Once again Rock Band makes Guitar Hero look second-rate . Rock Band‘s answer to one of the worst video game ideas ever (Guitar Hero: Metallica) will be released on 9/9/09 and will feature none other than the Fab Four: The Beatles! This also marks the first time The Beatles’ music will be available in the digital realm.
What better way for Rock Band to give a big ol’ middle finger to Guitar Hero than to get a band for their game that:
a. Metallica couldn’t compete with if they tried
b. Has never made their music available digitally before
And check out the icing on the cake:
Giles Martin, son of longtime Beatles producer George Martin and co-producer of the Grammy Award-winning “LOVE” project with Cirque du Soleil, is serving as music producer for the Rock Band game
If you haven’t heard the “LOVE” record, I highly suggest going out and buying it. If none of this means anything to you, you’re hopeless. Burn all of your albums and never listen to music ever again.
