Rock Band 2 to feature Turbonegro, Funcom announces

by James Ransom-Wiley on Jun 13th 2008 11:59AM

Yeah, you read that right: Funcom, the creators of the Age of Conan MMO. The Norway-based studio has name-dropped "Rock Band II," despite there being no official word of the sequel from the folks who develop, publish and distribute the Rock Band franchise. Joining the ranks of two consumer surveys and a Bo Diddley obituary as unofficial bearers of Rock Band 2 news is Funcom's press release for the Age of Conan soundtrack, which proudly touts fellow Norwegian deathpunk rockers Turbonegro (or "Turboneger" as they're known around Oslo) as feature acts on the disc, who, oh by the way, are also in "the game Rock Band II."

And did you hear? Bad Religion has also been linked to the Rock Band sequel. Guitarist-songwriter Brett Gurewitz hit his Twitter watchers with this message last month: "Seven meetings and four executive decisions later, back at Sound City putting the finishing touches on 'Sorrow' for Rock Band 2."

I want Lemmy Kilmister in Rock Band 2. Hard vocals =p

Jailbair would be fun to play.

Oh fuck yes!!!

Dark Shadows avatar = mad old-school props.

Thank you. You gotta respect the classics.

Oh my god! Turbonegro is amazing!

TURBONEGRO MUST BE DESTROYED I hope is in this game or Age of Pamparuis(also know as the Wildboyz theme.)

it would make only perfect sense to have you wailing out and screaming apocalypse dudes.

Amen brother.

LONG LIVE THE TURBOJUGEND!!! FUCK YA

Wow. That picture. Just wow.

Is it just me, or have we seen them somewhere before...

LMFAO, that was epic. +1 for you!!!!

I was thinking the exact same thing!!! LMFAO!!!

In other news Joystiq still has not removed that asshole humming bird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations you got the idea behind the photograph.

lol, what a great idea...

I know, let's emulate the Village People! Why? Because... um... because... um... what were we talking about again?

Rock Band the Original has only just come out here in the UK!
And there's rumours about Rock Band II!?

Us Brits are seriously deprived! =[

kinda like singstar 2 when the US just got vol 1

Come on, Rock Band, hit me with more goodies! Fugazi, some Floyd, Run DMC "Walk This Way", Led Zep. I say this all the time and they look the other way. :(

I agree with all of those besides Run DMC. There needs to be more Led Zeppelin in every rhythm based game.

You know it would be fun as hell to play Walk This Way! Singing, guitar and drums would all be fun.

Should that speed offend me? J/K

Did the Queer Eye guys make a band?

Blood on your back
Blood in your sac
Blood in your crack
Blood in your tracks
Much more blood than you could ever pay back

I LOVE Turbonegro!

Yeah...that's some real, um, poetry right there.

drenched in blood again.

The only, only, only, only thing I ask for in RB2, is that they make RB1 DLC COMPATIBLE.

Rock on. Don't expect trolls on a video game blog comment section to have any taste in music. Any chance F*** The World will be in Rock Band 2?

Haha I doubt it. I love the song and all but "Fuck the World" probably wouldn't pass the Rock Band's ESRB Teen rating.

Ooo. Sorrow is a great song for Rock Band. That's cool news.

I'm just excited for Bad Religion in Rock band. That shall be fun, but I kinda wish it was a different song than sorrow.

Totally - the more BR, the better. How much would it rock to have the entire Stranger than Fiction album as DLC?

That would kick ass! What would be a really good CD to have on there would be Smash from The Offspring.

The entirety of No Substance would rock my nuts

I DON'T NEED ANOTHER ROCK BAND GAME!

It hasn't even been 7 months, this is ridiculous.

Maybe they meant Rock Band too (as in also).

This is old and none of the sites I sent it to put it up, but there is an even better band that was announced for Rock Band 2 like a month ago:

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=96532

TESTAMENT, motherfuckers

anything from apocalypse dudes please!

Really hopin for Age of Pamparius.

The only song from Party Animals should be "If You see Kay...Tell Her I love her."

age of pamparius would be very good. I want to see the vocal note for the "woah a woah a woah" part in the beginning. I'd like to see prince of the rodeo, back to dungaree high...or basically anything. I'd pay 20 bucks for this whole album on rock band.

When did the Village People get back together?

Brett Gurewitz (and Epitaph) can suck a dick.

Turbonegro, on the other hand, is probably already doing that as we speak.

Now, where are your friends?

All my friends are dead.
