Scoop of the year: 4 GN'R albums coming soon?

We all knew that a long-awaited Guns N' Roses track, Shackler's Revenge, was going to debut with Rock Band 2. But what we didn't know was that four Guns N' Roses albums could be dropping as early as September - so says a "rep" from Harmonix Systems, makers of the Rock Band video game.

But is the story even true?

During the recent E3 Games Show, a man claiming to be a Harmonix rep was interviewed about the upcoming Rock Band 2. After talking about the improved instruments, which includes a $300 premium drum set, the rep - who assumed he was talking off the record - let it slip that four Guns N' Roses albums are planned to be released to coincide with the MTV Video Music Awards.

"We work with MTV to make Rock Band," the rep says. "From what I've heard, there's going to be four simultaneous albums to be released that coincide with the VMAs."

The rep raves about the new track Shackler's Revenge. But he expresses some disappointment in the change in the overall Guns N' Roses sound, about how he misses Slash, and how the new material sounds "industrial" and "polished."

GN'R To Get their own Guitar Hero?

Famous rockers such as Guns 'N Roses and Van Halen are said to be fleshing out deals to capitalise on the popularity of Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

That's according to Front Line Managemet boss Irving Azoff, who was speaking to the Wall Street Journal. Those groups, alongside others such as The Eagles and Steely Dan, "all have deals of varying types in the works with one or the other or both of these companies" said Azoff, referring to Activision and MTV.

The Front Line music label has Aerosmith among others on its books.

The reason Azoff believes videogames deals are becoming so popular is money. "[They] can be much more lucrative than anything you can do in the record business," he said.

GN'R & The Power Of Video Games To Sell Songs

A decade and a half after releasing its previous album, Guns N’ Roses plans to put out a new song in September — on the video game Rock Band 2. MTV announced on Monday that the sequel to its popular Rock Band game will include “Shackler’s Revenge,” a track from the Guns N’ Roses album that has been in the works for more than a decade, said people familiar with the deal who spoke on condition of anonymity because the arrangement has yet to be announced.

The inclusion of the song on a game suggests that the Guns N’ Roses album “Chinese Democracy” will come out this fall, after years of delays. Axl Rose, who has selected replacements for the other original members, has said that the album is finished, but a release date has not been announced.

MTV and Universal Music Group, Guns N’ Roses label, declined to comment on the deal.
