balogna pogna Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 The Beatles catalouge is so vast this could be a great game.I think Phish & the Dead could sell a lot of video games if they tried the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayr Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I am so thankful that they didn't develop these games before I took an interest in playing music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I am so thankful that they didn't develop these games before I took an interest in playing music. You'ld think so, wouldnt you? I sure did but recent reports are suggesting that kids are turning to 'real' instruments after being introduced to the fake styles of playing from Guitar Hero and Rock Band. I wonder if Velvet has had any of his young students say to him "Yeah, I started out on Rock Band but soon wanted to switch to the harder stuff once I mastered Iron Maiden on the Advanced level." or something along those lines.
