Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

The Beatles have always been one of if not the biggest band in rock history. This year, however, they're making their presence known in a big way. And it's all happening on 9/9/09.
First you've got The Beatles: Rock Band which will introduce the Beatles to throngs of young kids who may not yet be familiar with the Fab Four and their tunes yet. This could be the game that puts Rock Band over the top and makes it the dominating guitar game.

Aerosmith is Old

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Now don't get upset. I'm just stating an actual fact. I'm not denying that they are one of America's favorite bands. They've given us many songs to remember them by and a ton of incredible live shows...but these guys are falling apart in front of us.
