I guess with all the DLC out there, they don't really need to release a new version. #thewhorockband

Now the Doors, that would make sense, and be cool. So if the holy grail of Zeppelin continues to not be available then I think U2 makes more sense at this point(not having any songs in any music game).
I say just go for the 'Tickling the Ivories" edition of Rock Band, giving alot of people what they want...piano/keyboard. And yes, I'm cool with it even if it means Billy Joel on RockBand (shut up, just because you don't like Joel doesn't mean he doesn't have good music that would be fun to play). #thewhorockband

In all honesty, the only bands I can see them giving The Beatles: Rock Band treatment are Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. No one else is legendary enough (and hard enough to get permission to release DLC for) or have the mass appeal. #thewhorockband

The Who isn't that great anyway. Yeah, I said it. #thewhorockband

I get the feeling that this isn't a series of band titles, but rather HMX's 2010 approach to the Track Packs they frequently release.
The first two they sold (Volume 1 and Volume 2) were compilations of 20 different popular songs from a variety of artists and genres.
Then they released three genre themed packs (Classic Rock, Country, Metal) containing a mix of old DLC and new content.
Since we've seen they're willing to include new content on Track Packs now, I wouldn't be surprised if in 2010 they sell a few Track Packs that center around certain bands.
Namely, Pearl Jam...Green Day...and The Who. #thewhorockband

Since it's known Moon started using two bass drums and a lot of the songs feature a lot of bass drum usage it would be a new feature for inclusion.
I wouldn't look forward to purchasing a whole new kit though; no matter how much I love The Who. #thewhorockband

This statement makes no sense - burning books, for example, IS a freedom of expression. And it didn't stop anyone from writing the book; it had to be written and published in order to be burned.
I get the point he was trying to make, I just think he went a weird way about it. #thewhorockband

By destroying the book your denying it, stopping people from reading it, generally because you disagree with it.
Google Nazi's, something should pop up. #thewhorockband

And a TV network's board of censors aren't censors at all? It's all a lie! #thewhorockband

edit: Obviously theres more than one example of book burning but I chose this one as its the most recent one that comes to mind.
For those who may be wondering the church that chose to burn these books was the North Carolina Church, they burnt bibles that werent thier standard King James version, Here's a link to the article [rawstory.com]

They're idiots, don't get me wrong, but they're expressing an opinion. #thewhorockband
10/27/09
Edit: And sorry, just because someone is expressing an opinion, it doesnt mean that opinion cant lead to censorship.
If I have my own TV network, and its my opinion that shows shouldnt have swear words in, so I bleep out these words, thats censorship, just because it was my opinion they shouldnt have swear words it changes absolutely nothing.
It was the Hitlers opinion that people shouldnt read Jewish literature, so was it not censorship that the Nazis burnt so many books? By all means, it was their right, they were in power afterall.

I notice how you picked that out because you had an arguement against it but not the harry potter analogy.
You dont have a leg to stand on saying that trying to stop people reading something is somehow not censorship.
It may be protest, it may be just in the eyes of the burner, but its censorship all the same. #thewhorockband

If this is the case then we might not get RB3 next year, instead just getting a new, different band title each year whose content isn't exportable to other RB titles.
They are going to run out of bands pretty quickly though, and I don't know of any that would have as much widespread appeal as the Beatles.
Well, until we hear more I guess I'll be in the 'just give us another Who 10-pack of DLC instead' camp. #thewhorockband

But yeah, a lot of the tracks have been released as DLC. Still, there are many more greats that have not been used.
Also, how much will it be? ONE HUNDRED ENGLISH POUNDS?! I want it, I want it. You caaaan't have it!
