[marines532]

Thanks

[dasfeuer]

Cool

[unlikelyvillian]

You do know that the Beatles are devil worshipers... just look on their album for Sergant Pepper's, on the top left corner there is Allister Crowley a Satanist. the song Sergant pepper says "20 years ago today sergant pepper's taught the ban to play" 20 years ago Allister died... and Allister's satanist church was called thelema ABBEY

[Taisto]

<:0

[TheSgtPimienta]

You are just simply stupid. It's a song, so let it go.

[unlikelyvillian]

Shut your poor mouth.

[TheSgtPimienta]

Haha, nevermind.

[stfwho]

lmfao wrong. anti Beatles crap wont work cuz how many devils worshippers do you know that love life and love people and love music and love everything and sing amazing songs about it? All Satan worshippers love is themselves. u fail. u cannot bring down the Beatles, they're just too high

[stfwho]

besides, if Allister Crowley died 20 years ago, that means he died 30 years after the songs recording. dumbass

[unlikelyvillian]

Are you in 4th grade math ? Allister died in 1947, the album came out in 1967. Where do you get the number 30 from ?

[stfwho]

and also, the beatles planned on putting Adolf Hitler on the album cover as well, so are they Nazis? Lots of very famous people are on the cover, doesn't mean anything in particular

[unlikelyvillian]

It doesn't mean anything ?

lol so If I have a tatoo of 666 on my forehead, that doesn't mean I worship the devil ?

You're logic gives me a headache.

[stfwho]

bah, you're an idiot, there's no point arguing with an idiot, all you'll do is lower my IQ. Have fun being an idiot and hating on the Beatles out of pure jealousy.

Beatles = Good people that made the greatest music known to man so far.

End of conversation.

[stfwho]

oh and ur stupid lil reference about the Abbey Road is just silly, they named it that because it was recorded in their Abbey Road Studio, which was built on a street called Abbey Road. Of all the stupid conspiracy theories i think yours is the silliest.

[usojin]

I think this game did a great job of introducing a great band to a younger generation who would have otherwise never listen to them to begin with.

[mandkay]

see thats what i hate about rock band and guitar hero..i dont play those 2 at all..after people play it their like "yeah, i love the beatles"..its kinda like the song "dont stop believing" where people are like omg i love journey and all they know is that one song. that bothers me. a lot...but other than that I love the beatles been listening to them for a long time,Im fucking pissed on the remake of hello goodbye by the jonas brothers..after i heard it i was like way to ruin the song you fags..

[andyjcostello]

...maybe people just.. love the beatles. dont be a hater please.

[mandkay]

not being a hater, just kinda telling the truth if you think about it

[stfwho]

I think The Beatles Rock Band is the best music game so far because its nothing BUT the Beatles. Its got like 3 albums worth of songs. If anyone plays this game for more than a little while and says "hey im a beatles fan" i'll believe them.

[Beatleboy62]

pause at 0:17, it's creepy

[friedrice7]

He's just happy to be alive again. You would be too if you've been buried 6 feet under for the last 30 years

[Beatleboy62]

Lol, probably right!

[andyjcostello]

no, its jesus

[jacobarturo]

Lol John Lennon looks goofy lol RIP man

[Mariobrofromgametalk]

wow nobody knows the songs? they have the beatles rockband and they barely (if at all) know the beatles!

oh well i don't play these games [thank god] but i like the ad

[g4cdeye]

Whats the name of this song ?

[wakesidevision]

look at the description

[valenzuelatomas1989]

come together

[loveone789]

@g4cdeye stfu lol

[LionheartMachinima]

Y'know what would've made this better? Have Dhani Harrison act as George.

He is the spitting image of him. Exactly the same. You wouldn't have told the difference if he appeared on-screen.

[HappyGuy00000]

they should make a movie.

[strongblackman]

those are the real people and the real footage edited lol

[funkymonkeytv]

hahahaha kool

[gabereal1]

1:16......he wants revenge

[dvsskater729]

This is so sick. It's like a live version of the album cover, which is what I always wanted to experience. So awesome.

[was113]

Best commercial ever. Coincidentally, this is what Paul and George looked like when I was hanging out there. (Paul is about 5 pounds heavier here than I remember.) Ringo was without a beard a month before the album cover. I had lately been looking for photos that captured them exactly as I remembered them, and there were no photos that I could find. This is amazing computer work. (There were no crowds, either.)

[alexeats1]

dude there not look-a-likes

they got some stock footage and great computer graphics to put it all together.

damn i wish i had a ps3

[workingclassbum]

I love how the local council there are having serious problems from tourists visiting abby road and posing on that crossing!

[NSCinc]

roflmao really? XDDD

[shadowclause]

It is mostly likely due to the Beatles telling them to "come together to abbey road".

xD

[GunslingerXYZ]

John's face at 0:17 lol

I'm not too excited for this game, despite being a huge Beatles fan. I'm just not a big gamer. lol I'm more excited for the other 9.9.09 event--the remastered CDs!

[1akSherman]

9-9-09 can't wait for my copy and for the re-issues of their whole catalouge

[KOSMICKEN09]

i went into target today, and the revolver, sgt pepper and abbey road remasters were on the shelf, must of been a mistake.......

[LieAndSayForever]

In response to "royalsteven"

You should know that The Beatles Do NOT own the right's to their music. It was not them that said, "hey let's do this." In 1984 the music that ATV Music Publishing owned were sold to Michael Jackson, at the time of his passing, the rights were brought back into Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Please don't call the Beatles Sell Outs.

[crusher955]

Does anyone know what the song is called on this commercial?

[wakesidevision]

"Come Together"

[crusher955]

Thanks.

[KB24MVP4EVER]

come together

[crusher955]

Yeah, I know now. Thanks.

[ItsRecycled]

Paul, he never wore his shoes we all knew he was dead! -Johnnys Birthday Backmasked

[royalsteven]

Does every band has to sell out? I mean sex pistols, metallica,beatles? They don't make enough money? Why?

[SolidusOtacon]

Hey, Asshole, once a band signs into a contract they no longer have the rights of their own image. Therefore, whoever held the contract let this happen. Don't call the Beatles sell outs, you cock sucking faggot.

[royalsteven]

OK OK I get it. Let's see here, 'asshole... cock sucking faggot' hmm pretty nice original use of words, but my name is royalsteven ahehe. Maybe you should get some anger management :)

[maddocshpak]

wait dude. the thing i dont get is why cant there be a rockband for a band? please explain how that is selling out?

[royalsteven]

Man I don't even like these rockband/rockstar/guitar hero games at all.

[maddocshpak]

so its selling out cuz u dont like the game?

[royalsteven]

Yes what enjoi and crusher said -_-

[XxIronManxX1]

not for ps2 :( but it's gunnu be awsome <@:)

clow hat curly hair smily face

[islandgrl93]

Amazing commercial.

I can't wait till the game comes out!

The commercial looks soo real! I got so happy when i saw John laughing :)

[flako1981]

I LOVE IT!

GREAT COMMERCIAL

[guitarplayer407]

also, i wonder what ringo and paul think of this.

[Mariobrofromgametalk]

they were promoting it.

bastards

[guitarplayer407]

I don't play guitar hero, but this commercial makes me want to buy it.

[ItsRecycled]

fail...

[Mariobrofromgametalk]

me too. i was wondering if they used footage/ actore etc. i love this!

nice name too

[cayoka]

man my dad was completely amazed at this, he is a huge beatles fan and he was like omg how did they do all this this is amazing

[meinages]

its really cool the way they've used the guy in the background of the abbey road album cover. as the guy who watches the Beatles cross the road from his point of view. this video is amazing, and i'm baffled as to how they've put the footage together, im a huge Beatles fan. and i've already pre-ordered this game. i cant wait!

[Mariobrofromgametalk]

wow a "real" fan bought the game?

on the plus side, how did you know it was the guy's point of view? clever....

[meinages]

you can see the guy in the left hand side of the shot, and he's in the background of the abbey road cover. he was an American tourist in the right place at the right time. hes very lucky

[cathyherb]

Using two dead guys to sell a product. Classy.

[wakesidevision]

"Come Together"

[domeshizzni]

WHATS THE SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[jikininki1]

whats the song!!!

[Elvsdaman]

whats the name of the song?

[fly2heaven18]

kick ass commercial

[Poopercutt]

How Did They Make The People Look Like The Actual Beatles?

[enjoiboi123456789]

those are actually the real beatles not replicants

[darthpaco91]

what are you talking about

[crusher955]

The people in the commercial aren't the real beatles. John Lennon died in 1980.

[HTprods]

they used original videos of the beatles form the 60's,and using computer effects,mixed them into abbey road to create this commerical.

[crusher955]

Possibly.

[enjoiboi123456789]

i know that but they are computer generated. they got actors and modified their faces and bodies on computers.

[crusher955]

You know, if the Beatles were alive to see all this "computer generated" crap, they'd really be disappointed as to what our world has become. ESPECIALLY our music.

[bootwest3]

they are the actual beatles.

It's old photoshoot footage with the background edited.

[cayoka]

its them they used old footage with a new background

[andyjcostello]

this made me cry =(

[fadedgalaxia]

This commercial absolutely blows my mind!!!

[cathyherb]

This commercial absolutely blows.

[TonyBaileysMusic]

How does this commercial blow????

It is brilliant.

Your comment makes no sense.

[cathyherb]

You know what makes no sense? Using two dead guys to sell a product.

[stfwho]

No, that makes complete sense, as both men managed to beat time and death itself as they are still both very loved and are still a huge influence in our world. so be quiet unless you make sense.

[cathyherb]

Does anyone actually believe that the video game companies give two shits about the Beatles or what they stood (stand) for? The Rockband people don't care, they're just cashing in. Merchandising is one thing, the Beatles have been merchandised since the beginning; but decimating footage of two deceased band members for use in a commercial goes too far. It's disrespectful to George an John.

[stfwho]

no, that isnt correct. video footage of jimi hendrix was toyed with after his death to create a music video. this footage was used to promote a videogame. The videogame is to promote the beatles as well as cash in. If people buy the Beatles game it is because of the Beatles, not because of Rock Band.

[cathyherb]

A music video and a commercial are very different things. The videogame is not intended to promote the Beatles, as they are broken up and therefore do not need promotion. If anything is being promoted here it's the Rockband brand. Rockband is using the Beatles to promote its product. By making a commercial. A commercial which I reiterate is disrespectful to the people it depicts. The Beatles were and are a major positive influence on the world. Rockband eats it for shitting on them.

[stfwho]

Well, you are the ONLY person that thinks that, and I'm sure you THINK you are right, as all stubborn people do, but as this game has made countless kids AND adults love the Beatles, when they otherwise would not like them due to ignorance and obscurity, I must say this commercial promotes a videogame that promotes the Beatles. Let's see you smart-talk your way around THAT fact. I think Rock Band made a great decision with this game, and the commercial as well.

[cathyherb]

You said it yourself: "If people buy the Beatles game it is because of the Beatles, not because of Rock Band." That's exactly what I'm saying. The Rockband people know that consumers will buy any shit that says "The Beatles" on it. As for "obscurity"; really? You'd have to be from Mars to not know who the Beatles are regardless of the existence of this game. And once again, whether the game is good or bad, using dead guys in a commercial=BAD TASTE.

[stfwho]

Most people have heard of the Beatles and nearly all of them know of their famous appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, which is where I first saw them. When I first saw them I thought it was the fruitiest thing I'd ever heard or seen, 4 guys with pudding bowl haircuts and suits, singing "I wanna hold your hand". Once I saw that I became very uninterested. it was only when I became very interested in music at the age of 13 that I decided to hear Sgt Pepper's, and since then I've been hooked.

[DavesTubeName]

@cathyherb The game, and commercial, were made with the full involvement, cooperation and blessing of the remaining Beatles, as well as Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison. Today we still see commercials starring Humphrey Bogart, Elvis, John Wayne, Albert Einstein, and hundreds of others. 99% of the public does not regard them as "dead guys", but rather icons whose contributions to our culture are timeless. It is clearly in that spirit that these commercials are made. Lighten up.

[cathyherb]

@DavesTubeName Commercials advertising for-profit corporations are only made in one spirit and that spirit is the spirit of capitalism. Rockband is a terrible game anyway. Learn to play the goddamn guitar or something, I speculate it's what George would have wanted. Also, in the eyes of most Beatles fans it probably doesn't help your argument to cite Yoko's blessing of the commercial as something to bolster its integrity.

[onthebridge98]

You can believe what you want, but I think you're overreacting. It's just a commercial. And it does promote them in a way; I'm sure some of the proceeds from downloadable content sales go to the remaining members, and people who play the game are more likely to go out and buy the albums after playing the songs.

[ckinglam]

Can't Wait!!
