Bon Jovi has signed a deal to promote MTV’s Rock Band 3 post-release.

The band’s entire Greatest Hits collection, which hits shelves on November 9th, will be available as DLC for Rock Band. And the publisher has partnered with the group for promotional activity.

“Bon Jovi is undergoing all manner of promotional activities, including a tour. And we are partnering with them to help bring that to the masses,” MTV’s SVP of electronic games and music, Paul DeGooyer, told MCV.

“Bon Jovi for us is one of our most requested artists. We’ve had a couple of songs on disc, but we’ve never done a vertical campaign like this with them.

“We are working with Bon Jovi on activity for the compilation and other elements that they haven’t announced yet.”

Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora told MCV: “The great thing about Rock Band is it gets music to a whole new generation of people, which is totally amazing to me.”

MTV’s download catalogue will reach 2,000 songs next week. The firm says it sells hundreds of thousands of songs per week.

Rock Band 3 is out on October 29th on Wii, PS3 and 360. It will be published by EA.

No word on if it's the 1-disc or 2-disc version, but F**K YES. I've wanted more Bon Jovi in Rock Band since forever, and with Rock Band 3 introducing keyboards and vocal harmonies you'll be able to play (and sing) every band member's part

Hopefully they'll also update Prayer, Bad Name and Wanted (which are already in RB) with keyboard parts.

And with Pro Mode Keyboard I might actually finally learn how to play Always on the piano. AWESOME.

Was completely on the fence about getting this, but now it's definite. I can't wait now!

What Do You Got and Make a Memory fit perfectly (?)

Best regards,

Wait, will this allow us to rip apart the master tracks as was done for Wanted or was that for a different game?

Possibly - I know it was done for Prayer and Bad Name (which I ripped myself from Guitar Hero to get the extended endings). Only thing is, all the Bon Jovi songs so far have been on-disc; I don't know if it's possible to do it with downloadable content.

Ohhhh damn. I'd LOVE to be able to hear some of these songs track by track. The piano in Always especially.

Message from one of the Rock Band developers:

Yep, Bon Jovi will be returning as DLC post RB3 launch! Confirmed!

Don't expect a huge multi disc album release though, as the Surgeon General has determined that anything more than 12 tracks of Bon Jovi in a single pack could contain potentially dangerous levels of swoon when downloaded by women, and result in deadly amounts of "good hair envy" in men.

Awesome quote, but sadly it means we're only getting the 1-disc release. Which is a shame, because I'd much rather play Blood on Blood and These Days than Make a Memory or What Do You Got. But oh well, 12 songs is still amazing

Source? Because if true this is fantastic.

No source. I myself talked to the big guns upstairs and MADE THEM DO IT.
