^theres too many, but my personal fav is 'here, there and everywhere'. beautiful

Woodstock 01-07-2005 07:20 PM

I dont know if In My Life would qualify?

ibanezsucks04 01-07-2005 08:20 PM

i dunno if its been brought up but there are 42 pages on this thread but any one believe paul is actually dead?

Walrus Gumboot 01-07-2005 08:45 PM

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]I saw somewhere that 83% of all Beatles songs are about love. I find that a little hard to believe, but definitely a lot of them are.[/QUOTE]

Magical Mystery Tour is almost love song free. Except fro the last one, but that isn't about a relationship, its about love itself, so its different than most love songs at least

Beatles poster story: my little sister burped and the "a hard day's night" poster on the wall gave her four different dissaproving/amused looks... it made me laugh

No.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]I dont know if In My Life would qualify?[/QUOTE]

Not sure. It talks about love, but its more like about life in general... I dunno. It's a great song, regardless.

Walrus Gumboot 01-07-2005 08:57 PM

In My Life seems like a great song but not their most memorable... and then the keyboard solo comes in, which had me entranced for weeks it seemed

Seafroggys 01-07-2005 09:18 PM

In my Life is one of their best songs period.....and undoubtly their best pre '66 stuff by far (Noweher Man comes close though).

Best Beatle love song? The End....just listen to the last line :cool:

DeusExMachina 01-07-2005 09:27 PM

The End is awesome. As for pre '66 stuff, In My Life is probably the best, but I love Yesterday. So much.

boss 01-07-2005 09:46 PM

and i love her is also a great love song

BludgeonySteve 01-07-2005 09:51 PM

Indeed. One of the best on Abbey Road.

STP 01-07-2005 11:20 PM

Hello thread, sorry for not reading the rules.
The best riff IMO was Hey Bulldog, even better than Day Tripper.
I got so many favs, that`s just the beginning.

Metafive 01-07-2005 11:34 PM

And I Love Her has got to be one of the best Beatles love songs, or Here There and Everywhere. By the way, I downloaded a slower version of She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, it's so much better it's amazing what a tempo change-up can do, just type in "she came in through the bathroom window (anthology)" and it should come up, it's a great one. also there's And Your Bird Can Sing anthology song where they're all stoned out of their minds laughing through a sad attempt of an overdub, which is always good for a laugh. but anyways there's lots of good anthology ones try to download some.

Metafive 01-07-2005 11:38 PM

also...blackbird anthology, byooooootiful

STP 01-07-2005 11:56 PM

Macca fan I see ;)
I saw him twice in concert in 2002. Flaming Pie was very good! driving rain had some great stuff too.
ie. Rince the rain drops :thumb:

wally5790 01-08-2005 09:18 AM

i bought "a hard day's night" on dvd last week, its a cool movie, have most of you guys seen it?

DeusExMachina 01-08-2005 10:57 AM

I saw all the Beatles movies when I was like... 8. So I don't remember them at all. As for the Anthologies, there are some real gems in those things.

6Stringer 01-08-2005 11:16 AM

My friend showed me the "Yellow Submarine" movie and that was just one really weird movie.

DeusExMachina 01-08-2005 11:36 AM

I haven't seen MMT, I should get that.

ibanezsucks04 01-08-2005 11:37 AM

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]No.[/QUOTE]
me neither some people do though

Seafroggys 01-08-2005 12:31 PM

I've seen all the Beatles movies.

I have Hard Day's Night and Yellow Submarine on DVD, Help and Yellow Submarine on video, and recorded copies of HDN, MMT, and Let it Be.

Yellow Submarine is my all-time favorite movie, and despite the....uh.....pointlessness of MMT, I love the music in that movie.

DeusExMachina 01-08-2005 12:46 PM

What exactly is the movie of MMT like? At first I thought it was going to be trippy, but I heard that it's just them in the tour bus or something?

eghed 01-08-2005 01:04 PM

All the beatles movies are great Help is my favorite it;s just so funny.
Does anybody know if Help is out on DVD yet?

eghed 01-08-2005 01:06 PM

As for loves songs they have a lot of greats i really like Here There and Everywhere.

DeusExMachina 01-08-2005 01:08 PM

I would imagine Help is on DVD, but it might not be. But I would think they'd want to get that on DVD, because it would sell like hotcakes.

Walrus Gumboot 01-08-2005 03:14 PM

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]What exactly is the movie of MMT like? At first I thought it was going to be trippy, but I heard that it's just them in the tour bus or something?[/QUOTE]

It is completely random. They get on a tour bus and stop at these random locations, which have no connections with each other, at which they did very random, occasionaly very trippy things, such as having a marathon and stopping to play I am the walrus in the middle of a feild/parking lot. There is a... (love?) affair between Ringo's aunt and a passenger (Mr. Bloodvessel, whom I believe was Paul's Grandfather in A Hard Day's Night) and At the end there is a poorly choreographed dance to "your Mother Should Know" (quite entertaining). The randomness of it all though, is what leads people to call it a masterpeice or a total piece of trash. I loved it.

Metafive 01-08-2005 04:21 PM

yes MMT was definately random, I wasn't really a fan of it, I didn't love it but I didn't hate it either, it's full of that kind of humour you might add in a school project science video with your friend that you make on your home video camera, but the dancing in the white suits to "Your Mother Should Know" was the best part of the whole movie, I downloaded it off the internet so you could try to get it there, whether it's worth it or not is your opinion.

w00t for the new avatar!!

Woodstock 01-08-2005 08:15 PM

I liked the choreography on Your Mother Should Know. Paul is the only one with a black rose on.

Walrus Gumboot 01-08-2005 08:41 PM

[QUOTE=Woodstock]I liked the choreography on Your Mother Should Know. Paul is the only one with a black rose on.[/QUOTE]

You're right, its not the choreography that was poor, it was how they were sometimes off or out of sync when they were dancing, but hey they're only human and I thought it was funny :)

Thankyou, Livewired, and a nice new avatar yourself :thumb:

DeusExMachina 01-08-2005 08:45 PM

I should rent or buy it. I intend to watch all the Beatles movies in the next some amount of time.

Seafroggys 01-09-2005 12:44 AM

Hard Day's Night, Help, and Magical Mystery Tour were all released on DVDs when they first came out in 1997 (I remember they were the first DVDs I ever saw, saw them at Costco in 5th grade, which was the 97-98 school year). Those issues have been out of print for years (pretty much because back then no one had DVD players).

Yellow Submarine was released on DVD in 1999, and I think its still in print. Hard Days' Night was re-released on DVD couple years ago, really nice package, pretty sure you can still get that. Let it Be is virtually impossible to get. I've only seen one real copy, and it was a video produced in 1981 that was in an independent movie rental place that had the biggest selection of movies I had ever seen. My uncle got a bootlegged copy, then downloaded the movie off the internet from a laser disc rip.

DeusExMachina 01-09-2005 12:45 AM

Snaps. You know your stuff. I'm going to steal a copy of Let it Be from someone.

Who would want Magical Mystery tour, it sucked, it was a poor rip off of Ken Kesey's LSD bus trip across America

DeusExMachina 01-09-2005 10:55 AM

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test! Man, Ken Kesey was a weird guy. So was Tom Wolfe. What did he call his group of friends again? The Merry Pranksters or something?

Woodstock 01-09-2005 11:15 AM

I'd love to have the full Rooftop Concert on movie. The Anthology DVD doesn't show enough.

deejuks2 01-09-2005 11:26 AM

wow i cant believe i havent posted here before. i love the beatles, as a mattar of fact i am listening to "within you, without you" as i type.

That would have been an amazing show to have been at.

Neoteric 01-09-2005 12:29 PM

Paul is a dead man, miss him, miss him!

AcDcIStheBEST 01-09-2005 02:04 PM
