E3 09: Band Hero artists revealed, includes...Janet Jackson? photo

Given what little information know about Activision's upcoming Band Hero, we just assumed it was Guitar Hero with more "mainstream" pop artists artists. Being the first E10+ game in the series, we weren't really sure what to expect from the game's music. 

On one of what seems like a billion jumbo-tron screens, Activision was pimping all of its Hero games, Band included. The never-before-seen trailer revealed some of the 50-plus artists that would appear in the game, including: Janet Jackson; Jesse McCartney; Culture Club; Snow Patrol; The Go-Gos; Fall Out Boy; The Turtles; Marvin Gaye; and Maroon 5.

Well, that's... interesting. Which Janet Jackson song do you hope to be rocking with three other friends this November, when the game ships? For my money, I don't think "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" can be beat.

That's odd, you mentioned a Janet Jackson song that can't be beat, but you seem to have misspelled "Rhythm Nation."

Yeah, I'm still not sure why they can't just release these songs as DLC for GH:WT.

It's pretty much like Lego Rock Band, but without Legos.

I'm with Dexter on this one. These should just be DLC for World Tour, but whatever.
