She Said was actually he said. John was at a party tripping on LSD and the actor Peter Fonda said I know what’s like to be dead. It ruined John’s trip and he left the party… I hope you’ll react to Tomorrow Never Knows. Good job!
The best way to hear "The Beatles" for the first time is in order of release, beginning at the beginning. Otherwise and one misses the astonishing evolution from one release to the next. One never knew what to expect.
I've always loved this song a lot and feel it's one the best recordings they ever did. John's lead vocal is typically Lennon; the distorted guitars with that wonderful "flanging" sound they got at Abbey Road studios really fills the song up well. The perfect harmonies are the same as always! Ringo Starr's drumming contains those somewhat unusual syncopated rolls he's famous for which I love. The use of 3/4 time in the bridge is very John Lennon and The Beatles top the ending with a fade in 2/4 time. The Beatles were a fabulous band and their music holds up today the same as it did 50 years ago!
From the same album.... Check out Tomorrow Never Knows.... John wrote this based on a Ringo quote for the title. Great drums and very trippy,... Just one chord...
John wrote this after/about an LSD party at which Peter Fonda tried to "impress" John with his story of having been clinically dead at one point in his life.
The Beatles came up with so many great guitar riffs,this one,and your bird can sing,look up and your bird can sing,there's a tribute band that shows the best riff ever in my opinion
George played bass on this. Paul wasn't on SSSS at all. Paul, as quoted in Barry Miles’ Many Years from Now: "I’m not sure but I think it was one of the only Beatles records I never played on. I think we had a barney or something and I said, “Oh, fuck you!” and they said, “Well, we’ll do it.” I think George played bass".
"The Beatles were not a 'pop" band. "Pop" is short for "popular," as in "Pop Charts". It is not a "genre". The Pop Charts included not only "Beatles" but also lounge "crooners" and sometimes country and jazz. At the same time "the Beatles" were immensely POPULAR.
@@goranjarmar4135 That's what we've always believed, the story being that Paul had left after an almighty row and didn't play at all on She Said, She Said. Paul has said "I'm not sure, but I think" that was the case. But interestingly, the new remix notes say "Paul: bass". And the Take 15 live rhythm track with drums, bass and guitars shows Paul is there, joking with the others, and unmistakeably playing bass. So maybe it was after the finished rhythm track that the row occurred, with Paul then leaving before contributing vocal harmonies.
Many of their songs are quite edgy and dark under the luster of the surface sounds which is not uncommon for serious artists which they were not just pop entertainers. Agree about Ringo's drums. Very unique and under rated as a percussionist. Mesmerizing amount of talent in that group that was aided by state of the art and insightful production and psychedelics drawn to their right place right time lightening in a bottle opportunity.
An early favorite. When I was about 3, the human eyes on the graphic album cover freaked me out! I’m now 52 and still love love love this album. Make sure you do Abbey Road and the medleys all at once.
Ringo Starr is left-handed but his drums are set up right-handed so that unique 'delayed' sound is the result of him having to adapt. Good observation.
John Lennon: lead vocals and vocal harmonies, rhythm guitar, Hammond organ, Vox Continental George Harrison: lead guitar, bass, backing vocals Ringo Starr: drums
There is a story that Paul did not play on this. There was an argument and he left the session. Another story has it that his bass had already been recorded before he left.
Revolver is a classic album, I suggest "Got to get you into my life" next. One of the reasons the Beatles were so prolific was they were so musically diverse. 😃🏴👍
Love it. It was from a tripped out conversation John had with Peter Fonda. Might you listen to George's song "Only a Northern Song"? Also very trippy. Thanks, sir.
If you listen to Only A Northern Song check out the mix found on “Yellow Submarine Songtrack”, not the version found on the Yellow Submarine album. It is the only version in true stereo and sounds FANTASTIC!
@@labajadaman Thanks! I think I noticed that by accident the other day. I was listing to Spotify with headphones, and it did sound like a different mix, it had stereo features with other elements I had never noticed before.
@@labajadaman Thanks! I think I noticed that on Spotify by accident the other day. It had stereo features and other elements I had not noticed before. And check out Paul's incredibly busy and melodic bass lines. So fun.

You can hear some dialogue between Ringo, Paul and John before they begin playing.
You nailed it, dude. This is the Beatles at their best. Still had the quintessential Early Beatles sound with a hint of what was to come in the future. I should add that it is Lennon on lead vocal, with George on the harmonies. Paul is not featured in vocals. It is also rumored that George played the bass. Paul himself said in an interview that he got into a "barney" (a fight) over his bandmates teasing him about not wanting to drop acid. So he a said F U, and walked out. George picked up the bass in Paul's absence. There is a photo of George with a bass during the Revolver recording sessions. However, there is conflicting information in that the recording notes for the actual take mention Paul on bass. This suggests that Paul's memory was faulty. He might have in fact walked out, which explains why his vocals are not there. You're right. The bass really grooves, but in comparison to Paul's other work on Revolver, it is simplistic. In spite of the dispute, I think it is George on bass who certainly had the chops to create the bassline for this song.
She Said was actually he said. John was at a party tripping on LSD and the actor Peter Fonda said I know what’s like to be dead. It ruined John’s trip and he left the party… I hope you’ll react to Tomorrow Never Knows. Good job!

One of my many favourite Beatles songs.

Doesn't really matter WHEN you discover The Beatles, as long as you DO discover The Beatles.
Amen!
I suggest "Tomorrow Never Knows". George Martin regarded it as the Beatles' first breakthrough track.
I will have to check it out
A pop band? They are a LOT more than just a pop band.
John wrote this after/about an LSD party at which Peter Fonda tried to "impress" John with his story of having been clinically dead at one point in his life.
Thanks for the info.
Criminally underrated song, sheas of its time definitely I definitely get punk rock vibes
The Beatles came up with so many great guitar riffs,this one,and your bird can sing,look up and your bird can sing,there's a tribute band that shows the best riff ever in my opinion
Ringo's drumming makes this song
Spectacular song. Love the reaction. Ringo is a monster on this.
George played bass on this. Paul wasn't on SSSS at all.
Paul, as quoted in Barry Miles’ Many Years from Now:
"I’m not sure but I think it was one of the only Beatles records I never played on. I think we had a barney or something and I said, “Oh, fuck you!” and they said, “Well, we’ll do it.” I think George played bass".

At the same time "the Beatles" were immensely POPULAR.
for example…..Paul played LEAD guitar on Taxman.
But Paul is not playing at all on "She Said She Said", George is playing base.

@@strathman7501 Definitely sounds like Paul's touch on the bass.
Love this song.
This whole album is brilliant.

Real fast. This is the only song Paul didn't play or sing on. They got into a fight. Paul left the studio.

No Paul!

Funny. I've had lsd experiences as well as a near-death experience, so this song is like me arguing with myself.

When it was actually worth it to listen to the lyrics.......
please react to "Rain" is from the same period
Thank you for the suggestion. I will check it out.
@@apocketfulofheep Try to listen to the new version that just came out, the mix is very good and it sounds like a new song

Good memories with this song.

John is plucking those Trippy chord partterns on the Right Channel but Giles mixed John's Guitar very low!
Ringo's Cymbals sound very muffled!

This was recorded in one day and it shows on the part of George!
Recording Engineer Geoff Emerick used to get very upset with George because he always had difficulty laying down his Guitar solos!
He was mainly a chord player!
Paul McCartney should have been The Beatles Lead Guitarist!
Listen to "Rain"!
That's John and Paul on Guitars! George only contributed a very good Harmony Vocal on "Rain"
George contributes a very good Harmony Vocal and also plays Bass on "She Said She Said".
Paul McCartney stormed out of the session after an argument with John and George.

M’y favourite song.
Paul did not play bass on this. George did! Paul got into an argument with John and George and left the studio!
"When I was a boy, everything was right".
WE BLASTED THIS ONE IT WAS ONLY 1966THIS ALBUM WAS THE BEGINNU AND THIS WAS BEFORE HARD ROCK EXISTED
Someone was wrecking his trip. It's funny because "she" was Peter Fonda.
That is hilarious
