So, what makes George Harrison's opinion better than anyone else's???????????????????????????? Dylan? How many actual HITS did Bob Dylan have that many Americans liked? How many actually charted in the top 20? Top 10? ZERO. Other artists did Bob Dylan's significantly songs better than HE DID. So George favors CRAPPY music only when his friends write it. Kinda partisan, isn't it? Smokey Robinson? Who was listening to Smokey Robinson after the 60s? His songs were melodic and catchy but lyrically they left NO impact. He was irrelevant after the sixties and once he left the Miracles - they were too. (Elton John and Rod Stewart's time passed them by as well and we thanks them for their "heydays" and hope they just go away "gracefully") Stevie Wonder? Stevie Wonder had tons of support (everything from leading him to the keyboards to writing songs with a team) - especially from the Motown label. Further, he was a leftist shill with a typical Anti-America black church liberation ideology message. There's no artistic freedom and imagination in that. Excuse me if I don't subscribe to that. If George didn't like "Glam Rock"- FINE. But, bands of EVERY genre wore make-up, long hair, FEM jumpsuits and winged spaceship costumes - not just David Bowie. It was the STYLE of the day for musical groups. That FEM style continued into the 80s with the "Big Hair" bands long after Bowie was wearing (MENS') suits on his album covers. In short, this long time Beatles fan is tired of their outspoken opinions - as well as those stupid comments by other musicians. (Bruuuuce, Todd Runtgren) We should remember that musicians - like your average Hollyweird star - lives in tier own limited clan destined drugged-up perverted world and knows little of what's outside of it. They ARE NOT the most "educated" people or most informed people in the world. ("Bruce" and "Bon Jovi" "Runtgren" please understand you are really just dumbasses). Knowing how to play a guitar or any musical instrument for that matter - doesn't make you "smart". So, this longtime Beatles fan wished that George Harrison and John Lennon would've just 'SHUT-UP more often, concentrated for writing more songs and confined their unnecessary commentary to their lyrics.
Here is my favourite story about George. When he was pretty much dying in hospital in LA Ringo visited him. Ringo said I have to go to Florida my daughter is in hospital there. George looked highly concerned and said "Do you want me to go with you?" This is the real George. He cared about the things that mattered. Ringo was so sad because he knew George could not go with him. Delia Morris
@@michaelwalsh2498 Poor George was getting treatment on Staten Island, NY by a shady doctor who coerced him into signing his son's guitar. Awful story. George's family sued the doctor and they got a monetary award I believe.

Elton also played on Georges Cloud Nine album. Elton played with George at the Princess Trust Concert, George must of been in a bad mood when he was bashing Elton.
Bowie did a cover of a George Harrison song after Harrison’s passing. I’ve noticed that a lot of English artists have rifts with other English artists and then later become mates and/or work with them. Harrison said Elton was a great rock and roll pianist and had him play on his successful comeback album Cloud Nine, which was produced by ELO’s Jeff Lynn, who Harrison had ruthlessly mocked for copying the Beatles. Harrison mostly listened to American R n B artists in the 1970’s.
David Bowie played young american the entire LP three times in a row and Paul told him to play something else after the second time then he played it for the third time and John told him to play something else and David got insulted May Pang told John to be more civil and John said that he had to tell David the truth as Paul got annoyed shows how much John cared about Paul when he was away from Yoko...
Elton is usually willing to work with everyone. Unfortunately David Bowie never cared for him and made snide comments about him. These people are all my favorite musicians. So much talent!

They really did . Elton and Rod have been friends forever and George most likely joined in just to get it out there that he was saying they were crap too 😂 Bowie was another gazillionaire rock star who didn't escape a grilling by Harrison and probably countless others .
George Harrison lamenting the decline of music back then? If he were alive today he'd go back to his grave in disgust! Back then there were still amazing artist despite the fact that some of them were not of his liking. Music today is a cheap recyclable nonsense commodity.

Come on. The guy is crying about BOWIE, of all people, so how "in touch" was he? The fact is, I'd take Bowie's work over just about ANY of Harrison's solo work. The only thing of Harrison's that I really hold in high regard is "All Things Must Pass." On the other hand, I could sit here and rattle off the names of GREAT Bowie albums all day.
@@pkmcburroughs I know that but I'm talking about the utter decline in music today. What do you think a George Harrison would say about this cesspool of degeneration today including political correctness would feel for someone so honest as George was? Bowie is a legend there's no doubt about that.

Some people are simply content to soak up whatever is presented to them without putting in even a smidge of effort to FIND something of quality in virtually a sea of choices, and then delude themselves into thinking they have a firm grasp on the entire musical landscape. There has been soulless, crap music in existence ever since there's been music. If you could point out the era when this wasn't true, I'd love to hear about it. Oh, and how is music both "degenerate" and "politically correct" at the same time...? Go check out Julia Holter, for example. She's making music TODAY and she's excellent, despite all the degeneration and nonsense you mentioned.

Makes sense… any spiritual person would understand how crazy and fucked up this world is! Just look at the music right now and their message. We need to get outta of here! George lived such an intense life and was done with this material world. All these artist use their bodies and egos for fame, not music.
He was a crap guitarist., who happened to be a genius songwriter. Also an asshole in his own right. Same for Pete Townsend Roger Daltry and every rock singer that bashes the audience for pot smoking, they can all go phuck themselves
@@HDN1956 there is a funny story that Harrison tells when he was there He looked at Clapton when Neil started to play as if to say, "is that you, Eric?" and Clapton looked at Harrison with a "don't look at me mate, it isn't me!" look...lol they both thought Neil's playing was crap. That said, Young is a good acoustic player and more of a songwriter than guitar extraordinaire. That said his leads on Ohio and Like a Hurrican fit those songs perfectly.
People in the past few years seem to almost worship Bowie for some reason… I mean growing up in the 70s and 80s people like his music but did make him out to be something he was not
Bowie was loved because of Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust but after that he would only have a few good songs at best on his albums. 200 million albums shows not just weirdos love hims. He's sold enough to be 36 on all time list of best selling artists.
Why is one musician panning others called "honesty". I guess it is, but IMHO it's also rather short sighted. Saying it doesn't appeal is one thing, calling it bad is another.
This was done a lot back in the 60s with shows of artists spinning records of other artists and critiquing them. People were not so soft back in the day. There's a channel with lots of them called Yesterdays Papers. Here's one with Frank Zappa - ruclips.net/video/kGOitikmRcE/видео.html
I had heard that Harrison had praised Bowie to colleagues. Also.. seems odd that Bowie would devote this kind of cover to someone so disdainful. ruclips.net/video/Svpv6UHA-dw/видео.html
I think the Elton one is out of context. I suspect George was not a fan of all the Glam Rock stuff, but Elton has said that George was the first Beatle to reach out to him after Your Song was released and doing well in the charts. I strongly suspect George is a fan of Elton's work right up to Honky Château, but did not care for things like Crocodile Rock, Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting, Bennie and the Jets etc.....
@@clark82 That's what I'm thinking too! I kind of share the same opinion, except I love many songs on the albums those tunes came from, the ones that didn't get radio airplay.
@@clark82 Ginger Baker said he didn't like musicians dancing around on the stage, Ginger said he liked Hendrix but didn't like his suggestive movements on stage.
Elton talks about being helped in his early days by many people like being introduced at the troubadour by Neil Diamond, finding the Band waiting for him in his dressing room being taken on tour by Leon Russell and George sending him a telegram.
@@mjk45 everyone talks like John Lennon found/discovers Elton, but Elton has said in interviews that he was closer to George and more so Ringo before he met Lennon
Saw Bowie in 2004. He was masterful in a torn denim tuxedo. The audience was given hours of a wide variety of music from across his storied career. Genius. George missed out. We all did. He should have listened to his friend.
In the mid-70's I didn't like Bowie but my girlfriend did. She bought me a ticket to a Spider's from Mars concert. I became an instant fan. Later on in the late 80's I bought tickets for three nights of Bowie and every night was amazing.
George was right. He came from Liverpool and people there don't mince their words. I'd say his observations about Elton John and Rod Stewart were bang on and I'd say that Bowie, who really got things together in his later career, in his earlier was dilettante and eclectic. George was never a showman or an entertainer and I don't really think he understood that side of the business. If he did he made no attempt to join it.
Wtf bro , we're not talking about Taylor Swift or Nikki Monage here . We are talking about the inventive collab between Bernie Taupin and Elton John who singlehandely gave us album after album of gold records , packed stadiums and number one hits you dont have enough fingers or toes to count them all . And isnt it a bit of the pot calling the kettle black when George enjoyed year after year in a band that made formulaic music with lyrics "thrown together" wiz and out comes a song ? I love the amazing Beatles and I admire Elton (not so much Rod) and I give credit where credits due . George was just jealous . He should have admitted that he didn't move early enough on leaving the fab four so he could have done his own thing sooner
@@TheJpep2424 I'm not saying he didn't feel that way. Or that he wasn't a genius and created some of the greatest music ever made. But to discount the entire catalog of David Bowie over some fashion preferences shows his lack of understanding of what Bowie did for rock music. Harrison has some amazing work with the Beatles, Badfinger, Cream, and the Wilburys for sure. And his fusion with Indian music was groundbreaking and changed rock history. But Bowie truly eclipsed him as a solo artist and produced more consistently original and diverse work than Harrison ever did, Elton John as well. So in my opinion it was nonsense for him to discount their contribution to an exciting path in rock music that he himself helped to originate.
Harrison was actually the first Beatle to reach out to Elton John after his first single was released, and Elton would work on Harrisons Cloud 9 album (and appear in the video), so I would not say he didn't like him.... probably liked his early work, and did not care for his Glam Rock stuff..... Stewart is not really something Harrison is alone on within the Beatles, as Lennon is pretty scathing of him in a interview (claims Stewart ripped of Don't Let me Down).
"... probably liked his early work..."(referring to El John's). This could be said for Harrison's music as well. A good portion of the time with the Beatles his work was new and fresh and his first solo album, "All Things Must Pass" is legendary. But anything other than that was distinctly subpar (certainly in comparison to Elton John's extensive catalog of great music combined with BT's great lyrics). Harrison's work after his first solo album was, well, dismal, and the work he did with the "Traveling Wheelborrows" was just embarrassing. He admitted many times that he did not practice his guitar for years on end. Compare that to Jeff Beck, who had a guitar in every room so that whenever he sat down he could play and practice. Though trying for many years to look like the person who was just "doing his thing" and above the petty fray, Harrison was actually more like Lennon, in the sense that he always carried a chip on his shoulder and never missed a chance to diss other performers.
He was a big fan of the Band and probably saw tumbleweed connection being Elton and Bernie being unoriginal and trying to imitate the Band, rather than seeing it as paying homage to someone they were fans of, like Crocodile rock was in their eyes anyway homage to Daddy Cool and their song Eagle Rock.
@@mjk45 George was probably a fan of Elton’s work up to Honky Château… he was probably disappointed with Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player, and cared even less for Yellowbrick Road… as to George that was probably where it became more about the show, rather than the music
George and John were open to the Rutles, and George especially liked to clown around with the guys. The Rutles parodied the Beatles. George had a good sense of humor, but had some shortcomings. We all do.
I agree with the formulaic idea. It permeates the music industry. Art has become an assembly line product like any other offered product on the shelf. Has been for a while now.
@@AnneDowson-vp8lg how is Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Someone Saved My Life Tonight formulaic? And tons of other songs that they wrote like Tiny Dancer and Funeral for a Friend? And Your Song which I still hear over 50 years later and it’s still fresh imo. 🙄
If George Harrison hated Jeff Lynn why did he play with him in the band The and why would George's son have Jeff to play with him to pay tribute to his Father? Just saying!!!!
This video said nothing about any disdain or criticism George Harrison had for Jeff Lynne, front man for ELO. George and Jeff are historically known to have always been friends. George Harrison only picked the musicians that he admired and respected the most to form the Traveling Wilburys.
Although I do not agree with George's philosophy/spirituality, I greatly admire his expression of it. And I greatly admire his guitar talents. A little bit of light left this world when he died. My wife and I were at an Eclipse Event the other day at SUNY Plattsburgh on Monday, and as the sun began to reappear, the DJ played "Here comes the Sun", and although I expected that song to be played, it brought a tear to my eye. There was such a great connection between the Science, nature, music and Donna....my 4 favorite things.
George was like John in that respect. He came as off as bitter because of that. Ironic, considering George was always extolling the virtues of love and kindness.
Harrison wasn't quiet at all. He spoke his mind and gave his opinions. He was overshadowed by Lennon and McCartney in the press but he didn't hold back. He never wanted to perform live again as a Beatle. During the "Let it Be" sessions, Paul wanted to end it with a live performance in front of an audience. George barely agreed to just play on the rooftop of Abbey Road studios. He had been traumatized by Beatlemania and he was willing to play with other guys live but not as the Beatles.
George Harrison was my favorite Beatle. He was very spiritual in his chosen India style and adding India style instruments. I enjoyed him most when he was one of the traveling willburys. This was a blessing to sing with Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynn. And very creative using fictional first names and using Willbury as the last name.
I love Harrison and all The Beatles but apparently Ringo was the only one who was ever told the old trope "If you don't have anything nice to say......".
Harrison was a master. He was demanding of himself as well as others. I remember Shakira saying, 'I don't understand why, if something can be good, it can't be perfect' and I think that was Harrison all over.
Have to agree about Bowie, he manufactured himself by copying lesser artists around him and fooling the public as being original. He would climb over anyone to get to the top and kick them out of the way once he reached it…..ask Mick Ronson.
Absolutely true. Lots of people actually pointed that out - Bowie was simply a skilled thief, little more besides. This sect around him is really shameful.
Every artist is a thief, I’m sure George was inspired by many cultures and artists he doesn’t mention. George was talking about bowie variety and for some reason sexuality, nothing wrong with experimenting, If George doesn’t like it… ok
George sure disliked a lot of people…seems odd since he was supposedly into spirituality. He didn’t always display a positive attitude and was often negatively opinionated towards other artists and people. Strange.
It is generally people who are the most in need of spirituality that get into it but it doesn't make all of their negative traits just disappear. The negative side just slowly weakens.
George and John of the Beatles often criticized other artists, as did Keith Richards of the Stones. George famously said in the '90s that a hundred years later, no one would remember the Spice Girls or even U2. There never seemed to be a shortage of egos and opinions back then...
In Elyon John's defense...... I saw Jim interviewed. He said his is a good songwriter and average piano player. He has very short fingers that limit his range. Ironically, I also saw Billy Joel say the exact same thing.
@@francus7227 I may be wrong of course but i've read Mozart was a small man with small hands and that he even had to play special keabords with very soft action. I think he never played piano as we know it today but rather ± 60 notes keabords with leaner keys - approximatively similar to those of say, a Rolland synth. As for Elton john, he indeed does'nt have a long reach and uses close packed chord inversions but his playing his very strong rythmically and perfecly coordinated - I saw him live 'round 1983 and he blew me and everyone else in the audience away with his solo number : A boogie-woogie of witch he doubled three times the speend as he went.
He didn't like Oasis neither the Spice girls in other interview he criticized Pete Townsend and if you remember the Anthology special features he complains that last Elvis shows in Vegas were pathetic with those horrible Choir girls screaming "I did it myyy Waaay"
I tend to not believe these articles about who musicians did and didn't like when those statements are not made by the musicians themselves. Elton John plays on Harrison's album "Cloud 9".
I love music but honestly the stars are all strange. They are not to be put on a pedestal. George was a philanderer and had demons just like the others, you don’t have affairs with your mates wife if your vibrating on a higher spiritual consciousness do you. And as for Bowie and Jagger well if you know, you know what I’m talking about. When you become famous you have pretty much lost your true identity, you become someone else.
George never claimed to be above others quite the opposite, he was born spiritual. Really lovely man with faults like us all, they are not on pedestals. Admiring is not putting on a pedestal. Delia Morris
While agreeing with his assessment of those three, (I can't really stand them either) I'd have to say his music got boring after the album All Things Must Pass, though, like Lennon, he did manage a catchy tune from time to time after. McCartney was the most consistently palatable producer of the four but was played out after his Wings days.
Elton John in 1976: formulaic ... four chords ... mix them up ... add some lyrics ...? George can't have been listening too carefully to Elton's singles from 1969 to 1976. And dare I mention 'Ding Dong, Ding Dong'...? 🧐
George was always bitter in later years that he was outshone by the other three during their heyday. He ended up bad mouthing a lot of people and downplaying the Beatles success.
Don’t think George really got the fact that for David Bowie the role play and appearant lack of identity WAS being honest. Bowie was a postmodern artist to a level not seen before in rock/pop music. It takes a strong personality to live with the insight that you have no identity😉 But Harrison had a right to his opinion and I surely like & respect him very much too...
So all this poison he had to spew for other artists is touted as "depth of character" and "integrity and honesty"... Too bad he was not, artistically, worthy of tying Bowie's shoe-laces.
Got Cloud 9 for Christmas in 76. Best gift ever! I was never a Bowie fan per se, yet, 'The man who sold the World' is my fave song of the 70's, and 90's (Cobain). Go figure?!
He also slagged McCartney - while in the Beatles and out. He seemed to have a lot of insecurities… Slagging all these artist who were far superior to what he put out as a solo artist.
In the late 70s George admitted he didn't like disco or punk/new wave music and it would have been dishonest of him to play it. Elton, Bowie, and Stewart had no problems dabbling in disco music. Even Paul and Wings embraced new wave /disco similarly Johns comeback album Double fantasy sounded more musically relevant than Georges solo efforts at that time.
I liked it when George ripped the whole rap garbage in the 80's and 90's (saying "it's all the same, once you here one guy TALK" lol) - as opposed to some, like Steven Tyler sucking up to it. Greg Allman also ripped on rap. God bless em!

I just re-read the 1981 interview with John and Yoko in Playboy. Seems that John Lennon was not a big fan of George. He felt that George was ungrateful.
Ringo is actually a lil bit the quite Beatle bc he just drums and stands there and in some music videos he just stands there being quite while in some videos george was dancing and playinf his guitar singing
The corporate music machine has killed contemporary music. It's all by formula today and the best of it might make for decent elevator music. The underground music scene is where the art lives on, albeit, in relative obscurity.
Elton John saw him when he first hit NYC in the sixties. He was in my world and a very talented musician. Otherwise, totally agree with George Harrison, Bowie, and Stewart I disdained. Harrison was brilliant and seemed like an angry guy. Sorely missed and the glue that kept the Beatles kicking ass!
Let us not tarnish the legacy of the Band that has brought us the most beautiful music of our times. These negative write ups on George and John, or even on Paul are senseless to say the least. Leave the image and memories as it was and let the music play on! Look yourself in the mirror!

There has been soulless, crap music in existence ever since there's been music. If you could point out the era when this wasn't true, I'd love to hear about it.
Oh, and how is music both "degenerate" and "politically correct" at the same time...?
Go check out Julia Holter, for example. She's making music TODAY and she's excellent, despite all the degeneration and nonsense you mentioned.
BINGO! How about the masked singer LOL?
Harrison has been described as two people - 1. Kind and caring 2. Self righteous ass.
I figure many of us are much the same in that regard.
From what I could see, that also describes McCartney and Lennon as well. Still brilliant though.
David Bowie played young american the entire LP three times in a row and Paul told him to play something else after the second time then he played it for the third time and John told him to play something else and David got insulted May Pang told John to be more civil and John said that he had to tell David the truth as Paul got annoyed shows how much John cared about Paul when he was away from Yoko...
George Harrison liked Stevie Wonder's music? I admire him even more now.
You hardly find someone in any genre, from Rock to Jazz, who doesn't respect Stevie Wonder.
@@zaziou711 Because Stevie is a musical genius.
I'd like to hear what George said. Perhaps there's something taped or written down? No? I didn't think so.
Yes, I agree. Some solid sources, and as you say, audio clips, would be helpful.
For someone so spiritual he seemed to have a lot of bitterness and resentment.
Cancer does change people's temperament and view of life. Knowing that he wouldn't lived long made him envy the living.
@@takarifan He was like that long before the cancer
Makes sense… any spiritual person would understand how crazy and fucked up this world is! Just look at the music right now and their message. We need to get outta of here! George lived such an intense life and was done with this material world. All these artist use their bodies and egos for fame, not music.
Most “spiritual” people do
I know, right?!? but he delivered his arrows with such inner piece.
George was not shy about his dislikes . He also said he thought Neil Young was a crap guitarist.
Must explain why Young often called on Eric Clapton to upgrade guitar leads.
He was a crap guitarist., who happened to be a genius songwriter. Also an asshole in his own right. Same for Pete Townsend Roger Daltry and every rock singer that bashes the audience for pot smoking, they can all go phuck themselves
Now I see why they were standing on opposite stage ends at Bobfest.
@@HDN1956 there is a funny story that Harrison tells when he was there He looked at Clapton when Neil started to play as if to say, "is that you, Eric?" and Clapton looked at Harrison with a "don't look at me mate, it isn't me!" look...lol they both thought Neil's playing was crap. That said, Young is a good acoustic player and more of a songwriter than guitar extraordinaire. That said his leads on Ohio and Like a Hurrican fit those songs perfectly.
@@pb12661 Oh yeah, what a funny story....
People in the past few years seem to almost worship Bowie for some reason… I mean growing up in the 70s and 80s people like his music but did make him out to be something he was not
Why bother with Bowie when there was Zeppelin and Floyd etc?
Yes he had some good albums in the 70s, but his fans seem like members of a weird cult or something.
There is David Bowie and then there is George who?
Bowie was loved because of Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust but after that he would only have a few good songs at best on his albums. 200 million albums shows not just weirdos love hims. He's sold enough to be 36 on all time list of best selling artists.
Dude I know all about David Bowie I am over 50!I wasn’t born last night
Are you nuts? He loved Elton. Elton played on Cloud 9. He wouldn’t have asked him to if he didn’t like him.
Why is one musician panning others called "honesty". I guess it is, but IMHO it's also rather short sighted. Saying it doesn't appeal is one thing, calling it bad is another.
This was done a lot back in the 60s with shows of artists spinning records of other artists and critiquing them. People were not so soft back in the day. There's a channel with lots of them called Yesterdays Papers. Here's one with Frank Zappa - ruclips.net/video/kGOitikmRcE/видео.html
I had heard that Harrison had praised Bowie to colleagues. Also.. seems odd that Bowie would devote this kind of cover to someone so disdainful. ruclips.net/video/Svpv6UHA-dw/видео.html
You can say what you like with 50 microphones shoved up your arse every second of the day .
They're guys , they dont care 😂
George was fond of Elton. He played live with him, included him on his "Cloud Nine" album, and called him fun and great.
I think the Elton one is out of context. I suspect George was not a fan of all the Glam Rock stuff, but Elton has said that George was the first Beatle to reach out to him after Your Song was released and doing well in the charts. I strongly suspect George is a fan of Elton's work right up to Honky Château, but did not care for things like Crocodile Rock, Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting, Bennie and the Jets etc.....
@@clark82 That's what I'm thinking too! I kind of share the same opinion, except I love many songs on the albums those tunes came from, the ones that didn't get radio airplay.
@@clark82 Ginger Baker said he didn't like musicians dancing around on the stage, Ginger said he liked Hendrix but didn't like his suggestive movements on stage.
Elton talks about being helped in his early days by many people like being introduced at the troubadour by Neil Diamond, finding the Band waiting for him in his dressing room being taken on tour by Leon Russell and George sending him a telegram.
@@mjk45 everyone talks like John Lennon found/discovers Elton, but Elton has said in interviews that he was closer to George and more so Ringo before he met Lennon
Saw Bowie in 2004. He was masterful in a torn denim tuxedo. The audience was given hours of a wide variety of music from across his storied career. Genius. George missed out. We all did. He should have listened to his friend.
In the mid-70's I didn't like Bowie but my girlfriend did. She bought me a ticket to a Spider's from Mars concert. I became an instant fan. Later on in the late 80's I bought tickets for three nights of Bowie and every night was amazing.
Bowie was not a genius. He was a very good accountant.
@@gomezaddams4347 that's Madonna
George was right. He came from Liverpool and people there don't mince their words. I'd say his observations about Elton John and Rod Stewart were bang on and I'd say that Bowie, who really got things together in his later career, in his earlier was dilettante and eclectic. George was never a showman or an entertainer and I don't really think he understood that side of the business. If he did he made no attempt to join it.
Wtf bro , we're not talking about Taylor Swift or Nikki Monage here . We are talking about the inventive collab between Bernie Taupin and Elton John who singlehandely gave us album after album of gold records , packed stadiums and number one hits you dont have enough fingers or toes to count them all .
And isnt it a bit of the pot calling the kettle black when George enjoyed year after year in a band that made formulaic music with lyrics "thrown together" wiz and out comes a song ?
I love the amazing Beatles and I admire Elton (not so much Rod) and I give credit where credits due .
George was just jealous .
He should have admitted that he didn't move early enough on leaving the fab four so he could have done his own thing sooner

@@TheJpep2424 I'm not saying he didn't feel that way. Or that he wasn't a genius and created some of the greatest music ever made. But to discount the entire catalog of David Bowie over some fashion preferences shows his lack of understanding of what Bowie did for rock music. Harrison has some amazing work with the Beatles, Badfinger, Cream, and the Wilburys for sure. And his fusion with Indian music was groundbreaking and changed rock history. But Bowie truly eclipsed him as a solo artist and produced more consistently original and diverse work than Harrison ever did, Elton John as well. So in my opinion it was nonsense for him to discount their contribution to an exciting path in rock music that he himself helped to originate.
Agreed. The whole channel is nonsense.
Harrison was actually the first Beatle to reach out to Elton John after his first single was released, and Elton would work on Harrisons Cloud 9 album (and appear in the video), so I would not say he didn't like him.... probably liked his early work, and did not care for his Glam Rock stuff..... Stewart is not really something Harrison is alone on within the Beatles, as Lennon is pretty scathing of him in a interview (claims Stewart ripped of Don't Let me Down).
"... probably liked his early work..."(referring to El John's). This could be said for Harrison's music as well. A good portion of the time with the Beatles his work was new and fresh and his first solo album, "All Things Must Pass" is legendary. But anything other than that was distinctly subpar (certainly in comparison to Elton John's extensive catalog of great music combined with BT's great lyrics). Harrison's work after his first solo album was, well, dismal, and the work he did with the "Traveling Wheelborrows" was just embarrassing. He admitted many times that he did not practice his guitar for years on end. Compare that to Jeff Beck, who had a guitar in every room so that whenever he sat down he could play and practice. Though trying for many years to look like the person who was just "doing his thing" and above the petty fray, Harrison was actually more like Lennon, in the sense that he always carried a chip on his shoulder and never missed a chance to diss other performers.
He was a big fan of the Band and probably saw tumbleweed connection being Elton and Bernie being unoriginal and trying to imitate the Band, rather than seeing it as paying homage to someone they were fans of, like Crocodile rock was in their eyes anyway homage to Daddy Cool and their song Eagle Rock.
@@mjk45 George was probably a fan of Elton’s work up to Honky Château… he was probably disappointed with Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player, and cared even less for Yellowbrick Road… as to George that was probably where it became more about the show, rather than the music
George spoke his mind but wasn't mean spirited. It's important to understand the Brit sense of humor
He liked Dylan, Petty, Orbison
Makes sense.
Wow, he shoulda formed a band with them, eh? 🤔
Jeff Lynne was also a member of supergroup Traveling Wilburys
George and John were open to the Rutles, and George especially liked to clown around with the guys. The Rutles parodied the Beatles. George had a good sense of humor, but had some shortcomings. We all do.
I agree with the formulaic idea. It permeates the music industry. Art has become an assembly line product like any other offered product on the shelf. Has been for a while now.
Someone's comment is missing ... Not mine, hopefully. 🍻😎 🤔
*Ars Longa. Vita Brevis.*
@@RHR-221b Boney ass kanutey.
But Elton John and Bernie Taupin were never formulaic. Every song was different.

yeah, so did I.😐
AGREED. Some MEN age well. wo-MEN? LOL.
My fav era of George is my pfp the bangs the mustache and long hair was PERFECT
I would like to add that I find it interesting that the quiet Beatle collected loud hot rod cars.
You forgot to add that he wasn't impressed with the Beatles. Or Mozart.
If George Harrison hated Jeff Lynn why did he play with him in the band The and why would George's son have Jeff to play with him to pay tribute to his Father? Just saying!!!!
Wasn't mentioned
This video said nothing about any disdain or criticism George Harrison had for Jeff Lynne, front man for ELO. George and Jeff are historically known to have always been friends. George Harrison only picked the musicians that he admired and respected the most to form the Traveling Wilburys.
Although I do not agree with George's philosophy/spirituality, I greatly admire his expression of it. And I greatly admire his guitar talents. A little bit of light left this world when he died. My wife and I were at an Eclipse Event the other day at SUNY Plattsburgh on Monday, and as the sun began to reappear, the DJ played "Here comes the Sun", and although I expected that song to be played, it brought a tear to my eye. There was such a great connection between the Science, nature, music and Donna....my 4 favorite things.
George was a walking contradiction. But, so what?
Exactly my thoughts . Going on about formulaic songs 🙄
George was like John in that respect. He came as off as bitter because of that. Ironic, considering George was always extolling the virtues of love and kindness.
Harrison wasn't quiet at all. He spoke his mind and gave his opinions. He was overshadowed by Lennon and McCartney in the press but he didn't hold back. He never wanted to perform live again as a Beatle. During the "Let it Be" sessions, Paul wanted to end it with a live performance in front of an audience. George barely agreed to just play on the rooftop of Abbey Road studios. He had been traumatized by Beatlemania and he was willing to play with other guys live but not as the Beatles.
George Harrison was my favorite Beatle. He was very spiritual in his chosen India style and adding India style instruments. I enjoyed him most when he was one of the traveling willburys. This was a blessing to sing with Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynn. And very creative using fictional first names and using Willbury as the last name.
Because they celebrated THE SHOW: Themselves - with music as a vehicle. Harrison loves music.
How odd then that Bowie's music is head-and-shoulders above anything that Harrison did as a solo artist, with the exception of "All Things Must Pass."
I love Harrison and all The Beatles but apparently Ringo was the only one who was ever told the old trope "If you don't have anything nice to say......".
McCartney never trashed other artists.
@@Accam570 He recently said the Stones were just blues band and nowhere near the Beatles......
@@Accam570 He wasn't too fond of Michael Jackson buying the Beatles' catalog.
Man was hard to impress 😆
Harrison was a master. He was demanding of himself as well as others. I remember Shakira saying, 'I don't understand why, if something can be good, it can't be perfect' and I think that was Harrison all over.
He also disliked U2.
@@promerops a man of taste, then.
@@RodFleming-World I certainly think so!
@@RodFleming-World Come on, Elton, Bowie and Rod did some great work in the 70's.
Have to agree about Bowie, he manufactured himself by copying lesser artists around him and fooling the public as being original. He would climb over anyone to get to the top and kick them out of the way once he reached it…..ask Mick Ronson.
You clearly know very little about Bowie, and I can't be bothered to educate you.
Absolutely true. Lots of people actually pointed that out - Bowie was simply a skilled thief, little more besides. This sect around him is really shameful.
@@mrbenn1489 You're clearly lazy and full of shit.
Lol can’t ask Mick Ronson, he’s dead (RIP)
Every artist is a thief, I’m sure George was inspired by many cultures and artists he doesn’t mention. George was talking about bowie variety and for some reason sexuality, nothing wrong with experimenting, If George doesn’t like it… ok
Is why George Harrison and Tom Petty got along so well, and became best friends
Could it be that he didn't see Petty as a threat?
Amazing......You talk about those you have never met !
It's called GOSSIP !
George sure disliked a lot of people…seems odd since he was supposedly into spirituality. He didn’t always display a positive attitude and was often negatively opinionated towards other artists and people. Strange.
It is generally people who are the most in need of spirituality that get into it but it doesn't make all of their negative traits just disappear. The negative side just slowly weakens.
Harrison once said he ‘vengled averdant chrome’ but nobody knows what he meant and it’s possible he was misheard as he was always so soft spoken.
Among his myriad accomplishments, most important to me, he produced the film “Withnail & I”.
George and John of the Beatles often criticized other artists, as did Keith Richards of the Stones. George famously said in the '90s that a hundred years later, no one would remember the Spice Girls or even U2.
There never seemed to be a shortage of egos and opinions back then...
In Elyon John's defense...... I saw Jim interviewed. He said his is a good songwriter and average piano player. He has very short fingers that limit his range. Ironically, I also saw Billy Joel say the exact same thing.
Mozart had very short fingers too...
@francoislecanadien1710
Not according to Google, "Medium sized hands with long slender fingers.".....
@@francus7227 I may be wrong of course but i've read Mozart was a small man with small hands and that he even had to play special keabords with very soft action. I think he never played piano as we know it today but rather ± 60 notes keabords with leaner keys - approximatively similar to those of say, a Rolland synth. As for Elton john, he indeed does'nt have a long reach and uses close packed chord inversions but his playing his very strong rythmically and perfecly coordinated - I saw him live 'round 1983 and he blew me and everyone else in the audience away with his solo number : A boogie-woogie of witch he doubled three times the speend as he went.
Elton John is above average as a piano player. I've watched his Central Park and other BBC concerts online.
@jdenino6022
Really?
That isn't my opinion. That is what Elton John said. Are you really going to argue with him about music?
SO we only get a talk-over !? .. where any words can be put in Harrison's mouth .. why believe any of it ..
google it
Bowie couldn't figure out if he was Arthur or Martha.
George is entitled to his opinions and was correct
Bowie owed lots of people money including my dad
He didn't like Oasis neither the Spice girls in other interview he criticized Pete Townsend and if you remember the Anthology special features he complains that last Elvis shows in Vegas were pathetic with those horrible Choir girls screaming "I did it myyy Waaay"
he was right on all accounts
I tend to not believe these articles about who musicians did and didn't like when those statements are not made by the musicians themselves. Elton John plays on Harrison's album "Cloud 9".
I love music but honestly the stars are all strange. They are not to be put on a pedestal. George was a philanderer and had demons just like the others, you don’t have affairs with your mates wife if your vibrating on a higher spiritual consciousness do you. And as for Bowie and Jagger well if you know, you know what I’m talking about. When you become famous you have pretty much lost your true identity, you become someone else.
It gets to their head. George definitively was on a higher plain than most other musicians, but he also was corrupted by fame
@@josephesposito3499 He was no better than anyone else, and worse than many. 'Higher plane'! Sure. You know him. Same goes for Carlos Santana.
What would you rather ? Get paid handsomely for your creativity or go slug it out at some mundane "job" 9 to 5 with weekends off your whole life long
George never claimed to be above others quite the opposite, he was born spiritual. Really lovely man with faults like us all, they are not on pedestals. Admiring is not putting on a pedestal. Delia Morris
My favourite Beatles. Wonderful man.
While agreeing with his assessment of those three, (I can't really stand them either) I'd have to say his music got boring after the album All Things Must Pass, though, like Lennon, he did manage a catchy tune from time to time after. McCartney was the most consistently palatable producer of the four but was played out after his Wings days.
NO, Harrisons LAST album Braindead was unusually beautiful. Listen to Pices fish. BEAUTIFUL! Very folky & Indian
He wrote Something that is all we need to know.. Delia Morris
Elton John in 1976: formulaic ... four chords ... mix them up ... add some lyrics ...?
George can't have been listening too carefully to Elton's singles from 1969 to 1976.
And dare I mention 'Ding Dong, Ding Dong'...? 🧐
George was always my favorite Beatle.
You said so never heard George speak ill of anyone RIP George god bless
George was always bitter in later years that he was outshone by the other three during their heyday. He ended up bad mouthing a lot of people and downplaying the Beatles success.
George was more the envious Beatle than the quiet one, drowning in insecurities.
Saw the Fab Four three times. George was my favourite; he had integrity.
Ringo's vibrant personality !!! WTF ? I never knew he had one
Don’t think George really got the fact that for David Bowie the role play and appearant lack of identity WAS being honest.
Bowie was a postmodern artist to a level not seen before in rock/pop music.
It takes a strong personality to live with the insight that you have no identity😉
But Harrison had a right to his opinion and I surely like & respect him very much too...
He was telling the truth about these artists
Funny, I never liked them either! Hahaha He might have been a little critical at times, but he was honest.
So all this poison he had to spew for other artists is touted as "depth of character" and "integrity and honesty"... Too bad he was not, artistically, worthy of tying Bowie's shoe-laces.
Got Cloud 9 for Christmas in 76. Best gift ever! I was never a Bowie fan per se, yet, 'The man who sold the World' is my fave song of the 70's, and 90's (Cobain). Go figure?!
He also slagged McCartney - while in the Beatles and out. He seemed to have a lot of insecurities… Slagging all these artist who were far superior to what he put out as a solo artist.
Loved the Rutles, especially “tragical history tour” and “piggy in the middle”.
I’m a huge Beatles fan, but without doubt George would have changed his views over time. Just a snapshot.
He wasn't wrong.
In the late 70s George admitted he didn't like disco or punk/new wave music and it would have been dishonest of him to play it. Elton, Bowie, and Stewart had no problems dabbling in disco music. Even Paul and Wings embraced new wave /disco similarly Johns comeback album Double fantasy sounded more musically relevant than Georges solo efforts at that time.
If you watch the Let It Be Documentary Ringo Starr was actually the quiet beatle.
The engineers at the Abbey Rd studio said Ringo hardly ever said a word there
Elton featured on cloud 9 album so cant have been that bad
Sounds like George was a good judge of character to me !
Find myself forced to agree with George, and I could never understand why John saw fit to collaborate with those two fruits.
I liked it when George ripped the whole rap garbage in the 80's and 90's (saying "it's all the same, once you here one guy TALK" lol) - as opposed to some, like Steven Tyler sucking up to it. Greg Allman also ripped on rap. God bless em!

I think George knew how to shake things up a bit. Bashing Elton John, David Bowie and Rod Stewart was good for keeping their ego's on the ground.
Pretty sure George wouldn't have shilled for big pharma. Or Bowie for that matter.
So he derided Elton for being too formulaic but Bowie for not being formulaic enough? Consistency precludes much innovation.
I like George even more now.

Anyone remember he he said "hello William" when McCartney came into the room?
I just re-read the 1981 interview with John and Yoko in Playboy. Seems that John Lennon was not a big fan of George. He felt that George was ungrateful.
His inadvertent cover of "He's So Fine" and the ensuing repercussions definitely had to have humbled him a bit.
I don't think he was a bad judge of character and musicality. 😄
Ringo is actually a lil bit the quite Beatle bc he just drums and stands there and in some music videos he just stands there being quite while in some videos george was dancing and playinf his guitar singing
Bernie Taupin wrote Elton John's best songs.
Everyone’s got opinions and no one’s perfect.
The corporate music machine has killed contemporary music. It's all by formula today and the best of it might make for decent elevator music. The underground music scene is where the art lives on, albeit, in relative obscurity.
I can't believe it.Elton John collaborated at his album Cloud Nine in 1987.
I'd be curious of his opinion re Queen and Freddy Mercury, or Elvis Costello
George is my favorite one.
All the Beatles would be working to get justice for Johnny if they were still here.
Elton John saw him when he first hit NYC in the sixties. He was in my world and a very talented musician. Otherwise, totally agree with George Harrison, Bowie, and Stewart I disdained. Harrison was brilliant and seemed like an angry guy. Sorely missed and the glue that kept the Beatles kicking ass!
Brain the size of a marble lol omg I can’t stop laughing at that one that was a cold 🥶 crush 😮
It was actually a compliment. A marble is rather big in a world of small brains.
I love George the most. Legendary curmudgeon. 😂❤
Let us not tarnish the legacy of the Band that has brought us the most beautiful music of our times. These negative write ups on George and John, or even on Paul are senseless to say the least. Leave the image and memories as it was and let the music play on! Look yourself in the mirror!
If George were still alive today, he’d be praying to go back to 3rd Eye Blind’s heyday compare to modern mainstream music.
