Has the band ever commented on Guitar Hero or Rock Band?


Recommended Posts

I ask because I love Wilco, and I love Guitar Hero and Rock Band, so by that logic I think I would love it if there were some Wilco tunes in one of those games. So I'm really just wondering if they've ever said anything, one way or the other, about their thoughts on those types of games and if they would ever allow their music in one of them.

 

Because I could really go for a nice Wilco three-pack in Rock Band.

This made me sit on wikipedia for a half hour looking at the songs available for both games (and sequels and sequels) since i've never played them (yet is considering the beatles one for me and my son), and noticed that the next guitar hero is going to have kurt cobain and johnny cash as characters in it (which is disgusting in so many ways to me, but whatever) and thought it would be perfect to have tracks from the drunken '96 irvine plaza show come after johnny cash in the game. Casino Queen would be perfect.

I would KILL for some Wilco on Rock Band. To my knowledge, Wilco hasn't commented on it. I imagine it's only a matter of time before it happens. We're starting to see more "less mainstream" bands showing up (TV on the Radio, Kings of Leon, et cetera), and once labels/bands realize the amount of money to be made by licensing their work to be used in these games, I think we'll start seeing even more.

 

I'd love to see "Spiders," "Shot in the Arm," "I am the Man Who Loves You," "Impossible Germany" and "Monday" on it. Fuck it, what am I saying... I'd be happy with whatever Rock Band bone Wilco chose to throw at us.

my friends and i had a huge rock band marathon this past saturday, and my one friend who love wilco and i were discussing how great it'd be to have at least I'm The Man Who Loves You on there. I'd like to see At Least That's What You Said on there as well.
