Harmonix and MTV announced today that the Jimi Hendrix song Are You Experienced will be song number 2,000 on the Rock Band platform when it releases October 26. Over 800 bands have contributed to the Rock Band lineup over the years.

“The success of our song downloads has afforded us the opportunity to approach Rock Band as an interactive music platform and reshape the way gamers think of expansion content,” said Paul DeGooyer, senior vice president of electronic games, music and programming for MTV Networks. “Our commitment to weekly releases, disc export, forward compatibility of downloads and the launch of the Rock Band Network were milestones in the development of Rock Band’s vibrant digital business.  Now, with the release of our 2,000th song, we are reaffirming our commitment to present new music every week and with the new features in Rock Band 3, there will be more ways than ever to experience it.”
