Just in case the thing that prevented you from buying <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/rocksmith"><em>Rocksmith</em></a> on Steam was the lack of Maroon 5 songs, we'll just remove that musical obstacle for you right here and now. <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/news/10609/">Valve reports</a> that "Misery," "She Will Be Loved," and "Harder to Breathe" have all been added to the game.<br />
<br />
You can buy each song for $2.99, or pick them all up together for $7.99. Once purchased, you can play through the songs with a standard electric or bass guitar, and each song also adds a new authentic tone to play with on the game's Amp mode. Sweet Maroon 5-style haircuts are, unfortunately, sold separately.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/14/finally-those-maroon-5-songs-you-wanted-are-available-in-rocksm/">Finally, those Maroon 5 songs you wanted are available in Rocksmith</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 14 May 2013 23:15:00 EST.

Adam Levine, lead singer of Maroon 5 (your little sister's favorite band three years ago), is suing Activision for inappropriately using his likeness in 2009's<em> Band Hero,</em> according to a suit found by <a href="http://www.thewrap.com/music/article/voice-coach-adam-levine-sues-over-band-hero-videogame-29803">The Wrap</a>. Levine performed motion capture to have his avatar used in the <em>Band Hero</em> song "She Will Be Loved," but didn't give Activision permission to use his likeness with other songs, which it totally did. Levine alleges that Activision asked other artists for expanded use of their avatars and paid them more in the process.<br />
<br />
Activision is no stranger to lawsuits like Levine's, losing a similar case to <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/18/no-doubts-activision-lawsuit-can-go-to-the-next-level/">No Doubt</a> in 2010 (Talk about jumping on the <em>Band</em>wagon late).<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/05/maroon-5-singer-sues-activision-over-use-of-likeness-in-band-her/">Maroon 5 singer sues Activision over use of likeness in Band Hero</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 05 Aug 2011 17:00:00 EST.
