Jack White's U-Turn on Guitar Video Games

"The White Stripes and singles from The Damned and Kasabian will be added next week to the Rock Band Music Store" says the blurb.

And this is what Jack White of the White Stripes said in June:
"It's depressing to have a label come and tell you that ['Guitar Hero'] is how kids are learning about music and experiencing music."

This is because, he didn't want to dictate which "format people should get their music in…if you have to be in a video game to get in front of them, that's a little sad."

So, The White Stripes Pack 01 for Rock Band has Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground, Girl, You Have No Faith in Medicine, and Icky Thump. Can anybody say, "Kerching!"

The Damned's track is Smash It Up (Part 2), while Kasabian, unsurprisingly, brings Club Foot to the party.

Available on Xbox 360 and Wii on November 10th and PlayStation 3 on November 12th.
