The Beatles: ROCK BAND - Rumors and Facts

[cherokeesam]

Thanks for today's update, Sayburr.

Great news. Glad to see HMX is taking the "Guitar Hero Aerosmith" route and making a true fan's game, not a glorified album DLC like the overpriced AC/DC Track Pack.

So we can expect to see venues like The Cavern, Abbey Road, maybe Times Square?

As long as I can rock the guitar solos in "The End" and then sing "Her Majesty" directly after, this will be THE GREATEST GAME THAT EVER LIVED!

If they make it able to play threw the whole ending of Abbey Road, without breaks, then that would be amazing beyond amazingness!

THIS IS FACT. It's probably my favorite ending to any album, ever.

There is no mention anywhere, but I would love to have a venue set up for the rooftop concert... I have a bootleg of that concert and think it would be very cool if the first official release of that material were on this new Harmonix game...

They reported on an NPR show that Giles Martin, who will be doing the sound on this game, is also hard at work on the long-awaited remasters for The White Album and Sgt. Peppers. These album releases are scheduled for... next year, around when the Beatles game will be released.

So, all signs are that tracks from these albums that show up on the game will be new remasters produced by Giles Martin.

Well, makes sense. While he is working on remastering for Rock Band, Apple might as well re-release the CDs...

Absolutely. It HAS to be included. It HAS to be! Not just for the guitar, but for the drums in there, too. I was blown away when McCartney actually played Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End on his 89-90 tour.

I'm really hoping for more than 45 songs, too. That would be seriously disappointing. Has to at least hit 60.

Just a little early (1 year).

I hope The Ed Sullivan Show & Shea Stadium are venues.

Good post Sayburr, not a bad idea to try and gather all the data in one place.

I restate my enthusiasim and anticipation for the Beatles project.
