Similar to the fabled "...in a band before Wings" question. Back in the early '80s, I bought a copy of Wings Greatest Hits at a Target. The young girl checking me out said "Hmm, Wings, I never heard of them." I said "It's Paul McCartney! He used to be in the Beatles!" She's getting aggravated now. "I KNOW who Paul McCartney is. What? Was this a band he was in before the Beatles?"
The Beatles are the Mozarts and Bachs of the Twentieth century. There were none that could compare with their songwriting talents. Their musicianship was average, but their innovation was stratospheric. Their imagery, melody, and harmonic sensibilities went unmatched and most will say still are until this day.
Musicianship was actually their strongest trait. The chemistry all four of them had was palpable. The smart one, the quiet one, the goofy one, and the cute one. I’ve never seen another band like it.
I think Paul and Ringo are usually rated among the greatest instrumentalists of their own instruments. George too but like someone said, he tended not to do long solos.
I raised my now 26 year old daughter on the Beatles. Growing up when I’d drive her around in the car I’d quiz her on which Beatle was singing what song, and she got really really good at that. And then she went away to college and when she came home for Christmas she couldn’t get even ONE RIGHT. After her last failed attempt I told her she just cannot go thru life thinking that particular skill is unimportant. She just shrugged. HOWEVER... I used to watch her best friend after school since they both were 3 years old and the friend is the one who picked up on my love of the Beatles. And the friend has already made sure her 4 year old got the bug too .So life is good haha.
@@meooowww3672 I started listening to them seriously when I was 15 years old, in 1970. Before then, I was aware of them, but it wasn't until Let It Be got my attention in 1970 that I started buying their albums. That was life-changing.
"And Your Bird Can Sing", "Revolution", "Taxman", "Rain", "Paperback Writer", "Helter Skelter" ... lots of screaming guitars! Eric Clapton plays the lead on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and the live version of "Yer Blues" from The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. Spectacular!
"Back in the USSR," "Birthday," "Savoy Truffle," "Glass Onion," Ballad of John and Yoko." All great get you moving Beatles tunes. You've really delved in deep but damn this rabbit whole runs deep!!
My dad was at Mayfair Towers and heard the shots. We considered them distant friends. Even salvaged a Christmas card from Yoko and Sean that my dad had the common sense to save. :-(
I was 6 and lived in the city...I remember walking into my apartment building with my parents...ill never forget this guy coming out and telling my parents John was just shot and killed...we were blocks away....that was the first tragedy that I can remember in my life...ill never forget that moment
"Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime." Gotta be my favorite John line ever. This song is funny as hell. The story behind it has probably been told in the comments already so I won't repeat it.
As someone with a life long love of the Fabs it’s so satisfying to see them praised by all in future generations. I was 15 when they broke up and expected them to fade away to history. Your praise and reaction is deeply moving to this grandpa.
Don't listen to this guy telling you to listen to the live version, which is not the Beatles. Listen to the original version. Also, you might like a song called "Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey"
@@zetmoon Correct. I was referring to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute, not the Concert for George tribute. I got the two confused - but then when is any versin of this song bad?
Young man, it's pleasing to me to see how much you're into their music....It warms my heart....The Beatles taught my generation through their music how important it is to love your follow man....They are the greatest band that ever lived....You should have seen how popular they were back in the day....Girls were going stone crazy over them......(I promise)... a thousand years from now...The Beatles will still be relevant.
I was out hanging with my “homies” in early 80’s listening to Beatles among others from 60’s and 70’s. Back in my day many of us listened to our parents music.
Nobody could do it quite like The Beatles....others could get close, but there was that special magic and chemistry between those four guys that has NEVER been repeated.
If you play the second side of Abbey Road, from Because to The End, you will have an out of body experience! It’s the zenith of the Beatles recordings. They knew it was their last album and they pulled out all of the stops!
That showed their genius - making gold out of sweeping from the floor of unfinished ideas as they wrapped up and cleared up before leaving without leaving a mess
The White Album and Abbey Road are their best albums ever imo. Abbey Road because of the way it flows together. The definition og an album. Plus the first side has absolutely brilliant songs. The white album because it's a collection of all them, with their individual skills and tastes, at their peak. It might not flow together, but that's the point. It's just a masterclass list of the best band ever.
I am a Beatles fan. I went to music school to learn bass performance because of hearing The Beatles. I bought and almost memorized "The Beatles: Complete Scores". "Sexy Sadie" is one of their greatest compositions (not just lyrics, instrumentation or theory); It is efficient.
Love watching you react to The Beatles as you travel through their incredible catalogue. It’s really amazing seeing how you learn how great they were. Changed music forever. Keep it going man!
The White Album was their best IMO. Such a great variety of eclectic songs that were very specific to the individual Beatles. Keep digging into it Haze, your mind will continue to be blown 💯💯💯💯
Billie Eilish said Happiness is a Warm Gun is the first song she ever performed in front of people at her school. lol --- The was inspired when John Lennon was at a magazine stand and he saw a gun magazine that said, "Happiness is a Warm Gun". Where that slogan came from is from Peanuts, Snoopy & Charlie Brown. Charles Schultz who created Peanuts came up with the slogan "Happiness is a Warm Puppy" referring to Snoopy and that slogan became popular and got used in different ways. This a John Lennon song and he sings the main vocals and the rest of The Beatles sing backup vocals.
This and Rocky Racoon, from the White Album (actually self Titled Beatles album) are songs ive loved since i was 8 years. Now, looking back, what amazes me is how they made such amazing, ground breaking music like this...in thier MID-TWENTIES!
The Beatles suddenly became so big in the 63, 64 and 65. Beatlemania appeared. They had their unbelievable fame and success globally and they could have just stuck to what they did at the moment and enjoyed life, but they didn't. I'm really really really glad they didn't. They kept learning, exploring and evolving in their music. Their music grew, so did their fans, who have learned to appreciate better music
A Lennon masterpiece. The Beatles rehearsed this song for hours and hours to shape it and perfect it. This is a start to finish take. I've noticed HB you haven't reacted to early Beatles music. Songs like 1963's Twist and Shout and You Really Got A Hold On Me. Or 1964's Rock And Roll Music. The connection you are making with The Beatles, starts with these songs. The songs the Beatles loved to perform, before they were THE BEATLES. Fantastic reaction HB, RNB
This and strawberry fields are my best ever. This song arrangement blows my mind. The way it constantly changes but still works effortlessly together. Amazing man.
Another thing that’s amazing is that everything you hear was in a 6 year period. They just kept banging out the music and then as suddenly as they appeared, they were gone. They left behind a mountain of music and accomplishments that will never be equaled. You can bet the farm on that.
Lennon said he wrote the song because it was on the cover of a gun magazine . Ironically he was shot to death in front of his apartment in New York December 1980
Great selection Man. Happy music travels....PS..."Give "Everybody's Got Something To Hide except For Me and My Monkey" a try when you get a chance...great cowbell!!!
I'm a musician and I was doing a jazz gig. And then I went back and work with some other jazz cats. And there seems to be a saying amongst them on who is the greatest in music history. And they always say Bach Beethoven Beatles
Ye ma’am indeed ! That drumming by Ringo in the end just gets me every time , a little long for the medley but a damn good suggestion nevertheless! Bravo !!!
I was 11 when this album came out. I knew when I heard it, I was hearing something incredible, something unlike anything that had come before. The Beatles were wordsmiths, capturing the events of the day in words, fire before we assigned the word fire to music...
A hard rocker Beatles song from that same album. Please, react to "Everybody has something to hide except for me and my monkey". That song is extreme 🔥 fire!
There was a book by Charles Schultz (creator of "Peanuts") called "Happiness Is A Warm Puppy," that used the "Happiness is..." theme throughout it. It was published a few years before this song, and I think it influenced the title.
Sort of. There was a piece in a rifle magazine called “Happiness is a warm gun” which directly inspired John. The name of the article is based on the peanuts book.
Sort of. There was a piece in a rifle magazine called “Happiness is a warm gun” which directly inspired John. The name of the article is based on the peanuts book.
The lyrics to this song are so strong; This was John's reaction, to seeing an advert in a US magazine, that read... "Get ready for the Long Hot Summer, Happiness is a Warm Gun"... The idea that having a gun, to kill people would make you happy, stayed with john..... I also use to wonder how john knew, about working overtime, while in a dream, "lying with his eyes, while his hands are busy working overtime".... And; "Multicoloured Mirrors on his hobnail boots".... the fashion of putting an extra shine on your boots, Military style..... Before we even talk about the guitar.......
Love how John incorporated sexual references so seamlessly. If memory serves me correctly, there is like ten time changes! This is the song that helped to save the Beatles! With all the tension during the White Album sessions. Interestingly, the song wasn’t complete. John was suffering from so many continuous hours playing the guitar, he was finding it hard to play...having to settle on what we know, not what he was aiming for!
Absolutely love your reaction to these great Beatles songs, you totally get them. Would you believe you’ve only scratched the surface? You’re in for one hell of a ride my friend, enjoy!
A unique, trippy Beatles song is "Tomorrow Never Knows". There are two types of people in the world: those who love "Tomorrow Never Knows" and those who haven't heard it.
I believe that I have commented on your reaction to this. The story behind the whole thing- lyrics, innuendos, not to mention (I believe) over 70 takes, the editing, etc. is insane.
Check out Yer Blue and Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for me and my Monkey 🐒. Love the White Album and another great REACTION to the Beatles! Fire, FIRE, FIRE! Call out the Fire Department 🚒🚒🚒🔥🔥
What you just listened to is like 53 years old, and You got it brother it's next level shit, I am happy for you that in 2021 you get the experience of discovering this band one song at a time.
I really liked the inspiration for this song. I don't think I fully understand everything this song does as it seems to go into a few different topics but it was inspired by a bit of culture shock they experienced while in the US. They were seated in the waiting room of a music studio looking at magazines when John was struck by the cover of a gun enthusiast magazine that featured a Father and Son smiling at a shooting range and read "Happiness is a warm gun". Although the idea of a Father teaching a Son to use a firearm and bonding over it is or at least was normal in American culture it was a foreign concept to them.
Thom Yorke said this tune inspired him heavily with the early music of radiohead. And 50-odd years later this song is still very weird and out there. Sounds like a modern band
HazeBruv ... you are just describing the phenomenon that the Beatles are from the sky with diamonds even w/o a Lucy. I am old already but it makes me warm that young ppl still detect this very thing. I am happy that I was on a Macca-Concert in Hamburg in 2003. I am unhappy that I never could see Lennon. - If you are interested: They often are compared with Franz Schubert, who only reached 31 years (1797-1828). But he wrote incredible stuff, too.
Once I got stuck on The White Album and listened to it for months. One of the greatest array of songs ever produced. You have many many more great things to explore. Have fun.
your on the same musical trip, we took 50 years ago.... after a light of a smoke...w/ headphones in hand.....off to never-never land .......its sooo hard not to drink their kool-aid .. and w/ the Beatles ........... A musical vibe of creativity thrived thru-out the 60's,70's,
There's a movie called, 'Across the Universe'. It's all Beatles music done in an operatic manner to tell a love story. The video part where they do 'Warm Gun' will knock you out! Great movie.

George's solo is legendary in the first transition. Probably my favorite lick from the whole album.
Dear prudence and this is epic tbh the white album is just a masterpiece
The best bass line ever. McCartney at his best musically.
If only there wasn’t so much filler. If they cut down the album to like 15 songs, it’d legit be perfect
No it’s not, it’s full of bad songs, with a few good ones. Abbey Road is the masterpiece.

I actually learned to like every single song on the White album (even Revolution 9) in the last month when I really got back into the band. So my take has slightly changed. Still think a shorter album would’ve been better
1. Back In The USSR
2. Dear Prudence
3. Glass Onion
4. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
5. Happiness Is A Warm Gun
6. Martha My Dear

You never have to convince someone to love the Beatles, you just have to play them for them
I have a friend whose daughter said to me - “did you know Paul McCartney was in a band”.
Similar to the fabled "...in a band before Wings" question.

You mean Kanye West didn’t discover McCartney, who knew? ; ) (sarcasm)
That's funny as hell.
He was in a band? I had no idea

Yes. You play a fine bass and are old like all the rest of us “Meet the Beatles” fans/musicians.

Musicianship was actually their strongest trait. The chemistry all four of them had was palpable. The smart one, the quiet one, the goofy one, and the cute one. I’ve never seen another band like it.
I think their musicianship is underrated because they don't do 15 minute guitar solos
I have heard "serious music" aficionados argue that Lennon and McCartney are the finest British composers of all time.
I think Paul and Ringo are usually rated among the greatest instrumentalists of their own instruments. George too but like someone said, he tended not to do long solos.
Bring On The Lucie!!
They were so far ahead of their time. This is a great group effort on this song with amazing Lennon vocals.
I'm at the age where I have grandchildren that need to be Baptized in Beatles music. I have a new granddaughter who loves them.
I raised my kids on The Beatles and now my grandkids.
I raised my now 26 year old daughter on the Beatles. Growing up when I’d drive her around in the car I’d quiz her on which Beatle was singing what song, and she got really really good at that.

It’s never too early to begin the indoctrination. Lucky grandchildren- they’ll love you for it!

Birthday is a fun song like zeppelins Fool in the rain they both rock
The end of Back in the USSR transitions great into Dear Prudence.

This is such a fabulous song. One of my favorites. I love the background lyrics: "Bang, bang, shoot, shoot."
If you are a fan of guitars, check out Yer Blues or While My Guitar Geently weeps
Yeah, I was thinking Yer Blues. While My Guitar is a good one too.
Helter Skelter too.

You nailed it. The Beatles are special. No one like them ever since the beginning of the classic rock era, which they helped start.

I'd suggest the live version from the George Harrison tribute. It has Prince on the ending solo.
Don't listen to this guy telling you to listen to the live version, which is not the Beatles. Listen to the original version. Also, you might like a song called "Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey"

The entire White Album from1968 was AMAZING! Love it! 🎶🎶🎵🇨🇦🇨🇦
I think this is Lennons most impressive composition ever ever ever PERIOD! Absolute genius at the times standards! One of the best ever Beatles songs
This song is complex. It has about 5 sections
This and strawberry fields are my best ever. This song arrangement blows my mind. The way it constantly changes but still works effortlessly together. Amazing man.
They once held the top five spots on the billboard top 40 , not sure anyone else has ever done that before or after, that’s how great they were
Yeah. April fourth 1964. Still a record.
It's never been done again, not before or after the Beatles.
Another thing that’s amazing is that everything you hear was in a 6 year period. They just kept banging out the music and then as suddenly as they appeared, they were gone. They left behind a mountain of music and accomplishments that will never be equaled. You can bet the farm on that.
Lennon said he wrote the song because it was on the cover of a gun magazine .
Ironically he was shot to death in front of his apartment in New York December 1980

In my opinion one of the best Beatles songs
The part with the heavy riff, where that organ comes in sounding like a nightmare carnival or merry go round because John needs "a fix" is awesome.

The lyrics to this song are so strong; This was John's reaction, to seeing an advert in a US magazine, that read... "Get ready for the Long Hot Summer, Happiness is a Warm Gun"... The idea that having a gun, to kill people would make you happy, stayed with john..... I also use to wonder how john knew, about working overtime, while in a dream, "lying with his eyes, while his hands are busy working overtime".... And; "Multicoloured Mirrors on his hobnail boots".... the fashion of putting an extra shine on your boots, Military style..... Before we even talk about the guitar.......
One of my 3 fav Beatles songs. I love the message, I love the last part, especially "bang bang shoot shoot" backing vox. Sucha underated tune.
Listening to your excitement reminds me how I felt when I discovered Beatles song I never heard before.
Love how John incorporated sexual references so seamlessly. If memory serves me correctly, there is like ten time changes! This is the song that helped to save the Beatles! With all the tension during the White Album sessions. Interestingly, the song wasn’t complete. John was suffering from so many continuous hours playing the guitar, he was finding it hard to play...having to settle on what we know, not what he was aiming for!
Absolutely love your reaction to these great Beatles songs, you totally get them. Would you believe you’ve only scratched the surface? You’re in for one hell of a ride my friend, enjoy!
I dig that you're playin Beatles for your boys! Spread the gospel of John, Paul, George and Ringo!
A unique, trippy Beatles song is "Tomorrow Never Knows". There are two types of people in the world: those who love "Tomorrow Never Knows" and those who haven't heard it.
I believe that I have commented on your reaction to this. The story behind the whole thing- lyrics, innuendos, not to mention (I believe) over 70 takes, the editing, etc. is insane.
Check out Yer Blue and Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for me and my Monkey 🐒. Love the White Album and another great REACTION to the Beatles! Fire, FIRE, FIRE! Call out the Fire Department 🚒🚒🚒🔥🔥
Right on!
♥ that fuzzy mini solo too. One of my fave songs off maybe my fave Beatles album
You make feel good videos, you're funny and express yourself excellently.
Haze cracks me up. He gets such a blast from the Beatles.
What you just listened to is like 53 years old, and You got it brother it's next level shit, I am happy for you that in 2021 you get the experience of discovering this band one song at a time.
I really liked the inspiration for this song. I don't think I fully understand everything this song does as it seems to go into a few different topics but it was inspired by a bit of culture shock they experienced while in the US. They were seated in the waiting room of a music studio looking at magazines when John was struck by the cover of a gun enthusiast magazine that featured a Father and Son smiling at a shooting range and read "Happiness is a warm gun". Although the idea of a Father teaching a Son to use a firearm and bonding over it is or at least was normal in American culture it was a foreign concept to them.
Thom Yorke said this tune inspired him heavily with the early music of radiohead.
And 50-odd years later this song is still very weird and out there. Sounds like a modern band
This is definitely one of my faves. Of course, the "bang, bang, shoot, shoot" backing vocals are a nod to 50s doo wop.
And they said The Beatles couldn't do that.
Well, they did that.
A totally John song, both Paul and George loved it.
HazeBruv ... you are just describing the phenomenon that the Beatles are from the sky with diamonds even w/o a Lucy. I am old already but it makes me warm that young ppl still detect this very thing. I am happy that I was on a Macca-Concert in Hamburg in 2003. I am unhappy that I never could see Lennon. - If you are interested: They often are compared with Franz Schubert, who only reached 31 years (1797-1828). But he wrote incredible stuff, too.
Once I got stuck on The White Album and listened to it for months. One of the greatest array of songs ever produced. You have many many more great things to explore. Have fun.
your on the same musical trip, we took 50 years ago.... after a light of a smoke...w/ headphones in hand.....off to never-never land .......its sooo hard not to drink their kool-aid .. and w/ the Beatles ........... A musical vibe of creativity thrived thru-out the 60's,70's,
I don't even think about my favorite album. Every one of their albums are great
There's a movie called, 'Across the Universe'. It's all Beatles music done in an operatic manner to tell a love story. The video part where they do 'Warm Gun' will knock you out! Great movie.
Beatles music refusing to be put in a box
