McCartney wants Beatles songs are downloadable

Paul McCartney wants the Beatles songs are available for downloading from the Internet, says in an interview with the magazine New Musical Express (NME) issued on Wednesday, coinciding with the release remastered discs Group Liverpool.

The music of the legendary band has long been absent from the official websites of music downloads over the net, but McCartney expects output to the sale of the computer game "The Beatles: Rock Band" is the first step to "get around this situation" .
The game also will be available this Wednesday and, according to the bass and composer of the Beatles, will serve not only to legally download songs from the quartet, but to bring their music to younger generations.

McCartney EMI blamed the delay for downloads, "something we like to do because this is the way in which a lot of people get their music."
The game "Rock Band" is the first step: "I always like this, when you say you can not do something and suddenly there is a small way to the back.

In the fortieth anniversary of his separation, "The Beatles: Rock Band" comes to market with 45 tracks and a price between 60 and $ 250, depending on virtual instruments, guitars and drums, which are acquired.

The emergence of the Liverpool group in the world of consoles is one of the most anticipated events of the year in the sector, as we noted at the last E3 video game trade show held in Los Angeles (United States) in early June .
The product presentation was supported by McCartney and Ringo Starr and the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison, baptized as "shareholders" in the musical scene.

All four have closely followed the development of the game, which was produced by MTV Games and Harmonix as a personalized edition of the hit songs from all four of Liverpool based on existing game "Rock Band".The game gives the opportunity to play and sing Beatles songs in five of the most symbolic scenes of the group's career, and success or blunder affects the player's marker, which may also demonstrate their knowledge in a questionnaire on the trajectory of the quartet.

In his interview with NME, McCartney says he has not played yet, but when they participated in any demonstration has found that "it seems difficult."
In its 67 years, acknowledges that it has always been slow with technology - "mobile phones seemed flashy at first, but when I got one I thought 'this is good'" - but believes there is a moment in which " or you adapt to modern life or not you adapt. "

"So I'm not a dinosaur. Probably I resist most of the trends until they think 'I'll try', and this thing of 'Rock Band' is something, I am not a video game player," he explains.
Sir Paul understood that the purists do not look good that the music of the Beatles is part of a game, but believes that "Rock Band" will make the better known younger group.

"It will get the Beatles music to people who might not have ever heard, because they are playing all the time, not listen to the radio and have no record collection," he says.
