I haven't heard Sometime in New York City. Is it bad?

By the way, I like your avatar.

Thanks :)

It's ok if you don't buy it, but IMO it is not worth 30$. The album is pretty bad and has alot of yoko screaming/yodeling, but has a few "good" songs (By good I mean listenable)
The second disk came free with the album when it was released, and it is a live preformance/ jam with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, and although it has it's weak points with more Yoko screaming, it is considered to be good ( I can't remeber if I liked it or not, I heard it before I really knew who Zappa was)

[DeusExMachina]

Hmmm. Well, I'm not a big fan of Zappa, some is good, but I just can't get into it. And I'm certainly not a fan of Yoko screaming. I think I'll pass that one up.

I don't think anyone's a fan of Yoko's screaming.

The Beatles Anthology 3 Disc 1

In case anyone is interested

[magicbus]

What exactly is Anthology about? It's a book, it's a cd, I'm not sure what's going on anymore.

[Walrus Gumboot]

It is a collection of early takes and alternate versions of their favorite songs. I was meaning to post this one, it was on Anthology 2. I'll post it later and write an explination

Oh, actually now that I think about it, my dad might have Anthology 3. Does it have an acoustic version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"?

[Walrus Gumboot]

Oh, actually now that I think about it, my dad might have Anthology 3. Does it have an acoustic version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"?
Yep, and a vocals-only version of Beacause which is somewhat notable IMO

Ok, This is a version of "And Your Bird Can Sing" where John and Paul were attempting to sing the lead vocals to the instumental/backing vocal track while under the obvious influence of certain substances:

And Your Bird Can Sing

PS- It's very funny :D

[magicbus]

That was VERY funny. I enjoyed it a lot.

[DeusExMachina]

Is the And Your Bird Can Sing from anthology 3? I have all of them, but I don't know where they are right now.

[Walrus Gumboot]

Nope, it's from the second anthology, 1st disc, I really love some of the songs on the anthologies, and pass over some, especailly the first

Here's the 2nd Disc of The 3rd Anthology, I was uploading these for someone else but again, if anyone is interested:

[DeusExMachina]

Awesome. If I can't find my copy of it, I'll definitely download those. Thanks for the uploads.

[El_Goodo]

GRRR! Both those anthology links are blocked...could you upload them again?

Are you sure? What does it say is wrong with them?


Amatar change for Deus :eek:

Yeah, I decided to change my avatar, because I like jumping on bandwagons. New usertitle too.

HVRNR, I might be able to upload the anthologies if you couldn't get them.

[Johnlennon11]

This topic ha already passed, but i wanted to say something anyway. I have Live in New York City on vinyl, and in my opinion it is very good

[bmxrunner]

What exactly is Anthology about? It's a book, it's a cd, I'm not sure what's going on anymore.

1. its a book, telling the story of the beatles from start to end

2. its a series of dvd's. basically a movie of the book, its less in depth,but has goodies like music videos and concert footie too

3. its a series odf cd's with rare songs, alternate takes, singles, etc.

edit - for some new discussion, who hear was introduced to the beatles by their parents? mine had/have half a dozen original vinyls and some tapes and it was pretty much all i listened to as a kid

[Walrus Gumboot]

For a second there I thought you were asking if anyone had been personally introduced to the Beatles by there parents, like "Hey hids, I want you to meet someone" :lol:

I found Sgt. Peppers, Disc 1 of the White album, Abbey Road and much later Disc 2 and Let It Be in my parent's collections, so I guess so

[MBS]

My parents were lame and didn't listen to Classic Rock so I had to start my whole collection myself.

[Walrus Gumboot]

What did they listen too?

[MBS]

What did they listen too?

Well my dad listens to operas and hawaiian music.

My mom listens to Spanish music.

[DeusExMachina]

My dad actually had met Paul, John, and Yoko when he was living in London. He was a huge Beatles freak, he went to London in 62, before they had come to the US, and became hooked. So yeah, my dad definitely turned me onto the Beatles. He's a Beatlemaniac.

[El_Goodo]

I just watched Yellow Submarine and it was great...it was funny...the blue meanie leader was cool, and the songs were great!

My dad would always put in the beatles one car rides and such, I have always liked them but not until recently have I satarted to get into their music. My dad wons let it be and some greatest hits records that I 'borrowed' from him.

Let it be is a song I grew up on

[robo2448]

My parents played 1 and With the Beatles in car rides. After they played 1, I went out and bought Rubber Soul, and that's when I started buying all of their albums.

[Walrus Gumboot]

I found Sgt. Peppers in my dad's room, thought "heh I liked this when I was little, what the hell" and so I put it in my CD player and left it on so I could clean my room, and then I thought it meritted my listening to it again, so I put it in my CD player and listend to it in school, and then on the bus, for like a month straight until I found the white album and over-listened to that, then I found Magical Mystery Tour (It was <3<3) found Revolver later, got someone to burn me Rubber Soul and 1, found Disc 2 of the white album, Found Let It be, my neighbor had Please Please Me and A Har Day's Night, Found Abbey Road in some woman's car, got Beatles For Sale for Christmas, and my Sister bought With the Beatles and Help! and Yellow Submarine. I do believe we have all of them all...

I remeber the first time I listened to every single one

[Flaminghotchino]

I was raised with Sgt. Peppers it still remains my fav.

I got some beatles anthology or something and my friend burned me 1.

I've always loved them but didnt start getting their albums until I was like 13 or 14.

[DeusExMachina]

I listened to The Beatles from kindergarten to about 6th grade, then got crappy music taste, then started listening to good music again.

[rockinbass17]

I remember afew years ago, when 1 came out, everyone started listening to The Beatles, but for some reason we only listened to the first five or so tracks and never heard any later stuff, which is of course much better. I only started listening to their really good material about a year ago.

[Flaminghotchino]

"The Beatles were good until they went all nuts in India"

haha.

[DeusExMachina]

"The Beatles were good until they went all nuts in India"

haha.
Who said that? It's funny how wrong it is.

[Flaminghotchino]

Who said that? It's funny how wrong it is.

It's from an episode of King of the Hill, I agree its VERY wrong, but I couldn't help but laugh.

I'm just imagining the beatles going to india, and their like "Hey guys we're in india..NO PARENTS!!! WOOO!!!" and they start dancing and going crazy.

lmao.

Once you type it out it doesn't seem as funny...oh well I still got the mental image.

[DeusExMachina]

Hahaha. That is a kind of funny mental image. So is them getting totally wasted on exotic indian drugs.

[Flaminghotchino]

That should be in an episode of family guy.

Yeah, that happened to me in 7th grade :upset:

Middle School=Suckage

I could say that the Beatles were single-handedly responsible for pulling me out of it, though

At least I never had a Titanic phase like my little sister

Same thing happened with me. Rubber Soul, Revolver, and especially Sgt. Pepper's along with Tommy by The Who pulled me out my crappy music phase.

[Walrus Gumboot]

I really didn't like Tommy the first time I heard it a few years ago, but I listened to it again last night and love it. I guess nobody gets high their first time :p

[DeusExMachina]

Tommy is amazing, probably my favorite album by The Who.

[robo2448]

I really didn't like Tommy the first time I heard it a few years ago, but I listened to it again last night and love it. I guess nobody gets high their first time :p

I didn't like it the first time I heard it either. But then I listened to it again, got the concept and thought the whole album was genius.

To make this Beatles related, All Things Must Pass by George Harrison really pwns.

[Adore]

The usual story with me as well. I've been listening to The Beatles as long as I can remember, thanks to my parents who were young of that era.

Lennon is my favourite solo...Followed by Paul, whose tour I saw live last year.

[Flaminghotchino]

I hate paul.


HATE.

[Walrus Gumboot]

I hate paul.


HATE.


But all you need is love? :confused:

[Lunch]

Oh good, I wondered in on some Tommy talk.

George is my favorite solo Beatle.

[robo2448]

I love all of them, but John or George is my favorite. Everyone seems to like Ringo and George, but a lot of people seem to either love or hate John and Paul.

[Walrus Gumboot]

/sick of favorite Beatle talk

I much prefer the favorite 5th Beatle talk

Wouldn't it be cool to be Dani Harrison and have an Uncle Clapton?

Dhani Harrison's cool. Such a cool name too.

[The Clash]

why hate Paul? Hes had the best solo career of them all

[Klander Brigade]

When I was like 7 or 8 they were my favorite band, had a bunch of their cds, knew all the songs and everything. That only lasted a few years though.

[The Clash]

Ive came on to the beatles in the past 3 months and ive always heard people say that they are the best band of all time and i never really cared for that too much. But after getting into them and learning about them, I do have to admidt that I think there the best band ever and there not my favortite, but they got the stats to say there the best ever.

[Krabsworth]

I had every Beatles album by the end of 6th grade.

[Walrus Gumboot]

**** rich kids


:p

[DeusExMachina]

I had every Beatles album by the time I was born! Oh! Burn! Beat that, sucka.

My parents have awesome taste in music.

[clown_phobia]

Has anyone heard Band on the Run by Paul McCartney's post beatles band Wings?

Its different to the Beatles but still very good.

[Flaminghotchino]

why hate Paul? Hes had the best solo career of them all

lol!

[El_Goodo]

Whoever said he hated Paul should not be in the Beatles thread. Because without Paul the Beatles wouldn't be what they were. And my favourite beatle is John! Paul had the most sucsesful solo career, but John had the best.

[RNR]

lol!

Be quiet, it's my opinion that he had the best after The beatles career too (I say after the beatles because that will include wings).

[RubyTuesday]

the white album is god-like and george harrison had the rockinest career- at least he didnt let his wife control his music *cough*john*cough*paul*

[Queeter]

I think that John had the best solo career by far. I think John's music was much more interesting and creative than Paul's. This could be due to the fact that I connect with John's ideals and songs more, though.

My favorite Beatles were always in this order: John, George, Paul, and then Ringo. I like John for his more "rocking" songs and interesting subject. George is my second favorite, because he is one of the best artist I've ever heard at writing "sensitive" type songs. I don't like Paul as much, because his songs seem overly sweet to me, although I do like some of his songs a lot. Ringo is my least favorite because he had the least amount of songs so you really can't judge him.

[Leper]

the white album is god-like and george harrison had the rockinest career- at least he didnt let his wife control his music *cough*john*cough*paul*

Yoko didn't control Johns music, just inspired some of it, and Linda McCartney didn't even want to be in music, Paul pressured her into it.

[Leper]

John's my favourite, and then i pretty much like the rest of them equally. John's songwriting has always astounded me though, and I think it only got better when paul suddenly had no say in their direction (john's songs i mean).

[Flaminghotchino]

I can't choose between John and George.

All I know is I hate paul.

and I can be in this thread and hate him. It's perfectly fine =)

[Leper]

I felt like I hated Paul for a while too. I realized though that some of his compositions were truly great (in my opinion) such as Lovely Rita, For No One, Blackbird and Helter Skelter.

I also had trouble between choosing between John and George for a while too. I eventually found that I liked John better though because he had so many more good songs. My favorite John songs are Happiness is a Warm Gun, A Day in the Life, Strawberry Fields Forever, You've Got to Hide Your Love Away and Norwegian Wood.

I hope you eventually start to like Paul, because he was a good songwriter and musician, even if he wasn't as good as John or George. So give some of those McCartney songs another chance and perhaps they'll grow on you and then you'll be able to enjoy even more of the Beatles' music.

[The Taxman]

Dude, get out. If it wasn't for Paul, there would be no Beatles. He was one of the best bassists who ever lived. Listen to the bass lines in Hello, Goodbye, Penny Lane, or just any other song. Listen how he sings and yet plays such a technical bass line at the same time. No one could do that at that time...

Oh, and I disagree that George had the best solo career. Most of his songs were religious and about life.

I think that John had the best solo career because his songs were abstract and you had to think about them. He also had the best voice, I think. (Him or Paul.)

[The Taxman]

I'm reading a lot of these posts and again, I am bewildered how much you guys single out Paul and say that you hate him. It makes me mad as hell! If you hate Paul, you're saying you hate the ****ing Beatles for crying out loud!

[The Taxman]

the white album is god-like and george harrison had the rockinest career- at least he didnt let his wife control his music *cough*john*cough*paul*


She didn't control his music like what lepper said, she inspired him. But John started acting more differnt when he was with her. He started use drugs a lot and he did that whole "naked" thing with her.

[Jacaranda]

I'm reading a lot of these posts and again, I am bewildered how much you guys single out Paul and say that you hate him. It makes me mad as hell! If you hate Paul, you're saying you hate the ****ing Beatles for crying out loud!
I used to dislike Paul for various reasons back when I was 10 and thought he was the cause of their break-up.
But more recently Paul and I have made ammends.

[DeusExMachina]

Taxman, learn how to edit posts.

People, if he says he hates Paul, he says he hates Paul. I don't know why he hates Paul, but don't go flipping out about it. I love Pink Floyd, I post in that thread VERY regularly, and I find that Roger Waters was a bit of a prick. I respect his songwriting abilities tremendously, but I don't like his character. Does that mean I can't post there? No. Paul is a very big liberal political activist, heavily into PETA and all that, and if someone doesn't agree with him personally, they have the right to say so. Now, like I said, I don't know why he said he doesn't like Paul, but at least try and find out if he has a decent reason before mindlessly telling him to leave my thread.

So, Rubber Soul... totally awesome, yes? I love You Won't See Me and Nowhere Man. Really awesome tracks, don't get much talk about. And about half of the other tracks on that album as well.

[bmxrunner]

One of my favourite is Norwegian Wood. First song put on the radio with a sitar. :D

[Flaminghotchino]

Let me rephrase this.

As a musician I respect paul for the most part. Of course the beatles wouldn't be the same, and I too really love some of pauls work.

As a person... He just seems annoying to me.. REALLY annoying.. Don't ask me why, prolly some trauma I had when I was younger. But he's always been my least favorite beatle. Just personality wise he has done some things I don't care much for.

Perhaps "hate" was too strong a word, but whatever.

What did Paul do to you that was annoying?

[Illmatic]

I also used to hate Paul, but I've made amends with him.

My least favorite is probably John. Don't get me wrong he was a terrific songwriter, but as a human being he annoyed the living hell out of me.

[Leper]

Ya guys, really if he hates Paul, then he hates Paul and he has a right to his opinion. Besides it doesn't hurt you any. In response to Rubber Soul, I love You Won't See Me, Nowhere Man, Girl, and Norwegian Wood, but a lot of the other stuff on there i think is below par.

[Flaminghotchino]

What did Paul do to you that was annoying?

He played with U2.

Or should I say U-Poo

omg im so clever. :lol:

Well if he hates Paul then he doesn't really belong in a Beatles thread. Hating Paul would cancel out 90% of Sgt. Pepper, and probably more than 50% of The Beatles songs. The four of them together made the beatles what they were. So it doesn't seem right to like three of them...and also he didnt give any reason why he hates Paul. He just said I hate Paul all I know is I hate Paul...**** I hate Paul.

He said after, that he hates Paul's personality, and gave him credit for much of the Beatles work. I'm not that fond of Paul's personality either. I've been reading the Beatles "Anthology" and in many quotes Paul seems kind of stuck up. Though I must admit, he put on the best halftime show i've seen in a long time...except for Janet of course. :naughty:

[Jacaranda]

John's had quiet the ego himself... I've read some stuff about him trashing the Rolling Stones. But thats just the way John was, I still love him.

[Leper]

Ya John did have quite the ego, you can see some of that in HIS quotes too. I didn't hear about him trashing the Rolling Stones though. But I admire John Lennon way too much for his ego to bother me anyway.

[Jacaranda]

I wish I could remember what he said but it was along to lines of: The Rolling Stones are 3 years behind in copying us. And the popular "Stones are just a rip off of the Beatles."

[Leper]

omg im so clever. :lol:
That's a good reason to dislike someone. I can't stand U2.

And John clearly had a big ego. Let us not forget the famous "we're more popular than Jesus" remark.

[Leper]

That's a good reason to dislike someone. I can't stand U2.

Don't even bring that up, every time i hear that i get angry because of how the remark was twisted around by the media. He was simply making an observation that there were more people at their concerts, than there were people attending church. But it was twisted around so badly that they made him sound like he thought they were better than jesus. Goddam media :angry:

[Flaminghotchino]

Yeah, I don't think he ment it as a "we're better then Jesus" remark but more as a take on what the world has come too, when a pop-band can be more "popular" then Jesus himself.

basically what lepper said.

[Illmatic]

John Lennon was by far and away the most pretentious member of The Beatles...I just wish I can remember the quote he had about the cover of Two Virgins.

[Leper]

Hehe, two virgins.

"Hey Johnny, I can see your doodle!"

"Shut up Flanders."

:lol:

I agree it was twisted by the media and whatnot, but regardless of why he said it, it is undisputable that the words "we are more popular than Jesus" or some variant thereof were spoken by Lennon. Why? Who cares. The point is he said it, and no matter why, it takes an ego to say something like that.

[MBS]

When he said "We're more popular than Jesus" he was making a religious remark. Because of the decline of Christianity in Europe, and the rising of Beatlemania, John was comparing them as an analogy that no one seemed to get.

Stupid media. *pouts*

That's true, no matter what he actually meant, it took at lot of balls to make that remark.

[Flaminghotchino]

^ Agreed.


I agree with you, that what he said took some balls, but it also took some arrogance. Bottom line John Lennon = Awesome.

Edited for MisterSkys approval :thumb:

Add more content to your posts. Saying agreed is the same thing as saying 123 which is a bannable offense, so edit! :eek:

No, it was in the one where Homer forgets to pick up bart from his soccer practice, and then Bart ends up filing for a big brother.

Best part of the episode: When Homer and Tom (Bart's big brother) are fighting in the street and homer get knocked out and falls on a fire hydrant, getting bent over backwards, and says in a hilariously calm voice.."This is even more painfull than it looks" :lol: :lol: :lol:

John and Yoko wanted to make a sound collage that sounded like what a revolution theoretically sounds like

I think that's the story, at least.

John just started to put loops on backwards, and then started collecting them and making them with Yoko and putting them all together. He got a little obsessed with it

The number nine was an engineer saying the number of the track or something, John liked it and threw it in

Dude, get out. If it wasn't for Paul, there would be no Beatles. He was one of the best bassists who ever lived. Listen to the bass lines in Hello, Goodbye, Penny Lane, or just any other song. Listen how he sings and yet plays such a technical bass line at the same time. No one could do that at that time...

Oh, and I disagree that George had the best solo career. Most of his songs were religious and about life.

I think that John had the best solo career because his songs were abstract and you had to think about them. He also had the best voice, I think. (Him or Paul.)

You are totally right about how complex Pauls basslines were. He also sang at he same time and did a great job indeed for how those basslines are played.

Dude, you've already raised a stink in the FF thread. Please don't come to my thread making ridiculously ignorant statements.

[JonG]

1. Their teeth and haircuts have no bearing on their music.

2. They didn't write stupid love songs. Their earlier albums were largely based around love songs and covers, true (although they pretty much revolutionised the purpose of albums from being backups to the single). By Help! their songwriting was really maturing, and moving away from the stereotype you're talking about.

3. No talent? You've got to be kidding me. Phil Collins, drummer of prog band Genesis is on record as saying that Ringo Starr did stuff that drummers now would find very hard to imitate. Paul McCartney was proficient in multiple instruments and revolutionised the role of the bass guitar in modern music. George Harrison is renowned as having one of the best feels for his instrument of the '60s era of music.

Please, don't make that your last post in the thread by the way...it's gotten boring over the last few weeks, and this could be quite fun.

When does Paul's tour actually start? I can't wait to hear opinions. I will most likely write a brief review of the show after I go.

[RNR]

Me too. He's done very well in the few performances he's given in the last little while. I'm excited to see him.

[rockinbass17]

4th page? bump.

I've heard his Back in the USA live album and it was pretty good. He even did well at th superbowl, so I think his new tour will be a good one.

[MBS]

Yeah Back in the US is a really good album, I enjoy it a lot. You forgot to mention he was phenomenal during Live 8. Except when he sang just the last bit of Hey Jude for 7 minutes. He could have done the whole song.

[MBS]

He was incredible at Live 8...his opening the show with U2 was so good, especially as they'd barely rehearsed it apparently, but the best song he did was easily Helter Skelter. I'm a massive fan of that song, and just the way that it's so intense compared to some of the band's other work, but the way he did it live was amazing. His drummer was going completely mental as well.

His drummer was amazing in that song. Everytime they zoomed in on him, he had this face of just built of rage during the "When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide..." and the finally when that ended he just went nuts on everything.

I didn't like the Long and Winding Road. I was really looking foward to it, but it was kind of a dissapointment.

What other songs did he play?

[Seafroggys]

I missed live 8. I wanted to see Who, PInk FLoyd, and Paul McCartney, especially the song Helter Skelter. He really needs to play that on his next tour!

[Jacaranda]

Live 8 :(

My story on that was I recorded it cause I was visting Grandma and right when the Who came on and I heard the opening of Won't Get Fooled Again, if I remember correctly, the tape stopped because it was full and didn't record Pink Floyd or the Who or Paul. I was pissed.

[robo2448]

- I REALLY like the older Beatles more than the earlier Beatles. Like all the albums "Let It Be", "Sargent Pepper", "The White Album", "Magical Mystery Tour", "Abbey Road" and so on.

[Relmar'd]

Im looking for a concert the Beatles perfomed, though I cant take any pictures of mpegs. If any of you have Anthology, its on Disc 2... at 58:10, with George performing Roll Over Beethoven.

I can describe the set as very well lighted, it has a white floors and white rims around the audience. I have only found 2 performances, the Beethoven one and Cant Buy Me Love. I would love to know what concert/show and where I could buy the full one.

[RNR]

- I REALLY like the older Beatles more than the earlier Beatles. Like all the albums "Let It Be", "Sargent Pepper", "The White Album", "Magical Mystery Tour", "Abbey Road" and so on.

That doesn't make sense. Older means earlier. You mean the later Beatles. And I agree with you.

[MBS]

We got Get Back, which was kind of cool, Drive My Car which he dueted with George Michael (formerly of Wham! on), which was surprisingly good, Helter Skelter, Long And Winding Road and a semi-version of Hey Jude. I'd say Long And Winding Road was the worst song out of those, although I never liked it as a song in itself to begin with. I doubt he would have played it (seriously, Let It Be was made for a show like Live 8), but Geldof asked him to because it was meant to kick off the start of people heading up to Edinburgh.

Ah yes, thanks for refreshing my memory. Get Back was good. Drive My Car was excellent, Helter Skelter you already have my opinion on :p. I stand by my opinion that The Long and Winding Road was a dissapointment. I wished he could have played the whole Hey Jude instead of just the "Na-na-na-nananana's" because what he played at the Super Bowl was fantastic.


That doesn't make sense. Older means earlier. You mean the later Beatles. And I agree with you.

Yeah, that confused me too. But I'm sure most people agree in this thread. Later Beatles was just when they got way more creative.

[RNR]

Yep. Although their earlier stuff was great too.

[MBS]

Totally, I think "All My Loving", "We Can Work It Out" are all great songs.

[Jacaranda]

We Can Work It Out is a Pop music master piece I heard it for the first time in about a year about 3 weeks ago and it made me remember that post '65 wasn't their only time of good music.

[DeusExMachina]

I love the Beatles early stuff.

Is it just me, or does McCartney's drummer seem really out of place?

[Distant Echoes]

I think he has a good drummer. Seemed a bit out of place the first time I seen him (Live 8), but I think he's worthy. Making playing look really intense though...good show.

My local radio station is doing Beatles A-Z this weekend. Their playing every beatles song every recoded in alphabetical order, they started on friday at 3:00 and finished saturday at 1:00 (w/ commercials). Their stating again saturday at 6:00, its really sweet.

Occasionally I would follow the songs they were doing on my mp3 player since it organizes it all alphabetically, and apperently Im missing one beatles album, but i dont know which one. Its defintaly early, but i cant find a decent discography without singles/vinyl/Greatest hits/random crap tied in to just regular studio albums. but Im doing better then i thought....

[Dave de Sylvia]

When I saw Macca, he introduced the band gradually. After he introduced the drummer, the drummer stood up and started yelling, "Are you ready to raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaackkkk?" Scary stuff.

[DeusExMachina]

That's what I mean. He's a good drummer and all, does a good Ringo impression, but he just seems out of place. He's the kind of drummer I'd expect to see in a heavy metal band, not in Paul McCartney's band.

[robo2448]

I watched A Hard Days Night last night :cool: It was awesome. I think I like Help more though. I then started reading The Beatles Anthology again, and got hooked on it. I loved reading about their time in Hamburg, when John would get drunk, go up on stage in his underwear and a toilet seat around his neck, and call the audience ****ing Nazis :lol:

An another thing that makes this film so great is the fact the the guys were stoned through most of the production.

[Ulysses]

Yeah, I read about it in the Anthology which is why I'm so keen to see one, being stoned and making some off-the-wall movie and knowing that because of your fame that it will be viewed by millions of people must have been a great feeling.

Yeah, Gimme Some Truth, one of the greatest songs of all time!

On the "Fly on the Wall" CD or whatever the bonus CD is that comes with Let it Be....Naked, there's a brief section where John plays the first bit of Imagine on the piano, but its still a very infant idea at that point in time.

/throws a goat on the alter in worship

[Seafroggys]

Imagine wouldn't be too much different IMO. The bass line would be more complex, because Klaus Voorman never ever did anything beyond the most basic basslines, I"m sure Paul would spiffy it up like he did with Something.

Also there might be some guitar work from George as well.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Well Harrison was on a few of the album's tracks, don't forget, so perhaps not.

[DeusExMachina]

I can't imagine Imagine (heh...) having a guitar solo in it. It would just be out of place.

[Walrus Gumboot]

Klaus Voorman gets props from me for doing the Revolver album cover. In fact he is the first non-beatle to appear on a Beatles album cover (Revolver)

I feel that way with a lot of songs on the White Album. They just have little elements that are annoying. I think one interesting thing, though, is how a lot (if not all) songs on it end with a little random bit, and all those random bits appear in Revolution 9.

They could have recorded it on a different track. They had to have had at least 4-tracks by 1968-- The Grateful Dead had 16 in 1969
Paul did double-tack harmonies with himself as early as 1963 with "A Taste of Honey" on Please Please Me, so it's definatly possible

I read somewhere that it was Paul, but I guess it could be any one of them. Sometimes, rarely, I can't tell them apart. Like who screams "She loves you yeah yeah yeah" at the end of All You Need Is Love?

[ween2424]

I find I don't care. Please back up opinions if you're going to walk into a thread dedicated to a band and say you don't like the band.
I'm not saying I don't like them, I just don't understand why their the biggest band ever. Then again, I haven't really heard alot of the Beatles' stuff, mostly popular stuff. I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm done.

I always thought that was Paul. But, I could be wrong.

That's right, you haven't heard enough to base an opinion. Listen to most of their later albums, then return with your opinion.

[electric+bass=mmmmmm]

I find the Beatles ove .

This thread wasn't started just so you could make fun of them.

[DeusExMachina]

Moving on...

I'm going to see McCartney in just over a month! I'm really excited.

[TheBeatlesarecoming]

The Beatles were amazing. Do you think they would have been as good if they were from any other era? How do you think there music would have changed?

Or don't return, it doesn't matter to us :D

[Seafroggys]

Beatles got 4 track for their second album "With the Beatles", and finally got 8 track at Abbey Road for the album, well, "Abbey Road" though they had an 8 track at Apple Studios for the "let it Be" album.

[Illmatic]

:eek: page 3 omg!

I'll bump this up by asking: Who do you think was the better singer, Paul or John?

Me and my girlfriend were talking about this today. I insist that Paul was better for obvious reasons (just listen to both of them sing!) but she says John was better because his voice "fit his songs".

Tough one. I personally like John's voice more, but Paul's voice is great too. Helter Skelter has some great singing by Paul, but I feel that John is able to sing with more emotion.

[Walrus Gumboot]

I think Paul's is the better, but John's voice was so expressive. It grows on my still when Paul's becaomes boring

[Dave de Sylvia]

I think John's voice was a bit more "rock". Paul could switch it on (see: Helter Skelter), but I feel in John's songs like he could easily start screaming (see: Well Well Well). That said, I'd probably take Paul's voice, because he just sounds great.

[robo2448]

I think that Paul's voice has actually improved over the years. His vocals on Helter Skelter at Live 8 were amazing and better than his original vocals for that song IMO.

[rockinbass17]

I like Paul's voice better alone, but I feel both of them singing together sounds better than either of the apart, for that's a definate part of The Beatels sound.

[CockeyedMaverik]

personally whoever sings let it be is the best singer. I love whoever that is.



edit: I love john lennons voice in imagine though. I think that song alone makes his solo career the most worthwhile.

[DeusExMachina]

I think Paul is a more talented singer, but John's singing is more expressive. They're both great, though.

[RNR]

It's hard to compare. I think that they're pretty even. All of the Beatles were good singers, though.

[Jacaranda]

Sorry to change subjects but I was watching the History channel and it was talking about why David Chapman killed John Lennon, and he did it to be famous which really pissed me off. Then it showed people talking about how he was alive and it was just a joke and I found myself teary eyed. :upset: I dunno I just had to mention that.

[Seafroggys]

Paul was technically better, but John had the better voice as far as sound quality goes.

Both are good, don't get me wrong, and together oh **** man! But John's performance on Imagine is literally unbeatable by anyone else.

[clown_phobia]

Oh yeah Imagine is perfect, in fact its the perfect song. My only complaint about it is that the drums are too dead, they need a bit of reverb IMO.

I actually really like the drums on that song

[DeusExMachina]

Everyone mentions Lennon's "hard rock singing," but I never think of him as the hard rock singer of the group. That title always goes to McCartney, in my opinion.

As for the drums on Imagine, I don't notice them much. But, I'm not a drummer, so I don't notice the drums much on most songs.

He didnt do it to be famous. I watched something on the life channel yesterday called John Lennon: The Man Who Shot. And Dave Chapman said he did it because of the book the catcher in the rye. He was following the book, and he believed John Lennon was a big phony. It's really messed up.

And if you listen to the plastic ono band, or twist and shout you will see why we talk about John Lennon's rock n roll singing.

[Seafroggys]

Yeah seriously Plastic ONo Band really showcases John's hardcore singing (hah). The screaming at the end of MOther always gives me chills.

Twist and SHout is another example.

But when it comes to the soft singing, I always prefer Lennon's vocals.

And yes I:m a drummer, its the first thing I listen for in a song.

[Jacaranda]

Oh my I think we were watching the same show, sept for I saw it on the History Channel.

What I ment is he wanted to be remembered for that, he was going to kill himself until he read that book and thought of John as one of the hypocrites in the book. He was very envyous of John and hated him so he decided he'd take Johns' life; to be the man who killed a legend.
But that guy changes his mind on why he did it every 5 years. I remember like when he wanted to get out on parol he said he did it cause he was just plain crazy or something.

Mostly because of Helter Skelter I'm guessing?..

[DeusExMachina]

Mostly because of Helter Skelter I'm guessing?..
Actually, no. I've always had that opinion, since before I'd ever heard the White Album. I honestly don't know why.

The guy who shot Lennon said he did it to be famous in his last parole hearing. Not sure what he said initially, but that's his most recent reason.

[blue3]

I love John and Paul's voice. I like John's voice more though.

[adioviva]

im really not sure why they knighted paul mcartney. While i have some respect for lennon (more respect for baggin an asian girl, even if it is yoko ono, which in retrospect is really what killed him, but thats another story entirely). mcartney is a hack, and almost every time i hear a song sung by him, or even an interview, i kind of throw up in my mouth....

:chug: all the cool kids drink beer

[rockinbass17]

^^wha........??

[Jacaranda]

All the cool kids make sense. :)

What did Stu _______ die of again? Their first bassist, his last name and death are escaping me right now.

[adioviva]

you see, despite being asian, and therefore more attractive than most normal woman, yoko ono actually used her beautiful asianality to lure lennon into a government trap. as you know, the government was watching lennon, they percieved as a threat to national security, he was a drug user, and was sort of like a pied piper into weird freaky hippy hedonism for kids. now yoko ono was japanese, we all know that there was a great mistrust of japanese in america around those times following world war 2 and the cold war. why do you think yoko ono got away with all the stuff she did, she cut a deal on the behalf of japan with the american government to nix lennon forever. they hired the gunman, planted a fake story, and made him shoot lennon, thus ending the threat. the reason no one knows why he shot lennon is because the government never came up with a good story, so you can believe that he wanted to be famous, or the book the catcher in the rye made him do it.
:rolleyes:

[Jacaranda]

Uh, don't do drugs kids.

Sutfclif? Or something like that. He died of a Brain Hemorage.
