MTV is set to announce something tomorrow at 7AM PST. Something which 1Up (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3171015) is guessing based on anecdotal evidence that its going to be that the Beatles are coming to Rock Band.

MTV is preparing a major announcement tomorrow morning involving an unprecedented partnership to develop a global music project with Apple Corps Ltd. (not the iPod guys, but the multimedia corporation founded by the Beatles). Nobody knows for sure what they're planning to reveal at 7:00 a.m. PST tomorrow, but -- considering the parties involved and their history -- we can probably come up with a pretty decent guess: The Beatles may very well be coming to Rock Band.

I've got my fingers, toes, and eyes crossed.

I would buy every single Beatles track they released.

Once the Beatles are available, the only one left to get is Zeppelin.

wow. while im not a die hard beatles fan, im still pumped about this. they were only what.. the biggest band ever? plus their tunes are catchy as hell.

I actually hope not.
Only because the songs don't seem to lend themselves to the gameplay IMO.

Seems that Hard rock/Metal songs are more fun to play with.

Here is where different tastes/opinions come in to play. :)

While I haven't given too much thought to how the Beatles themselves would do for gameplay (I do think it would be enjoyable), I know I hate playing metal in RB. I find more rhythmic/melodic songs fun (which tends to be most of the southern rock, strangely) along with the songs I love of course; but this could just be that I don't dig most of the metal tracks and thus I don't do too well on them.

That and I don't practice every day. I find Hard to be the fun difficulty for me, but again, if I put in a bunch of time to take guitar on Expert for everything, maybe I'd find it and the metal fun also. *shrug*

FUCKEN RIGHT!

Beatles, yes this is the good kind of music that will get me to buy Rock Band 2. Admittedly I love me some good Metal and all, but darn if I don't dislike playing it in video games gimme some good old fashioned rock to play with friends.

Hah! They look like kids. Get off my lawn, damn it.

Fuck Beatles DLC.

Give me The Beatles: The Game.

The Beatles would be awesome. I agree some of their later songs might not translate over to Rockband all that well, but I guess Harmonix could do what the Beatles did in concert and stick to mostly earlier songs.

I'd tack Pink Floyd onto the list, but we all KNOW that'll never happen. :(
