Wait a minute! Jimi Hendrix inspired Paul McCartney's solo in Taxman 10 months before? Taxman was recorded on April 1966 and Paul met Jimi Hendrix on February 1967. Check minute 2:17
I had no idea that they had ever met. I’m glad to hear this. It sounds like they actually were actually friends. As a kids, these were my two favorite groups.
I read once that Mickey Dolenz was telling a story on the time he went to see The Beatles recording in Abbey Road. He went dressed up in all his flamboyant Carnaby Street style clothing, thinking this was the way rock stars dressed, only to find The Beatles were dressed like the man in the street.
@@mickavellian From a 2021 interview with Rock Cellar magazine Why The Monkees’ Micky Dolenz thought he should dress similar to Ronald McDonald while The Beatles made ‘Sgt. Pepper’ Dolenz elaborated on the sessions. “I was invited to a recording session at Abbey Road,” he recalled. “I was expecting this big Beatlemania fun fest freak-out love-in and I got dressed accordingly in paisley bell-bottoms and tie-dyed underwear. I looked like a cross between Ronald McDonald and Charlie Manson.” Dolenz said the creation of Sgt. Pepper was low-key. “And it was just the four guys in an empty studio space, florescent lighting, in jeans and t-shirts, just workin’, just the four of them,” he remembered. “I spent an hour or two there with them, listening.” I'd like to add that the Beatles were my era - I still have my Beatles scrapbook including the pull-out section of a pop music paper covering the time when they landed in the USA and early Beatles Monthly magazines, Though I never lived in London, I did visit Carnaby Street where a friend of mine worked.
I don't think Paul heard Jimi Hendrix play till at least a month after Revolver was released. Paul must've made up the Taxman guitar solo all by himself?
03:18 was 'The Hollywood Vampires', a drinking group. It was made up of John, Anne Murray, Alice Cooper, Harry Nillson and Mickey. Not sure that Howard Kaylan (far left) was a member, though. That look slike Mark Volman behind him.
History TRUE History is SO satisfying HOW everything FLOWED as if it was a carefully planned movie. NEVER AGAIN will The WORLD will know the glorious time we had when The Beatles became our reason to breath
Yes, but as a little kid I didn’t know that. And I listened to the monkey’s records a lot at the time. I would never miss the TV show (which I think was every friday night). It was a highlight of my week back then. Fond memories.
Not sure about that. Both Nesmith and Tork were folk musicians before they joined the Monkees. Nesmith even had one of his songs pre-Monkees "Different drum" covered by Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Ponies which was a hit in 1967.
Yes 3 of them were musicians and Davy was a singer ….nobody researches and back checks anything anymore. Mike and Peter were musicians and Micky was a guitar player who can actually read music. He had to learn drums because he was the only one willing to do it. People just go by what they’ve been told for many years which goes to show how easy it is to keep untrue rumours an on going thing.

I LOVE FACTUAL POSTS

Another piece of BS.
The Beatles ALL of them wore the HIPPY clothes , BUT they took it further.
Just look at pictures of the time

I’m pretty sure Jeff Beck was the influence on Paul’s Taxmen solo.
Sounds like a load of rubbish to me. Paul's Taxman solo was at least 1 - 2 years before anyone had even heard of Hendrix!
Revolver was released in 1966.
YEAH PRETTY ILL INFORMED NARRATIVE
Imagine if The Beatles and The Monkees did something together in one studio
Actually, the Beatles performed on the Ed Sullivan show on February 9th.
Why is Mike Nesmith's last name spelled "Nes-mith" on the video? smh

Ok but the monkeys weren’t a real band and at the beginning most of them could t play their instrument.

BULLSHIT
They were ALL Musicians
The ONLY problem was that Miky Dolens HAD to learn drumming and HE nailed it

I agree.They are urban legends that the Monkees were non-musical talents.@@videogemsproductions
