"Just another Beatle Fan Channel" you're thinking I s'ppose ?... Well yes. But with a new approach.
Away from the usual clichés on the Beatles everyone goes through all the time everywhere, away from the mandatory topics attached to the Beatles, away from the conventional esthetics most Beatles channels have... I want this channel to have a different look as well as a different outlook and take on the band once called "The Beatles", the most influential, socially significant, commercially most popular and culturally most worshipped music band in the history of the Western world. This channel wants to look through a new prism.
It will use other means and elements to go through usually overlooked subjects in their history, usually neglected characters, ignored notions in their narrative, unusual views or non politically-correct angles on certain aspects... Well you see the spirit.
Because what tends to be obvious these days when you go through all the Beatles related channels across RUclips, is the monotonous conception and predictability of most videos really, no offense...
Basically, in most cases you do end up either with some slightly sad, slightly lost, slightly lonely chubby boomer going through their "vinyl collection" like they were talking to themselves out loud really... Or you might come across some trendy 25-year-old New Jersey hipster, often nice but also often corrupted by product endorsements, telling all about various existing Brazilian vinyl pressings of "Abbey Road"...
Not to mention the unavoidable channels of "tribute-bands/ look-alike tribute-bands", complete with wigs and Sgt. Pepper outfits, delivering cringy renditions of "This Boy" on cheap out-of-tune guitars before extatic devotees holding out smartphones, somewhere in a Liverpool "Beatle museum" of some sort or in some "Beatles convention" upstate Arizona, USA...
Call me ugly but, remembering John's clear sarcastic and iconoclast tendencies and views on all myths including the Beatles' myth and his loathing of silly stereotypes, I can't help envisioning what the personal John Lennon's take would have been on Beatles "tribute-bands" had he lived !... But that's another story.
My point being : the Beatles always stood for staying away from conventions, away from any "group mentality" and away from any flock of sheeps.
One must NOT forget that before becoming themselves The Establishment in many ways, The Beatles and especially John Lennon always stood for "Political Incorrectness", always stood for "non-conventional", always spoke for all the underdogs and always proposed new paths to their audience. The Beatles were always in themselves a world apart from all the rest.
Some might say it seems today they have become The Rest.
The Beatles were the very opposite of a corporate company and the very opposite of a "formula-type band". And they spoke a language which was the very opposite of a Corporate Language.
It was a language of truth, and most of all, one of sincerity.
The instinctive language of sincerity. And I believe we must remember this.
... However big Paul and Ringo will always remain in my heart and however vast my gratitude will always be towards their talent and genius, I can't help but feel a bit depressed when I realise that all that's left of my sweet beloved Beatles today is an empty and purely commercial Macca acting like he's on automatic pilot, telling the exact same three Beatle anedotes litterally everywhere he goes, and one freshly died-haired lost Ringo going "peace and love peace and love peace and love" whenever asked about anything, like some ludicrous robot with a bug he can't shake off... I mean, really ?...
I personally think the Beatles deserve better than that... But let's say I'm just a nasty idealist.
Like John was.

Deos Yoko ever fail to interject the word "artist"? And being "honest, and all that".
Is the full recording of the Playboy Interview from 1980 out there?
Hearing this again made me realize how terrible or an interviewer Jann Wenner is.
Probably feeling intimidated by Lennon’s reputation
I wish John had never met Yoko. It makes me sad how his life turned out. She was bad for him. I feel so sorry for Julian 😢
The “Get Back” series has tried to repatriate Yoko and I started thinking for a while that she really wasn’t a negative force in the break up of the Beatles.
But I’ve been looking at the histories and hearing the audio and she is exactly the dark force that I always thought. And the myth about how her and John met is quite diabolical.
John was screwed up far before Yoko, without Yoko, he would have been worse off, at least she kept him mostly solid and grounded. He was more depressed then his entire life before Yoko
@@CartersRemasters you need to do a bit more research
@@insideluxuryparis8148 I’m a Beatle freak who runs a Beatle freak channel, I have done research, believe me. Read hunter davies book, the way Lennon speaks during the interview section, it’s hauntingly sad, he seems so lonely, out of love with dear Cyn
I'd love to get £10 for every time John says: Y'know? 😉
I'd like to still have those two issues of "Rolling Stone". And all those before it. They are selling beyond my pay grade.
"Y'now" is a pause for thought.
I'd also be pretty happy with getting $10 for every time John says: bullshit
"Sgt Lennon" hahahha hes awesome..
I think a lot of you need to understand that this interview was angry and for a very big reason. The Beatles had just broken up, and John was being sued by his best friend, even though he himself had been told to stay quiet about it for an entire year. John was bitter, and his interviews in 1980 show a very different person who’d had time to think and reflect on a lot of things
Lennon is just vicious here
Nada mais que o tempo para por tudo as claras. O John Lennon falou muita merda, tomou posturas ridiculas sob a tutela da Yoko. Trocou sua autenticidade e identidade e virou um personagem patetico nas maos de uma pessoa que nu8nca conseguiu se impor como artista, nem com todo o dinheiro que tem e nem com a inssistente ajuda dele. As pessoas nao se interessam por ela ate hoje.
