While the Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises still haven’t secured rights to the Beatles catalog, it looks like things might be headed in the right direction. Rolling Stone revealed today that the upcoming Guitar Hero World Tour will feature Paul McCartney & Wings’ “Band on the Run,” marking the first time any music by any of the Beatles has appeared in a game. “Band on the Run” does feature some pretty mean licks and is a great choice; here’s hoping that the kick-ass “Jet,” “Helen Wheels,” “Junior’s Farm,” and “Pipes of Peace” get thrown in too. (Just kidding about “Pipes of Peace.”)
