Okay okay. I promise (I think) that this is the last Rock Band post I'll do (for a while). Remember how when the Wii first came out everyone got their respective undergarments in a twist because of the wildly customizable Mii's? Imagine Mii's but with more cowbell and you've got the Rock Band rock star generator.
With a humongous range of hairstyles, outfits, shoes, accessories, and tattoos, each typically available in any color that you could possibly want, you can create really crazy looking rock star identities to serve as your virtual vehicle to Rockdom. While the form of the characters are relatively simple, their body structures maintaining a similar cartooney proportion to a lot of Jamie Hewlett's characters, the style and musical sensibility you want to evoke in your character has such a large range of possibilities. In other words, its a lot of fun.
Yesterday my friend told me he was working on a Phoenix Wright band and had already assembled an avatar that looked like Nick. I worked on a Noodle and 2-D from The Gorillaz today, but here are my two standard avatars:

There was this old game that I used to play on the classic mac where you had a band and you were responsible for tapping the keyboard at the right time with some sort of melodic results. My memory is fading fast though... I feel like it was called Jam Sessions but I can't remember! Ah!
