That is a terrific idea! It was from this blog that caught my eye that brought me from your blog on your MySpace page. (Follow me?)

One of the great things that I love about games now (“now” being sometime in the early 2000’s) is that they can easily expose you to new bands. And if you don’t like that song/artist, you can always press L2 (or whatever it might be on XBox) or remove it through the menu screen options.

I can’t tell you how many bands I’ve fallen in love with by being introduced to them through a game! And it isn’t be “forced” on anyone in just the same way new music on the radio isn’t forced.

@ Mathaeis: Man, that’s the tough part about things. There are so many parties involved that it’s hard to filter down great ideas through all of the decision makers involved and keep everyone happy. But like you said, things have moved so quickly, maybe we’ll see this happen sooner than later

My girlfriend and I actually got to meet up with Sylvain Dubrofsky, the Senior Designer for RB2, for lunch on Christmas Eve day (His mother knew her mother, he came home for the holidays, etc.). I actually talked a lot with him about how the whole process works, partially because I had a business plan to unite Harmonix, The Megas and Nerdapalooza. Although I haven’t hit a dead end just yet, the sad part is a lot of the choices are out of Harmonix’s control. MTV comes to them with their own plans and artists, and the pipeline for making new DLC gets packed full pretty quick. Although it’s not something absolutely out of the question, the system is going to need a little work before it would support something like this. However, I totally agree that it would be incredible to see such variety in the future. Although, given what this started as, and has already become, I guess it’s still a lot to be thankful for, to say the least. Here’s hoping to the future.

There are definitely a lot of possibilities down that road.

I got GH: World Tour for Christmas, my first music game. As a songwriter, I’d be creating all sorts of music on there if the studio part of the game was worth a damn. It’s so much more complicated, and at the same time more basic, than it needs to be. I’d love to publish my music through Rock Band or Guitar Hero.

Ricardo – I think expanding this out worldwide would be absolutely awesome! I don’t think there’s such a thing as “too big” for something like this.

Definitely not a bad idea. It would be perfect if small bands from other countries could join too – though this would turn out to be something too big.

Cheers!
