    I'd be fine with like 3 simultaneous albums all released on the same day.

    So... I'm new to the RockBand party, and realise this has probably already been answered... BUT...

    GHWT drums/guitar/mic + RB2... can you configure which drum pads you use for which notes in RB2? Ie which drum pad gets left out due to there being an extra one?

    No, the orange cymbal will just be unused.

    I obviously haven't researched GHWT enough, but does it seriously not have a kick pedal? WTF
    that's like, maybe a little overexaggeration, but like half of drumming being gone....

    There's a kick pedal. It doesn't have anything to secure it on but velcro, and the lines in game aren't as bold as Rock Bands, but theres definitely a kick pedal.

    I'm guessing he saw a demo station that didn't have one.

    yea my coworker bought it and he said he never had one and was playing it just fine and all this... of course he's a big bs'er so i guess i don't even know if he bought it... and he said GHWT was way better than rock band so he can't be trusted anyways.

    Well, HMX did talk about hitting entire catalogue for worthy bands, can you Imagine? (Pun partially intended, it's not a Beatles song after all)

    283 total. If they did 2$ each, or God forbid the once mentioned 3$ price, without discount....

    I hope this is wrong.

    Fox News is saying it's going to be out for Christmas 2009. That would make me gently weep.

    It should include classics like "Revolution," "Helter Skelter," and "Hey Jude."



    SHOULD

    OR WILL


    Hey Jude would be like vocalist sex

    I would play it everytime I turned the game on

    Agreed. And also - although one year SUCKS, it kinda makes sense. I'm assuming the deal is still semi-fresh, and turnaround on the masters is a very long process, and I'd also guess this release is going to be more than a DLC pack, so extra time would be required.

    Although it also says Paul McCartney has seen a demo, so perhaps the GAME will in Christmas 2009, with a couple song packs between now and then...or McCartney just saw a ROCK BAND demo in general...

    This Rock Band: The Beatles thing will very likely be the bane of my girlfriend's existence. I don't think I'm going to tell her about it for a while. It's bad enough I'm making a lot of noise with the drums, but now to do so with Beatles music will just put her over the edge...

    Yeah, they could have just thrown a few songs into RB2 and showed them off.

    I would be happy if they announced a disk with 50 songs out next fall, it just seems so far away.

    Not to continue the pissing contest (too much) but I'm surprised at the press release.

    I'm surprised it didn't just say, " Beatles. Rock Band. Suck it, Guitar Hero." I mean, that's what I would've done. I just hope like hell that Activision doesn't just give Zep their own galaxy and time machine and giant diamonds and laser and falcons or whatever the fuck they'll take to hand over their music. I'd really rather not have to buy another GH game.

    It's rather depressing. Every other music group I listen to she tolerates pretty well and has even taken most of my musical tendencies, but dammit she absolutely refuses to even slightly like the Beatles. I'm not even allowed to listen to them with her around. They put her in a bad mood. It's weird. :(

    Yeah. I've been considering it for Jimi, Tool, and the music creator. But I just can't find the will to throw down the cash. I should have added it to my Goozex queue.

    So here's how my last ten minutes went.

    *Scrolling through...*

    *Sees thread: "ROCK BAND : The Beatles come aboard - will be ann*

    *Whips out cell phone*

    "DOM, BEATLES ARE COMING TO ROCK BAND!"

    *Hits buttons*

    "TREVOR, BEATLES ARE COMING TO ROCK BAND!"

    *Hits buttons*

    "TONY, BEATLES ARE FUCKING COMING TO FUCKING ROCK BAND! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

    This is the only band where I can claim that I will buy any song that they release. ANY.

    But please God, "Happiness is a Warm Gun" in the first round of DLC, PLEASE.

    Remember when they were talking to The Who about certain bands having a potential for full catalogues?

    THE BEATLES ARE NOW A POTENTIAL BAND GUYS!!!

    I'm sorry. I'll calm down.

    Man, I don't think Beatles songs would be very fun for Rock Band.

    "Fun for Rock Band" translates into different things for different people.

    While I can find joy in songs I don't like if they're charted well, I can also find joy in songs I love that aren't very challenging at all.

    See: "All the Small Things"

    EDIT: And Joah, if we're getting Beatles in Rock Band, "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" is pretty much confirmed. I would bet on most of 1, actually.

    I wouldn't be too hopeful. With the Beatles' track record of licensing their songs, I'm not so sure we'll get more than a three-pack.

    Don't get me wrong, I hope we get more, and if we don't I'm sure there will be hell to pay over on the official RB forums, but I am waiting for the official announcement.

    I'm really thinking this will be a stand-alone game, with two key differences from AC/DC.

    1) More than one album. I'm thinking 70-80 tracks, possibly.

    2) $60 price tag.

    EDIT: So...how long till Led Zeppelin, guys?

    I hate Pink Floyd and enjoy Led Zeppelin, but find them overrated.

    I basically asked because they're the holy grail of the unattainable rights.
