It's Not Rock, It's Rock Band

As Rock Band has climbed in notoriety and popularity, Harmonix (the studio behind it) has run a few interviews with various musicians included in the game. (Text, audio, and video.) A few, like the B-52's Fred Schneider and Jimmy Buffett, have admitted to trying out Rock Band, typically to dismal results.

But now those prog rock legends, Rush, have actually let themselves be filmed in the act. Not surprisingly, it took someone like Stephen Colbert to make it happen.

The outcome was not too surprising, either.

I've probably explained this before but several months ago my apartment complex "upgraded" to digital cable and I was forced to either pay $32 extra each month (!) or -$5 and simply loose a bunch of channels. Comedy Central was among the casualties. Frak I miss those shows! Colbert does some very creatively pop culture stuff.

You mean Rock Band isn't really like playing an actual instrument?
