Speaking to Billboard, the singer said: โ€œThey [MTV Games / Harmonix] felt the record-based on the nature and complexity of the depth of instrumentation-deserved a bit more attention and some more involved elements than theyโ€™ve generally dealt with. I have no idea what that means but itโ€™s my understanding they were very enthusiastic.โ€

Other artists available to play on the โ€˜virtualโ€™ band game on Playstation 3 and XBox consoles include Grateful Dead, AC/DC and Thin Lizzy.
