I’m not sure how I missed this last year, but VH1 produced a hilarious tongue-in-cheek mockumentary of a Rock Band .. band.

I’ve completed Rock Band several times — and we always get a laugh out of the absurd idea of a cover band somehow making it into the Rock & Roll hall of fame. Of course, the difference between reality and fantasy can be pretty severe; fake plastic rock is clearly no substitute for actual instruments.

The continuing saga of Rock Band Band, the greatest group ever to rock out on plastic instruments, can be viewed online at VH1:

Yes, I realize this is basically an extended commercial for Rock Band, but it’s actually pretty damn funny, with a ton of real musicians in cameo roles commenting on the history of the “band”, oddball references to key rock history moments, and Kurt Loder narrating it all.

• Act 1
• Act 2
• Act 3
• Act 4
• Act 5

Worth a look, if you’re a true fake plastic rocker.
