U2 Want Their Own Version Of 'Rock Band', Just Like The Beatles

They hope to strike a deal...

U2 Want Their Own Version Of 'Rock Band', Just Like The Beatles Add to My Fav Bands List

U2 say that they would love their own version of the video game Rock Band, just like The Beatles.

Bassist Adam Clayton explained that the Irish group previously held talks with Rock Band game makers MTV Games and Electronic Arts but a deal couldn't be reached.

However, speaking to USA Today, the 49-year-old said he was optimistic they could forge a deal in the future.

He said: "We definitely would like to be in there, but we felt some of the compromises weren't what we wanted.

“That could change. I love the idea that that's where people are getting music and we'd love to be in that world. We'll figure something out."

Clayton said they had a change of heart as soon as they saw The Beatles Rock Band.

"What The Beatles have done, where the animation is much more representative of them, is what we’re interested in, rather than the one-size-fits-all animation. We didn't want to be caricatured," he added.
