In the latest update for "The Beatles: Rock Band" and the preorder club, members are taken to Studio 2 at Abbey Road Studios, where the Harmonix and MTV Games staff played the virtual Beatles game in the real studio where Beatles recording sessions took place.
Josh Randall, project director for "The Beatles: Rock Band", says the crew went there with the staff of Game Informer magazine for their Beatles article. Randall recalls that the staff had been there about a year prior to meet with the game's music director Giles Martin and take pictures for the game. Randall says it was "trippy" to play a song based in Studio 2 in the game in the real location.
In an end note, Randall says the staff, with their fake Rock Band instruments, walked through a gathering of musicians from the London Symphony Orchestra.
"The irony was hilarious," he said.
Comments
I believe I was there at the time, I was outside Abbey Road Studios in July when Giles and the Harmonix guys came out from the studios. Had a quick chat with them, and yes there was filming going on as well.
