Paul McCartney reckons his late former bandmates George Harrison and John Lennon would have been "amused" by the Beatles version of the 'Rock Band' game which is unleashed on the world tomorrow.
Speaking to The Observer about the Beatles-themed pretend-to-play game Macca said: "For us, let's remember that the central thing is our music is getting played. That's the bottom line. I'm sure John and George would have thought, 'Hey, what a clever idea'". He admitted to being a little cynical about the 'Rock Star' concept at first, but added that the team behind the game had been respectful to the band's legacy and image.
Meanwhile, Yoko Ono has also agreed that Lennon would have approved of the Beatles game. She told reporters: "It will inspire and encourage the young generation to be intimately involved in music making. You can't ask for more. It will be another musical revolution created by The Beatles to make our planet a planet of music". I think it will encourage a younger generation to actually be involved in pretend music making, but then a pretend planet of music is probably enough.
