Start practising those guitar moves - the plans for Rock Band 2 have finally been unveiled, and it all sounds rather exciting. As we already know, Rock Band 2 is going to be an Xbox 360 exclusive this September, but what's more exciting is that Harmonix and MTV have also confirmed the release of the game on the PlayStation 3 and Wii before the year is out. The rocktastic music line-up includes the Guns N' Roses track 'Shackler's Revenge', taken from their long-awaited album 'Chinese Democracy' , AC/DC's 'Let There Be Rock' and a first appearance from Bob Dylon with 'Tangled Up in Blue'.
To crank that excitement up a notch, additional artists include Pearl Jam, Metallica, Motorhead, Megadeth and Jane's Addiction. We are being promised more than 80 songs included on the game disc, with 20 bonus tracks available for downloading at the time of its release, as well as more than 500 downloadable songs by the end of the year.
Rock Band owners will also be happy to know they can continue to rock on to the soundtrack of their existing game, including downloaded tracks, to the new version. However it is unknown at this time whether you'll be charged for doing that.
Gameplay features have also been improved. As well as new online battle options, you're also given better control over single player choices and a new line-up of instruments.
It sounds so damn good you can hardly contain yourself, can you?

Don Coleman's song "Women, Whiskey & Rock'n'Roll (celebrating the life and spirit of Bon Scott)" has been airing in 16 countries so far with the latest Network (BFBS) airing it to 12 countries at once.
The song has been well received globally and has been on AC/DC's website with the 'homage' video to Bon Scott (chosen by the band) for about 7 weeks and has had about 7000 viewings so far. www.acdc.com/fromtheband
It has received requests for copies from people like Bob Daisley, former bass player for Ozzy Osbourne, who was a friend of Bon, and also Vince Lovegrove who was a bandmate with Bon in The Valentines ( Vince introduced him to AC/DC). Susan Masino, published author of "Let There Be Rock" and Doug Thorncroft, President of the WA Bon Scott Fan Club both love the song and many of the 'cream of the crop' Aussie Legends who knew Bon say it's a 'ripper' that Bon would love.
