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.
Shame about the beatles though. I hate them too.- how can you 'hate' the beatles...it is kind of weird childish reaction. its like hating rock music...since the defined rock music in so many ways.twokids
- the beatles did everything first, and better than anyone by a factor of like 10
twokids - "before anyone had done anything, Elvis had done everything." John Lennon,mikotondria3
- then the beatles came along and did it all better than anyone then or nowtwokids
- agreed..nothing quite like the beatles...love love love them :)exador1

just to confirm - this was directed by Pete Candeland (animation director Robert Valley) at Passion Pictures. Jamie Hewlett was not involved in this one.

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.

interesting how the animation style mixes the flat 2d and 3d. starts to get lost at the end, i think.....mismatches quite a bit and doesnt hold up the way the beginning does

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.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who wishes the in-game visuals were like this, instead of the typical 3D models.

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

Beautiful work! Great concept, great execution, tight work. Love the Beatles and love the animation. I will get a PS3 just for this game, probably.

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 def not incredible in comparison but a great story on how the youngKidswift
- school kid pretended he was a journalist and got an exclusive interview with J LennonKidswift
- To be fair the Beatles budget was probably 20 times more or something...babaganush
- I have an older friend who chased Lennon into a bodega in NY, struck up a conversation with him and he asked her for bootlegs because he "didn't keep anything".CyBrain
