The Beatles: Rock Band to feature never-released material photo

In an interview with Billboard, Dhani Harrison -- son of Beatle George Harrison -- spills a few beans on the upcoming The Beatles: Rock Band game. Mainly that it will contain "new" material, or as he puts it, "stuff that has never been heard, never released."

Harrison, a member of thenewno2 whose first album releases on March 31, has been instrumental in making The Beatles: Rock Band a reality.

"I took the project to Apple and sort of convinced everybody to have a presentation," he said.

He says the project has been in the making for two years, calling it "historically accurate," "a real headache," but the "most enjoyable work" he's ever done. We just hope we enjoy playing it. 

The Beatles: Rock Band is set for a September 9 release. 

[Thanks, Power-Glove!]

Wha? A Beatles song that has never been heard or seen and they're releasing it on Rock Band? This sounds kind of fishy. Or maybe the Beatles are making a new song and are going to release it on the Rock Band, that's sounds more like it.

Wow, Beatles songs that haven't been released in over 40 years. They gotta be winners.

New material? I wonder how much money it cost to get new Beatles songs into the game.

Could be a "vault edition" type thing where it is just new recordings.

I'm interested, but I was already going to buy the game anyway.

Don't the Beatles magically dig up a never-released song every decade or so?

It could be some stuff from that massive cache of old recordings they found in somebody's attic a few years back. Beatles tracks that never made it to release turn up from time to time, but you have to rememeber that if they didn't make it onto the albums, they aren't really grade A material...

That first line looks like it would be REALLY HARD on expert guitar :)

If Tupac can release half a dozen post-mordem albums I think we can give the Beatles a break when they dust off an old never-ran.

Dhani Harrison looks so much like his dad, it's eerie. i was wondering who was the driving force behind the making of this game. and unheard + unreleased beatles stuff ? makes it more interesting though i doubt i'll get the game. where would i store the equipment ?
