The Beatles: ROCK BAND - Rumors and Facts

[autumnmantis]

I believe you are forgetting a little ditty named Yellow Submarine, but your point is taken.

It's clear they're doing a little simplifying as they tell this story (the rooftop being the end, in stead of Abbey Road, etc). At this point, I think "Yellow Submarine" is associated more on its own album than on Revolver. Plus, I think they'll make an effort to include at least one song per album, and since "Hey Bulldog" is yet to be confirmed, YS may be the only song we get from that one.

you know whats funny?
this game is coming out 09/09/09
AND theres a song called (by beatles of course) "One after 909
that'd be funny if thats one of the songs in it

It'd be funnier if One after 909 came out as DLC by itself on 9/10

Very nice! That should have been the exclusive available after launch. Of course, it's obvious why they chose All You Need is Love.

Can someone answer for me if the Abbey Road is going to be an entire DLC album, why are some of it's songs (Here Comes the Sun, Octopus's Garden) being listed as part of the 45 songs on the game disc?

Am I misunderstanding something?

They will be releasing the balance of the songs as DLC. It is the same technique Harmonix has used with Rock Band in the past. They release one song from the album on the disc and then release the balance of the songs at a later date.

In this case, they are releasing two songs on the disc with the balance being released as DLC. Between the disc and the DLC, the entire album will be released.

I liked the Here Comes The Sun dreamscape but it did seem a bit wierd seeing them looking like from the White Album, rather than from Abbey Road. Perhaps they don't want to have to animate John's enormous beard

It's like how Give It Away is on the RB2 disc, and the rest of Blood Sugar Sex Magik is available as DLC: it is an album download in the sense of completing the album, not that you will have to download the whole album (including any tracks on the disc).

Like the Pearl Jam 'Ten' album (Alive). Got it!! Thanks for the quick reply!! I didn't want to create a new thread to ask, and was curious how quickly someone would respond on this thread.

EDIT--Thank you too harveyglobetrot!!

I am soooo excited for this game!

I find it odd that those videos aren't being put round the internet a bit more. Also how come VH1 just had 'em randomly?

It think VH1 had them because they're owned by viacom, MTV and that lot.
not sure why it's just on the vh1 website though, i thought it would have been on mtv's first.
