The Beatles do the PS3... from beyond the grave.... ooooeerrr


This is beautiful - the Beatles Rockband outro video.

I do like a bit of Rockband, but not enough to warrant purchasing the PS3, drum kit, guitar, bass guitar or microphone necessary to play it. So I guess I'm actually saying that unless it's right in front of me at a friends place, I don't care about it.

But the new Beatles version peaked my interest. Now that I've actually seen the graphics that went into it, I like. It only makes me sad that George never lived to fully appreciate the state that computer animation and manipulation has progressed to - with the right graphic effects studio behind him, he might not have needed quite so many hallucinogens. But then again, it's probably a chicken and egg thing. Check out the video of giant poppy flowers sprouting across London while the Fab Four have a tea party on a giant elephant. Yeah - you know what I'm talking about.

BoingBoing has a full list of the video cut scenes, graphic art and other pretty things involved.

  1. Man, everywhere I turn, it's Beatles this, Beatles that. They're sell outs, and this writer was spot on :
