Rock Band 3 getting John Lennon's 'Imagine' album as DLC

by Ludwig Kietzmann on Oct 25th 2010 2:20PM

Harmonix and MTV Games have announced that John Lennon's acclaimed 1971 album, "Imagine," will be among the first albums available for download in Rock Band 3. We imagine all the people who purchase the new keyboard peripheral will be very eager to play some of Lennon's ballads.

An exact release date and price has yet to be announced (should that have been a "Gimme Some Truth" joke?), though you can expect Lennon's nine tunes (the title track is already on the disc) to join The Doors and Billy Joel online sometime after the game's October 26 launch. And even if you buy it a bit late, there's no better way to commemorate a legend's 70th birthday. Remember how disgusted Grandpa was when you gave him a quarter of a beetle inside a velvet box?

Track List

"Imagine" (already on disc)
"Crippled Inside"
"Jealous Guy"
"It's So Hard"
"I Don't Wanna Be A Soldier Mama"
"Gimme Some Truth"
"Oh My Love"
"How Do You Sleep?"
"How?"
"Oh Yoko!"

I may be hated for this... but give me everything before Yoko, I still haven't got over that pain yet.

All I need is "Instant Karma!"

@Ray42 Crap beat me to it.

@Ray42 I also need "Well, Well, Well" and "Watching the Wheels Spin"

@Picasotriggerfish
"Nobody Told Me" and "(Just Like) Starting Over" while we're at it. :)

@Ray42

Agreed. It's my favorite Lennon song.

I'm guess Lennon's edgier stuff won't be making its way to the game...

@Aerothorn I don't know, "How do you Sleep?" is pretty edgy.

Imagine... a world without hippies

@Fermie Prime
I love you too.

@Fermie Prime

I was going to say Mark David Chapman did, but then remembered he killed Lennon because he wasn't a big enough hippie.

@Fermie Prime
You make me giggle

Awesome. Now I want the theme from Cheers.

Can we get John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Double Fantasy as well! I so want to sing Mother! and Watching the wheels.

Great!!!

But now let us play The Beatles Rock Band songs too :(

@Dropeti
I'm glad they are keeping the Beatles and Rock Band seperate.

I don't want to see John Lennon's voice coming out of The Duke Of Gravity... only David Bowie's.

also Oh Yoko is going to be so much fun to play on the key board.

How about something for the McCartney fans?

I wish John Lennon could be on the Blueprint 4.

Rock Band 3 is going to ruin me with all that awesome DLC coming out so soon after launch, god dammit!

@matsam with ya there

@matsam What is coming out next??

They are off to such a good start!

For a peacey dude, Lennon really had a lot of hateful songs, which is why I'd kill to play How do you Sleep on rock band.

@(Unverified) That's on of the songs where John is bitching out Paul via a song. They went back and forth for about a decade on their respective albums.
McCartney's "Silly Love Songs" is an "answer" back to Lennon, for example.

Hmmm...John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band is better, but this is also welcomed : )

huh?

I don't really get this reference:

" quarter of a beetle inside a velvet box"

@Goze211 beetle is the problem here...its spelt beAtle and 1/4 is a quarter...being there were 4 memebers

And the velvet box?

Announce 'Angel Dust' as Album DLC next, Harmonix! Cmon!

@wcarnation

I don't think "jizzlobber" would make the cut.
