@@michaelrogers9641 With this song they all got together in a small storage room and recorded. Ringo said it was one their favorite recordings because they were a band again for that brief moment.
when the White album came out and i was 15. Became an Anthem to many of us boomers...Now it is so very cool to see and hear to watch,listen and share now in the 21st centrey.
@@mikejones-go8vz When the Beatles played live all their songs pretty much sounded the same too. When they diversified their music they stopped playing live for many reasons which one of them would be their latter years stuff were much difficult to replicate live. Queen never ever played live their odd and quirky stuff such as "Seaside Rendezvous", "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy", "Bring Back that Leroy Brown" because it would be bizarre for a hard rock band to play vaudeville songs at their concerts or even perform some of their rock opera stuff in the true spirit of the recordings on the actual albums. All that being said Queen has done rockabilly (Crazy Little Thing Called Love), metal (Stone Cold Crazy), hard rock, psychedelic rock, pop, FUNK rock (Another One Bites the Dust), electro funk (The Invisible Man), glam rock (Fat Bottomed Girls), art rock, operatic rock, folky ('39), baroque pop, ragtime, gospel (Somebody to Love), dance/disco, r n b (Cool Cat), acoustic (Is This the World We Created.....?), jazzy blues (My Melancholy Blues), Arabic (Mustapha), [progressive rock (The Prophet's Song), Christmas music (Thank God It's Christmas), Soul (One Year of Love & Pain Is So Close to Pleasure), Caribbean and many more that I don't bother to look more into. Has The Beatles ever done "disco"? It didn't exist in their time (to be fair when Queen was around the music is far more diverse than in the 60s so they have more options to be creative with). Has The Beatles ever done gospel? Nope! Vaudeville? I don't think so. One thing The Beatles did that Queen or any other rock band has never done was children songs!!! LOL Hello??????? "Yellow Submarine" and maybe even "When I'm 64". No skin off Queen's nose.
@@ThelSuperlKing what I mean is Brian May’s guitar has the same sound on every song I know, I’m not going to quote hundreds of Beatles songs that sound different
This ain’t a filler bro. This is the ONLY time the Beatles EVER wrote and recorded a proper original Blues track and it’s done live pretty much and it’s masterful.
@@hw343434 He meant that in the best possible way I reckon, tongue in cheek. The Beatles were putting out so much from 1967 onwards that some of it was bound to go under the radar,...tracks like 'Hey Bulldog' and 'It's all too Much' are good examples. That first came out on the original 'Yellow Submarine' album that had George Martin's orchestral pieces on side 2 and the album didn't sell in the quantities the 'white album' and 'Abbey Road' did. Many Beatles fans felt it wasn't worth paying full price for an album of only 50% Beatles music, so apart from die hard Beatles fans those two tracks were largely forgottten for the next 30 years. Now in the last 20 years, 'Hey Bulldog' especially has had a resurgence.
@@justincase1853 yes.... Till There Was You was a cover, though. I don't even know if I've ever heard the original version of it; to me, it's a Paul ballad.
@@buddyneher9359 yes, Beatles covered it. It was a show tune written in 1950 and probably best remembered as a song in "The Music Man", sung by Shirley Jones in the 1962 movie. She later portrayed the mother in the TV show, the Partridge Family. I do prefer Paul McCartney's version,( sorry Shirley.)
It’s such a pleasure to see the joy that you feel and exhibit when listening to The Beatles. I’m a 73 year old man and The Beatles have been the main soundtrack of my adult life. The pleasure they have given me and continue to give me is amazing. I’ve passed that on to my kids and grandkids. They love them too. Keep up the great work.
I always said if someone doesn't have a Beatles song they like, it's because they haven't listened to enough of their songs yet! They truly have something for everyone.
If I can't re-hear The Beatles for the first time I can kind of relive that experience with you. Yes we were freaked out by what we were hearing. When I first played my single of Strawberry Fields I thought there was something wrong with my little oldfashioned record player. 😎
My parents old record player combo inside a television cabinet loved Strawberry Fields, and every song on the Double White of course. And Rubber Soul, And so many more...
In the early days in the USA we were a little late getting their stuff. So we used to sit around the radio because for a time, every Friday or Saturday night the local NY station, WABC, would introduce a "new" song. Usually it was an earlier UK release or part of a UK album. It was magic. Eventually we caught up but it was still magic knowing a new album or single was coming out. As difficult as the 60's were I would not trade the Beatles portion of it for anything. I remember it with joy and love.
Great song -- not down the middle for HazeBruv's taste, but great nonetheless. And beauty is tied into the lyrics. Easy-to-miss: At the end they say subtly that they burned the girl's house down as revenge for being a tease. Oof.
I never compared Oh Darling to Yer Blues but it is a good song. I would suggest that you listen to the 2nd side of ABBEY ROAD. The medley on that side is classic and once again changed music. You will love it. It might blow your mind a bit.
Ringo really enjoyed that they worked like a real group recording this. They apparently all crammed into this small room just off of the main studio and essentially played it in there producing this kind of tight and close sounding result. It also telegraphs the direction John wanted to go with the music - dirty, bluesy.
Definitely blues. Lennon used the traditional blues formula of repeating the first line and adding a separate third line during the start of the song. This is an awesome song.
A parody of blues songs but stll a banging blues number. The whole White Album has so many great, unique songs. Check out if you haven't already Everybody's Got Something to Hide, I'm So Tired, Obladi Oblada, Back InThe USSR, Rocky Raccoon, Julia, Dear Prudence, Bungalow Bill, Happiness is a Warm Gun, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, hell check out the whole damn album.
I wouldn’t call it a parody. Critics did at the time but John said in many interviews he was miserable at the time he wrote it and that those were real screams of pain on the recording. To me, it presages Plastic Ono Band and is singular in his work with The Beatles.
I sit in with a blues band. This song is soooo fun to play. That sudden time shift at the end of the solo is a neck breaker. Wakes the audience up real quick. Thanks for another great reaction Brother Hazebruv! PEACE!!!!!!
I think what made The Beatles especially special for my generation was that there were no other distractions to dilute our thirst and attention. Pop groups, new singles and later albums, the Top 20, Top of the Pops, New Musical Express, Melody Maker and Sounds were important institutions in our young lives and boy did we pay attention. 60’s musicians had everyone’s fullest attention and the standards achieved were earth shattering and resonate even today, evidently as the above reaction video shows. The Beatles smashed it with every single and led the way feeding off musical influences from the US and later British historical references (psychedelia). They inspired other groups and left an indelible mark on the memory of a generation. Looking back I realise we were very very lucky to have lived through that time musically. How brilliant therefore many years on that we all feel compelled to comment and add our bit to the comments of a young guys reaction video!
Hello there! I am loving your Beatles journey! I was born 2 months after Beatle-mania hit America in February of1964. I was born that April and shared a bedroom with my 12 year old sister who was absolutely infatuated with them. She had every album, 45, doll, poster everything you can think of! My mother became a huge fan and so their music was played all the time from the moment I was brought home from the hospital. I am very sentimental and I’m enjoying the memories your videos are bringing back. Thank you! ☮️💜
I was there when it first came out. For 7 years nearly the whole top 40 was the beatles. Some songs stayed as number one for 45 weeks they were so revolutionary to what had been before. They also made movies and invented half a dozen genres of music. They discovered dozens of other artists and wrote songs for them and still do. They changed the world. The way people thought, how they looked, dressed and acted. They drove the peace movement and after they broke up they individually still made as many top songs.
People lost their minds after each Beatles album because they always introduced something new and innovative. Their very first album was a complete surprise to the public. They did things nobody else was doing.
Hey, Yer Blues, Oh! Darling, and I Want You (She’s So Heavy) are all some pretty cool deep tracks to have in your top five, that’s a true fan right there
The Beatles least known jewel was Only a Northern Song a true psychedelic classic with hidden messages recorded in THE Sgt. PEPPERS Sessions but released on Yellow Submarine LP in Jan. 1969.
Glad to see you react to this song, it's pure John Lennon. I've been telling you to try this one for a little while 😉 now. Dear Prudence from the same Lp is another classic Lennon song well worth a reaction. Check out Ringo's drumming the last minute or so on this one, the man is much more talented then he's given credit for. You keep trying to rank your favorites, my advice would be to just 🛑 stop now and save yourself the trouble. I can see already you're having trouble trying to remember which ones and you've still just begun to scratch the surface. My best advice to you for now would go back to like Rubber Soul, released like December 3, 1965. Revolver 8/6/66 and then Peppers 5/26/67. I would suggest listening to these in chronological order too appreciate the growth of this band in just 17 months, this will never happen again and you can take that to the bank.
You turning me back on to the White Album again. And I agree, you can not box them in. As I discovered their music more and more over the years and I'm like how were they like this? It's crazy to be this versatile
The Beatles took the sounds of amazing Rhythm & Blues artists from america and perfected their own take of the blues before their first album was ever recorded
The sessions for what became the White Album commenced at the end of May 1968. Over the next 11 weeks the band was beginning to fracture. Tension between the Beatles, and the EMI staff were running high. Ringo Starr, who'd had enough. walked out on the band the first week of August. After a couple weeks, cooler heads prevailed and Ringo returned. Having his drums showered with roses on his return. The Beatles set up in a small annex room off Studio 2. So close together that proper separation was impossible. They didn't care. The 4 guys crammed into the room and the song they recorded was Yer Blues. The Beatles righted the ship and the remaining sessions were much happier and productive. On October 30th, with 30 songs in the can, The White Album was completed. Great reaction H B. RNB
Next best thing to hearing this for the first time is watching this guy hearing it for the first time. The only thing better would be watching his brain melt if he kept listening to the next song on the album “born a poor young country boy...”
Now THIS is what a music reaction video should be like! LOVE your passionate reaction bro! I agree 100% with all your sentiments about this song and The Beatles in general. Awesome reaction!
I'm thinking you'd love the switch-up they made for "Rocky Raccoon" "What Goes On" or "Act Naturally". They were, and still are, the most versatile band ever.
I love you and your discovery of The Beatles music. So much of your analysis is so" right on" i havent enjoyed anything so much in a very long time thank you and dont stop. Youve shown yourself to be quite special. Im 75 white woman in Michigan who has a black womans soul when i hear the blues. Im just loving it
That was genius. I really enjoyed your review. I think this is a song that no one else could have come up with. The Beatles did things that nobody had ever heard before that will be played forever.
I was lucky enough to have grown up with them. Saw their first appearance on US TV in 1964. Got to listen to each album as it came out, as their singles filled the air. They appeared at Shea Stadium in Queens--even my dad went to see them perform. I rode in the elevator with John and Yoko, just months before he was shot. Saw all their films as they were released. Lucky.
Listen man listen, there is a live version of Yer Blues done by a band called The Dirty Mac. Only one show. The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. The Dirty Mac are: John Lennon and Eric Clapton Guitars, Keith Richards Bass and Mitch Mitchell, from The Jimi Hendrix Experience< on Drums. It is a MUST SEE AND HEAR.
If you’re a fan of "Yer Blues," “Oh Darling,” “Yesterday” and “I Want You,” I can almost guarantee you’ll LOVE these (not counting songs you’ve covered): BACK IN THE USSR DEAR PRUDENCE IN MY LIFE HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE ACROSS THE UNIVERSE ELEANOR RIGBY FOR NO ONE FOOL ON THE HILL JULIA THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD HEY JUDE LOVELY RITA PENNY LANE SHE LOVES YOU TWIST AND SHOUT WHY DON’T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD? WHEN I’M 64
I don't know how you RUclips reaction guys exercise such restraint. When I discovered the Beatles, pre-internet in the 90s, I was at the library the next Saturday taking out every Beatles CD they had (the American Rubber Soul on cassette, Abbey Road with Oh Darling! and I Want You(She's So Heavy), Help! and The Beatles 1962-66) I burned through them all in the time it took to listen to them all back to back. LOL
When this LP was about to be released a local FM station played the entire LP, without commercial or any other interruptions, every week night for two weeks, before and after playing other stuff. And during those two weekends played all of it and all and only "Beatles". "The Beatles" hit the US at #1 and never peaked. They continued to become more and more enormous until they broke up.
In the day the radio stations would have Beatle song premiers for new songs. You would drop everything to be by your radio when the new song was played.
"Everybody's got something to hide except me and monkey" is one I'd like to see you react to. You will be blown away by the sheer energy levels of it. And one of John Lennon's best later-phase Beatles vocal performances, along with Come Together. Enjoy! :)
The Beatles weren't just a band.
The Beatles were a miracle.
oh yeah.
Don’t ever expect two Beatles songs to sound the same. That’s the beauty. Talent is not stagnant. Keep these great songs coming 🥰
Their music still amazes me after all these years
That's the Beatles. John wrote some songs, Paul wrote some songs.
George wrote some songs, Ringo wrote some songs.
They all wrote some songs.
There is the Beatles, and then there is everybody else. It’s that simple
Agreed!
I was 15 when the White Album came out. This album proved there were no limits to their songwriting skills, From ballads, to blues, to rockers, and everything in between. Like you say..... you can't put the Beatles in a box.

Another Lennon classic.
Definitely...
That's one of their best rockers. 10/10
Yes 🐒🔥
Not sure about that.
See the cover of John & Yoko's "Two Virgins" LP for "monkey".
The White Album is a double LP of just everything. It's like a workshop of the breadth of The Beatles' capabilities.
nice!
The Beatles were the most versatile band in history, the music holds up forever, and I remember watching them on The Ed Sullivan Show

@@riphopfer5816 Lyrics
Yes, I'm lonely
Want to die
Yes, I'm lonely
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
In the morning
Want to die
In the evening
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
I'm lonely
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
Lonely
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
Want to die
Yeah, want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why

This song proves how great a drummer Ringo was , brilliant
Ringo was incredibility underrated.
It's a shame some give him little respect. Great drummer, knew what was needed. Not a show off.
Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in The Beatles.
Ringo is the best Beatle
Ringo was already known. He was the drummer for The Hurricanes

You have no idea how good this makes me feel. You remind me of songs I haven't heard in so long. (And you enjoy them .. which just tickles me) Thanks!
"Dig a pony" is another Lennon track that has that bluesy feel.
You can box them in. They are greatest band that is and ever was. I have 50 songs in my Beatles top 5.

The Beatles were all in a small room recording this song together. That’s why it’s a favorite of Ringo’s.

Yes, I worked that out too!
"For You Blue" is one of my all time favorites. Lesser known and very underrated, but it's a George masterpiece.
It's my favorite George tune!
The Beatles took the sounds of amazing Rhythm & Blues artists from america and perfected their own take of the blues before their first album was ever recorded
This song was recorded live in a tiny room where they were all crowded close to each other, this is the Beatles live in the studio.
That change at 4.08 was a tape edit, two different pieces spliced and taped together. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it as they say.
I’ve been a huge fan of the Beatles for 40 years, but somehow watching reaction videos like this makes me appreciate them even more. Great reaction!!
Major props on taste. Oh Darling is my favorite song of all time anywhere. 10/10 on this one also. Most definitely.
Your Beatles videos are great! You are so funny and seem a really great bloke!
The sessions for what became the White Album commenced at the end of May 1968. Over the next 11 weeks the band was beginning to fracture. Tension between the Beatles, and the EMI staff were running high. Ringo Starr, who'd had enough. walked out on the band the first week of August. After a couple weeks, cooler heads prevailed and Ringo returned. Having his drums showered with roses on his return. The Beatles set up in a small annex room off Studio 2. So close together that proper separation was impossible. They didn't care. The 4 guys crammed into the room and the song they recorded was Yer Blues. The Beatles righted the ship and the remaining sessions were much happier and productive. On October 30th, with 30 songs in the can, The White Album was completed. Great reaction H B. RNB
Welcome to the Beatles. They dipped their feet into everything and had the talent to pull it all off!
The Beatles are simply the best.
I grew up with The Beatles. 14 in 64. Their songs helped make me who I am.
Next best thing to hearing this for the first time is watching this guy hearing it for the first time. The only thing better would be watching his brain melt if he kept listening to the next song on the album “born a poor young country boy...”
Now THIS is what a music reaction video should be like! LOVE your passionate reaction bro! I agree 100% with all your sentiments about this song and The Beatles in general. Awesome reaction!
The Beatles recorded whatever they felt like putting on tape. Fearless, no boundaries.
I'm thinking you'd love the switch-up they made for "Rocky Raccoon" "What Goes On" or "Act Naturally". They were, and still are, the most versatile band ever.
I love you and your discovery of The Beatles music. So much of your analysis is so" right on" i havent enjoyed anything so much in a very long time thank you and dont stop. Youve shown yourself to be quite special.
Im 75 white woman in Michigan who has a black womans soul when i hear the blues.
Im just loving it
That was genius. I really enjoyed your review. I think this is a song that no one else could have come up with. The Beatles did things that nobody had ever heard before that will be played forever.
The way the Beatles kept evolving is with blue everybody's mind.
I was lucky enough to have grown up with them. Saw their first appearance on US TV in 1964. Got to listen to each album as it came out, as their singles filled the air. They appeared at Shea Stadium in Queens--even my dad went to see them perform. I rode in the elevator with John and Yoko, just months before he was shot. Saw all their films as they were released. Lucky.
Yessir great reaction again..bro..keep digging ..it gets better!!... seriously!!
Listen man listen, there is a live version of Yer Blues done by a band called The Dirty Mac. Only one show. The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. The Dirty Mac are: John Lennon and Eric Clapton Guitars, Keith Richards Bass and Mitch Mitchell, from The Jimi Hendrix Experience< on Drums. It is a MUST SEE AND HEAR.
Once again, you get them brother! So proud!! Peace and love!
Hey there my guy , nice to see you , I love your reactions , you're so fun , great song
Excellent blues track from Beatles catalouge ❤❤❤😎😎😎
If you’re a fan of "Yer Blues," “Oh Darling,” “Yesterday” and “I Want You,” I can almost guarantee you’ll LOVE these (not counting songs you’ve covered): BACK IN THE USSR DEAR PRUDENCE IN MY LIFE HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE ACROSS THE UNIVERSE ELEANOR RIGBY FOR NO ONE FOOL ON THE HILL JULIA THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD HEY JUDE LOVELY RITA PENNY LANE SHE LOVES YOU TWIST AND SHOUT WHY DON’T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD? WHEN I’M 64
I don't know how you RUclips reaction guys exercise such restraint. When I discovered the Beatles, pre-internet in the 90s, I was at the library the next Saturday taking out every Beatles CD they had (the American Rubber Soul on cassette, Abbey Road with Oh Darling! and I Want You(She's So Heavy), Help! and The Beatles 1962-66) I burned through them all in the time it took to listen to them all back to back. LOL
They always do that , The Best
Man I wish I could hear them for the first time like this dude. It would be magical.
Oh, John. I feel ya. 🖤
If you liked this version maybe react to the live version by John Lennon and some of his friends (dirty Mac)
One of my top songs by the Beatles also.
And i was there to hear it all first hand . Amazing time for music to say the least.
20 years since the first time I heard this album still my number one.
Another great song, by the best band, ever. Quite simply. 😊
When this LP was about to be released a local FM station played the entire LP, without commercial or any other interruptions, every week night for two weeks, before and after playing other stuff. And during those two weekends played all of it and all and only "Beatles".
"The Beatles" hit the US at #1 and never peaked. They continued to become more and more enormous until they broke up.
You have great reactions. So glad you are listening to The Beatles.
I've got a Feeling....guaranteed makes your top 5 bro
In the day the radio stations would have Beatle song premiers for new songs. You would drop everything to be by your radio when the new song was played.
My Beatles top 5 has about 100 songs in it. Keep rockin’, Hazebruv!
"Everybody's got something to hide except me and monkey" is one I'd like to see you react to. You will be blown away by the sheer energy levels of it. And one of John Lennon's best later-phase Beatles vocal performances, along with Come Together. Enjoy! :)
I lost my mind a long time ago...but the Beatles do make make me happy!
One of the best blues songs ever written
