[Rock Block] September 5th
Critics hail bolstering of Guitar Hero library whilst Freeze Pop and the Beatles hit Best Buy and the bar.
Published: September 5, 2009
What are you doing on 9/9/09? I know I'm going to see "9". But some of you might be heading over to Best Buy to pick up your special edition The Beatles : Rock Band kits. And if you live in one of 10 lucky cities - Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco - then you can join some of your local morning DJ's and have the opportunity win a drem trip to England to visit the famous Abbey Road Studios and of course the rest of London too. I for one am shocked, SHOCKED to see that Burlington, Vermont was not included on the list of 10 cities. We ahve Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream for god sakes! How can we not be a major city? So if this interests you, head over to Best Buy on the 9th and grab one of the "limited" edition kits!
For those of you over the age of 21 who still like to pretend to rock out and aren't embarassed to do it in front of drunk strangers, Harmonix and MTV Games announced the launch of “Rock Band Bar Nights,” a ground-breaking initiative providing tools for U.S. bar owners to host their own Rock Band™ Nights. The program gives bars a cutting-edge in-bar entertainment option to help increase foot traffic and provide Rock Band fans with the opportunity to take the stage for a true rock star experience. Nice!
Also some new track!

Oh Guitar Hero, even when you don't really do anything, you find a way to make news. Activision wants you to know, critics have hailed it a the best Guitar hero game in years! Guiness, however, has not seen fit to climb down from his ivory tower and award the vaunted "Highest Rated Guitar Hero Game" record to this latest iteration of the series. But perhaps he will will this announcement of a plethora of downloadable songs from past GH games being made available to Guitar Hero 5 owners. For a $3.49 fee. Per pack.
