The Beatles - Helter Skelter - Reaction
I was 16 in '68 and Helter Skelter was mindblowing
That was Ringo at the end. The Beatles covered more genres of music than any other group. Pop , folk-rock, rock, reggae, classical, novelty songs, ballads, Indian music, heavy metal, swamp rock, country. All within six years. Phenomenal!
Paul McCartney said he wrote this song in response to a song by The Who called I Can See For Miles. He wanted to to sound heavier than The Who
My 14 year old thinks they are the greatest band ever!
I loved how The Beatles used to change up who played what instruments in the band, this track John Lennon plays bass, and George and Paul both played lead and rhythm guitar and therefore invented the first punk rock riff
I remember when my older sister brought this album home. The whole album was a bit of a revolution and of course it was a massive hit.
The way to listen to "Beatles" is in order from the very beginning, chronologically, to best grasp their evolution.
Lennon is playing base on this instead of McCartney...he was nervous because he never played base and he told Paul. Paul said to just play, you can't F it up -it'll sound great.
This entire song was like nothing ever created before it. When the Beatles made Helter Skelter they created an entire new genre of music that had never been heard before.
Unfortunately, the Beatles stopped playing live in 1966, with the exception of the rooftop concert on top of Abbey Road studios in 1969. The concerts had gotten out of hand with the craziness. You couldn't hear them play. They lived like prisoners in their hotel rooms while touring and could go nowhere in public. So, they stopped touring to focus solely on music creation. Paul's live versions of their later stuff is all we have, and it's absolutely great, but we can only imagine what the Beatles would have sounded like live on their later music.
The Beatles could play just about any type of music, and play it well. They were true pioneers.
Ringo's drums are perfect
Hearing this for the first time must have been a fucking trip and a half lol
That's why The Beatles are the GOAT!
"Helter Skelter" was originally just under 27 minutes long and edited down to 4.5 minutes, that's why there's a fade out and then a fade in and Ringo screaming "I've got blisters on my fingers!" at the end.
For me, one of the truly great things about this song is the fact that not only was it the first metal/punk/thrash song, but without it, those genres would probably never have existed at all. There's no way that any record label would ever have released this track if it had come from anyone but The Beatles. It was just too heavy and too crazy for it to have been taken seriously at that time. The Beatles were the only recording artists who had ever had the clout and the power to make EMI/Capitol essentially put out whatever they gave them. Even the Stones would have been shut down with a song this wild. And just a short time later we got the debut albums from bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Ramones, Deep Purple, and all the other headbangers who came after them. Thank God for The Beatles!
I was that teenager ... 18 years old when I hear this for the first time, and it blew my mind.. Never heard anything like it before and it was incredibly exciting ... still my favourite song from the White Album. Well, it's a bummer being getting old, but I'm so glad I was there to witness music history as it was being made! Great reaction video, Texas, thanks.
Everybody's got something to hide except me and my monkey!!! And Hey Bulldog!!!
Ringo's drumming on this is PERFECT!
McCartney wrote the song in response to The Who, 'I can see for miles'. Pete Townshend had said something about having made the loudest record and McCartney thought he could do louder. Saturday night at something like Nottingham Goose Fair in Autumn is very loud, neon lights flashing everywhere, loud music from every fairground attraction and all only a few yards apart. Lots of chaotic movement and often some violent crime. We still have something of that tradition now though it is toned down at Blackheath but, in 1950s and 60s things could get pretty wild - a bit like early Mardi gras or Carnival in Trinidad
