The great people at Harmonix and MTV games recently sent me the Beatles Rockband game (instruments sold separately) to test out (THANKS GUYS!!) for my CES/Holidays round up of products to review. When I first found out that they were sending me Beatles Rockband I was overjoyed and jumping around my condo like a kid in a candy store. (more…)
Today Harmonix and MTV released Beatles Rockband; frankly its about time! I tested out the Beatles Rockband game at E3 (see youtube here) and have been dying for it to be released. I had hoped for a copy before the release date but I am apparently not cool enough…yet (do I sound bitter?).
A true Beatles fan I watched VH1’s classic channel tribute to the Beatles all Labor day; including all their movies and the George Harrison Concert that Eric Clapton arranged. Till this day I start my morning with “Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head…”
So there is a pretty cool demo here but if you want to see us cutegeekers rockin’ it I suggest checking out this link!
Yippee skippy! I cannot wait till September to get the Beatles Rockband!!! Always been a huge fan even though I am an 80’s baby, my parents played music from the 50’s and on since I was a child! Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band is clearly one of my favorite Beatles albums (it helped my parents had the CD)! I recall I use to listen to that CD nightly in high school (unlike everyone else in HS listening to pop rock, no offense I am just an old schooler)! Till this day I swear I sometimes I start my morning with…
“Woke up, fell out of bed, Dragged a comb across my head. Found my way downstairs and drank a cup, And looking up I noticed I was late. Found my coat and grabbed my hat. Made the bus in seconds flat.” (Beatles Song: A Day In The Life)…and yes I literally sing this with a lil’ dance! I should have a reality show since I am such a dork! I swear I have been meaning to do a youtube of this reenactment! BUT I am hoping one day this song will be available for Rockband!
So yesterday I got a list of more songs for Beatles Rockband! (more…)
On day 2 I woke up sore, I forgot to let you all know I am pretty sure I sprained my foot. I was limping all through E3 and like a dummy I walked around on it. So day two was a late start (my nick name was gimpay) but we headed off to the convention center for our first meeting. Check out one of the displays in front of the convention center, this year truly had some creative outdoor displays and games.
Our first meeting was with Logitech and the first thing I tried was the Logitech® Wireless Guitar Controller and though I am not a Guitar Hero pro and never play the guitar I loved how this instrument played. It seemed more authentic especially since the neck is real wood. It has a wireless range of up to 30 feet and virtually silent controls, NICE!

Original band members Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with Yoko Ono Lennon and Olivia Harrison, came together today to kick off the 2009 E3 Media & Business Summit with the world premiere of The Beatles: Rock Band.
Tomorrow will be a huge day for me as I will be testing out the New Beatles Rockband with my fellow cutegeeker Radiris! I hope to video tape or have our unboss video tape us testing it out! Follow my tweets and facebook as I embark on my first E3.
Today Harmonix Music Systems, MTV Games, and Electronic Arts Inc. announced that replica Rickenbacker 325 and Gretsch Duo Jet guitars will be made available for The Beatles: Rockband. It will be available on XBox 360, Wii, and Playstation 3. This is awesome news and I am looking forward to checking this out at E3! Now I just need to learn how to play guitar instead of drums.
Also today The Beatles: Rock Band Pre-Order Club also went live in the U.S. and Canada; which will give fans news and access to exclusive game elements till its launch on 09/09/09. I suggest anyone to become a member of the club who is interested.
