That's true, I have a book about them (like I said, I'm a big fan), and they actually worked in the same room at the same time then, later on, they were just drifting slowly. DA#N YOU, YOKO
you are an idiot, and don't know much about the Beatles, or music in general.
"peace and hippy-ness?" what the hell does that mean?
And it was not Yoko's fault, how often do I have to tell people this.....and if yuo're such a Beatles fan, and having read the books, you'd know it wasn't Yoko's fault.

Oh yeah, and a kick-arse Let It Be sweatshirt from Target. I've gotten so many comments about it too... I guess mostly because it really sticks out, plus it's wierd that a 14-year-old kid is wearing a Beatles shirt instead of a pink Polo. omg stoner!!1 :rolleyes:

The Concert For Bangladesh is pretty good, although the song Bangladesh is not so good lol. I got it because it had Bob Dylan, George Harrison, and Ringo all in one. Does it annoy anyone else that they have two drummers? I find it extremley unnecesarry the only time it looks cool is when they do fills in perfect unison.
I like how in the documentary George Harrison said he just saw a figure and he knew it was Bob so he just said...let me introduce Bob Dylan. Bob was looking really good, and his singing was sounding extremley good. It seemed like the others didn't know what he was going to play, cause he seemed to be playing alone with George and the other guy trying to guess right.

Well Bob was in his state of isolation, and George didn't even know if he was going to show up, yet alone play. And when George asked him if he would play older hits like The Times They are a-Changin', Dylan retorted "Are you going to play I Want to Hold Your Hand?"' One of my favorite Dylan quotes. But Dylan put on a great performance.
I prefer Bangladesh to Concert for George but both are great.

Okay guys, my brother is one of those idiots who thinks the Beatles are nothing more than a pop band. CD burning time. Anyone want to come up with some suggestions? Some songs I am considering putting on:
Come Together
Hey Jude
You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
Let it Be
She Said She Said
In My Life
A Day in the Life
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Helter Skelter
Something
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
Tomorrow Never Knows
Dear Prudence
Happiness is a Warm Gun
But I'll probably axe some of those and put some others in.

01-29-2006, 04:45 PM

I don't like Elenor Rigby. Don't know why, but it is one of the few Beatle songs that never appealed to me.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and Here Comes the Sun were originally on the list but I'm not sure if I have room for them. Same thing Taxman and Nowhere Man.
And adding some more obscure songs sounds like a good idea.
I just completely forgot about Strawberry Fields. That's definitely one of my top 5 Beatles songs. That definitely needs to go on the mix. Don't know how I forgot that.

Man my radio station was doing an A-B side Beatles weekend, and it was pretty sweet. It was cool to see what songs were A sides and which were B. Heres a question for you all. Without searching it anywhere, what is the B side to Lady Madonna? I would never have guessed what it actually was.

Hey Mark, look I'm posting, isn't that amazing. Anyways, I've never heard that song before.
It's a Harrison composition that combines sitar with some simple acoustic guitar. I like it. Jeff Lynne played it on the Concert For George.

I know my vinyl pretty well, but just LP's. I don't know anything about singles. That's me trying to get around saying I had no clue it was The Inner Light.
How many different songs did the Beatles have that included the sitar? I don't actually know the answer, this isn't like a quiz or anything. But I'll give you a prize if you find/know the answer.

I remember doing this for the Pink Floyd thread, of course we didn't pick my awesome suggestion (One Of These Threads Is Going To Cut You Into Little Pieces), but let's see if I've still got it.
A great one for Pink Floyd would be Careful With That Thread Eugene.
But yeah I think we should just keep it as The Beatles.

I really think The Fool on the Hill was one of McCartney's greatest works. The recorder solo/fill fits so perfectly too.

I do like how Paul changes his mind between interviews on who that song is about.

He first said its was about the Maharishi, then he said It could be about anyone in general.

More grammy news! Not only is Paul up for four grammies (he has 13 grammies already), but for the first time Paul's gonna be playing at the grammys! I really hope he doesn't play fine line but Im thinking he is, because it's his lastest song. The only other hope is Jenny Wren. I would really prefer Jenny Wren!
Oh yeah, and the grammys are wednesday.

You didn't hear? Dave Chapelle isn't making a new season. I heard they've got enough material to make about 3 new episodes and they're planning on airing them eventually, but after that it's done.
No, they did originally because he left in the middle of recording to go to South Africa for a spiritual awakening or whatever because he got sick of all the fame and pressure, but now he's back and they finished the season :)
We listened to Sgt. Pepper's in its entirety in Art I today :eek:

Tera Hodges - All Headline News Staff Writer
Chicago, IL (AHN) - Stress is what caused Dave Chappelle to disappear for two weeks right after signing a $50-million deal.
In the interview, which airs Friday on Oprah, Chappelle confronts rumors he was crazy or on drugs when he fled to South Africa for two weeks in the middle of production, leaving the public to wonder, where in the world is Dave Chappelle.
Though Chappelle eventually returned to the states, Chappelle is not currently working on "The Dave Chapelle" show. However, he is currently doing standup comedy.
He's not making a new season...sorry to tell you.

He is. They already have the preview out for it on Comedy Central.
Here's a quote of his from the same site:
"I want to restructure the deal…and half the DVD revenue goes back to the people that we see fit, I think I'd be more than willing to finish with where we started...I'm not mad at anybody."

And I forgot we were in the Beatles thread....
So I was listening to Abbey Road today, and I still really like the solos on "The End". It's cool how they all got to do one.

Hmm I've never really noticed that before. I'm listening to it right now and I see what you mean. But every other time I listen to Abbey Road, I go into a sort of trance listening from Mean Mr. Mustard to Her Majesty because the songs kind of blend in with one another, so the finer points of each song are usually lost on me.

Am I the only one who thinks Her Majesty shouldn't have been on that album, it made perfect sense to make the song called...THE END...the end, and have it say "And in the end the love you take, is equal to the love you make" they could have still had Her Majesty but, make it more of a secret song, like let the transition last longer so it feels like an actual hidden song.

Well it would also make sense to have Abbey Road be the final album as it was intended, so that The End would in fact be the end within the context. Things don't always go as planned.

I like Her Majesty. I think The End was kind of a grand ending song, and by following it with a short, cheeky filler song, The Beatles showed that they were still just trying to have fun, even if it was over.

Her Majesty was supposed to go between "Polythene Pam" and "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" hence the unexplained chord at the beginning. Why it is at the end, I do not know.

That's not logical though. They wanted "The End" to be the last song on the record.

Paul rocked. I loved seeing him do Helter Skelter. He can still rock. I wish I could see him live.
His drummer seriously scares me though. He's intense.

Let It Be was in production before Abbey Road, but they got stalled with all the conflict and stuff, so they decided to "make an album like they used to", and started Abbey Road.
I didn't watch the grammies. I'll catch it on Google Vid :)

123 during the "YAAAAA" parts in Helter he was going insane. Fun(ny) to watch though. He looks like he could just rip apart the drums.
I liked that first song he sang from his new album I guess I'll have to check it out.

His grammy performance was awesome, I wasn't to happy with fine line. I didn't want him to play it, it's my least favourite song off the new album. But that's because the rest of the album sound's like Abbey Road material.
But then when they played Helter Skelter it was awesome, his vocals were awesome, and he showed at 63 (or is it 64 now?) that he can still rock harder than a lot of people. And he proved he truly has a great voice, that is still in great condition.

I think Paul gave enough hints that when he is 64 he will not be around.
Seems he does not like the questions about the "64" thing..and will probably take a holiday.

He did a TV interview last year during the tour. I`m vague on it really. The question about him turning 64 in 2006 got him saying that he might not be around...or taking some time off.

youtube has both the Helter Skelter peformance, and the Yesterday performance. But no one's seemed to bother with fine line.
