Of course it’s not quite straight forward as that, it involves some heavy lifting. The team has been ”continually impressed” with fan support.
Today’s ”update marks the beginning of open beta. Throughout the last few months, I’ve been continually impressed with all of your participation and cooperation. I deeply appreciate your patience, humour, intelligence and effort,” wrote Harmonix.
”I know that you will welcome all the new members with the same helpful attitude that has gotten us thus far. I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again: you guys should be proud of the community you have built,” they continued, reports Eurogamer.
It’s believed if this Rock Band Network takes off and proves profitable for bands and their labels, then a whole new industry could pop up offering unsigned talent the chance to get their lyrical pieces out to the Rock Band masses.

Think the Rock Band Network will help get talent noticed?
