It's simple really. Taxman is a song about taxes, Good Morning is a song about waking up, Hello Goodbye is a song about opposites, and Helter Skelter is a song about a racial doomsday. Good thing we will always have crazy people like cm telling people what their art is really about.
and look where it got him...Just kidding Dumbledore was awesome but I don't have fear of the name. I fear giving bad people what they want. I think of it as a way of telling people like that "Look, you don't matter and nothing you did will make it matter. The only people that do matter are the people you hurt"
@@JamesMaharajOfficial Not wanting in any way to even hint in the direction of sympathy for charlie's legacy, he was a pretty sad guy who had at least a little real talent, but with his upbringing not much of chance in life. I get what you're saying, but I don't like demonising people completely - we need to see humanity in even the darkest places so we can continue to recognise any darkness in ourselves and not just conveniently say the bad stuff is all somewhere else. Like John said at the beginning of your edit here, "we're all responsible" for evil in the world and scapegoating is an oversimplification.
I am speaking to you from your future, 2020. This is the best cover of Helter Skelter I've heard. Superb attention to detail. Keep up the fantastic work.
Any person who's ever been captivated by The Beatles material, whether it be a single track or the entirety of their discography, should watch every one of your videos. The explanations are so honest, and make the songs feel as pertinent today as they were in 68'. Master production and brilliant writing here, truly.
Well both songs were recorded at the same time. Maybe "Revolution " was John's answer to Pete's quote . Much like a Strawberry Fields / Penny Lane kinda thing.
@@christopherwarren8882 I think he was referring to their hard rock single "Revolution," not the acoustic "Revolution 1" on the White Album. Fun fact: "Revolution" was the B side to "Hey Jude" , yet it charted around the world.
Hey! Great job (again). Thanks for explaining Helter Skelter. It's a really cool song and deserves it's own place in history apart from the despicable acts of a maniac and his demented followers. PS ...please explain "I am the Walrus" as well. It's one of my all time favs!
Thank you! I am the Walrus is high on my list but I think I'll wait a touch. Something weird is going on in the youtube algorithm and I would hate for it to fall flat on it's face.
I am the walrus has no real meaning. John Lennon years later admitted to writing it to mess with people because he was tired of people, like this gentleman, breaking down his lyrics and trying to find meaning
GangstaPotatos no, that’s deffo a Fender VI. I own one and the tone is very distinctive with bass switch off and treble boost. Now that’s not to say McCartney couldn’t have played it upside down... but why would he do that?? Even on the authorised 2018 box set release of the White Album it says Lennon. It’s also too sloppy for Macca to be honest, and it has a lot of Lennon trademarks e.g. the use of triplets and slides reminiscent of Get Back and Yer Blues. You can hear it in this recording, especially the E string and the way the pitch fluctuates and phases due to the scale length and the pick up selection (bridge and neck) no middle pick up. ruclips.net/video/DmFsBgiGrMY/видео.html
@@dogmatronic Paul used a Jazz Bass on this song. I've played on a few and it's definitely the case. It was the only bass Paul had with The Beatles that had roundwounds and that tone can really be made if you pluck really hard. Sloppiness might be explained by the simple fact that they were playing really hard and that a lot of it is improvised. Also add to the fact that he's singing at the same time, see Take 17.
Not many songs I almost turn up all the way. But Helter Skelter is an incredible exception..... the rawness is beyond intense and such a release... great version by the way!!! How fun!!! " Well how's that?".... lol!
Thx for the beautiful video. When I sing it next week I can tell the crowd it's about an amusement park ride. Only recently discovered it was a Paul song, always assumed John wrote it
Unfortunately, I didn't listen to HELTER SKELTER for 30 yrs because of that cult leader. I thought it had to be evil. Well now I listen to it all the time. U R saying it was a slide, I thought it was a roller coaster. Either way it was about a fun ride at an amusement park! I love this song :) IT'S SO AMAZING !!!!!!! P.S. I don't mean to bring myself down to Manson's level BUT... ding dong the witch is finally dead. Maybe he asked God forgiveness right before he died. I hope so BUT, I highly doubt it :(
Great work dude, I recently discovered your channel and is great, because of you I gave the White Album another chance and I fell in love with it! Greetings, from Brazil, and please, do a episode on Tomorrow Never Knows and one for You Never Give Me Your Money. Thanks again!
Who else would kill the see a video of Paul in the studio while he was singing this song? There's so much power in his voice when he's screaming, it gives me chills every time.
The HollyHobs Beatles Explained Possibly. I enjoy his stuff but still have trouble listening to it because of who the person making the music is. Ignoring all the stuff he did though, I think he had genuine talent.
You know it's been a really big issue for me Ace. I look around at all these uncovered heads and it makes me so sad. I wish our government would do some research on the issue but it just doesn't seem likely.
You know . You are so right about this song !!!!!! And it is not about some mad man !!!!! I do tell a lot of people about this song being about a slide ..... And you know what I think people are let down . They wont to believe a wild story instead of the truth . So good job on this and rock on !!!!! :}. Beatles .
I must interject by stating that the life of Charles Manson should be remembered, as it acts a a cautionary tail to prevent similar situations from occurring.
Keep up the great work you are doing. I've only seen this and a few other videos but I'm going to watch all of your videos and will spread the word. Just OUTSTANDING and accurate work, presented in a professional and entertaining way. I am a well-read Beatles fanatic and am now a subscriber to your site. Most excellent!
Thank you mate. beautifully done. i love all your clips and insights and versions but this must have been very tough for you. your work is much appreciated. of course Love will win in the end...
I saw Paul McCartney perform this song live in concert a couple of weeks ago...didn’t say anything, just sang it, like he was taking ownership back from ‘no name’.
That was the best one yet! Sweet pipes at the end, buddy! You definitely stole back the song! P.S. If only there was an amusement park ride called: "The Impending Apocalyptic Race War". Then there wouldn't be anymore confusion...
From when I first heard the song, I always thought that it was John's voice screaming about the blisters. Then I heard various reports that it was Ringo, which I have no reason to doubt...I wasn't there, so if they say so.... Funny, though, it really sounds more like John than Ringo, but maybe because there're no other references of Ringo's voice screaming, whereas John... Either way, one of the best tracks on "The Beatles," and one of Paul's best ever. This is the song that answers to the accusation that "Paul only wrote fruity love songs." Everyone talks about how Helter Skelter suggests that the Beatles spawned Heavy Metal... Hell, they inspired almost all of modern popular music from the early-to-mid Sixties to this day!
Beloved neighbors you are each and all very very Loved by THE CREATOR . That is why God made all things- NOT to kill. JESUS loves you. Be well . Do good. Help you neighbor . Lets enjoy this life as we grow in the knowledge of what is right and good, not murderous selfish or dirty . We all have a bit of time to live and learn so let us live and give Goodness while we each still can - BEFORE the Helter Skelter ride of life comes to its end . Let us love with our hearts words and actions !!
That cover is legit better than it should he allowed to be lol, youtubers cant make covers that good man! That was a top cover, I'm legit impressed as well lol
Spooky! I found myself singing this one to myself today at work ... I really hope it wasn't due no-name's recent demise, but it was the song itself that made me want to sing it and really there was absolutely no conscious thoughts of the unfortunate association the song has to that despicable piece of shit. For years I was unaware of any connection and it was only when I heard U2 reference no-name on their cover version that I became aware of it at all. Its such a shame because the awe-inspiring sound of the Beatles letting loose still thrills me as much today as when I first heard it. Your fantastic cover pisses all over U2s effort. Love the trippy visuals too - Sterling work :)
In American I never heard of a Helter Skelter until I watched a British cartoon on Nickelodeon called Banana Man where it was a type of ride you slide on. I figured this was the origin of the song and it fits the true nature of the song.
It's funny how John gets attributed with the tough songs while Paul is relegated to the bubble-gum corner, yet Paul wrote and performed this masterpiece. I'm the same age as Paul. He and I were transformed by Little Richard and raving rock 'n' rollers like him. What a great life it has been. Don't grieve folks, you've got your iTwiddle boxes to compensate for your lack of life.
Perhaps the most creative, innovative, inventive work the Beatles ever produced - basically giving birth to what we call Heavy Metal Music. However, there was an evolutionary process that worked toward the development of this song of "Helter Skelter" - "Revolution." "Get Back," "Birthday" and perhaps other songs as well. As Paul (who was the major author of the song) stated - he simply was hoping to stay ahead of The Who - and did he ever. Now that is not to over shadow The Who - they too were a great rock band. The entire Beatle era was perhaps the most innovative and creative period in musical and cultural history - at least in my life time. The public was both enriched and outraged by what was becoming a major post World War industry (England's best export) - rock music. Too bad there was so much public hysteria being generated from that level of creativity - I think it truly wore down each of them to the point - it was no longer fun for them as a group. Paul went on with the strongest work ethic - and thus the most commercial success - he kept the Beatle sound alive for us all to enjoy. "Do you. do you, want me to LOVE you." In every creative lyric and melody - the prevailing theme - was LOVE. And I loved every minute of what the Beatles entertained us with - too bad my parents did not enjoy it with me - I never understood their fear of this wonderful art - I suppose that World War II was such a rampage of birth from the public hysteria over the German people's admiration of the frantic years of Hitler's rise to power - that the Beatles perhaps reminded that generation of the same kind of gathering - I really don't know what my parents thought other than they express disgust of the Beatles and posted Elvis as being better. I think Elvis was great - just as I think the Beatles were creative. I could enjoy both. And it seemed a natural course of musical evolution for Pink Floyd to explore the human frailty of the mind going insane as the members of the band witnessed their friend Syd Barrett losing control. Perhaps creativity comes with a heavy price - our society does not really have an answer for our Starry Starry van Gogh's. Perhaps one day - if we hold out HOPE and LOVE - the answers will follow - and if certain we can put hate behind us.
I don't know why creators like you don't get more attention on RUclips I think yours, Polyphonic and La hemeroteca (from México) are three of the best channels in the entirety of RUclips. Sorry if my english is a little messy, I'm from México.

So Ringo literally bled. I have a lot more respect for him now.
Right?! Poor Rings.
The original version is about 26 minutes ; playing that way ; By the way Ringo’s fills just amazing .
@@olaby_ola6707 The 26 minute version was like the 12 minute version but longer
He actually said "I GOT MY BLISTERS ON MY FINGAS
Steven Tyler Rocks just like in the movie whiplash lol
It's simple really. Taxman is a song about taxes, Good Morning is a song about waking up, Hello Goodbye is a song about opposites, and Helter Skelter is a song about a racial doomsday. Good thing we will always have crazy people like cm telling people what their art is really about.
it's infuriating isn't it?
Helter skelter is an amusement park ride.
No it is not, it was about an amusement park ride in England, listen to the words...
Blackbird however, was about the Black struggle of the '60s.
Charlie even said that the song had nothing to do with the killings of August 9,1969
What? No, "I've got blisters on me fingers!" at the end??? ;)
I know I know, I just didn't want to steal the pain away from poor Ringo : )
"I've got a Charlie in me horse!" (Thud, clank)
I GOT FINGERS ON MY BLISTERS!
The HollyHobs - Yeah, a lot of people co-opt the suffering of others... Thanks for the sensitivity...
"I've got blisters on me voicebox!"
the beatles' most Punk Rock song
Vivzid Not only that it’s heavy metal with punk. And cheers Danny
punk !!!??? wtf ???
Yup that why I love it
Proto metal 😑😒
Their Star Club recordings would apply as well...
"fear of the name increases the fear of the thing itself" - dumbledore

Mike Mantha AGREE 100%!!
I absolutely adore the format here. Documentary/Art piece/Musical performance/Thought provoking analysis. Bravo!
me too
Agree.....he knows his shit better than anyone I know!!!!
Helter Skelter kinda reminds me of Revolution, maybe it's because of the amount of distortion used on both of them
Well both songs were recorded at the same time. Maybe "Revolution " was John's answer to Pete's quote . Much like a Strawberry Fields / Penny Lane kinda thing.

Plus they are both on the white album!

Man I have to say, your videos are the best thing on the internet. Never stop making these!
They'll have to kill me, Thanks brother.
Love this video, love your cover, and love your philosophy towards pure evil. Thanks man, keep it up. I will always be a loyal subscriber.
Honestly, thank you so much Dickus.
Who was he talking about tho? I'm lost kekw
Strangely, John is playing bass. That blew my mind. Paul is playing guitar. JJ
Then whats George doing?

Even after 30 years I will never let The Beatles die out
I have waited so long for this video. Great message and great cover--very raw!
Is no one going to talk about the Helter Skelter cover at the end? Dude, that was a lit cover!
*ROLLER COASTER thanks Paul for escaping that fate...
dude, just wanted to say thank you soooo much for those videos. you are the real mvp
You're welcome brother. Thank you.
FINALLY! One of my favourite Beatles songs, so glad you finally done a video on it. Great work 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for uploading a new video for all people to enjoy:)

great series, man. You also have a crazy, insane voice. Good luck with your own music!! You rock.
Great video. Your covers always go hard but this ones particularly impressive.

This is f***ing AMAZING!!! Thanks for putting so much work into your videos. Your video is focused but even more important it’s unique.

I got blisters on me fingers
Who else would kill the see a video of Paul in the studio while he was singing this song? There's so much power in his voice when he's screaming, it gives me chills every time.
I SO wish there was a video of them doing this song. It would have been fucking amazing to see Paul sing this.
This is a fantastic video! I have never seen any of your others, but I am liking and subscribing!
great video, great cover
It’s such a shame that “no name” had so much musical talent and it went to waste when he got involved in what he did.
You really feel that way? I've listened to some of his stuff and I didn't really dig it. Maybe the connotation got to me.
The HollyHobs Beatles Explained Possibly. I enjoy his stuff but still have trouble listening to it because of who the person making the music is. Ignoring all the stuff he did though, I think he had genuine talent.
The HollyHobs Beatles Explained he helped write some beach boys songs i think.
who is no name, sry i just dont get it,
Wait is it charles... u kno
I love your channel and I’ve only been watching this video for like 3 minutes
You can tell you were losing your voice a little bit. But it served the song way better then if you had clean vocals.
I think I lost my voice when I just thought of singing it ; )
The HollyHobs Beatles Explained That's how I feel when I think about singing any song by Queen.
This may be my favorite video of yours yet! Keep on rocking it!!
That's awesome thank you!
I didnt kno how much I need these videos keep it up
U2 were onto something when Bono said "[No Name] stole this song from The Beatles. We're stealing it back."
I look forward to your videos every single week. You're doing some fine fuckin work, keep it up!!!
That really and truly means a lot to me, Thank you.
Beautiful intro, and quite possibly your best video to date. Much respect.
On a side note; did you know that people aren't wearing enough hats?
You know it's been a really big issue for me Ace. I look around at all these uncovered heads and it makes me so sad. I wish our government would do some research on the issue but it just doesn't seem likely.
Ace of Knaves People get distracted too easily.
You know . You are so right about this song !!!!!! And it is not about some mad man !!!!! I do tell a lot of people about this song being about a slide ..... And you know what I think people are let down . They wont to believe a wild story instead of the truth . So good job on this and rock on !!!!! :}. Beatles .
My fav Beatles song!
Charles Mullins Best McCartney for sure!!!
Yup - Me too
Great video! You are talented in your own right. Thank you for sharing!
That intro really is amazing. Makes us see how much of a good person you are. Proud of being a follower of yours since the beginning.
Dude - gave this a thumbs up just for the intro. Great ideas, great approach!
I must interject by stating that the life of Charles Manson should be remembered, as it acts a a cautionary tail to prevent similar situations from occurring.

Oh my god I love you. I have been a Beatles lover since my birth. You are amazing.
Hey Brother, amazing dreamy harmonies behind your lead vocal performance. Love this episode too, but for real one hell of a killer cover, my man.
Oh Jesus, "killer cover" I swear no pun intended I'm sorry
wait, he's talking about Marilyn Manson right?
King and Queen of the Losers Charles Manson
Marylyn Monroe I thought
Honestly? It's all relative to the size of your steeple.
King and Queen of the Losers Charles Manson, Marilyn Manson is a musician
NO, LOL, ...Charles Bronson.
While I don't know if I would like the song as a personal taste, you sir have changed my perspective on the song. Thanks for that.
I saw Paul McCartney perform this song live in concert a couple of weeks ago...didn’t say anything, just sang it, like he was taking ownership back from ‘no name’.
I like your cover of the song at the end. I used to drive and scream this song in my car so loud I lost my voice for a week once lol
try watching the end while on acid
LESQUIGGLE シ Looks like it'd be a bad trip.
Your cover of Helter Skelter 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I adore how you refer to No Name. Probably the best way to do so when talking about this song.
The people in this guys’ apartment building must hate him
I absolutely love your Channel and your content. I been a Beatles fan all my life. You are very talented and creative person. Outstanding work.
Wow! Thanks for this video on this amazing song. Love your rendition, you’re very talented and I look forward to see where you go. ✌🏻💜 ☮️
Young man. You are really talented with your singing. Plus your talk was on the spiritual side of life. Nice going.
Man another excellent video! Thank you!!
That was the best one yet! Sweet pipes at the end, buddy! You definitely stole back the song!
P.S.
If only there was an amusement park ride called: "The Impending Apocalyptic Race War". Then there wouldn't be anymore confusion...
Nope, ub-40 stole it back first
You nailed the cover version man!
