Krist Novoselic Needs Rock Band Practice
On a recent trip to the mall, Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic spotted a Rock Band demo and decided to give it a whirl. He chose the Nirvana tune “In Bloom”, a song he’s played hundreds of times in the studio and on stage. But Rock Band’s controller and format stumped the bassist.
As Novoselic put it, “I knew the bass line to the song, of course, but I couldn’t quite master this new, different way of playing it. The game reminded me of Space Invaders. I tried to hit the notes cascading down the screen, but could barely keep up.”
The funniest part is that a kid was watching him, obviously unaware who was giving the song a go. Novoselic admitted to becoming self-conscious and handed the controller to the kid, who proceeded to nail the song.
Novoselic said he really does love Rock Band and adds, “instead of file sharing, people are actually buying music again! HA!!!”

Musicians ALWAYS suck at Guitar Hero.
Last I heard Krist had joined San Francisco area punk rock band Flipper and that was 4 or 5 years ago when KROQ resuurected the old Olympic Auditorium in downtown LA for an old school punk gig. It was Suicidal Tendencies, Bad Brains, Fear and Flipper. I would have went, but I tickets to see Danzig with Behemoth the same night.

psythe: Rock band and guitar hero are essentially the same thing, just two companies that split from each other but both still hold the rights to the game idea somehow.
I will suport the concept of the game on the same basis as psythe does. As far as a mild get-together/party entertainment machine, the game is good fun. 2 or three people with 6 or 7 beers in each of em, all trying to be the biggest jackass they possibly can be on their prospective instruments...combine that with the good tunes they provide, and you have yourself some great entertainment value.
Drunk people and rock music are always great. Even more so when you give them an oppurtunity to make a fool of themselves...
