Zero Punctuation: Beatles Rock Band and Guitar Hero 5

[existenceisrelative]

This game is exactly what it's like to make music. Once you've had a stroke and start trying to play the broom in the corner.

[VinnyVanYiffy]

well he just perfectly described my New Years party

[VegemiteSamich]

three me's and a girl me. Hahaha!

[shadowhexogram]

It seems to me that rock band and guitar hero are pretty much a dead fad.

[KatamariParadox]

Gotta love the way he says 'Bowie.'

[lilsquirt1995]

1:55 Voice crack

[MintMovies]

@BareBandSubscription Ah, yes, Revolution 9.. a great source for sound effects!

I'm not joking. In one of our high school plays, we used segments of that track.

[animebattlemage]

I really need to piss BUT JUST ONE MORE EPISODE OF ZERO PUNCTUATION

[superskeetospro]

I hardly agree with this guy on any game... (Or I've never played and can't comment on :B)... but I love his reviews....

HOW DOES HE DO IT.

[Hesusio]

Meh, Beatles are ok for what they are, but extremely over hyped. They're like the Halo of 60's music.

[SeCONdagenda1]

@Hesusio I shouldn't even make a comment on this, you wouldn't comprehend simple education, or halo for that matter.

[Hesusio]

@SeCONdagenda1 Of course. My opinion on a rather subjective topic differs from yours, therefore I "wouldn't comprehend simple education". If it makes you feel better, you just keep telling yourself that.

[SeCONdagenda1]

@Hesusio Your comparing the MOTHER-FUCKING-BEATLES to HALO. Can you not see the illogic here? it's not "rather subjective" it's common taste. Although I would say "for what they are" there was a lot more 60's music that's just as incomparable.

[Hesusio]

@SeCONdagenda1 I find them both to me quite mediocre and horribly over hyped. Unless you can find something objectively wrong with that statement (no, "common taste" is not a valid answer), then I can't help but conclude that my comparison is apt.

[SeCONdagenda1]

@Hesusio i'm 15 years old, perhaps I'm just precocious for liking the Beatles. how old are you? 4? 5?

[Hesusio]

@SeCONdagenda1 21 actually. That said, what does age have to do with the matter at hand?

[SeCONdagenda1]

@Hesusio mental maturity, if you understood my last comment.

[Hesusio]

@SeCONdagenda1 I think you're missing the point. I'm not saying I have a problem with Beatles fans, just that I think they're overrated. I know it's a subtle difference, but still worth noting all the same.

[SeCONdagenda1]

@Hesusio wow I need to go bed. the Beatles are what they are... a foundation of music. probably influenced by LSD but I'm not gonna go there

[BareBandSubscription]

@Hesusio There are plenty of ways of having an opinion and remaining objective. The Beatles are perhaps the single most influential musical group of their generation. They showed a stronger evolution in their music than any band I can think of. Subjectively, you can simply not like their music. To call them "overhyped" or "overrated" in such a declarative manner is ignorant of the necessity to realize what they did for music. It's very dim to judge anything without understanding it.

[Hesusio]

@BareBandSubscription I don't know, some of their later stuff was truly awful. Revolution 9 for example. What the fuck were they thinking?

[BareBandSubscription]

@Hesusio "Revolution 9" was just an example of John Lennon's experimental phase, which was undeniably hit-or-miss. A good example of his experimentation working well would be something like the outro to "I Want You (She's So Heavy)". The White Album is full of weird shit and is fairly disjointed, but it's probably the best example of each member's evolution (save for Ringo, the twat). "Revolution 9" is only a speck of excrement on their shining second half.

[mr8corvette]

the beatles arent classic rock. led zeppelin is classic rock

[barkyindustries]

@mr8corvette STFU NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB

[SAFEpanki27]

@barkyindustries You're a retard.

[barkyindustries]

@SAFEpanki27 You  mentally deranged brethren?

You mentally deranged?

[TheMustardPimp]

@mr8corvette ^this

[TwinUzis]

I've never been a fan of The Beatles. I consider Hey Jude to be decent, as well as... Well, no, I don't really like any more of their songs.

[RawSwedishMeatball]

Top comments always ruin the best jokes Yahtzee has in the video...

DAMN YOU ALL!!!

[Gasoline85]

2:32 - ROFL

[RaderizDorret]

Yahtzee was a bit slow to the punch when he talked about keyboard sections being passed of as guitar segments in GH. GH3's Through the Fire and Flames has you playing the keyboard section in the opening insanity. The actual guitar part for that bit of the song is the power chords you hear in the background.

[BorisJ98]

Everyone needs a slash.

The first guy was slash from Guns and Roses.

[SandvichPlox]

I'm pretty sure that "Help!" was in the game, or am I just missing something here?...

[PuffBunny1]

@SandvichPlox He's talking about the individual song, songs from 'Help!' the album were on it. "Help!" wasn't actually on it.

[Ketorulz]

@SandvichPlox Help and Let It Be are NOT in the game. And since DLC is completely discontinued in Beatles Rock Band, all we can hope for is Harmonix being nice and adding them to REGULAR Rock Band DLC.

[troggdorthesecond]

Wheel of Babies! XD

[VoltageTripwire]

@Cds56 ... Well spotted. =P

[Hatricide]

I always feel my eyesight becomes stagnant when unchallenged!

[cco43]

2:44 Yahtzee's idea of a normal guitar is a bass.

Good man Yahtzee, good man.

[BlackLeather92]

Well maybe I don't want to give to charity! Maybe it's against my personal philosophy to acknowledge there is good in human beings !

Ah, Yahtzee, you hilarious misanthropic bastard...

[Cds56]

....2:03!!! HE HAS A VOICE CRACK. "REd and GREEN lampshades"

[LexiceLuigi]

Beatles are the best and I now want your babies.

[Dearhunter43]

I <3 The Beatles

[KingChayle87]

Apparently, I drink rubbing alcohol and rape cats. If Yahtzee says it, it must be true....

[SeCONdagenda1]

@KingChayle87 I'd say it's true.

[monkeyfire5]

WHEN THE FUCK WILL STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN BE IN A GUITAR HERO??? oh, never because they stopped making guitar hero. Maybe led zeppelin rock band?

[JohnnyKvatch]

1:01 is that nostalgia critic?

[TheTrueKir]

@JohnnyKvatch That looks nothing like him.

[JohnnyKvatch]

@TheTrueKir well he is a cartoon. he has got his glasses and goatee. all that's missing is his hat and tie

[TheTrueKir]

@JohnnyKvatch so, Gordon Freeman = Nostalgia critic?

[JohnnyKvatch]

@TheTrueKir hehe no Gordon freeman doesn't wear a hat. or have an addiction to prescription pills

[Applesauzified]

Jimi hendrix extracted his revenge, but Bowie interupted the glory. For shame Bowie. For shame.

[SalmonelaKid]

Hahah

Oh and The Beatles FTW !

[TechUnadept]

Guitar hero is... ONE MASSIVE QUICK-TIME EVENT!!!!!

[SuperSmashDolls]

@TechUnadept Fuck, Nintendo is better at rhythm games then GH now.

[digitalzues13]

@TechUnadept you seem to forget that yahtzee thinks QTE,s are only good unless they are a key part of gameplay.

[TechUnadept]

@digitalzues13 I think you mean "not good unless they are a key part of gameplay"

[AnnoyanceHazard]

@TechUnadept Dun dun duuuuuuuuuun!

[Thegreatwario383]

@TechUnadept By that logic, all rhythm games are quick-time events...

Gasp! 0.0 How did we miss it?

[mrangryface98]

@TechUnadept HOLY SHIT I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE!

[jamsl1999]

@TechUnadept no it's 2000

[ToonFightFan]

@TechUnadept

lol true but its what you want and expect! If the next guitar is mostly brown with chest high walls then were in trouble!

[eggertstwart]

@TechUnadept no.

[ShadowScorpios]

@eggertstwart It's made of millions of miniature quick-time-events.

[eggertstwart]

@ShadowScorpios A little more accurate, but only the first time you play through a given song.

[wealthee]

hilarious like always!
