They were one of if not the biggest influence on the music industry but the thing is they weren't that great. Sure they were talented but if it was simply based on talent then why isn't there a Rockband:Hendrix? I'm not against the beetles i'm just saying the the idea of Rockband:Beetles is laughable.

Oh and I agree GH:Aerosmith was a bad choice though Aerosmith are one of the few rock bands I respect. GH:Metallica was a great choice, Metallica has very complex riffs and really the first 4 Metallica Albums were genius, the Beetles in their entirety aren't near as good as the shittest Metallica song from those albums.

Oh and if u go on about influences then tell me would Rockband: Elvis or Rockband: Black Sabbath be very successful? Now I guess it depends of Sabbath since if it contains Iron Maiden, Venom, Diamond Head and other awesome 60's and 70's metal bands it would be quite decent though I doubt they would do that. Or how about Rockband: Micheal Jackson or Rockband: Eric Clapton, they'd perform poorly wouldnt they?

The Beatles may not be the "popular" thing right now, but they were a major influence on pretty much every single band thats come after them – and they fully deserve their own game – much more than Aerosmith or Metallica

Like I said it's mainly 30-40 year olds that still listen to The Beatles and such and most people who play Guitar Hero or Rockband are 13-25 years of age.

It'd be like if they made Rockband Elvis, if you were one of the few who still like Elvis you would likely support the game and its developers no matter how stupid it is from a marketing prospective and how much Elvis sucks compared to bands today.

If you complain for some strange reason because Elvis was around before the Beetles then think about this, would you think that a Rockband game based around the band Amon Amarth whom are Viking Metal would be a smart move by it's developers?

I'm not saying the game will be shit but really music has come quite far since the 60's and a band like the Beetles though they may be legendary they would be considered absolute shit if it were around 10+ years later.

Oh and no i'm not into the faggy lil techno, poprock scene crap I hate that shit and yes I agree that a game based around that type of music would be worse than Rockband Beetles.

It's mainly 30-40 year olds that listen to that kind of slow rock music.

Oh and no i'm not saying they suck I haven't got onto that yet, atm i'm just saying from a marketing prospective Rockband made a very stupid move.

Now I personally don't like The Beatles very much, the songs will be incredibly easy as The Beatles practically created rock and are just as talented as the current pop rock poser bands.

They should have done a Rockband 70's and included lots of chill songs and lots of awesome shit like Iron Maiden, Venom, Hendrix, Clapton, Sabbath(with dio), Diamond Head and many others too.

I guess we just live in a very mediocre world, don't buy this shit.

And I have no plans to buy any more plastic guitars. I'm fine with the X-plorer. If I were getting anything, I'd be modding my GH:WT drums. But I'm fine for now.

I personally am not a big fan I like a few songs like Help! and Come Together but I definitely think this will end up being a great game and I am planning on picking it up.
