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."

    Micheal Jackson gets a large sum of money, and Neverland is no longer in danger of being repo'ed.

    Man, how the FUCK did MJ ever come into being?

    (for those that don't know, M Jackson had/has controlling interest of the Beatles music)

    And how about you learn to respect other people having harmless fun rather than belittle them for choosing one pointless hobby over another.

    Sincerely, someone who actually has half a brain. As opposed to you.
