Satriani signs on for Guitar Hero, Rock Band
TheTaj | 8:43 PM on 03.30.2008 12 comments




Pioneering guitarist Joe Satriani has stated in an interview with Guitar World that he has licensed his hits "Satch Boogie" and "Surfing with the Alien" for the next installments of Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

My question is: how will Harmonix implement these songs into Rock Band if they have no vocals? Perhaps they will overdub a cowbell solo.

A couple of weeks ago, Harmonix approached ScoreHero to help organize a press event for their upcoming title, Rock Band. ScoreHero gladly accepted the offer, and Phr34k took on the challenge of creating the tournament format for the event. The end result was a fantastic tournament format that showcases the various game modes that will be in Rock Band. This event will take place over the next couple of weeks, leading up to Rock Band's release in late November of this year. The participants in this event will be none other than 10 complete bands (4 members each), derived from the top 10 video game review sites:

• GameSpot
• IGN
• GameSpy
• Team Xbox
• GamePro Online
• 1up
• GamesRadar
• GameTrailers
• AOL
• Yahoo

ScoreHero will be providing per round updates on the event and how the 'bands' are progressing, and each website has the opportunity to release articles based on their experience with the game and tournament. The event will start early next week with Round 1, and will continue towards the finals in mid-November. Which band will emerge victorious? Stay tuned to find out!

And where does Destructoid fit into all of this? NOWHERE. Nero could've put those asshats in their place.


*sigh*

I'm travelin' down the road an’ I'm flirtin' with disaster
I've got the pedal to the floor an’ my life is running faster
I'm outta money outta hope it looks like self destruction
Well how much more can we take with all of this corruption

We’re flirtin' with disaster, ya'll know what I mean
And the way we run our lives it makes no sense to me
I don’t know about yourself or what you wanna to be, yeah
When we gamble with our time we choose our destiny

I'm travelin' down that lonesome road.
Feel like I'm draggin’ a heavy load.
Yet I've tried to turn my head away,
Feel about the same most every day
You know what I’m talkin’ about man

Speeding down the fast lane an’ honey we’re playin' from town to town
The boys and I been burnin' it up can't seem to slow it down
I got the pedal to the floor our lives are runnin' faster,
We got our sight set straight ahead but I ain't sure what we're after

We’re flirtin' with disaster ya'll damn sure know what I mean.
You know the way we run our lives it makes no sense to me
I don't know about yourself or what you plan to be, yeah
When we gamble with our time we choose our destiny

Yeah!! We're travelin' down that lonesome road.
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Though I try to turn my head away,
I'm flirtin' with disaster every day.
An’ you are too baby, Ha ha ha ha ha
You aim for everyone, Oh come on baby

Guitar solo

We’re flirtin' with disaster baby ya'll know what I mean
You know the way we run our lives it makes no sense to me
I don't know about yourself or what you plan to be
When we gamble with our time we choose our destiny

Yeah!! We're travelin' down this lonesome road.
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load.
Though I try to turn my head away, Bop mm bop bop yeah
We’re flirtin' with disaster every day.
