Rock Band Update
So I finally logged on to rockband.com and looked at the leaderboards (score rankings) and learned that I am #33 out of over 16,000 on “Can’t Stand Losing You” on drums on expert. Pretty sweet! And I can do better, I’ve been practicing the two parts I tend to miss.. I thought I was excited about this game before, now the thrill of competition has arrived.
Seriously, this game is great – both from a gamer perspective, and a music biz one – I’ve read a number of stories about younger players getting introduced to artists they would never hear otherwise – critical artists that shaped music and influenced all the bands they thought were “the first to ever do this…”
It’s a great opp for new bands to get exposed as well, just need to play the music supervisor game with the people putting these titles together.. Easier said then done, but doable (and I imagine more and more opps moving into the future)..
I am slightly afraid of how much you post about Rock Band. Really? Don’t you have a COMPANY TO RUN?! ;)
