• When it comes to releasing new music nowadays, competition for exposure has been one of the hardest hurdles to face. Having a song released on the radio or music TV simply isn't enough anymore. With that in mind, the next era of music exposure has finally been met, premiering and selling a new song single in a.... video game! 80's rock icons Motley Crue is releasing a new album this year, and I wouldn't even have known that, if it wasn't for the fact that they just released one of their new songs for sale; "Saints Of Los Angeles", in the video game "Rock Band." That's right, their new song showed up in a video game before radio, music TV, or even in concert. More rock icons are even following suit, with Def Leppard debuting a new single in Guitar Hero III, and Metallica doing the same with Rock Band sometime in the near future. I personally think this is a great idea, and I went ahead and showed my support by downloading that Motley Crue song for $1. The song itself is decent and probably not enough for me to buy the upcoming album, however it's relatively fun to play in the video game, so not bad indeed.
