The Beatles: ROCK BAND - Rumors and Facts

...but I dread the day when Yoko shows up at Abbey Road....

Maybe that will be covered in The Solo Years: Rock Band.

That's not John's guitar. It's George's Gretsch.

I think The Beatles: Rock Band is a bad name. It should be the other way around.

I think the word "ego" fits here. Or I could be wrong

The name doesn't matter much to me, as long as the gameplay is great

[CircaKnives]

I think that once you have achieved the things that the Beatles have done in revolutionizing music, you deserve to have your name first.

True, but Rock Band: The Beatles sounds soooo much better.

Either way sounds better than "AC/DC: Live Rock Band Track Pack"

It looks like The Beatles: Rock Band will have DLC. This is from an April 2nd interview with Harrision. The interview is pretty interesting to read but the only new information is from the last paragraph:

http://www.esdmusic.com/tag/beatles-rock-band/

Harrison said, "[Apple] really didn’t need much convincing if you looked to the fourth quarter, the month of December 2007, I think they sold something like 10,000,000 units of ‘Guitar Hero 2′ in just one month, and they are $50.00 each. I said, ‘If you do the math, if you go 50/50 with ‘Rock Band’ and you sell a Beatles ‘Rock Band’ game, that’s a big deal’ you know. And not to mention that, once the game is made, you can just keep adding songs to it. You could do the Bangladesh pack, you could do the ‘Live and Let Die’ pack, you could do the ‘Imagine’ pack…”

The prospect of DLC for the game, possibly including music from the band's solo careers, is awesome.
I'm seriously getting excited for this game now. I just hope the 45 songs thing turns out to be BS, because the game itself couldn't take up much more disc space than than RB2, unless it's got tons of cut scenes and stuff, so it would seem illogical to have so few songs on it. I'm hoping for 60 songs+
Also, many people seem to be complaining about the lack of challenge in The Beatles' songs, proving the point of rhythm games has been lost on many. This is going to be about a ridiculously fun full band experience. Also, the guitar never sounds boring to play on many songs, Ringo's drumming sounds really interesting and fun to play along to, the basslines sound good (Especially Taxman,) and vocals.... it's the Beatles.

HMX, please put Taxman and Rain in this game, and I'll love you forever.

totally agree with all that. also, i'd say Taxman is almost 100% guaranteed and i think Rain has a pretty good shot too.
