The Who: Rock Band

Persistant rumors claim the legendary The Who band are going to be the next to recieve their own branded Rock Band game, following The Beatles who made history on Rock Band, and other bands who recieved their own game in Guitar Hero like Aerosmith and Metallica .

Singer Roger Daltrey let the following tidbit slip in an interview with MassLive:

“The game, yeah, yeah, they’re going to be doing a Who one next year. There is one planned. [The idea] is fabulous. Anything that gets non-musical people interested in music is wonderful.”

It seems like Harmonix are working closely with the band to finzlize the details. A Rock Band spokesman spoke to Kotaku lately saying:

“We’re working closely with the Who on what’s next, but don’t have anything new to announce at this time.”

The Who choice of Rock Band over Guitar Hero was probably effected by the recent launch of The Beatles: Rock Band who kept the true signature of the Fab Four over the game. The Who already launch few of their song on different Rock Band games like “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” RB2 had “Pinball Wizard” and July 2008 saw the The Best of the Who bring a dozen of the band’s hits to Rock Band as downloadable content.
