Most likely.

[QUOTE=Sgt._Joker]the phrase "I'd love to turn you on" is a sexual innuendo and i think A day in the Life was one of the first songs to have "rude" phrases/words.....

(see beatles anthology.)[/QUOTE]

might be wrong, but i thought it was said in the anthology dvd that that was a drug referrence. its tough to believe how uptight people used to be, ****.
...also, isnt it weird how two of the same word (that that) can be placed next to eachother in a sentence and still work. i'm gonna go eat some mushrooms

[QUOTE=JamesPatrickPageZoSo]cant get any beatles/lennon/wings/mccartney songs on itunes[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that's why I have the entire Beatles discography on my iTunes :rolleyes:

And I put Back in the US on there too.

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]No tracks as in only one track. None of the different sections listed in the let it be naked book have different tracks assigned to them, its just one track.

But its pretty cool, hearing a fragment of imagine being played.[/QUOTE]

Oh okay...how long is it?

Every album? Including bootlegs?

As far as the references in 'A Day in the Life', Turn you on was a drug reference. In the mid sixties the phrase was; 'Tune in, Turn on, and Drop out.' Dr. Timothy Leary was making headlines with the new wonder drug, LSD at that time. The counter culture, or 'hippies' as they were known in the vernacular, recommended Tune in -- get involved with changing social morals, Turn on -- expand your mind (drugs) and Drop out -- leave the older generation's establishment.

Ed Sullivan, during the sixties, was the original 'power broker' of the entertainment business then. One appearance on his show was enough to guarantee a new act a successful career in show business then. The Beatles manager Brian Epstien was wise to coach the boys to do what ever the Sullivan people wanted. It led to repeat tv appearances that brought them into more and more homes through out the nation. The Stones too, played ball. Look at them today. The Doors, as much as I love their music, made the wrong choice. Morrison always took himself a little too seriously and though the band down spiraled due mainly to Morrison's alcoholism and drug dependancy, a lot of doors closed (no pun intended) in the mainstream after the run-in with Sullivan.

Back then Sullivan was the 'establishment' the bands eluded to in protest songs. Ironically, unless you played ball, your message was rarely heard. Things did loosen up by the late sixties.

One of the greatest hidden drug references ever performed was in the chorus as 'I Am the Walrus' is winding down. The chant, although really was something like 'Oom-pah,' sounded suspiciously like 'Smoke pot, smoke pot, everybody smokes pot' during the finale of all the sped up and slowed down overdub effects going on in the song. Made top-ten 40 on all the radio stations too. Right smack dab in the heart of the heartland of America ( the mid-west), to boot. Whoo-hooo. ;)

... If you really let your imagination go... you can hear it change to 'f--ed up, f---ed up, everybody's f---ed up.'

... but that's a judgement call....;) ;) :D

Gasp! A quadruple post!

I never thought it could happen.

At least it's not LOL LOL LOL over and over.

Ringo Star is my idol! he's pretty much my #1 with Neil Pert at #2, but still the beatles were the leaders of the music revolution into rock. It would be some sweet to do what they did.

A lot of Ringo's beats were just simple 4/4 beats.

But the genius thing about it is, it works.

I got listening to letit be the other day and in the version I had I noticed a short kind of whispering noise after "For though they may be parted..." Does anyone no what this says, if it says anything at all? Or has anyone else heard it?Or will i be comitted next week?
:confused: :(

Was it Let It Be or Let It Be...naked?

We love you Beatles
Oh yes we do
We love you Beatles
An we'll be true
Whe you're not near us
We're blue
We love you Beatles
We love you

Oh..love those hippies.

My freinds call me hippie.

Ringo is great. My original drumming idol....his music is what I started on. Still one of my favs.

He fit the Beatles, there was a John Lennon quote posted about him that was funny.

[QUOTE=MalcolmYoungRock]So, what's your favorite Beatles album and era?

Mine'll have to be a toss up between Let It Be, Abbey Road, and Sgt. Peppers.

The Let It Be era of the Beatles was my favorite, even though they were on the verge of breaking up.[/QUOTE]

My favorite album is Revolver (the greatest album ever) and my favorite era is Revolver-Magical Mystery tour. I also really like the four new songs that were on Yellow Submarine, I wish they had made a full album.

[QUOTE=magicbus]Did you guys read about (in the CD manual) how after the final chord on A Day In The Life, John wanted some high pitched noise in there? If you did, can you explain why?[/QUOTE]

On A Day In The Life they put in a high pitched whistle that only dog's could hear. Why they did this, I don't know but it was taken off in later pressings of the album as well as Sgt. Pepper's Inner Groove because supposedly said a very bad message if played backwards. Which means my dad's album doesn't have it which really stinks. :(

^^^This has been discussed before.

It was on the British records. The high pitched squeel and that inner groove diddle was taken off the American records. When they reissused all the albums on CD, they used the British versions, thus if you have it on CD, there it is!

Just Let it Be

I have it on cd. I'll have to listen for it next time I listen.

[QUOTE=magicbus]I have it on cd. I'll have to listen for it next time I listen.[/QUOTE]

Ya i'll have to listen for it too. That part after the song ends is weird too..it sounds like John saying "I couldn't have it any other way" or something like that, and then just repeated over and over again.

page 3??? this is atrocious people!!

Have you guys ever seen the "Jungle Book"?
If you havnt you should its a walt disney classic,

But in the Jungle Book, the four vultures are a tribute to the beatles.

i think i recall the vultures as having accents and what not.

Funny haircuts like the old Beatles too.

Does anybody have a tab for the lead guitar in While My Guitar Gently Weeps? I want to play it for the talent show, but I'll need to learn it first.

I'm sure there's something good on Powertab. Or you could be awesome and learn the basic structure of it by ear, and improvise around that.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]I'm sure there's something good on Powertab. Or you could be awesome and learn the basic structure of it by ear, and improvise around that.[/QUOTE]

I think I could do that, but I don't have it on a cd. :-/ So I can't listen to it in my room where I have my guitar.

I already know it's in A minor, so I just need to listen to it and figure it out.

EDIT: Thanks ;)

The track, cut into the 'inner groove' at the end of Sgt Peppers had no title and really wasn't a song per say. Most turntables then didn't have the mechanism that would lift the arm and return it to it's cradle at the end of the record. The needle would just continue in that last groove over and over until you physically got up and lifted it yourself.

John and his sense of humor thought it would be wild to have sound in that groove -- a never-ending loop. The result was a snippet of them fooling around. If you have ever heard the Christmas messages you'll recognize the nonsensical mutterings, British old fogey grunts and maniacal laughter as their trademark brand of humor. They were big fans and later became involved with Monty Python's Flying Circus -- especially Harrison. (The Pepper title itself was a bit of a tribute to the Pythons) The resulting loop of the sing-songy 'never have it any other way' with laughter going on for infinity was real mind-blower back then. It was left off the American LPs as on a technical level it was a pain to put in correctly and Capitol thought it un-nessecary. Some say played backwards it says 'We'll f--- you like supermen,' but I place no credibility in that.
