The Beatles: Rock Band set list not compromised by Michael Jackson's death
by Griffin McElroy 
{ Jul 9th 2009 at 1:10PM } 
Why is this news relevant to you, dear reader? Well, many faux-rockers have been worried that Jackson's passing would affect the final set list for The Beatles: Rock Band. Fortunately, Harmonix recently confirmed to IGN that the game's tracks won't be compromised by MJ's death, or the dispersal of his assets -- including the Sony/ATV stake -- that will take place in the coming weeks. However, we expect that Elephant Man Bone Collector 3 will miss its fall launch window by a sizable margin.

That's kind of random... Not a fan, eh?

Drew @ Jul 9th 2009 2:28PM
The only thing i get when i Google are people like you spamming, and one blog that promises to crush Justin when he has time.

Why is that screenshot so blurry? I really hope this is the last one band game Harmonix does. AC/DC was alright because you could export the songs into your RB2, but if they release anymore that don't export I'm not buying. Exporting songs was the main reason I choose Rock Band over GH.
Comtar @ Jul 9th 2009 1:22PM
Imagine if you could play your downloadable songs in Rock Band: Beatles.
Paul McCartney singing Cannibal Corpse! AWESOME!
Shmil @ Jul 9th 2009 1:48PM
Damn kids! Stay off his lawn!
MrSpaceCowboy @ Jul 9th 2009 1:54PM
But the lazy kids wouldn't be on his lawn!
They'd all be inside on their fat lazy asses!

Calm your words son, maybe Led Zepellin will see this and go "nice, we got a deal"

@MystileArmor
Woah, chill out man. I am getting this game, take a breath and read that again, I am getting this game. This is the only band I can think of that deserves a whole game to themselves. I'm guessing you don't have friends that come over regulary and play Rock Band or GH with you because then you would understand what a pain changing discs is. When I have people over just getting to the point where you can actually choose songs takes long enough. Everyone feels they have to look through every single character to choose who they will be (even though they will be looking at the notes and not their character), then you finally get to the song selection screen and someone inevitably accidentally hits the back button. Then you find a song and play it. I don't want to add an extra 5 minutes of menus and disc switching when it is unnecessary. Why would you possibly want all your songs spread out on different discs when you could have them in one location? It's like using a million different cd's when you could just use an iPod.

His grievances were quite ironic, given his avatar.

"no one listens to an album from start to finish anymore"
That's not laziness, son; that's a squandered attention span...

Why is this only 360/PS3 news?
Don't tell me it was just canceled for Wii...
Danny @ Jul 9th 2009 2:01PM
I would be moderately disappointed

Hahaha, as I was reading this, I was thinking up a comment about the Elephant Man's bones' video game, and debating whether or not I should post it. Thanks for alleviating my moral dilemma.
Jack Tretton @ Jul 9th 2009 1:25PM
We interrupt these comments to announce a second plane has just crashed into Michael Jackson!
MystileArmor @ Jul 9th 2009 1:29PM
That's just wrong on so many different levels.
MrSpaceCowboy @ Jul 9th 2009 1:32PM
The plane was too high to get over, too low to get under?
Shmil @ Jul 9th 2009 1:33PM
If I said Billy Mays still hasn't woken up, maybe he's Rip Van Winkle, would that be wrong?
Shagittarius @ Jul 9th 2009 1:38PM
Your stuck in the middle, and the pain is thunder...
Angel Mass @ Jul 9th 2009 1:25PM
Thank MJ (GOD)
FNG @ Jul 9th 2009 1:32PM
so this God you speak of was a pedophile? ick dude.
MrSpaceCowboy @ Jul 9th 2009 1:34PM
He could've been talking about Michael Jordan.
.... Or Mick Jagger.

Judging by your old man avatar, could the pot be calling the kettle black?... or white?... It's black.
Angel Mass @ Jul 9th 2009 1:36PM
Lets not include that little detail when we write the new bible k
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 9th 2009 1:36PM
This just in: Michael Jackson is dead. Get over it.
vidGuy @ Jul 9th 2009 1:41PM
@Wiizer, the kettle had a skin disease. It didn't *choose* to be white; it loved it's Kettle-American heritage.
Shmil @ Jul 9th 2009 1:42PM
But...but...thriller!
MrSpaceCowboy @ Jul 9th 2009 1:52PM
Remember that time when the white kettle dangled his baby over the hotel balcony? Good times.
I'm gonna miss that kettle and his wacky antics. All we have now is his amazing catalogue of kettle tunes.
FNG @ Jul 9th 2009 3:09PM
awe. did I hurt all your feelings? Do you miss being molested by this freak? I like how the media called him Jacko for years. now that he's dead he's no longer Jacko. Jackson the wacko will always be a pedophile. Jacko Jacko dead at last. Jacko Jacko loved 8 year olds ass.
Drew @ Jul 9th 2009 6:01PM
If there was anybody weird enough to have slumber parties and nothing more, MJ is it. He was filling in the gap in his life where he missed out on being a kid. He was having a sleepover. Last time I checked, I never got raped at a sleepover. Furthermore, those allegations where brought up by a family with a history of extortion.
Oh, I'm sorry. You must need a dictionary now.
Wiizer (Michael Pachter MUST DIE.. Professionally) @ Jul 9th 2009 6:27PM
Drew,
Take a look at FNG's history of comments.
Obviously, we're dealing with someone that has many more issues than Michael Jackson.
Omega2k3 @ Jul 9th 2009 7:15PM
OK, yeah he was a pretty cool guy and he didn't afraid of anything, but MJ was still kind of a douche for buying the rights to Beatles music.

@ FNG & Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge
I am actually sickened by the way some of you, (not everyone, because the majority of people here have been very respectful), have chosen to speak about a person who has died.
Do you fucking parasites even realize what douche bags you come off as ??
I don't fucking care what your personal opinions or beliefs are about Michael Jackson, but to attack a person the way some of you have is absolutely disgusting, and that is why people like you guys are an absolute waste of skin, and the world would be a much better place with you gone !!
Also to everyone that has chosen to spew bullshit about this man's death, (or any other persons death), I hope and pray that each and every one of you will have a family member, (or better yet your whole family), die in the the most vial, painful, and excruciating fashion !! I will then promptly return to this site and say the most vial and disgusting things about your said family member(s), and then we will see how funny you think it is.
Disrespecting the dead is one of the most disgusting things a person can do, and I guarantee that anyone that chooses to participate in such vial behavior will have CARMA to deal with, and such people will suffer unimaginable pain and lose, (and it will be well deserved)!!
Omega2k3 @ Jul 12th 2009 4:49AM
Hey paranoid, I find it kind of ironic that you're trying to be morally superior when almost every one of your posts, if not all (didn't read them all through) are just aggressive and rude.
Anyone that wants to sip on a big glass of lulz hypocrisy should click on his name right about now.
samfish (uses the Joystiq Comment-Kill filter!) @ Jul 9th 2009 1:51PM
Wait, Michael Jackson died? When was this??
dark_inchworm (on Steam!) dark inchworm (on XBL!) @ Jul 9th 2009 1:51PM
PLEASE tell me you're kidding
Shmil @ Jul 9th 2009 1:54PM
Sam was probably stuck in a dungeon or something for the past few weeks.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Jul 9th 2009 2:04PM
yea he was lost in space
