In the latest trailer for Guitar Hero Live, James Franco pokes fun at Lenny Kravitz' recent wardrobe malfunction, which exposed his manhood to the world.

The pair play the upcoming Activision game in the clip, both lamenting their lack of ability and the cruel crowd's responses.

"Who brings a 'You Suck' sign to a rock concert?" asks Franco.

"James Franco fans, apparently," responds Kravitz.

Meanwhile, Kravitz recently said in an interview he thinks it's funny to get "pummelled" by children on Guitar Hero.

Although the 51-year-old has been rocking out in front of crowds for decades with hits including 'Fly Away' and 'Are You Gonna Go My Way', he says he sucks at games like Guitar Hero.

"My relationship with it is playing my godkids and nieces and nephews back when it came out and always getting my ass kicked by little kids," he laughed to Billboard.

"So it's pretty funny, getting pummelled by these little kids and they know you're a real guitar player. Your song's on there, and you get your butt kicked."

Kravitz takes his lack of talent for the game in good grace and it hasn't stopped him from signing up to help promote the new Guitar Hero Live, which goes on sale on October 23. The singer offered some words of advice to fellow musicians who might try their hand at the game.

"As a guitar player, when you first play it, it doesn't make any sense," he said. "The way you have to think in (the game) is not natural to me."
