Game Informer got an exclusive interview with Paul McCartney about the upcoming Rock Band Beatles game. This is a very interesting interviews, and quite funny as well. It reveals the “behind the scenes” of The Beatles : Rock Band and how Paul was convinced to develop the game along with Harmonix and MTV.

Here’s McCartney’s answer on how he was first approached about The Beatles : Rock Band
“We’re always kind of looking for ideas. Post-the actual Beatles career, what tends to happen is ideas just come in, people say, “Do you want to do a movie? You wanna do a thing? Do you want to do a show in Vegas?” So we sift those ideas, as they come to us. I believe this came to us via Dhani Harrison, who’s a gamer and he’s of the generation. So he came up in conversation, “Would you like to do a video game?” And I was like, “Yeah, how would that work? Talk to me.” He’s like, “You can do this, you can do this, we’ll call people who can do it, Harmonix and Rock Band people.”

“Yeah, let’s just see, let’s talk to them.” So it came in as an idea and I think just immediately we were interested in it. Then it was either going to be great or not, like The Love Show, like any of these other ideas. If it wasn’t a good idea, then we’d go, “We’re cool on it.” If it’s a good idea we heat up; like this one, it just got better and better.”
