I’m sure it’s happened to many of you, listening to the radio either in the car or at work and hearing a particular song and thinking, “Damn, this song really should be in Rock Band!” Apparently this happened so much that our friend DrScotto began to reply with simply, “EVERY song should be in Rock […]
“Guitar Hero IV” will feature a Band… of Rock…
Rumored for a few weeks now, it seems that confirmation has come out that the next real installment of the Guitar Hero franchise (skipping over certain spin-off products) will feature a drum set to augment your Guitar and Bass rocking.
