The Beatles

[Dave de Sylvia]

Take one for the team!!! Although Tim McGraw kinda puts me right off the idea. If he invites Nelly I'll jump off a bridge. :upset:

[DeusExMachina]

There is nothing wrong with Tim McGraw. I think. But, regardless, 10 bucks says that the "all star performance" of Across The Universe will suck. Although Norah Jones IS very very awesome.

[Seafroggys]

Hey, Bono is there!

[clown_phobia]

Has anyone seen the whole 1st ed sullivan show performance?

[DeusExMachina]

Hey, Bono is there!

Bono is a hack. U2 wish they were as cool as REM.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Has anyone seen the whole 1st ed sullivan show performance?

No. Do you know where I could find it?

[DeusExMachina]

I'm sure its out on video. You should check on Amazon.

[Seafroggys]

I've seen I want to hold your hand off the first performance.

You know, I really enjoy the Beatles' live stuff ('65 and earlier moreover), they're really good showmen. The energy they had at Shea Stadium was pretty amazing for the time. Moreover, later on, they just, well, stopped caring, and it really shows.

I want to see that footage of them at The Cavern. That's probably the best live Beatles you'd ever see (except for the Rooftop concert).

[Woodstock]

Yeah, the Shea Stadium footage was pretty funny. John went psychotic on the keyboard, and it seems like he was high.

[RNR]

Paul was awesome at the superbowl halftime show :D. It's good that he played the old stuff.

[Woodstock]

W00t for McCartney, it seems he can still rock. And he still has a good voice.

[Johnny B. Good]

He doesn't sound British anymore though

[clown_phobia]

For those that didn't see Paul McCartney's Half-Time Performance at the 39th Superbowl, the setlist was as follows:


Drive My Car
Get Back
Live and Let Die
Hey Jude


I thought it was a very good show, but it would have been even better if it had lasted longer :D. Luckily I had my video recorder ready so I have a copy on tape now :).

[Seafroggys]

W00t for McCartney, it seems he can still rock. And he still has a good voice.

Hell yeah. I saw him two years ago, and I was afraid he'd be a dissapointment. Nope, he can still fricken sing like he was 30. If I age as well as he has, I will be happy.

Ur an Aussie (like me), what Channel was it on?

and where can i get a copy of it !!!!!!?

[clown_phobia]

It was on SBS.

Somebody might leak it to Limewire... but i'm not sure where you will be able to get it. If i had a digital copy i'd send it to you.

[clown_phobia]

Some more info about the half time show:

Paul played bass for the first two songs (Drive My Car, Get Back) and Piano for the second two (Live and Let Die, Hey Jude).

[Sgt._Joker]

did he use is violin style bass?

[clown_phobia]

Yeah he did. It sounded great.

[DeusExMachina]

Pardon my ignorance, but what makes the violin bass any different from a normal bass? It looked like he played it normally, so unless it's tuned like a violin, the only similarity is it looks kind of like a violin.

[OfSins&Shred]

Hi guys I own the white album & sgt Peppers.. I love them both, which album should I purchase next do you reckon?

[Woodstock]

Hi guys I own the white album & sgt Peppers.. I love them both, which album should I purchase next do you reckon?
Abbey Road most definetly. It should blow those two away.

yea,I saw that he was great.I was amazed that him being in his 60's he wouldn't sound that good,but no his voice hasn't aged and weathered away like some artist.I was like wow,I do hope if I'm luckily enough to be playing music on that grand level to play that good for that long.Would definately be a great dream.

[Schyma]

I would have recorded it but I wasn't thinking to clearly at the time.....:(

[clown_phobia]

You're right.

Does anyone like Help?

[Sgt._Joker]

Hi guys I own the white album & sgt Peppers.. I love them both, which album should I purchase next do you reckon?

i'd go Revolver or Magical Mystery Tour because they are quite pyshcadellic albumns and both are Breath Taking but u should definatly delve into the early stuff, try rubber soul or Help!

[Six Foot Revolver]

I'd agree with revolver

[Ulysses]

Revolver without a doubt, with so many good tracks it would be definately the choice, It would have to be my favourite Beatles album at the moment.

[Six Foot Revolver]

Sgt. Pepper's is my favourite at the moment

[Walrus Gumboot]

Wow, I still can't believe that half time show. Best ever. I was expecting them to bring a newer top 40 singer on to do a duet, and they didn't, which made it the best ever. I was so **** happy that he can still do that scream at the middle of Hey Jude. My History teacher said that he wasn't supposed to play "Get Back" because of it's drug referencing. I wonder if that is true.

PS.Does anyone have a link or two for his tour?

[Six Foot Revolver]

Was it really as good as they say it was?

[RNR]

It was really good. It's like seeing a Beatles concert and nobody has seen one of those for a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time.

[Seafroggys]

It was really good. It's like seeing a Beatles concert and nobody has seen one of those for a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time.

Wouldn't it be great if you just happened to stroll down Saville Road one day in late January 69 and seen that rooftop concert? Wow.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

I would possibly have had a heart attack if that^ happened. I loved the half-time show! Good songs, cool fireworks, just great. I didn't even watch any of the game.

[LedZeppelin173]

Wouldn't it be great if you just happened to stroll down Saville Road one day in late January 69 and seen that rooftop concert? Wow.

that would have been SOO awesome dude...

i didnt see the super bowl halftime show. i wish i did, but sir paul beats the hell out of janet jackson and justin timberlake anyday

[pigonthewing82]

Wouldn't it be great if you just happened to stroll down Saville Road one day in late January 69 and seen that rooftop concert? Wow.

thats everybodys dream, well that and being pulled out of the crowd at a show and asked to do a solo

[Sgt._Joker]

^^^^^ wouldnt it of been brill to be one of the beatles? or be in a band that is "the Beatles" equivalent?




stupid thing to say, but, meh.

[Ulysses]

^^^^^ wouldnt it of been brill to be one of the beatles? or be in a band that is "the Beatles" equivalent?




stupid thing to say, but, meh.

Funny you mention that, I was dreaming that today as I often do, me in my time-warp. I was listening to "Love You To" off Revolver at the time. A mate of mine recorded me when I was smashed off my face talking about how I wanted to make it big and be like the Beatles and Pink Floyd, sad but true. :cool:

[Imagine4Lennon]

Sad thing is the second disc always falls out of my rotation, but Sexie Sadie is awesome.

The White Album, in my opinion is the beat Beatles album, it's so..versatile..and..different. I love it. The second disc is in my opinion the better disc. I like a greater percantage of the songs on 2 than 1.
I pretty much like the whole white album, except three songs, which in my mind suck
-Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (eww)
- Mother Nature's Son (throws up)
- Wild Honey Pie (meh)

A lot of beatles fans don't like revolution 9 because it's so weird and eerie. I think it's cool. You have to remember/respect how much time it must have taken to put together all those clips, and arrange the backwards looping, and sound effects etc. You also have to keep in mind how INCREDIBLY ****ed up John and Yoko must have been (meaning ****ed up on drugs) when they put it together. It's a cool little song-collage. It's followed up by Good Night, which is a beautiful closer to an incredible album

[Woodstock]

Mother Nature's Son is a great song.

[Gajarigon]

He sung it but didn't write it. I could be wrong though

You're correct. Here is said it was written for and not by Ringo Starr. (http://www.iamthebeatles.com/article1284.html)

[Seafroggys]

Mother Nature's Son is alright.
Ob-la-de Ob-la-da is a fun little song.
Wild Honey Pie is the worst Beatles song of all time

The White Album has the best songs, but a lot of substandard songs too. Overall as a whole album, Abbey Road is the best.

[Walrus Gumboot]

I don't think they would need to be ****ed up to do rev. 9, he just kept on running upstairs to the sound library at EMI and making loops. Apperently the "Number Nine, Number Nine" bit was something an engineer said that they just worked into it, but the power it has over people whan they first listen to it is very interesting. It's like being ****ed in a way, really paranoid, afraid of whats comming next, its a sound trip, really. You should read what John had to say about it in the big anthology book-- pretty interesting.

[Woodstock]

The Anthology is my Beatles Bible.

[DeusExMachina]

I need to find my copy of it. It got packed up in a box when I moved...

[Johnny B. Good]

I think 1 is a pretty decent album to have of the Beatles
and is probably good for someone just getting into the Beatles

[DeusExMachina]

Definitely. I'm beginning to think that Rubber Soul might actually be better than Abbey Road.

[Johnny B. Good]

I don't know Abbey Road is so good as a whole album
Rubber Soul is kind of poppy Beatles still
Mind you I like poppy Beatles but not as much as later, Psychadelic if you will, Beatles

[El_Goodo]

Me and my band are working on covering twist and shout...its an wicked fun song to cover :)

[clown_phobia]

Yeah I like playing guitar and singing it :thumb:

It's fun, but it's not very challenging.

[Sgt._Joker]

Honey Pie is actually quite a bloody good song, the lyrics are lacking, but experimentation n guitar sounds OWN!,

very cool, bongo drum sounding, drum beat aswell.

My friend got a 12 string acoustic for christmas, i'm thinking "You've got to hide your love away"

question:
Is there an existing tab of George Harrisons lead part in "You've got to hide your love away"

if you know of any sites that have it, OR if you have the Beatles Complete Scores, could you type it up in Tab Fashion.................. Please?
cheers

[Imagine4Lennon]

This is sort of off topic, but since you're all Beatles fans, you should check out www.beatles-discography.com It's a great site, with lots of Beatles information. Also, there's a forum dedicated to the Beatles where you can chat with tons of other Beatles fans from all around the world. I suggest you join.

Rubber Soul is kind of poppy, true, but it has the groundwork of their really amazing work. It's poppy, but poppy in a very intelligent way. I love it. Abbey Road is still probably my favorite though.

[Woodstock]

I think Rubber Soul rivals Abbey Road.

[OfSins&Shred]

Revolver without a doubt, with so many good tracks it would be definately the choice, It would have to be my favourite Beatles album at the moment.

I tried to get revolver but the bloody record store couldn't find the cd, so I got Abbey Rd instead, Ive listened to it once so far & it sounds alot more poppy and not as upbeat as white album or sgt peppers, not sure if I like it yet...

Naked, or the original version?

[DeusExMachina]

Naked > The original version.

[Woodstock]

Naked > The original version.
Couldn't agree more.

[Badmoon]

Naked > The original version.

I disagree, however...

Across the Universe (Nakes Version) > Across the Universe (Original)


Naked, or the original version?

I have them both, but the original. :)

[Johnny B. Good]

I don't like Let It Be that much. I think they have better albums

[Woodstock]

I love Dig A Pony. Great song.

[clown_phobia]

I prefer the original version of the Let it Be song.

[Sgt._Joker]

of course naked is gonna be better then Let It Be Orig, becourse its remastered and all that jazz

but i prefer Let It Be (original) because of the way you Hear John Lennon and other beatles saying intros and what have you

[EightMilesHigh]

I don't like Let It Be that much. I think they have better albums


Same here. Other than Let It Be and Get Back, it was a letdown for me. Abbey Road > Let It Be.

[EightMilesHigh]

Wouldn't it be great if you just happened to stroll down Saville Road one day in late January 69 and seen that rooftop concert? Wow.


*heart attack*

[clown_phobia]

Wow that would have been fantastic. The closest to seeing it i've come is seeing homer simpsons and the b-sharps playing their rooftop concert.

[Sgt._Joker]

Same here. Other than Let It Be and Get Back, it was a letdown for me. Abbey Road > Let It Be.


Thats why the Beatles recorded abbey road, they wanted to end on a better note and didnt feel Let it Be was their best, still, Let it Be has really really grown on me, I've got a Feeling, and Two of Us, are 2 awesome songs

[Imagine4Lennon]

Thats why the Beatles recorded abbey road, they wanted to end on a better note and didnt feel Let it Be was their best, still, Let it Be has really really grown on me, I've got a Feeling, and Two of Us, are 2 awesome songs

The way Abbey Road ended (with Her Majesty) sucks, though. They should've just cut Her Majesty all together, and ended it with "The End"

[clown_phobia]

That was a joke :) I think it was good.

The End was intended to be the last song on the last beatles album, but as a joke they pasted her majesty on the end there.

so, when listening to it, the listener listens to 'the end' and thinks it is the last song (as her majesty is not on the back of the original british lp). The listener thinks "it's sad that beatles split up" etc, and "that album is good".

Then, he/she hears her majesty (as a joke).

[Sgt._Joker]

Her Majesty Owns!

its awesome, very good way to go out,

[thickasabrick]

That's true. Both are great albums though.

What do you guys think of the Let It Be Naked album as compared to the original? I don't feel it was any better or worse, but I probably end up listening to it more than the original. I really like Dig a Pony on Naked.

[Sgt._Joker]

oooo, we have had this conversation before, :P

but non the less, i like both but enjoy hearing John Lennon doing intros to the songs on the original,
but i love dont let me down on naked ;)

[DeusExMachina]

The way Abbey Road ended (with Her Majesty) sucks, though. They should've just cut Her Majesty all together, and ended it with "The End"

Negatory. I love Her Majesty.

[Woodstock]

Most people didn't even no Her Majesty was on the album when it first came out. Since it was a delayed song, most people took the record off the player assuming it was over.

[clayman112388]

Delayed track = hidden track?

Would anybody else agree with me in saying that early Beatles was too poppy?

I personally prefer the later stuff, like the White Album.

[Woodstock]

I prefer their later material also, but I still like the older, poppier stuff.

[Broken Arrow]

I prefer their later material also, but I still like the older, poppier stuff.
I can only stand their poppy stuff to a certain extent. Love Me Do is great though.

[clown_phobia]

Help still counts as a pop album even though some of the stuff is fantastic :thumb:

Help, Yesterday etc.

[ultraspamboy]

I'm reading A Day in the Life right now. I've only gotten up to the earlier period but it mentions how although they were poppy they were original. Most artists in the period just did covers of other people's songs but the Beatles were doing original songs. Musically, because they didn't have much musical training or something, they were unique because instead of using that chord progression from like every period song they used other chords that didn't fit in the context, prompting Bob Dylan to call them "outrageous". Bob Dylan also introduced the Beatles to marijuana.

[Seafroggys]

Some of the poppier Beatles had some nice melodies. All My Loving, Please Please Me, etc.

Hard Day's Night, She Loves You, Ticket to Ride are also great numbers (btw I don't have any of the older albums, only the #1 album, so my knowledge is limited).

But the God song is In My Life. Also Nowhere Man. Also You Won't See Me.

Of course, this was at the end of their 'poppy' period.

[majority of people]

Getting better is such a underated song OMF IT SO ****ING GOOD - its on Sgt.peppers

[Sgt._Joker]

Delayed track = hidden track?

Would anybody else agree with me in saying that early Beatles was too poppy?

hmm, i'd have to say no, by todays standards, Yes, i'd just leave it at their early songs where very upbeat, and poppy.


i must admit i listen to their later stuff more then their early stuff, but i really think the early stuff is good,

On other matters,
would i be right in saying that "she Loves You" is the first song The Beatles started experimenting with Lyrics and music. if you watch the Beatles Anthology DVDs Paul McCartney says something along the lines of:

"we first started thinking about being different... i think it was "She Loves You" i said to john 'oh whats something that hasnt been done before' and we finally thought we'd try and write a song as if it was a conversation with some one else"

does anyone know better?

[DeusExMachina]

Some of the poppier Beatles had some nice melodies. All My Loving, Please Please Me, etc.

Hard Day's Night, She Loves You, Ticket to Ride are also great numbers (btw I don't have any of the older albums, only the #1 album, so my knowledge is limited).

But the God song is In My Life. Also Nowhere Man. Also You Won't See Me.

Of course, this was at the end of their 'poppy' period.

All three of those are on Rubber Soul. Rubber Soul, if considered one of the poppy albums, is proof that the poppy era has some songs every bit as good as the later era.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

I like a lot of the poppy era (Twist and Shout pwns), but I don't think I would love the Beatles as much if they didn't come out with their later stuff.

I rented the Anthology DVDs yesterday. I couldn't take my eyes off of the screen. Amazing. I absolutely LOVE the Beatles. I haven't watched them all yet though.

I haven't seen the extended videos. All I've seen were our recordings from when they original aired (which were much shorter from the released on video/dvd versions)

[Woodstock]

The Anthology seems to go more in depth to the early years than the later years. I was a little upset by that.

[guitrguy]

I know more about their later years then their early, so it would do me some good.

[DeusExMachina]

I should get those. Or just rent them, as they're pretty expensive is my understanding.

[TheSeeker625]

I have a question:
When the Beatles broke up, did they remain friends, or did they stop talking to each other? Did Lennon and McCartney talk after the break up, or did Lennon die angry at McCartney?

[Sgt._Joker]

I have a question:
When the Beatles broke up, did they remain friends, or did they stop talking to each other? Did Lennon and McCartney talk after the break up, or did Lennon die angry at McCartney?


Lennon and McCartney were the best of mates, although they did go through a rough patch during the break up, John released his, anger, and anything he might have against paul with his song "How do you sleep?"

George Harrison must of stayed good mates with John because he went and played Guitar on John's Albumn "Imagine".

and you hear Ringo saying (on the beatles Anthology) when he talks about the break up and their feelings for each other:

"We were just, 4 really close mates who loved each other very much"

i hope that helps you ;)

[DeusExMachina]

Aww... thats all happy and cuddly and stuff.

[TheSeeker625]

Yeah, the whole Beatles mystique gives you that feeling.

Off topic, but am I the only one who is having some problems with MX right now?

[Walrus Gumboot]

I haven't been let on since last night

Oh! You guys! I saw the funniest thing today:

I was in an antique store and there was this really strange black and white photo in a frame on a wall. The picture was of three people in civil war clothing, one man in a suit with mutton-chop side burns (v. 1870's), an asian guy in a civil war uniform, and a very very ugly woman with a big nose(shockingly ugly) in a southern-belle sort of dress fanning herself and smiling coyly at the camera.
What does this have to do with the Beatles, you may ask? Well, the asian guy in the uniform looked sort of familiar, maybe like Yoko Ono, and then I looked again at the lady in the dress and realized it was John Lennon, at which point I shreiked with laughter, causing people to stare. I guess it was an original photo, and it cost $1200 so my guess is it was pretty rare

[Sgt._Joker]

keeping the forum rolling, i'm sure we have all heard some Amazing Beatle's covers, and quite frankly some covers that are really ****e,
What are some amazing Beatles covers that you have heard?

And what are some ****e Beatles Covers that you have Heard?

Great Beatles Covers i have heard:

Oasis covered I am the Walrus, Live, a feat in its self i think is a amazing seen alot of the Beatles later Stuff was designed so it couldnt be performed live and Oasis did it f-ing brilliantly.

Rufus Wainright, Moby and i think Sean Lennon covered Across the Universe, extremely well at the 9/11 John Lennon Tribute Concert.

Stone Temple Piolets, Revolution.

The Vines, I'm Only Sleeping.

Some ****e Beatles Covers:

Craig Davids covered Come together, and absolutley f-ing pulled it apart, and ripped it to shreds, he added a section of his own which was a god **** crap for fuks sake.

Michael Jackson has covered many Beatles songs, and his voice is WAY to poppy to be singing any of the Beatles stuff, it ruins it for me to hear his voice in Come Together or Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,

Kid Rock - Come Together,

and there is probably many more, give us your imput and post some more good or badly done beatles covers.

[clown_phobia]

Jet - Look what you've done is pretty much a beatles cover.

Look what you've done
Ah, look what you've done, you've made a fool of everyone.

The beatles - Sexie Sadie (white album)
Sexie Sadie, look what you've done, you've made a fool of everyone.

[Ulysses]

The Vines - I'm Only Sleeping, why did they bother.

[DeusExMachina]

Clown Phobia, having the same lyrics doesn't make a song a cover. If the music is the same, sure, but one line of lyrics being similar doesn't equal a cover.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

ringo stars a bad drummer though.....im sorry but it had to be said

I don't think he's a bad drummer, just not anything special. He does have one excuse though, he had to keep a steady beat during the touring period or else the songs might have just crumbled since no one could hear himself.

[Distant Echoes]

Ive heard of the Dirty Mac, but that was a while ago...i just disregarded it since i had no idea what it ever was.

Ringo is defintaly not the best drummer, defintaly doesnt suck for whoever thinks that (you just cant go crazy on a set for a band like the beatles), but is by far, one of the most inspirational without doubt

[TheSeeker625]

This might be old news, but I just found out that McCartney is touring North America next fall. The tour schedule should be announced on the last week of February. When he comes to NY:
I'M DEFINITLEY GOING NO MATTER WHAT.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

Next fall? As in fall 2005 or fall 2006? I'll probably get tickets, if I can.

[TheSeeker625]

Fall '05
I'm sure that every concert will sell out, so you better get em early.

[Seafroggys]

Fall '05
I'm sure that every concert will sell out, so you better get em early.

Oh yeah they sell out in 10 minutes.

When we went in October '02, we had to go to our friend's house and use their DSL and has like ten windows open so we could get a chance at some good seats.

To the person who said Ringo Starr sucks as a drummer, well....no I won't be a newb punk kid and say **** you. So instead I'll say....

F*U*C*K YOU!

Anyway, if you really think about it, were The Beatles' really that great at any of their instrumetns? Not too great (except maybe Paul on bass) compared to lots of other people, but is that really the point? No. They made badass music, and it sounded good. So in the end, thats what matters.

Personally (and I'm a drummer for those of you who don't know me) Ringo's drum sound on Abbey Road is the best drum sound of all time. No question about it. And the licks that he does on those great sounding toms sounds so wonderful.

And that's why The Beatle's are the greatest band of all time.

[TheSeeker625]

^Word up

[Ulysses]

ringo stars a bad drummer though.....im sorry but it had to be said

I beg to differ on this statement. I believe from my knowledge that Ringo is a solid, extremely reliable drummer and if you listened to any of the Beatles music you would realise that he is a great drummer who uses his skill to best effect especially in their post 1965 material, he plays a great sound and displays good technique for the music he plays. :cool: Ringo is a class act.

Any of you know of The Dirty Mac?

Yes!, i downloaded a 7 min clip of the rolling sotnes R and R Circus, and it was a clip of them playing "Yer Blues" all i have to say is F-ING AWESOME line up, can you tell me more places i can get clips or CD's of them?

As to the people who said Ringo Starr wasnt a good drummer i say:

Ringo Starr wasnt The Bestt drummer, but he had a f-ing awesome style, he didnt overdo the Tom Toms, and concentrated mainly on the snare, hit hat, crash symbols and Bass drum.

A style which Perfectly fitted the beatles, Plus Ringo added alot of "X" factor to the Beatles,

the band Oasis ( a band HEAVILY influenced by the Beatles), Their original drummer couldnt even keep time and they still had the most Succesful Debut Albumn for the last 15 years.
{if you like the beatles you should listen to some of their stuff}

And to the Person who said Paul McCartney was the only one of the beatles really fantastic at their Instrument,

George Harrison IMO is about the 5th Best Guitarest yet,and i think Harrison was very, very, very bloody Underated.

but i half agree with you in the sence that "They Could be Better"

but its not their talent that got them to the top, its the songs they produced.so youn knjow it doesnt mater how talented they were at their individual instrument.

[DeusExMachina]

Yikes. Sgt. Joker, you have good ideas, but would it kill you to be a bit more precise with your typing?

I like Ringo's drumming. It's not fancy, but fits well with the music. Ten minute drum solos don't fit in with the Beatles style.

I am definitely getting tickets to that Paul McCartney show, even if I have to sell my liver for it.

[Woodstock]

I've never seen any clips of The Dirty Mac. I want to so bad.

The Dirty Mac lineup:

John Lennon-rythm guitar/vocals
Eric Clapton-lead guitar
Keith Richards-bass
Mitch Mitchell-drums

[Walrus Gumboot]

Wow, that's impressive

Deus, I will out bid you with a liver AND a kidney.

So how was that cover of "Acress the Universe" on the grammies?

Go to www.downloads.com and search for "Limewire"
download that,
then in videos, search "The Rock and Roll Circus" or "Dirty Mac" or even "John Lennon and it should come up with 2 hits,
the Hit is probably the Names of the band members (J.L, K.R, E.C, M.M)
its a clip of about 7mins and it is very, very, very impressive.
(the clip is of Dirty Mac playing "Yer Blues")
Be carefull to look at the file size, if the Hit is exactly what you typed into search and is only 100 odd Kbs big its some kind of a dodgey virus or file.

ALT. buy the dvd of the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll circus.

(Sorry Deus, and all who can't stand my lack of gramma and what have you, i'll read of my posts more carefully.)

[DeusExMachina]

Wow, that's impressive

Deus, I will out bid you with a liver AND a kidney.

So how was that cover of "Acress the Universe" on the grammies?

I didn't see the Across the Universe cover. I decided to boycott the grammies when I learned that neither Norah Jones or Brian Wilson were nominated for best album.

I'll sell my liver, kidney, and left testicle for tickets to that show.

[Walrus Gumboot]

Crap! Not having testicles sometimes has a downside

Does anyone know where he's gonna play in NYC? Prolly MSG or Yankee Stadium

[TheSeeker625]

I would say MSG, but I'm not sure. He's announcing next week. If I don't get a ticket, I'm ****in sneaking in.

[Seafroggys]

Ringo Starr wasnt The Bestt drummer, but he had a f-ing awesome style, he didnt overdo the Tom Toms, and concentrated mainly on the snare, hit hat, crash symbols and Bass drum.

Ummm, he used a lot of tom tom later on. His tom tom sound on Abbey Road and bits on the White Album are a very signature sound. early on, he didn't use enough tom tom (then again, no one did, since no one knew how to tune 'em correctly back then to make them sound good).

[Sgt._Joker]

I said overdo the tom toms i didn't say he didn't use them, or that he only used tom toms a tiny bit,
all i ment was He didnt use them too much, or so much that they were overpowering in the songs.

Recently i have set up my cpu speakers so that the Subwoofer is closer to me then the speakers, and i've been turning up the bass to its maximum so i can hear Paul McCartneys bass playing more then anything else, Because i have never really heard his bass in many songs.

Its Really quite fuc*ing amazing,

*Just throwing my two cents in*

[opeth_oasis]

his bass isnt too difficult, but its catchy

[Riva]

So, what do you think about Sgt. Peppers topping the Beatles albums in the top 100 poll? I liked it. :)

[Walrus Gumboot]

It is really an impossible question to answer. That and the one with "who had the best solo career"

[Laztec]

Hey does the beatles anthology include the movie a Hard Day's Night?

[thunderzstruck2]

Why did the Beatles break up?

[Walrus Gumboot]

Alot of reasons, having to do with getting sick of each other, and of course, Yoko.

[RNR]

They were drifting apart. Yoko just pushed them waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over the edge.

[Sgt._Joker]

Yoko did not cause the beatles to break up, she might of had a tiny TINY bit to do with it, watch the beatles anthology ep. 8,
They were just tired and making music together wanstng giving them the kicks they used to.

The Beatles anthology does not incluede the movie a Hard Days Night, it has a few clips of it tho

[TheSeeker625]

The Beatles broke up because you can't have that much talent in one recording studio. they were all very talented and wanted to do different things, so the breakup was inevitable.

[Woodstock]

Paul McCartney does have great basslines, not too difficult, but very creative.

[HendrixLives316]

I am not familiar with the Beatles but I am going to buy an album. Which should I buy

[Woodstock]

I would say Abbey Road or The White Album.

[Schyma]

Seeing as you like Hendrix Im assuming you enjoy psychedelic music therefore you should get Magical Mystery Tour other will say Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Harts Club Band but I think MMT > SPLHCB.

[pigonthewing82]

Seeing as you like Hendrix Im assuming you enjoy psychedelic music therefore you should get Magical Mystery Tour other will say Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Harts Club Band but I think MMT > SPLHCB.

I totally agree. While SPLHCB did a lot for music, MMT did a lot for the Beatles. In a lot of ways that album marked one of the Beatles biggest changes.

[DonMancini]

Paul McCartney does have great basslines, not too difficult, but very creative.
Agreed. I love the ones in Ob-la-di Ob-la-da and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

[Woodstock]

Agreed. I love the ones in Ob-la-di Ob-la-da and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
His bass in Something is fantastic.

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

His bass in Something is fantastic.

I definitely agree. I like the bass in Michelle too. It just fits so perfectly. And I also agree with whoever said MMT>SPLHCB. MMT and Rubber Soul are my current favorites.

[Walrus Gumboot]

Paul McCartney does have great basslines, not too difficult, but very creative.

Exactly, I can play Something, but I couldn't have made it up. By any means.

[Last Ditch Effort]

Paul McCartney does have great basslines, not too difficult, but very creative.
I totally agree. His bass licks are addicting.
I personally love the on in "Hello, Goodbye".

[Seafroggys]

Paul's best bass line is probably Rain, and I also love the slides on Dear Prudance.

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

I'm listening to "A Day In The Life" as we speak. Great song. My favorite Beatles album is by far Sgt. Pepper & The Lonely Hearts Club Band, followed by Help! and Revolver.

[Woodstock]

Yep, it's a great song.

[Walrus Gumboot]

Paul's best bass line is probably Rain, and I also love the slides on Dear Prudance.

I love rain, I just heard it for the first time last month. Its the first whole bass line (besides bluegrass, heh) that I figured out on my own, last Thursday. I was so proud of myself I can't even say. Maybe I should tab it :ponders:

[Seafroggys]

Rain is easily the most underrated Beatle song....its not on any of the original albums (it was the B-side to Paperback Writer) and since it didn't hit #1, its rarer and thus not a lot of people would get a chance to hear it (its on Past Masters). I was lucky to hear it early in my Beatles career, and I absolutly love it.

[Walrus Gumboot]

Its like a forgoten gem in the attic of Beatles songs, another great aong on the old "Hey Jude" album that never got brought to attention. It sounds like it was snipped off of Revolver

[Walrus Gumboot]

Where is everyone?

Any news on that tour?

[Seafroggys]

It seems like we're the regular posters in this thread. Shame.

Does anyone else have the Complete Scores? I bought it like five years ago, such a great book. Perfect for any cover band!

[clown_phobia]

I think the record label screwed themselved up by not putting a lot of the beatles' singles on albums.
These days you can't get the original singles (or at least it's hard to) so many people won't hear/buy those songs.
They may have sold well orignally, but they don't anymore.

[Walrus Gumboot]

I am seriously considering buying the complete scores, I could use the trombone music if any :D

Its kind of nice sometimes when there are singles that didn't quite make it on CD. Its such a nice surprise to find them

[TerryThorne]

Part two of she came in through the bathroom window has some great basslineage!

[Woodstock]

Who here thinks Helter Skelter is a great song. Now one of my favorite Beatles songs.

[TerryThorne]

I love it. Pretty intense, probably my favorite song on the second white album disc.

[Woodstock]

I think Yer Blues rivals it.

[pigonthewing82]

Who here thinks Helter Skelter is a great song. Now one of my favorite Beatles songs.

Thats probally my favorite Beatles song right now (it changes every now and then). Its just so creative.

[TerryThorne]

I think Yer Blues rivals it.


It sure does, and Sexy Sadie is pretty good too. However, I don't listen to that disc as much as the first one

[pigonthewing82]

The more I think about it, the more I think that the White Album is probally the best rock album of all time. Hardly any band escapes its influences. And.....well its just amazing.

[Seafroggys]

Sexy Sadie is such a good song. The outtro is a great piece of music.

Btw, the Complete Scores won't have trombone music. It will give you the music in the original instruments of the song, which you could rearrange as trombone music if you wish.

[PinkFreud]

If we're talking about addictive basslines, the one in Lady Madonna is absolutely great as well...it complements the keyboard part to absolute perfection. I'd say that's probably one of their most "fun" songs to listen to normally.

his bass in i want you (she's so heavy) is awesome. solid and then he busts out the fills. crazy. rain/ taxman (pretty much the same) are good too.

[Woodstock]

Sexy Sadie is great. Ah, all the songs on the White album are great.

[pigonthewing82]

Sexy Sadie is great. Ah, all the songs on the White album are great.

Yea I find more often then not my favorite Beatles song (whitch changes day to day) comes from the white album, well or a single from the white album (Revolution, the fast one)

[DeusExMachina]

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted in so long. I was away on a trip. It was most excellent.

Anyways, The White Album. Not a huge fan of it. It's good, but I'd say Rubber Soul, Sgt. Peppers, Revolver, Abbey Road, and MMT are all superior.

Yea somtimes I get to thinking Abbey Road or MMT are better, but then I listen to Helter Skelter(sp?) or Revolution and that it becomes my favorite again. :thumb:

[xxxRoCkJuNkiExxx]

I've been gone for a while, but I'm back!

Anyways, I love the White Album, but I like Rubber Soul, Abbey Road, and MMT a little more. I had a fellow guitarist over on the weekend and I made him listen to Helter Skelter for the first time. I think he liked it, but he didn't really react how I did when I first heard it.:( Favorite songs from White Album: Revolution 1(fast and slow), Helter Skelter, Rocky Raccoon, Don't Pass Me By, Happiness Is A Warm Gun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and Yer Blues (not in that order).:)

[Seafroggys]

Favorite White Album Songs (favorite changes day to day):

Dear Prudance, Continuing Story of BUngalow Bill, Happiness is a Warm Gun, I'm so Tired, Birthday, Yer Blues, Everybody's Got Something to Hide Cept for me and My Monkey, Sexy Sadie, Helter Skelter, Savoy Truffle

[DeusExMachina]

Favorite songs off the White Album:

Dear Prudence, Julia, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Blackbird, While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

There are probably more, but those are the ones that come to mind immediately.

[pigonthewing82]

My favorite songs off the white album are........the white album

[DeusExMachina]

How delightfully vague.

[pigonthewing82]

I try :thumb:

[DeusExMachina]

Excellent. So, this Beatallica thing, I've heard of them, never heard their stuff. They worth checking out?

[Woodstock]

Most likely not. Some music is just not supposed to be mixed.

[guitrguy]

Beatallica is really cool.

[DeusExMachina]

Hmm... I may have to check them out then.

[Walrus Gumboot]

Do you guys have any Beatle... junk? T-shirts, patches, stickers, etc.?

I went to London once and they had a Magical Mystery Tour Bus cookie jar.

Personally I am in posession of a little yellow submarine pach and a revolver T-shirt,
y tu?

I don't have any but you know what would be awsome, a yellow submarine that when you put backing soda in it it works, like in ceral boxes. That would just be awsome.

[Walrus Gumboot]

I don't have any but you know what would be awsome, a yellow submarine that when you put backing soda in it it works, like in ceral boxes. That would just be awsome.

Ah, you must not be in America. We get bupkis in out cereal boxes. That would be pretty darned nifty from the sound of it

I am a huge beatles fan, and i dont like a heap of metal, but Beatallica are very, very good and very funny, as long as you can see the funny side to it.

[Woodstock]

I have two posters and two t-shirts.

[Walrus Gumboot]

Happy Harrison's Birthday!

[DeusExMachina]

I have an Abbey Road t-shirt.

[Sgt._Joker]

Has anyone seen The Roof Top Concert?

I'm trying to find a place where i can buy it.

Do you guys have any Beatles memorabiliar?
if you do what do u have?

Personally i have 1 Beatles poster (B/W)

I have in my possession the "Butcher " album.
Peace on Harrison`s B`day. :smoke:

[pinkfloyd1432002]

Thx for starting a Beatles thread man i needed a place to relax.
At least a few people rember the beatles as the creators of classic rock that they were. From Mcartney and Lennon's lyrics and orchestral music to ringos simple drum beats and finally ending up with Harrison's guitar.
Harrison was one of the greatest guitarist, look at his work from Norweigen Wood, Blackbird, and She Came in Through the Bathroom Window.
Greatest Beatles
A Day in the Life
Norweigen Wood
Blackbird
Tax Man
Maxwell's Silver Hammer.
Also i found a copy of Hendrix performing Day Tripper with the beatles and it's hilarious man, remind me to post it up later along with the hendrix cover of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band

[clown_phobia]

I've just watched the Beatles 1st ed sullivan show performance!

Wow, it's brilliant :thumb:

[rippa32]

This might sound stupid to you big fans, but I was listening to the Beatles once and was wandering who was the Lead Guitarist? John or George?

[Walrus Gumboot]

George-Lead Guitar
John-Rythym Guitar
Paul- Bass
Ringo- Drooms

:)

[pigonthewing82]

You know somthing I should know but don't is did John switch to lead after he left?

[Woodstock]

Blackbird was a McCartney song. He wrote the guitar work.

[clown_phobia]

I don't think so. George Harrison played lead on his Imagine album.

[Sgt._Joker]

You know somthing I should know but don't is did John switch to lead after he left?
Depends on the song, George did Lead for the Albumn Imagine.
and also John played a hell of alot of piano after the beatles

[drumbumman]

i goit the doble disc white album for x-mas and i love it

[rippa32]

George-Lead Guitar
John-Rythym Guitar
Paul- Bass
Ringo- Drooms

:)

I thought John was rythym cause he sings more than George and not many lead guitarists sing. Well thanks anyway.

[pigonthewing82]

George-Lead Guitar
John-Rythym Guitar
Paul- Bass
Ringo- Drooms

:)

Does anybody know who played piano?

[clown_phobia]

It's different on different songs, I think.

Paul played piano on Hey Jude and Let it Be.

[clown_phobia]

i goit the doble disc white album for x-mas and i love it

fantastic :thumb:

[Walrus Gumboot]

Does anybody know who played piano?


I think both John and Paul did, I know I read Paul learned how to play the piano young, and John had Imagine so...

[pigonthewing82]

I was listening to Helter Skelter around one of my friends and they said the begining sounded like a Ramones song. I've never heard a Ramones song, but if thats true I might start.

[GeorgeHarrison]

its considered the first metal song

[whatduffhuck7]

i like helter skelter on there anthology cd, its acoustic but still good.

[pigonthewing82]

What about comparing them to the Ramones? Are they really like Helter Skelter? Sorry I usually wouldn't push for the answear like this, but I'm going to the cd store tomorrow and if they sound like Helter Skelter I'll pick somthing by them up (and that acoustic version of it sounded cool too I'll look for it :thumb: )

[RNR]

I ran into someone who thought that Helter Skelter and various other harder Beatles songs were rip offs of The Ramones. That's stupid though since The beatles were way before The Ramones.

Does anyone have a preference between the original sgt. pepper's or the reprise?

[pigonthewing82]

All together I like the first one the best, but I like the guitar on the reprise better.

[clown_phobia]

That's a brilliant album, isn't it :)

[pigonthewing82]

I remember that I had this shocked look on my face after the first three guitar notes of Sgt Peppers Lonly Hearts Club Band and it stayed that way until long after A Day in the Life was over.

[clown_phobia]

I was wondering who plays the brass instruments on Sgt. Peppers?

[PinkFreud]

most definitely not. the ramones are all about simple, catchy power chords. un beatle-like.

[clown_phobia]

Did you know that at one point in Russia there was a double album you could buy, that was a combination of Sgt. Pepper's and Revolver?

The track lists were exactly the same. The front cover was sgt. pepper's, the back cover was the front cover of Revolver and the inside was like Sgt. Pepper's.

All the writing was in russian though.

[Sgt._Joker]

Does anybody know who played piano?

John played piano on "Hey Bulldog" and also on "I am the Walrus" and Paul played it aswell.

they both played it.

fun fact!: :p

in the lyrics of Hey Bulldog, John is actually singing Hey Bull Frog, but because paul started barking at the end they named it Hey Bulldog.

[cbiggz5]

john also came up with that piano part on ob-la-di ob-la-da and he came up with the song because after hearing yoko ono play a classical song backwards. Paul was by far the best piano player in the group, he taught himself to play at an early age.

most definitely not. the ramones are all about simple, catchy power chords. un beatle-like.

Oh man I wish I read that before I went to the store. But I got the Ramones cd and, its not bad. I can hear where the Beatles may have influenced them, whitch is cool because I never really thought of the Beatles influenceing punk before.

[coolidgeALL]

I like the first one better, I have all there albums (vinyl)

[EightMilesHigh]

Probably my favorite Beatles song ever.

[pigonthewing82]

One of my friends has the mother of all Beatles songs. Its them playing Day Tripper with Hendrix. Its really him to. Its awsome.

[JamesPatrickPageZoSo]

ive got that one too. its definately hendrix singing w/ someone, but i never thought it was really the beatles. i mean, there is no part in it where you can really tell its lennons voice w/ jimi. also, idk of anytime when lennon would have joined hendrix onstage. the beatles stopped touring in august of 66 and hendrix wasnt playin at any of there shows. i wonder who is singing w/ hendrix on this version. anybody have any info?

[pigonthewing82]

Well it was in studio and I'm pretty sure its the Beatles singing. Hendrix did a lot of in studio jams with people. I know I have one with Hendrix and the Beatles playing Yesterday because John talks and so does Jimi, they are actually telling him how to play it so they can jam :)

[DeusExMachina]

Does anybody know who played piano?

They both knew how to play, and both played in their solo careers. However, for the Beatles work, it was mostly Paul.

[whatduffhuck7]

Does anybody know who played piano?
didnt you see paul play at the superbowl, it was great. hey jude was awesome, i hope the terrorist saw that to show how much of a better country we have and they should stop doing the suicide bombs, only america could have a show that great during such a great event.

[ImTheFloor]

I love Abbey Road and Yellow Submarine best, just taught myself how to play "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds". I like all of the Beatles stuff, but I think the later stuff is much better. I also studied John Lennon in music class in 5th grade which turned me on to them.

[Walrus Gumboot]

I love Abbey Road and Yellow Submarine best, just taught myself how to play "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds".

On what instrument?

[ImTheFloor]

Guitar

[Walrus Gumboot]

Ahh, nice. I think the first thing I tired to learn on bass was Michelle, I got the intro (first 6 notes) then moved on to "Dazed and Confuzed"

[DeusExMachina]

First song I ever learned to play on guitar was Blackbird. (I think I've said that like, 20 times. What a crappy filler post...)

[pigonthewing82]

I learned Day Tripper today. For some reason I don't have the cd that its on, so I liked the song so I just learned it.

[Walrus Gumboot]

Holy crap, Deus, without playing any other string instrument before? How long did it take?

[Idyll]

Blackbird is such a pretty song but its a bugger to sing at the same time!

Random fact for ya
Paul became a better pianist than the others because whilst in Hamburg he was forced to play piano instead of guitar for ages because he broke his guitar and couldnt afford another one. I love the stories of the beatles in Hamburg, it all sounds really crazy and dirty, very unlike the clean cut Beatles that Epstein made them.

[DeusExMachina]

Well, guitar is my second instrument. After piano. It took about 2 weeks to learn it, but I'd been tinkering around on the guitar for a little while, like a month or so, just hadn't gotten around to learning anything. I take my instruments very seriously, so I practice a lot. Which reminds me, I need to go practice cello now...

[ilikesatriani]

Great guitar song^^ (simple, but great)

Edit: thats to blackbird

[Walrus Gumboot]

I gave up when the time signature changed, so I think I got at least one measure down


Edit: someone said I sound like the female equivalent of John Lennon. :happy:
