Harmonix adds keyboard to Rock Band 3?

Would you like a keyboard with that 15-note streak?  It looks like Harmonix is trying to reshape the music game genre with the addition of a keyboard in Rock Band 3.  You can find the image in the newly released demo for Green Day: Rock Band.  At some point I’d imagine we’ll be having a full on concert in our living rooms including a saxophone, clarinet and tuba.

In other news, Activision was hard at work in meetings today forming their own intention of bringing the awesome cello to Guitar Hero.

    This will be cool. I don’t doubt it. I need more plastic crap in my tiny living room.

    Interesting. I might have to pick it up and give it a try. Could be fun. I am looking more towards Power Gig though.

    I have a feeling for those who have played piano (like me), it’ll be ridiculously easy.

    I’m sorry, I understand a lot of song use keyboard but I just don’t see how someone can ROCK a keyboard. After seeing Styx and watching Lawrence Gowan thrusting his old man crotch at the crowd. I came to realize I don’t think keyboards should be in Rock Band. I just see the plastic instrument looking like some Fisher Price toy with the colored keys. So Play, Laugh, Grow
