Blackstreet Singer Accused Of Rock Band Guitar Assault
Remember that band Blackstreet? Me neither!* But Teddy Riley, a singer from the R&B combo, is accused of using a plastic Rock Band guitar to beat and terrorize his own daughters. Riley's daughter Taja says the singer was "stomping, punching and bashing" her and her older sister, and at one point, the enraged vocalist picked up a...

Review Of New Weezer Album Accuses Band Of Catering To Rock Band
Weezer remains my favorite band...ever. It'd take something very special to top Blue Album and Pinkerton in my mind, especially when you add nostalgia to the mix. But I'm a little more realistic about modern day Weezer, especially the band's latest record, Raditude (don't get me started on the title). The notoriously snarky Pitchfork, however,...

Finally, Harmonix and MTV Games have released more details on the much-anticipated debut of Queen in Rock Band and Rock Band 2. It's been a long time -- too long -- coming, but on October 20, Freddy Mercury and the guitar-squealing gang will appear in Rock Band in the form of a 10-song downloadable track pack. The song list: "Another...

Future Rock Bands To Be More Immersive?
Earlier this week, I basically questioned whether music games were dead, and asked what developers could possibly do to "add value" to a genre that, at its core, is a high-tech version of Simon Says. While they didn't say anything specific, Harmonix did address the issue in a recent interview with computer and video games. When asked...

Rock Band Network Songs Aren't Required To Use Every Instrument
Some songs don't need a guitar, bass, drums and vocals, which is why tracks produced for the upcoming Rock Band Network for (what else?) Rock Band won't have that as a requirement, either. Destructoid reports musicians will have no problem publishing songs that would only be playable for, say, vocalists only or exclusively guitar and bass --...

Activision Looking At Project Natal, Sony Motion For Guitar Hero
Where do music games go from here? DJ Hero and Scratch: The Ultimate DJ are exploring otherwise ignored areas of music, but Guitar Hero and Rock Band may begin stretching themselves thin. In an interview with CVG, Guitar Hero 5 project lead Brian Right said he's looking at Project Natal and Sony's motion technology for ideas, though he hasn't...

Jimmy Page And Jack White Don't Like Guitar Hero
It's interesting to find out how rockers feel about music games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Yeah, they're just games, and we just have fun with them, but it must be surreal to have your art, job and craft appear in a video game. If you've poured your life-blood and passion into a musical composition, it must be really, really weird to have...

TheFeed's Weekend Play List: 'Rock Band 2', 'Chinatown Wars', 'ExciteBots', 'Wolverine' And More!
We're gearing up for the weekend here at TheFeed. While we usually spend the weekends kite-surfing with super-models clinging to our backs and/or performing Kabuki theater productions at local retirement homes, we'll probably manage to squeeze in a few hours of video games too. Below, in no particular order, is what the editorial team plans to...

Next Week's 'Rock Band' DLC: Elvis Costello, Social D, Replacements, Steely Dan
Next week's Rock Band tracks have made my aging-hipster dreams come true. It is as if Harmonix and MTV were paging through my collection of vinyl and picking and choosing top tracks, personally suited to me. Here's what's coming, in order of my personal preference: Elvis Costello: As long-time readers of this site know, I've been calling...

Rumor: 'Lego Rock Band' Coming in 2009?
Internet-leak time, folks: According to Harmonix senior designer Dan Teasdale's blog, Think Services, the company behind the Game Developers Conference, may have inadvertently revealed the existence of Lego Rock Band.

Offspring, REM Come To 'Rock Band'
The variety and scope of Rock Band's downloadable content continues to impress me. Next week's odd trio of hit-makers: The Offspring, R.E.M and Richard Thompson(!?) Sure, R.E.M and Offspring make sense, but who would have ever thought of including a track from mannered, critically lauded folk (kind of) guitarist Richard Thompson? Nice work,...
