Once again Mr. Chad, all valid points. I suppose back in the 60's this wasn't at all common behavior for a band, and of course anything out of the ordinary will receive attention. It would make sense that they'd still be remembered for it to this day. I still think crying over the game though is a but much. Of course, that's just one mans opinion.

Also, any band composed of zombies will inevitably equal win.

"However, what is considered a "classic" artist or movie or anything that may receive the moniker is a simple matter of opinion." - Jack Hollow

"Simple matter" does not mean invalid, however. It's not a simple matter of one person blurting out "classic" and refuting it. When year after year, decade after decade, thousands opinions upon millions of opinions are formed that something is a "classic," justifiably based on enjoyment of the material, it's a deserved and valid moniker that overrides your simplified assertion. You' might be acting naive, stubborn, and a tad bit arrogant if you really think your own singular opinion should equate in measure to all of that, and negate the moniker 'classic.' When used correctly, the term "classic" by definition holds up against your argument of it being "simple opinion."

This is certainly not to say you should "change your opinion" about liking something because multitudes of others do - I certainly think you should maintain your own opinions. Rather, you should understand that although you may not like whatever it is, based on the numbers, you should respect the usage of the term "classic" for things that have stood the test.

@ill
I understand what you're saying. I did not mean to boil it down to such simplicity, I only meant to say that even if millions upon millions of people may all genuinely enjoy and come to the same opinion that X work is classic, there will always be some people who either don't agree with you (which is of course their own opinion and if presented in a civil manner should be respected) or not understand why you've come to said conclusion.

And by no means do I mean to convey that because I don't completely understand the fandom behind The Beatles that they don't deserve the classic moniker.

Hey Jack, I definitely understand, there are things that I don't really care for as much as others (Halo3 is not essential to me like it is to others, I'll leave it at that) and I winced a little when I saw that Josh Randall quote about people crying when they sang... I don't want this game to be taken as seriously as that, not by myself, not by others! It's a big set-up for silliness!

I can easily see people singing along to it, these are some might fine, catchy tunes afterall. But really, tearing up? Why? I know they cover the history of The Beatle's but I didn't read anything about them going over John Lennon's.

Gamers should not be music critics. They fail utterly at it.

So, a lot of drugs are used in the playtest sessions then...? First game that should have a free preorder bong.

Dude... "Bong"? C'mon man, this is The Beatles, not Sublime. This would need to come with some hash, acid tabs, barbiturates, some smack, and airfare to India to come close!

This confirms that "Get Back" is on the setlist; that's its lyrics scrolling along the top.

I've got a good idea of what a good deal of the tracks will likely be.

"Get Back" was already confirmed. It is the song the performed on rooftop at the end of the E3 trailer, and thebeatlesrockband.com confirms it is on the announced song list.

Just imagining me and my friends playing "Last Train to Clarksville" on the future Monkees Rock Band makes me cry, ejaculate, and bleed from my ears.

Anyone who tears up at karaoke needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

Why are people so quick to assume that the people cried just because they were singing a Beatles song? "Here comes the Sun" is a strange mix of melancholy and optimism. If this person was having a particularly rough time, or just seeing his/her hard work pay off in a beautiful finished product, it's not impossible to show some emotion.

Holding hands with strangers is just icky.

Is there anyone else out there that DOESN'T cry playing games, watching films and the like? It sometimes makes me feel like some kind of cold, heartless monster.

There are very few games out there that are worthy of your tears. Though if you finish Metal Gear Solid 3 and don't at least feel something, you might be dead and rotting from the inside out. :P

@JAck

2 new Beatles singles were released in 1995. They took unreleased John Lennon demo tapes and the living ones added their input. Both were great.

The thing about The Beatles is that their harmonies and melodies were ground-breakingly original at the time, and have stood the test of it. It's so obvious when someone rips off a Beatles melody or a Zeppelin riff now. I'm glad the Beatles who are no longer with us will be remembered in a game that promotes positivity and group harmony.

holding strangers hands as well as crying are typical behaviors of the elderly...

Crying? This was only achieved after beating MGS 3: Snake Eater and MGS4:SoL. I also cried during the Halo cinematics because they were all so horrible. If anyone cried out of genuine emotion at Halo 3's ending cinematic that probably means time to look up at the stars and say **ck life.
