Yesterday we told you about Activision's upcoming Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, and showed off a few of our mad licks in the process (OK, the YouTube Guitar Hero community has since branded us noobs--no one's perfect). Not to be outdone by its primary competitor, Harmonix's Rock Band announced yesterday that it too would be jumping on the licensing bandwagon.

Hair-metal gods Motley Crue have become the first band to release a new single via the game. Users can download the group's new track, "Saints of Los Angeles," for 99 cents via the Xbox Live Marketplace. Beginning tomorrow, the track will also be available at PlayStation's store.

Rock Band will also be joining the Crue on its upcoming Crue Fest, alongside such bands as Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx: A.M., and Trapt. The Fest will be holding Rock Band competitions on stage between sets, which will almost certainly go swimmingly with a restless crowd that's waiting for roadies to set up Papa Roach's gear.
