Rock Band Game To Feature Music From THE WHO, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, BLACK SABBATH And Others

ShackNews has issued the following report from Chris Remo:

"A new fact sheet released by Electronic Arts reveals a total of eight songs confirmed for inclusion in Harmonix Music Systems' ambitious upcoming rhythm game Rock Band, and confirmed a variety of other features of the game. The publisher also released new screenshots.

Of the eight listed songs, an impressive six are drawn from the master tapes of each band's original recording: THE WHO's 'Won't Get Fooled Again', DAVID BOWIE's 'Suffragette City', WEEZER's 'Say it Ain't So', NIRVANA's 'In Bloom', THE HIVES' 'Main Offender', and, for that extra bit of cowbell, BLUE ÖYSTER CULTs 'Don't Fear the Reaper'.

The remaining two tracks, BLACK SABBATH's 'Paranoid' and MOUNTAIN's 'Mississippi Queen', will be performed as covers, in line with most of the music used in Harmonix's previous Guitar Hero games.
