MTV making Rock Band 2 telly show News

PlayStation 2 Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii
News by Robert Purchese

15 September, 2008

MTV has decided to make a telly show about people playing Rock Band 2, and call it - brilliantly - Rock Band 2: The Show.

The music company is looking for a group of four to star in the series. Quartets that stand out will be favoured, according to the casting advert (spotted by Kotaku), and visual themes such as fire-fighting get-ups are encouraged. As they should be.

MTV is expected to officially unveil Rock Band 2: The Show during an event this evening in the US, where Alice Cooper and Sebastian Bach will be wielding plastic guitars and making merry.

Rock Band 2 launches this week in the US as a timed exclusive for Xbox 360. There's no word on a European date, but, with Rock Band 1 only just available on PS3, Wii and PS2, we may be waiting quite some time.

Head over to our Rock Band 2 gamepage to find out more.

I don't have a Rock Band visual theme but I do play Forza dressed as a French maid - does that qualify?

Since when was MTV making a TV program a sellout?

I am trying hard to think of a worse idea than this. Going to see Madonna in concert possibly trumps it, but not by much.

Why EA? They're only distributing. MTV are the publisher (and therefore probably responsible for release strategy).
