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.
Paul McCartney writing music, I can understand. It's the "for Bungie" bit that makes me want to dig out my "wut" gifs. I'd expect him soundtrack a slow-paced slice of life movie, not contributing to the soundtrack of what will almost certainly be an action game.
... 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
Bravo.They call it... A Yellow Submarine.
This would be glorious. I want Randy's wry space balladry.Randy Newman would have been better
That picture. Is someone holding them hostages or robbing them?
Jazz hands.
Today is 7/7 too, and therefore Bungie Day. http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=32142
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.
We have bagels every Friday, too. Putting that shit on the back of the box!
Not sure why this isn't a thread yet, but Paul McCartney confirmed that he's composing music for Bungie.

From the Bungie Day Article:
I love Bungie's ability to joke around, even in the midst of a massive leak like that.
Edit: Just saw the picture of Marty and Paul. Haha, awesome.
Massive leak?
I wouldnt worry about it. They're not working on an album of singles. The game's score will be orchestral.
I've listened to a few early pieces from the crawl space below Marty's office, and I think it's safe to say you'll really dig this stuff. I'm a big fan of Paul and Marty and Mike's work, and when I heard the latest my body went all tingly and I couldn't stop smiling for a few days.
I'm all for the developers making the game they want to make. So if this is a creative decision they felt strongly about, good for them.
But if it's to somehow lure...fans of the Beatles?...into buying Halo...Well, I just get the feeling the only people that buy Halo at this point are Halo fans.
Gaf: Do you think Halo 4 will bring in new players? I don't...Maybe if this were a console launch or something. But this late into the game, I don't see it happening.

He lived long enough to see himself become the has-been.
Have you guys ever heard the music he does under the pseudonym Fireman? The Rushes album in particular is pretty grand. Get it "(The) fireman rushes (in from the pouring rain, very strange). It's all very experimental electronic music that seems like it could easily fit in a science fiction video game franchise...something like what Bungie might develop.
Here's a taste of that album, if you guys are interested. I think some of you might really dig it.
As a huge Beatles fan, going way back, and a huge Halo fan, I think this is a match made in heaven.
Wow get outta here with that shit. Doesn`t juniors get banned for stuff like this?All you need is love, cash and fps?
Creepy combination. Waste of money.. Kinda ironic he is supporting a game about shooting people..... :|
A Kickstarter not successfully kicking off for Ground Branch & to hear about bungie pissing money away on Paul Mcartney to compose music for a Halo rehash #72 FPS game is just another reminder what a messed up world we live in.
