During the Microsoft press conference, Harmonix took the stage to talk about Rock Band 2, and they mentioned the track list for the game. Actually they showed the track list on the big screen.

I got a little excited yesterday by the news of Bikini Kill's "Rebel Girl" being included in the next iteration of Rock Band , even if the idea of reissuing a song via video game is probably something my 1993 self would have sneered at.

Lars Ulrich told the Associated Press that this was all part of Metallica's plan to reach the Hannah Montana demographic, who as recently as 18...
