Holy craps!

This weekend, Harmonix, MTV and EA announced the development of Rock Band, a music game ala Guitar Hero that allows up to four players to jam out on four different instrument controllers. The controllers: two guitars (lead and bass), a drum kit and a microphone. The Jamming: in-the-room or online!

But that's not, as they say, all. Rock Band will feature original artists playing their original hits as opposed to the fake versions from previous guitar and karaoke games.

"Rock Band takes the core premise of Guitar Hero and expands it tenfold," says Alex Rigopulos, co-founder of Harmonix, which developed the game and the Karaoke Revolution games. "It lets you create a complete collaborative band."

"Our vision for Rock Band is to completely change the way people interact with and enjoy the music they love,� said Jeff Yapp, EVP, MTV Program Enterprises. By joining forces with EA and the music industry's largest record labels and publishers, we are striving to create a groundbreaking new platform that allows people to connect with their favorite music and artists in ways they never have before.�

The game will be available before Christmas (most likely) and is for the 360 and PlayStation 3. No tracklists have been released and no screenshots produced, but you can bet we'll give 'em up when we get 'em!

TheFeed needs a shower now.

All I can say is Holy Crap...I hope this is released this year.
