Has-been band’s new single to be had in ‘Rock Band’
A multi-platinum-selling band is releasing a brand new single on the video game “Rock Band.”
But don’t get too excited. It’s Mötley Crüe.
Not content to toil in past glories, the band is hoping to reach a whole new generation of fans (having missed two or three generations in between) with “Saints of Los Angeles,” a new song that debuted yesterday on the Xbox 360 version of “Rock Band” and will appear tomorrow for the PlayStation 3 version. (Sorry, PlayStation 2 “Rock Band” players: As usual, you got the short end of the virtual guitar.)
The song costs 99 cents to download (80 Xbox Live points).
It’s similar to an announcement made in December that a new song from Metallica’s next album would be appearing as a download for “Rock Band.” We haven’t seen that song yet (or full-album downloads, for that matter). Instead, we get Mötley Crüe.
Have you heard the song yet? Let us know in the comments.
