Rock Band Licenses The Beatles

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it's-about-time dept.

eldavojohn writes "The Wall Street Journal is reporting that MTV's Rock Band has gained the licenses to an undetermined number of songs. Details are scant, but it would be nice to see a whole game based on just the evolution of The Beatles' music. According to Reuters, this has been in the works for months. Hopefully I can finally hide my strained vocals to so many beautiful songs within the privacy of my home instead of drunk off my ass at a bar."

    I believe that's what the Kareoke Star games are for. It's Rock Band because it's primarily about the instruments - Pop Band would suck, because playing a 3 chord progression of power chords gets really old, really quick. Although it would be very entertaining to watch people figure out that so much of pop songs are identical.
