Survey hints at new Rock Band 2 additions
Team Joystiq has learned through a few anonymous tips that EA with the help of Listen Research are conducting surveys for Rock Band 2. And with any pre-release video game survey, we get some insight to where the dev team is headed.The survey questions are said to target various topics including Rock Band 2 pricing, how many expansions one would be willing to buy and the likelihood of purchasing Rock Band over a game like Guitar Hero IV. But most noteworthy is rumor that some of the surveys mention certain feature additions including the World Tour being online with a music video creator and the ability to hire a staff. Also, a Battle of the Bands mode is mentioned where players go head to head against other rival bands in daily or weekly battles. Finally, some surveys are rumored to talk about a new drum trainer mode being added to the sequel, something we really, really, really need.

Video: Flawless 'The Perfect Drug' drumming
In news that isn't timely but is still very important because of the "holy crap!" reaction it gets, we bring you video of IBitePrettyHard drumming to Rock Band's "The Perfect Drug" DLC at 100% perfect, no faults and completely flawless. A 1,893 note streak? In-freakin-credible! Note that this video is not to be confused with the other expertly drummed "The Perfect Drug" video we posted about this past February, because it wasn't 100% perfect. Also, this new video shows not only the notes being played but the player's drum movements, which is rather interesting. Man, if only we had an ounce of Rock Band talent ...
