The $200 price tag and the irresistible lure of Dr. Mario have so far prevented me from getting into Rock Band, but the first volume has proven to be quite popular–and rumors of which bands will have music featured in part two have already started to swirl. A press release for the completely unrelated game Age Of Conan mentioned Swedish act Turbonegro as being “featured in Rock Band 2“; Bad Religion’s Brett Gurewitz Twittered about tweaking Bad Religion’s “Sorrow” for the forthcoming game; and a couple of obituaries for Bo Diddley have claimed that his guitar will be “featured in the impending video game.” Get ready, pseudo-rockers!
