I find myself reading too much into this stuff. Four of the most talented guys in the world, in their 20s, working their asses off for five years; I'm really surprised they stayed together for as long as they did. They should be credited for that.
@@robiandolo Agreed. I especially get annoyed when someone gives too much credit to George Martin, calling him "the fifth Beatle", or claiming the Beatles would be nothing without him.
It sounds like a tired and overworked Paul did his bit in the studio and just packed it in for the night…possibly frustrated at the session..not that unusual in a band dynamic. Opinions..we all have a million of them.
Thank you for this. People fail to understand that these guys were in the studio almost everyday for hours upon hours and expected to produce an album a year and several singles which is unheard of by today’s standards. So of course there were tensions as with any family or group that is there every day for long periods. But it blows over and they continue. But because this wasn’t publicized or there wasn’t a film crew, the episodes of Ringo and George leaving took on an extra level of contention whereas the band always took that in stride. When you listen to the white album outtakes a completely different picture emerges than the one largely pushed by Geoff Emerick who was overly sensitive to arguments to a fault. The outtakes show a tight band, completely in sync musically, performing together and usually with the same sarcasm and humor. I’m sure if all the outtakes were released you’d find moments of them arguing during every single album but taken out of context they seem far larger than what the band saw them as. They continued to make songs when Ringo left knowing that it was just another argument and once things cooled down he would return.
Well, highly doubtful that Geoff Emerick was "overly sensitive." He simply left for a time because the mocking got too extreme. We would have done the same. The Beatles, especially one of them, could be real, not nice jerks when they were in quirky moods.
"Paul remains tight-lipped about the incident" Peculiar statement, considering that Paul is, as far as I'm aware, the only Beatle to have publicly reported that there even *was* "an incident" - evidently caused by him disagreeing with John's rush to get the track finished late that night before they all had to leave for Germany in the morning - and in fact Paul exaggerated its significance by remembering wrongly that he hadn't played on the track. He did, the rhythm track was finished. All that happened was that he went home before the overdubs were done.
It's funny to learn this about the song. It's always been one of my faves but at the same time it always had a bit of a stitched together feel to it, for better or for worse.
as any serious band member can tell you, you don’t & you can’t get along with everyone all the time…The Beatles were no different plus they had all the pressure their incredible success added; I’m surprised they stayed together as long as they did; what’s often forgotten is that the true chemistry between John, Paul, George, & Ringo was as performers…not just onstage but they started out when you had to play as an ensemble in the studio…those 4 guys played and sang really well together; it’s just my humble opinion but I think advanced recording technology killed the group vibe; it took less than a decade
As a Guitar Player this is one of my Faviorite Lennon written songs by the Beatles. For that time period ( 1966) it has great Guitar playing. I play this song all the time a top 20 Beatles song for me. And yes on the Revolver Album its Paul on Bass.
She Said She Said was one of the many highlights on the Revolver album. A classic psychedelic rock song. Don’t think Paul himself was sure why he stormed out of the recording of it.
I read somewhere....paul wanted to have a night out with some people and he told them the day before.they needed this song but paul got mad and didn't wanted to do it.
@@timothycornell3032ok but he must have forgot because we now have recordings showing he did. You can hear him talking because the next take happens and it’s most certainly him
@@aisle_of_view and listen to that nasty, perfect bass on Oh Darling;That’s Georgie boy with John on guitar and Paul on piano, throw in those magnificent triplets that Ringos tossing about and you’ve got one bad ass fucking song from 4 geniuses.
Wow, that recording of John ripping on Paul is very revealing…it confirms what I have thought for many years that actually the leader of the Beatles has always Been PM..and for the sake of Beatles lore And fandom, Paul allowed the Faust narrative that John was the leader of the group, Paul let John think he was the leader…for getting along sake…. The fandom has said that History was changed when Paul met John to start the beginning of the Beatles, but actually Paul met George In.School years before he met John so the coming together of the Fab 4 started with Paul and George. And to add to that..it was Paul who sought out John. These are Facts that can’t be refuted, Now add the recording of John opening up on Paul about his songs and arrangements always taking precedence over any of the other Beatles input really confirms that. Then I will also add this to the buffet, in the early years of John and Paul’s history..Paul was actually giving John Lennon guitar lessons..with all of this info, one can only conclude that PM was actually the Man.
It’s interesting to see the level at which people will analyze (after the fact) what was going on in peoples’ heads. I suppose it makes for interesting fantasy - and clicks, but in the end even the Beatles couldn’t equally interpret what was said or done. It was simply human reaction to discourse that produced what they produced. Analyzing at this level might be entertaining for some, but I’d much rather listen to their music.
So much is made of George and Paul's 'tiff' in Let It Be' and now something is trying to be made of this. I bet they had countless disagreements over the years, even on the stage in Hamburg, Cavern and earlier sessions at Abbey Road. Much ado about nothing imo.
This makes a mountain out of a molehill. In Ian McDonald’s book, he records Paul as playing bass only while George backed John’s singing. The Beatles always did have arguments but moved on. Paul admitted to the Barney. They were a band of brothers so arguments happened. The last day of recording an album with a deadline to hit is bound to be stressful anyway.
@@scottandrewbrass1931 If Paul walked out of recording session [not major disaster lol] apparently there is no solid evidence of that. "so called" is just a common speech phrase used meaning that sort of thing. I'm not sure what the hell difference this all makes in life lol.
I think they will have had a lot of tiffs over the years. All had big personalities, John had a cutting sense of humour. Bit of nothing really I’d guess.
So John got to do his song his way with, She Said, She Said. As I am not a fan of the song, I would say, She Said, She Said, misses Paul's influence on it.
Onespect not talked to much Beatle lore is John learning disabilities most time would get way of him creating music but at times did intere with processing things...Paul smaller was same bit understand how create music..
The recording didn’t take place at Abbey Road. The Beatles didn’t record a note of music at Abbey Road Studios. I wish people would stop getting this wrong.
@@tomalandavies wasn’t called Abbey Road until 1976. It was called EMI studios. It was renamed after the album not the other way around. Is it funny now?
John was a more a collaborator and more. John worjed eith George and actually gave him songs to record - "Do You Want to Know a Secret?" and "I Just Want to Dance With You". Paul - not so much. It appeared that he's more into himself.
Have to somewhat disagree. Paul's contributions to George's songs were excellent, John's not so much. George got to sing those 2 early songs you mentioned because John thought so little of them. Fuzz bass on Think For Yourself, his bass on Taxman as well as playing the lead guitar line without mention of that on the album cover (as he also did on some Pepper songs), his contribution to While My Guitar..., his work with George on the recording of I Me Mine - I could go on. George's 2 songs on Abbey Road: I hear Paul's contributions but not John's (well, he missed some sessions after his car accident). Minor matters in the big picture, they were a team, all of them. "More into himself?" That was ALL of them, tho Ringo not so much. This song is a good topic for Beatle conversation. When the album came out (in the US), I thought it was the "strangest" Beatle song ever - it seemed like the transitions were awkward but cool. Later I learned Paul had walked out of the session, which may be why it seemed, to me, unfinished at the time. Topic for conversation concerning Paul's musical abilities and demands: he helped get rid of Stu Sutcliff, he helped get rid of Pete Best, so I wonder that if success had taken a bit longer that George would have been next...
Hmmm. Actually Lennon said he didn't think much of Harrison's songwriting (up to Abbey Road anyway), didn't think much of his singing, and found it a bit of a chore to find songs to keep him interested. He also was unwelcoming to the (underrated) Harrison song "I Me Mine" in Get Back. Lennon's collaboration with Martin was to leave it with him, not explain himself. and then to later in later years to dismiss his contribution, much to Martin's dismay. Martin and Emerick were both extremely appreciative of McCartney's intense involvement with the arrangement and recording process. Lennon was notoriously lazy, and at times unpleasantly volatile. Yes, McCartney's perfectionism and ego could be tiresome, but I can barely think of any song in the Beatles catalogue written by any of the group where McCartney isn't there, providing brilliant bass lines, guitar riffs, vocal harmonies, keyboard parts. Listen to say "Come Together" - a Lennon song for example. He was the one who steered the tempo. He made the keyboard part. It's got possibly one of the most important bass parts of any song. in history. His vocal harmonies are extraordinary. How is that "being into himself"? He was the one who CARED.
john would only come in with bits of songs. and paul and g. martin were there to help him finish. only a few times did john come in with a whole song ready to go. paul was always finished with his songs when he recorded. listen to his demos, all piano demos with it ready to go. also we are still hearing john in his acid heroin days, i know he would have different thoughts if he wasnt killed. the walrus was, paul....
This is so stupid! Some of these Beatle people are turning into Trekkies. 50 plus years and we are still concerned about such insignificant facts. Isn't it good enough just to have the music. What's next? We have to learn what underwear Paul was wearing when he wrote Let it Be?
I disagree... I like to hear all the specific details.. I mean, the Beatles are easily the most fascinating, complex band that ever existed... So, the more details I hear, the better...
"We have to learn what underwear Paul was wearing when he wrote Let it Be?" Why!? What have you heard"? You are right, of course. And you are wrong, of course. I mean, you're here, and other people are here. About one song written in 1966. I mean, it doesn't make sense, but people still care. Because that song makes people feel. Because it gives pleasure. Because people love that sense of "wow- this song feels significant, and I can't get that anywhere else". I really wish I COULD get that feeling somewhere else, and you could say that's what a lot of people have sought, culturally, since the 1960s. Of course it was (in a sense), a revolutionary period. Things changed, things were happening for the first time. They could never happen for the first tune again, and so the stuff in the 1990s say - like Nirvana - you can see that there is talent, and desire - but it feels a bit retread. And isn't it kind of great that four guys from a decaying Northern English port town are known in Viet Nam and Rio and Tokyo and Los Angeles 60 years later, and nobody seems to be able to shoo them off the stage, because what they do still feels modern? Sixty years ago they made "I Feel Fine". Sixty years before THAT Puccini's Madame Butterfly was premiering.
You don't half pick some good topics, Colin. Seems that Paul was quite used to having his own way with arrangements, and this time John said no. Paul would get his own back 5 months later 😂
Paul was very close-minded. People call him a "perfectionist" but that is just nonsense. He wanted everything his way, whereas Lennon was quoted saying he didn't mind what the others played in his songs as long as it was professional. I remember a scene from Get Back where they were rehearsing Don't Let Me Down and when the bridge comes in and Lennon sings "I'm in love for the first time.." the other two add a very cheese "for the first time in my life.." and Lennon just lets them do it, at the hope it would evolve into something better, which obviously didn't happen.
I would say determined more than close-minded. He got a bit wrapped up in things for sure, couldn't see the forest for the trees? Or maybe the other way 'round. Too busy looking at the forest that he couldn't see the trees.

She said, She Said sounds like 2 or 3 promising songs thrown together without any being fully developed to their potential. It reminds me of Across the Universe in that it’s the rare Beatles song with a subpar arrangement and production. Plenty of promise.
@@Lennonlover06 Lennon wasn’t happy with the production on a few of his songs. The other song that could have been a lot better is Across the Universe-so thought John as well.
@@HEADLINEZOO Lennon could hear what he could hear in his head - he's a genius. he has the right to complain about the production. John was of the opinion that ALL the Beatles recordings should have been rerecorded. that's his perogative too - to hold that opinion. however it does not follow that they are subpar - only that their author is disatisfied with them. in the case of across the universe, there is more than one released recording. the 1968 world wildlife album version is (possibly) inferior to the 1970 let it be version. but neither is subpar. it was state of the art for the time - indeed, ahead of it's time.

@@Lennonlover06 Lennon wasn’t happy with the production on a few of his songs. The other song that could have been a lot better is Across the Universe-so thought John as well.
@@HEADLINEZOO Lennon could hear what he could hear in his head - he's a genius. he has the right to complain about the production. John was of the opinion that ALL the Beatles recordings should have been rerecorded. that's his perogative too - to hold that opinion. however it does not follow that they are subpar - only that their author is disatisfied with them.
in the case of across the universe, there is more than one released recording. the 1968 world wildlife album version is (possibly) inferior to the 1970 let it be version. but neither is subpar. it was state of the art for the time - indeed, ahead of it's time.
Paul walked off one night in September 1966 and never returned actually.
Paul never said anything about it is because when he stormed out that's when he died in a car crash 🤣
Enter billy shears 😂
You win the internet today.
That's not how it went down, Paul was ritually sacrificed
@@PaulFormentos I believe that. Paul was murdered!
@@PaulFormentosyes he was according to Sharon Clemons u - tube called forbidden fruit the Beatles Paul is dead.
It all makes sense. They couldn't get along with Billy (the replacement).
😂😂 moron
