They are taking the piss... unless they are coming out with a banjo instrument instead of guitar.
Couldnt see their guitar solos being anything too hard for RB or GH, unless its beginner mode :P

Why would they be taking the piss. There are a few great comedy acts in RB including a full album of the most famous of all spinal tap.

I hope like hell it is true as it will mark the first kiwi tracks in a rythym game ever.

And because there awesome

Because Beatles RB has been getting so much press lately you would swear Paris Hilton was involved. But I doubt it was a dig at that. Would be cool to see two blokes from Wellywood, NZ in Rock Band though.

Rock band (unlike GH) encompasses a huge range of great music from the stretched at times 'rock' genre. The fact that there is no epic guitar antics would in know way make this pointless, most people don't care about difficulty as they don't play expert anyway and singing will always be the high point of the tracks.
