Beatles to appear in Guitar Hero title?

Posted on March 19th, 2008 at 22:05 EDT

As we gaze deeply into our crystal ball, we see that you may soon be living in a yellow submarine.

A Sony Music Publishing executive revealed that a Beatles-themed Guitar Hero could possibly be released on the PlayStation 3. Martin Bandler of Sony/ATV, owners of the copyright to the Beatles back-catalogue, said, "It's something we have talked about and would like to pursue."

The game would surely be a top-seller, particularly as the use and distribution of Beatles songs has been famously guarded in the past. Their songs continue to be unavailable to download through music outlets such as iTunes, with some restrictions only recently relaxing.

Activision seems to be keen on the idea of individual bands taking the center stage in its now-famous Guitar Hero series, and has already announced an Aerosmith version of the hit franchise to be released in June.

The Beatles are one of the greatest bands in music history, with more than 40 different singles, albums and EPs that reached number one in the UK. Who wouldn't like to see them in their own Guitar Hero title?

@ Dark_Halo34 and Babiloo The Beatles were one of the first successful bands to play Rock music. and in my opinion the best band ever. No, it isn't your typical Rock music of the new age but without the classics artist such as The Beatles, Elvis, Ray Charles, and Johnny Cash we wouldn't have had that transition from the Jazz and Old Country to the Blues and Rock music. Even if you don't like The Beatles you have to respect them... come on!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO. Well there's money I'll be saving by NOT buying this game. Beatles are "pop" music if you ask me, not rock. Give it to Rock Band. I like what they did to music and all (in their time), but I don't like them.

@Die-romantic I'm with you on that one!

@ those saying it would be boring, they didn't say it would be ALL Beatles, so I don't see how this would make the game boring to anyone.  Besides, the Beatles are great easily top best, but again if you don't like them you simply skip their 1 or 2 songs that will be in the game.

ok excuse me if im wrong but isnt this game aimed mainly at teens and young adults... and i dont know about you guys but im 20 and i cant even remember the name of one beatles song! but from what ive heard of them i dont think it would make a very intense game.... ask everyone that plays GH and rock band (i  prefer RB myself) and i guarantee most of them will say the funnest songs are the fastest and hardest songs! so why cant these companies listen to the fans and put out some MODERN rock bands! or make a game that is all metal and punk or maybe not metal but at least actual ROCK! how bout some Avenged Sevenfold, In Flames, Panterra, Mettalica, Trivium, AC DC, Motor Head, Megadeth, stuff people actually wana play!

I can see where you guys would say it would be boring (because there isn't a lot of crazy solos or anything like that) but...I would just love to just to jam out with a good beatles song. It would be better for Rock Band I think... just because of the music as a whole not just the guitar. @ Hububla I'm 20 and I know a lot of songs by The Beatles... you know how I found out about their music I downloaded some stuff found out it was awesome!!! and continued to listen to other music by them and other artist. That is the problem with my generation they completely lost taste in good music. just look at what they play on the radio, its not all bad but majority is just horrible. also some of those other bands would be cool but mostly for GH not so much for RB.
