[Raytheon]

the only song i ever liked by the beatles EVER isn't there.

[Raytheon]

also about the foo fighters songs

youre forgetting long road to ruin which is the best song by foo fighters

[Camo]

the only song i ever liked by the beatles EVER isn't there.

And which one would that be?

The thing I'm baffled by is the lack of Help! Not my favorite song but one of their most popular by far.

[Raytheon]

yellow submarine

and only because of the trippy movie

[Camo]

yellow submarine

and only because of the trippy movie

I'd like you to name all the songs under Revolver on that big list.

[FRET]

I really like No Rain, but the drums don't kick in 'til about halfway through.

I like it too, good thing I main guitar haha

[Clutch]

Yellow Submarine's in one of the trailers.

I also thought it was a bit odd to leave off "The Long and Winding Road" and "The Ballad of John and Yoko", though maybe they just didn't fit well enough with the instrument set to do much with other than sing-along. Or one of them's the secret song, which seems underwhelming.

[Raytheon]

Harmonix don't choose the best songs.

[Clutch]

I guess you may've been waiting for this, but...

If you apparently don't like The Beatles, Harmonix, or Rockband, why even bother sticking around this topic?

[Raytheon]

I was stating a fact, broheim. Harmonix release DLC for rad bands but don't choose the best songs of those bands.

The Beatles: Rock Band will be published by MTV Games and was developed by Harmonix, the world’s premier music video game company and creators of the best-selling Rock Band. Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) will serve as distribution partner for the game. In addition, Giles Martin, co-producer of The Beatles innovative LOVE album project, is providing his expertise and serving as Music Producer for this groundbreaking Beatles project.

I laughed at this. It's so funny that Raytheon keeps talking about Harmonix's attempts at stealing thunder from Guiter Hero 5 as this is one of the biggest announcements for the Rock Band platform. I'm excited.

[Raytheon]

No, i said it once, stating that they have released over 40 guitar hero re-hashes

And why do they have 3 the beatles albums for the beatles game, when they couldve released it on disc. Money scabbing, obvs.

[Camo]

I'm guessing disk space for the whole albums thing. There is a ton of additional content on-disk in comparison to Rock Band 2.

[Raytheon]

If RB2's install size is 3gb(120 songs), Beatles wouldnt be more than 5gb(what is it, 50 songs plus all trippy shit). Theres 8gb on a 360 disk, and 50gb on a PS3 disk.

So no, they just want people to pay more.

---

Not saying theyre the only company that does it. Can anyone say Resident Evil 5?

[Camo]

In other news, the following songs are confirmed for Lego Rock Band DS. Whether or not they are on the console version is unknown, but I won't doubt they will all be available at some point in time.

"Ruby" -Kaiser Cheifs
"Monster" -The Automatic
"Ghostbusters" -Ray Parker Jr.
