George Martin Dead

2016-03-09 by BlacKapes | 76 Comments
George Martin, sometimes referred to as "the fifth Beatle" due to his extensive production/arrangement work with The Beatles, has died at age 90. With his expertise and ear for talent he signed The Beatles to Parlophone, and they were soon propelled into super-stardom. He was a huge influence on the shape of modern engineering and production, pioneering several concepts that we take for granted because of how commonly used they are now. His cause of death is not yet known.

Cause of death is unknown

I’m gonna guess it had something to do with being fuckin 90.

RIP, gonna listen to that last piano chord from a day in the life all day. Just that part though.

He made it to age 90, so it's not like he didn't live a full life... RIP though. He was truly an important part of the Beatles, they would've sounded completely different without him (like on Let It Be, the only album he didn't produce...)

Let's not forget what he did for America. A lot of their best albums were produced from George.

I instantly knew it was the producer Martin because I couldn't see George R.R. Martin's death being posted on Sputnik. Since it's music focused.

Sputnikmusic.com is a music website. News posted on this site is always music related in some way. George RR Martin is an author. He isn't a musician, and as far as I know, doesn't have anything to do with any thing music related in any way. Why anyone on this site would think that he died, and his death would posted on a music website...to me...means they are probably below average intelligence.

Please elaborate Gameofmetal and explain to me why I set the benchmark of stupidity?

I have a feeling I'll be waiting awhile for an adequate response.

"it's not that serious dude. we've had unrelated news articles posted before and the first thing that comes to a lot of ppl's minds when they read george martin is the author"

So those people should be excused from using basic logic when posting on the site?

Sorry, but no.

lmao

it's just the similarity between "George Martin" and "George RR Martin", how hard is that to understand. You noticed the half dozen other people that said the same thing right?

"I don't think anyone who watches Game Of Thrones has an IQ above 100 anyway. Either that or they watch it to see a dong when they need a closeted fulfillment. God forbid a dick shows up on their net history. Their mothers might see it."

Hehe. Generally people who tell me to watch Game of Thrones are not people I take recommendations from seriously.

That doesn't excuse the other half dozen people from using basic logic and rationale either.
