E3 07: Rock Band to Feature Hundreds of Songs, New Downloads Every Week
Harmonix today announced that its upcoming music-based game Rock Band will soon feature hundreds of songs for download, with entire albums available for purchase, as well as weekly downloadable singles.
The Who's "Who's Next" was confirmed as the first complete album. Singles confirmed in addition to last week's announced tracks were Metallica's "Enter Sandman", Rush's "Tom Sawyer," Ramones' "Rockaway Beach," STP's "Vaseline," Foo Fighters' "Learn to Fly," Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive," The Strokes' "Reptilia," and Queens of the Stone Age "Go With the Flow."
The company will form an advisory committee to select existing and upcoming music for inclusion in the game. The committee will be chaired by Steven "Little Steven" Van Zant, former actor from The Sopranos and a one-time guitarist in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.
"The ONLY way they can really break this game in the long run IMO is charging too much for the son..."171 Comments
