Bootsy Collins May or May Not be Aware He's Signed On for BandFuse: Rock Legends

No press release quote, and it's not like he says anything in this trailer. I think someone may have just handed him a bass and started filming without telling him what it was for.

I fucking love Bootsy Collins. The lower-case "be" in the title of the video is driving me nuts though.

They're trying so hard to pretend Rocksmith doesn't exist I kinda feel bad for them.

Also, the library and the core game has improved a lot since the game came out. It's kind of the "real" real deal now.

Are you kidding? Bootsy and Zakk would be incredible together in a disturbing, nauseating kind of way.

Edit: This software looks terrible and the tracklist is horrible but if it has bass lessons with Bootsy Collins and guitar classes with Zakk Wylde then there must, MUST be out-takes from those sessions somewhere and that video would be worth $60.

I'm simply wishing real real hard this game is compatible with rocksmith's jack plug.

Because if it's not, there's no way I'm buying another super-expensive addapter.

That title font looks awfully suspect...it's a little too similar to Rock Band.

Well if Bootsy sues them in a few years, as is the way of these things, then we will know.

I have no fucking idea who Bootsy Collins is, but that's a rad hat.

Bass playing god in the P-funk collective of George Clinton (ie he played with Parliament & Funkadelic), as well as a member of James Brown's band in the 60s. If you listen to hip-hop then at some point you've heard his music sampled

Or, if still you don't know him, he's the star glassed guy in the video to Deee-lite's Groove is in the heart, and also the singer on Fatboy Slim's weapon of choice.

I am aware of who James Brown is. That's about as far as I get.

Don't forget Deee-Lite.

I'll be honest, I didn't like that when I was a kid. But hearing it now, it's pretty rad

I am pissed. I was led to believe this video featured a lot of Bootsy and was going hear him play bass. Instead I got bullshit and lame-ass rock.
