Now this is some kick ass news! I mean, the announcement of GameTank's real guitar using, Guitar Hero-like game called Guitar Rising was awesome in its own right, but now Fat Wreck Records let loose that longtime punk rockers No Use For A Name are directly involved with the game! The Fat update uses the word "developing" instead of "involved," which I can't find any info to back it up, so maybe that's a misunderstanding. Maybe its not, someone know?

Either way, I love No Use For A Name and if they are able to push forward even a fraction of a punk rock agenda into the rock gaming world, I'm all for it. I'm sick of punk rock getting the bitch treatment in Guitar Hero/Rock Band, as they continue to put in songs that just aren't fun to play from crusty bands that are important to the history of the genre but not necessary noteworthy guitar-wise. Plus it would give me an excuse to put some new strings on that dusty guitar in the closet. ;P
