If you have been wondering if we’ll ever see Led Zeppelin songs in a video game such as Rock Band or Guitar Hero, the answer is NEVER!  Apparently Activision and MTV have tried to get LZ, and Jimmy Page turns them down every time.  It’s unfortunate, but I certainly respect their right as artists to control their music.

 

According to The Wall Street Journal, Jimmy Page, and his bandmates have repeatedly turned down offers from both Activision and MTV to use their tunes in either Rock Band or Guitar Hero music games. The band isn’t “comfortable with the prospect of granting outsiders access to its master tapes.”  ”It ain’t about the money,” says Led Zep manager Peter Mensch.

More interesting info from the Wall Street Journal: These bands are all in talks to have content included in music games (either Rock Band or Guitar Hero):

• Van Halen,
• the Eagles,
• Steely Dan
• Guns N’ Roses
