Exclusive video: Rock out with Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann of "As the World Turns"

A few weeks back I had to make a very tough decision: Do my regular As the World Turns liveblog ... or jam out with the show's Van Hansis (Luke Snyder) and Jake Silbermann (Noah Mayer) in the flesh. I know, I know, it's like Sophie's Choice. But I made the right decision, and I made it for you.

To promote the upcoming Rock the Soap cruise (where Van, Jake and a host of other soap stars will mingle with fans on a slow boat to Mexico) we invited the actors to the Rock Band studio to play some tunes, learn about the cruise and talk about what's near and now for their characters.

Strap in and rock this mother!
