Rock Band (Page 2 of 4)

That's right. If you can't get enough hack players to form a living-room band, you're in luck. You can customize your character and take your skills right online. No more posting Craigslist ads for a washed-up bassist with terrible time. Jump online and find one right away. All your band members could conceivably live in different cities across the country. Eat your heart of, Postal Service.

A Music Delivery Service

But it doesn't stop there. With MTV Games and Universal Music Group involved, Rock Band is getting the star treatment. Guitar Hero is an offline game was online accents. Rock Band is a complete content delivery platform, with downloads each week following the release of the game. The first will be The Who's "Who's Next", with more to come.

Guitar, bass, drums AND vocals...tambourine and cowbell, even!

How did they do it? MTV and Universal put together a music advisory board, headed up by the E Street Band's Little Steven, to spearhead selection of future tracks and albums, including downloadable music.

Summer Tour

Rock Band doesn't just take idea of touring to the next level. It explodes it. You'll tour an astonishing 41 venues in the game's World Tour Mode to real-life arenas famous for hosting a history of rock.

The peripheral pricing structure is still unconfirmed, but the big online retailers are beginning to list Rock Band for preorder.

Very soon, clear some space. Your living room is your stage, and your fans span the globe. For once, rock stardom is in plain sight. We can't freakin' wait.
