I am surprised no one has mentioned this before.

But is Eisley thinking about doing this?

http://creators.rockband.com/

Basically what it is is a tool that musicians can use to upload thier tracks to be sold and played on Rock Band video games.

I would so buy every Eisley tune on Rock Band.

Imagine Head Against The Sky or Many Funerals on Rock Band.

Do Want

I would honestly buy Rock Band just for a few of their songs. Especially "Smarter."

WB might have something to say about it.

And what they will say is: no.

That's what I'd say too. I'd much rather play Eisley songs (or anyone else's, for that matter) on my real guitar than a piece of plastic with buttons.

that's because, of course (and i am making an assumption) you have never played Beatles Rock Band.

When rock band is done right, it is amazing.

As you know I can play a real guitar, but it is still fun to play rock band too

You're right, I've never played Beatles Rock Band, and it doesn't make a difference. I like the Beatles about as much as I like the concept of Rock Band.

The Rock Band Network is intended more for unsigned bands or independent labels. Besides, Harmonix and Warner have been having a bit of a feud over licensing costs lately, so there's that roadblock too.

It took me a while to get into it (though I'm more of a Guitar Hero fan,) and I thought it was pointless to play a fake guitar, too. But it's pretty engaging once you get into the swing of things.

And it's a good musical tool, too, if you think of it as a rhythm exercise. My time has gotten a lot better.

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I'm bumping this now because it's been a few months since the Rock Band Network launched and it's been a pretty big success so far. Also, now that the band have left WB, it might be possible to get some stuff up. Plus, in a few months Rock Band 3 will be coming out, and it supports keyboard and harmonies, so once that happens, it would be a pretty good opportunity (IMO) for the band.

I totally missed this, and now that I have seen it I am Mr. Green

I now know where the things I think to say that cause me to bite my tongue go...

That said, next time I have to write a review and really want to make some critical points but lose the motivation to write because I just don't have the desire to bother being critical, I'm forwarding it to Saellys!

Laughing I may take up freelancing just so people can outsource their cynicism to me! I get to be snarky and mean, other people don't have to think about it, everybody wins!

Me and my buddy Jonathan are tentatively planning on Teaming up to do something. I tried to get him connect with Playbackstl.com where I contribute ( they don't pay, but CAN get you comped tickets and promos of albums [now done via secure download mostly]) ahead of releases.

They were slow to respond, we got frustrated, and we're going to do our own sometime soon, cause he's a great writer ( was going to write for Alternative press about 8 years ago but got hit by a bus, for real ).

I have up till this point taken a "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything" approach to criticism, against my better judgment, and have been trying to reel in other people to be a Counterpoint, and debate the merits of the music. That will be one of the things Unique to whatever blog/ site gets put together.

So yeah, you got the gig if you want it. Maybe you can pad the portfolio and make some good connections for your Camp, Playbackstl is a good jumping off point to push that along for sure.
