Rock Band
 

Interesting concept, especially since the makers of Guitar Hero are doing it.

[quote:59cf2]The game, revealed earlier by USA Today, sees developer Harmonix, along with its owner MTV, teaming up with Electronic Arts to offer budding musicians the chance to create their own rock group. We're talking the shebang too, because the game will support four instrument controllers including lead guitar, bass, drums and a microphone for the lead singer.[/quote:59cf2]

[quote:59cf2]Yeah, they have longstanding, deep relationships with the music industry, and it's been incredible working with MTV to forge these new relationships with the record companies. All of the major record companies are onboard with this project: Universal, Warner, Sony, BMI, Hollywood, even. Basically, every major label group that is significant is onboard and opening up their vaults of original masters to us for this game, which is really exciting for us.[/quote:59cf2]

[quote:59cf2]We've been working at this for more than a decade and finally now to have the resources and the creative freedom to be making exactly the game that we want to make. [It's great] to not be limited by resources, to have a partner like MTV supporting us, have a partner like EA who is literally unparalleled in the world at what they do in marketing and distribution of games. To have all the major record companies supporting us and offering up their content to us, honestly, I and the rest of the creative team here just feel incredibly privileged and excited to be able to just be swinging for the fences with such an ambitious project that we really think can fundamentally transform music entertainment.[/quote:59cf2]

just start a real fucking band you'll get more out of it

Lol, the first day I played guitar hero I thought of this.

Most people aren't talented enough, or don't want to put in the time to actually have a band and sound good. this lets those people start a band of sorts. I play guitar, but guitar hero is much easier to pick up and make sound good than a real instrument. I'm not in a band, but I jam with friends on occasion which is a lot of fun. But this can be a lot of fun also.

Also, my friend who plays real guitar every day is addicted to guitar hero.
