Very nice. Now what are they selling me again?

Very cool. And its nice to finally see such an influential and great band get their own guitar video game. F aerosmith and metallica.

I do not like the beatles either, I told someone that once and he said something similar to peoples comments here. Although he didn't tell me it was a childish reaction.
I simply do not like their music.

I can easily hate the beatles. I find the vast majority of their songs overtly twee and annoying. It's that simple really...

Small Faces were a FAR superior band, who actually took drugs and didn't just lie about it to get on the news.
- okay...babaganush
- The thread isn't a fucking debate about who was the better band...babaganush
- didn't say it was. just defending my dislike....moth
- So shut your hole then ye mad trumpet.chossy
- that was for babaganush but I guess you can have some of it as well moth.chossy
- whateverbabaganush
- just listen to Tin Soldier and tell me I'm fucking right yo!moth
- hear that? Seminal? Yes? Moth speaks truth?moth
- this is fantastic7point34
- i like the small faces, but lets be honest here. History wont remember them. No where near the depth or influence.baseline_shift
- The drugs bit was a joke by the way. But nothing else is...moth
- That shit about the drugs was an asinine comment. Didn't the Small Faces have Rod Stewart at one point? Case closed.CyBrain
- no, Rod Stewart was in The Faces, the band that came after The Small Faces. One of my favourite songs this one.Wolfboy

Nice intro to the game, might have to finally pick up a Rock Band game when this comes out. I have a PS3 but am finding out I really hate video games.
Also it's a shame Yoko & Heather Mills will profit off this game.

to not like some aspect of the many facets of the beatles music is to not understand music as a whole. It is also underestimate their shaping of popular music as a whole, right the way through from production, arrangment, recording. Pioneering each of those things.
I have never met a musician who didn't like the beatles.

People who say they dont like the beatles are either:
A) Denouncing them cause the beatles are too popular for their reputation.
B) Too 'hard' to listen to songs like 'I wanna hold your hand'.
C) Have never given the beatles an honest, thorough listen.
- thank you +1 I honestly believe thisBaskerviIle
- Yeh, you just need to study them somewhat to appreciate their influence, and actually how great a composer McCart..mikotondria3
- .ney really was back in his late youth. The Beatles are true history in a way little else is. We have nothing of their type.mikotondria3

You've met me BaskerviIle!
I've heard it all before - that presumption that I should, by default, have an instinctive like of the beatles because I'm human or something. Well, no. I don't deny their influence, any more than I would deny the influence of the Spice Girls or Hendrix, but their music bores me. The Beatles, BORE ME. Maybe it was great if you were "there" when they were relevant - but I wasn't - and they are no longer relevant. The Spice Girls, Hendrix - even the small faces - are no longer relevant.
Relevance means nothing. A snobbish approach to music is unhealthy. I like what I like, and regardless of the effect the Beatles had on popular culture - the music leaves me cold.
- My feelings as well.morilla
- I'd also like to point out that my parents did not like the beatles but they did like the stones.chossy
- I know I've met you :) I'm not saying that everyone has to love their music but most people will have a period of discoveryBaskerviIle
- you might not like them but you have to respect them, half of your collection wouldn't exist without themBaskerviIle

This is amazing. WOW!! Jamie Hewlitt is the man!!

"you just need to study them somewhat to appreciate their influence...."
Listen to yourselves! FFS.....
Music speaks for itself. That's it - that is all there is to it.
- Do you do much book learnin' ?mikotondria3
- Still a fine animation though....moth
- You don't/shouldn't need books to enjoy music.moth
- Very true. But - do you understand anything of what the Beatles pioneered in terms of composition or production ?mikotondria3
- You all keep telling me I should, but I'm not going to study something I don't like.moth
- So no. And I don't "need" to know, as a musician, or a music fan.moth
- baseline_shift0
this is prob why you dont like the beatles. i bet people are constantly trying to cram them down your throat...
- Horp0
Good grief. Its a nice animation though isn't it.
Or not.
Discuss.
