Beatles coming to GH and Rock Band???
According to CNET,
Apple Corps and EMI are in negotiations with Activision and MTV to bring the Beatles music to both Guitar Hero and Rock Band!
Apple Corps and EMI, which respectively represent The Beatles' business
interests and ownership of its master recordings, have reportedly been
in discussions with video game publishers Activision and MTV Games.
Under a possible deal that could be worth several million
dollars, users could put their air guitar to use while listening to The
Beatles and playing Activision's Guitar Hero or MTV's Rock Band games, according to the report.
The move to push The Beatles' music onto a new stage via video games could occur within the coming weeks, the Financial Times
reported. Such a move would mark a change in embracing technology for
The Beatles' music, given that digital-use licenses for Beatles
recordings are not yet available.
The Beatles representatives, as well as the game publishers, declined to confirm whether a deal is on the horizon.
