Paul DeGooyer, MTV’s senior vice president of home entertainment said:

"There are a couple of things we’ve committed to, one of them with Metallica for example. They’ve reserved the right to give us their first single from their new album for the game."

Playing (Rock Band) is really a new way to experience music at a time when music is at a substantial risk of becoming a lifestyle accessory. It really does let you climb inside the music you love and experience it in a new way. I think it has tremendous promise for the music industry," he added.
