The Beatles

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

When Paul played Helter Skelter I was amazed. Thats always been one of my favourite songs by them, and I was not expecting him to play it. He still does it good.

[El_Goodo]

Paul McCartney is a sore loser !
London: Beatles legend Paul McCartney was reportedly so furious at failing to win the Grammy for Best Album, that he stormed out of the ceremony.

McCartney had high hopes for Chaos And Creation In The Back Yard, but lost out to U2’s How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.

An insider told how he snubbed the Irish band by refusing to congratulate them.

“The ex-Beatle got up and left with his very arrogant bodyguard. They weren’t exactly subtle about it, either,” Fox newsman Roger Friedman, was quoted by The Sun,as saying.

“He walked right past Sting without saying hello,” he added.


That doesn't sound like Paul at all.

But he shouldn't have lost to U2 anyway...they are pretty bad.

[MBS]

That doesn't sound like Paul at all.

But he shouldn't have lost to U2 anyway...they are pretty bad.

I would be pissed too if my album lost to U2's album which just barely made this year's cut off.

youtube has both the Helter Skelter peformance, and the Yesterday performance. But no one's seemed to bother with fine line.I just watched the Helter Skelter performance, and I must say, that kicked ***!

[Woodstock]

I would be pissed too if my album lost to U2's album which just barely made this year's cut off.
That's sounds wrong. I saw the moment when U2 won, and McCartney got up and shook everyone's hand politely.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

I just watched the Helter Skelter performance, and I must say, that kicked ***!

Yes it did.

[Scoot]

Paul performed quite well at the Grammy's, but that rap was terrible.

[BigTrav415]

What rap? He actually rapped? I'm confused.

[Jacaranda]

Jay-Z rapped, it was fine actually.

[blue3]

All he kept saying was 'uh-huh, that's right, yes yes yes'. It was annoying.

[bcf717]

Hmmm... Sir Paul probably felt like he back recording at Abbey Road when Yoko was hanging around all the time.......

[bcf717]

Ohh, sorry -- I take that back. When Yoko's around it sounds more like an air-raid siren or a cat fight.....

[El_Goodo]

All he kept saying was 'uh-huh, that's right, yes yes yes'. It was annoying.

The worst part was when he said "be-lieve" the way he said annoyed me. But I liked when he was rapping over the piano player playing yesterday, before yesterday actually started.

[rockinbass17]

Abbey road medley?live performance?

[guitrguy]

Abbey road medley?live performance?
The last few songs that flow together on Abbey Road.

[MBS]

Abbey road medley?live performance?

I'm very sure they never played anything off of Abbey Road live.

[guitrguy]

I'm very sure they never played anything off of Abbey Road live.
I'm very sure they stop touring well before Abbey Road.

[The_hopes]

hmmm... too much time since I've heard it for the last time... don't even have it.. :(

[MBS]

I'm very sure they stop touring well before Abbey Road.

I'm very sure you're right.

[TheDMV]

I'm very sure you're right.
I'm very sure I'm glad I know.

[The_hopes]

I'm very sure they stop touring well before Abbey Road.
yes but john played abbey road's songs after the beatles

[MBS]

I'm very sure I'm glad I know.

I'm very sure this is getting rediculous.

[MBS]

yes but john played abbey road's songs after the beatles

If John played it, it's not technically played by The Beatles, is it? ;)

[The_hopes]

yes but writen by the beatles

[TheDMV]

yes but writen by the beatles

Oh, that changes everything. :rolleyes:

[The_hopes]

yeah I know :D

[guitrguy]

I'm very sure I said The Beatles stopped touring, not the individuals in there post Beatle work.

[MBS]

Well, I can't think of my Beatles list right now, but one thing is for sure:

Stairway to Heaven is definetly on it.

I'm very sure I said The Beatles stopped touring, not the individuals in there post Beatle work.

I'm very sure we should stop using 'I'm very sure' as a prefix to all of our sentences.

[guitrguy]

Well, I can't think of my Beatles list right now, but one thing is for sure:

I knew I forgot a song!!!! I also forgot pinball Wizard.

I'm very sure we should stop using 'I'm very sure' as a prefix to all of our sentences.
I'm very sure I'll stop eventually.

[TheDMV]

How about Teenage Wasteland? Or is that by the Led Zappelins?

[MBS]

How about Teenage Wasteland? Or is that by the Led Zappelins?

No, that's by AC/DC.

[TheDMV]

No, that's by AC/DC.

Who's AC?DC?

[Cardboard Headgear]

Who's AC?DC?
Eric Clapton's old band.

[MBS]

Who's AC?DC?

I have no idea. I think they're from Germany.

Eric Clapton's old band.

It all makes sense now.

[TheDMV]

Eric Clapton's old band.

Wasn't John Bonamm their singer?

[Cardboard Headgear]

I believe you're thinking of Jimi Hendrix.

PS: wtf

[Seafroggys]

I don't have an absolute favorite, so this list of 10 is probably my favorite!

1. Happiness is a Warm Gun
2. Here Comes the Sun
3. Nowhere Man
4. In My Life
5. It's Only Love
6. Sexy Sadie
7. Helter Skelter
8. I Want You
9. Strawberry Fields Forever
10. She Said She Said

Tried to cover a broad margin with this list.

[MBS]

I believe you're thinking of Jimi Hendrix.

PS: wtf

No Jimi Hendrix was that asian guy.

You're thinking of Keith Moon. Man, that guy had a voice.

[guitrguy]

Neither do I, they just have way too many good songs.

[TheDMV]

I beleive Jimi Hendrix was an old, old, wooden ship, used back in the Civil War.

[Krabsworth]

I'm very sure they stop touring well before Abbey Road.

The Beatles last concert was August 29th, 1966 at Candlestick Park, in San Francisco. Abbey Road was released in 1969. I'm guessing they hardly even played any Revolver stuff (Revolver was released a few weeks before the final concert). I have heard Rubber Soul songs from them live, Nowhere Man sounded pretty cool live.

They probably did, as most bands do when they are on tour right before the release of a new album.

No I just looked it up on Wikipedia, we were both wrong. Jimi Hendrix was the name of Captain Jean Luc Picard's favorite comic book.

This thread has become very spammy in my absence. Hilarious, but spammy.

A friend of mine just told me his opinion of the Beatles today. I believe his exact words were "poppy, girly, crap music." Methinks it's time for a compilation...:)

I would've but he had a jock on (twas in between periods of a hockey game) thus rendering my nads kicking useless.

Judging by his intellectual prowess in expressing well thought-out opinions, you could try punching him in the nose. That way you might break his finger......

That was actually pretty good :lol:

To bring this thread somewhat full circle, I learned some stuff about Ringo today. He spent a whole lot of time in the hospital when he was young for various reasons. One time his mother brought him a red toy bus and a toy drum. The boy in the bed next to him didn't have anything, so friendly Ringo leanedover to give him his toy bus, but he fell out of bed, smashing his head into a table and going into a coma. He missed so much schoolwork he could barely read or write, and he got put in a much younger class.

Poor Ringo :(

[Krabsworth]

My nose looks like Ringo's.

[MidnightRider]

My nose looks like Ringo's.

I feel bad for you. ;)

And yeah LepperMessiah, this thread has gotten kind of spammy, mainly thanks to my contributions.

I introduced a friend of mine to The Beatles through Revolver today while we were driving around. I was suprised at how much he liked it considering he listens to mostly mainstream rock and rap.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

I need something to laugh at.

It's a damn good album, why wouldn't he like it? ;)

[Krabsworth]

Well, it isn't wide like his, but it looks like his did from the side.

[MidnightRider]

why wouldn't he like it?

Well, my past attempts at introducing my friends to classic rock haven't gone too well.

[guitrguy]

have em listen to Helter Skelter, or Strawberry Fields. Strawberry fields is was did it for me.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

Strawberry fields is was did it for me.

Same here :chug:

[nobodyblossomsforever]

That song is so trippy it isn't even funny. Not sure if its the right song to introduce someone to the Beatles with.

[Lunch]

Strawberry Fields? I don't think it's very trippy.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Trippy was the wrong term I guess. There's just some strange element about it. I haven't heard it in forever though so I may be mixing it up with something else. But it is quite strange.

[Lunch]

It's psychedelic, but I've heard plenty of trippy psychedelia that blow it away. I know what you mean though, it is a very good song.

[BigTrav415]

Well, my past attempts at introducing my friends to classic rock haven't gone too well.
1 2 mother****ing 3

It's more that they just kind of listen but don't care.

[Lunch]

I don't normally try to introduce my friends to my music. If I'm driving then I'll play what I want, and same goes for them. Every now and then I recommend a song or album that I think a certain person might like based on what they already listen to.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Just to bring up something interesting, I'm sure most've you have heard of the Paul is Dead scandal.

[Jacaranda]

I'm shove my music down my friends throats. They all hate Jane's Addiction, Rolling Stones, Mike Patton in general, Joy Division, Fugazi and various other bands. But once in a great while I'll get someone turned onto a band, mostly freshmen and the Beatles - Sgt Pep's. In fact one of the kids I turned onto music basically (I'm not even kidding when I first started talking to this kid he said he only listened to music when he was going places in the car) any way he asked me if I would teach him guitar; I don't play guitar though...
Blue Jay Way is a sweet song.

[Lunch]

You shove your music down our throats too. I hate the Rolling Stones now.

[robo2448]

I'm with Lunch, I don't usually start music conversations with my friends. Because when I do, I always end up showing off my knowledge and collection and end up acting like a jerk. So I have a few friends that have similar tastes to me who I talk music with all the time, but other people who I know not to bother discussing music with.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

What'd you introduce him to?

NP: Lamb of God - Laid to Rest

[Jacaranda]

I hardly ever bring them up when I do end up talking about them, and I've backed off of talking about them because I don't want to seem like too much of a retard.

There are like 4 people on MX who like them, that I'm aware of. It'd die.

Yea you.
Um, the Beatles, CoB, the Dead, the Byrds, Tomahawk, the Stones, Of Montreal, Iron Maiden are the big ones. But he is a huge Beatles fan now after I loaned him all my albums from those artists he sorta branched out on his own, he loves Bob Dylan and Nick Drake now days.

There was a period where you constantly brought them up in this thread whenever you could. Not that I really care, but I think you could keep a thread on them alive anyway so you don't have to overlap their discussion into threads like this one.

There's a fog upon L.A.
And my friends have lost their way
"We'll be over soon," they said
Now they've lost themselves instead

Please don't be long, please don't you be very long
Please don't be long for I may be asleep

Well it only goes to show
And I told them where to go
Ask a policeman on the street
There's so many there to meet

Please don't be long, please don't you be very long
Please don't be long for I may be asleep

Now it's past my bed I know
And I'd really like to go
Soon will be the breath of day
Sitting here in Blue Jay Way

Please don't be long, please don't you be very long
Please don't be long for I may be asleep
Please don't be long ,please don't you be very long
Please don't be long
Please don't be long, please don't you be very long

Ah yes! Blue Jay Way. I'm no good with reading lyrics and figuring out songs.

Erg, I just went to look for All Things Must Pass and mine is missing! Gah this sucks I don't have any of his albums on my iPod I thought I'd throw that one on but no can do.

[Lunch]

Sometimes people can't think of anything to talk about, so they talk about what they have strong knowledge in.

That's fine. But this is the Beatles thread. It's used for discussing the Beatles. If a person can think of anything to talk about, they shouldn't post something they know about just to make conversation.

That wasn't directed at you, Jaracanda. That was all just a hypathetical.

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

If I'm driving then I'll play what I want

Same here. My friends don't like the Beatles (:eek:), so whenever their in my car I play the Beatles as loud as I can to try and get some good music into them. So far my attempts have not yeilded anything.

[Lunch]

I never play my music out of spite, so we aren't really the same. I just jam.

[Leper]

Yeah that's like me too. Luckily the friend of mine that I mainly talk music with has a pretty open mind, and will listen to almost anything I recommend to him just so he can say he at least gave it a chance. I do the same in return with his music. Our tastes are relatively similar though.

[Jim]

Me toosies. I know this guy who was like - "The Beatles?? They suck." He still doesn't like them on account that they're "pussies". They were actually hardarses in their day!

Well not really once they became big. Brian Epstein forced them to be clean shaven and where suits so their image wouldn't create controversy. But before that they were pretty bad-***.

It would be cool to see the beatles in todays time

[rockinbass17]

In my car and home, I have a rule that we listen to only the music I want. So, whenever my friemds are at my place, I play them Beatles, The Who, The Dead, Floyd, Rush, and so on.

The Beatles were very contraversial. Calling them "pussies" is being close minded. Think, they introduced drugs, sex, and questioning to their generattion.

[MBS]

Think, they introduced drugs, sex, and questioning to their generattion.

I disagree, if there is anyone who has attributed to contributing more questionable topics, it's Elvis.

[rockinbass17]

I don't know, he had an impact, no doubt, but not nearly as wide-scale as The Beatles.

Maybe if I rephrase that- maybe they did not introduce those topics, but they certainly made them a large phenomenon.

[Cardboard Headgear]

Elvis hit the scene in 54, close to a decade before the Beatles started exploding globally, so you could argue it was different generations if you wanted.

[thickasabrick]

Your joking...Bob Dylan definitely introduced drugs and questioning to their generation, maybe not sex though. Hell, he introduced drugs and questioning to the Beatles. I'd say the Rolling Stones were probably even more advocates than the Beatles in terms of sex and drugs. But anyways...I'm just arguing for the sake of arguing. The Beatles aren't pussies at all. They weren't big macho he-men...but they were pretty badass.

Haha, does anyone remember He-Man?

edit - No teenagers in the mid to late sixties listened to ****ing Elvis. Elvis was an officer in the Vietnam War, he was also the FBI's drug narc...I'm sure a few million people still listened to him though. He's still Elvis for gods sakes. Elvis became popular again in the early seventies for a while when he was working at Vegas and stuff...before he became a big mess and died.

[Leper]

Hence arguing that they would be two different generations.

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

No question the Beatles were an exteremly potent catalyst for change in the time. People (like Bob Dylan) influenced the nation by influencing the Beatles. Not to say, of course, that his influence wasn't substantial on it's own


I must have missed this He-Man episode

[El_Goodo]

The Beatles are a lot more bad *** than the stones. If you know anything about the Beatles day's in the cavern. They played for like 12 hours straight there, and would eat and sleep on stage. Not to mention kick bum's in the stage if they climbed on stage. John even threw a knife to scare one of the guy's that was climbing on the stage. The Beatles worked their *** off in the cavern and deserved everything they got.

He-Man was a really old cartoon/movie type thing with this super strong guy named He-Man and a girl named She-Woman. I think. Haha. Didn't you ever see that Ghost Busters movie where they say "Who ya gonna call?" and all the little kids are supposed to say "Ghost Busters!" but instead they start chanting "He Man!" Oh the memories...

I think the 60's wouldn't have been the same without Dylan because he influenced all those early rock bands like the Beatles to become more interested in the art and beauty of music instead of just cliche pop songs. And the 60's definitely wouldn't have been the same without the Beatles because they sort of introduced that same concept to the entire world.

[Jacaranda]

See, Lunch are you saying I should just stand by and let people say crap like this. I think not, I'll let this one slide..... but after that.
We've been through this before, and I think it was decided by me the Stones are more bad arse.:P
(Stones played just as hardcore in their early 60's and early 70's day.)

Unlike the Beatles, Bob Dylan's postion in the music world wasn't garunteed. Someone was bound to come across and make it big in America, and the Beatles happened to be them, but now Bob Dylan no one was going to be Bob Dylan if Bob Dylan didn't... ugh, that made sense I hope.

[Lunch]

See, Lunch are you saying I should just stand by and let people say crap like this. I think not, I'll let this one slide..... but after that.

No man, I was just saying I don't think you should intentionally shift conversation to the Stones as much, but maybe you didn't use to do it either. In a compare contrast with the Beatles, I have absolutely no problem with you discussing the Stones here.

We all know who real badasses here are anyway.

Well I can agree that without the who Paul probably wouldn't have written Helter Skelter.

[rockinbass17]

Ok, the badasses of the 60's, we'll just end the discussion with saying that The Beatles, The Who, the Stones, and Dylan were all equally badass in influencing people to question and all that.

[Leper]

The Beatles are a lot more bad *** than the stones. If you know anything about the Beatles day's in the cavern. They played for like 12 hours straight there, and would eat and sleep on stage. Not to mention kick bum's in the stage if they climbed on stage. John even threw a knife to scare one of the guy's that was climbing on the stage. The Beatles worked their *** off in the cavern and deserved everything they got.

I mentioned before that in the Beatles' very early days they were very bad-***. But when each band became familiar to the public eye, the Beatles were known as the "clean-shaven innocent boys" while the Rolling Stones were known for their "bad boy" image.

We'll the Beatle's wen't from bad-*** to clean cut, and the Stone's went from bad boy's to a safer act than Janet Jackson at the superbowl :p

Over a span of 40 years... And the Stones started out just like the Beatles FYI.

YOu are confusing making it big at the time with being remembered. We dont remember bands because they where different and made some sort of change. Their are countless bands that have made it "big" then just fall off the face of the earth.

That wasn't even my point, and most bands that make it big are remembered... hello Michael Jackson? The Eagles? Elvis? Tom Jones? Name me a band that has made it big that dissappeared, unless you are talking about one hit wonders and I'm missreading your post. Any way my point was, that it was just a matter of time before America was "conquered" and the Beatles just happened to be the ones who did it.

Oh and by my defination big = more then two hit albums. Perferably three.

Hopefully Nickelback will be one of those bands that "made it" but are forgotten in the future.

But yeah, pretty much any band that made it big at some point will never be completely forgotten. There'll always be a cult following for a band somewhere at least.

[bcf717]

Isn't it fun to play the 'What if?' game. You know -- 'What if the Stones was the band to first make it in America?' 'What if the Beatles never got together?' --

I'm probably dating myself, but back in college many moons ago, we used to get high and debate things like that. 'What if Ringo died as a child -- who would be the drummer?' What if Keith Moon was the Beatles drummer? Would they have made it as a band?' 'What if there was no Beatles?' 'What if Buddy Holly lived? -- or Hendrix?' 'What if?'

We used to spend hours in that esoteric vein -- which rated right up there with the amusment of 'discovering' the patterns on the tips of your fingers....:D

I don't think I've ever really taken the time to think about that kind of stuff. It seems kind of pointless to me because the possibilities of things that could've changed if this or that had happened are nearly endless. I think I'd go cross-eyed trying to think of them all.

I just realized I've never stared at my finger tips either:-/...am I missing out?

[El_Goodo]

No one's said anything for two days. So I'll start it up...my friend just pointed out to me that Ringo Starr is in the Warner Brothers version of Alice In Wonderland. He is dressed up as a turtle and sings a song about nonsense, lol it was quite funny to see.

[Leper]

Hmm I've only ever seen the Disney Alice in Wonderland. I think I'll have to check that out.

[blue3]

Yeah, I've seen the Disney version before too but never seen that other one.

[magicbus]

I really like Let It Be...Naked. I just picked it up on Saturday, and it's really gotten me into the rest of songs on Let It Be. I didn't really listen to it much, but they're actually all pretty cool songs. My favorite newly discovered songs are "Dig A Pony", "Don't Let Me Down", "I Me Mine", basically the whole album aside from "Let It Be" and "Two of Us". (Those are still cool, but those are the only two I really listened to before buying Naked).

What about Across the Universe??:eek:

[robo2448]

Ha glad to see another Dig a Pony fan. It's a good song. John said that he thinks it might be the worst thing he's ever written and the lyrics are pretty meaningless, but musically it rules.

I've Got A Feeling is a sweet song. Paul played it live when I went to see him.

[Leper]

Yeah I already like Let it Be as well. I still plan on getting Let it Be...Naked eventually though.

[Seafroggys]

i saw the Paul McCartney thing on PBS, it was pretty cool. I love the song he multi-tracked at the end. Really cool. His vocals on that rocked!

[magicbus]

I've always listened to "Across the Universe". I should've put that with the few songs I listened to before Naked.

I like how on "Dig a Pony" the "all I need is you" part reminds me of Joe Cocker's version of "A Litte Help From My Friends". That is an awesome song, and I love that part.

[penelope weird hands]

My girl is getting me into The Beatles.
I only have Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Haha yeah. He was the "Queen rocks" guy in the cr thread right? Anyways, I'd say that both versions of Let it Be are worth owning. Because Spector's work isn't all bad and some of the songs are better on Let it Be than they are on ...naked, especially the song Let it Be. And I have to agree with MBS, I've Got a Feeling is a sweet song. Probably my favorite off of Let it Be actually. John and Paul really show off their ability to sing completely different ways but stay in harmony on there if that makes any sense.

Edit- Why is this thread always so dead. We've had like 5 posts in here in the last two weeks. Somebody post something..

Yikes! Page 3 of the R&M forums...

I saw Paul McCartney doing this PBS show where he did this little concert and recording demonstration at Abbey Road studios a few nights ago. It was pretty sweet. There was a mellowtron there, and he did the intro to Strawberry Fields, just like on the record. Did anybody else see that?

Edit: Whoops, just read seafroggys post. That thing at the end was pretty tight.

[blue3]

I wish I saw that.

[BigTrav415]

Ah, so that's the psychadelic-instrument thingy that's on all the Magical Mystery Tour stuff. I've been trying to figure that out for a while. I've heard Abbey Road is the biggest/nicest/most advanced recording studio out there.

[Seafroggys]

i wouldn't exactly call the mellotron a psychadelic instrument. And Paul played the song in the wrong key (damn my perfect pitch).

Yeah I went to Abbey Road's website and they're pretty much the most technologically advanced studio in UK, if not the world. The newer Star Wars trilogy was mixed there.

[thickasabrick]

Isn't the studio that Pink Floyd recorded Piper at the Gates of Dawn right by Abbey Road?

Hmm I dunno Blue, the guitar isn't the actual tabs, I just kind of improvised it as simple as possible. Guitar purists might get angry:eek:. The vocals sound alright though.

[thickasabrick]

How Dare You Not Play It Perfectly Exact! :angry:

No just kidding. Haha, does your song have drums and singing and all that? I am interested in hearing it, and it doesn't really matter if it sounds exact. I think it's cooler when people make their own versions of songs instead of copying the song exactly. :chug:

[Leper]

It's just guitars and vocals. I double tracked the vocals on the chorus and it sounds really cool. I tried doing the entire song with double tracked vocals but it kind of sounded over-killed.

I might upload it somewhere later, not right now though. With my dial-up I'm pretty sure I'd have to make it an all day affair haha.

[BassMasterMike88]

i saw the Paul McCartney thing on PBS, it was pretty cool. I love the song he multi-tracked at the end. Really cool. His vocals on that rocked!

I was going to watch that, but I had two tests the next day:upset: I've seen the documenry about how Geogre Martin produced Srt. Peppers on only a four track.

Sweet song, but I love Let It Be in general

Magicpoon: You forgot Across the Universe :mad:

I've Got A Feeling is a sweet song. Paul played it live when I went to see him.

Am I the only one who found that funny?

But anyways, I recorded a cover of hide your live away a long time ago, I don't think I played the guitar exactly either and it cuts out at the end but most people enjoy it! Here's (http://www.purevolume.com/ternion) a link to it!

And as for let it be, I like Dig A Pony, Two Of Us, Across The Universe, and I've Got A Feeling (the last two are probably in my top 10 beatle songs), and of course Let It Be and the Long and Winding Road. The cleaned up version of across the universe on let it be...naked blew my mind.

And in solo news, I recently bought the 2001 re-release of All Things Must Pass, I was gonna get Radiohead's The Bends and another cd with the 2 for 25 sticker, but I couldnt find a good enough one. Then I saw Harrisons best of was 2 for 25 but it had no songs I hand't heard, then I saw All Things Must Pass and put the bends back. Im really digging I'd Have You Anytime, and Wah-Wah. And the ones I heard before like My Sweet Lord, Isn't It A Pity, What is Life, and All Things Must Pass are all incredible.

[Leper]

Yeah I remember I really liked your cover. I think I gave you some feedback on it too..I just assumed your guitar track was the actual tabs.

[robo2448]

Yeah I remember your cover. It was very good. You had a pretty good voice if I remember correctly.

All Things Must Pass owns. If Not For You is my favorite. But the whole album is very solid except for some songs where Spector's production is just a little too much (What is Life, Hear Me Lord, and The Art of Dying). But even those songs are pretty good too.

And yeah, PATGOD was recorded right next to Sgt. Pepper's.

So yeah, Magical Mystery Tour owns. I could never pick a favorite Beatles song, but Strawberry Fields Forever is definitely one of my favorites.

[Leper]

Yeah I love MMT. Fool on the Hill is one of my two favourite McCartney songs, the other being For No One.

[El_Goodo]

For No One is a really great song! I heard it for the first time just a few months ago and I loved it.

[zabbit82]

Yeah, its a great song. Revolver as a whole is better. But everyone here knows that....

I haven't heard MMT in a while. Magical Mystery Tour, Fool On The Hill and Penny Lane have always been my favs on that. Flying is pretty sweet too.

One of the few songs I absolutly cannot stand. In fact I hate it. I have nothing Beatles related to add other then I like Blue Jay Way.

[TheDMV]

It's a nice singalong piece. It seems that Graham Nash wrote more poppy songs then the rest of them. All their different styles together is pretty awesome.

[Seafroggys]

I wonder what Abbey Road was like back in the day? I heard Sgt. Peppers was recorded on a 4 track.

Isn't the studio that Pink Floyd recorded Piper at the Gates of Dawn right by Abbey Road?

I'm pretty sure it was recorded *at* Abbey Road, seeing as how DSOTM was recorded at Abbey Road.

Actually Abbey Road was slightly behind the technology, 8 track had been around since the mid 60s and they didn't get it until 1969 for Abbey Road (the last recorded album). Apple Studios (where Let it Be was recorded) had an 8 track, and I think they recorded Hey Jude on an 8 track in 1968. And according to the movie Ray, Ray Charles had a 16 track recorder in the early 60s, though I did have doubts if that was exactly accurate.

[Leper]

Ouuuuuuur House! Is a very very very fine house! *fine house*

That's how the song goes.

I also really love Blue Jay Way. Then again I love all Harrison's songs from Revolver- on.

[Norman]

The Beatles? Who are they?

I finally picked up Abbey Road (on CD) today. One of my favourite bands. Well of course.

[robo2448]

I like Our House. It's cheesy and poppy but it's still a nice song. Deja Vu is gold. And so are The Beatles. Especially Abbey Road. Okay that was a really lame and pathetic attempt to get the thread back on topic. I've still been listening to lots of MMT. Flying is so trippy and cool. Blue Jay Way is a pretty good George song, but he has better songs. I like how I get such a mystic feeling while listening to it. It's hard to describe but it's cool.

[Jacaranda]

Blue Jay Way is a pretty good George song, but he has better songs
The only one I can think of is "While My Guitar Gentyl Weeps."
:)

[DeusExMachina]

Blue Jay Way is decent, not spectacular in my opinion.

[Seafroggys]

The only one I can think of is "While My Guitar Gentyl Weeps."
:)

And Here Comes the Sun and Something.

[DeusExMachina]

And Here Comes the Sun and Something.
Truth. Those were actually the two songs I was thinking of that are both far better than Blue Jay Way.

[iheartlennon]

alright im looking to buy the vinyl because its the only one i dont have and was wondering which one is better the one with the red top or the one with the yellow top because ive had the chance to buy both but i dont know which one is more valueble or isnt there a difference. o and by the way they both come with the cut outs still in tact and i am estatic about that.

[Britton]

I think they are both worth the same amount.


Get them both

[Ephemeral]

Why not buy the CD?

[magicbus]

3 day bump.

Anyways, we rented the Anthology dvd's from the library and I watched the first one today. Pretty cool seeing how it all came together. It was also pretty funny how they had to tell Stu to turn around for pictures because his fingering on the neck was all wrong :lol:

[Classics_of_Love]

Because vinyl is not only better quality but he will get the original artwork, which was a really big part of that album.

[Seafroggys]

Because vinyl is not only better quality but he will get the original artwork, which was a really big part of that album.

no, vinyl doesn't sound better......tape masters sound better than digital masters, however.

Basically, if you take a master tape (pretty much every song from the early-mid 50s to the early 80s) released it both on a CD and vinyl, the CD will sound better, I don't care what you think.

However, if you take a digital recording and don't master it through tape, it won't sound as good.

[Leper]

Vinyls are more fun to collect though. I also like the enlarged artwork as well.

[Seafroggys]

well true, and vinyl's artwork are unmatched. I was talking about pure sonic characteristics.

[Leper]

I don't think I could really tell the difference in sound quality if I heard a vinyl in good shape, and then a cd. But yeah I know what you mean Seafroggys.

[rockinbass17]

I hear the sound difference between vinyl and cd's, and cd's definatley sound better, but I enjoy listening to music, especially older music, on vinyl. It feels more genuine, and its different. I finally got my needle on my record player fixed. Hoorah.

No clue man. My advice would be to buy a new record player if possible.

[some jive turkey]

according to the movie Ray, Ray Charles had a 16 track recorder in the early 60s, though I did have doubts if that was exactly accurate.

somehow I doubt that. unless he had two 8-tracks that were synched up somehow. i think people were always trying to do stuff like that.

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

In 1969, The Grateful Dead recorded Aoxomoxoa with a sixteen track machine, one of the first (if not the first) in the country. Maybe it took a couple of years to ship one over to Abbey Road :D

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

Of course vinyl sounds better. It's an uninterupted sound, while CDs use digital sampling. If you can find a good quality vinyl that's not all scratched up, it will sound way warmer and brighter than a CD.

[Led-ZeppelinIV]

Just call the manufacturer and see if you can buy a replacement, otherwise look on ebay.

warmer and brighter? Do you know what you're saying :)

I know Hendrix had one of the first 16 trackrecorders in his Electric Ladyland Studio in like 1969. I'm sure Ray Charles probably had like two 8 tracks synced (or even 4 4 tracks synced, if its early enough), or the movie was just full of ****.

Well, I guess those wouldn't really be the right words. It's hard to describe. It's like... fuller? I don't know. It's just better.

[Leper]

Yeah I got what you were saying. I don't think human ears are sensitive enough to really pick up the interuptions on a CD though.

[magicbus]

Here's my take on pre-Rubber Soul albums:

I'm starting to get into more of the early stuff now that I've watched the Anthology. Before then I never really gave most of those songs a chance, but after hearing them on the movie, I realized they're good too.

Early songs I really like:

A Hard Day's Night
I'll Be Back
I Should've Known Better
Can't Buy Me Love
If I Fell
Eight Days A Week
I Saw Her Standing There
Please Please Me
Love Me Do
Do You Want To Know A Secret
Twist And Shout
It Won't Be Long
All My Loving
Till There Was You
I Wanna Be Your Man

I don't like all the other stuff that's like Chuck Berry covers and 50's rock type stuff. I don't really dig on that.

And while on the subject of early stuff, the entire Help! album is great.

4th page bump :eek:

[Leper]

The only thing I don't like about the Beatles early stuff is that some of it is way too sappy, but I guess that was the style at the time.

[guitrguy]

They maybe sappy but they are catchy as hell.

[Leper]

Yes definitely catchy as hell. Afterall, most of them are almost pure pop. I will say one thing for them though, they're a lot more fun to listen to in the car than later Beatles.

[guitrguy]

Yes definitely catchy as hell. Afterall, most of them are almost pure pop. I will say one thing for them though, they're a lot more fun to listen to in the car than later Beatles.
I dunno about that If you have a car full of people who know the words to most later Beatle songs.

[Leper]

Hmm that's a good point, but the thing I like about old Beatles songs in the car is that they don't really require much of your attention to appreciate, unlike most later Beatles songs.

[magicbus]

Last time I was in a car ful of people who knew Beatles lyrics, they had 1 one. We got some early songs and some late ones, but everyone was singing to all of it.

[DeusExMachina]

They maybe sappy but they are catchy as hell.
Agreed. Plus, they're not all super sappy.

[MidnightRider]

I like the early stuff, that's how I got into The Beatles.

[pigonthewing82]

I worked my way backwards with the Beatles. I used to hate their early stuff and love the White Album and Abby Road, though now I'm a Beatles fan of all years.

[Seafroggys]

I started with Yellow Submarine (the movie and songtrack). I was pretty much rooted in the psychadelic era for awhile, then went forward to the awesomeness of their later years, mainly Abbey Road and the White Album. Only recently have I begun getting CDs of their early stuff (got Help and Hard's Days Night several months ago).

[Leper]

Agreed. Plus, they're not all super sappy.

I said some, not all.

I learned to play Across the Universe on guitar the other day. Really fun song to play.

[blue3]

I love that song. I finally learned all of Blackbird a few days ago.

I used to have the Past Masters Vol. 1 years ago before I gave it to a friend a long time ago. It had all of those, short of I Call Your Name, I think.

Revolver is such a nice album to listen to when you're bored during any class in school :)

I've been obsessed with In My Life this week. I even learned it on guitar yesterday. Like most Beatles songs its really fun to play. I'm still trying to find the keybord solo transcribed. Great song. I've been obsessed with the entire Yellow Submarine soundtrack as well. It's All Too Much is a great song too.

[Seafroggys]

i've been obsessed with In My Life for like, 5 years!

I learned it on bass like sophmore year, when i was trying to learn bass (didn't learn much, just a few riffs and songs) but at least I can play it!

[Leper]

In My Life has been one of my 2 favourite Beatles songs for a solid 3 years now. The other song has changed numerous times. I love the deeply personal lyrics though, and the melody is beautiful.

[Ephemeral]

In My Life is a beautiful song, and to think that they were pretty young when they wrote it. It is pretty deep.

[StrawberryFieldsForever]

The only one I can think of is "While My Guitar Gentyl Weeps."
:)

I like Here Comes the Sun better than Blue Jay Way...but i do agree, While My Guitar Gently Weeps is the best Harrison song. Claptons solo's are heart-melting, and the beggining is beautiful.

And IMO, Something is over-rated, still good.

[El_Goodo]

While were talking about obscure songs, I Call Your Name is one of my favourite Beatle tracks. I love the hook/chorus "Ooo I can't sleep at night, but just the same, I don't weep at night, I Call your name!"

[Seafroggys]

obscure Beatles songs? You mean from their earlier days?

I've always liked Tell Me What You See....though I don't know if thats obscure or not.

[JonG]

The solo in In My Life is amazing.

I've been liking Please Please Me for a bit now. Revolver never gets old.

The sped up piano played by George Martin?

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

Any of you see that 'Chaos and Creation at Abbey Road' awhile back with Paul McCartney?

I've never heard that one D/L it as I post. :thumb:

EDIT: It's pretty good, I like it :)

yeah I saw that. Pretty interesting, but stuff I already knew anyways (I've been studying The Beatles' recording techniques for years now)

[Ephemeral]

Yeah, me too. But interesting none the less to see.

[MidnightRider]

I watched that, it was pretty cool. I liked the live footage.

[StrawberryFieldsForever]

I've never seen any Beatles live footage...it makes me ashamed. The closest I've seen is like A Hard Day's Night.

[superjoe]

np: white album disc 1

me neither..anyone have any footage they can upload?

[purgatory]

I love The Beatles! My favorite song would have to be While My Guitar Gently Weeps!

[Seafroggys]

i have Shea Stadium 1965 and Budokan? Stadium 1966 on DVD. I don't know how to rip video though.

[pigonthewing82]

The solo in In My Life is amazing.


Yeah I've been trying to learn it on guitar, its not that hard but I still can't seem to get it to sound right, or at least the way I want it to. I would love to find a keybord player to jam on that song with. Mabye I would be able to think up way to play the solo if an actual keyboard led me into it.

I'm also trying to learn Strawberry Feilds Forever and I Am The Walrus. I've only practiced the chords and singing for both, but I want to try to get a solo or two down for both of them. I would love to be able to play a really trippy cover of I Am The Walrus. I've been fooling around with playing the chords with the tremolo effect on my amp. It sounds interesting, but not so much I'm sure I'm going to keep it.

[El_Goodo]

Oasis does a mean cover of I Am The Walrus!

[blue3]

I've never heard it. Name change?

[Leper]

I'd really love to see the Shea Stadium performance. I actually didn't know it was released on DVD. I'm gonna have to keep a watchfull eye out for it now.

[Seafroggys]

my uncle made me a DVD with the Shea Stadium concert on it....problem is I don't know how to rip video.

[MBS]

I saw some from their early American appearances a while back, but nothing since then, or from their heyday. Then again there isn't that much live footage going around, I think. :-/

I'm trying to get the Let It Be DVD to no avail. :upset:

[Seafroggys]

i own Let it Be on a video copies from a video copies from a video that I think was copies from a video....not sure

Anyways, its at least a 3rd generation recording....the original VHS release was from like 1981....so you can already know the quality of the tape I got.

[pigonthewing82]

Oasis does a mean cover of I Am The Walrus!

I heard Frank Zappa did a cover of the song too. I would love to hear it because, well, that song sound right up Zappa's ally.

[White]

That's happened to me too. I've had Abbey Road, Magical Mystery Tour and 1 for a long time, then I got Rubber Soul and Revolver recently after my friend got me onto a huge Beatles kick. Revolver never gets old, no matter how many times it gets played.

[MidnightRider]

I've only seen the clips off of the Anthology.

[pigonthewing82]

I wish that they had some live stuff from their latter days besides the roof top concert. I would give anything to hear a long, live, extended jam by them on one of their songs. (I Want You) Shes So Heavy would be amazing.

:eek:
/wets self

That would be awesome...

I saw a Hard Day's Night a while ago with a few of my friends, and I found every joke in there to be, I dunno, silly? It was pretty cool tho.

[Seafroggys]

did you know that the longest Beatles recording is Helter Skelter at 27 minutes long? They cut it down to 4 for the album though :P

i'd give a lot to hear that recording

Yeah I heard about that. I forget where. I'd kill to hear that.

[Seafroggys]

if there was, I would have heard it by now

notice the fade in and out before the end of the song? Yeah, there's like 22 minutes in that gap.
