George Harrison can't even compare to Mike Einziger or Daron Malakian

That remark lost that kid all credibility he had.

Oh well. Not everyone's gonna like the Beatles.

I believe your ">'s" are on backwards.

Or maybe they aren't :upset:

[magicbus]

Let's take the Beatles hating to another thread guys. This is getting sickening.

[nirvana_33]

I saw Paul McCartney last Friday.



Just thought I would say that.

I love The Beatles.

[Violent_Bill]

Whats up with his lack of touring anywhere near me? Maybe it was all those letters written in blood I sent him...

[jerry_soh_619]

paul mccartny isent anything special huh? dude try playing baby shes a rich man, 1 after 909, all my loving, and lots more im a guitar player but im in a beatle tribute band and i can tell u that paul mccartney's basslines are way more techinicaly way more catchy way more grounbreaking that anyones of all time by my calculation the stones didnt perform their first gig till 62 hmmm by 62 the beatles already released the please please me album so your saying the stones didnt ride the beatle coatail? jaja hell yes they did, the beatles were a band like all the other in england? jajaja that just got lucky? jaja nah thats just straight up talking out of your *** there were other band like the kinks and the shadows but the beatles put it on the map! to say the stones didnt stray away too far away from the comfort zone is an understatement, fact is that was their bread and butter! the stones are a great band, but they are no beatles, they are neighter as big, as revolutionary or as influential as the beatles there can only be one ''greatest''and that honor goes to john,paul,george and ringo its just that simple

[BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please-]

^Perhaps you'd like to back that up with more facts and less opinions?

If it's possesive and the thing that is possesing is plural (Which it is, BeatleS), it is s'

On the other hand if it were just George Harrison's ***, it would be 's

Huh? I think either I'm confused or you are! I was making a poor attempt to call to Stones the greatest again, just a little joke or what not. Because all his ">" were that way I told him to flip um around "<" that way! To show the Stones are the best!
But thanks for the grammar lesson I'm horrible at knowing were to put s' or 's, no joke's.

[Carne Evil]

So...anyway, lets get back to the Beatles. Does anyone else own the Concert for Bangladesh (sp?) on dvd. Its great to see Gearge, Ringo, Clapton, Leon, and Bob Dylan all together in concert. I definately thought it was worth the money

[El_Goodo]

I own it :) Ringo's song is sweet. Did you watch the documentary? Haha it said Eric Clapton didnt show up for any of the rehersals and played perfectley at the show. And also Dylan just walked on stage when he wanted to play.

[Lunch]

I'm glad no one had a heart attack over my comment. I was expecting someone to freak out.

[blue3]

It's the internet.

[Jacaranda]

Oh quiet the contrary I freaked out so much I lost control and couldn't even type.

[Lunch]

It's the internet.

You'd be amazed. I probably killed a die-hard Beatles fan.

[Leper]

/dies.

Aww I missed all the conversation! That's the most dialog this thread has seen in...ever.

[blue3]

Haha you missed it.

Actually, you didn't miss anything..

[Leper]

I find it funny that the Stones and Beatles always seem to be pitted against each other in some sort of rivalry, meanwhile they were good friends in actuality.

[W.M.A]

probably cos true rock stars like the beatles and stones dont really care what ppl think, and therefore are able to overlook useless comparisons and realise theyre all likeable ppl. besides ne sane person knows with these two giants its all opinion newho.

[blue3]

So, my friend was offered 2000 dollars for her Stones tickets, but she said no.

[Leper]

Ya...I just found it funny..

[Leper]

So, my friend was offered 2000 dollars for her Stones tickets, but she said no.

Shake her hand for me. How much did she pay for them?

[blue3]

Normal price. I'm not sure exactly how much. But, 2000 dollars! I would've taken that offer.. probably cause I'm not that big of a Stones fan anyway.

[Paranoidd]

Normal price. I'm not sure exactly how much. But, 2000 dollars! I would've taken that offer.. probably cause I'm not that big of a Stones fan anyway.

I would have done the same. $2000 is alot of money if you've ever been broke. The Stones will tour another few times again, haha.

[Leper]

Normal price. I'm not sure exactly how much. But, 2000 dollars! I would've taken that offer.. probably cause I'm not that big of a Stones fan anyway.

Maybe if I'd seen them before I'd sell them, but you never know how much longer they're going to be around.

NP: Tom Petty- Into the Great Wide Open (I love this song so much)

[blue3]

Well, you could take the money, buy plane tickets and see the Stones somewhere else or something.

[Leper]

What if they're all sold out everywhere (which I imagine they are) and you're left Stones-less?

[blue3]

Buy a ticket from someone.

[Leper]

Buy a ticket from someone.

But what if they want $2000, no less, which you don't have because of the money you spent on the plane ticket..?

[blue3]

Then I won't see the Stones and I'll use the money to buy Beatles action figures.

[Seafroggys]

Yeah I have concert for Bangladesh on video.....It Don't Come Easy is probably at its best at that concert.

Wasn't that the gig where Eric died from an OD or something right before comign on, then was resusitated and went and did the gig.

[Leper]

Then I won't see the Stones and I'll use the money to buy Beatles action figures.

Heh, alright, good answer.

[blue3]

Heh, alright, good answer.:) ..I actually don't own any action figures of any bands which sucks.

I still need to get 'Concert for Bangladesh'..

[PinkFreud]

Yeah I have concert for Bangladesh on video.....It Don't Come Easy is probably at its best at that concert.

Wasn't that the gig where Eric died from an OD or something right before comign on, then was resusitated and went and did the gig.
yeah, he collapsed right after shooting up, was revived, and then went on to play.

wacky clapton.

[Carne Evil]

Wasn't that the gig where Eric died from an OD or something right before comign on, then was resusitated and went and did the gig.

I could be wrong, but whenever I watch It Don't Come Easy it seems to me that Ringo losses his place about halfway through the song. He keeps mumbling in tune, but I don't think the words he said were the real lyrics.

[El_Goodo]

Is it just me or does anyone else think Window, Window is a great song?

Was it only ever recorded during the let it be sessions? Or was it recorded on any of Harrison's solo albums? I love it :)

[TheDMV]

I heard Magical Mystery Tour (the song) for the first time today. Is the rest of the album like that? My hippie friends like it, and I'd like to diversify my Beatles collection, so considering it is BEatles work: how highly recommended does it come?

[MBS]

Magical Mystery Tour is just an overall cool album, I'll send it to you over email soon.

[BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please-]

It used to be my favorite Beatles album until I discovered how perfect Revolver really was. "Strawberry Fields Forever", "I Am The Walrus", "Penny Lane", "All You Need Is Love" and "Fool On The Hill" are the highlights of the album. It is fantastic and must need for any Beatles fan IMO.

[TheDMV]

I really do need more BEatles albums; it's a shame I've "overlooked" them. When I was first getting into to music, I enjoyed there work on Beatles1, but I sort of forgot about them when I would write all my favorite classic rock bands on my binder etc. MY brother picked up a few more of their albums and I have consistently enjoyed Beatles music yet never looked much farther into them.

[blue3]

MMT is a good album. I like all the songs on it. Revolver is great too.

I love it, probably my third favourite after White and Revolver. Get it!

[Seafroggys]

MMT is great. Probably third or fourth favorite, behind Abbey Road, White Album, and Let it Be Naked

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

I would have to say that MMT is my fav Beatle Album (looks at name). It has alot of great songs, like "Hello Goodbye, Strawberry Feilds Forever, MMT and Your Mother Shoul Know." Sure it wasn't relased in the U.K till 76', but it was still a very good album.

[MBS]

Your Mother Should Know.

Let's all get up and dance to a song that was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long long time ago
Your Mother Should Know.

Love that song. :D

[Lunch]

MMT is my 3rd favorite behind the White Album and Abbey Road.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

MMT is my 3rd favorite behind the White Album and Abbey Road.

The White Album is one of their best albums, with some great songs like "While my Guitar Gently Weeps, Rocky Raccon, Yer Blues, Happiness is a warm Gun and Helter Skelter," but it also has some of their worst songs, IMO, like "Honey Pie, Wild Honey Bye, Good Night, Long Long Long and Savoy Truffle." Still a good album though.

[Lunch]

No doubt about that filler on the White Album. However, the best songs on it are up there with the best Beatles songs, so it can out weigh the crap.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

No doubt about that filler on the White Album. However, the best songs on it are up there with the best Beatles songs, so it can out weight the crap.

Agreed.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

Man I just saw the sweetest thing I've seen in a while. It was at the Rolling Stones Rock N' Roll Circus, and it was a preformence, 1968, of the White Album great "Yer Blues." The catch is, is it was not the Beatles preforming it, or at least not all of them. It was John on Rythm/Vocals, Clapton on lead guitar, Keith Richards on bass and the drummer from the Hendrix experience( the name escapes me right now. Thats alot of talent in one show.

[Jacaranda]

Mitch Mitchell was Jimi Drummer.
The Who Performance > Any band on there, they totally stole the show. But only because Brian Jones was too drunk and stoned to play decently!

[magicbus]

That was an awesome version of "Yer Blues". I want to get Rock N' Roll Circus just for that.

[El_Goodo]

Yeah...lol the conversation before Yer Blues is retarded lol, there both stoned out of there minds.

Keith: Yer Blues John! Yer Blues!

[Lunch]

Mitch Mitchell was Jimi Drummer.
The Who Performance > Any band on there, they totally stole the show. But only because Brian Jones was too drunk and stoned to play decently!

They didn't go through with the idea because of how badly the Who owned the rest of the competition.

[Jacaranda]

Oh, go look at kiddie porn Pete. Wait, what? :)

I just relistened to Let It Be, Sgt. Peppers and remembered why Sgt. Peppers rules so beatlecore.

This is disgusting I just happen to be listening to Who's Next... I'm ready to pull a Van Gogh.

[Leper]

There's not a single bad song on Sgt. Peppers. It's simply an incredible album. Magical Mystery Tour is definitely a must own as well, as Schyma mentioned. My mom has it on vinyl, so I asked her if I could have it and she said sure, she never liked it anyway.:) (She's more of a fan of early Beatles material. She describes Magical Mystery Tour as "when the Beatles went weird."):lol:

[Seafroggys]

I really want to see that Yer Blues performance....and yeah, The Who did completly own (I saw it on TKAA)

Lunch, why do you always must whore the Who in this thread ;)

I remember a week or two ago informing my guitarist that The Beatles psychadelic era wasn't their late era, rather than their middle (I consider late White Album, Let it Be, Abbey Road).

Because I have nothing better to do, and no one else will whore the Who so I feel obligated. To be fair though, I didn't even bring it up.

Why don't people just follow Yoko's lead and celebrate him on his b-day as opposed to his d-day?

Even though it will be 25 years on the 8th. I remember the 20th anniversary and thought that was a long *** time ago.

[Lunch]

Because it's a scientific fact that Yoko sucks. Except in this case she makes sense.

[Leper]

I don't think sucking can be related to science:p. I think we went through this conversation before about celebrating birthdays as opposed to death-days (not in this thread but on the forums). If you ask me though, deaths hold a deeper feeling than births. You don't know someone when they're born, for the most part. But everyone knows when someone famous dies.

John Lennon did NOT write Imagine

Yes, he did?

And thats why its copy writed to his name?

"It was the Sixties, and I met this guy, he said he was John Lennon, so I said, Imagine that!, so ya see? The bastard stole my lyrics!"

[DeusExMachina]

Huh?...
Don't ask me. I was tired at the time.

[Seafroggys]

Lennon wrote imagine, stop trying to grab attention by being different and stirring the pot.

[Leper]

Oh, ok then. So I just got to the part in the Anthology book where John and George first took LSD by mistake. George makes it sound like the best thing that ever happened to him..

Is there more than one Anthology book, like the albums? Or can I just get the one book and not have to worry about finding the rest?

[Krabsworth]

I think the Anthology book is just one massive book.

[Leper]

Ya I'm pretty sure it's just one big book, that's what I have anyways.

[Seafroggys]

it makes sense, since the one book covers their entire career in great detail....i dunno though :rolleyes:

[MBS]

Wow, I just came back from Paul (it was yesterday, but I had to drive back from Vegas) and he was soo good! He lived up to my expectations, for sure.

[Seafroggys]

He beat my expectations the first time I saw him, and matched them the second time....

for the first time I saw him (in '02) I was afraid he wouldn't be any good because he was in his 60s, but **** he sang just as well as he ever has.

[magicbus]

it makes sense, since the one book covers their entire career in great detail....i dunno though :rolleyes:

Hey thanks jackass. I've never seen the book, so how am I supposed to know how much of their career it covers?

..and I'm only about half-way through, so ya..

[blue3]

Is it interesting?

[Seafroggys]

Hey thanks jackass. I've never seen the book, so how am I supposed to know how much of their career it covers?

oh sorry, i assumed you had read the book already, my mistake

[Leper]

It's so good. I like the way it's written too. There's no narraration, it's made up entirely of Beatles/people close to the band quotes. Does anyone know if the DVD's are done the same way?

[Cal_on_drums]

My God! I wanna see Paul M. so much. Does anyone have an idea to when he'll come to UK? From how others described his performance, I NEED to go!

I think he might be doing a world tour next year to promote his new album. If he's witty at all he'll call it the "When I'm 64" tour.

[DeusExMachina]

I haven't gotten around to reading the Anthology yet. Just don't have the time. I should though.

/Probably a late post.

[Leper]

I think he might be doing a world tour next year to promote his new album. If he's witty at all he'll call it the "When I'm 64" tour.

If not, I'm sure he'll still come up with something as clever.

[blue3]

I hope he tours again. And he better come to more Canadian cities.

[MBS]

If not, I'm sure he'll still come up with something as clever.

Because "US Tour" was extremely clever.

[Leper]

Because "US Tour" was extremely clever.

Haha I didn't know that was the name of his current tour. :lol:

[blue3]

Oh.. yeah that'd make sense why he didn't go to Canada.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

Not coming to Canada. That's mean to all us Canadian fans. :upset:

[DeusExMachina]

Haha I didn't know that was the name of his current tour. :lol:
It's not. It's the "chaos and creation" tour. After the new album.

However, he did have the "Back in the US" tour which, although being a play on Back in the USSR, still was a lame name.

[MBS]

It's the "chaos and creation" tour. After the new album.


It says US TOUR 2005 on my shirt, wtf?

[Broken Arrow]

Not coming to Canada. That's mean to all us Canadian fans. :upset:
He did come to Toronto.

[DeusExMachina]

It says US TOUR 2005 on my shirt, wtf?
Pwned. On the back of mine it says Paul McCartney in the funny ambigram letters, and under that it says "Chaos and Creation in the Backyard." And then it has all the tour dates. Doesn't say US TOUR 2005 anywhere.

[Ephemeral]

I wanna see him so bad. :(

[Leper]

He did come to Toronto.

Yeah but who actually considers Toronto as part of Canada anymore?:p

[blue3]

So, that's one place.

I wanna see him so bad. :(Yeah, same.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

Yeah but who actually considers Toronto as part of Canada anymore?:p

123 :lol:. I guess so, but he left the whole western half of the country out.

[Leper]

123 :lol:. I guess so, but he left the whole western half of the country out.

Hmm, sounds eerily familiar to the canadian government...:upset:

But I digress.

I still have yet to see someone with the same Beatles shirt as me. This makes me happy.:)

Hey MMT good luck in the noob of the month vote.

Thanks for nominating me jerk:p

[blue3]

What Beatles shirt is that?

[Leper]

It's grey and says the beatles across the top and has a picture of all four of them just looking at the camera. It looks like the Abbey Road era because John has that huge beard.

[blue3]

I have that one!


Actually, I own no Beatles shirts :upset: ..I have a Lennon shirt though.

[Leper]

Haha, you scared me there for a second.

A friend of mine has a very cool Lennon shirt. It's black and at the top says "The War is Over" and has a pic of him playing the piano.

[blue3]

So, steal it.. Mine says 'Give Peace A Chance' at the back and has Lennon's face on it with a peace sign.

[Leper]

I would never do such a thing. Stealing from a girl is low.

[blue3]

Hah okay then.

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

I would never do such a thing. Stealing from a girl is low.

Which one, the psychadelic picture? Cause that would be an AWESOME shirt.

[DeusExMachina]

I want a George Harrison shirt. That would be awesome.

Welcome back Walrus.

[WelcomeToTheMachine]

i have a Beatles shirts, 2 Lennons, and a Harrison, one of the BEatles is from Abbey Road, the other is of the band playing live in the srg peppers era(but didnt they stop playing live before that?) maybe it wasnt a real show, just a photo shoot or something, my first Lennon is the Give Peace A chance one mentioned above and on that has Lennon on front and it says Revolution on the back, and my harrison one is him playing live during the late beatles-ATMP era

in other news i have just completed a trade with someone online for some beatles bootlegs, im expecting them in the mail this week, it has the Alternate version of almost all the albums, the different mono versions, it has Anthology More, Rooftop Concert, and a bbuunnch of other crap

i cant wait.

[robo2448]

Sorry Lepermessiah, my friend has the exact same Beatles shirt as you. I have the same Lennon shirt as Blue3 and Welcome

Hey Bulldog for sure is my favorite or Helter Skelter. But Hey Bulldog is the funnest for me at least. I never knew you played bass, the bass is the sweetest instrument!

[magicbus]

Come Together, Drive My Car, and Dear Prudence always stand out bass-wise when I listen to them. I'd try though ones.

And for not Beatles: Cream - Badge, Band Of Gypsies - Who Knows, The Band - The Weight. Some stuff like that.

[MBS]

The Band - The Weight

I was skeptical about this song because on the Last Waltz, Danko plays a fretless and it sounds sexy as hell, and I don't want to screw that up, heh heh.

I never knew you played bass, the bass is the sweetest instrument!

I play guitar, but I'm starting to branch more into bass.

[blue3]

I like playing bass, I don't own one yet though. A lot of Beatles songs are cool to play, All My Loving, Come Together, Day Tripper..

[BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please-]

Village Green > Sgt. Peppers

Village Green may not be as important as Pepper but MAN this is one hell of a Pop album! If you guys haven't heard Village Green by the Kinks yet I suggest you really look into it. Almost every song on this 15 track album is incredible! I've always thaught it to be a great album but as of late I re-discovered it and can't stop playing it.

[Leper]

Sorry Lepermessiah, my friend has the exact same Beatles shirt as you. I have the same Lennon shirt as Blue3 and Welcome

His friend would probably go 'wtf is lepper'. And I've never heard Village Green. I'll listen to that, sometime.

I have the same Lennon shirt as Blue3 and Welcome:cool:

[Grimm]

Does anyone know a song that has really good bass riff?I'm tryin to expand my mind a bit and go from stuff like metallica and megadeth to the beatles and david bowie, older stuff.if anyone knows a good bassline, it'd really help.

[blue3]

People were talking about bass a few posts up.

[Leper]

Bass is apparently the hot topic these days.

[blue3]

Yeah, well, guitars are better.

[Grimm]

I think thats a whole different discussion.

[Seafroggys]

Bass riffs?

Rain, Taxman, Day Tripper, Mean Mr. Mustard, the list could go on

and everyone knows the moog is the best instrument

[Leper]

Andy Moog?

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

MBS- All My Loving is the most fun to play IMO, and A Day in the Life is awesome too,

Deus- Thanks

Magicbus- The one you have now, sans xmas hat

I started on bass, but it's prolly easier once you start on guitar, because you know exactly which notes are in the chord that the guitarist is using when you're playing bass

[El_Goodo]

The bass in Twist and Shout is pretty cool!

Does anyone have the link to that And your bird can sing, when john and paul are just laughing wildly? It was posted in here a while ago! I can't find it though!

[blue3]

I haven't seen that one before.. Good luck looking through all the pages.

[Seafroggys]

yeah i got that, my uncle gave me 6 CDs full of rare Beatle recordings about 5 years ago, and I know that And Your Bird Can Sing outtake is on there

there's also a bit in A Day in the Life, where after Paul finishes his verse he goes "Oh ****" its kinda funny

[BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please-]

I'm tryin to expand my mind a bit When spring comes go to nearest cow field or you could ask someone for d-lysergic acid diethylamide it's not sold at your local pharmacy but you could always ask.....

[MBS]

When spring comes go to nearest cow field or you could ask someone for d-lypsergic acid diethylamide it's not sold at your local pharmacy but you could always ask.....

Yes Schyma, I think Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is a good song, too.

[BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please-]

I couldn't help it btw. :p

I don't why the reporters even asked if "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was about acid. All you have to do is listen to the song! I mean it's psychedelic as hell and it's describing a trip. If you truly believe that it's really about a picture that John's son drew then your a fool.

[Lunch]

Because reporters aren't smart/hippies.

"Oh by the way, which one's Pink?"

[Seafroggys]

I don't see why Lennon would lie about such things, I firmly believe that the song's idea originated from Julian's drawings. Whether a verse or two was dirived from a trip, well, I'm not passing judgement on that. Lennon was always pissed how people (the media, others in this thread, *cough* *cough*) distort the meanings of his songs.

[Leper]

Hence the spawning of I am the Walrus.

EDIT: I also firmly believe that it was based on Julian's drawings.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

The song you are talking about was released on Anthology disk 2. I never saw it posted here, but if it was good luck looking for it. It's actually pretty funny. Paul wont stop laughing and John tries to hold them together.

[magicbus]

Walrus uploaded it a long time ago. But since that link has since expired, and YSI links aren't allowed anyways, I wouldn't recommend looking for it.

[robo2448]

I Want You (She's So Heavy) and Something have really cool bass too.

That version of And Your Bird Can Sing is hilarious. Great song too.

I also strongly believe that the origin of Lucy in the Sky with Diamond's was from Julian's drawing. I don't think John realized that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds spelled LSD when he wrote the song. I think the drawing might have reminded John of a trip and so John might have incorporated details from trips in the lyrics but I am sure that it is based off of Julian's drawing. As Seafroggy's said, there wouldn't be any reason for John to lie about the meaning of the song, so I believe him.

[El_Goodo]

The song is about Julian's Drawing...and he also said he used some images from Alice in Wonderland didnt he?

[Seafroggys]

yeah, John used some influences from Alice in Wonderland, especially in I am the Walrus....

[Leper]

Alice in Wonderland?..What are some of the references? I can't really think of any at the moment...

/listens for references

[Seafroggys]

well there's a bit in alice and wonderland about "the walrus and the carpenter" thats enough of a connection right there

[Leper]

Oh yeah I guess there is...it's been so long since I've seen that movie.

[clown_phobia]

Yes - john did get "the walrus" from alice in wonderland, however he had made a mistake because the walrus was the bad guy and that's not what he meant to say.

[Leper]

I thought that fat queen was the villain..

[W.M.A]

it was the way in which john described how julian said "looks its lucy in the sky with diamonds" that most people found implausible. im pretty sure its about lsd.

isnt alice in wonderland bout been on some halluconigen newho.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

Hey I was reading the Beatles anthology book the other day, and it mentioned all this stuff talking about the theory that Paul had died and thats why they stopped touring and such. I looked for clues and it seems to be alot of them. No shoes on Abbey, Why he was standng backwards on the inside of Sgt. Peppers, Lines from A day in the Life and "I buired Paul" from Strawberry fields. It's pretty cool.

[robo2448]

It's sad that December 8th is known as Dimebag Darrell's deathday instead of John Lennon's now. No offense to Dimebag, but Lennon was much, much more important to music and the world in general, and his death was more tragic IMO. Shame... I should create a John Lennon thread.

This has been brought up a lot. I don't think Paul is dead, I think the Beatles kept egging on the theory for more sales for their records. There's proof that when that theory became public, record sales increased by a lot.

And go for it, make a Lennon thread.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

Don't create a Lennon thread. Then I would have to create a McCartney thread, and us Beatles fans would become divided. Lets just leave all the Beatles together in this thread and enjoy them here.

Well McCartney didn't die 25 years ago Thursday. So he doesn't deserve a tribute thread. I think I'll make a thread but I won't make it until Thursday (his actual death day).

[blue3]

You made one for George Harrison too, right?

Nice avatar. I've been listening to Rubber Soul alot lately. :thumb:

[Carne Evil]

All of the Beatles had interesting solo careers (Ringo not as much as the others, but you get my meaning). George really only came into his own when the Beatles broke up. So, I really don't see the problem with starting an "individual Beatle" thread since the post-beatle beatles were still interesting musicians.

[robo2448]

You made one for George Harrison too, right?

Yeah that flopped pretty badly. I've learned that people don't want to read paragraphs and paragraphs about somebody so I'll make my Lennon thread more concise.

[dr._feelgood]

I liked your George thread. I thought it was well worth the time it took to read.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

I supose not. A thread to commemerate the life of John might not be a bad idea. It is a lfe worth commemerating.

Oh ya. Just got my new avatar. So happy. :p

Somebody stole my Lennon thread idea:evil:. Led-Zeppelin made a really good thread though, and I'm just happy someone made it. I'm looking forward to a John tribute on Thursday. Too bad I have school on Friday, or I would be able to take the train into Strawberry Fields which is a small place in central park dedicated to John Lennon.

[MBS]

I remember that. That was a pretty sweet avatar. How do you make those?

Um, it was a long complicated process. Basically, I took a picture of the 4 beatles together, cropped them into their own seperate pictures, resized them into 70 x 70 and then used Photoshop to make a flipbook out of them.

This thread has already been established as a "Beatles and post-Beatles" thread. So, a tribute thread would be spiffy. But establishing a "Let's talk about Harrison's solo career!" thread wouldn't fly so much.

There's a new Beatles biography out, and a John Lennon biography out. I want to pick them up.

[MBS]

I told my friend about that biography, since he needed to read one for english. He picked up a biography of Apple instead and thought it was the Beatles because it had the Beatles on the cover. :lol:

[Broken Arrow]

I saw a John Lennon biography by Cynthia Lennon at Costco. I'm not sure if its new or not.

I'm getting a Lennon biogragphy for Christmas though.

[blue3]

I think Cynthia Lennon wrote more than one book about John. I've read 'A Twist of Lennon' by her. It was alright.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

Tommorowis the big day, eh? My local classic rock station is playing 24 hours of Lennon, so it should be pretty sweet.

Heh, I went out and bought a shirt from JC Penny's just for tomorrow. It's horribly ugly but I don't care, it has John in New York picture on it with Imagine lyric's on the back.

I'm planning to wear my Lennon band shirt all day tomorrow, even at this Christmas concert where everyone has to wear something 'nice'/formal.

[Krabsworth]

Definately wearing my Beatles shirt tomorrow.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

I'm going to wear my brown Let It Be shirt tommorow. It's my fav. Beatle shirt.

I'm doing a paper/presentation on the Charles Manson and the Family murder trials, and that is some interesting stuff. I got to talk about the Beatles, which was my main reason for picking that topic.

So I was talking to a freshman in my choir class who alway's wears Beatles, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin shirt's and I asked him to name 3 Beatle's songs and he couldn't, but I'm not the mean type so I am bringing him all of their CD's! I hope he is prepared to be ear fucked.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

Today is the day and I would like to say a little on John Lennon to commemerate his soul.

Born on October 9th, 1940, John grew up in an englsih town called Liverpool. Having had both parents abandon him, he lived with his Aunt Mimi. It was a tough life for John, but he lived through it. He stared his path to the greatest musical influence of all time when he picked up a banjo.

He instanly became obsessed with the banho, and eventually became a Guiatrist. He started a band called "The Quarry Men," and would play around town. At one of these gigs, his friend Ivan introduced him to another friend of his, a kid by the name of Paul McCartney. They instanly hit it off and soon Paul joined the band. He rode with this kid on the bus who played guitar, and asked him to join them. His Name was George Harrison.

Now all they needed was a drummer. They were tough to come by in Liverpool, but one guy fit the bill. His name was pete best, and he had the one thing that mattered. His own Drum set. So tehy formed, and they started to play gigs around town.

One of these gigs was at a place called "The Cavern, and a music store owner had come by to watch them, Brian Epstien. He was seduced by what he heard, and started to look around for a producer to produce them.

After several refusals, he came across a producer name George Martin, and He agreed to produce them. Brian was estacic, and told the boys right away. There was a condition, he told them. They needed a new drummer, Pete wasn't cutting it. A man name Richard Starkey fit the bill, but he was already in a band called "Rory and the Hurricanes." They saked him if he would join, adn he agreed. And so the path to stardom began. They had widespread popularity all over the Continent, and soon to be all over the world.

The beatles had many succesfull albums (sorry I skipped over the albums but this is a tribute to John, and I want to do a bit on his life after The Beatles and I don't want to take up 2 pages). In 67/68, he met a woman called Yoko One. He was instanly fell in love. It was akward, and they spent alot of time away in his house. Eventually he brought her to the recording sesions. The rest of the band got fed up (once again sorry about skipping stuff) and the band went there seperate ways.

John did some solo albums, and things were going well for him. He had a couple #1's, and enjoyed making music. He then decieded to take some time off making music, and live with Yoko. After a couple years, he decided to come out and make another album.

It was December 8th, 7:50. He walked out of his apartment, and out of the Shadows jumped a man. He shot John in the back. The Shots would sound around the world. He died that day at 8:15, Dead on Arivvial.

Trully a hero of our time, taken from us to soon. John Lennon Rest in piece.

Sorry, I know its a bit long and I cut some stuff out, but It's John, and I could have made it a lot longer.

John We Honour You.

[MBS]

You forgot to mention the guy got his autograph before he shot him. The last Lennon autograph ever. :(

[robo2448]

Actually John was shot at 10:50, died at 11:15. Well that's eastern time, I'm not sure if you live in a different time zone.

I wish my parents were cool and would let me go into NYC and go to Strawberry Fields this afternoon. I've just been watching the news and listening to John all day. I wish I was one of the thousands of people at Strawberry Fields. People traveled from fucking Scotland and my parents wouldn't let me take a 45 minute train ride to NYC to be there. I'll try to go tomorrow or after the weekend to make up for it though. It's just such an unbelievable tragedy that he died. I wore my Lennon shirt today.

np- Crippled Inside

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

As I said, I probaly left out some stuff out, like the autograph, and I live in Pacific time, so it was 7:50 here. I still thought I did a half decne job on that bio. I didn't want to make it to long or no one would read it.

[m30wc0w]

Personally I like Abbey Road the most. But all I could buy was a Sgt Peppers shirt. Not dissing Sgt Peppers. That was an awesome album too :)

Wore my Abbey Road shirt today. Sad day. :(

Watching the Wheels is an awesome song.

# 9 dream is my fav John Solo song.

[blue3]

I like that song too.

This kid thought I was wearing a Harry Potter shirt today when the shirt said LENNON in big letters. What the hell.. Lennon doesn't look like Harry Potter, at all.

[Seafroggys]

i haven't gone on my lennon song binch yet, probably start as soon as I get offline. Definitally play stuff like Day in the Life, Across the Universe, In My Life, How (best underrated Lennon song), GImme Some Truth, and of course end with the songs to end all songs, Imagine.

That song alone made me want to becoming a rock star, and for that, I give my eternal gratitude to you John, wherever you are :)

[Leper]

As I said, I probaly left out some stuff out, like the autograph, and I live in Pacific time, so it was 7:50 here. I still thought I did a half decne job on that bio. I didn't want to make it to long or no one would read it.

Since you mentioned Pete Best you probably should have mentioned Stewart Sutcliffe(sp?) as well, but I thought you did a good job regardless.

[Seafroggys]

Stu was John's best friend, after all

[Leper]

Reading the Anthology book really made me feel sorry Stu for the way they treated him, especially considering the fact that he was John's best friend.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

Since you mentioned Pete Best you probably should have mentioned Stewart Sutcliffe(sp?) as well, but I thought you did a good job regardless.

I thought of mentioning their first bassist Stu, but decided againts it. I'm not really sure why I didn't mention, as he was a key part of the Beatles early career. I just mntioned Pete so I could sort of explain why they got Ringo.

[DeusExMachina]

Anyone else agree that Watching The Wheels is just about the greatest song ever?
Word. That song is incredible.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

Is their no other #9 dream fans out there. Watching the Wheels is a good song, but I like #9 dream better. Anyone agree?

[blue3]

Oh, ok. :upset:

Yes Watching The Wheels is definetley better than #9 Dream!

Does anyone else like the song Well, Well, Well I think it's a kickass rock song!
