If it was Guitar Hero: The Beatles...

[theINC]

If Apple Corps had gone down the long and horrible road, and got Activision to make the Beatles game, how would the game be different?

For one, it would be called Guitar Hero: The Beatles, because no-one upstages Guitar Hero.
We would have Let It Be, Lady Madonna, and Penny Lane, but piano would be charted to guitar.
There would be about 3 different animations for Ringo: rock beat, drum fill, and sitting still.
We would have a ridiculous number of bands influenced by The Beatles: uhh, hell yeah, Weezer, Oasis, The Kaiser Chiefs?
There wouldn't be dreamscapes - it would just imagine that they never stopped playing live.
Or, story mode would be like the horrible career of Guitar Hero Metallica, where you are Metallica's opening act, then you suddenly turn into Metallica.

Serious and humorous answers accepted.

[soup567]

if activision did do it i dont think oasis would be on it because they said they're better than the bealtes, i know they are crazy. im really glad HMX developed it.

[OakTea]

Where Harmonix charts 2 note chords, three note chords will be in Guitar Hero.
Where there's a 3 note chord, GH would have a four note chord.
The end of every song with a notable chord will have a five note chord.

It would be compatible with double bass, and double bass would be charted.

A fraction of the songs would probably be exportable. :p

There would be girls singing along to Hey Jude in their underwear holding Guitar Hero instruments in the commercial for Guitar Hero: The Beatles.

[Sunsetguy]

It would suck so bad I would cry.

[bradylicious9]

it would add to the, what? 4 games they're already releasing this fall?

[foolosophy]

The opening chord to A Hard Day's Night would be a five note chord, for every instrument (yes, even drums).

[chrth_rb]

Medium wouldn't be so painfully undercharted

[Sunsetguy]

the opening chord to a hard day's night would be a five note chord, for every instrument (yes, even drums).

o_o! On drums!

[BLARGCOW]

Paul would sing lead on every song.

[Daytripped]

The opening chord to A Hard Day's Night would be a five note chord, for every instrument (yes, even drums).

I loll'd.

[I_Use_Shamwows]

o_o! On drums!

Oh just hit all the buttons at once, and then the kickpedal.......not that hard.....right?

[Shenaynay]

GH: The Beatles wouldn't be so bad, they'd probably work hard and get mo-cap of the remaining two musicians, and they'd probably go with the best places that they played, and once they got to the point where they stopped touring, they'd probably make up a venue as a reunion type thing or something. Plus, the different faceoff modes would be pretty fun, amd you'd have a GH game where you aren't facing people online who want to play TTFAF(or songs of a similar difficulty) all the time.

[Sunsetguy]

Oh just hit all the buttons at once, and then the kickpedal.......not that hard.....right?

you either got to be really fast, or I gotta grow extra limbs. :p

[theINC]

Medium wouldn't be so painfully undercharted

This is true to some extent.
Till this year I had only played Guitar Hero games. Guitar Hero 3 on medium isn't too bad - playing that game on expert is not even fun. Guitar Hero World Tour really dropped the difficulty down a fair bit, I'm able to play most songs on guitar on hard or expert, but the charting isn't very fun on some songs - they over use synthesiser lines and such, and that slider solo tapping pad or whatever they call it? Useless compared to the solo buttons on the Rock Band guitar.

I'm playing through Rock Band 1 (yes! stupid Australia!) and the expert charting is quite simple even compared to GH:WT. I can fail songs though, and I usually only get 3 or 4 stars, so I still have a fair room to improve.

[chrth_rb]

you either got to be really fast, or I gotta grow extra limbs. :p

Depends on which drums you have. If you have the RB drums, you can easily drop the sticks on all 4 pads simultaneously. GH drums, however, would be impossible, unless you had a 3rd stick in your mouth.

[ktmason]

Are you guys KIDDING???

There would be BOSS battles!! The LAST one being against YOKO ONO for your SOUL!!!

[theINC]

Paul would sing lead on every song.

I don't think harmony vocals would have been in GH:TB. They would just take the Guitar Hero 5 engine and slap in some Beatles-related miscellanea.

Guitar Hero was a step ahead of Rock Band in that it was the first to feature guest musicians who play guitar/bass and sing at the same time - in Aerosmith (but extremely shoddy in that game), in World Tour (Sting, Ted Nugent and Zakk Wylde or whatever their names are), and in Metallica.

However, the animations for singing guitarists (guitaring singers?) in TB:RB are much better, plus they've got a singing/drumming Ringo in a few songs.

[ArchangelZero]

Out of all due respect, Oasis would make sense

[theINC]

Bahahahahhaha.

[Dragon11]

Hit two buttons with each stick. And, if you're on the World Tour set the blue one with your head.

On-Topic:

You would be to replace Beatles with your own character. And yeah, the "influenced bands" would be every band after the Beatles.

[PCTraitor]

It would be GHWT with a Beatles skin on it like GH Metallica was. You'd get only 21ish Beatle songs and John Lennon would dance around like Ozzy. The rest of the disc would be filled out by songs from the following artists. The BeeGees, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, The Beach Boys, Joe Cocker, Peter Frampton, Steve Martin's version of Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Billy Preston, Coldplay, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, The Rolling Stones, The Yard Birds, Olivia Newton John, Oasis, Bruce Springstein, Motorhead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Dillon, Tom Petty and Aerosmith.

The Beatles songs you would get would be While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Helter Skelter, Twist and Shout, Hey Jude, Let it Be, Strawberry Fields, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, With a Little Help from My friends, Come Together (duplicated by Aerosmith), Help, Hard Days Night, Good Day Sunshine, Ticket to Ride, Something, She's So Heavy, The Magical Mystery Tour, Good Day Sunshine, Back in the U.S.S.R., Yesterday, and Here Comes the Sun. With no possiblity of DLC

They do take a huge influence from The Beatles without a doubt (With A Little Help From My Friends vs She's Electric is my favourite comparison, I love both songs but the influence is blatantly obvious), but I think in this game Harmonix had the right idea to focus only on the Beatles - it wouldn't make sense for someone to open a Beatles show with an Oasis song... unlike Metallica and Aerosmith where the members are still alive today, you would have to incorporate some kind of weird time-travel function in the story mode if you wanted to include bands after 1980, when John Lennon was shot - you could have hypothetically had a Beatles reunion before then.

[I_Use_Shamwows]

Oh **** you, I nearly spat out my tea from laughing so hard reading that.

[PCTraitor]

I don't think harmony vocals would have been in GH:TB. They would just take the Guitar Hero 5 engine and slap in some Beatles-related miscellanea..

Definitely no harmonies. They haven't even got single vocals working right. You would also be able to make your own character and put any of the Beatles on any instrument you want and have 4 drummers, 4 guitars or whatever. Yeah you could have 4 vocals, but it's only the lead.

[Skittles]

Paul and Ringo would be old, George and John would be well in their prime
lets not forget the guest bands!
Foo Fighters, Queen, Judas Priest, Weezer, Blink 182, The Killers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Muse, Oasis, Twisted Sister and MORE...

Steve Martin as a guest character!

[FloydPink]

At the end of a show at the Ed Sullivan Theater, flames would should out of the side of the stage, John would crowd dive, George would smash his guitar to bits and throw up the devil horns, Ringo would be busting out a drum solo, and Paul would bang a chick right there on stage. They'd all also have a blue aura of lightning around them.

Well, at least you could have Paul playing bass, guitar, singing, AND drumming on Back In The USSR ;)

[PCTraitor]

Honestly, I would still buy that game.

I was trying to give an honest answer not just sarcastic. Well adding Motorhead was sarcastic, but there would be some new band that claims to like the Beatles in their place. It would all happen on a stage though I don't think they would put out the effort to do anything like the dreamscapes. Maybe at the most you'd get a recreation of the cavern and/or the roof but you would be able to put your punk rock character with a mo-hawk in there with them.

[Skittles]

oh gawd xD

[centaur_star]

People would look at the character models and say "Paul is dead."

[theINC]

Not as sarcastic as you might think - The Beatles did perform the first two metal songs, both during the White Album recording - Helter Skelter and Revolution.

Revolution is less obvious in its influence on metal music, but it's the over-the-top guitar distortion, screaming, and compressed drums that give it away.

That's true, but even if they were doing that, I'd bet we'd still flock over to the GH Forums. Why? Because it's the Beatles.

[Dragon11]

I nearly forgot. The Beatles would look the same the whole game.

[chrth_rb]

Why are we assuming that the "shareholders" would have less/no input on an Activision version?

[Oddbrother]

Expert+ Drums
Slider bar for Guitarist
Open notes for bassist
The only thing different is still the harmony vocals. What a boring counterpart.

[PCTraitor]

That's true, but even if they were doing that, I'd bet we'd still flock over to the GH Forums. Why? Because it's the Beatles.

I would begrudgingly buy the game too if there was a promise of no other Beatles in Rock Band. I would probably not like it, play through it then sell it a few months later.

[MrOwn1]

I could totally imagine this.

what..

[dark_quota]

I think it would be at least authentic since Paul and Ringo would make sure of it.

I'd believe that Revolution was more proto-hard rock while Helter Skelter was protometal and protopunk.

I would actually really like to see that.

[xXjAmEZXx]

there would be no dlc

[Meatwad555]

:eek:

[theINC]

To me metal is just an extension of hard rock, and punk is like hard rock, more aggressive, less technical skill

[xXZeroOverrideXx]

No DLC and Paul would be a righty. Drum fills every section there is no drums, and also Michael Jackson and The Bee Gee's as playable characters. (No, seriously)

[OakTea]

If it was Guitar Hero: The Beatles, I probably wouldn't be interested in the game, based on the previous Guitar Hero band games.
Songs from guest bands, creating band members and such would turn me away from The Beatles game.

I'm someone who's looking to learn more about The Beatles. I was not a fan of their music before this game was announced and I started listening to their songs.

I like Metallica's music, and thus I was interested in GH:Metallica, but that's because I'd want to play their songs. Not because I'd want to learn more about them.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

At least Guitar Hero would put in Strawberry Fields Forever >.>

[MrFruitLord]

Ringo would have "intense" double bass.

[Apples]

The game never would have gotten launched. Paul and Yoko would have personally fired the art team.

Graphically GH is a polar opposite from how this project looks.

[mva5580]

That's what i was going to say, more or less.

Guitar Hero, in my opinion at least, looks absolutely horrible. The "artistic" direction on it is a joke. I've seen the videos from GH5 and I honestly think it looks like a PS2 game. At best. If that's how they would have attempted to re-create The Beatles, it wouldn't have happened. Would've been a polite "thanks but no thanks" from the shareholders.

Consider that as good as the visuals are in TB:RB, that the shareholders were still critical of how George originally looked.

I can't even imagine their reactions if the fab 4 were GH3-ified.

[theINC]

I will be buying Guitar Hero 5, solely for its music - it's got Plug-in Baby by Muse and a lot of other favourite songs of mine.
However, the graphics and animations look absolutely horrible. Matt Bellamy, frontman of Muse, is in the game, and his mouth looks out of joint, ridiculously wide. Guitarists seem to strum at the bottom of the neck, not on the pickguard.
And don't get me started on Kurt Cobain. You can Youtube that one for yourself, I don't want to make you cry.

WTF? On Nirvana songs Kurt is lefty, but on other songs he's righty????
And whoever did mo-cap for him should be thrown in a ditch. Fake Kurt
doesn't have any stage prescence.

Off topic rant finished.
Wait...
Wait...
OK I'm done.

[Wave57]

It would fail.
nuff said

[mva5580]

The true crime in the whole thing is that it wouldn't be nearly as good of a game but would probably sell more due to the Guitar Hero name recognition.

[DookieMan]

1. We'd have no harmonies.

2. No DLC.

3. Crap from other bands would get in the way of the Beatles, like Oasis, Weezer, Bob Dylan, and Aerosmith.

4. Because Guitar Hero is all about going against the traditions of a 4 man band of different instruments, as seen in their party play, you can mix and match the Beatles with whatever instruments and/or combinations you want. So, we can all be excited to see all four playing the exact same notes on a bass!

5. Playable characters would include...
Paul McCartney
John Lennon
Ringo Starr
George Harrison
Eric Clapton
Throw in Yoko Ono for the hell of it
Bob Dylan
Billy Corgan (reuse the GHWT model for the hell of it)
The righty, headbanging Kurt Cobain copied right from GH5
William Shatner, joining the Beatles on Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1Ar79f8aN8)

6. All four Beatles will be old men throughout the game.

[PCTraitor]

At least Guitar Hero would put in Strawberry Fields Forever >.>

I think they would to because it's a very popular Beatles song, and they go for popularity over playability more than HMX does. I love Strawberry field's but it isn't the best for this type of game. Harmonix will put it in as DLC, but I can see why they left it off the disc.

I think "Strawberry Fields Forever" is fairly usable for the game; they managed "I am the Walrus" despite that song having no discernable guitar part and in terms of game play being saddled with (presumably) fairly uninteresting drum work. Strawberry Fields at least has a great drum track.

[rad5brandon]

Activision meeting
"Good news guys, we talked to some of the higher ups at Apple Corps, and they decided to let us use the Beatles Remastered catalogue for a new Band Game!"


*Black hole appears

[nascarfan19]

Activision would stuff it full of every song on every album with the songs nobody actually listens to and then they'll overchart them and still get more customers :D

ps. not dissing HMX that everyone else seems to like Guitar Hero more :(

[sonicnerd23]

The commercial would feature Beatles lookalikes in pajamas sliding onto the Abbey Road crosswalk with plastic instruments and then playing them... all set to Risky Business.

[jonoo24]

I <3 how all the GH people come in here and are like "It would be no diferent!" or "Better!" and everyone just ignores them

[NormanCoxwell]

The creation of the thread, a dickish move. However you have to admit it would be done in like 3 monthes and come out like Aerosmith or Metallica if it was GH.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Harmonix did the same thing with I Am the Walrus.

[woodwindpizza]

There would be a walrus onstage during I Am the Walrus, just like how Ted Nugent (I think) rides a bull onstage in GHWT.

:p

[NormanCoxwell]

even though they're totally unrelated bands, i would really like that combo. though i know it won't happen, that'd be the best of it all.

[Cheezeeatr]

Reading through this whole thread and not seeing any mention of GH's oversized mouths on their models. Just imagine it, being able to fit an amp inside Pauls' mouth when he sings.

Those always remind me of those honeycomb commercials.

[gamegyro56]

They'd have every song that has piano/violin etc and chart it ALL to guitar just for "fun."

In their commercial, they'd have people that look nothing like The Beatles.

They'd have it so no one except John sings on every song. And John only sings, no guitar (so they have bass, guitar, drums, vocals)

They'd call it Guitar Hero>The Beatles.

[jr174200]

I would still begrudgingly buy it.

[ylowbstard]

Haha... WIN!

[Ramirez16]

Not as sarcastic as you might think - The Beatles did perform the first two metal songs, both during the White Album recording - Helter Skelter and Revolution.According to John they did the first ever which was Ticket to Ride

[HeyRiles]

There would be much less Beatles songs used, there would be a bunch of 'related' acts, none of the Beatles would age, just as most everyone has already said

To add - their mouths would be much too big, and they would be using guitar straps

[iAmtheWalrus]

Paul would sing lead on every song.

Lol'd. So true.

And The Beatles really don't... fit Guitar Hero. I always view it as a more heavier rock/metal game, even though I know it isn't. Just seems more for bands like Dragonforce and stuff >.>

[ktmason]

Hey, and lets not forget we could not buy the Band Kit for three months cause everything would BREAK!!

[rockfresh126]

Let's not forget it would be given out for free and therefore will be rushed out not have any effort put into it, in order to support Guitar Hero 75.....which also will be rushed out and not have any effort put into it.

[juan29zapata]

We wouldn't have that great openning (and most possible ending) cinematic, and the TV ad wwould've just been terrible, with bad doubles of the Band. We should feel very lucky that Dhani talked with MTV's president and not Activision's.

[Beatles Beatnik]

Consider that as good as the visuals are in TB:RB, that the shareholders were still critical of how George originally looked.

I think his head was too big. Thank God that the designers weren't lazy, and fixed it. George looks awsome

Isn't GH 75 due out Christmas? Oh, sorry, thats GH:VH isnt it? or Band Hero, Or DJ Hero, Or Hand.......never mind

[Taxman999253]

Haha, the box art would look like this:

[bek_____2]

I'd believe that Revolution was more proto-hard rock while Helter Skelter was protometal and protopunk.

I'm not an expert, but I think hard rock was already developed by that time, so it can't really be proto-hard rock.

[dalcyte]

Are you guys KIDDING???

There would be BOSS battles!! The LAST one being against YOKO ONO for your SOUL!!!

YES. AND THE FIRST BOSS BATTLE WOULD BE BUCKETEAD AND SLASH VS. GEORGE HARRISON BECAUSE IN GUITAR HERO WE LIKE TO RAWWKKKK AHH YEAHHhh

[Cataclysmo]

YES. AND THE FIRST BOSS BATTLE WOULD BE BUCKETEAD AND SLASH VS. GEORGE HARRISON BECAUSE IN GUITAR HERO WE LIKE TO RAWWKKKK AHH YEAHHhh

OOOOOF YEAH FC REVULOTION 9 ON MEDIUM 10000 NOTE STREAK OOOOOFFFFFFFHHHGGHHH


yeah

[rockfresh126]

And as we all know, the GH: Beatles would be just as awesome as GH 4's was.

Here's a breakdown of the month of October......

Week 1: Revolution 9, Gnik Nus (Love album), Etcetera (unreleased single)
Week 2: Helter Skelter (because it'd already been released through Rock Band a year ago), Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand (The german version of I Want to Hold Your Hand from Past Masters Vol.1), and Tori Amos's cover of Something.
Week 3: Fall Out Boy's new single, and a song off the soon to be released GH: Oingo Boingo
Week 4: Nothing

[Skittles]

We wouldn't have that great openning (and most possible ending) cinematic, and the TV ad wwould've just been terrible, with bad doubles of the Band. We should feel very lucky that Dhani talked with MTV's president and not Activision's.
oh god John, Paul, George and Ringo doing that Tom Cruise dance from Risky Business?!

[TheRocker]

If Guitar Hero: Beatles we would see this..

1.Beatles along with Metallica,Megadeath, (insert 20 more metal bands)

3.Yoko is a playable character

4. More of Activision's lame cartoony "cutscenes"

Sigh....Playing the demo at gamestop i hear some ******s saying hey is that the new guitar hero the beatles. so for somepeople they would be asking i wonder how it would be for rockband...

Interesting responses.

The most cringeworthy decision, I think, would be if they included cover versions of the Beatles' songs as the non-Beatles tracks. Across The Universe *shudders at autotune*

We would have "over 20 guest acts" doing cover versions of Beatles songs, and 4 of them would be the same song from 7 different artists. We would also have the original Beatles versions of these covers.

All of it would be spread out over 12 versions...1 version for each album in the catalog, with a 13th one dedicated to the singles. So if you wanted to play "A Hard Day's Night" back to back with "Eight Days a Week" then follow it up with "Here Comes the Sun" and close out your set with "Revolution", you're SOL...

Oh, and if you want DLC, forget it...:D

Activision wouldn't do it because they think The Beatles would suck for the series.

Maybe they would put in a drum slider on the drum kit too...
