The year is 2055, and through the music of Johnny and his fellow musicians, the world has entered a new age of peace and harmony. This ends abruptly as the games main villain, Mr. L. Diablo, Lord of the Underworld, steals Johnny's dearest possession and greatest love, his guitar "Anita". With Johnny out of the way, L. Diablo proceeds to have his minions capture and imprison all the other musical legends of the world.Equipped with a new guitar doubling as a machine gun, Johnny sets out on a journey through Sin Sin Prison to save "Anita" and the other legendary musicians from the clutches of L.
