I bet they had to agree to do another one of those stupid standalone Track Packs to land The Beatles, but still, Rock Band

the Beatles have some good songs, hopefully some of those accidentally make it into the agreement

I understand the fuss, but I can't see it being wildly successful. Although I thought GH Aerosmith would tank, so what do I know?

Wake me up when the Stones sign on.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #16 on:** October 29, 2008, 07:25:06 PM »

Yeah, Gently Weeps is a great pick. I could totally see that, Come Together, Something, I Want You (She's So Heavy), Birthday, Yer Blues, Everybody's Got Something to Hind Except for Me and My Monkey, Helter Skelter, Revolution, Taxman, She Said She Said, Getting Better, and Get Back.

There's plenty to choose, tbh.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #17 on:** October 29, 2008, 07:33:31 PM »

Thinking about this more (with help from jojo): this is a coup for the US, but an unbelievable coup for international markets. The Beatles are one of the very few bands with extremely strong international recognition on all fronts. So, this is an easy sell in Europe and Asia, too.

Secondly, it's a major coup from a licensing standpoint; I mean, they got THE BEATLES to sign, right? So Loser McFlashInThePan is gonna have a much harder time justifying staying out. There were very, very few holdouts remaining in the music game biz, but with this, it's 100% legitimized as a powerful market force for music. Harmonix and MTV have their platform. So that's great news.

Not going to happen while Page and Plant are alive. Activision and Harmonix both tried to get some Led Zeppelin earlier this year, but Page and Plant are totally adverse to releasing their master tracks.

Plant is also dragging his feet with the Zeppelin reunion. Rolling Stone has an article reporting the band is going to get another singer to join them on the road (confirming the rumors) since Page is too "busy" touring with Alison Krauss smh.

He's turning down money left and right. I'm sure he's already filthy rich but jeez, the money to be made touring and with Rock Band omg

You just have to wait for these guys to die so that their heirs will start licensing the shit out of them.

The (Wilson driven) Beach Boys

Pet Sounds is magic

Beatles are good and very important, innovative, etc, but I don't feel alot from most of their music. Might just be a case of overexposure though.

laesperanzapaz · « **Reply #58 on:** October 30, 2008, 12:19:55 AM »

some great/good beatles song that would fit RB:

Girl
Wanna hold your hand
I saw her standing there
Revolution
Stgt pepper
etc

shitty ones:
fixing a hole
Buffalow bill
heck, most songs from Sgt Pper/White Album/Abbey Road

patrickula · « **Reply #59 on:** October 30, 2008, 12:25:08 AM »

Off the top of my head, two later Beatles songs I love and which might work:

Happiness is a Warm Gun

I Want You (She's So Heavy)

(which would be too fucking long though)
