Not sure why this isn't a thread yet, but Paul McCartney confirmed that he's composing music for Bungie.

[Ein Bear]

They call it... A Yellow Submarine.

 

[Lazlo Woodbine]

Lets hope you're not singing on this, eh Paul.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Oh that's interesting... a-whaaaaaatttttttttttt?

 

[Little Old Man]

Yellow Spacemarine?

 

[Hero of Legend]

Has Paul and Ringo ever done music together since the Beatles split and well, you know about the other two.

 

[Red Blaster]

SIMPLY

HAVING

A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME

 

[YoYo Switch]

he's composing the fight with the scarab

which is another name for beetle

do you see where im headed with this

 

[Phanatic8390]

Hasn't the world seen enough of silly game songs?

 

[Row]

money drying up?

I'm pretty sure Paul has said that since they split, they stay in touch, but they've just grown in different directions. (though I don't really know)

SIMPLY

HAVING

A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TIME

I would like to point out that that song is fucking awesome and I love hearing it on Xmas morning walking into the living room.

 

[FyreWulff]

Yep.

 

[OverHeat]

Mmm
Bungie= Paul Mccartney
343i= Neil Davidge

UK win?

 

[Stinkles]

Today is 7/7 too, and therefore Bungie Day. http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=32142

 

[davepoobond]

just for stuff to play in their office? oh well, at least its not in a game. i'd really be mad then.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I assume Paul isn't writing anything aggressive.

 

[Biscuits]

What the.

Spoiler

Bungie working on next Guitar Hero confirmed

 

[snoopeasystreet]

But enough about us. This is not the time for us to elaborate on our work in progress, either. You’ve already been treated to 27-pages of the most unexpected and innovative marketing since I Love Bees.

hahaha. nice one, bungle.

 

[Ryce]

money drying up?

He has a net worth of about $1 billion. He probably just wants to keep busy with something.

 

[The Big Rig]

Seems like a very odd pairing, based on most of Bungie's work. Sounds like they're doing something radically different.

 

[davepoobond]

What the.

Spoiler

Bungie working on next Guitar Hero confirmed

more like Guitar Loser.

 

[Data West]

Randy Newman would have been better

 

[Damon Bennet]

 

[Storm Prelude]

All of my wut.

 

[K.Jack]

Great way to increase your developmental spending for a bullet point.

 

[RaffAO]

Who would have thought that he could become an even more tragic figure?

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I guess Bungie's finally earned their Wings.

 

[Vire]

What's with the lack of respect for Paul?

Dude is a living legend. I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

Marty hasn't let me down yet.

 

[Neuromancer]

Haha cool

 

[SomeOneInaHat]

Marty and Paul?

*Swoons*

 

[Visualante2]

We have bagels every Friday, too. Putting that shit on the back of the box!

 

[Bombadil]

Marty hasn't let me down yet.

He lived long enough to see himself become the has-been.

 

[thefro]

A decent amount, actually

And Macca hasn't lost it, the stuff he did as The Firemen is nuts. He just needs someone to tell him that some of his stuff sucks.

 

[deepbrown]

They call it... A Yellow Submarine.

Paul didn't write that song

 

[Mariolee]

Paul didn't write that song

That's what I was thinking.

 

[Vire]

Yes because Korn is completely comparable to Paul McCartney.

For fuck sake...

 

[hachi]

more like Guitar Loser.

Not sure if that's a jab at Paul or not, but I'll use it as an excuse to say that McCartney was in fact the most talented guitarist of the Beatles (well, and pianist, bassist, possibly even drummer at times, but that's another topic). There are the obvious reference points like Good Morning Good Morning, but lately I've been enjoying the sounds of his bouncy fills on Another Girl.

But I cannot fathom how his work will play out in the context of a video game.

 

[Ryce]

Paul didn't write that song

I'm pretty sure he did. Most of it, anyway.

 

[Data West]

I bet you more of the Halo crowd knows who Korn is than Paul.

 

[Ushojax]

 

[hachi]

Paul didn't write that song

I might be missing the joke, but if you're referring to Yellow Submarine from Revolver, he certainly did.

 

[deepbrown]

I'm pretty sure he did. Most of it, anyway.

My bad. Was just sung by Ringo.

 

[Zia]

I bet you more of the Halo crowd knows who Korn is than Paul.

Stop it. :'(

 

[NM0dz]

Paul didn't write that song

... or, in another more accurate way, yes. Paul DID write that song, he just didn't sing the lead (ringo did).

I don't really dig much of Paul's latest stuff, but the things he did with the Beatles were phenomenal. let's hope he's forced to collaborate as it's when he writes his best (unless it's with michael jackson, but i think we're pretty safe at this stage)

edit: beaten like i owe money

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Paul was brilliant with the Beatles and some of his Wings stuff even, but holy shit has that guy's music gone downhill. I mean, really bad.

 

[olimpia84]

Next Halo game to feature the frog song

 

[Tashi]

Paul looks like he has a gun pointed at him lol

Looking forward to hearing more about this.

 

[GamerVoice]

Hope this is strictly for promotional materials.

For the game itself, Paul McCartney wouldn't be in Marty's league.

 

[gdt]

He lived long enough to see himself become the has-been.

I'm not sure hes a has been. He still sells out anywhere he performs, easily. His last few albums have been well received too. He was also in the public eye tons in the last 3/4 years.
