Or to put it another way, the $millions up front was a ridiculous amount to pay any band to put their music in a video game. Sales were fine, but it was pure folly to think that they would sell enough to make any money on that game. It was pure ego stroking, nothing else.

...So?

If The Beatles agree to it, you don't say no.


Plus, the game pulled in $60 million in revenue in the US alone(EUROPE. THE BEATLES. EUROPE.) but I guess that doesn't count.

I can't find it anymore, but on benheck.com there was a hilarious cover pic for a Tom Jones Hero game w/Wiimote panty-throwing attachment. Yes, I'd buy that.

And if you're looking for an artist with enough hits, what about Yours Truly, Neil Diamond? :cool:

I would buy this just to throw panties

Band centric titles are good for ME (if they're Zappa, ELP, Pink Floyd, They Might Be Giants or a host of other favorite bands of MINE), but they are bad for HMX and bad for the RB community. Therefore I hope they steer clear of such projects.

I don't like Elvis Presley one bit, but if there was ever going to be someone with the clout of the Beatles for a(n) RB game "The King" would be it.

Of course The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd are also contenders, but as I posted already, such games (as desirable as they are for plenty of folks) wouldn't be good ideas.

If there ever was going to be a band centric Rock Band game again I would have to choose
1. U2 (because no songs in RB whatsoever, and I <3 Bono.
2. Rush (We have lots by them but they are my favorite band and they have a lot of more music that people know that aren't in the game. Time Stand Still, A Passage to Bangkok, Finding My Way, and More.
3. Genesis (same reasons as U2, and Phil Collins is awesome)
