EA, MTV Games, Harmonix and the whole ball of musical wax just announced a new
Rock Band Live Tour that's set to travel across the United States, making 29 stops and kicking off October 5th in San Diego. Funny thing about the
Rock Band concert, it isn't all that rock inspired. Bands including Panic At The Disco and Dashboard Confessional will headline the tour with special guests Plain White T's and The Cab. Yeah ... about that. Interesting though is mention that local bands will have a chance to play on the main stage between acts, battling it out for
Rock Band band supremacy. Complete list of tour dates, locations and venues after the jump.

Also, according to the story, all those bands will have downloadable content in the future(except for Panic at the Disco! which will have a song featured in Rock Band 2)

are you implying panic! at the disco isn't rock? any way you have a typo - missing exclamation point after panic (should read "Panic! at the Disco")

Panic is ok, but not rock. I like to hear Panic on occasion. The rest seem to be one hit wonders :/

Yes. After 11 years and six brilliant studio albums, Deathcab for Cutie is destined to go down in the history books as a one hit wonder.
Really wish some of these bands would show up IN Rock Band. Don't Wait from Dashboard Confessional would be a great vocal song, and just about anything Deathcab would be fun to play for all involved parties.

Now see, I read The Cab so I assume it was a band actually called The Cab, not Death Cabe For Cutie.
Them I like :)
But they only have about 2 mainstreem hits. that dont matter though.

Panic is agreed upon as a forum of rock by basically any random critic out there. Stuffing in some extra components from other genres doesn't completely exclude them.

Still doesn't excuse the fact that they're an overproduced sack of crap.

I think watching them attempt to play Rock Band would be a lot more entertaining, than listening to any of them.

Let the debate end - Panic sucks equally with or without the exclamation mark.
