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

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

Stu was John's best friend, after all

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

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

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

[QUOTE=robo2448]Anyone else agree that Watching The Wheels is just about the greatest song ever?[/QUOTE]
Word. That song is incredible.

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

[QUOTE=Magical_Mystery_Tour]Oh, ok. :upset:

/goes and cries in teh corner.[/QUOTE]Haha. I think it's a good song though :)

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

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

I don't think I've ever heard it...:-/

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]I don't think I've ever heard it...:-/[/QUOTE]

It was off [I]Plastic Ono Band [/I]and is an amzing song. Bit different from the rest of the album too...

Hey guys wassup?
Listening to Twist and shout - John's vocals are crazy on this one!!!!

[QUOTE]It was off Plastic Ono Band and is an amzing song. Bit different from the rest of the album too...[/QUOTE]

Thanks, I'll be sure to check it out.

[QUOTE]Hey guys wassup?

John actually blew out his vocal chords recording that song:eek:

Well they'd been recording all day, and they knew they wouldnt have another chance. John's vocals chords were shredded, so they knew they only had one take, and they nailed it.

His vocals are quite a nice effect and it has made their version unique and memorable.

Twist and Shout is probably my favorite pre-Help! Beatles song. Love Lennon's vocals, a performance that very few rock songs have matched.

I'll have to go with "We can work it out!" I looove that song.

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]I'll have to go with "We can work it out!" I looove that song.[/QUOTE]

Great song. It seems like we get into these pre-Help Beatles discussions as though the good songs are few and far between...it's understandable though. Not saying I don't like the songs, as there are very few I don't like, but they're so different that I can see why we talk about them like this.

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]I'll have to go with "We can work it out!" I looove that song.[/QUOTE]

We can work it out is Post-help, it was released with day tripper simultaneaously (sp?) with Rubber Soul.

[QUOTE=HighVoltageRockNRoll]Yes Watching The Wheels is definetley better than #9 Dream!

Well Well WEll is great, but I like I Found Out more (and I find they're both similar)

and yeah how many times have we talked about Twist and Shout in this thread ;)

That's true, good call CP. I always just assumed it was a pre-help song.

I originally heard songs like 'Across The Universe' and 'The Long And Winding Road' with all the snazzy production work and I grew to love them so I don't really enjoy the versions off Naked

Well I'll be d[SIZE="2"]a[/SIZE]mned, I just always figured it was Pre-Rubber Soul.

[QUOTE=heinrichkuhn]I originally heard songs like 'Across The Universe' and 'The Long And Winding Road' with all the snazzy production work and I grew to love them so I don't really enjoy the versions off Naked[/QUOTE]
I grew up with the original versions as well, but I was never a huge fan of the [I]Let it Be[/I] tracks until Naked came out.

I always liked Can't buy me Love as my fav pre-help Beatles song. But recently I have discovered a couple tunes of Beatles for Sale. No Reply is a great John song and I'll Follow the Sun is a beautiful Paul song.

I'll Follow the Sun is amazing.

eh I've never really liked Can't Buy Me Love that much, one of the more annoying Beatles tracks.....

Now another Hard Day's Night song worth swooning over? I should have known better. In fact my alternative band is covering that :D

It Won't Be Long is an amazing song. Holy crap.

Yeah, it's a good song. A lot of their songs are..

[QUOTE=blue3]Yeah, it's a good song. A lot of their songs are..[/QUOTE]
:eek: That was a profound statement.:p

[QUOTE=blue3]Yeah, it's a good song. [B]All [/B]of their songs are..[/QUOTE]

There you go! I seriously can't think of an actual song (with exlcudes wild honey pie) that I don't enjoy listening to. I even like listening to Revolution Number 9. The only songs that I have any dis-like for are Paperback Writer and there cover of the song Three Cool Cats of their anthology.....I hate that song lol...and Paperback Writer when I first heard it, I didn't like it at all, but now i've grown to enjoy it, but it still will never make a top 50 list!

And too the previous posts...I Should Have Known Better is a freaking awesome song, when I watched A Hard Days Night on Much Music as soon as I heard that song I was freaking out lol I was like wow that's insanely catchy!

And also It Wont Be Long is also really awesome, I love the chorus with the back and forth between John and Paul.

and there's you can't do that
great guitar opening

There are only a few Beatles songs I don't like (Paperback Writer, Lady Madonna, like two off White Album disc 2, and a few off Let It Be). They definently knew what they were doing.

[QUOTE=magicpoon]Lady Madonna[/QUOTE]

wtf, good song!

Seriously, when Paul played it for the sound check at his concert, although it was a sound check, it was friggen' amazing.

I am the Walrus , Ob-la di Ob la Da , and the Ballad of John And Yoko are my favorite beatles songs , although i like almost all of their songs.

I've already listened to Revolver and 1962-1966. Eight Days A Week is amazing. Aswell as the solo in In My Life.

I also got a cool Revolver shirt yesterday.

I am the walrus is a great song.

You still want to do something for the cover contest?

I just bought the Concert for Bangladesh DVD for my dad for Christmas, I can't wait until I can watch it with him.

I just gave Abby Road my personally long-awaited first listen in about ten years. Great music. The highlights definitely were Come Together, Octopus's Garden, I Want You, Here Comes The Sun, Because, and Sun King.

Next up is Sgt. Pepper's..., followed by the 1 compilation.

What's with the hate for Paperback Writer. That's an awesome song.

I don't think there are any Beatles songs that I dislike. There may be a few that I don't really care for but they are all fun to listen to. I used to hate Wild Honey Pie but even that has grown on me. Actually I'm not a big fan of regular Honey Pie, that might be one of my least favorite songs.

Edit- Cocert for Bangladesh DVD owns. Good choice.
