Rumor: 45th track in Beatles: Rock Band is 'The End'

by Ben Gilbert on Sep 3rd 2009 10:24AM

We can just picture it: Harmonix employees collectively having a laugh at our expense as the forty-fifth (and final) track featured in The Beatles: Rock Band is announced to be ... wait for it ... "The End." The image you see above certainly makes this possibility seem all the more real, as the Abbey Road track isn't listed anywhere on the nearly complete track list we've had for some time now.

Apparently, the game has already landed in a few lucky forum-goers hands over at ScoreHero, who quickly revealed the alleged final track. Also revealed: The game's a lot of fun. Shocking! All kidding aside, though, we're fairly confident "The End" made it into the game as track number 45, but we'll have to wait and see with our own eyes when The Beatles: Rock Band launches next week.

The beginning of the end:

Is it Tuesday yet?

Wednesday

The love you makeeeeeeeeee

"You remember, like, on Abbey Road, how umm you sang 'the love you take is equal to the love you make'? Umm... is that true?"

"re..remember when.. people said you were dead? was that true?"

Even saying something about saying something negative will get you downvoted as well.

Or mentioning Mark Chapman DLC.

Doh! I lost track of who I needed replying to due to the downvotes....

I looooooooooooove that song.

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
Ill never look into your eyes...again

Oh wait. The Beatles song? Meh.

I might not agree with your "meh," but I LOLed at your comment. So +1 to you, sir.

Doors > Beatles

Watch yourselves. Saying anything negative about the beatles on this site elicits a downvoting frenzy.

The Beatles > The Bleatles > Everything

Bleatles? Are they a flock of sheep that do covers of Beatles songs? That does sound amazing.

The Beatles > Jesus

@zoot suit: Nice try pretending that if Beatles critics get voted down, it's because of "frenzied", kneejerk fanboyism, and not because dislike of the Beatles is a minority opinion with which most people would justifiably disagree.

@Logjammer:

Nice retort. Until "justifiably." Isn't it funny how one word can demonstrate the fanboyism you so openly disclaim. People throughout history have "justified" many atrocities.

@Zoot: Yeah, it would totally be funny if it did, but you don't know what the word "fanboy" actually means. Nor the word "justifiable", evidently, since you think appreciating the Beatles is not a critically defensible position.

@Logjammer

I must then charge you with misunderstanding vocabulary as well, because "Beatles > everything" hardly represents mere appreciation. Furthermore, I would hope that you realize that because something is widely accepted as true, doesn't necessarily make it so.

Downvoting someone who doesn't like the Beatles because they don't like the Beatles is fanboyism. There's nothing to justify.

SPOILER ALERT
Thanks For The Heads-up Joystiq!!!
Was saving that for when I bought the game as it's supposed to be the last track in the game!
Geeze!

My four-year-old son is going to be very disappointed that it's not "hey Jude" and he can't do the "na na na na" parts.

Yeah, wazzup with that?!

My four-year-old will be delighted when she finds out that the Beatles did a cover of that Wiggles song "Octopus's Garden."

I only want that If I can do Linda McCartney's vocal track.

Don't fret (yay for bad puns!), I'm sure you'll have the option to pay more for "Hey Jude" as DLC. Then your son can "na na na na" as much as he wants. Then again, I'll be doing the same thing! Good to know how much I've matured over the years...

Anyone know what the extra 3 Gamestop pre-order songs are?

When you pre-order, you'll get 3 free songs once the DLC comes out

If that's the case then BOOO (as I'll be buying all the DLC, anyway).

/opens new tab to cancel GameStop pre-order.

You're canceling the order because you'd rather pay for the free songs?...

Luke, if you're planning on buying all the DLC, it's pointless to get 3 free songs if they're included in the albums, thats why I'm just gonna give the code to one of my friends who who can't afford DLC that way he'll at least get SOMETHING

I learned something last night there are no free fill drum parts and there is no wa wa effect when you bend as note on the guitar. Do not blame Harmonix though blame Paul he wanted to preserve the songs. OH well it will still be awesome.

Not as awesome as this:

@copa: I LOL'd so hard I LMAO'd.

^ Best thing I've seen today.

Activision wanted The Beatles badly. Thank God they didn't get them.

Hey Jude :(

Don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better.

Remember to let her into your heart then you can start to make it better

Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.

The minute you let her under your skin
Then you begin to make it better

They'll make hey Jude available as dlc. It's one of their best songs, so you know it was intentionally left out so they can get us for more money. I'll do them one better and keep all my money. How's that taste EA?

I'm telling you Shag, these idiots will have nothing to do with anything anti-beatles. Even in jest.

Fuck you Joystiq for ruining the last surprise left for The Beatles: Rock Band. Seriously, this is a fucking game site. How could you post a spoiler in a title? Who the fuck writes these things? A bot?

At least Kotaku had the decency to not put it in the title.

http://kotaku.com/5350606/and-the-last-secret-beatles-rock-band-song-is

...but it's a music rhythm game

Why so serious?

And?

It is still a spoiler.

Then leave, Joystiq doesn't need babies like you posting.

I think knowledgeable Beatles fans would eventually come to the conclusion that The End will be the final song, as it was the final track in Abbey Road and arguably one of the best outros

@The Pie Pieper

Sorry, I've been a member for over 2 years versus your 7 months and 32 comments. If everyone agreed with you, Kenadian wouldn't have been voted up. We are gamers. Spoilers (in the effin title) regarding games we love, is like a kick in the nuts.

2 months, 7 years, 14 decades, it doesn't matter, your still acting like a baby.
Instead of dropping the F bomb and acting like a D bag, PM Ben or Chris and ask them to tag it with spoiler.
If learning the last song of a track list gets you this mad, I think you have more problems then the internet can help you with.
Joystiq > Kotaku
