During EA’s press briefing yesterday some interesting details regarding the upcoming monster Rock Band came to light. Aside from talking about the peripherals and the game itself the company revealed that it has recruited musician/actor Stephen VanZant to serve as the chairman of the Rock Band Music Advisory Board. Van Zant will head a group tasked with evaluating new music for the title in support of the WEEKLY updates for the game.
EA also announced that the additional content will take the form of singles, bundles of songs or entire albums with The Who’s “Who’s Next” leading off the list. Other musicians and bands were discussed but interestingly heavy metal band Metallica has also signed onto the service to make a large amount if not all of the band’s library available.
