The new "Rock Band 2" music video game pays homage to BO DIDDLEY by featuring his Gretsch G6138 "Bo Diddley" and Gretsch G6199 "Billy-Bo" Jupiter Thunderbird artist signature model guitars.
The Gretsch G6138 "Bo Diddley" is a faithful reproduction of the iconic rectangle-shaped guitar Gretsch built for BO DIDDLEY in 1958.
The Gretsch G6199 "Billy-Bo" Jupiter Thunderbird is a 21st Century version of the guitar originally designed by BO DIDDLEY in 1959 and adapted by ZZ Top guitarist Billy F Gibbons.
"Rock Band 2" is a music video game developed by Harmonix Music Systems and published by MTV Games as the sequel to the popular "Rock Band" video game. The "Rock Band 2" game software for the Xbox 360 platform is now available, with versions of the game for the Wii, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 platforms released later in 2008.
The "Rock Band" games allow players to perform in virtual bands by providing up to four players with the ability to play three different peripherals modeled after musical instruments. These peripherals are used to simulate the playing of rock music by hitting scrolling notes on-screen. The game offers single-player and multiplayer gameplay for lead guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals, allowing for any combination of parts to play as a band.
