It's going to be the best game ever.
Allegedly it comes with a Beatles drumhead, mic stand, and Hofner violin bass. cjlubdoods;
Comes out September 9th; I'll have to save up some money.
I hope they change their minds about not being able to export the songs to Rock Band 2. Because seriously its just a pain in the ass to change discs :(
Is it going to be exclusively Beatles songs, or will they switch it up a bit like with the Guitar Hero ones?

Are you kidding me?
It's a different game, why should they put all that effort to do something so pointless, just because you're a lazy asshole who doesn't want to put the other disk in? akudood;
The first time I actually give a shit about a Guitar Hero/Rock Band game.
Bring on the awesome!

Nothing's official yet, but I do believe it's only Beatles songs. Maybe they've have some of their solo stuff as well, but I think they're going for pure Beatles here.
It supposedly follows their entire career in chronological order, so it should be pretty nice.
Either way, it would still be perfect with only The Beatles; in fact, I'd go as far as to say that putting other artists in it would ruin the game.
I might buy it if it was only The Beattles. That would be pretty cook
um this will be so incredibly easy :|

How is it a different game? It has the fret board going across the screen and you hit notes accordingly correct? Oh shit, its Rock Band isn't it?
And it has nothing to do with being lazy, what if I feel like playing some weird ass Pearl Jam/ Beatles setlist? I have to play Pearl Jam, then switch the fucking disc and load all that shit up to play some Beatles. Its tedious and not really necessary.

Don't worry, I am sure you can find a lot of other people who share your love for the Beatles, I am just not one. I can understand that they had a huge impact on music, and I don't mind listening to them I just don't particularly like them.

You're fucking retarded Hiro
I love the fact that just my Rock Band 2 is able to hold all my songs from Rock Band 1 and the AC/DC track pack. Seriously it's terrible to switch disks
Oh yeah they don't have that feature on the Wii my bad
Geno, you should really stop being such a dipshit.

Uh no that's how it works. You're able to transfer all your songs onto one disk if you have the PS3 or 360 version.
You just need to stop being so damn retarded.

me too. The Kinks were better.
This is why Geno doesn't have any friends. <3

Sir, I think you have misinterpreted their statements. wariodood;
Unless you happen to know a Beatles song that would be hard to play in Rock Band.

So, in other words, they're going to "attempt" to make it more like a real guitar to give those with no musical talent some hope?

I second this notion.
The only REALLY talented musician in the band was George, the other two could write songs and sing.
also ringo did some stuff. Kinda.

Maybe Helter Skelter.
Maybe.
Of course there's going to be the day tripper riff.
They could tool in the acoustic part from here comes the sun.
Early shit's going to be pretty easy.
It'd be awesome if they put in Besame Mucho. That might take a little more effort.
I haven't played a guitar hero game in years, and I cant say I'm willing to invest in this, despite my fervent affection towards the band. My roomate has a wii, so maybe he'll get it.

...George, John, and Paul all played guitar, interchangeably, and were all fantastic at it. Furthermore, John and Paul were fucking amazing vocalists, and you can't say their songwriting isn't "talent" either. Not to mention Paul was a fucking great bassist, plus John could play some mighty fine chops on the bass every once in a while too if needed.
Hell, one of them could even drum, as evidenced by the fact the two of them recorded "The Ballad of John and Yoko" by themselves.
Ringo may be the one who did the least, but his drumming is a signature sound in itself, and he wrote "Octopus' Garden."
All of the Beatles were amazingly talented at pretty much everything they tried. Yes, George had a sitar he could play barely good enough to throw into a pop song (he was actually terrible at it compared to who taught him to play the damn thing). Yes, George played a lot of guitar. Yes, George wrote a couple of their better songs (which are all still worse than John and Paul's best songs). But George was not the only "really talented" Beatle and I suggest you do your research next time.

All being "fantastic" is an overstatement. John and Paul could play, but it was George who was the best in the band and could outplay BOTH of them.

This is true, though George was no pushover either.

"Barely good" is an achievement with the sitar. What unconventional instrument's did McCartney use? A ukulele? big woop. George would at least go out of the box. In fact, George bought a Moog synth and used it on Abbey Road. That was one of the most memorable times a synth had been used, and almost the first for a major recording (I think the Beach Boys did it first.)

But are still listenable and enjoyable and should not be shrugged off because John and Paul wrote some fantastic stuff

You would have more fun playing George's guitar parts than Paul and John. That's all I meant. I could've changed the wording a bit.

wat
if you're really saying metallica is better than the beatles, then idk what's wrong with you
but if you mean game-wise, then yeah metallica makes a better game
Some employee at Gamestop today saw me wearing my Let It Be shirt and came up to me and started talking to me about it. He was like...
"Dude, you know they're coming out with a Beatles Rock Band...there's gonna me like, Paul's Bass and uh...John Lennon's guitar and uh...it's cool. Wanna pre-order it...?"
So I pre-ordered it. Hope it doesn't suck.
I wish I could afford the ultimate edition :(
