Something tells me it'll get the AC/DC treatment.[/QUOTE]
Awesome - almost feel like waking my son up to tell him as he'll be super-excited. he played Band on the Run at Best Buy today on GHWT and was pretty thrilled with that. Real Beatles stuff would be SO much better
.
[quote name='evanft']Honestly, most Beatles songs are going to be pretty boring to play.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']boring? I can see what you mean, but I really doubt it... abbey road as well as some of their later work will be super awesome.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, awesome to listen to, awesome to play. You can't say While My Guitar Gently Weeps doesn't work as a great guitar song (yeah, sure it was Eric Clapton but still). Also, Revolution and Helter Skelter... Plenty of other stuff will be fun too - maybe not for hardcore guitar experts but for the rest of us. Frankly I can't stand listening to, let alone play, most of the guitar-heavy tracks in these games. And for bass players these will be some of the more interesting songs to play too. Granted, a lot of the #1 hits that everyone knows and comes to mind when they think of The Beatles may not work very well (e.g., Hey Jude) but there's plenty of lesser known stuff that would work for all 4 band members.
[quote name='talonthrawn']Beatles, awesome, but I agree I'd rather have the Led. Still waiting on Queen and Tom Petty as well. Beatles songs could be a little boring but I usually am the vocalist at my RB parties until everyone is drunk and they are awesome songs for vocals imho.[/QUOTE]
My son will KILL to be able to sing to Beatles songs. He does it every time we are in the car with his iPod. He also drums along on the back of the seat
.
[quote name='hhhdx4']Seriously, aside from the band aspect (and finding 4 other people interested in both rockband and the beatles) thats going to be one boring game.
GH wins with Metallica.[/QUOTE]
Wow - I couldn't disagree more. I was happy when that Metallica song didn't transfer from RB1. I was a teen during Metallica's heyday (as far as I remember
- I remember all the wannabe stoners at my school wearing their shirts in any case) and I couldn't name more than one damn thing they ever did. Yeah, there's that Sandman song that is sort of OK, but I can't name another song they ever did and they all sound the same to me when I hear them. Yet I can probably name nearly all the Beatles songs by album, in order
. This will be awesome... I agree Led Zep would be nice, too, but it pales to The Beatles.
The thing is, this announcement will probably be pretty disappointing in that it won't be for Rock Band 2 like the early reports are saying. They probably just threw that in because that's the current product. Hopefully it will be out within a year, but I wouldn't be surprised if it took longer. Hopefully, at least, they can tease us with a few DLC songs earlier.

Metallica's S/T album would be huge just because [highlight]everyone[/highlight] knows those songs.[/quote]
Just proved you wrong
. I don't even know what "S/T" is.
ing time.
