Elroy Budvis is a character that can be unlocked in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, along with Metalhead, on the Wii and PS2 versions only - the other versions have God of Rock and series staple Grim Ripper instead. His actions are identical to that of Lars'. He seems strikingly similar to Elvis in terms of looks and his own biography even hints at a possible meeting with Elvis (though he is not mentioned by name - see below).

Appearence

Guitar Hero III - Elroy looks like a typical Elvis Presley impersonator, much like the ones commonly seen in Las Vegas, except that Elroy only plays guitar instead of singing. In one costume he wears the pearl-white flares and stiff-collared chestless jacket famous to Elvis, only this time with a blue and gold colour scheme upperbody.

Biography

Li'l Elroy started banging on the ivories when he was 6. The neighborhood kids weren't too nice about his love for the keys telling him: "Sissy-boys play the piano!". It didn't take long for him to pick up the guitar after that. In a band since he was 12 - his love of the steel strings has never faltered. Then a producer gave him a steady studio job - until the day he met a legend in the flesh - he learned the chops from this idol of a by-gone era and soon he was handed his trademark massive golden belt buckle. From that day on his motto has been: "Heavy Metal, Punk, Polka? It's all rock 'n' roll to Elroy baby." -- Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock in-game bio
