I tried to get The Beatles anthology out of my library yesterday. They didn't have it:upset:

I think I'm just going to buy it.

There was a local band back in Seattle that did a live cover of Get Back. It was amazing. I'd say it was probably better than the recorded Beatles version.

Yeah Get Back has a great riff to it. It also leaves open a lot of room for improve, like most Beatles songs. That makes them really fun to play

Is that Ringo who sings lead vocals in "Octopus's Garden"?

Yes to the above.

Also, I agree, all of The Beatles' songs could probably be improved upon by covering. The sad thing is, they had the best vocals....so take their vocals and throw in your own instrumentation and you'd kick ***!

Imagine what you could do with Helter Skelter!

[QUOTE=bcf717]PS. Don't be scared of me age.... It ain't all that old when you think about it. I make my living as a newspaper photographer and comic book illustrator, which keeps me busy and young. I play a mean bass, can strum a nasty six-string and still have a bit of speed left behind a drum kit. I have two boys (one entering his teens) who are very much into music. I'm doing my best to pass what I know about guitar playing and music to them. Plus I'm learning a lot about the new bands from my oldest. Music is something that no-one can ever take away from you.

By the way, Styx, is making a come-back and releasing a new album of cover songs. They were a band from the seventies through eighties. They do a cover of 'I Am the Walrus.' I've heard it. ( Some radio buddies let me hear the advance disc) It's not bad. Check it out when it's released which should be any day now. :)[/QUOTE]
I heard that cover around 3 months ago, so its not that new, its a ok cover, but doesn't compare to Lennon's vocals. I'm not one for covers unless it sounds better than the original.

Its odd how so much evidense was found on how Paul died back in 1966, what do you people think about that subject.

I find it hilarious, especially how Paul and John capitalized on it and turned it into a big joke :lol:

I think its really gay and rediculous. There is this big group of kids (like 8 kids) and they are all classic rock posers (You know what i mean "Ya! d00d i t0ta11lly l0ve Led Zeppelin" My Fav song d00d has to be that one song....oh yeah what is it..oh yeah! B1ack dog d00d. Awwwesome man!)

Anyways................They all are big believers that Paul McCartney is dead. And once they figured out that i am a hardcore McCartney fan (REALLY hardcore i might add.) they felt the need to try and convince me that he is dead.

Well I went on some websites to see this "Extremly Convincing Evidence". and i have to say its complete and utter Bull$hit. Every little "Fact" they give is so ridiculous, its almost laughable.

Like the fact that on "Rubber Soul" you can prove pual is dead by noticing on the cover they all seem to be looking at pauls grave. :lol:
Um.....how about, no. Its a cover of a god **** album, theyre not looking at a grave.

Well, i could sit here at my desk and Bitch some more about how Paul isnt dead, and dispove every "Fact" that people have put out there, but that would take me hours to write. So i guess ill stop here.

They eventually admitted that 'Paul is Dead' was a hoax.

They never admit that they made money because of it ('cause fans bought albums to hear the clues), though.

George Harrison, however, is dead.

Won't it be wierd when Paul actually does die? People will say "Paul is dead" and people would respond either "yeah..." or "Paul who?"

And John Lennon is living in Africa with Elvis and Bob Marley.

[QUOTE=MalcolmYoungRock]And John Lennon is living in Africa with Elvis and Bob Marley.[/QUOTE]


I thought he shared a flat with Frank Zappa Osama Bin Laden and Wolfgang Puck in Bueno Aires :confused:

They really put a lot of thought into making all of the clues.

[QUOTE=MalcolmYoungRock]And John Lennon is living in Africa with Elvis and Bob Marley.[/QUOTE]
Man, I wish. I'd go and jam with them. Think how that would be, man.

Hey, did you know that the day that the Beatles played on Ed Sullivan for the first time, they got a telegraph from Elvis right before the show? He wished them luck. It was kind of a passing of the torch, I guess.

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]I thought he shared a flat with Frank Zappa Osama Bin Laden and Wolfgang Puck in Bueno Aires :confused:[/QUOTE]

No, he moved out 3 months ago.

He said Osama and Zappa kept on fighting.

Osama can be such a bitch


EDIT: I might see McCartney twice in Boston

2 times? how?



Selling Crack i assume.

Seeing him once in Vegas...

God I can't wait.

I can't believe I've missed so much.:(

Current Favorite Songs: Happiness Is A Warm Gun and Revolution (the faster single version)
Current Favorite Album: A Hard Day's Night

Stu's German girlfriend was Astrid Kirchherr.

What are winklepicker shoes? I remember reading somewhere that John liked George's clothes and winklepicker shoes, but Mimi didn't approve of them.

I think it was the greatest marketing ploy in the history of the world. Pure genious. Even people who weren't Beatles fans were buying their albums to look for clues in the songs.

I think the truth is that Courtny Love killed Paul McCartney.

[QUOTE=Seafroggys]Yeah I have it, but don't have any tab proggies. I did Get Back, though, like 5 years ago as a midi, if you want that.[/QUOTE]


that would be brill, what is "midi" tho,....

[QUOTE=pigonthewing82]I think the truth is that Courtny Love killed Paul McCartney.[/QUOTE]

Courney Love killed JFK

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]Courney Love killed JFK[/QUOTE]

JFK didn't die :angry:

Hes living in a shack in England with Jim Morrison and Tupac.

I have just been reveling in the glory of "Long Long Long"

[QUOTE=pigonthewing82]JFK didn't die :angry:

No, Morrison moved out also. Tupac kept threatening him.

Morrison's living in an apartment in New Hampshire by himself. Never comes out. Keeps his door locked.

Listens to The Doors all the time.

You've really gotta keep up with your "dead" celebrity figures.

Actually, Paul and the rest of The Beatles claim to have first been aware of the death hints in 1969, after Abbey Road was released. So that makes about any clues before 1969 basically added fluff.
