Revolver (If released, inspired by White Album thread)

[DookieMan]

Just wanted to share my thoughts on dreamscapes, difficulties, and other things of the songs in Revolver, inspired by the White Album thread. Feel free to put in your own ideas.

Eleanor Rigby

I'm guessing this to be similar to She's Leaving Home. Singing in the dark city would be a reflection of all the lonely people out there. I just don't picture the bright lights as seen in it. I picture this one to be darker. Also, songs always seem to make me think of a color, and this one is definitely brown. Maybe some brown in there...

Guitar and bass will be string instruments.

Guitar- 4
Vocals- 3
Bass- 3

I'm Only Sleeping

I'm not imagining much from this one. I think it will mostly be them in the studio with some effects. Maybe some colors/lines/whatever going along with the backwards guitar parts? I picture something a bit darker for this.

Guitar- 2
Drums- 1
Bass- 4
Vocals- 4

Love You To

This song reminds me of an adventure in a desert. I think the colors will be a sand-yellow and it will be reminiscent to a sandstorm, going along with the intensity of the song.

Sitar will of course be on guitar, and drums will be all those wacky percussion instruments. I honestly have no clue what bass would be.

Guitar- 5
Drums- 6
Bass- ?
Vocals- 2

Here, There, and Everywhere

Ah, I'm looking forward to this (possible) song probably the most out of this album. I picture this to be extremely simple and tranquil. It will be a bright, light white background. The Beatles will be playing very relaxed, often with their eyes closed. If my dreams come true, they'll be lying down in the air and drifting across the screen like angels.

Guitar- 0
Drums- 0
Bass- 0
Vocals- 4

She Said She Said

Well, this will probably be at Budokan as much as I want it to be a dreamscape. I'm looking at you, And Your Bird Can Sing. Anyway, I imagine this involving the color blue in some way. I don't know why. Anyway, yea, throw in some psychedelic motions and we're good to go.

Guitar- 5
Drums- 6
Bass- 2

Good Day Sunshine

I'm praying they have something for this... but this is what I imagine. The Beatles are standing on a dark hill, and the sun is rising as the deep piano plays. When it comes into full view, the screen flashes and they all start to sing. It won't be fully day just yet, but it will be like it is when the sun has first rose.

Piano will be charted to guitar. That will be one hell of a fun chart.

Guitar- 5
Drums- 3
Bass- 1
Vocals- 2

For No One

I'm not expecting much from this. It will probably mostly take place in the studio, maybe with some basic light brown color effects.

Piano and the french horn(?) will be played on guitar.

Guitar- 4
Drums- 0
Vocals- 3
Bass- 2

Doctor Robert

This will probably be at Budokan. It's one of those more fun sounding songs, like Taxman, and it is mostly the basic instruments. If it's a dreamscape, which I would just as gladly appreciate, I picture something pretty basic. I could picture some sort of background similar to Paul's part in A Day In The Life during the "well, well, well" parts.

Guitar- 5
Drums- 2
Vocals- 4
Bass- 3

I Want To Tell You

I could picture something similar to Fixing a Hole here. I think those wavy backgrounds would fit well with this song.

Piano will be charted to guitar for parts when there is no guitar.

Guitar- 5
Drums- 2
Vocals- 5
Bass- 5

Got To Get You Into My Life

I'm gonna borrow a post below mine's idea. I really think this song would fit well with the When I'm Sixty-Four/She Came In Through The Bathroom Window dreamscape. Maybe some extra color effects when they're necessary.

Guitar- 3
Drums- 5
Vocals- 5
Bass- 5

Tomorrow Never Knows

Let's just say I expect this to be the trippiest dreamscape ever. Like I said before, I associate songs with colors. I see this having a gold color often throughout. Complete with hundreds of kaleidoscope and reflection effects. Throw in some blurs, and some crazy dots and shapes and stuff during the "guitar solo". Oh yeah, another thing I liked about the WYWY/TNK on disc: The purple energy things floating around. Those were awesome. In general, throw in any random **** you want in here.

Most of those crazy sounds you hear will be charted to guitar.

[Kaeon]

I love this album. It is the perfect album by The Beatles, with the slight exception of Doctor Robert, which is a bit lacking. If this finally comes to the game after Rubber Soul, and they continue to release more albums, hopefully this will be one of the first!

Also, I believe Love You To is George's best sitar work. It's so amazing, I had not realized how great it was until my 10th listen through or so.

She Said She Said should have come with the game though, I wouldn't understand why.

[CyberKFox]

I'm Only Sleeping will most likely use the heavenly cloud-like dreamscare used for You Never Give Me Your Money on the Abbey Road Medley

Tomorrow Never Knows must have a kick ass trippy dreamscape, but if they want a fitting dreamscape... They should go for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmSlwT1xzus (Then again. Apple Corps. has little to no respect for the classic King Features cartoon)

[HotMangoChutney]

"Eleanor Rigby," "Love You To" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" will definitely be Abbey Road Studios/Dreamscape songs...but all the rest could go either way between there and Budokan (though because of the brass arrangement, "Got to Get You Into My Life" may end up in the studio as well, as could "For No One"; "Doctor Robert" will almost certainly be at Budokan).

Wow, the same thing happened to me. =3

"Here, There, and Everywhere" definitely has Bass, Drums, and Guitar good sir. I'd say 1 or 2 on drums and 2 or 3 for Bass and Guitar. I think that every song on Revolver has all four instruments except for Eleanor Rigby, they're just buried kind of deep in the mix sometimes. And I think putting any one of these songs in a venue instead of a Dreamscape would be a severely missed opportunity.

Revolver is hands down my Favorite Beatles album, and probably my favorite album album, so here's my two cents:

Eleanor Rigby: I agree with the OP. Browns and Greys using the city Backdrop from "She's Leaving Home". Solitary shots of Paul singing the Verse would add to the whole "loneliness" thing, and the rest of the Beatles should be wandering about morosely for the choruses. There are two different string parts, so Guitar will get one and Bass will get the other, and they'll both be 3 or 4 difficulty, about the same for singing. No drums.

I'm Only Sleeping: Blues and Greys and Purples and Browns etc. Probably lots of studio shots. Every instrument would be at least 3 or 4, maybe 5s for Guitar and Bass.

Love You To: Maybe the field from Dear Prudence, but now with autumn colors, although I also like the idea of a desert a lot. Probably another solo George dreamscape like "Within You Without You". Sitar and Tamboura would be 5 Guitar and 2 Bass respectively, and vocals would be 3 I guess while Drums would be 1 or 2.

Here There and Everywhere: Difficulties I said above, maybe for the Dreamscape you'd have them all against a brightly colored background swaying with their hands behind their backs like in "A Little Help From My Friends".

She Said She Said: 4s and 5s for every instrument. This is another Dreamscape where I could see the Lyrics appearing Jumbo sized behind the characters like in "All You Need Is Love". Lots and lots of crazy psychedelic coloring.

Good Day Sunshine: 2s or 3s for every instrument. Would probably take place in the field again, but it would also be cool if they had it in the "Getting Better" dreamscape and the Sun and Clouds appeared on the curtains around them.

For No One: Guitar would probably take horn, everything else would be normal and very easy. Somber colors, maybe even black and white with little bursts of color every now and then. Probably all in the studio, but would also work with Paul sitting under the tree from the "Here Comes The Sun" dreamscape and watching the sunset. I actually like that best...

Doctor Robert: 5 or 4 for guitar and Bass, 3 for Drums and Vocals. Constant quick shifts between black and white and autumn colors. It would be really cool if they could make this one take place in the streets outside Abbey Road, but it'll probably just be in the Studio.

I Want To Tell You: 4s or 5s for Guitar, Bass, and Drums. 3 for Vocals. Probably will use the Rainbowy thing from "Come Together" in between bouts of trippy studioness.

Got to Get You Into My Life: 5 for Vocals, 2 or 3 for everything else. The Stage from "When I'm 64" colored to look like they're all descending into hell during the chorus and heaven during the verse. Nuff Said.

Tomorrow Never Knows: No idea on the difficulties, probably pretty hard. The point is that this needs to be the best dreamscape in the entire game. Kaleidoscopes? Yes. Color Bursts? Yes. Space? Yes, the most space, all of the space. It needs to be as much of a sheer wtf feast for the eyes as it is for the ears.

So there are my thoughts on all of the tracks.

[Pectoralz]

Here's my idea I thought of last night!

Eleanor Rigby - Paul, John and George in the studio singing the intro, then it shows them walking around a dark, rainy city (Liverpool?) by cemetaries, churches and other places related to the lyrics while they sing, like She's Leaving Home.

Band : 4
Guitar : 4
Drums : No Part
Vocals : 4
Bass : 4

I'm Only Sleeping - This would be cool, a very surreal background with different colours and lights similar to Within You Without You, with some lyrics such as "float up stream" appearing in big letters waving up and down behind their heads.

Band : 4
Guitar : 5
Drums : 3
Vocals : 3
Bass : 3

Love You To - Psychedelic background with the band playing againts kalidescope like colour patterns, perhaps?

Band : 4
Guitar : 4
Drums : 1
Vocals : 3
Bass : 3

Here, There and Everywhere - A beautiful and moving dreamscape filled with flowers and bright colours, like Something, with beginning-of-sentance words like "Here" appearing as the sing in unison.

Band : 5
Guitar : 4
Drums : 2
Vocals : 5
Bass : 3

She Said She Said - Budokan.

Band : 5
Guitar : 6
Drums : 4
Vocals : 5
Bass : 3

Good Day Sunshine - A nice, summery dreamscape like Dear Prudence or Here Comes the Sun and them walking and playing along the beach and near big blooming trees.

Band : 4
Guitar : 4
Drums : 3
Vocals : 4
Bass : 3


For No One - Paul and Ringo in the studio with different effects, and such other colour-filled happenings (?)

Band : 4
Guitar : 4
Drums : 2
Vocals : 3
Bass : 2


Doctor Robert - Budokan.

Band : 5
Guitar : 5
Drums : 2
Vocals : 4
Bass : 2


I Want to Tell You - Budokan.

Band : 5
Guitar : 4
Drums : 3
Vocals : 5
Bass : 3


Got to Get You into My Life - Budokan. JUST BECAUSE IT HAS HORN ARRANGEMENTS DOSEN"T MEAN IT HAS TO BE A DREAMSCAPE.

Band : 5
Guitar : 4
Drums : 4
Vocals : 5
Bass : 3


Tomorrow Never Knows - A very surreal and abstract dreamscape with alot of different shapes, colours and trippy background effects.

Band : 5
Guitar : 5
Drums : 4
Vocals : 3
Bass : 3

Sound cool?
Please feel free to add more!

[DookieMan]

"Here, There, and Everywhere" definitely has Bass, Drums, and Guitar good sir. I'd say 1 or 2 on drums and 2 or 3 for Bass and Guitar.

0 does not mean nothing at all. 0 is just the lowest level of difficulty. Look at Yellow Submarine. It's technically a 0 on everything but bass.

[DookieMan]

Alright, I finished.

[l-o-t]

I do not think the Horns on Got to Get You Into My Life should be charted to guitar.
Listen very closely to the left speaker in the stereo mix of the song. There is definitely guitar all the way through. Just strumming chords but still... I'd rather play that for authenticity.

I'm having really trouble hearing that... are you sure you're not thinking about the keyboard?

[BeatleMath]

Here, There, and Everywhere:
should definitely be lying in a field or something like that, the most incredibly serene thing ever.
(Blue for me)

Got To Get You Into My Life:
Bright colors. (I see Gold)

Tomorrow Never Knows:
Make it like the crescendos in A Day In The Life. For the whole 3 minutes.(All Colors)

[MostSpartan14]

They is definitely guitar. Just last week I listened to the song with some really good headphones and noticed it for the first time.

There is guitar.

The only ones that could go either Budokan or dreamscape are "For No One" "Doctor Robert" "I Want to Tell You" and "Got to Get You into My Life"

Also, concerning Love You To, the only instruments are tabla, tambourine, sitar, guitar (though it's hard to hear), and tambura. The drums would have tabla and/or tambourine. The guitar would have sitar and/or guitar. The bass has very little options. The tambura is a drone, which would make one of the most boring bass charts.

What I would love to see is Lennon's disembodied head during the singing parts while the other guys are playing their parts. Sort of precariously looking over the other band members while singing his part. THAT would be creepy and epic.

Would never happen though. :)

(Which im thankful for)

[TheBeatleHead]

My idea for venues:

Budokan:
I Want To Tell You
Dr. Robert
She Said She Said

Dreamscapes:
Here, There, Everywhere
I'm Only Sleeping
Eleanor Rigby
Good Day Sunshine
For No One
Love You To
Got To Get You Into My Life
Tomorrow Never Knows

[DookieMan]

The only ones that could go either Budokan or dreamscape are "For No One" "Doctor Robert" "I Want to Tell You" and "Got to Get You into My Life"

I don't see For No One working live at all.

I can sort of hear the guitar in Got To Get You Into My Life. I will now change that.

[gamegyro56]

I don't see For No One working live at all.

I'm not saying there's a 50/50 chance, i'm just saying that they COULD do that. I would prefer it as a dreamscape.

[l-o-t]

I'm having really trouble hearing that... are you sure you're not thinking about the keyboard?

I'm quite sure it's guitar. It's got that jangly Rickenbacker sound to it. Very Beatley. It's quite low in the mix and I'm listening to the re-master which helps a lot. But it is definitely there.

edit: Also, She Said She Said needs a dreamscape IMO. That part at the end where John's vocals overlap would be impossible to do live. And it's a really psychedelic song that I think needs a big colourful accompaniment.

Yeah, I can hear the guitar now. And I agree with She Said She Said.
