Oh yes. Don’t tell me you didn’t see this coming - Guitar Hero and Rock Band are the ultimate “I think I’m cool” rock star simulators, and reality show producers can smell success from a mile away. That’s right kids, Rock Band is about to have its very own rock star moment (wow, that’s meta) with the upcoming VH1 classic series entitled Rock Band 2: The Stars. Destructoid has the scoop on the new series, which will star Alice Cooper, Sebastian Bach, and 12 contestants who will live in a Real World-y mansion and compete with one another for the grand prize. Six short episodes are planned for your viewing pleasure.

The grand prize? I guess that would be a spot on Rock Band Live tour and lifelong street cred among fake rockers. Whether you find that totally rad or deeply sad will depend on your opinion of Harmonix’ very successful party game.

You can’t make this stuff up, people. The show is slated to premiere October 15 on the VH1 classic channel and online at VH1. If you like shameless reality TV, this will probably be a feast for your eyes. Otherwise, you probably see this as another inevitable sign that the human race is doomed.
