[QUOTE=leppermessiah]no need to apologize, i was just happy to actually be there. :p I'm pretty sure John plays keyboards and piano, Paul might've on some tracks. Don't know who plays harmonica on songs like "love me do"..my guess would be Paul.[/QUOTE]

Ringo plays harmonica on Love Me Do. He had just joined the band about two weeks before the single's release.

wicked_child 05-03-2005 05:24 PM

really? didn't know that. how about in sgt. pepper? who played those instruments?

Woodstock 05-03-2005 05:36 PM

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]George Martin played that funny keyboard solo on In My Life, if I'm not mistaken.[/QUOTE]
Haha, it's hard for me to picture that.

Then why does John play it during live performances?

Seafroggys 05-03-2005 05:47 PM

Ringo never played harmonica. John did, but he was later embarresed by it.

Yes, Mr. Martin did do the organ thingie in In My Life at halfspeed.

Walrus Gumboot 05-03-2005 07:06 PM

If you read John's first few pages in the anthology it talks about him playing harmonica

I know for fact that it was john cause john was originally supposed to sing the lead part for love me do but couldnt cause he had to play the mouth harp.

Leper 05-03-2005 08:57 PM

sounds like quite the debate. I have no clue who played the harmonica so i'll just keep watching lol.

clown_phobia 05-04-2005 01:37 AM

John also played the harmonica on "Oh Yoko!" off his solo album Imagine.

Earlier in this thread people were saying that Paul invented his own unique scream but I think his sounds a lot like Little Richard's on songs such as Tutti-Frutti and Good Golly miss Molly.

Sgt._Joker 05-04-2005 03:19 AM

Paul played drums for a short period while Ringo was off having a break from the band when he felt out of it.

It's hard to go against an anthology. I'm gonna have to go with John on this one.

That solo in Oh Yoko! Is one of my favorites (I say that about most harmonica solos)
AND John played it in a Hard Day's Night he played it in " I Should Have Known Better"

Once upon a timeI saw some parody of Little Richard where he was like "I taught Paul McCartney how to scream!"

It just has that effect

Somehow with that avatar, it seems as if you actually are Bob Dylan, it's strange...

I just found myself humming that song, but it was before I entered this thread! :eek:

GeorgeHarrison 05-05-2005 05:30 PM

Sgt_Pepper 05-05-2005 06:41 PM

Proof that John plays harmonica.

[QUOTE=Sgt_Pepper]I heard Paul played guitar on some songs..which were they?[/QUOTE]

I think played lead on Taxman and She came in through the bathroom window.

On the "Back in the Us" DvD he plays guitar on a bunch of songs. The best by far is when he plays "Sgt. Peppers Lonely hearts club band (Reprise)" and "The End" It really shows how he still knows how to rock. If you have the money, and youre a McCartney fan, i STRONGLY suggest you pick up this DvD. Its my favorite DvD in my extensive collection Ive watched at least over 100 times now.

/Hardcore McCartney fan.

Paul and john when they were young, took a bus over 50 miles across town to meet a kid that knew the B7 chord. (or Bm i cant remember)

Paul and John met george on a bus, and once they heard him play, they put him in the band.

Before Ringo was in the beatles he played in a band called "Rorrey and the Hurricains"

I read alot of books about the beatles in junior high.

Captain Planet 05-06-2005 12:35 PM

Has anyone seen the ticket prices for Paul Mccartney's US tour? They're ridiculously overpriced in my opinion.

freakmeeko 05-06-2005 12:47 PM

I know. I'm still going. :D

I thought John saw Paul play with his band and he invited him to join the band, and then Paul introduced John to George. They didnt both meet him at the same time...in the Imagine documentary John says he picked paul as his partner not george, george came through paul.
