Rock Band 2 reality show to premiere on VH1 Classic this month photo

There have been rumors about this show for a while, but now it’s official!

On October 15, VH1 Classic will premiere a new reality show called Rock Band 2: The Stars. It will feature Alice Cooper (of “Schools Out” fame) and Sebastian Bach (of Gilmore Girls fame) as they play hosts to 12 wannabe fifteen minutes of fame whores rockers as they live in a mansion and compete in different Rock Band 2 competitions.

Nope, I’m not kidding.

Every week the contestant with the worst performance will be eliminated. Once there are three players left -- one on drums, one on guitar, and one on bass -- the final group will perform until one is crowned the ultimate Rock Band 2 player! I also think the winner gets to perform with the traveling Rock Band Live tour, but who cares when you will be known as THE ULTIMATE ROCK BAND 2 PLAYER!

I love reality shows, but this is getting a little ridiculous. Is it really going to be fun watching people play Rock Band 2 on your television week after week after week? Why not just play it at home yourself?! Eh, who am I kidding? I watch I Love Money, for crying out loud. I will probably end up watching this as well. *sigh*

Check out a sneak preview of the show by clicking the link below.

It might be fun to point at them and say "I'm better than J00!" Other than that no, it seems retarded.

I just realized that I totally spaced going to the premiere. Did you go to that thing, Chad?

Reality shows are universally stupid. Just one pathetic semi-scripted instance of melodrama after another. And does anybody consider VH1 to be a music channel anymore?

I have found that, in the case of Rock Band, happiness and self-esteem have an inverse relationship with recording and watching performances.

MTV isn't even a music channel anymore. It's more like RTV now.

No wait, that's exactly what it is now.

Nick Chester would be perfect for this show!

Until the challenge where he loses and subsequently gets kicked off the show for FAILING ON "YOU OUGHTA KNOW."

Alice Cooper seems to be the only beacon of light in this whole abomination. Other than that, there's really nothing positive I can say about this.

How is watching people play Rock Band supposed to be more enjoyable than playing Rock Band?

This "show" makes no sense at all.

VH1 Classic is awesome and acting like it is stupid makes you stupid. They still show MUSIC VIDEOS AND CONCERTS.

Damn TV really is on it's last legs.

At least when they made a DDR show, it was geared towards kids being healthy and actually dancing. But that didn't last long though.

In other news, over 50000 gamers the world over were killed today in what can only be described as the world's worst facepalming since the announcement of Halo the musical and GTA: On ice.
