[quote name='Duckbutt']Did it say Beatles, or did it just flash artwork? I've seen several Rock Band ads on VH1/VH1 Classic/MTV since the Who DLC, and I've seen the new ones for Rock Band 2, but I never saw anything that would have lead me to believe the Beatles were coming to Rock Band 2. The Beatles would be one of the hardest if not the hardest bands to secure rights to. Last I heard, both games were trying to get the Beatles (among others like [highlight]Led Zep and Pink Floyd[/highlight]) but the people who own the rights are reluctant. And there is nothing official about the Beatles on the official Rock Band forums, where about 99% of Rock Band related annoucenments come from.[/QUOTE]
So the Beatles thing is clearly not true for now (though I'm sure as the EGM rumor page claims, they will show up somewhere somehow, eventually, in one of these games). My son was severely disappointed after reading that EGM rumor. He's 8 years old - 2010 is, like, a long way off for him
. He listens to nothing but The Beatles and their solo stuff (so Band on the Run in GHWT has him excited at least) on his iPod. We went and saw Ringo in concert this summer even. Now is the time to strike for my family, in any case
. By 2010 who knows what they'll be in to.
You know, just getting into these games myself for the first time besides the Beatles, obviously, the next 2 bands I thought of that are clearly missing are Pink Floyd and Led Zep... Comfortably Numb guitar solo...
Being a newbie to all of this, why are the latter two not part of it, at least? Especially with The Who stuff out there I'd expect these... Also, it seems like we ought to have more Stones tracks.
By the way, I edited the title a bit so as not to draw too many people in here thinking this was gonna happen.
