"everything they do sounds super-similar" "they have that same sound on like every single song" This is a contender for the least true statement it is possible to make about The Beatles. Keep listening 🙃
The Beatles (well George Martin & Co.) had to physically splice tape together, they invented the "studio as an instrument", they pioneered all kinds of recording innovations and basically transformed the music industry and this guy says THAT?? When the fact is, they were by far, very far, the worlds most creative band of all time, there is no close 2nd. There is no band with such incredible diversity from song to song, perhaps not even the great composers. They played in literally every genre, and pioneered some of them.
We're all products of our own time - the period of our musical discoveries. I have some sympathy for this reaction. I'm a lot older and I can hear only one rap "song" being done and redone. Anyone who isn't familiar with the '60s can't easily appreciate what a radical break this was from the pop music that came before, even Beatles songs.
It makes me laugh when I hear Gen Z/Millennialls being dismissive about The Beatles. They are still one of the main influences in modern music. Ask any musician who he or she is inspired by and they will either name The Beatles or another musician who in turn was inspired by The Beatles. I just don't think young brains can comprehend how innovative and cool they were (still are). They are so far removed from it. I think when they get older and have more knowledge and understanding of cultural history they will get it more.
It's funny that you said "I just don't think young brains can comprehend how innovative and cool they were " when those of us who were fans (and STILL ARE) back in the '60s when The Beatles were active... we WERE YOUNG and had NO TROUBLE comprehending there music. There are also GenZ/Millennial reactors here that ARE LOVING the Beatles music on first hearing. NOT ONE of them as ever said that all the Beatles music "sounds the same" like TY said here! My JAW dropped when he said THAT!! It's SO NOT TRUE! AGAIN, back then, we couldn't wait for their next single or album to come out, to see WHAT they were going to do NEXT....was NEVER the same. TY clearly hasn't heard very much of their music (well there is over 200 songs), but if he would listen to ALL their music he would see that it ALL doesn't sound the same. Seriously. SO sad.
I think the imaginative, creative, visionary, boundary breaking music of the Beatles is too much for some people of a certain age to understand. They've grown up on so much music that either relies on excessive vulgarity or is just bland, conventional, formulaic songs with three notes.
They dont see the Beatles in the context of the time frame and what music was like at the time. The Beatles invented and normalized many techniques and tricks that seem common now. They were not, at the time.
I cant be critical of Ty's comments. Im the same age as Dad but when I was Ty's age I didnt get the Beatles either. Its not till my listening ears matured more that I understood what they were trying to do. They were geniuses and deserved to be the biggest band the world has ever seen. I'm a synth pop/new wave nut and the Beatles do now appeal to my sensibilities.
Slave thou hast slain me , villian take my purse & if ever thou wilt thrive , bury my body . And give the letters that thou finds about me to Edmond Earl of Glochester
Actually no, the Mellotron was was used at the beginning of Strawberry Fields Forever but for I am The Walrus (And I did extensive research on this song) it was a 1964 Hohner Pianet C that was used with tape flanging that made it sound more "glittery".
I think this is one of most genial song ever written. It was written by John Lennon. It is certainly among my favourite songs by The Beatles, and I know all of them. Great choice to react to that! And I'm waiting for the Doors too😊
I grew up on the Beatles I'm 41 now and still listen to them my parents were Mods in the 60s and in our house we would play 60s music all day and watch the Beatle movies Magical mystery tour and Help and a hard day's night all there music is amazing.
It’s great on headphones. Cranked on a good stereo in the proper room matters too. I live with a roommate that cranks his good sound system in a tiny room so the sound just bounces rapidly from wall to wall and it sounds like shit
Interesting what the young man said. I think almost every Beatles song sounds completely different (I wasn’t alive when they were together, either.) I was hoping you would listen to “Hello, Goodbye” while on MMT. My fave ❤
What many of todays people don’t realize was that back then there was no stereo, there was none of the technology that is available today. They were just creative innovative geniuses, they created all the things that today is taken for granted due to today’s technology many of which came about due to their creative innovations. They were just a song writing band they were truly brilliant audio artist. So when evaluating the Beatles take into account not just their music but their innovative thinking g towards music and recording. They expanded the definition of music/art beyond anyone then and now. And they did it in 5 years (64-69) they were like a tornado that came ripping thru the world
In the 60s and early 70s, stereo was still yet to be common. Radio, TV even record players were still mono. So when the technology arrived, the musicians were discovering what it could do. Remember, 8 track was first used on "Sargent Peppers" but even then, everything was analogue. Digital was still 15 to 20 years down the road. You do need to factor in the technology of the time. Imagine today without any, digital manipulation.
Art is subjective. But funny enough I just think “experimental” is not compatible with younger listeners due to lacklustre forumlaic state the music industry is in.
I don’t see how you could listen to this and not be blown away by Beatles creativity. These guys missed going through the musical evolution process and therefore aren't really equipped to understand what's taking place. They probably prefer some sampling tune or maybe even something traditional. Kinda like giving a critique on an abstract painting from the 40’s and saying thats not a tree. 🤦♂️😎
A big factor is the recording norm of the times was a 4 track tape recorder. Thus, to make room for additional instruments, sounds etc they had to move tracks from stereo to mono to add in the 'king lear on the radio' addition That's why you hear it move to mono about half way thru. The fact they did Sgt Peppers and Magical Mystery tour on 4 track tape is mind boggling. Now they have what 128 tracks?
I can kind of see how maybe L A Woman and this song have some similarities. (Not so much Love Me 2 Times). Yet, this is a classic psychedelic song, and ahead of its time. Read the lyrics, almost surreal. E G ‘sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.’ And, ‘ Semolina Pilchard, Climbing up the Eiffel tower Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe ‘
"Sounds very similar, I feel like a lot of their stuff sounds super similar. Same kind of like sounds. I think it's the guitar but they put some effect on it. They have that in like every single song." What?! You need to clean those ears. They are probably full of ear wax. FYI, if you were just born yesterday. Most rock music has a guitar in it. By your logic, they all sound the same.
@@harrytrent13 They reacted to: All You Need is Love, Help, Come Together, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Strawberry Fields Forever, Hey Jude, and I Am the Walrus. And he concluded that all those songs sounded the same.
I listened again. I remember being stoned as a teen in the mid 1980’s hearing this. (Well, it is legal now but not my jam). And, it sounded great. Also, YES’s greatest hits, and PF WYWH, as well as Led Zep IV.
This young kid is crazy! Saying all the Beatles songs sound alike absolutely insane! The Beatles were their own Genre. Yeah I wanna hold your hand sounds just like come together and Penny lane sounds just like Helter Skelter. Then he dismisses how the songs go from right to left on headphones. Come on, sometimes you can just say I’d have to hear more songs before I can make an honest opinion.
Haha. You can stop it early if you want! No, I will let it play out!! I like this one for the trippiness, but not what I would listen to regularly, a bit too much going on! Some great lines though! And Paul's voice is raw here which I love.
He just said they have the sound at the beginning of I Am The Walrus is used in every single song of theirs? Uhhhh, what an ignorant statement. How many Beatles songs have you heard friend? They are known for having every song sound distinct!
A young persons perspective 😎 Ignorant but honest to him. I'm trying to help my kids understand the Beatles importance, but doesn't always translate, ha 😳 Believe You Me it gets frustrating !!
People were always analysing Beatles songs for deep meaning so John wrote this with nonsense lyrics as a kind of joke to see what nonsense people wrote about it
You have not listened to the Beatles from their beginning then you might understand their popularity and versatility I'm sorry to say but you are woefully ignorant of their work.
Pure nonsense- on purpose. But, you guys didn’t see that! Your reactions at the end were totally not what I expected. I thought at the very least you’d be laughing and scratching your heads. And for this reason I won’t be subscribing to your channel.
You have to be at least 28 and a st*ner to truly appreciate the beatles lol...altho i'm 28 n seems like the generation below me are a lil programmed to be nothing but angry, hateful and depressed where as the beatles are about joy, peace and love lol...yall need to chill out z lighten up n have fun lol
Most bands will go their entire discography without getting close to this, and they achieved this like 200 times.
MASTERPIECE!!! My personal N°1 song from The Beatles, incredible production, everything here is pure genius
"everything they do sounds super-similar" "they have that same sound on like every single song" This is a contender for the least true statement it is possible to make about The Beatles. Keep listening 🙃

The doors are never in the same conversation as the beatles. 10/10 times they beat the doors.
Kids today have no emotions. I guess nothing surprises them.

The sound in the beginning is a mellotron (an early version of what would become synthesizers) with tape loop sounds in conjunction with a keyboard.
Actually no, the Mellotron was was used at the beginning of Strawberry Fields Forever but for I am The Walrus (And I did extensive research on this song) it was a 1964 Hohner Pianet C that was used with tape flanging that made it sound more "glittery".

You have cool parents Paul!
Love the Beatles psychedelic songs
This was originally not intended to be heard on headphones. Cranked on a good stereo is awesome.

He’s gonna hate it before he listens lol
I couldn't believe he said that and other things! Really kid?
this is the first song that blew my mind. I think I was 8 when I found it in my father's records.
Whenever I listen to this, I just think, I want what they are having! Some trip! 🤣
It's kind of interesting and also makes me feel old to see young people listening to those familiar songs as if they were new.
A hint here, as to where South Park gets its teen material.
Ray's left hand played in shows, however, in the studio they relied on bassist, Larry Knechtel of the Wrecking Crew.

He actually likes Tame Impala (modern artist) who is trippy and for sure inspired by the Beatles

more Beatles and more oasis please, some say the oasis version of i am the walrus is better than the original, i have to agree
The Oasis version is totally superior in my opinion.
I don't.
The Beatles is better...not even close.
@@robertsaul234 It’s very good but Oasis is superior version.
No. Not at all.
Not even close.
I'm 69, the Beatles change rock till disco ruined it. And they need to put talent back into music today. Jim

You should listen/react to Oasis' cover of this... it's absolutely bluddy brilliant - and very different to the original.

Hes definitely not heard much of the beatles has he

Maybe he's an alien?@@StepnieW
Can't tell if he's stoned or if he needs to get stoned.
FYI The single was in mono but the album version stereo.
Yeah the kid doesn’t have a great ear yet

The good old days ❤️😎🤟🏼
Guy on the left has no emotions and has never heard the Beatles if he thinks all beatles songs sound the same...
A real doofus. Probably a Lady Gaga fan.
@@jackzaccardi1896 gaga seems like pretty good pop to me, maybe you should use a better or 'worse' example 😂
j'adore vraiment ce titre, le meilleur!....extraordinaire !...
If that doesn’t get you excited….
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she’s gone
Like Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Great reaction!
I'd love to see you do some reactions to The Stranglers. Anything from their first 3 albums
This young kid is crazy! Saying all the Beatles songs sound alike absolutely insane! The Beatles were their own Genre.

Late doors? I mean they were only around for 3 years. Late doors is 1969 and their last two albums. All doors is late doors.
Infact, the Beatles songs do not sound alike which is what separates them from everyone else
Haha. You can stop it early if you want!
No, I will let it play out!!
I like this one for the trippiness, but not what I would listen to regularly, a bit too much going on! Some great lines though! And Paul's voice is raw here which I love.
John's voice, actually.
@@strathman7501 hahahaha yes I was drunkies🤣
You Caught That, lol 😳
1967!!!!!
These guys don’t have a clue.
The Beatles quit touring in August 1966.
The doors are Not in the same realm of the Beatles
I gotta disagree with you on that. 😎 Give the Doors some love ... they maybe had a short career, but absolutely legendary albums in America.
He just said they have the sound at the beginning of I Am The Walrus is used in every single song of theirs? Uhhhh, what an ignorant statement. How many Beatles songs have you heard friend? They are known for having every song sound distinct!

Try the animals and see what you think.
People were always analysing Beatles songs for deep meaning so John wrote this with nonsense lyrics as a kind of joke to see what nonsense people wrote about it
One person is not impressed. He might like Black Pink..I do
John was challenged to write a song with completely nonsense lyrics.
Please react to blackpink kill this love
You have not listened to the Beatles from their beginning then you might understand their popularity and versatility I'm sorry to say but you are woefully ignorant of their work.
There’s no comparison to the point of the comparison is an insult to the Beatles and proves you have no taste
