With the much anticipated Rock Band 2 about to hit retail (for Xbox 360), a new Craigslist ad (found by Variety) has revealed that MTV is looking for people to compete in Rock Band as part of a new reality TV show from Mark Burnett, who created Survivor, The Apprentice and other hit shows.
The listing in the TV/film/video gigs category says "MTV's official Rock Band 2 show!!!" and calls for "four people to form their own band and show us their stuff live on stage for the chance to win the Ultimate Rock Band Experience."
Participants have to be 18 years old or above and live near southern California. No music or Rock Band experience is required, MTV said. We've pinged MTV for official word beyond the listing, but have not heard back yet.

Oh god. MTV is bad enough right now, there is no real music t.v on music television, why mess up again by making a Rock Band reality show? Don't we have enough of those, now? Maybe I'm just old, 20, but I remember when MTV played videos almost the entire day, now it's just Hills and Date My Mom and a bunch of spoiled kids planning birthdays. Oh, well. For people who love reality shows, I don't blame you because they are usually full of 'action' and 'drama', but it is getting a little old.
