The Beatles: ROCK BAND - Rumors and Facts

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO~&%#&^#^&!#!*&!

I still hope And Your Bird Can Sing and She Said She Said are still in!

Thank God it is fake.

I'm glad it was fake! I like having the tracks released a little bit at a time so it keeps me interested in the game (even though i think i would never loose any interest!)

Someone to a leaked list is fake tag.

Even if it were real, don't you think HMX would call it "fake" anyways, for PR/Marketing sake?

If it is real, kind of surprised not to see Got To Get You Into My Life, especially after Paul played that song with Beatles: RB footage in the background at his concert. Can't quite tell if the footage is of that song or not, but... who knows.

I'd be very happy with that tracklist! I think essentially everything not on the disc will end up being DLC anyway, so let's keep the disc nice and tidy with songs the fit well in the traditional Guitar, Bass, Drum format.

I'm glad that setlist is "fake". I guess we will only know the extent of its 'fakeness' once the setlist is officially announced (or it could be another "the setlist is not 45 songs" type of deal).

Supposing it is/was real, I would be a little disappointed in it (by a little I mean knocking it from 10/10 to about 9.89/10). No Tomorrow Never Knows, A Day In The Life, Eight Days A Week, One After 909 or Strawberry Fields Forever is a bit disappointing. But I'm confident we would get all of them at some point, it would just be nice to know I could play some/all of those on 09/09/09

But I am strongly supportive of the inclusion of And Your Bird Can Sing in TB:RB. That is one song I really hope makes the on-disc cut.

A Harmonix spokesperson... "The rumored 'leaked' list is not the disc track listing for The Beatles: Rock Band."

Even if it were real, don't you think HMX would call it "fake" anyways, for PR/Marketing sake?

If it was the exact list for the game, with all 45/45 correct, I don't think they could really have a direct quote saying it's not the list.

Their usual behaviour was to neither confirm nor deny rumours/leaks/etc. for game song lists (and often, to quickly remove all unsubstantiated threads). Some of the RB2 list leaks ended up being pretty accurate and they supposedly changed their plans and put the whole setlist out at E3.

Anyway, from that HMX quote, 44/45 or 10/45 of the list could be perfect and it would still be "not the disc track listing for The Beatles: Rock Band." But when we know nothing about the source of the leak there's no reason to assume it's accurate. This game is incredibly easy to create fake "leaked" lists around the 10 known songs, just pick some popular Beatles songs and a few less well known ones with good guitar/bass/drums/vocal, put them in chronological order, and there you go. I might start a few rumours myself

I don't think the footage was from that song because the song is from 66 and The Beatles in the footage looked like Beatles from 68.

No Rain on that rumored track list makes me sad, if that's actually the correct track list. Other than that, it's pretty good. The inclusion of "I'm Down" is really surprising considering while it's certainly a great song, it is a B-side that was never released on a studio album. It kinda falls into the same slot as Rain, but if it came down to a decision between the two, I'd rather have Rain.

To be fair even if that "fake" leaked track list had been real I wouldn't have been disappointed. It was def good enough like. And as Ren said a few posts back, they gotta keep something for DLC.

As for the inclusion of I'm Down instead of Rain...They used to end most the shows in 66 with I'm Down. So I'd imagine either the Budokan venue may end with that.
