I wish I could see Paul McCartney live. I doubt he will ever come up to Canada.

The closest I've got, is seeing the Beatles tribute band 'Rain'.

:/

George Harrison died about 3 days after my 15th b-day. I cried a lot, it was really painful for me, seeing as how for over two years I was completly in love with them.

:/[/QUOTE]Yeah I'm seeing Rain in a few months. I also saw this other tribute band called 'Rubber Soul'. They were pretty good.

Paul McCartney is going to Canada, to Toronto, I think.

I don't remember how old I was when 1 came out, but I'm a senior now. Meh.

Harrison is amazing. I love that guy. It's a real shame that he passed away.

The Johnny Cash cover of In My Life. Totally amazing.

In My Life is one of their best.....easily the best on Rubber Soul, and IMO the best pre MMT song.

Yeah, In My Life is a great song. I haven't heard Johnny Cash's cover..

As a matter of fact In My Life just so happens to be my favourite Beatles song. Has been since I was very young too.

[QUOTE=HighVoltageRockNRoll]One also got me into The Beatles...I dont know why i bought it, but I was christmas shopping and there was a deal. And I bought it...I dont know what made me buy it though. But I loved it :)[/QUOTE]

Same here man. My dad let me borrow it about 2 years ago and I didn't listen to anything else for quite a while.

[QUOTE=blue3]Yeah, In My Life is a great song. I haven't heard Johnny Cash's cover..[/QUOTE]

I generally don't like most cover songs, but this one is great. You need to check it out.

I heard about 30 seconds clip of it. It was okay.. Maybe I need to listen to the whole thing.

I don't know, some people may not like it. But I think it's amazing.

Funny story about "Yellow Submarine"

When I was in sixth grade, I got in trouble for something so I had to wash a bunch of muddy gym equipment. So I was in this janitor's closet thing hosing down all the equipment, and I started singing "Yellow Sumbarine" and 3 teachers came out and told me to stop because I was disturbing their class.

Well it's funny to me, anyway...

Man, thats my avatar!!!

Eleanor Rigby is so awesome.

I love Eleanor Rigby.

/brings back memories of Revolver.

[QUOTE=robo2448]1 got me into the Beatles. So it has special significance for me. My parents had it, I liked it a lot and got Rubber Soul and then I really started getting into the Beatles.[/QUOTE]

Same here man, My mom let me borrow it and i havent given it back to her for a year. Now i listen to the beatles so much shes starting to not like them because all i do is listen to The Beatles!!!!!!!!!!!

Classic case of identity theft

I'd die laughing if some n00b got my fish eye avatar

I also wish I fully appriciated who Harrison was before he died.

I also wish I haddn't found out about Rosa Parks's death two days after. I really need to watch more news

One was my first Beatles album as well. It's Destiny. And the immaturaty of thinking that buying compilations is your best bet. One is a top quality Album, though.

My mom just brought home some old vinyls form my grandparent's house. Among them were two albums recorded before Ringo, with Pete Best. One is a live show from Hammburg, the other is a studio album (I think). I can't listen to them, cause my stupid needle is broken, but it's still really cool.

Those might be worth something

I got some Beatles on vinyls, not singles though..

Is the studio album called The Beatles W/ Tony Sheridan? They mention that in the Anthology book. Apparently on the first copies they spelled The Beatles wrong or changed the name or something.

Has anyone heard the soundtrack to [b]I Am Sam[/b]? It's all Beatles covers.

[QUOTE=clown_phobia]Has anyone heard the soundtrack to [b]I Am Sam[/b]? It's all Beatles covers.[/QUOTE]
I have and I thought every cover but one (Can't remember which one) was horrible.

I have not heard the I Am Sam soundtrack. What is it? A movie?

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]I have not heard the I Am Sam soundtrack. What is it? A movie?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, it's a movie, Sean Penn was in it. The soundtrack, as has been said it's all Beatles covers, apparently cause they couldn't get the rights to use the originals.

The soundtrack is OK, but nothing great.

beatles best band of all time hands down

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]I also wish I fully appriciated who Harrison was before he died.[/QUOTE]

I'm glad I did, in fact, at that point in my life THe BEatles were all I listened to, and I had started listening to Metallica and a couple of other classic rock bands (but nothing indepth).

Very few people can get the rights to Beatles songs, if anyone's ever noticed. Hardly anybody can use their songs, probably due to the licensing MIchael Jackson has on them. I was surprised to hear Happiness is a Warm Gun on Bowling for COlumbine.

I only starting getting into The Beatles a few months ago.

Yea, that's the title. I think alot of the material on the album are covers.I recognize some of the songs as thirties and fourties songs. I think the Hammburg concert is all covers as well.

I've never heard of that one... tear.
