'Rock Band' To Be Featured On MTLEY CRE Tour

June 25, 2008

The Pulse of Radio reports that MTLEY CRE's upcoming Cre Fest tour will host a Rock Band championship at every stop, according to IGN.com. Each show will feature a "Rock Band Second Stage Experience" that will let fans try out the Rock Band game as a bassist, guitarist, drummer or vocalist. The top scoring players will win a chance to play Rock Band onstage as opening acts for the headliners, a meet-and-greet with artists on the tour, backstage passes to the Rock Band VIP area, and a chance to play Rock Band backstage against Cre Fest artists. All contestants must be 13 years or older.

The CRE launched a partnership earlier this year with Rock Band when they premiered their single, "Saints of Los Angeles", as a download for the game. According to RollingStone.com, it sold five times more copies through Rock Band as it did on iTunes after a month.

CRE bassist Nikki Sixx told The Pulse of Radio he's not very good at the game himself. "My son was playing one of the songs, and it was like, it was a song I wrote, and I went in and he was playing it, and he was like, you know, kicking ass on it," he said. "And I said, 'Gimme that!' And I tried and I pretty much, like, sucked. And he's like, 'Dad, dude, you really suck at this, don't you?'"

The new MTLEY CRE album, also called "Saints of Los Angeles", arrived in stores on Tuesday (June 24)

Cre Fest, which also features BUCKCHERRY, PAPA ROACH, SIXX: A.M. and TRAPT, kicks off on July 1 in West Palm Beach, Florida.
