    Well, I think the Pixies made great music, as well as being highly influential.

    Back to the Beatles thing, I think there is definitely enough material to fill a game. By far, the biggest problem is the guitar, although I would not be the least bit opposed to them charting piano/synth/organ/sitar, or whatever else. In fact, I pretty much expect sitar to be charted.

    What I'm concerned about is the masters. I had no idea stuff before The White Album was usable... but they did get Roy Orbison. Of course, I do believe their later stuff work better, but Twist and Shout, Hard Days Night, Revolution, Taxman, and many other pre-white album songs are pretty much essential.

    The drums will actually be fun, I believe. About on the level of AC/DC. Ringo just mostly keeps the beat, but he will throw in a fill or two. Bass should be pretty fun, and vocals are a no brainer. Guitar could be a bit stale on the majority, but they do have the option of charting other things.

    I guess it's the polar opposite of Guitar Hero Metallica, then. The Beatles will be an all around easy game, not counting vocals (I can see songs like Yer Blues being absolute nightmares on vocals... the pitch changes constantly. Think Bob Dylan)... Metallica will have a pretty ridiculous difficulty curve.

    Metallica has never been anything close to extreme metal. Extreme metal is stuff like death and black metal.
    Would you pay for music by Beck?
    Maybe.
    What if you heard he owned a plane made of gold?
    Sure.
    Good, because he needs the money.

    That's definitely debatable. It can actually be argued that Thrash metal was the first sub-genre of Extreme metal. Though it would definitely be the least "extreme" sub-genre, with the possible exception of power metal.

    That's true for the harder thrash songs, but I wouldn't consider anything by Metallica, especially stuff like the Black Album and Load/Reload, to be extreme metal.

    But he wasn't referring to thrash, just Metallica.

    Of course, nothing after the Black album can be considered extreme metal. The whole definition of extreme metal is pretty static anyway, so it's debatable.

    For example, I wouldn't hesitate to call Kill em' All extreme metal, since it is one of the first thrash albums, and I believe the first in America, though I could be and probably am wrong.

    I don't think I've heard Power Metal described as an extreme metal sub-genre. You might be thinking of Doom.
    Not removing this until Oscar-rio gets a sex-change!!
