Once again Rock Band makes Guitar Hero look second-rate . Rock Band‘s answer to one of the worst video game ideas ever (Guitar Hero: Metallica) will be released on 9/9/09 and will feature none other than the Fab Four: The Beatles! This also marks the first time The Beatles’ music will be available in the digital realm.
What better way for Rock Band to give a big ol’ middle finger to Guitar Hero than to get a band for their game that:
a. Metallica couldn’t compete with if they tried
b. Has never made their music available digitally before
And check out the icing on the cake:
Giles Martin, son of longtime Beatles producer George Martin and co-producer of the Grammy Award-winning “LOVE” project with Cirque du Soleil, is serving as music producer for the Rock Band game
If you haven’t heard the “LOVE” record, I highly suggest going out and buying it. If none of this means anything to you, you’re hopeless. Burn all of your albums and never listen to music ever again.

Did Hinder and Nickelback coordinate this? If not, its a pretty funny coincidence that TWO shitty bands that sound eerily similar would make absolutely ridiculous statements on the same day. Not to mention statements that leave them this open to criticism.
One of the only "decent rock bands" out there...according to Chad Kroeger (Source: MTV)
Apparently Mr. Kroeger thinks we should boycott games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band because they are essentially ruining rock music and causing a lack of “decent rock bands.” You can read about it here
I personally have NO IDEA what he is talking about. I hear decent rock bands all the time. Well, except when I turn on the radio and hear bands like…oh I don’t know…NICKELBACK.
Chad Kroeger being concerned about the state of the music industry is like Hitler being concerned about the well-being of the Jewish people.
