Rumors of Beatles “Yellow Submarine” iPod Resurface

7/11/07, 2:07 pm EST


The rumor is back that Apple will release a Yellow Submarine-themed iPod fully loaded with every Beatles album this year. According to the scuttlebutt, now that the iPhone launch is complete, the company has time to refocus its energy on rolling out the Beatles catalog iTunes and other goodies. We’ll believe it when the actual announcement is on the Apple site, but in the meantime, daydream with us: What other bands deserve a special edition iPod?

1. MCR ipods, with the logo with the guns in a circle and an MCR sighn in the middle of it, and it would be black and red

2. Sex Pistols, it would be like pink and green and black resembling the ‘Nevermind the Bollocks’ album colors

3. White Stripes!! with red and white and it would say the white stripes on the back

I think that its not a bad idea. Although that yellow color seems to be quite of place.

danailama | 7/16/2007, 11:49 am EST

I love the idea -being the beatleslover that I am- but only if t is going to be a waterproof version, as it should, so that we can listen to ‘Octopus’s Garden’ underwater.
Other groups for IPod specials, let’s see… how about They Might Be Giants, I’d love that!

welll this sounds good for my point of view, some artists that deserve a ipod special edition are Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones, Guns N’ Roses, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, The Police and many more burt really Apple will no do so much special edition ipods!!!!

Sander | 7/14/2007, 1:28 pm EST

I adore The Beatles and they are on my (Creative) MP3 player, but I’d rather choose myself which albums to put on it. By the way. I’m waiting for the remastered CD’s so I can buy and then rip them.

Poohma | 7/14/2007, 11:12 am EST

Sorry, but the themed iPod is a marketing gimmick that I refuse to fall for. When I want to listen to a group’s entire catalog, I get out my Emprex MP3 player ($15 at Fry’s), load an SD card with said music and let it play.

I am not out $300+ for a PITA player that restricts the hell out of my ability to listen to what I legally paid for and I can change content out a lot easier than with an iPod (you know, transfer all your stuff to CDs and then rip them back to MP3s in order to back your PURCHASED music up).

Corinthian Bewlay | 7/14/2007, 12:16 am EST

Also a Frank Zappa iPod as well with all 60 plus albums.

With the moustache logo from Frank Zappa Plays Frank Zappa on the wheel and the cover of Joe’s Corsage underneath with the Man from Utopia cover on the back all contained on a “red velour” type cover like the cover of Everything is Healing Nicely.

Corinthian Bewlay | 7/13/2007, 10:57 pm EST

David Bowie iPod compleat w/all foriegn to and U.S. single remixes/Ryko and Anniversary bonus trax/1964-1966 material/soundtrack songs and remixes/Christiane F.& Ziggy Stardust & Labrynth & The Buddha of Suburbia soundtracks/Bowie&Gilmour/Tin Machine I & II and Oy Vey Baby/Toy & 2. Contamination & The Man Who Fell to Earth soundtrack.

And the click-wheel could have the Heathen/Reality tours db logo on it, the back could have the Aladdin Sane lightning bolt with “David” above the bolt using the font from Diamond Dogs and “Bowie” under using the font from Heathen and the case would be gray like the Heathen cover.

Been an Archos user for so many years. Unit still running just perfect with 20 gb hd. If Ipod offers one with the Stones, i will get rid of the Archos for sure.

Brandon | 7/13/2007, 4:11 pm EST

The “pre-loaded” iPod is not possible. Your iPod by default is formatted for a Mac, but if you want to use Windows, you have to re-format it … which would delete your pre-loaded content.

Maybe a coupon comes with it to download albums… but Apple is not going to discount anything that’s for sure — Especially Beatle stuff.

the led zepp ipod could have all the albums and also the song remains the same and the led zeppelin dvd. well maybe not but it could have the 4 symbols on it and everyting.

Nine Inch Nails. Who better to have an ipod design than the band that has embraced Apple and pushed the boundaries from the beginning.

R to the E to the G | 7/12/2007, 5:23 pm EST

A Bruce Springsteen one that included not just the albums but all the B-sides & rarities.

A Pearl Jam one with all of those live albums they’ve put out would be cool for PJ fans.

A Ryan Adams one with all his albums, all of Whiskeytown’s stuff and all the goodies that will be on the forthcoming boxed set would be nice.

And this last one is about as likely to happen as George Bush suddenly joining the Democratic party, legalizing gay marriage and deciding to end the war but an iPod that contained the entire Dischord catalogue would be out of this world.

A boy can dream can’t he?

Keith | 7/12/2007, 3:52 pm EST

Maybe once Neil Young releases all his Performance Series Archives they could load an I-Pod with all of them.

Jim Baldwin | 7/12/2007, 1:35 pm EST

Remember Melanie (Woodstock 1969). She has sold over 80million albums and cds through the years. A packed full ipod of all her albums would be GREAT. Melanie has fans all over the world. She was bigger than Madonna in her day. Please bring her back cataloge back on ipod.

Lay down lay down, lay it on down again
Let your white bird smile up
At the ones who stand and frown.

How ’bout they keep they keep the fancy design and the pre-loaded music, charge me the same and give me TWICE the difference in price in free downloads? THen I’d be buying music I DON’T have.

W | 7/12/2007, 12:40 pm EST

I think a White Stripes iPod would be fun, with peppermints and stuff. There was a U2 ipod given away on the radio last year, I think. Maybe one with gold dust like Elvis’ cadillac.

bobby d | 7/12/2007, 12:30 pm EST

bob dylan edition would have gross patchy stubble and be too cool to hold.

Kay | 7/12/2007, 12:19 pm EST

A Bob Dylan one would be pretty darn cool!

Beatles Lover | 7/12/2007, 12:14 pm EST

I can’t wait until this Yellow Submarine iPod comes out! But I won’t be able to afford it anyways…I think they should make a special edition iPod for:
-Elvis Presley
-The Beach Boys (orange and yellow with the Beach Boys logo on the back)
-The Who
-Led Zeppelin
-Jimi Hendrix (Woodstock, Monterrey Pop, or ‘Are You Experienced’-Jimi Hendrix Experience logo)
-Pink Floyd
-Van Halen
-The Rolling Stones (tongue logo)
-Bob Dylan
-Prince (purple)
-The Grateful Dead
And lots more that I can’t think of right now!

musenmolly | 7/12/2007, 12:14 pm EST

Johnny Cash- all black
Because country isn’t cool anymore, do a country legends edition- Cash, Cline, Reba, Harris, Lorretta Lynn, Brooks, Brooks and Dunn, ALABAMA, Lonestar, so on and so forth.

I would totally get a White Stripes iPod. They aren’t legendary . . .yet. . .

I want an all acoustic iPod too!

And I am suprised that no one has said a Dimebag iPod yet!

Slayer? Megadeath? Grateful Dead? C’mon guys!

Timtimes | 7/12/2007, 12:08 pm EST

Dire Straits
Steely Dan

off the top of my head because I see them missing from the other lists.

If you do Zeppelin, it should have the Hindenburg or the old man from the cover of ZOSO. And they should do Zeppelin.

I already own the Beatles White Album Ipod (it’s white), with all the Beatles music on it–so I don’t need another one.

david bowie…aladdin sane bolt
white stripes…black/white with red spin wheel (although, that’s pretty close to the U2 iPod)

Winona | 7/12/2007, 10:46 am EST

Call me a pessimist, but wouldn’t those most likely to purchase this iPod already have all the Beatles music (myself included)? Will there be a cheaper version without the music preloaded?

Dean | 7/12/2007, 9:42 am EST

The “pre-loaded” thing is a great idea, but what sucks for me is… all of the bands I’m really into, I either have all or most of their albums. (All as in all of their main albums and EPs released in America.) So in a sense… I’d be buying their music again.

On another note, I’m not a Van Halen fan, but I do think that Eddie Van Halen is one of the greatest guitar players of all time! Someone on here made a suggestion that they make a Van Halen iPod, with the “Frankenstein” look from Eddie’s guitar. Dang, that’s the coolest idea I’ve seen on here so far!!! That would be REALLY tight. I’d buy it.

Ringo | 7/12/2007, 9:20 am EST

They Must include LOVE on the Beatles iPod. Who, Rush And Nirvana would be crazy good.

Banjo | 7/12/2007, 9:06 am EST

The Band!
probably not too many people would buy it, but i’d love a Band themed ipod. Maybe just brown for their second album or with the Dylan painting from “Music from big pink”!

Cyberskinny | 7/12/2007, 8:27 am EST

Big thumbs up on the Rush ipod with the 2112 logo, also KISS (for mindless fun). The Beatles ipod should also come with the complete video Anthology. A Joni Mitchell ipod would be cool with her artwork incorporated into the design…..somebody give her a call, see if she’s up for it.

Will | 7/12/2007, 8:08 am EST

The Who, with a Union Jack design, and David Bowie - the design possibilities are endless with that one…

myspace.com/goddamnidiot | 7/12/2007, 7:03 am EST

One of the keys to a pre-loaded, band themed iPod is the fact that you can implement a design. The U2 one looked really cool (even though I’m not big on U2…).
A Beatles iPod in a Yellow Submarine theme, as envisioned above, would look cool. Also, now that all iPods are video iPods, you can include the Beatles movies, like Help and A Hard Day’s Night. And even key TV appearances, like The Ed Sullivan Show.
Something you have to consider though, is the band’s fan base and, silly as it sounds, icon status. Who’s going to buy the pre-loaded T. Rex iPod? Well, I’m sure someone is… but who’s gonna buy the pre-loaded Rolling Stones iPod? A hell of a lot more someones…
Also, you have to consider who doesn’t already have an iPod, and loves music like these bands… A lot to consider, but it makes for a fun game of “How cool would that be…?”
I saw a lot of good suggestions on this list, so i’m going to redundify some of the already stated, and add some that may not have been mentioned I didn’t read all of them).
But, you’ve got to think of what it would look like, too:

Black Sabbath (the skin would have to have that demon that’s on all the Sabbath merch)

Nirvana (Blue like Nevermind, as Naked Baby said earlier)

Kiss (DUH!)

Aerosmith (Original Aerosmith Greatest Hits Cover Skin… All red and white)

Iron Maiden (Eddie on an iPod!!! Fuckin A!!!)

Pearl Jam (it wouldn’t matter what it looks like. it would be awesome)

Neil Young

Hendrix (Bold As Love skin)

AC/DC

Bruce Springsteen

Led Zeppelin

Pink Floyd

The White Stripes (because you KNOW it’d look cool. and include all the music videos.)

Prince

Bon Jovi

Beck (and include all that rare, old, out-of-print weird shit and make the skin look like the cover of Midnite Vultures)

Peter Gabriel / Genesis

Metallica

Nine Inch Nails

Ramones Have the Ramones presidential crest in the click-wheel, and engraved on the back)

Public Enemy (if for no other reason, than to put the target icon in the click-wheel)

Grateful Dead

Radiohead

Johnny Cash

Beastie Boys

Jay Z

Talking Heads

The Who

Wu-Tang Clan (include all first solo albums, the first 2 ODB albums, Killa Beez, and ALL Ghostface albums…)

Madonna

Death Row Records

All iconic shit.

Then, you have to consider the groups with rabid fan bases, whose catalogs are big enough, and whose iPod designs would be insane and awesome. Consider the possibilities of:

Manowar
Anthrax
King Crimson
Rush
Gwar
Judas Priest
Motorhead
Ween
The Smiths/Morrissey
Blur
Yes
Tool
The Velvet Underground / Lou Reed

End spiel… now.

Ryan | 7/12/2007, 12:21 am EST

I would like to see a Radiohead iPod, but i bet a Bon Jovi iPod would sell a ton. The same set of people who need their music preprogrammed are the same set of people who’d want Bon Jovi’s entire catalog. P.S. I do actually like some Bon Jovi. I just know their fan base pretty well.

naked baby | 7/12/2007, 12:16 am EST

Aside from obvious Led Zepplin and Queen ipods, Nirvana needs their own ipod. It would include the “unplugged” and “live from the muddy banks…” concerts, boxed set tunes, all three albums, and maybe even the stuff kurt recorded with william s. burroughs back in ‘92. It could be blue on the front (as in the “nevermind” cover) and maybe an engraving of the “in utero” woman on the back.

I think a Greatful Dead iPod would work well, the catalog is big enough to be a big deal and design options are limitless. Festival iPods would be cool as well, like Monterey Pop or Woodstock.

Jack | 7/11/2007, 9:46 pm EST

David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, The Ramones, and Frank Zappa are all good ideas. But the ultimate good time Ipod would have to go to AC/DC. Especially since they don’t really have an official “greatest hits” album. They could do it and only sell it as a prepackaged deal. Money talks indeed!

This is great! I hope it’s true. Jefferson Airplane deserve an ipod. Jimi Hendrix, The White Stripes, and Prince should get one too.

Rob Shef is the man! | 7/11/2007, 9:16 pm EST

Actually, and I am biased as a white stripes fan, but I’m talking strictly aesthetics here, a candy-cane striped iPod would be really freaking cool *laughs*. I have no interest in the either side of the freak-ass “white stripes are god”/ “white stripes suck” debate — I just think the candy cane striped iPod would rock.

Then again, I also think that an pod that came pre-loaded with videos of Christina Aguilera horking down corn dogs in a bikini would be a great idea too *shurgs*.

I’d like a Disturbed Ipod. Its all you’d need. You could listen to Disturbed non stop and all the while people could see your Disturbed I-Pod which would show them you are indeed disturbed. Then you could scowl at them to verify your level of disturbia.

Dean | 7/11/2007, 5:27 pm EST

Creatively Speaking, they could do something quite unique if they did one for the White Stripes, but… I don’t think they’ve “put in enough time” yet. They aren’t in that “legendary” category.

Realisticly, I would say that IF they wanted to continue to make these “Special Editions”, you’d have to go with the legendary bands/artists, that have sold the most albums over the years.

I doubt the order is right:

Elvis Presley
Led Zeppelin
Rolling Stones
Johnny Cash (The iPod is already black though…HAHA!)
Bob Dylan

All have extensive music catalog’s and would all be worthy of their own “iPod”.

excited | 7/11/2007, 5:10 pm EST

I got to get me one of those!

I think a Bob Marley one would be amazing. Hes my inspiration. It’d be red, yellow, and green, of course, with weed smoke coming out of the earphones. HAHa. I know, just kidding you guys.

It’s already been done; a U2 iPod, the original special edition iPod.

Bill | 7/11/2007, 4:49 pm EST

Pearl Jam, White Stripes, and DMB should all get an iPod.

Johnny Cash and Elvis should each have their own. Johnny’s would be black of course and Elvis’ would be shiny gold or white leather/pleather with rhinestones.

Are they going to remaster the songs? I hope so; the remastered stuff on “Love” sounds amazing.

Tie dye colored Dead Ipod.
A shimiring sequend ipod for liberace.
An ipod covered in chest hair for tom jones

Pink Floyd. It could be tie-dyed,with a lifetime battery because the owner is always nodding off, or zoning out. Great for sitting and staring. Gotta love the Floyd man.

uuuhhhggg | 7/11/2007, 3:42 pm EST

The Beach Boys or Elvis. Maybe one full of rockabilly artists.

Fred Mertz | 7/11/2007, 3:13 pm EST

Led Zeppelin (gotta do Houses of the Holy skin); The Who (gotta be Quadrophenia skinned); Jimi Hendrix (Monterey Pop skin or Woodstock); Slayer (pentagram and you’re done!) or Metallica, in pre- and post-sharkjump skins (all black or all pink, respectively); Miles Davis/ Chet Baker/ Art Baker/ Stan Getz/ etc.; Rolling Stones (gotta have that tongue skin)…

ABBA!

Jn. B. Burke | 7/11/2007, 3:03 pm EST

The only band that (ever) mattered has to be next … give me a White Riot special edition or give up altogether.

Angussssss | 7/11/2007, 3:00 pm EST

AC/DC’s new album should come out on a Back in Black iPod.

Kevin | 7/11/2007, 2:56 pm EST

How about a Prince, purple iPod?

fixtheglitch | 7/11/2007, 2:51 pm EST

The Rolling Stones deserve a special edition ipod and it should be made in the shape of the lips and tongue logo.

FABFABFAB | 7/11/2007, 2:48 pm EST

what more could one ask for??
I can NOT wait
THX
Paul/Ringo…

Rob (Detroit) | 7/11/2007, 2:41 pm EST

Oasis could have one that beats the hell out of reporters and gets you pissy drunk (shapd like a 40oz.)

Goff | 7/11/2007, 2:41 pm EST

White Stripes - Candy cane swirls

Bob Dylan - Two shades of blonde

Holden | 7/11/2007, 2:39 pm EST

Modest Mouse.

John | 7/11/2007, 2:37 pm EST

Pink Floyd!!!

Big Nate | 7/11/2007, 2:34 pm EST

They should have a Crappy Band Ipod loaded with Fall Out Boy, Nickelback, Daughtry, Creed, AFI, and Good Charlotte. It could be poop colored and sell for half of a normal ipod.

Trent | 7/11/2007, 2:31 pm EST

Bob Dylan and Rolling Stone

Eli | 7/11/2007, 2:27 pm EST

Spinal Tap!

John | 7/11/2007, 2:25 pm EST

I’d like to see a GNR Chinese Democracy iPod. Think of what an iPod will be able to do in 2023…
