Yes!!! Oh My Hello leokimvideo Thanks For The Visit!!! Really Appreciate It! Love Your Channel!!! Been Watching You For Years Now!!! Peace And Love!!! :)
That four people from the same time and place had _this_ much talent and found each other and stumbled into becoming the biggest musical act in the world is the magic of The Beatles. It defies all odds.
I've heard John say in a couple different interviews that this was one of his favorite numbers because of it's honesty. It holds a special place in my heart because when I was growing up I used to sing along to this one with a very dear friend of mine. I would sing John's bit and she would take the harmony. She passed away close to 40 years ago but when I hear this song my mind often drifts back to those simpler days, the two of us singing along to the Beatles in my living room. It's nice to hear the vocals isolated. I read an interview Cynthia gave where she said she knew the first time she heard John, Paul, and George, sing together that they had something special. She was so right. I am grateful for many things God has blessed me with in this life, not the least of which was the chance to be alive when the Beatles were doing their thing. I'm at the age now where it is highly unlikely any group or artist will touch me the way they did. RIP John, George, and my dear friend Lisa. I will see you all on the other side soon enough. Maybe the lads will let us sing along one time, a bit out of key maybe, but always done out of love . 😉
Ringo drums sound the best on this album more than any other especially Ticket to Ride. His playing and the vocals on the Help album were second to none.
I think his drumming continues to get better and better through the years with the Beatles, but 1965 is a stand out year for him. So many great and unique beats on this and the next album, especially, as well as the singles they released between them and Revolver. His drums on Revolver are also inventive and stand out. When you think that from the release of Help, the singles to Rubber Soul, with more singles, and Revolver there is only one year passing, what the Beatles accomplished in so short a time is absolutely amazing. In that one year they changed the course of modern music.
His drumming is solid as a rock as always but that high pitched "pop-pop" snare sound is really annoying and on many Help (and Rubber Soul) tracks the tambourine is louder than the drums
The reason is easy: Ringo died end of 1965 and has been replaced by a lookalike, who copied his style but changed it slowly. You just have to solve the clues everywhere.
OMG! this takes me back, in the early eighties I went to Abbey Road Studios as a special open day my friend and I went to number two studio where The Beatles recorded their song's. There were instruments that they used piano, Paul's bass, the harmonium ( used in 'Strawberry Fields Forever) Ringo's drums and other items, anyway there was also a talk and to show just how good their playing was they played 'Help' without the singing and it was amazing. Thank's for this it really took me back to a fantastic day. 😁
I went to that open day at Abbey Road too. It was while they were renovating the studio, one of the most memorable days of my life. I can never forget hearing for the first time the unreleased version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, played solo by George on acoustic guitar. Both the song itself and the acoustic quality of the huge studio monitors in the studio where it had been recorded was mind blowing.
@@jonathanamos5026 Hi Jonathan that version is my favourite I also remember the sound was so clear in the studio it really did send a chill in one, take care x
@ Kilroy I know right, damn hacks. How they fooled all those people is still a mystery, I’m glad you’re ‘here’ to expose those talentless wannabes for what they really were.
@@richardeast3328 Settle down, Francis. I'm not attacking you, though you really shouldn't be so emotionally tied to an artist that you feel the need to reply and defend them - 50 year later. They were brilliant songwriters and good musicians in the sense that most of them could play multiple instruments, but if you detach yourself emotionally and listen critically, you'll find that John and George were not particularly good guitarists.
Seeing Help with my sister at the Drive In Nassau County thanks to my parents. We acted like a bunch of kids yelling and jumping around the station wagon. That’s right we were all of 8 years old and full of life. Help me if you can I’m feeling down in the winter of Covid searching for a vaccination. I will always love the Beatles
IMO the best thing about this wasn't even intentional - love that you can hear one of John's vocal tracks underneath the bass and drums and the other underneath the guitars.
@@jimmy5634 I've heard Paul's chords in other tunes and it always reminds me of how good a bassist he is. But I hadn't noticed it in Help! until I listened to this vid with headphones. Thanks for the reply.
Yea, chords at 01:38 though it may be just two notes instead of a full chord triad. He also does it on the intro to "Being for the Benefit..." and when he composes "Get Back" from the Get Back sessions.
Can someone tell me other how other than the third verse ringo is drumming without a kick?! It’s almost like Paul’s bass is acting as a kick. It’s so genius I think about it everyday 🙃
The isolated vocals are interesting. They sound like they may have been slightly tape flanged, if that was even possible. They didn't have the electronics back then to do it with that type of effect.
Love how the final vocals 3-part harmony ooohs transition to mmms - the final chord played & sustained is A major, but the ooohs & mmms are F sharp minor - mesmerizing !
George goes a tiny bit flat on his vocal harmony part, but his super-cool electric guitar arpeggios and leading transition phrases makes up for it 10,000 fold. What an awesome band!
Notes to self: 1. 1:43 no hi-hats in Ringo's beat... only bassdrum + snare. never noticed that. love his minimal way of playing 2. 2:26 those off-beat taps at every end of chorus... some kind of foot stamping or muted strings stroking ... whatever it is, always thought it was part of Ringo's drumming! 3. John's rhythm playing has such emphasize on the off-beat! never noticed that. stroking the hell out of his 12 string 4. George is actually playing 2 different parts. one normal and one dubbed (with a phaser effect?)
One of the more...underrated tracks of The Beatles, "Help!", is a solid early rock track, in the history of Rock-N-Roll, with absolutely perfect harmonies, vocals, and crisp drums. Ringo really kicks this track into gear, and Lennon's lyrics are some of the most interpersonal in the history of Rock-N-Roll. Genius. Jumpy. Beautiful. Perfect. A true Rock-N-Roll track...that catapulted The Beatles out of their bubblegum pop era, and into their more self/aware Rubber Soul era. And it just kept getting better after this....
How is Help! underrated? Lol, it was one of their #1 hits and is the title track off the album. This is in many fans', myself included, top 20 favorite Beatles songs.
@@philmstud2k Yes ma'am...you are correct. Your subjective opinion of what is 'underrated', is more correct. I could tell by your intelligence...and your response. Thank you for your wisdom ma'am. Lol.
@@baberoot1998 Facts are not "subjective opinion." The commenter stated the fact that Help became a #1 hit which by definition means it was highly rated. Sarcasm is the first response of a weak argument.
In John's vocals, you can hear the old-school yes-you-really-have-to-sing-it-twice vocal doubling that was de rigeur in studios of the day. John finally whinged enough about having to double-track his vocals that a technician came up with an Automatic Double-Tracking system...
It's a side effect of the software that splits the tracks. Check out Sina-drums latest video (How I make my backing tracks) for a really good demo of one such software package.
How did you separate these? By equalization? The reason i ask is that the guitars and bass sound really thin and tinny, like all the bass had been rolled off. it's interesting hearing Paul's bass line better. The acoustic guitar sound is really bad though.

Exposes Ringo's magic on the sticks
Yes!!! Oh My Hello leokimvideo Thanks For The Visit!!! Really Appreciate It! Love Your Channel!!! Been Watching You For Years Now!!! Peace And Love!!! :)
How he opens up the hi hat or he’s splashing cymbals on the “Help me if you can…” part. Great
No.
@@MrJeanpierretonial yes.
Listen to that subtle shuffle! So cool 😎

yes. well said! This much talent and ALL in such synch and on the same wavelength. It was a miracle.
To me it's just God's hand. I thank God for The Beatles and all the happiness they've given me
It's just crazy
Dang Ringo is such an amazing timekeeper !
He Sure Does!, Thanks For Watching
@@revolution_rui30 yes, yes he was and is.
Human metronome so they say.🥁

I could listen to just Paul and Ringo killing this groove all day.
My favorite part!
George’s harmony vocals are so under appreciated. Shivers my spine. They’re joyous, intelligent and beautiful all at once.
Ringo!!!!!!!!! The exuberance!!!! He's just killing those drums!!!!
Ringo is the beat of a generation!!!
Ringo defined the beat of modern Rock.
Yeah!!!!!
What about keith moon?
The BEAT in The Beatles.
@@forastero4ever Keith Moon would never be able to play this track . He would ruin it.

It's amazing how little Ringo is playing his kick, mostly in the third chorus.
Probably because he's not that good at drumming.

Wonderful and can't wait for vocals alone
Love John and his voice. Oh the drums are amazing
John’s rhythm playing on the 12-string is masterful.
Seriously? It's basic strumming and it's actually kind of sloppy.

As a guitar player i really dig....Ringo's drumming on this one.
I loved this!!! The vocals sounded so cool at the end. All space age and warped.
I love how the vocal line ends with that distinct humming as the song fades away. Classic. Thanks.

Paul said Help! was the best song he and John wrote together.
My god I never realised how high ringo tuned his snare on this album.
Ahead of his time. Now many drummers use the high, tight sound.
Toight like a tigah
Sounds like he has sizzle ride on this as well.
The rimshots enhance the tuning too. And Ringo nails them exactly the same every time. Not easy.
@@timwingham8952 that’s what I noticed, he never fails to hit them. Absolutely amazing
Simplesmente a maior banda de rock de todos os tempos.
IMO the best thing about this wasn't even intentional - love that you can hear one of John's vocal tracks underneath the bass and drums and the other underneath the guitars.
holy shit that bass tone is thumpingly incredible
Thanks for sharing this. It's so revealing in several ways. They got a lot onto a four-track tape! And they could play, really play...
"Help in any way" Paul playing chords on bass - never heard that until now.
Ringo always used his cymbals so effectively.
Paul played chords on the bass way back when on the first album.
@@jimmy5634 I've heard Paul's chords in other tunes and it always reminds me of how good a bassist he is. But I hadn't noticed it in Help! until I listened to this vid with headphones. Thanks for the reply.
Yea, chords at 01:38 though it may be just two notes instead of a full chord triad. He also does it on the intro to "Being for the Benefit..." and when he composes "Get Back" from the Get Back sessions.
Undoubtedly proves Paul’s preference for a pick over fingers…
So tight, what a sound!
It's quite demoralising how good they are/were/ the off-beat guitar, the vocal harmonies, the drumming, just pure alchemy.
Can someone tell me other how other than the third verse ringo is drumming without a kick?! It’s almost like Paul’s bass is acting as a kick. It’s so genius I think about it everyday 🙃
he's keeping steady using the cymbals, and using the kick for the chorus and third verse, as you've mentioned.
Wow! I've listened to this song more than a thousand times and I never noticed the missing kick drum during the verses
Great observation
All four had incredible instincts. Funny how you don't notice something sometimes..until it's missing. Usually it's like that with the bass.
Be simple, be clean, be ringo.
Ringo’s sheer ingenuity is what makes him a great drummer.
0:01 I can’t listen to the bass and drums without hearing them sing in my head! Wow! I must be a Beatles super fan!
Tbf they are slightly singing it, but this song is an ear worm so.
Aren't we all?
Ringo...is a human metronome.
I always give it a thumbs-up before I view your videos. I know it will be good!
Sou fã dessa banda desde os 10 anos. Agora estou com 68.
🤭
Thats snare omg 😱
This proves all those idiots wrong telling me to hit the tom on the breaks when I knew it was John hitting his acoustic with his hand.
Go Ringo!
Harmonies are really nice, too.
Only The Beatles could get away with ending a song with "ooooommmm".
The isolated vocals are interesting. They sound like they may have been slightly tape flanged, if that was even possible. They didn't have the electronics back then to do it with that type of effect.
Love how the final vocals 3-part harmony ooohs transition to mmms - the final chord played & sustained is A major, but the ooohs & mmms are F sharp minor - mesmerizing !

Ringo and Paul:the "Twotles".
That was magic
Always dug Ringo’s snare at the beginning of the verse. The pitch is “A” - the same key song’s in 👍🏻
Then song is not in A tho
@@mirondelpero5592 Help is definitely in the key of A major !
Perfect man !...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh Yeahh!
The simple fact that stripped down to the vocal track still makes this an entire song speaks volumes.
Amazing!
I said it before and I'll say it again...You can set your wristwatch to Ringo's drums..you really could !!
Notes to self:
1. 1:43 no hi-hats in Ringo's beat... only bassdrum + snare. never noticed that. love his minimal way of playing

Super Fu...king Cool !!!!
The film Help, was originally titled, Eight Arms to Hold You ! But the other three liked the song 🎵Help so much, It was decided to change the title.
The bass reminds me of "Dreaming of you" by The Coral
Yes!!
0:45 sounds like the crash from the old garage band drum kit pack. hell it probably is the exact one.
This is why they are The Beatles.
Paul's bassline provides the kick, that's why Ringo isn't playing the bass drum a lot
Amazing band !
The vocals sound phased-is that natural phase cancellation, tape age, or did they add that effect to it?
It's a side effect of the software that splits the tracks. Check out Sina-drums latest video (How I make my backing tracks) for a really good demo of one such software package.
What process are you using to separate the tracks?
Gênios.

I can’t hear bass drums. Neither here or on the original mix.
Ringo doesn't play bass drums the whole time. You can tell because you can hear his bass drum when he's hitting the crash and in the 3rd verse.
