I'm torn by this commercial. Do you think that all four would have agreed to this game?

I think it's ridiculous. Little kids are gonna start listening to Beatles just because of a video game.
They're gonna hype about, say "Being for the Benefit of mr Kite" just like they did about "Through the Fire and Flames" in Guitar Hero.
No, i don't like it.

Me either.What is so bad about exposing a younger generation to one of the most influential bands in music?

I too fail to see the negative side of anybody discovering The Beatles.

I turned my daughter (she's 18 now)on to them a few years ago.She fell in love with them and bands she used to like such as Green Day,Blink 182 and so forth fell by the wayside.
 
Now she listens to stuff like The Beatles,The Doors,Queen,Led Zeppelin,The Who,Deep Purple and Thin Lizzy.
 
That's not a bad thing at all.

I'm not against kids listening to the Beatles!
They will listen to Beatles because they are in a video game, and not because... whatever...
The point is that i don't like it Embarrassed

I dont see problem with Beatles exposed to kids.

But my problem is the other way around.. Add is not about about Beatles..its about Rock Band. They are using Beatles and other bands to sell video games.The amount of kids spend time behind video games, computer, internet..etc is just sick..

To me it's just more Beatles merchandise and if anyone deserves a video game it's them.

I think they wouldn't have minded the game at all. What especially John would have hated, though, is the use of their work in commercials - John would have flipped, had he heard "Revolution" in a Nike spot, "Getting Better" in a Philips commercial or "All You Need Is Love" used for a campaign for disposable diapers in 2007!!

There were Beatles dolls, lunchboxes, notebooks, etc., etc., etc., etc.,etc., etc., back in the day.  ( I had the lunchbox complete with thermos in 1968 in the 4th grade)  Hell, they even had a Saturday morning cartoon.  The Beatles were the basic model for the Gene Simmons mode of merchandising.  I think if they had stayed together and were still around as a a commercial entity it would have happened sooner and on a much larger scale than it already has.  The new Beatles album would be available exclusively at Wall-e-mart just like all the rest.  Poor Gene, out flanked by the Pre-Fab 4 once again.  Look for the Kiss version next year.

I think it's great, finally a Rock Band/Guitar Hero type game that is musically interesting to me! I hope that it gets kids genuinely interested in The Beatles. I hoped the same thing with Rush in Rock Band, I played Moving Pictures, but for some reason nobody who liked playing Tom Sawyer liked it.

Too bad I don't have a game system to play it. Cry
