15 New Songs on 'The Beatles: Rock Band' (Video)


With the release date of 'The Beatles: Rock Band' quickly approaching (9/9/09), MTV Games thought it appropriate to let loose and reveal another 15 songs that will be featured in the Fab Four branded rhythm game.

'The Beatles: Rock Band' will feature a total of 45 songs from arguably the greatest band of all time taken directly from the master tapes. So far, MTV Games has revealed 25 of the tracks, including 'Revolution,' 'Paperback Writer,' 'Back in the U.S.S.R.,' and 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.'

It was also revealed that, in addition to having instruments styled after The Beatles iconic wares, this version of Rock Band will also support three part vocal harmonies, meaning that there are up to seven different playable tracks for each song. We took a moment to catch up with Harmonix's very own John Drake, who schooled us in how the game came to be, how involved the surviving Beatles were in developing it, and how Harmonix wants everyone -- including your mom -- to be able to jump into the game. Check out our interview above, for more exclusive tidbits.
