The Beatles: Rock Band

If you know me at all, you know I'm a huge fan of the Rock Band series. It's just fantastic. I've been playing the drums for about 11 years now, and a full drum set isn't the most convenient instrument to play.

Rock Band drums feels legitimately like you're playing the real drums. It's obviously not EXACTLY the same, but the motions and the movements -- I don't know how to explain it except to say it just feels right. As a drummer, it feels right.

I've got Rock Band and Rock Band 2, and on Sept. 9, I will have to find a way to acquire this game. Ladies and gentlemen, the game-play trailer for The Beatles: Rock Band.



Look at that! How awesome is that?! First of all, it looks fantastic, aesthetically. It has signature moments in Beatles' history recreated in the game from the look of the guys and their wardrobe down to the clubs and venues they played. Second of all, that's going to be a great game. I'm a big Beatles fan, so, to answer my own rhetorical question from a second ago, this is going to be VERY AWESOME.

Not just for the drums though! Did you notice the addition to the vocals? Three-part harmonies will be a part of this game. Again, if you know me at all, you know I'll be gunning for that high-note harmony part every time.

I've said this about Rock Band before, and it bears repeating now: singing is waaaay more fun than it should be. Good times all around, and not just when you've had a few drinks.

P.S. On a completely unrelated note, I have pictures from the exploration Anne and I undertook of DC this past weekend. I will post them to Facebook tomorrow.
