The Beatles

[eghed]

My favorite George songs probably The Inner Light, It's All Too Much, Only A Northern Song, Taxman, Here Comes the Sun, and the lyrics of Within You Without You.

And about Ringo I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything bad about Ringo's personality. they may he's a bad drummer or stuff like that but you really can't say anything about Ringo, he's just a nice guy.

[magicbus]

I don't think he's a bad drummer either, though. Ringo is an awesome drummer, a lot of those songs were really hard to keep the rhthym to, like "Good Morning".

Or Rain. Which is one of my favorite all time songs by them, as far as bass and drums go at least

[Johnlennon11]

I dont care what anyone says John was fantastic with the beatles maybe even better after he left. I agree with everything he said i mean he put out some great records...Imagine, Double Fantasy, Mind Games, Plastic
Ono band, and many many more


Also i just found out clapton was in the plactic ono band...how cool is that?

No he wasn't...?

Are you thinking of the Dirty Mac?

[The Clash]

Im really likin Here Comes The Sun right now. Beautful Accoustic opening and throughout the whole song. Another brilliant Harrison piece.

[robo2448]

I'd say my favorite Harrison songs are While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Here Comes the Sun, in that order. Here Comes the Sun always feels way too short though. And Clapton was not in Plastic Ono Band, but was in Dirty Mac. The Dirty Mac's only recorded performance is on the Rolling Stones Rock N' Roll Circus CD or DVD. It has Lennon, Clapton, Keith Richards on bass, and I think Jim Gordon on drums, but not sure. It also unfortunately has Yoko's wailing and screaming.

Yoko was like a less talented Bjork prototype

/respects Bjork greatly

I could never pick my favorite Harrisong, but out of Ringo's I would say my favorite is Octopus's Garden

Octopus's Garden is Ringo singing. Did George write it though?

That makes them a lot cooler.

No Ringo wrote it. She was talking about her favorite Ringo song.

[Seafroggys]

Mitch Mitchell on drums. ;)

I'm dying to see that.

It would be hard to top The Who's performance at the circus though.

[Black Negro Guy]

I wonda if Jerry Lennon was still alive dat the beats wud still be goin? what u guys thank?

[The Clash]

I wonda if Jerry Lennon was still alive dat the beats wud still be goin? what u guys thank?

dont you mean John Lennon?

[The Clash]

I think that if John was still alive, that at some point in the 1980's maybe even early 1990's the beatles would have had a reunion.

[Ulysses]

Most probably, it usually eventually happens with most bands either because they want the thrill of doing it all again or because they need the money.

[Sgt._Joker]

The whos performance was brilliant, although it was very cool to see such an array of fantastic artists.. rock gods in there own right, playing it the same band.

[Sgt._Joker]

No doubt for something like Live 8 or some other charity concert,

[Johnlennon11]

No he wasn't...?

Are you thinking of the Dirty Mac?



well not exactly in the band but played more than a few songs with them

[DeusExMachina]

They might do it for Live 8. However, they wouldn't do a reunion tour. You all seem to be forgetting that for the last four years of their career, they didn't tour.

[Johnlennon11]

yeah they had some real leadership issues after epstien died :upset:

[robo2448]

well not exactly in the band but played more than a few songs with them

No, I'm pretty sure he never played with them in studio. Live he did, but there he isn't credited on the studio albums. Harrison is credited with playing on a few songs though.

[Iron_Weed]

I don't think he's a bad drummer either, though. Ringo is an awesome drummer, a lot of those songs were really hard to keep the rhthym to, like "Good Morning".

I really love his weird drum pattern in Tomorrow Never Knows as well.

[pigonthewing82]

You know what I found out today, remember that show Thomas the Train or somthing like that, Ringo was the narrator, I watched that all my childhood and never knew that was him till now.

[Dr. Killgreedy]

im not much of a beatles fan infact i dont even listen to them but i read in the news not too long ago about paul being a animal lover, killing sheep. what do yall think about that? lol. i know pauls on that animal rights organization but he was caught slaughtering lambs or sheep. that has some irony huh?

[snorfledumpkins]

Thomas the tank engine. Btw that's awesome, where'd you figure that out?

It was in a great magazine special on the Beatles solo careers. I forget whitch magazine it was, but you should be able to pick it up at Barns and Nobel or Borders.

I used to watch that show all the time, and my mom always used to go on about the conductor on the show. I think she annoyed me, and I remebered that, and then she mentioned it again and I realized it was Ringo :eek:

They almost got back together in the 70's when Lorne Michaels offered them 3000$ to play 3 songs. This was just a joke on a sketch, because people were offering the beatles thousands to get back together. As it so happens Paul was visiting john and Yoko in NY at the time, and they almost decided to do it, but later decided against it

[Sgt._Joker]

Theres a sad movie about that, well its about paul and john after the beatles split and at the end, John and Paul are packing their guitars into a car, paul gets in and john goes to say goodbye to Yoko, and John comes back to the car and says "Sorry paul [insert something about yoko not wanting John to go course they had planed something before]"

Entierly fictional of course, but sad that they got so close to doing it.


The magazine about the Beatles solo career was a NME special magazine dedicated to just that, and i bought it while i was in london for 6 pounds.

Did you go to that Beatles Store on Baker St.?

[Sgt._Joker]

no... i only heard about it on the last day i had in london, it was just a re release of the magazine in a normal newsagent..

I did go to the Abbey Road cafe shop thing, bought a nice revolver mug and a abbey road shirt.

God, if they only had. I remember George guest starred on an SNL episode a little after that, and he was talking to Lorne and he was still trying to convince him to do a performance.

[Sgt._Joker]

**** the terroists.

I know this forum talks about the same topics in a cycle, and i'm sure the John Lennon death conspiracy has probably popped up 3 or 4 times but,
Theres a conspiracy that Charles Manson was a "brain washed" former fbi hitman, and how that the last 2 assainations (martin luther king, Robert Kennedy) happend when the president at the time was reaching the end of his run just like the president when john lennon was shot...

And "apparently" Charles Manson acted calmly after he'd taken john lennon out as if he thought John Lennon was a task that had been assinged to him.

also john lennon was one of the most influencial people at the time, hence a threat to the american president at the time because his protests on the Vietnam War etc constantly made front page and, in the example of the Vietnam war, John Lennon along with the media made the people realise what was really happening in the vietnam war and that in turn stopped the war and brought an end to a presidents reign.... what president wouldnt want john lennon out of their face.

Also apparently since 1972 or 74 john lennon's apparentment etc was being watched by the FBI...

[Walrus Gumboot]

God, if they only had. I remember George guest starred on an SNL episode a little after that, and he was talking to Lorne and he was still trying to convince him to do a performance.

Yeah, Georgewas trying to get the 3000$, but Lorne said thast was only for all four of them, and that just george wouldn't get nearly as much

[pigonthewing82]

Also apparently since 1972 or 74 john lennon's apparentment etc was being watched by the FBI...

Unless I'm mistaken thats around the time they were trying to deport Lennon, so the FBI may have been just there looking for reasons. It's an interesting theory though, I wonder if they killed Paul that way too.

[Sgt._Joker]

Paul who?

[pigonthewing82]

Paul who?

McCartney

[Dr. Killgreedy]

i still wanna know what yall think about paul's slaughter house when he's supposedly w/ the animal lovers org.?

[Sgt._Joker]

McCartney


but he isnt dead yet is he?




any way about the slaughter house thing, i havnt heard alot about it, but if paul is doing it for farming, alot of people do the same thing, a paul is within his rights to do it, its different from slaughtering cats or something like that.

If its not for farming i dont know.

At the end of the day most things like that are just a big media beat up,

[clown_phobia]

Yeah go listen to Revolution #9 and the end of Strawberry Feilds Forever and tell me otherwise :angry: . I guess somebody burried Paul.

Yeah I think the whole slaughter house thing has been blow up by the media. Its not the first time for the Beatles, lets not forget "we're bigger then Jesus"

And about the Paul thing, I was just saying that because of the "Paul is dead" theory. Its just another really out there beatles theory like the John Lennon thing so I just thought I'd merge the two.

[Sgt._Joker]

oic, well the whole Revolution #9 thing was a typical lennon/ beatle thing to do, make a synical joke about it and let the "theory" grow and grow for laughs.

[clown_phobia]

In Strawberry Fields it actually says "cranberry sauce".

[pigonthewing82]

In Strawberry Fields it actually says "cranberry sauce".

I thought it sounded somthing like that, to be honest I never heard the "I burried Paul", I mean I've heard the line its suppose to be, but I didn't see the Paul connection.

[Walrus Gumboot]

If you listen to the Anthology versions, it's pretty obvious that it is indeed 'cranberry sauce'

I love the anthologies

Charles Manson had nothing to do with the killing of John Lennon. He had nothing to do with the Beatles at all, except that he was obsessed with them and listened to the White Album when he killed people.

[El_Goodo]

Charles Manson had nothing to do with the killing of John Lennon. He had nothing to do with the Beatles at all, except that he was obsessed with them and listened to the White Album when he killed people.

I was waiting for someone to get him. He made a real idiot out of himself, when your gonna talk about a conspiracy know who was actually involved.

[clown_phobia]

Charles Manson had nothing to do with the killing of John Lennon. He had nothing to do with the Beatles at all, except that he was obsessed with them and listened to the White Album when he killed people.

Well actually, each beatle was accused of the murder by police, but luckily they all had good alibis for the night in question.

[clown_phobia]

...Right...and where are you getting this information?

http://www.beatles-discography.com/ under the 'day by day' section, under August 9th 1969.

[El_Goodo]

Wow that's a great site. Im reading all the day by day stuff...it's pretty sad around were John's mom was run over.

[pigonthewing82]

Wow that's a great site. Im reading all the day by day stuff...it's pretty sad around were John's mom was run over.

Yeah I remember the day I heard about that. A couple days later I heard his song My Mummy's Dead. It was really sad that he seemed to have to hide being upset about it for the most part.

[clown_phobia]

Wow that's a great site. Im reading all the day by day stuff...it's pretty sad around were John's mom was run over.

I think i've read about five years worth - its fascinating and really interesting.

I love it :D

I never knew that song was about that.

Has anyone heard John Lennon's Acoustic album that came out recently?

It's good.

[pigonthewing82]

I never knew that song was about that.

Has anyone heard John Lennon's Acoustic album that came out recently?

It's good.

Yep, thats where I heard it. I love the acoustic version of Imagine. I also thought it was cool how they gave you the cords to the songs, I was able to learn them while listening.

[El_Goodo]

:o I just read that back in the Cavern John put his cigarette under the strings of his guitar at the top. He did it before Van Halen! haha

[robo2448]

I never knew that song was about that.

That CD is great. For some reason the amazon reviews didn't make it sound very good, but I love it and most people here seem to love it too.

[pigonthewing82]

That CD is great. For some reason the amazon reviews didn't make it sound very good, but I love it and most people here seem to love it too.

Wow that supprises me I can't really find much fault in it. I mean Cold Turkey is done better on the studio, but thats the only thing I can find wrong with it.

[MBS]

Yep, thats where I heard it. I love the acoustic version of Imagine. I also thought it was cool how they gave you the cords to the songs, I was able to learn them while listening.

Yeah, that was really cool, I sat down and learnt Imagine on my acoustic the second I found out.

[pigonthewing82]

Yeah, that was really cool, I sat down and learnt Imagine on my acoustic the second I found out.

Yeah thats a fun song to play, though I usually play it on my electric.

[clown_phobia]

I performed Imagine at a funeral

[pigonthewing82]

I performed Imagine at a funeral

Thats a good song for a funeral, its a nice good bye.

[Walrus Gumboot]

I performed Imagine at a funeral

I would be afraid to mess it up no doubt, shakey hands and such

If I could choose a song to be played at my funeral, I would have it be "I Should Have Known Better" or one of the other flimsy pop songs they did. I don't know why, it just seems natural

Either that or Box Of Rain

[El_Goodo]

Wow My Mummy's Dead is just a crushingly sad song...it's right up there with grow old with me

[pigonthewing82]

Wow My Mummy's Dead is just a crushingly sad song...it's right up there with grow old with me

You know somthing I always loved about Lennon's lyrics is if he was writing a song about love or happieness you would be able to feel how happy he was when he wrote the song, or if he was down you can feel it too, like with My Mummy's Dead. I think he is the best at sparking emotion though his lyrics, except for Dylan.

[DeusExMachina]

I need the acoustic CD.

[Johnlennon11]

[QUOTE=Sgt._Joker]but he isnt dead yet is he?


yeah no $hit haven't you ever heard the paul is dead thing from spinnin records backwards and lookin at clues on the album covers?

[Johnlennon11]

Very end of im so tired when theres just mumbles jiberish play that backwards n john says paul is dead man miss him miss him oh and revolution #9 is the weirdest song i have ever heard its just creepy

[MBS]

Our conclusion:

Paul cloned himself before he died.

oh and sorrry i did not read through everything first

[Johnlennon11]

No, I'm pretty sure he never played with them in studio. Live he did, but there he isn't credited on the studio albums. Harrison is credited with playing on a few songs though.



I know for sure that he got credit on the "Cold Turkey" single

[The Clash]

No doubt for something like Live 8 or some other charity concert,


If John wasnt murdered he would be 65 i think. So assuming John didnt get murdered, hed still be here. George died from natural causes so thats not as dramatic but johns life was cheated short.

That would be awsome to see a lennon/McCartney reunion, that could maybe even feature Ringo on drums.

But can you imagine how big that renunion would be today??!!

Im only 16 and I would do anything to see that. Just imagine what you people who lived through there primes would do tgo see them!

[The Clash]

I found this to be weird. Many Beatle fans consider "The White Album" to be the Beatles greatest album, yet it didnt even have one number 1 hit.

[robo2448]

I found this to be weird. Many Beatle fans consider "The White Album" to be the Beatles greatest album, yet it didnt even have one number 1 hit.

Rubber Soul didn't have 1 either. Neither did Sgt. Pepper's actually. #1 hits don't really mean anything.

[Johnlennon11]

white album is great, but I couldn't even try to name my favorite beatle's album

[robo2448]

white album is great, but I couldn't even try to name my favorite beatle's album

White Albums my favorite. Then probably Rubber Soul and Abbey Road. I really love all of them though. There is so little difference between their albums in terms of quality. The thing that really shows how great all of their albums are is that if you asked 5 Beatles fans to name their favorite, you'd probably get 5 different answers.

[drugstore cowboy]

^ I'd say they would mostly focus on Rubber Soul and after. Not many that I know put early Beatles records in as Top 5 favourites. I'd say Help has to be up there with my top 5 Beatles records, just to represent the old school n' ****, yo.

Top five beatles records:

1. Abbey Road
2. White Album
3. Let it Be
4. Sgt. Pepper's
5. Help!

[Johnlennon11]

I think there best early album is The Beatles Second Album its got some good tunes on it

[Schyma]

For me I'd say.......

1. Revolver
2. White Album
3. Sgt Peppers
4. Magical Mystery Tour
5. Let it Be
6. Abby Road
7. Rubber Soul

Are the Beatles not the greatest band to ever exist? :amaze:

My favorite Beatle's song changes about everyday but right now i got rocky raccoon stuck in my head I really like that song

[Walrus Gumboot]

Right now "Across the Universe". (not all time though)

ATU is my default favorite beatles song. The first time I heard it I couldn't speak or think right for hours
I was on the bus when I first heard it, (my bus ride was 30 min. or so through the woods), and it was early fall, during a rainstorm. I had just found Let It Be the night before. I could barely see out the window to stare out of it (which is all there is to do on such a busride), and when I heard the first few measures I was in full-body paralysis
My English teacher wasn't in for D-Block, and he didn't leave us any work, so I got my CD player (this was before they were banned) and sat next to the big windowsill and watched a torrential downpour over the courtyard/athletic fields/mountains/river. By the time he class was over I was soaked, and I sat that way in Spanish class. I was still quite spacy

Has anyone seen "The Rutles"? It's done by Eric Idle of Monty Python, and it's a spoof of the Beatles. It's really, really brilliant. Dirk, Stig, Nasty, and Barry: The Pre-Fab Four.

[El_Goodo]

Well I made a thread but no one seemed to care. But has anyone heard Paul McCartney's new single "fine line" it's really starting to grown on me. The only think that bothers me is that he sings everything like "everyting" (without the h) it's a little weird. But it's actually pretty catchy.

http://s11.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3DOH5394BMIW63PZ9LGTODNXA1

As for my favourite Beatles song right now, I'm also gonna have to say Across The Universe. That's a really great song, that Im just starting to listen to more. Im really liking the music off Let It Be it's alot more raw and emotional, and I like the little talking in between the songs.

Thanks for the track :thumb:

I decided I needed to learn a new song that I can play on acoustics, so I learned Blackbird. Once you get the fingerpicking pattern down, it's very easy, and really fun to play.

[Woodstock]

Yes, that's almost as common a song to play on guitar as Stairway. It is really easy once you get it down. :)

[Flaminghotchino]

Across the Universe was one of my favorite beatles songs for a while.

Along with, Within You, Without You, Taxman, and Blue Jay Way

That was the first song I ever learned how to play. I love it.

[magicbus]

And I thought I was special or something :upset:

But seriously, it's real good for a little song to whip out around the campfire.

[rockinbass17]

It's so unlike everything else on the album- Helter Skelter and USSR,etc. Nice little mellow number. Sometimes a simple acoustic guitar part sounds better than all the other complex studio stuff one can do.

That is so true, I mean look at Bob Dylan's stuff before he went electic, or John Lennon's solo career. People get so caught up with trying to make the most complex hard to play song that by the end they are playing somthing that they only wrote to be hard, rather then writing somthing simple but from the heart.

[The Clash]

Has anyone seen the movie "I am Sam" with sean penn? It has a ton of Beatle references and the whole soundtrack to the movie is all beatles songs, unfortuantly there all by different artists. Check out that movie to see the beatle references and facts. I picked up a few beatle facts from that movie.

I dont know any of the bands that did the covers but there was one that i sorta liked. Whoever covererd "Youve got to hide your love away" did pretty good.

Cool, yeah I always wonder about Bealtes covers, I mean its pretty hard to top the Beatles. Though I have a Hendrix cd where he does a great cover of "Tomorrow Never Knows"

I hate how Micheal Jackson owns the rights to the songs. I hate Jackson with a passion that little........Little boy molesterer!

I wish i could get real music tones for my cell phone instead of STUPID Poly's.

If you want it on your cell phone just say your going to use it in a nike commercial, I'm sure he'll have no problem giving it to you then.

boy..... you gotta CARRY THAT WEIGHT......CARRY THAT WEIGHT a long time!

[magicbus]

Why does Michael Jackson own their songs?

[MBS]

Why does Michael Jackson own their songs?

He bought the rights to most of the songs from Paul McCartney.

Ironically, Paul was the one who told him to buy rights to songs because it's a good investment.

[DeusExMachina]

Paul owns the latter stuff, though. Like, everything after Sgt. Pepper.

[pigonthewing82]

Wait so it was Paul who sold Revolution to Nike!!!!!!

That might have been Jackson, he bought their singles too I think.

[pigonthewing82]

That might have been Jackson, he bought their singles too I think.

Oh ok, I almost lost a lot of respect for Paul right there.

[Seafroggys]

I watched an Interview where Paul was saying Northern Songs (all of the Beatles music, except for their first album I think and some of Harrison's later ones) was up for sale again in the mid-80s, so whoever owned the rights (never the Beatles) was selling it for some reasons. Micheal Jackson bought it because of Paul's suggestions.

[JonG]

Didn't Jackson also sell a song to a commercial, which the Beatles were obviously against.

[MBS]

Didn't Jackson also sell a song to a commercial, which the Beatles were obviously against.

Yeah, he sold "Revolution" to Nike.

[clown_phobia]

Paul owns the latter stuff, though. Like, everything after Sgt. Pepper.

That's not true.

Paul only owns four songs, and they are really early ones, like love me do.

The beatles' company Apple was doing very poorly in 1969 and their new manager Allen Klein convinced them (except paul) that the best thing to do was to float the company on the stockmarket. They made a lot of money quick, but sometime in the 80's Michael Jackson bought the lot.

[The Clash]

I hate how MJ owns them though, He is a freak.

I wish they were still pauls.

[rockinbass17]

On the topic of selling out, was it actually John Lennon who sold himself to Converse?
I sure hope not, I don't believe he would have ever done something like that.

[Johnlennon11]

Yeah it dosn't sound like something he'd do but i dunno. As for MJ i beleive now that hes losing his money sony is going to buy the songs, but i really hope paul gets them eventually. I also just watched I am Sam last night, and hes got a lot of cool john lennon posters.

[Walrus Gumboot]

I thought it was more like the rights to the songs (royalties and such) were divided up 1/3 to the Beatles 1/3 to the record company, and 1/3 to whomever wanted to buy them. If MJ owned the rights to 100% of the songs, then McCartney wouldn't be able to use his songs anymore, but he can, because he owns the copyrights (I think)

In short, I don't think it is like "Bobby owns 3 songs and Suzie gives him 2, how many songs does Bobby have now"

[Lunch]

In short, I don't think it is like "Bobby owns 3 songs and Suzie gives him 2, how many songs does Bobby have now"

Is it 7?

[Walrus Gumboot]

Is it 7?

I think it's 6 :confused:

Just in case anyone is interested: Over the past few days I have uploaded the following albums to the Alt/indie and Other music threads:
Abbey Road
Let It Be
Help!
Paul and Linda McCartney- Ram (Highly recommended)
Paul McCartney- McCartney
George Harrison- All Things Must Pass (Also Highly recommended)

Figures someone uploads All Things Must Pass as soon as I order it.

Your retarded, yea it's crappy Michael Jackson owns the rights, but is that any reason to hate him and call him a little boy molester? (actually you called him a little boy molesterer). I see your one of those people who believe in guilty, no matter if there proven innocent.

But anyways, did anyone else listen to the new McCartney single, I got a sendit link to it on page 145.

Im entitled to my opinion. I think he was guitly, and guess what, hes been convicted for molesting kids twice now. Doesnt that seem a little fishy to you? Plus, He admitted to distributing alchohol to little kids, but then was found not guilty for it. If that was me or you in that court room, wed be locked up in jail the first time, Jackson only gets off because hes rich and famous. Dont call me a retard because my opinion is different from yours. I said i dont like him because I think hes a child molester, Not because he owns the beatles songs. Get it right before you try to come after me douche bag.

By the way, You act Like I just randomly called him a child molester. Are you stupid, He has gone to court for it twice, I didnt make it up.

[The Moor]

I really love McCartney's solo work. It's more ear candy-ish than John/George's stuff, and a bit shallower, but it can be more than a bit addictive at times

Mrs. Robinson is a great song, even though it is not originally by the Beatles. They do it best though. How do you make your own thread?

*gasp!* Oh dear lord, get it now! Its more grungier and punk then anything done in the past 15 years, its so internal and personal. Mother, WEll WEll WEll, I found out, God, Isolation, and the bonus tracks are pretty good do (Do the Oz is awesome).

EDIT: What the hell, the Beatles never did Mrs. Robinson. Their complete recorded discography is on the back of my Scorebook, and its not on there.

Thank you SO much :D

Mrs Robinson is a great song but the Jesus bit is a little cheesy if you ask me

EDIT: Crap, it's an m4a. How do you get those to work on WMP?

[El_Goodo]

I've got the very best of John Lennon, and I've got a bunch of Paul McCartney tunes on my computer. I've found that McCartney's strength are his melodies, alot of his lyrics can be a bit cheesy, like put it there "Give me your hand, I'd like to shake it, I wanna show you Im your friend" but once it get's to the chorus it's just too catchy to resist.

But i've heard...pretty much nothing from George, and I've heard a few songs from Ringo. Ringo's stuff is really catchy and sounds like beatle material, but his voice isnt the best out there. I've gone threw my John phase and my Paul phase, so now, what are some good Ringo/George songs/albums I should check out?

[El_Goodo]

Hmm it may be the Farenheit 9/11 on tv behind me, but I think we really need a band like the Beatles. We need some good clean songs that everyone can enjoy. Like "All you need is love" that is one of the best messages and truest messages ever in a song. There's very few great positive songs that could be anthems these days. I think "Let There Be Love" by Oasis of their latest cd could be a really good anthem.

****! Thanks to the guy who uploaded "Plastic Ono Band" it's an awesome album! I'd never heard that version of Mother. I only heard the single edit. And I was suprised to hear many John Lennon songs I hadnt heard before. Well Well Well is really great and sounds like a Jimi Hendrix song to me.

He's Aaron, but then again, so am I. So it gets confusing.

[DeusExMachina]

Isn't Kingofdudes Aaron as well? Or am I just crazy? Bah. Now I'm all confused.

I just listened to Sgt. Peppers for the first time in awhile. I have to say, after spending so long with Abbey Road and Rubber Soul, Sgt. Peppers didn't seem quite as good as it used to.

[ultimaterocker]

i still think after all these years the white album outdoes abbey road.

[Lunch]

The White Album is probably my favorite Bealtes album.

[El_Goodo]

The first song I ever remember hearing was Here Comes The Sun. The Beatles is a great band, but I'm sorry to say I think they're a bit overrated.

Well I find it unlogical to be able to overrate the most succesful band in history...

[DeusExMachina]

I don't quite see the appeal of The White Album. Some of it I love, but some of it I just don't like all that much. In my opinion, Abbey Road > Rubber Soul > The White Album.

[TerryThorne]

Neither do I, some songs are alright and a lot are kinda like fillers and don't have anytthing really special about them

[Flaminghotchino]

Yeah white album has some great classics, but it doesn't compete with Sgt. Peppers in my opinion where every track is just so **** good.

[El_Goodo]

Ooo I just downloaded My Sweet Lord I had no idea this song was George Harrison. This is a really great and catchy song :) Has anyone uploaded "All things must pass"

[pigonthewing82]

Well what I like about the White Album is how diverse it is. I mean Abby Road, in all its greatness, is mostly a rock album. The White Album touches nearly every genre rock. I wouldn't dismiss some songs on the White Album as fillers like Revolution #9 is often called a filler, but its more of John trying to be artistic. Its like Pink Floyds tracks from Dark Side of the Moon like On The Run. They arn't fillers, just the artist trying to work outside instruments.

[Illmatic]

I love The White Album...it's such an eclectic, imaginitive album. And it has my two favorite Beatles songs ("While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Dear Prudence")

And I actually didn't mind "Revolution 9" all that much.

[robo2448]

Ooo I just downloaded My Sweet Lord I had no idea this song was George Harrison. This is a really great and catchy song :) Has anyone uploaded "All things must pass"

Walrus did in Other Music. Download it now. It's an amazing album. Speaking of that, I have a question about George. Does anyone know when he started playing slide guitar? Because I very rarely here it in Beatles albums, but it's in a lot of songs on ATMP.

Does anyone have the Let It Be Sessions album?

I think Amanda uploaded it in one of the YSI threads.

Probably not... Let It Be...Naked is an actual album not sessions.

I love the Beatles and they are still to this day my greatest influence on guitar besides Hendrix. It just gets me so mad that people at my school always say that they are a bunch of british punks that sing about being in love. With all the mainstream crap and all these ganster wannabees with their rap nobody just gives them a chance. People at my school compare them to the likes of the Ramones saying that the Ramones are way better. I don't understand why they don't listen to hardcore beatles (by hardcore I mean stuff that isn't on the Radio) stuff such as "the end" "Across the Universe" etc. you know what I mean Anyways, my favorite song gots to be All You need is Love cuz it inspires me so much to do stuff. Well, peace! and oh yeah I AM teh WALRUS! :thumb:

Revolution 1 is meh for me. Revolution is far superior; has a better sound, better pulse, better feel, better tempo, better power.

Revolution 9 is pretty cool. At the end isn't there a bit where a chic talks about being naked?

[pigonthewing82]

The way I always saw it was Revolution 1 is more like the protest songs of the 60's generation, but Revolution seems to be more modern and more of a protest song of today, but written years ago.

[SuperGrover66]

The Beatles are way cool

[DeusExMachina]

I love Revolution 9. It scares me sometimes, though.

The story behind why there are two sorts of Revolutions

Around the time of the recording of the White Album they were looking for singles to put out, which were not going to appear on the album. Hey Jude was decided to be the A-side, of course. Lennon push what will become to be known as Revolution 1, but the other Beatles said that it was too slow to be the B-side of Hey Jude, so Lennon decided to fasten the tempo and make it more heavy, so he came up with Revolution. Since the singles came out first, Lennon decided then to name the one that would appear on the White Album Revolution 1 to avoid confusions and so that people wouldn't think that they were using one of the singles on the album.

And when they were shooting the promo for Revolution they sang the 'shoo beedo wap' live, which they used on the Revolution 1, to make it more interesting. I think it's sounds better like that.

That's how the song and promo came to be.

[Illmatic]

I didn't know that.

I mean, I figured that there had to have been a conflict of interests to record two different versions of one song.

[slowhand]

Sort of. The only reason Lennon did it was because he felt that the message he was trying to give out in his song had to go out to the world. If not, he wouldn't have changed the song.

So, the original one is the slow one. But I preffer Revolution.

[RNR]

Yoko, if my memory doesen't fail me

[El_Goodo]

Yea I just recently checked out Revolution 1 and the first time I heard it I was kind of disapointed Revolution is definetly better...but Revolution 1 has grown on me and it's a very good song.

[El_Goodo]

Has anyone else read the Beatles Anthology book...it's an amazing story! There's parts that really make you laugh out loud! There's parts that make you feel a little sad...it's really a great story. Im on Page 297 right now...I've still got a ways to go! But it's getting really interesting. What are some of your favourite parts of the book?

Im just reading about Hey Jude...it's quite funny. George Martin said...that they couldnt make a single that long! THe beatles asked...why not? And he all he could think of was that dj's wouldnt play it! They said..they will if it's us

George Martin" And, of course, he was absolutley right."

That part made me laugh

[Leper]

I'm on about page 52, but i can't wait until i get where you are. I found the fact that the rest of them were scared of Ringo when they met pretty funny. Especially the part about him coming into the club late at night and requesting songs haha.

Yea the stories from the Cavern were pretty fun. You read the parts about them walking in on eachother...while doing...things. Ha that part was pretty good. I got this book a few months ago..and I'd read it every few days or weeks. So it's taken me a long time to get where I am. But last night I read like 50 pages until about 1 am. And I've done the same tonight. It's getting really interesting. John and Yoko just got busted :eek:

[DeusExMachina]

I need to read that book.

[slowhand]

I haven't read the book. My friend has it, I just look around, and find something that I'm interested, like when they talk about a song, or something. I mostly read what George Harrison says. I have the DVD Anthology. It doesn't have as much information, but it makes up for the promo and other interesting video footage.

[DeusExMachina]

I don't have enough Beatles stuff that isn't just albums.

I just learned today my neighbor has every single Beatles album on vinyl. I need to steal it all.

Hard to believe..maybe their studio albums?

Yesterday is an american-only album that you can't get on CD

That would explain it

/my stepdad has it on vinyl, at least

[SuperGrover66]

I know we are already off the subject but...

I read you guys talking bout Revolution 9 and decided to download it, im 75% through it and previewed it and thought "WTF!!! I WASTED ALL THIS TIME FOR THIS?!?!?" but now i have listened to it again and it's actually very clever. What's the story behind it?

It's pretty sad, i only have Sgt. Peppers, The Blue Album (Best of 1967-1970), and 1, and a beatles book.

[Sgt._Joker]

Revolution 9 was an experiment, the beatles were playing around with sound loops and Paul McCartney had about 20 sound loops of things like Seagulls and violin scales etc.. then they compiled it into a song. thats about all there is to it.

[DeusExMachina]

Have you heard of Past Masters? It has all their songs that weren't on albums. (there's two past masters cds)
Yeah, I know about them. I have pretty much every song the Beatles ever did, I just want to have it all on vinyl.

[gram]

hmmm I have a thought in my mind and have for quite some time....if the Beatles were around now instead of in the 60s, do you think they would have reached the fame they had or even come close to it? I would like to hear your thoughts.

[DeusExMachina]

If they made the same music, no. Because, if you'll notice, the majority of youth today don't like The Beatles. That wasn't true in the 60's.

[LEDZEPFANxXx]

i have one and i have the rest of there songs downloaded from the internet

[gram]

yeah, except for the hippies who are living in the 60's :lol: they are sooo cool. I mean that by the way.

[pigonthewing82]

Should I get the John Lennon live cd, live in New York, or is it no good.

[robo2448]

Should I get the John Lennon live cd, live in New York, or is it no good.

I'd be interested in hearing an opinion on it too. I think I might pick it up if I eever see it. I did hear Come Together off of it though, and wasn't very impressed.

[RNR]

Should I get the John Lennon live cd, live in New York, or is it no good.

It's John Lennon! Of course it's good! :mad:

[DeusExMachina]

I haven't seen it, but I'm going with RNR on this one. I'd pick it up even if I didn't think it was going to be great, just because John Lennon is awesome.

[pigonthewing82]

It's John Lennon! Of course it's good! :mad:

:lol: I should have known. I'm on amazon right now trying to decide weather to get it, so far my list is All Things Must Pass, Walls and Bridges, and either Plastic Ono Band or the Live in New York, I'm leaning towards Plastic Ono Band, but I love live albums.

[robo2448]

Get ATMP or Plastic Ono Band. 2 of my favorite albums. I remember reading reviews for the 2 others on Amazon and they didn't seem that positive.

[DeusExMachina]

I really need ATMP. Really really need it. Yarg.

[Walrus Gumboot]

It's John Lennon! Of course it's good! :mad:


Until you hear "Sometime In New York City"
