Activision has announced that the Man in Black, Mr. Ring of Fire himself, Johnny Cash will be a playable character in Guitar Hero 5. Cash's "Ring of Fire" is included in the track list, and players will be able to perform as Cash when they play the song in the game. Needless to say, having Cash as playable character is pretty cool, and way cooler than having Garbage's Shirley Manson. 

Guitar Hero 5 is due out on Sept. 1. [NME]
