[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!

[QUOTE=MalcolmYoungRock]Was it Let It Be or Let It Be...naked?[/QUOTE]
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.

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.

Very informing. Good post :thumb:

My thoughts exactly when I heard about the vulture thing.

I think it might be on MX under "George Harrison"

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]I think it might be on MX under "George Harrison"[/QUOTE]

Actually there's a really good version on MX under Beatles, look under "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and then click the one on the top.

Upside: Good version with all solos and such

Downside: is 66 pages long, but that's because he copied and pasted the tab 3 times on accident.

Second downside: Just one tab is 22 pages long.

I found out the other day that Clapton plays lead guitar on "While my guitar gently weeps"..lol just when i thought Harrisson was among the greats of guitarists, i hear that. He's still pretty good though.

You didn't know that already? ..And yeah George Harrison is a good guitarist

[QUOTE=blue3]You didn't know that already? ..And yeah George Harrison is a good guitarist[/QUOTE]


I really love the slidey stuff he did in his early solo career and John Lennon's Imagine album

Whats that... pedal steel guitar? Dobro? Something like that

I thought I heard that Harrison wrote it, but he called Clapton in to play it on the album just for the hell of it.

Harrison didn't think he could do the song justice (if I remember correctly) so he asked Clapton to play on it.

well really, who would you sooner call for a spectacular lead guitar part than Clapton? Probably no one.

[QUOTE=pigonthewing82]I thought I heard that Harrison wrote it, but he called Clapton in to play it on the album just for the hell of it.[/QUOTE]

Ya Harrisson definitely wrote it, and because of this many people think that the song isn't by the beatles.

You'd be surprised at how many out there think the Beatles wrote Matchbox, Roll Over Beethoven, or Dizzy Miss Lizzy. But then again, the same people think Van Halen wrote 'Pretty Woman.' :D
