Did you know that there is Christian music in Rock Band now?  yeah, yeah, I know Flyleaf was in RB1 and Kutless and UnderOath were hidden away in the 20-track bonus song download.  But none of those songs really say much spiritually.

Is it possible to enter into a worship mentality while clicking away on a plastic guitar with 5 buttons? I think so. I’ve done some play testing on the Rock Band Network and was testing out another guy’s song, “Wash Me” which was a worship song they did in their church (not sure what happened to that song … it seems to have disappeared). But I found myself really lifting up my soul as an offering to God … all while playing a video game.

Don’t forget, you can use Rock Band as a karaoke machine as well. Sing. You can turn down the song’s vocals (using the controller, hit Y to boost/cut the vocals), so you can only hear yourself.

I’d love to see the Christian music industry really jump on board with this thing. Think about it. Youth groups, hanging out jammin on plastic guitars to Relient-K, Skillet or Chris Tomlin! You could totally do an outreach to non-Christians by using a video game.

Mostly, I’d like to just have some music that I’m not concerned about what my kids are hearing!
