As we got situated with the Rock Band setup, Patton quipped, “I already know how to sing, I want to learn something new,” and picked up one of the guitars. For this first gig, I decided to use Rock Band’s super-gentle learning curve, and put Patton on easy bass while I did medium drums and his manager, Werckman, eased in with easy guitar for Weezer’s “Say It Ain’t So.”
Mike Patton is to appear on another game, Turtle Rock Studio’s (now owned by Valve, creators of the Half Life series, Steam and the Source engine) multiplayer co-operative survival horror, Left 4 Dead. Based on the Source Engine, the game teams 4 players up against a horde of infected zombies.
