He was brutally honest and that was actually a fault of his. Many of his comments just sound like sour grapes and much of what he did in the name of being brutally honest, hurt other people (i.e., when he slept with Ringo's wife more than once).
In the later years of the Beatles, obviously John and Paul had their little rivalry, but George's ideas weren't always put forward. It's a horrible feeling knowing that you live in your own friends' shadow and remember that John, Paul and George have known each other since the Quarrymen days. Rest in Peace ✌️
I think too once the touring stopped songwriting became a more important endeavor as well as source of income. After all what are you going to do? Just practice and record the other Beatles music?
Yes, they HAD to stop touring. It wasn't safe for them, or for the manic fans and security. But, trying to perform a concert was a farce. I think in a interview George said, We couldn't hear ourselves, fans couldn't hear. We could have just stood there pretending and no one would ever know.
@Purpleakiindahouse During that time EVERYONE was sleeping with everyone else. Beatle or not. And I'm not saying it was right. It is kind of strange who they all finally settled down with. John w Yoko~she owned him from the get-go. George married beautiful Patty Boyd, but when he embraced his spirituality they both knew it was falling apart. Clapton was around often and they knew they wanted to be together. George gave his blessing because he liked Eric and loved Patty. He knew they would have something he couldn't give her anymore. He did find his love Olivia and had their sweet boy Dhani. When I watched the Concert for George, I cried watching Dhani. It was like watching young George. Paul was with beautiful Jane Asher for a long time but Linda was home for him and a great person to take him through his loss of the band. He probably took that loss the hardest. And, Ringo!😅 He married the gorgeous Bond girl, Barabra Bach. I think they are going on 40 yrs?Children, probably grandchildren by now. Ringo and his All~Star Band. Rock on Ringo😊
George, when Ringo spoke of you was Sad ,but beautiful. He had to see you then go to America to be with his daughter due to surgery. You are missed so much. Love to George Harrison.
I understand how George must have felt being in a band with John and Paul. I'm glad he got over his chip though. He experienced marvelous spiritual growth in his brilliant life.
I understand it too!! Imagine being in one of the greatest bands in the world feeling like you’re unheard, most of the time. George and Ringo were just as important, and impressively talented as John and Paul. We ALL know, without the four of THOSE specific guys, there wouldn’t be the Beatles! Period.
@JimMorrison-ld2zh George is my favorite, but he struggled with being a Beatle in multiple ways. John and George definitely had chips on their shoulders. Paul and Ringo, not so much.
To anyone who thinks the Beatles would have been the same without George, consider removing these songs from the Beatles catalogue: While my guitar gently weeps, Here comes the sun, something, taxman, I me mine, within you without you, if I needed someone, think for yourself and then tell me he wasn’t important.
You missed Love You To, I Want To Tell You, Long Long Long and Don't Bother Me. All songs I think are excellent but get very little attention. Don't Bother Me should have been on the new Red lp instead of Roll Over Beethoven. It's a great song. Minor key, introspection, a darker edge, basically a grunge song in scope; quite visionary for the time.
I literally don’t know how George could honestly say 80% of John and Paul’s songs were “overrated”, especially with George having no problem whatsoever cashing those checks from Apple Records and earning 150 million dollars as a Beatle, having written only about 5% of the entire Beatles’ song catalogue. Very disappointing to hear this from George, IMO, who unfortunately blossomed as a great songwriter a bit too late in the lifespan of The Beatles. It’s quite simple. Had George written more and better songs from 1963 - 1967, more of his songs WOULD have appeared on Beatles’ albums. Paul and John weren’t preventing George from writing more and better songs. He simply wasn’t as great of a songwriter as John or Paul, but then again, who is? It’s George’s fault he befriended two of the world’s greatest songwriters and agreed to join their band as lead guitar player. If he was so miserable and felt so thwarted as a songwriter as a Beatle, he could’ve quit the band at any point mid-60s and either gone solo or could’ve formed a band with his good friend Eric Clapton. But George DIDN’T quit the band. He was liking a little too much those million dollar checks that he kept receiving, largely off of John and Paul’s songwriting genius. May George Rest in Peace👏🏼💙. Just like John, Paul, & Ringo, none of the Fab Four were perfect, including George. And I’ll always be a huge “Beatle George” fan and an even bigger fan of George’s solo career😊.
What George said about John not wearing his glasses and making people feel like he didn't like them . Very true I personally had the same thing happen with my nieces when they stopped in they told their mom , my sister . That uncle didn't like them . Funny how we humans are so much alike !
It's the way they were promoted. I was not around during their days, so I could only ever go by what was said by media, DJ's and so on. I agree with George. He was George, then he was s Beatle with hismusic. The other two were Beatles with solo careers.
People tend to be not like what John and George have to say about The Beatles because those two would say what was in their minds no sugar coated. But those people tend to be forget that George and John were in that band and that gives them an absolute legit perspective to comment. Paul and Ringo most definitely have things they don’t like about The Beatles but they would never comment them publicly. All 4 personalities are valid, these people were and are all human beings.
George was both blessed and cursed to be in a group with two incredibly talented songwriters who both had large egos. His later success came about in part because he had been one fourth of the Beatles. 😊
Every great band spends ridiculous amounts of time with each other, often more than with their families if they have them. Too much time with anyone, even your lover, your kids, what ever wears on ya. I love hot fudge Sundays, but I'd be sick of them if I had them everyday for months. It's that way with your mates & the songs you have to play incessantly. Then you have a couple musical geniuses like Paul & John that gush songs like faucet water & it's hard for lay back guys like George to get anything in edge wise.
We could analyze everything all the Beatles say and will say, and never fully understand the relationship between them, or what it was like. Long Live John, Paul, George and Ringo.
It's John, Paul, George, and Ringo purposely. Paul was introduced to John by their mutual mate, Ivan Vaughan. Paul met George on their school bus and brought him to John. George was the major force behind replacing Pete with Ringo, whom they had all known from playing in Hamburg in the early 1960s.
@@DavidVRubio you do know Paul had just come out of short pants. A kid. George even more so. His art college friends couldn’t believe he was even taking to them. Paul desperately tried to look older and cooler. It was like John was robbing the cradle. In a few short years it didn’t matter.
John and Paul struck gold when they met each other. There was a point when George and Paul were about to give up on music. George were about to become an electrician, and Paul would work with electric coils. Lennon called Paul and said, either you come to this upcoming gig, or you´re out of the band. Yes, Lennon could make that call, because contrary to another common lie, Lennon was the leader of the Beatles. As Ringo said in an interview the hierarchy was John, Paul, George, Ringo. Paul decided to go to the gig. This was right before the big break. So without Lennon´s early drive, Paul and George probably would´ve been unknown. So I don´t appreciate your condescending comment, that John was the one that got lucky somehow. Of course Paul and George contributed alot, they´re brilliant. But do not put down Lennon, who was the key person in The Beatles.
I believe there would have been some sort of reunion in the making, for sure! I had a dream, (before John was killed), that they went on one last big tour. They got together in the early 80s, and they toured the UK and America for one last big blast of the past. They just played random songs at every stage..even took requests. Omg..it was awesome! The BEST part about it was, we could actually HEAR them play and sing! No huge amounts of screaming little girls. I’m not sure about a total come-back, but I’m pretty certain we might have had a reunion. But then, yeah..John was sadly taken from us! I’m still soooo 🤬about it.. ❤
I doubt they ever would have had a complete reunion. Their legend had grown so much that they'd be competing against crazy expectations. They were all well established in their solo careers by the time John was murdered.
There is only so much room in one band for creative input. They didn’t need more songs. They had two of the greatest songwriters in pop history. George was also a great writer, but it wasn’t his band. As it turned out, he had plenty of success after the breakup, and that can’t ever be denied.
He was fundamentally a guitar player. While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Something rely on the chords to carry them through. The melody is scant. The decending note through the chords, carries the day on these songs. He was not a great songwriter. He had a few nice ones, though. Nor was he a great singer. His role as guitar player, fit him. After The Beatles, he could have pooped on a record and rabid Beatles fans would have bought it. Sales in this context is more a measurement of a group attitude than the musical talent of a man.
George was always my favorite Beatle. He was a genius in choosing words wisely, controlling his emotions/temper and of course his own music. His music had more substance to it than the light music of McCartney or the nuttiness of John’s. Both Paul & John let their wives control them while George was always his own person. I respect that quality and love his music.
How is I scrolled down only to see Ringo speaking about George, the same thing I just said , in my previous post. I just thought it was odd , weird , being A Beatle. Karma ???
As odd man out I’m so glad George didn’t wind up like Brian Jones, also alienated from the power duo in his group. George’s songs and singing were integral to their sound.
George was not a natural singer. However he was a natural guitar player. He wrote songs that had the melody line leapfroging from chord to chord. They were not strong, melodically. When he wrote Something, the chords carried the day. There was a decending note within the chords, on a significant part of it. This decending note through the chords, is what gave the song interest (not the melody line.) Paul could liberate himself from the chords and soar with the melody. George could not do that. He was not nearly the songwriter that Paul was, but he deluded himself into thinking that he was. Lennon could also liberate his melody from the chords. It's simple: John and Paul were simply better songwriters. George did not like that fact, because it gave John and Paul power. George was a good guitar player, and within his limits (writing like a guitar player writes, commonly) wrote some nice tunes. The general public has little understanding of the structure of music. Rap sells humungous amounts of recordings, but most people wouldn't consider it great music (if it is even music at all.) George sold a lot of records, but just sales alone is not an indication of brilliance. Look at how many paintings Van Gough sold in his life. If sales were a criteria he'd would have been thought of as a bad painter. George lied to himself when he compared his songwriting talent with Paul and John's.
If George ever had anything bad to say about his bandmates it would be headline news because he didn't just up and try to stab someone in the back with a crude or hurtful comment. He simply played his guitar and if his opinion was needed he'd chime in
Let’s not forget George Martin’s role in “holding” Harrison down. He was a company (EMI) man whose job it was to sell records. Why break with the proven Lennon/McCartney formula of massive success? I’m speaking from Martin’s perspective.
As a songwriting meritocracy, the Beatles were probably a fair band. But being a songwriter in a 4 man band with Lennon McCartney is probably the hardest songwriting job in the world.
George Harrison was a very, very accomplished musician. Lennon and McCartney were light years ahead of Harrison (and other musicians) in terms of composing, though.
Man........ just to see them play one more time. They probably would have. John said that the only way they'd get back together was to save the world. Unfortunately, John died in December of 1980. 😢
@@terrydean3173 Remember they would not let him put his songs on albums he was limited to two. Something was as good as anything John and Paul did. George was also writing on his own. Take all of that into account. That's my argument. We all have our opinions, I respect yours.
I think his ego got tramped on a but in the first years. But he was very quiet amd polite and didn’t tell John or Paul how he felt about wanting ti wrote songs where John and Paul were emotionally and socially strong , outspoken lads. And since the recipe for popular , loved by many songs worked they used that dynamic for mist of the first years. Them frogs came in smd ringing and John got lazy not practicing and Yoko being there the dynamic changed. They or the strongest hardest working one in those days Paul let George’s songs on a couple albums. But besides Yoko screwing up John s as d John bejng week minded but he was very intelligent just emotionally wanted ti be led friends wise -Paul amd rumanticslly by Yoko. They split Yoko was now the leader in John’s life and apparently Paul was getting such of her interfering with their songwriting and froendship he couldn’t take it amymore It was losing its favor so ti speak smd they were all wanting ti give in different directions in life amd styles. The frogs certainly didn’t do any good.
In numbers, Paul and John made more fantastic songs than George, but almost all Georges songs were amazing and beyound that ... And the "leaders" made lots and lots of so so songs
Every band I've been in is like that; someone or a small segment of the band, take over and the rest end up with no avenue to be creative...thats when it's time to go.
John and George are the "culprits" for the breakup of the Beatles. After the trip to India, they arrived as completely different people, they desperately wanted a breakup. The reason I hate them. But life is full of surprises. I like their solo work the most. ♥️👍✔️🎶
You said it. George was a reasonably good guitar player. He was a mediocre singer, and a mediocre songwriter. He got lucky. Yes, he did. Keep it real, you guys. The hero worship stuff, here is very present in the comments.
@@KenTeel He was hardly a mediocre song writer, and he sang fine, with every note on pitch, with good tone. When he sang harmony, he sounded like John and Paul. Keep it real indeed.
John and Paul wrote 99% of the Beatles music. They were geniuses. George was very jealous and very bitter about John and Paul writing all the songs, so George always tried to downplay them, and he always tried to undermine them. Even though George didn't write hardly any of the Beatles music, he wanted the full benefits of the money that came with John and Paul's efforts, and it was those 2 that did the hardest work in the Beatles. George just wanted to have free handouts from all the hard efforts of John and Paul's composing of the music,🎶 and George also put them down the rest of his life.

Nope!

He was not nearly the songwriter that Paul was, but he deluded himself into thinking that he was. Lennon could also liberate his melody from the chords. It's simple: John and Paul were simply better songwriters. George did not like that fact, because it gave John and Paul power. George was a good guitar player, and within his limits (writing like a guitar player writes, commonly) wrote some nice tunes. The general public has little understanding of the structure of music. Rap sells humungous amounts of recordings, but most people wouldn't consider it great music (if it is even music at all.) George sold a lot of records, but just sales alone is not an indication of brilliance. Look at how many paintings Van Gough sold in his life. If sales were a criteria he'd would have been thought of as a bad painter. George lied to himself when he compared his songwriting talent with Paul and John's.
I could not imagine George was insecure, what a great musician and guitarrist! Tô me, the quintesencial Beatle was Ringo!
If George ever had anything bad to say about his bandmates it would be headline news because he didn't just up and try to stab someone in the back with a crude or hurtful comment. He simply played his guitar and if his opinion was needed he'd chime in
Statistics as moving bubbles, gestalt cubes, thought clouds, indexed pamphlets, bridge-work matrix stepping stones
George thought like that about himself, but the whole world thought he was just as great as John and Paul bcs his songs are fantastic!
The Beatles were more than the 4 as a whole plus George Martin. It would be overwhelming for any single one.
Everything happened fast for the BeatlesTheir maturity needed to catch up😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
The funny thing is my favorite tunes were written by George.
George got rich playing Paul and John's songs
George had the best sonfs and most successful career, post Beatles
You know a group is special when a songwriter as good as Harrison is only the third best-known songwriter in the band.
Ha! Ha! John was blind as a bat! Funny story by George!
All of you 🎸 made the group
He is talk true
If anything I think George has a great as John and Paul or even better
Let’s not forget George Martin’s role in “holding” Harrison down. He was a company (EMI) man whose job it was to sell records. Why break with the proven Lennon/McCartney formula of massive success?
I’m speaking from Martin’s perspective.
Can't agree with George, there is no such thing as a bad Beatles number. The Beatles were all four, not just two.
As a songwriting meritocracy, the Beatles were probably a fair band. But being a songwriter in a 4 man band with Lennon McCartney is probably the hardest songwriting job in the world.
A 20% success rate is fantastic for any band
George Harrison was a very, very accomplished musician. Lennon and McCartney were light years ahead of Harrison (and other musicians) in terms of composing, though.
Man........ just to see them play one more time. They probably would have.
John said that the only way they'd get back together was to save the world.
Unfortunately, John died in December of 1980. 😢
George's opinions, for me at least, carry a lot more weight than those of John and Paul.
George looked amazing during his time in The Beatles, what an image!
George was a humble human being he never forgot his roots. His song writing eventually came to John's level of brilliance. George was my favourite. 🙏🏿
George brilliance was probably equal to Ringo Nowhere near John
@@terrydean3173 Remember they would not let him put his songs on albums he was limited to two. Something was as good as anything John and Paul did. George was also writing on his own. Take all of that into account. That's my argument. We all have our opinions, I respect yours.
my Fav 🐝 💍 GO!
Best ex Beatle
George rarely complimented Paul. It was nice to hear him say something positive about Paul.
I think his ego got tramped on a but in the first years. But he was very quiet amd polite and didn’t tell John or Paul how he felt about wanting ti wrote songs where John and Paul were emotionally and socially strong , outspoken lads. And since the recipe for popular , loved by many songs worked they used that dynamic for mist of the first years. Them frogs came in smd ringing and John got lazy not practicing and Yoko being there the dynamic changed. They or the strongest hardest working one in those days Paul let George’s songs on a couple albums. But besides Yoko screwing up John s as d John bejng week minded but he was very intelligent just emotionally wanted ti be led friends wise -Paul amd rumanticslly by Yoko. They split Yoko was now the leader in John’s life and apparently Paul was getting such of her interfering with their songwriting and froendship he couldn’t take it amymore It was losing its favor so ti speak smd they were all wanting ti give in different directions in life amd styles. The frogs certainly didn’t do any good.
Harrison would be part of the 20%!
But then again George, Those overrated songs bought you Friar Park.
Where did you get this interview from?
George’s interviews are all over you tube. As are all of them. Better than a book. Check out what they said at the time. Enlightening.
80% were overrated? No.
That's his bitterness showing... again.
In numbers, Paul and John made more fantastic songs than George, but almost all Georges songs were amazing and beyound that ... And the "leaders" made lots and lots of so so songs
What interview is this taken from?
Every band I've been in is like that; someone or a small segment of the band, take over and the rest end up with no avenue to be creative...thats when it's time to go.
They didn't take over... they were the team that made the Beatles famous.
George couldn't except he was not as brilliant as John and Paul and was rightfully the Third cog in the band .
Truth is that the Beatles could have existed without George and Ringo. They could not have existed without John or Paul.
but.. it would not have been what it was. don't under estimate George and Ringo's contribution.
We can tell that you're not a musician. George and Ringo were crucial in the formation of the Beatles as a band a cohesive unit musically
I guess you had to be there ( then)
😂
That's hilarious, people always assume
John and George are the "culprits" for the breakup of the Beatles. After the trip to India, they arrived as completely different people, they desperately wanted a breakup. The reason I hate them. But life is full of surprises. I like their solo work the most. ♥️👍✔️🎶
Absolutely not 80% overrated 😮
George was the luckiest guy in the world...simple as that.
You said it. George was a reasonably good guitar player. He was a mediocre singer, and a mediocre songwriter. He got lucky. Yes, he did. Keep it real, you guys. The hero worship stuff, here is very present in the comments.
@@KenTeel He was hardly a mediocre song writer, and he sang fine, with every note on pitch, with good tone. When he sang harmony, he sounded like John and Paul. Keep it real indeed.
Him and Ringo just happened to be at the right place at the right time and he shouldn't be complaining but be proud
John and Paul wrote 99% of the Beatles music. They were geniuses. George was very jealous and very bitter about John and Paul writing all the songs, so George always tried to downplay them, and he always tried to undermine them. Even though George didn't write hardly any of the Beatles music, he wanted the full benefits of the money that came with John and Paul's efforts, and it was those 2 that did the hardest work in the Beatles. George just wanted to have free handouts from all the hard efforts of John and Paul's composing of the music,🎶 and George also put them down the rest of his life.
you haven't got your glasses on you can't see anything
@@ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511I see perfectly well. George Harrison actually admit it what I commented on, so I do have proof.
