Paul McCartney on playing Rock Band

[Bront20]

This is awesome.

Reporter: Well, you’ve got my number now. Feel free to give me a ring if you’d ever like to jam in New York.

Paul McCartney: What do you play?

Reporter: I play the plastic guitar in Rock Band.

Paul McCartney: Oh, cool. I bet you’re better at it than I am. My grandkids always beat me at Rock Band. And I say, Listen, you may beat me at Rock Band, but I made the original records, so shut up.

I caught this interview last week and Sir Paul got a legit laugh out of me with that line. He's got a great sense of humor and was always a good sport about TB:RB.

He's got a great sense of humor and was always a good sport about TB:RB.

What's funny is that he's probably being serious about losing to his grandkids, while previous drumming experience may help you along in RockBand, "real" guitar players find the format somewhat difficult for it's a completely different "feel". Give me a six-string acoustic that's sort of in tune and I can play 'Dear Prudence' note for note like the album, but on The Beatles : RockBand? I fail miserably...:-)
