Beatles sign a deal with ‘Rock Band’ Video Game

Posted on October 30, 2008

The Beatles have just signed a deal with ultra popular video game- ‘Rock Band.’ The Beatles will be lending many songs from their greatest hits albums as designing starts for the next Rock Band game.

Continue reading to find out more about the game.

Paul McCartney has agreed to the deal.

“Big Beatles announcement Thursday morning. The group is licensing key songs to MTV Games’ “Rock Band” video game. The announcement will be for a “Rock Band” game set to appear for Christmas 2009. Sources tell me that Paul McCartney has already seen a demo of it, and approves. The word is that this “Rock Band” game will “blow away” all the others.

It should include classics like “Revolution,” “Helter Skelter,” and “Hey Jude.” The Beatles never license their master recordings for anything, especially movies or TV.. Putting together “Rock Band” with their songs is a coup for MTV’s Judy McGrath and Van Toffler, and shows that Apple Corps’ Jeff Jones is set to bring the Beatles into the 21st century.”

This game should attract a much older crowd now. Maybe this will be the ultimate family video game?? Ok, maybe I am going a bit far with that one but you never know. I don’t know about you but I am buying it for the drum kit so I can rock out.
