How Rock Band Was Saved From Catastrophic Failure

The above video is just the start — if you’re interested in looking a little more deeply into how the game’s instruments were developed, you should head to Harmonix’s website.

In a weird way, I almost lament the passing of the whole music/guitar/band genre. Some of the best times I’ve had this generation were with a group of friends on Rock Band. In fact, in the game’s honour, I may just bust out some multiplayer on the Jimi Hendrix DLC tonight.

And, for the record, I still have the original instruments that shipped with Rock Band 1. And they all still work (except for one of the whammy bars on my guitar, which is totally busted).
