"We definitely would like to be in there"...
Despite initial discussions with MTV Games and Electronic Arts (makers of the Rock Band video game) breaking down, U2 may follow in The Beatles' footsteps by having their own version of the Rock Band video game.
An initial deal wasn't reached because of what bassist Adam Clayton called "compromises" they wouldn't agree to.
"We definitely would like to be in there," Clayton said. "But we felt some of the compromises weren't what we wanted. That could change. I love the idea that that's where people are getting music and we'd love to be in that world. We'll figure something out."
Renewed enthusiasm for the game came after seeing the Beatles' version of Rock Band: "What The Beatles have done, where the animation is much more representative of them, is what we're interested in, rather than the one-size-fits-all animation. We didn't want to be caricatured," Clayton said.
