The guy down the hall gave me a Yellow Submarine poster because it kept falling down. So technically this doesn't break my promise of not "buying" anymore Beatles posters.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Yeah. That would be terrible. I also feel bad for Sutcliffe, on account of the whole dying thing.[/QUOT

Am I wrong or did Stu die of a brain hemmorage?

No your right. It was at an airport me thinks. But I dunno, the guy sucked at bass any way.

he was a good artist though....

I saw his artwork at the hall of fame back in '01

It's really hard to pick out individual songs, but I will reccomend the albums Rubber Soul and Abbey Road. You could always just go buy [I]1[/I], that's what first got me into The Beatles.

wtf are Stones songs doing in there?

thanks

The Beatles are the really the best group in the world. Paperback Writer and Lady Madonna are my favorite songs.

Jacandra I do not get you.

[QUOTE=Jacaranda]

You didn't really think you'd get away with that did you? Still good songs though, and if you want to get into the [I]Stones[/I] I'd check those 3 out plus a lot more.

But for The Beatles, I'd just buy Rubber Soul. It got me into them.

Just listen to all of Revolver, and if you MUST single out some songs, try Taxman, Elenor Rigby, She Said She Said, Got To Get You Into My Life, and Tomorrow Never Knows.

Nice try Jacaranda. I would listen to those Stones songs just for the hell of it Laredo, really good stuff.

i have a new favourite band!
cheers guys

Yay for the Stones!
And if you by chance listened to any of those songs those are just the tip of the iceberg that are the Beatles. So many much amazing work, I'm not a big fan of pre-Rubber Soul so I didn't include any of that stuff, cause frankly I think its garbage for the most part.

... I'm sorry I couldn't resist guys... I just had to do that.

Didn't John only know like 3 chords when he first joined the beatles. Also some more random facts-

*Paul played drums on Back in the USSR
*Paul played guitar on Taxman
*PAUL IS DEAD ZOMGWTF
*Pauls real name is James Paul Mccartney

Thats odd. I can't think of any other facts. They're all about paul :P

i just found out i had rubber soul, sgt peppers and abbey road on my computer!! :O

but they were under my dads name so i never even looked there...

ohhh ive been missing out

yeah we all know all that, sorry, nothing new :P

but he also played drums on Dear Prudance, AND Ballad of John and Yoko....

Well There are so many Beatle songs to choose from that I don't even want to get started on a huge list. I'll just tell you the first song that brought me into the Beatle Nation: Strawberry Fields Forever. Possibly my fav Beatle song of all time. Good luck.

Broken needles have silenced so many records in the past 15 years or so....they should start mass producing them again.

John played bass on The Long and Winding Road...it sucked, so they took it out and put in an orchestra

All songs are great, the only one i don't like that much is Penny Lane( i don't know why), Misery and Chains. I always been listening the beatles since i was a kid but sadly never got into them until like 10 years later when the only cd i had in my car was "1". I like all Beatles albums including the pre Rubber Soul era(Cool songs to play on guitar and sing), i dont think at all that pre-Beatles era was even close to be trash.

I also could not imagine how Pete would had feel or still feels(He alive?) after seeing what the Beatles became. But he should had move on. Dave Mustaine after Metallica moved on and went well with Megadeth.

If they were to make a Bealtes bio-pic, who do you guys think would make good actors to play the parts? Personally, I can't actually think of anybody, but I figure this might make some good conversation.

I have no idea.. I can't think of anybody either.

It'd have to be a bunch of unknown look alike and sound alikes. Guess you've never seen Legend (?) the John Lennon story its really good actually. Sad too, at least when his mother dies.

No, I've never seen that...was it just a T.V. special, or would I be able to find it on DVD somewhere?

I found it on DVD, I'll go find the proper name though. It didn't go past like 65 though it was mostly how they started and stuff. Defently worth a watch, lots of info in it too.

I guess thats it but I thought it was different I've seen too many John Lennon movies to remember each :S

Wow that dude on the cover looks a lot like him. Is his acting any good?

Its good enough if I remember, I quiet liked the film. It stayed true to his life and they didn't true to make it more dramatic, I also learned some English when I watched it. I remember the exact scene when they are deciding what to call the band and John or Paul was like "how bout the Beetles, but spelt Beat because we play music", or what not. I always thought beatles was how you spelt beetles. Goes to show...

Yeah haha I've made that same mistake in the past too. Man I felt dumb. I think I was spelling Beetle for a Volkswagon Beetle and I spelt it Beatle, and my sister laughed at me. So I was like, what...isn't that how it's spelled? And she laughs and says no that's like the band...it's a play on words. I answered with a simple "oh," and may or may not have proceeded to hide in a corner.
