Now this is some amazing news. Again, nothing has been officially announced, the owner of a majority of Beatles music (Sony/ATV Music Publishing) has been in talks with Activision about the possibility of a Guitar Hero game dedicated solely to the Beatles.
The word from CEO of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Martin N. "Marty" Bandier, is:
"It's something we have talked about and something I'd like to pursue."
A short statement, but a statement that could start the warming of many hearts. Personally, I think I would excrete a fluid not appropriate for mention on this site in my pants. I LOVE the Beatles music and a game featuring a bunch of Beatles songs would just be awesome. And I'm sure a ton of people would agree.
I mean think of the amount of people that would buy this game. There are not many people who do not like the Beatles. It would capture the older audience that grew up listening to the Beatles, the younger Beatles fans, and it would also have the audience of the entire Guitar Hero gaming community. A game that was the top selling game of last year without a huge name such as The Beatles attached to it. It would sell a ton.
What do you guys think? Leave a comment!

i dont think this should be made, i mean, not as many people will buy it as guitar hero 3/4.... people buy it because it includes a mixture of songs, a lot of different bands and i'm not sure the younger audience would want a whole game dedicated to the beatles, people want it as a party game, with songs they can sing along to, can anyone really sing along to 40 beatles songs?

I am from the younger generation and I enjoy the Beatles as to many of my peers. Im sure many groups are different though. The Beatles, without a doubt, have a ton of great songs and I think it would open the eyes of many younger people that may have not yet listened to them fully. I know I have found songs I liked from previous Guitar Hero games that I had not previously heard and I believe that would be the effect of a Beatles Guitar Hero game.
From a comparison point of view, they are already making a GH: Aerosmith game. Aerosmith is a great band, but they are no Beatles. If they can make an Aerosmith game, they can make a Beatles game.

A Beatles song pack for Guitar Hero 3? Sure. But it's doubtful that people of my generation, who are within the target demographic for such a game, would bother going out and buying a game dedicated solely to the Beatles. Hell, I thought Guitar Hero: Aerosmith was pushing it -- while I'm a huge Aerosmith fan, there's no way I'm coughing up fifty dollars for the expansion.

This will rock! I still hold out hope though that Led Zeppelin can be coerced into a game.
