The Beatles

In my history class we were talking about a European arms treaty, and my teacher started the lecture with "20 years ago today, Gorbachev taught the band to play". Nobody got the reference but me :D

/copied from the community thread

:lol: I wish my teachers were like that, mine are more like the ones from the Wall.

[DeusExMachina]

Hey everyone, I'm back. Too lazy to read all the posts I missed, I'm sure it was all fascinating.

I hate it when I'm the only one who gets that sort of thing

Deus, I think the last page back was pretty interesting :wave:

[GeorgeHarrison]

Hey does anyone know who plays the guitar solo in Taxman I have always it was Paul and that's what it has said in some other things I've seen but I was reading a book that about all their recording sessions and they usually say when the lineup of who plays what changed but they didn't say anything. But I also saw on this thing from a site that says George played the Lead guitar but Paul played the Guitar solo and bass. :confused:

Im not sure, but i think what you got there is right.

[Sgt._Joker]

^^ i'm not sure either, i know george wrote the riff tho because i read or heard somewhere that he based the riff on the "Batman" theme song

:lol: thats really funny man.

[pigonthewing82]

You know I'm really starting to get into their song Get Back. I think that has some of the most catchy lyrics of all time.

[bcf717]

Hey Walrus... I care about 'Rain.' -- John is quoted as saying he was drunk )I'm sure translates to high) at home in the evening and trying to listen to the day's sessions on tape. Using the old reel to reels he accidentally put the tape on backwards and loved what he heard. That was the birth of their psychedelic sound.

Has anyone heard Ringo's new album?

[DeusExMachina]

Has anyone heard Ringo's new album?

No. Is it good?

[bcf717]

No, I haven't yet. Definitely will though. Speaking of Ringo, I remember earlier in this thread a lot of discussion on individual talent and musicianship of the four, with Ringo regarded as having the least.

I don't consider that the case. Bands with longevity enjoy that status as a result of all members being distinctive yet blending properly with their 'mates to get the band's unique distinctive sound. Would the Beatles have made their mark with interchangeable drummers? I doubt it.

John was the consummate lyricist. Always on the cutting edge, once the Beatles were world established, his leadership took the band to their next level, -- from pop phenomenon to spokes-band for social change. Solo, his lyrics were the essence of his music.

Paul was the melody machine. His use of the bass as an essential element of the song (play a Beatle song without Paul's bass lines and it's not a Beatles song anymore), defined what we think of as the 'Mersey Beat.' Often during his solo career, he is dismissed as be being too poppy and sugary. Love him or hate him, the man can almost write music on demand and his catalogue is unbelievably immense. And face it, popish or not, chances are you'll be humming it for the rest of the day as you can't get it out of your head.

George as the soloist define the band's sound. Never rushed a solo. When John would solo, you could sometimes hear a bit of a rush on it, never with George. George's leads became the yardstick for how we judge leads since.

Ringo, steady and versatile WAS the 'Mersey Beat.' True, he wasn't a vocalist and only stuck to percussion, but his use of that percussion added more to the uniqueness of the 'Beatle sound' than a lot give credit for. Even early on, he would use cymbal, cowbell, wood block or tambourine to create the texture of the song. Later songs like 'Come Together' are not the same without his 'texturing.'
I've seen Ringo with his All Star Band live several times, and when he's at the mic, it does become somewhat of a 'Beatles cover.' Once he sits behind the skins, no matter which All Star bandmate's song is being played, there is a difference that is definitely Ringo.

Picture if Keith Moon was the Beatles' drummer. Or Charlie Watts drumming for the Kinks. Ringo working for the Stones..... Musically it just doesn't work. Bands that make to the top and stay there do so because they are fortunate enough to find the right mix of musicians. Beatles, Stones, the Who, etc, all own their 'sound' to the luck of finding the right personalities who work complimentary to each other. There 'sounds' are often imitated, but never mastered by other bands. Ringo was no exception.

good post. also, i know it was a hypothetical situation but i think charlie watts would would have worked with the beatles. hes a bit swingier than ringo but he could have pulled it off.

[DeusExMachina]

Watts definitely could've worked with The Beatles. Charlie Watts is amazing.

[whatduffhuck7]

in my neighborhood, there having a march madness, like the ncaa basketball tourny, but with bands. started with 64 bands and you voted online. the final 2 bands are led zeppelin, and the beatles. really really hard choice, but id have to go with led zeppelin.

[Walrus Gumboot]

No. Is it good?


It's not what you'd expect, it's pretty newish, with a bunch of musicians known as "The All Starr Band" play for Ringo who sings and plays drums (I think...)

It's pretty fun, Ringo sounds like an old crooner

[bcf717]

All right! This is fun again! Of course I was speaking in context of the course of musical history as we know it. Maybe in some comic book parallel dimension Jagger hooked up with Lennon instead of Pauly and music history took on a whole different direction. The Beatles as we know them would be a stretch to imagine Mick screamin' out 'I Am The Walrus.' Don't get me wrong -- I think it would be great to hear Mick tackle the Walrus. That'd be one 'ell of a cover, I'm sure. Also I ain't diss'n ol' Charlie. I think he's great.

[bcf717]

Ringo and his All Star Band albums and show are kind of like the 'best of' from past music's top acts. He grabs musicians and mixes and matches them as he travels with the show from city to city. Heavy on nostalgia, that's the way he wants it, and he doesn't pretend to be anything else but good old lovable Ringo playing with other greats on stage. In the past he's played with Todd Rundgren, Gary Booker, Jack Bruce, Simon Kirke, Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Dave Edmunds, Nils Lofgren, Joe Walsh, Burton Cummings (Guess Who) and quite a few more. His shows are always like, 'wow, it's Ringo! -- and look who he's got with him.' Great fun.

Also which new album are you talking about? Except for anthologies, the last one I heard was the from the 2003 tour.

[DeusExMachina]

Is the All Starr Band on tour now? I'd love to see him live.

[EightMilesHigh]

Did anyone buy George Harrison's "Brainwashed" album (the last one he did before he died)? That's a great album.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

So, I finally saw Concert for George and I was amazed by the whole thing.

i have it now. its awesome. maybe even better than all things must pass.

also concert for george is great as well. kind of wish i had the dvd.

That's in my neighborhood too :eek:

[DeusExMachina]

I'm fairly certain I have Brainwashed. I like it.

[Seafroggys]

I saw the All Starrs in 2001. **** great show!

Didn't really care for a lot of the acts with him, but Greg Lake....wow......when I heard Lucky Man, I was wowed beyond belief.

And the drum solo Sheila E did on the timbales....

Yeah, it was a great show.

I wish I saw 1997.....Jack Bruce, Peter Frampton, and the lead singer for Procul Harum......that's worth dying for. Luckily I have it on DVD.

[Sgt._Joker]

:lol: thats really funny man.

..... its true tho,

[darkkeeper9]

What's everyone's favourite Beatles guitar solo?


And your Bird can sing - Revolver

Amazing Amazing!

[Sgt._Joker]

yer that is one ****ing awesome guitar solo, the guitar riffs for the whole thing is awesome..

[IAJP]

You haven't heard the story behind that?
George actually played the solo slow and it was speeded up...

[Walrus Gumboot]

I will put it on my list of albums to buy/mooch along with Aoxomoxoa or however one would go about spelling it

What's up with Paul's tour?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I want Paul to tour again.

[Butch Walker]

Did anyone buy George Harrison's "Brainwashed" album (the last one he did before he died)? That's a great album.

I did, I love it. It was constructed from demos and early recordings by his son and Jeff Lynne(I think.) They did a phenomenal job, it's a really good album. "Marwi Bluesa"(If I can remember it right) is a great track, the guitar solo. Any Road, Pisces Fish and the title track are all wonderful tracks too.

[eghed]

Yes I think it's quite good. I also have Brainwashed witch is also good but I wouldn't say better than All Things Must Pass. :cool:

The great thing about Ringo is that he is so steady and never messes. He certainly can't do what someone like Keith Moon does but he is a very good drummer who works very well with the beatles. I heard them doing a really fast early version of Get Back where John is singing lead. John doesn't know it that well so at one point he comes in too early and Ringo being the drummer that he is covers John up with this great fill. That's when I realized he was great. ;)

[z-man]

Did anyone buy George Harrison's "Brainwashed" album (the last one he did before he died)? That's a great album.

I did! an amazing album under the circumstances: he likely knew he was dying and yet embarked on the album and included his son, Dhani. What I find most intriguing is that despite his progressive battle with cancer, the album is probably the most upbeat, relaxed, and musically pleasing of his entire solo career. Perhaps, as he faced his mortality, he no longer felt he had to indoctrinate the world with his religious convictions through his music. On the other hand, perhaps having Jeff Lynne around to both play and produce the album helped chip away at the wall of sound that tended to surround most of George's prior solo albums....burying his self-professed weak voice under layers of insturmentation that tended to drown out his earlier work.

I believe that from top to bottom it is by far his best solo album.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Jesus, we let this thread fall to page 4.

Happy first post person above me...

I got a new icon, (as discussed in CR thread)

[Woodstock]

Yes, awesome avatar MYR.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

So, what's your favorite Beatles album and era?

Mine'll have to be a toss up between Let It Be, Abbey Road, and Sgt. Peppers.

The Let It Be era of the Beatles was my favorite, even though they were on the verge of breaking up.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Must I keep bumping this thread?

Jesus.

[Distant Echoes]

Not many beatles fans...

Its been a long time since i got a beatles album, let alone listened to one. I forgot i owned Yellow submarine for two months until yesterday

[Drum_and_Bass_Guy89]

My fav beatles album is probbaly Sgt.Peppers

[Skyler]

Has anyone bought the Concert for George DVD/CD ? I saw it on TV, it was pretty awsome. Ringo, Paul, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, Ravi Shankar, and a bunch of others got together to do a George Harrison tribute concert.

favorite album is probably abbey road. like completely through, i can listen to it without skipping songs. because is so badass.

[pigonthewing82]

My fav beatles album is probbaly Sgt.Peppers

From time to time that one is my favorite, right now Magical Mystery Tour is number one, whitch is a first.

[blue3]

Right now my favorite is Abbey Road

[MalcolmYoungRock]

The only song I can't stand on Let It Be is Dig It.

It's just....weird.

Who knows what they say at the end when they do the high pitched voice.

I thought they said "Now Georgy Worgy will do, All Things Must..." and it just cuts off there. Which leads me to believe that All Things Must Pass might have been on Let It Be, but didn't make the cut.

But then again, I don't know.

[Ulysses]

Right now my favorite is Abbey Road

Agreed, I really enjoy listening to every song on the album. My favourite was Revolver and before that Sgt. Peppers for a while but I'm back into Abbey Road as my number one once again.

[Seafroggys]

Yes, there were a lot of things done during January 69 that wasn't recorded until later. All Things Must Pass being one of them, also several Abbey Road tunes (Octupus' Garden, Maxwell's, etc.).

What really surprised me was listening to the bonus CD with Let it Be....Naked, there's this one part that John starts playing this one piano part that strikes me the moment the first chord hit....the opening chords to imagine. Two and a half years before the album was released.

[magicbus]

I really like Sgt. Peppers. I've also been listening to Abbey Road a lot, but I think Sgt. Peppers is still my favorite.

[Schyma]

Call me crazy but "Revolution 9" is probably my most listined to song off the White Album.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

It's so awsome to listtin to hi. :smoke:

NP: Revoltion 9

[Modestbob]

My favorite album currently is Magical Mystery Tour. But my favorite song currently is "Im Just Sleeping", it is such a good song. My favorite album for the longiest time was Revolver. But MMT and Rubber Soul have overtaken Revolver.

You mean that Fly On The Wall bonus CD? I never noticed that.

[Schyma]

Is "Fly on the Wall" any good?

[Woodstock]

Not really, just sounds of the band recording and arranging things. John tells a few jokes and that's about it.

[magicbus]

Did you guys read about (in the CD manual) how after the final chord on A Day In The Life, John wanted some high pitched noise in there? If you did, can you explain why?

[Woodstock]

Just to get more publicity for the album probably. Putting crazy myths around an album is a great way to increase album sales.

[JamesPatrickPageZoSo]

My favorite album currently is Magical Mystery Tour. But my favorite song currently is "Im Just Sleeping", it is such a good song. My favorite album for the longiest time was Revolver. But MMT and Rubber Soul have overtaken Revolver.

great song

yeah, after i posted i hit myself in the head when i noticed it.

[Seafroggys]

You mean that Fly On The Wall bonus CD? I never noticed that.

Yep....its hard to find, as there's no tracks on that CD. But on the song list in the back of the CD booklet you'll find a track titled 'John's piano piece', its 18 seconds long. Something little, but it blew my mind because I didn't even expect it, seeing how its my favorite song.

[JamesPatrickPageZoSo]

cant get any beatles/lennon/wings/mccartney songs on itunes

[Leper]

Hmm...that song isn't as unlikeable as people make it out to be, as I never skip it, which I do with songs which I just don't get, but I would never listen to it out of the context of the whole album, unlike a lot of songs on there which I listen to all the time, just skipping through tracks on my mp3 player. It's quite fun putting it on a CD player and watching people's reactions to it though.

When i was reading about all that "paul is dead" hoax stuff, i think it was Revolution 9 that had a backward message in it stating "turn me on dead man." That's why i always get creeped out when i listen to A day in the life and John sings "I'd love to turn you on"...

[Sgt._Joker]

the phrase "I'd love to turn you on" is a sexual innuendo and i think A day in the Life was one of the first songs to have "rude" phrases/words.....

(see beatles anthology.)

[Walrus Gumboot]

I think the "I'd love to turn you on" was actually written by Paul and sung by John

I think lets spend the night together by the stones might have been the first lol. Apparently when they were on the Ed Sullivan show, they were gonna perform that song, but Ed asked them to change it to "Lets spend some time together" because is was too suggestive. So they agreed to change it, but then sang it normally when they performed. :lol:

EDIT: "Light My Fire" was the song they performed. A lyric in that song "Girl, we couldn't get much higher" was supposed to be taken out by the band (a request of Ed). But while they performed, Jim still sang it. They never performed on Ed Sullivan again.

no you probably should be able to burn it.

[bcf717]

As far as the references in 'A Day in the Life', Turn you on was a drug reference. In the mid sixties the phrase was; 'Tune in, Turn on, and Drop out.' Dr. Timothy Leary was making headlines with the new wonder drug, LSD at that time. The counter culture, or 'hippies' as they were known in the vernacular, recommended Tune in -- get involved with changing social morals, Turn on -- expand your mind (drugs) and Drop out -- leave the older generation's establishment.

Ed Sullivan, during the sixties, was the original 'power broker' of the entertainment business then. One appearance on his show was enough to guarantee a new act a successful career in show business then. The Beatles manager Brian Epstien was wise to coach the boys to do what ever the Sullivan people wanted. It led to repeat tv appearances that brought them into more and more homes through out the nation. The Stones too, played ball. Look at them today. The Doors, as much as I love their music, made the wrong choice. Morrison always took himself a little too seriously and though the band down spiraled due mainly to Morrison's alcoholism and drug dependancy, a lot of doors closed (no pun intended) in the mainstream after the run-in with Sullivan.

Back then Sullivan was the 'establishment' the bands eluded to in protest songs. Ironically, unless you played ball, your message was rarely heard. Things did loosen up by the late sixties.

[bcf717]

One of the greatest hidden drug references ever performed was in the chorus as 'I Am the Walrus' is winding down. The chant, although really was something like 'Oom-pah,' sounded suspiciously like 'Smoke pot, smoke pot, everybody smokes pot' during the finale of all the sped up and slowed down overdub effects going on in the song. Made top-ten 40 on all the radio stations too. Right smack dab in the heart of the heartland of America ( the mid-west), to boot. Whoo-hooo. ;)

[bcf717]

... If you really let your imagination go... you can hear it change to 'f--ed up, f---ed up, everybody's f---ed up.'

[bcf717]

A lot of Ringo's beats were just simple 4/4 beats.

But the genius thing about it is, it works.

[Shootothrill]

I got listening to letit be the other day and in the version I had I noticed a short kind of whispering noise after "For though they may be parted..." Does anyone no what this says, if it says anything at all? Or has anyone else heard it?Or will i be comitted next week?
:confused: :(

[sandman420]

He fit the Beatles, there was a John Lennon quote posted about him that was funny.

[eghed]

So, what's your favorite Beatles album and era?

Mine'll have to be a toss up between Let It Be, Abbey Road, and Sgt. Peppers.

The Let It Be era of the Beatles was my favorite, even though they were on the verge of breaking up.

My favorite album is Revolver (the greatest album ever) and my favorite era is Revolver-Magical Mystery tour. I also really like the four new songs that were on Yellow Submarine, I wish they had made a full album.

[eghed]

Did you guys read about (in the CD manual) how after the final chord on A Day In The Life, John wanted some high pitched noise in there? If you did, can you explain why?

On A Day In The Life they put in a high pitched whistle that only dog's could hear. Why they did this, I don't know but it was taken off in later pressings of the album as well as Sgt. Pepper's Inner Groove because supposedly said a very bad message if played backwards. Which means my dad's album doesn't have it which really stinks. :(

[Seafroggys]

^^^This has been discussed before.

It was on the British records. The high pitched squeel and that inner groove diddle was taken off the American records. When they reissused all the albums on CD, they used the British versions, thus if you have it on CD, there it is!

[Shootothrill]

Was it Let It Be or Let It Be...naked?
Just Let it Be

I have it on cd. I'll have to listen for it next time I listen.

[Leper]

I have it on cd. I'll have to listen for it next time I listen.

Ya i'll have to listen for it too. That part after the song ends is weird too..it sounds like John saying "I couldn't have it any other way" or something like that, and then just repeated over and over again.

[Leper]

page 3??? this is atrocious people!!

Have you guys ever seen the "Jungle Book"?
If you havnt you should its a walt disney classic,

Does anybody have a tab for the lead guitar in While My Guitar Gently Weeps? I want to play it for the talent show, but I'll need to learn it first.

[DeusExMachina]

I'm sure there's something good on Powertab. Or you could be awesome and learn the basic structure of it by ear, and improvise around that.

I think I could do that, but I don't have it on a cd. :-/ So I can't listen to it in my room where I have my guitar.

I already know it's in A minor, so I just need to listen to it and figure it out.

The track, cut into the 'inner groove' at the end of Sgt Peppers had no title and really wasn't a song per say. Most turntables then didn't have the mechanism that would lift the arm and return it to it's cradle at the end of the record. The needle would just continue in that last groove over and over until you physically got up and lifted it yourself.

John and his sense of humor thought it would be wild to have sound in that groove -- a never-ending loop. The result was a snippet of them fooling around. If you have ever heard the Christmas messages you'll recognize the nonsensical mutterings, British old fogey grunts and maniacal laughter as their trademark brand of humor. They were big fans and later became involved with Monty Python's Flying Circus -- especially Harrison. (The Pepper title itself was a bit of a tribute to the Pythons) The resulting loop of the sing-songy 'never have it any other way' with laughter going on for infinity was real mind-blower back then. It was left off the American LPs as on a technical level it was a pain to put in correctly and Capitol thought it un-nessecary. Some say played backwards it says 'We'll f--- you like supermen,' but I place no credibility in that.

I think it might be on MX under "George Harrison"

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I think it might be on MX under "George Harrison"

Actually there's a really good version on MX under Beatles, look under "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and then click the one on the top.

Upside: Good version with all solos and such

Downside: is 66 pages long, but that's because he copied and pasted the tab 3 times on accident.

Second downside: Just one tab is 22 pages long.

[Leper]

I found out the other day that Clapton plays lead guitar on "While my guitar gently weeps"..lol just when i thought Harrisson was among the greats of guitarists, i hear that. He's still pretty good though.

[blue3]

You didn't know that already? ..And yeah George Harrison is a good guitarist

[Walrus Gumboot]

You didn't know that already? ..And yeah George Harrison is a good guitarist


I really love the slidey stuff he did in his early solo career and John Lennon's Imagine album

Whats that... pedal steel guitar? Dobro? Something like that

[pigonthewing82]

I found out the other day that Clapton plays lead guitar on "While my guitar gently weeps"..lol just when i thought Harrisson was among the greats of guitarists, i hear that. He's still pretty good though.

I thought I heard that Harrison wrote it, but he called Clapton in to play it on the album just for the hell of it.

[DeusExMachina]

Harrison didn't think he could do the song justice (if I remember correctly) so he asked Clapton to play on it.

[Leper]

well really, who would you sooner call for a spectacular lead guitar part than Clapton? Probably no one.

[Leper]

I thought I heard that Harrison wrote it, but he called Clapton in to play it on the album just for the hell of it.

Ya Harrisson definitely wrote it, and because of this many people think that the song isn't by the beatles.

[bcf717]

You'd be surprised at how many out there think the Beatles wrote Matchbox, Roll Over Beethoven, or Dizzy Miss Lizzy. But then again, the same people think Van Halen wrote 'Pretty Woman.' :D

[MalcolmYoungRock]

You'd be surprised at how many out there think the Beatles wrote Matchbox, Roll Over Beethoven, or Dizzy Miss Lizzy. But then again, the same people think Van Halen wrote 'Pretty Woman.' :D

And "You Really Got Me".

[Walrus Gumboot]

I am really diggin' "You Really Got A Hold On Me" off of With/Meet the Beatles, its so...cute

[Sgt._Joker]

I really dig "dig it" (bumpage)

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I really dig "dig it" (bumpage)

I'm still trying to figure out what he says at the end. What I have is....


Can you dig it by Georgy Worgy, now we'd like to do All Things Must Come...

[thunderzstruck]

WHats the difference between Let it Be and Let it be.. Naked?

[blue3]

I don't think there was that much of a difference.. But I own the Let it be.. Naked CD

[Sgt._Joker]

i own both,.....

/goes gets cases for them.....


diferences:

Let it Be Song List:
1. Two of Us
2. Dig a Pony
3. Across the Universe
4. I me Mine
5. Dig it
6. Let it Be
7. Maggie Mae
8. I've got a Feeling
9. one After 909
10. The Long and Winding Road
11.For you Blue
12. Get Back

Let it Be Naked songlist:
1. Get Back
2. Dig a Pony
3. For you Blue
4. The Long and Winding Road
5. Two of Us
6. I've got a feeling
7. One afer 909
8. Dont Let me Down
9. I me Mine
10. Across the Universe
11. Let it Be

As you can see there are differences between the song lists,
Also i think Naked is remastered seen it has a "fuller" sound then Let it Be which sounds tinny,
Let it Be has the little intros by John and a bit of chat, Naked doesnt,

Naked comes with a 2nd cd "Fly on the wall" which is just recording of the beatles discussing..


Thats all the differences that are obvious to me,

[Sgt._Joker]

Somethings i have noticed on fly on the walls:

If you look at the booklet on the last page it gives u a "programe" of Fly on the Wall,

The song Child of Nature (24secs a brief snipet,) is the "Jelous Guy" song to be,

some1 already menchioned it but there is a snipet of "Imagine to be"

the fly on the wall cd indicates that one of the early takes of Dont Let me Down, became Sun King later,

there is a snipet of All Things Must Pass,

[Leper]

fly on the wall sounds quite interesting.

[GeorgeHarrison]

Yeah, i thought it was a pretty good addition to the new CD. Its good for all the hardcore beatles fans that need evvvvvvvvvvverything.

[Walrus Gumboot]

[pigonthewing82]

Which is a better album-Revolver or the White album?..

I say the White Album.

[Leper]

both worth picking up though..?

[PinkFreud]

both worth picking up though..?
definitely both worth picking up. the white album carries a hefty price tag though.

[pigonthewing82]

definitely both worth picking up. the white album carries a hefty price tag though.

Yeah both defenetly.

Why is the price so high, I mean I know its two disks, but come on.

[EightMilesHigh]

Speak of the devil, I just got The White Album out of the library the other day. Still working through it, but so far, so good.

Wild Honey Pie scares me....:upset:

[Seafroggys]

^^^Yes, it is a creepy song. Probably the weirdest song of them all (even mroe so then Revolution 9).

IMO the worst song on the album.

"Revolution 9" is a strong point. (IMO)

The White Album (http://www.musicianforums.com/sputnik/album.php?albumid=2191)
Magical Mystery Tour (http://www.musicianforums.com/sputnik/album.php?albumid=2212)

For those of you who don't care, The White Album is brilliant...I didn't have to pay that much for it as I got it second hand off amazon as well. :cool:

I paid $25 for mine :(

[blue3]

I don't have the CD :(

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I have it on iTunes because I borrowed it.

[blue3]

Which CD, The White Album or Magical Mystery Tour? I'll probably buy Magical Mystery Tour next..

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Hmmm... depends.

I'd say White Album, but it also depends on cost.

When you, or any body else who says "what album should I buy next" could you please also post some other things you have heard by the Beatles and liked, it makes the recommondation much easier, and we will be able to have a better pick for you. :)

Wow dude good review. The White album is by far my favorite album of all time. Yes, I do agree there was alot of content on that album, but that was what made it so great. Every song sticks in your mind ( Well maybe not ALL but you get me) and plagues it for days. In my opinion i think people give it harsh words to its length are crazy. Those simple little songs carry a little something of there own. Each one short, catchy, and fun to listen to. Ringo starrs work on "Dont pass me by" was splendid. It truly shows his talent as an artist and gives him a real moment to shine on the album. Long Long Long by john lennon is also a quite nice number. Its slow and wierd and kinda changes pace on you, wich is good. Between the great piano and great keyboard work on this, you got yourself a good song.
And i being a Huge Paul McCartney fan, feel i must stick up for some of his his work on the album. His songs were great. He Expressed his talent to cover multiple song types. I mean you got metal, pop, country, rock, and a somewhat of surf rock song. This really shows how talented he is as a singer/songwriter/musician.
And you cant forget george. Well, im gonna have to, cause im to tired to type any more.

[blue3]

I just searched through my dad's old CD's and cassette tapes and found Beatles Anthology 2, Abbey Road, Revolver, Sgt Peppers.. but they're tapes not CDs :(

[GeorgeHarrison]

My dad has like, a big cassette collection, and in it i found an 9 tape rocording of "The Beatles A - Z" on wlvq 96.3. The radio station played every beatles song in alphebetical order. Its awesome, i stayed up listing to almost all if it a few weeks back. Apperantly alot of radio stations did this.

[Leper]

I think one of my local radio stations did it just recently.

[blue3]

Every weekend some radio stations play only Beatles songs for a few hours.

I haven't listened to the Beatles tapes yet, cause I have the CDs already

[GeorgeHarrison]

My classic rock radio station plays something called "Breakfast with the beatles."

If you get Let it Be... Naked, you get a second CD called Fly on the Wall and it has the Beatles sound clip of them recording stuff in the Let it Be sessions. All Things Must Pass is played there, so I'm guessing is the one you uploaded.

Whoa. I can't believe this is comming from someone who has GeorgeHarrison as his username.

Long, long, long is a Harrisong. It's actually the song during his Beatle period that gives you a glimpse of what he's solo career would be like.

All Things Must Pass is the title track of Harrison's first solo album.

I really really want it.

[GeorgeHarrison]

I have it. Its actually a bootleg off of an original copy this guy has at my local Record shop. He keeps the original to himself and keeps putting new copies on the shelf after theyve been sold.
As for the movie. its pretty good in my opinion. The Guys practice & goof around with all the stuff from Let it be (And 2 songs from Abbey road [ Octopus' Garden, Oh! darling]) . And then they perfom serious versions of a handful of tracks. The movie then ends with the rooftop Performance. A fantastic end to the movie.
If you can find a copy of this film i strongly suggest you pick it up. I dont know where you could find it, i suggest searching on Ebay, And just searching on google.

Hell yeah. It never was on DVD. The last time it was issued on home video formats was on VHS and Laserdisc in the early 80s. I saw ONE ORIGINAL copy at this movie rental house that has everything....its dated to 1981, and it wasn't in great of shape.

My uncle downloaded a direct Laserdisc rip off the net, so he has a near perfect copy on DVD that he burned himself.

lol this guy made a beatles foum in the punk section. Go check it out lmao. :lol:

Eh, if he did it right, whitch he probally didn't, he could have pulled it off. Songs such as Helter Skelter had an obvious influence on bands like the Ramones, so if he made it about influnces he could have made a decent thread that would have died within the hour.

But its still very catchy

Sounds like a plan


I have recently been awed by the bassline to "And Your Bird Can Sing"

[MalcolmYoungRock]

/me lives on California grass

At first I thought it said

"Boston, California"

I was like "WTF?"

I am a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge paul McCartney fan. And i looooove bass. When i have one of my beatles albums in my CD player i always have the Bass Boost on all the way up. In my opinion here is some of his finest work on Bass.

-You Wont See Me
-And Your Bird Can Sing
-Oh! Darling
-Maxwells Silver Hammer
-Ob la Di Ob la Da
-Why dont we do it in the Road? (Did they overdub him playing that bass part, or was it john or george?)
-Your Mother Should Know
-Penny Lane
-Let it be
-Dear Prudence
-And Doctor Robert

[Walrus Gumboot]

George harrison (haha) Do you play bass?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I thought George played the solo?

[Walrus Gumboot]

Me too, I think there is photographic evidence

It's so confusing that his name is also someone else's real name. It is as if my screenname were Suzie McKenna or something

[GeorgeHarrison]

Yeh i do play bass. And i love it. Paul McCartney was the reason i started playing. (With some outside influence from Roger Waters)

Me too :D

McCartney would have to be my favorite bassist

Wouldn't you kill for one of those sweet Hofner violin basses?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

My friend has a Rouge violin bass that looks just like it.

That would be my Runner up in my all time favorite basses.

I would Much rather Have an Extremly nice Rickenbaker basses. (Like the one he played during All the Magical mystery tour videos) But a Rickenbaker bass cost like $1,500. Ouuuuuuuuchies.

I dont play bass (but i do come up with basslines on my guitar) but i am saving up for a:
-Banjo
- Violin bodied bass (like Pauls)
- and that funky (Ibanez is it?) white guitar John uses on the roof top.

It's not an Ibanez, I don't think they had Ibanez's in the 60's.

[Sgt._Joker]

k cheers, well ibanez makes a similar model atm.

[Sgt._Joker]

Epiphone i think it is.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

It's not epiphone either haha.

I think it might be a Grescth(sp?)

[Sgt._Joker]

lol, hmmmm i'll google all of them.

[Sgt._Joker]

when i said epiphone i ment Ibanez Epiphone.

[Sgt._Joker]

I think its a "White Falcon Gretsch" or maybe a Hofner?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

when i said epiphone i ment Ibanez Epiphone.

Ibanez doesn't make Epiphones :lol:

You must mean Artstars or Artcores?

[Sgt._Joker]

Tripple post :O

[MalcolmYoungRock]

It might be Hofner.

It also might be a White Falcon.

Whatever it is, it's cool.

Wowzers, you lucky devil.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Well, I've missed a lot, I think, but I've read the last few pages, and I guess all I can say is that McCartney's violin bass is awesome and so is Lennon's Rickenbacker.

[JamesPatrickPageZoSo]

I'd like to have that six string bass that either john or george would play whenever paul was playin piano. the one george uses during Hey Jude and John uses during Let It Be. there were others, but i (george isnt even sure if he or john played bass on a few songs) cant remember which ones. and pauls Ric that he used in the latter days is a beautiful piece of work (i liked it better before he had the paint stripped).

[ZZ TOP]
