The Beatles are being discovered by kids today make me FULL OF JOY!!
My 12 year old daughter made me so proud the first time I saw her rocking a Beatles shirt that I didn't give her. As a young child she mimicked what I like as most children do, but it was more than just copying dad because well into puberty she continues to like them, spend her money on apparel and is the hippest 6th grader I know
me too!!!
Yeah it restores my faith in humanity, their music transcends race, politics and time.
my 16 y-o nephew is into nirvana and bought a powder blue guitar to be like kurt - the kids are gonna be okay! lol
Replies! 😎👍!
John Lennon is the only person in the world who could have come up with this song.
Well, to be fair, he _did_ have a little help from Shakespeare! ;)
Syd Barrett wants a word!
Supposedly he had all the orchestral parts planned out, he hummed them to George Martin. The ending, "smoke pot, smoke pot, everybody smoke pot", was, according to JL, "everybody's got one". The radio was Ringo spinning the dial he hit on a Shakespeare play
@@stevemd6488 Indeed it WAS "Everybody's got one", as no one should know BETTER than JL!
Indeed, he's the only one who did.
Many people who are just casual about The Beatles think only of the lovable "mop tops" on Ed Sullivan singing "I Wanna Hold Your Hand." But this band went in so many different musical directions, you can't pin them down. That's part of their genius. What ties all their different styles together, though, is their incredibly high quality of musicianship. Everything they did was amazing.
Revolver and Rubber Soul helped break them of the earlier rock standard they cultivated, phenomenal albums
Yep, that is why they were both the most popular and the most innovative at the same time. They really ruled the 60s and they are still hailed as the best band ever up to the present.
"Dear Prudence" is another great beatles song.
It’s about Mia Farrow’s sister who spent most of her time in her cabin during a religious retreat.
And if we’re talking Lennon, also Across the Universe and I’m Only Sleeping... unless he hasn’t already done A Day In a Life yet.
@@SpotWorksLNC, oh yes, (Im Only Sleeping) is a very good slept on song.
Yes, might be my favorite.
It's okay, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone new. It's tame.
"Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the band to come" Ahh, the 60's!
Waiting for the van to come
Lennon was obviously dropping lots of acid at this point.
@@martyslazenger935 He said, that with so many people dissecting the lyrics of his songs and putting constructions on them that were wrong, he was gonna write a song with such obtuse lyrics, and then watch people trying to make sense of them. Hence 'I am the walrus'.
@@Pokafalva still doesn't change the fact the guy was tripping unbeatable levels of balls during that time.
@@bigbubba7753 Yeah, deffo.
John Lennon wrote this after he heard that his old school was using so e of his lyrics as a study text - he despised his school so wrote the most random nonsense to see if they would try to make sense of them, it worked
You will NEVER stop loving the Beatles. Each song better than the last. You should listen to them chronologically, because you ACTUALLY SEE their musical progression boo. Much love and thank you. 🙏🏼
Agreed, nobody progressed like that. And, 2 albums per year! prolific!
I agree. At first they were playing the same stuff as everyone else only much better. Then they found inspiration somewhere and changed everything.
@@cliffhodge6167 They started writing their own songs so they could do songs nobody else was doing.
I'd start with Live At The Star Club . Double LP until it was withdrawn , easy to find on CZcams now. They're the best garage band ever in Hamburg .
100%
You've fallen deep into the rabbit hole, and you will never get out.
Nor will you ever want to get out!
I know these youngsters of today don't even know the walus was paul.
Magical Mystery Tour is one of the best albums ever. It's actually underrated in my opinion.
agreed
Agreed 👍🏻
Amen! My 21 yr old just discovered it and loves it. He even likes Flying!
It is under-rated. You can tell they just had a lot of fun recording that one.
@@bobmarket8056 well then the Grammys should take back the awards from Saturday Night Fever and the Bodyguard soundtracks since they are not really albums.
It’s so great to watch people’s reaction to the Beatles for the first time
For me they’re badass. The greatest of all time, without any close second
John actually sang this song through a Leslie speaker! It really changed the way his voice sounded. This is definitely in my top five songs by The Beatles! Also, the lyrics are John Lennon trolling before trolling was cool! George added sampling from Shakespeare's King Lear at the end, too! The choir singing "Everybody's got one!" also begs the question, "One What?" Psychedelic to the max!
3:40 - Beatles: "Don't you think the joker laughs at you ... hohoho ... hahaha ..."
HazeBruv: "Hihihi ..." :-)
Expert texpert choking smokers.
Beatles just can not be beaten as far as overall sound and lyrics. They were great and is still being listened to after 59 + years.
Spooky Tooth does a great version of this on their "The Last Puff" album (1970).
Its close to 70 years since the Beatles made it big in 1963.
@@shawnk7832 Yes, in ten years it will be rather close
“While my guitar gently weeps” is 👌if you haven’t listened to it already!
Electric version
Opposite of this song in a way- structured and clear. Just as good too.
Just make sure it's the "White Album" version and not one of those other ones going around.
The true masterpiece of the White Album, IMHO.
"Back in The USSR" and "Glass Onion" are a couple ones you will definitely dig! They are groovy as hell!
Yep , and Savoy Truffle
This is the kind of music that never gets outdated.
Completely crazy, but completely brilliant!
I have three daughters, 17, 15, 12, who have been well-indoctrinated in the Beatles. They are passing the genius of the Fab 4 on to their friends. I love seeing kids turned on to the music I grew up with. With the Beatles it's the more you know, the more there is to know. Keep up the good work.
This is why THE BEATLES and BLOTTER ACID go together!!!!😆😆😆😆
The Beatles never settled on a "sound." Other bands found what works for them, and stuck with it to produce hits. From the start, the Beatles never repeated ideas. Every album, every song was a progression, an evolution, never sticking to a "formula," yet you always knew it was them, and it always worked perfectly. It's really something else to listen to them in order. You can really hear how much they changed over time.
The first four albums were kinda derivative, with some standout songs. But from Rubber Soul onwards, their music got very eclectic.
When I was little, my friend and I would jump and dance on the bed (we regularly fell off! 🤪) and laughing our asses off at this song. “Coo coo cachoo” huh? 😂 The brilliance of the incredible John Lennon. May he rest in peace. ☮️
Goo goo ga joob, but yesssss
Walrus goes thru EIGHT key changes. A single key change/back to the original key is considered “advanced” melodic song structure-this song does that EIGHT times.
Kinda sorta, it goes thru a cycle of chords at the end thats based solely on the alphabet backwards rather than any musical theory, he's literally playing ( all major chords) G, F, E, D, C, B, A, G etc etc . It might sound 'so what' but nobody else had done it and to make it sound melodious is amazing.
"Tomorrow Never Knows" is another one is this trippy kind of far out category. Check it out. Off the "Revolver" album.
Another psychedelic masterpiece of John
it's the first track they recorded for the album and in a way it inspired all the others
I remember the day I heard this. I played it 10 times in a row. I was a teen. It was over my head. And yet I loved it.
Im a professional musician… I first heard the Beatles at age 7 … The drum set came at 8…. But I spun that vinyl over and over… every harmony… every instrument! Over and over and over
@@yougotgroove I envy (but I am happy) your musical gift.
La primera.vez.que.la.escuche.me.volo la cabeza música increíble..
This is one of their “trippier” songs. It’s hard to put them in a box, isn’t it?
Lsd bruh. Normies think these lyrics made no sense, they are still called genius because if you’re trippin balls they make more sense than anything.
You don't put The Beatles in a box. They are the box
Only one box: the Beatles
This one along with She Said She Said and Tomorrow Never Knows
I think that this entire album is as close to tripping as you can get. You feel every little emotion, sight, sound, love, pain and anger. It seems to change throughout the songs, sometimes very quickly and sometimes slowly. If you close your eyes you can even feel the colors. The complexity and simplicity of each song is magic!
They are GOAT's for a reason.
Set the standard for everyone else in the 60's & 70's and STILL having influence today.
You said it Every Song by the Beatles is So Magnificent!
I have got to agree...Been a fan since the Ed Sullivan Show.
This music has stood the test of time. Great to see the younger
people enjoying what I have for over 56 years. BEATLES!
The Beatles set the stage for ALL MUSIC in America! When they came to America, they set the bar and just open the doors to the world of Rock and Roll and really all types of music influences. The Beatles were just EVOLUTION to music. 💕
I saw them at the Balboa Stadium in San Diego - after they left we ran down to the field and picked the grass they walked on - I still have that grass.
This song is high art. You hear it on the radio occasionally and it sticks out so much from the stuff surrounding it.
John Lennon learned that a poetry class at his old school was analyzing the lyrics of Beatles songs. He decided to write crazy lyrics that meant nothing. The end of the song is very hectic, because there is a choir of boys singing "oompah, oompah, stick it up your jumper," a choir of girls singing "everybody's got one," and a scene from a Shakespeare play that Lennon taped off BBC radio. (It's the death of Oswald, from King Lear, act IV, near the end of scene 6.)
It's kinda funny because instead of just getting random people to chant those words they got the Mike Sammes Singers, who were a pretty well-known group, and had them do this stuff instead of actually singing.
This is an example of how The Beatles revolutionized rock music.
BTW: "Semolina Pilchard" was Detective Sergeant Norman Pilcher, head of the Scotland Yard Drugs Unit. He led the arrests of both John Lennon and Brian Jones before being investigated himself for blackmail and bribery in the '70s.
This song is basically John Lennon trolling people who would take his lyrics way too serious .. just a bunch of nonsense from Lennon .. GENIUS!!!! This is ne of my favorite Beatles song
Yes! I first read about that in the 1970s when I read a book by Lennon's childhood friend Peter Shotton. Lennon and Shotton were sitting around Lennon's house reading fan mail and they came across a letter from a kid who said that a teacher who had failed Lennon was now telling his class what the Beatles _really_ meant in their lyrics. Lennon asked Shotton if he could recall the "yellow matter custard" song they used to sing in grade school and that was the beginning of the lyrics. I no longer have the book but I recall reading that Lennon said something to the effect of "Let's see what the fu*ker says about this!"
The first trolling?
john lennon on LSD, actually.
@@oki_music along it works
I believe his quote was "Let's see what the fuckers get out of this one."
At the end of the song the Beatles are saying 'Smoke Pot! Smoke Pot! Everybody Smoke Pot!', but because it was 1967 and weed was still very illegal, they had to dirty it up a bit so it wasn't so obvious to the notorious 'THEM'! I love the Beatles!
I was obsessed with the Beatles since the first time I heard them in 2nd grade. They have been the soundtrack of my life and it’s great to see another generation appreciate musical genius at its best. My favorite is Tomorrow Never Knows.
Me too! Tomorrow never Knows is another great song and one of my faves as well! Great suggestion 👌👍
Same with me first or second grade 1964 living on tapanga Beach California. In the 60s my parents didn’t have much money but we had the ocean, the beach and the Beatles
Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.
If "Oh Darling' is one of your favs then definitely "I'xe Got a Feeling" will become one, sung by both Paul on the heavier part first and John on the mellower (but edgier lyrically) side of the song.
John Lennon was heavy into the word imagery of Lewis Carroll at the time and got much of the inspiration for this song from the poem 'The Walrus and The Carpenter'. Check out 'All You Need Is Love' also from this era!
Such a cool song. The Beatles are the best band ever.
I think Happiness Is A Warm Gun by The Beatles you would really dig. Great reaction!
One of the greatest diss tracks of all time! Lennon spitting bars!!!
Magical Mystery Tour is definitely underrated, it gets lost between their other albums a lot! The Fool On The Hill, Your Mother Should Know, and Baby, You're A Rich Man are greats. Also still looking forward to you doing And Your Bird Can Sing (for the harmonies) and Tomorrow Never Knows (to blow your mind) :)
This whole album is a journey through the colorful imagination and creative talent of the Beatles. Definitely a headphones record.
Anything from "Magical Mystery Tour", "Sgt Pepper", or "Abbey Road" - is pure Beatles' greatness.
The White Album says HELLO???
Revolver and Rubber Soul,hello!!!
Yes...Lennon songs are generally more 'edgy', you might be more of a John Lennon fan. Maybe you already listened to Strawberry Fields, but that's another great one...keep going!!
Uh, he mentioned Helter Skelter and Oh Darling in that quote too. Paul songs. The Beatles were great because there were four of them.
@@debjorgo true, but it is accurate to say that John songs were generally the more edgy songs in the Beatles catalog, even though he could also do tender love songs with the best of them like “All You Need is Love”, “In My Life”, etc... but true, they could all be everything, specially together
@@hw343434 A lot of what we think of as John being edgy, was post production work done by George Martin. John was angry that his songs were always the songs being experimented with. He thought his songs were being sabotaged. He wanted to re-record may of his songs. George Martin asked "Even Strawberry Fields?" John said especially Strawberry Fields.
@@debjorgo Yep, this is true in many examples like “Strawberry Fields”, and I agree with John in that as amazing as that recording was, perhaps it didn’t do justice to what an incredible song that is in its pure songwriting essence. But as far as edgy, John was just a much more edgy songwriter than any of the Beatles, and songs like “I want You (She so Heavy) he took post-production edginess into his own hands by playing the White Noise Moog Synth sounds that rise at the end and then ordering Engineer Geoff Emerick to “Cut the Tape!” against the studio’s wishes. That song is about as edgy as The Beatles ever got, unless we’re talking “Revolution 9” which was produced by John mostly with some help from George and Yoko.
@@hw343434 No that's not true. It is a common misconception among current day fans and media which comes primarily from Lennon's interviews and off the back of Plastic Ono Band the album. It also mainly stems from two instances in the public consciousness, We Can Work It Out and Getting Better. One Lennon provided a downbeat middle 8 (life is very short...) and the other a rejoinder in the chorus (it's getting better all the time - can't get much worse). As well, in the time pre-1980ish, most fans had no knowledge which composer was the main writer of which song. It was assumed that Lennon was the rocker and McCartney the balladeer, especially in America where similar types of song writing partnerships had existed during the earlier years of the 20th century.
A good example of this is the contrast between Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane. The assumption is that Penny Lane is a straight ahead song while Strawberry Fields is the trippy one. Yet, if you look at the lyrics to Penny Lane you'll see it's quite psychedelic. For example, it's simultaneously summer and November (the pretty nurse selling poppies from a tray near Remembrance Day) and sunny and raining (there beneath the blue suburban skies and fireman rushes in from the pouring rain....very strange).
Additionally, people like to point to Revolution #9 but this was recorded a year after the McCartney led Carnival of Light, which is still unreleased thanks to Harrison who thought it was, "shit"). McCartney, being single and living downtown London from 65-67, was involved in the Avant Garde scene and was the first Beatle to know about Yoko Ono, having gone to her exhibit before Lennon.
They were very complimentary and often wrote songs about the same subject matter differently. McCartney, being much more melodic in his writing, tends to get the "cute" or "upbeat" label. But compare two songs about depression; Lennon's Help! v McCartney's I'm Down. Lennon was quite upset that they didn't stick to his vision of the song, which had originally been a slowed down piano ballad. Contrasting that, I'm Down is a rocking song whose melody covers the darker theme (you tell lies thinking I can't see, you can't cry 'cause you're laughing at me, I'm down, I'm really down)
In relation to the stark, stripped down Lennon songs of 69 (Don't Let Me Down and I Want You(She's So Heavy) respectively) come months after McCartney did the same thing on Why Don't We Do It In the Road. A song he recorded alone, which irritated Lennon, as according to Lennon it was a great track he wanted to play on. For McCartney, he indicated it was tit for tat at having been excluded from the creation of Revolution #9.
And all of this does not include many of the examples of Lennon's softer side (which a large number of people assume were McCartney tracks) ie Julia, Cry, Baby, Cry, If I Fell, etc etc
"Sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come"... oooooo! Ok!! LOL
I think you could be a ready for ‘tomorrow never knows’, I love the Beatles, listened to them for years but I still remember the first time I heard tomorrow never knows.
Paul spits rails on I've Just Seen A Face. Walrus is one incredible song - 50+ years later and it's still one of my favorites.
Since you love this side of them, I highly suggest Tomorrow Never Knows. You will flip out, this song is completely insane! Sounds modern AF, very ahead of its time. Also Happiness Is A Warm Gun and Yer Blues (their heaviest song ever!!!!) will blow your mind!
"Smoke Pot!
Smoke Pot!
Everybody Smoke Pot!"
gets me every time.
😮
Yes
Oh yeah! "Goo Goo Ga Joob"!!
My favorite band EVER!!
They so cool.😎✌❤🎶
i was a 7 year old digging this back then.
The Beatles are fantastic and they possess a hypnotic attraction in their musical style . ..there is no band like them and will never be! I love 🐞🐞🐞🐞=🍏🍎🍏🍎The Beatles lol...I lived Beatlemainia I loved it it was so beautiful to all children...I was 9 in 64'
I am the Walrus, Penny Lane, Hello Goodbye, bring back memories, and every other Beatles songs. My mum made us Beatle pillows, Beatle Curtains, and Beatle pyjamas! She’s 95 this year, I must ask her if she liked the Beatles too 🤔😃
THAT musical experience was brought to you by John Lennon
Thing to keep in mind is how revolutionary having all these sound effects and layering of tracks was for the time.
Beatles were the first band to get on a drum set and individually mic up each drum directly....so they could literally control every tone. They reverse looped orchestra noises. Just about anything...and they did it all on "ribbon" tape....like literal reel to reel tapes...you had to cut and physically splice things in and punch up mixes manually as you bounced tracks.
This stuff was lightning years ahead of its time.
Literally smoke a blunt and then listen to The Beatles - you take a quantum leap, not just levels 💖
I love the static-filled AM radio picking up some random performance of Shakespeare's "King Lear" during the long fade-out.
The ways he’s always shocked by the Beatles diversity of music after listening to so much of their stuff is a testimony to how different the Beatles are.
The greatest musical group of all time.
Every generation will rediscover the Beatles because they are simply the best! Love your enthusiasm... YOU are fire!
Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds!! One of my favorites!!
I Am The Walrus has been my favorite song since I was a kid and I am 58. It never changed. I'm so glad you liked it my friend!
"OOH OOH Ooh, Smoke Pot Smoke Pot Everybody Smokes Pot, Smoke Pot Smoke Pot everybody Smokes Pot"!!!
I'm sure it's been mentioned (or even reacted to) but Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Cracks me up every time.
Watching someone get into the beatles is as good as it gets
George had a great psychedelic song as well with "It's All Too Much"
How about "Tomorrow never knows"?
Listen to them all :)
Fantastic track.
They ARE the greatest ever....
'Smoke pot! smoke pot! everybody smoke pot!' is the fading chant at the end The Beatles the greatest band ever. GOAT!
Two separate sets of vocals are sung simultaneously over the songs outro . "Got one, got one. Everybody got one" and "Oompah oompah,. Stick it up your jumper" The Eggman is reported to be The Animals lead singer Eric Burdon. Terrific reaction HB, RNB
Welcome to the world of the Beatles
This is a GREAT DAY! Hazebruv does I am the Walrus!
Great review man. Had to hit the Big Red Sub Button. A lot of people under rate the Beatles just because they only listen to some of the mainstream airplay. Like you are doing, you really have to get into their deep tracks inside the albums. They really changed the way songs and sounds were being used in production of the albums. Some of their later music really show all the members creativity.
Dude, I have to tell you, I am a fan! Like the Beatles, like Nico and Vinz, you are at the top of your game with your show!!! Can’t imagine myself watching anyone but you!!! I’ve done it before. I’ve watched two critics, one a real sad excuse for a critic, all in his head, ready to tear everything apart. Not what I’m looking for! Then a second guy who really dug Nico and Vinz at the 20 Nobel Peace Prize Awards watching them perform “Am I Wrong.”. He was ok. But he cannot get across the feeling and emotion that you do! Furthermore, you give me new eyes and ears. Let’s face it, people like myself have been listening to the Beatles (through my best friend in my entire life, who passed away in 2012) since the 1970’s when I was a boyhood Elton John fan, and my friend Ed grew up from watching the Beatles appear on Ed Sullivan, which was the #1 program in America that time. The crime rate was reported to be at an all time low that night, as everyone was home seeing these guys from Liverpool, England called the Beatles, to this day the best name I’ve ever heard for a group, appear to perform on television. They were just starting out, and their gay manager Brian Epstein (it was a felony crime to be gay in Britain at that time, but the boys loved and accepted Brian), had them performing on stage in suits and ties. . .one of the coolest television programs of all time as these musical radicals, these musical quasars, who were boyhood friends (John was first introduced to Paul in 1957. George was Paul’s friend from school whom he had audition for John at the top of a double decker bus. Ringo came in a “trade” from the then hot group called “Rory Storm and the Hurricanes”. To people who want to badmouth Ringo, John in an interview after the Beatles had broken up said that Ringo was a much bigger celebrity than they were. Rory Storm and the Hurricanes used to have “Ringo Starr Time” at every concert at which Ringo would not only solo on the drums, but would also sometimes play guitar. The drummer the Beatles had before Ringo was a guy named Pete Best, who, to this day, is the only member of the Beatles who was fired, in this case, for Ringo, who wanted to leave the Hurricanes to join the Beatles. Meanwhile, when Brian Epstein got them their big audition with George Martin (their legendary producer, right up there with Quincy Jones), Martin immediately picked up that Best was not up to drumming necessary and would be a hindrance to the group. Meanwhile, Ringo had been subbing in for Pete Best who had been unavailable for performances. Paul as an 82 year old man today talks to this day about the moment that John, Paul, and George started playing live with Ringo as their drummer. Paul said they all looked at each other as if to say “well, listen to this!”. The rest, as they say, is history.
Dude, to me, you are the Beatles of reaction shows. I really pray you are not affected by that kind of praise, and that you continue to stay natural, because it’s the secret of your strength.
It’s also the secret of Nico and Vinz’s strength as well. Two young Norwegian boys who were substitute teachers in Oslo, who met up with each other through a mutual musical friend in 2009. Vinz Dery, the tall Ghanaian-Norwegian guy, tells of the story that between his mother and his friends he was gifted with a music studio and began recording at age 16. His partner, Nico Sereba, whose father is an African musical artist in his own right from Ivory Coast, agreed with Vinz early on that the only strength that would set them apart was to be the people they are. And this comes through so brilliantly that it absolutely knocks you over the head.
I have a best program idea for you. Stay true to your show. I will always watch programming with you in it doing first time hearing. So this is my pitch: Nico and Vinz’s masterpiece is their 2014 album “Black Star Elephant” produced by Michael Jackson’s former producer, if that means anything to you. This is a masterpiece of an album, and the range of styles is very diverse. Perhaps not quite as diverse as the Beatles, however, that being said, they have musical styles that even the Beatles don’t have due to the strong African influence in the cultural mix together with Norwegian and European. These boys have done “Am I Wrong” and “In Your Arms” on the Soul Train Awards in 2014, when they won the award for the world’s best new artists. The critique written by the Soul Train Awards committee called their singing style “a new style never seen in the world before”, and called them “the world’s first Afropean singers”. Curious?
Anyway, I think you should have a careful roll-out of doing reaction to all 21 tracks on “Black Star Elephant”. Once that’s done, it’s time to raid Norway’s televisions vaults for all these unbelievable live performances on national television!
It is not at all too far a stretch to say they are the musical kings of Norway, of whom the Norwegian people show their love and pride in these two. You have to see them in concert to understand. They are a force. A movement. And Vinz, in an interview once said “we don’t worry about writing hit songs. We want you to feel something from our music. That’s what we always aim to do, Nico and me.
Dude, if you do a series on “Black Star Elephant, I swear to God I will by everything on your product clothes line and look for friends to buy for as gifts! You have to do this show, man! These guys are all about you! They are all about FEELING!!! You said it yourself with Oh Darling (Paul’s song; this was when they were breaking up. Though Paul wrote it, John thought he had the better voice for it, and said he was really hurt when Paul didn’t let John sing it. George Martin called then “Vinegar (John) and Honey (Paul). Thing was, Paul had plenty of vinegar in his voice as well, and John felt deep insecurities about this.
But the lessons you drove home in your program was that feeling is the essential essence of music, and you are dead on!
Dude, Black Star Elephant could really be a big series for you. The other half of this equation is that, though Nico and Vinz have bought a house in LA, they never really caught on in the States. They are more like a cult band here. Still huge in the rest of the world, especially Europe (there are no other bands in Europe like them), Australia, New Zealand, and Asia (and, of course, Africa, where they both have extended family).
Dude, I can’t stress it enough. These guys are DIFFERENT! As Vinz says in an interview “the world has never seen our kind of music before. The world have never heard Nico and Vinz music before.”
You should!!!
Yes. Despite being handicapped with all that musicality, the Beatles were so good they could almost rap. Jeeeeez.!
This song in particular was ahead of time and helped created jobs .blue prints for bands in the 80 and 90s and beyond.......I know some know what I'm talking about....
Oasis...? I would say Liam Gallagher pretty much copied Lennon's singing style and vocal delibery in this particular song and employed it for his entire career
Ringo plays such cool drums....makes the song !
"I Am The Walrus" sounds like a first cousin to "Come Together" -- cutting-edge John Lennon with otherworldly, nonsensical lyrics and a sound like no other, then or now.
EVERYSONG BY THE BEATLES IS A MINDBLOWING EXPERIENCE
One of my favorite song's from this great album love it classic
You should REALLY REALLY react to the Abbey Road medley. This is the best part of the album
You touched on so many great points, I'm gonna be honest, if you had asked me if The Beatles ever did anything close to Rap, for sure this song wouldn't have popped into my mind...but here we are. I hear it too! The thing about the Beatles is that they were a very exploratory bunch of musicians. I think that is their genius. They never really had a plan to have a signature sound and stick to it for the sake of success. They just created and whatever came out of it, so be it. Who knows, maybe drugs played a part too, lol. This song used to creep me out and get my adrenalin pumping all at once. I love edgy Beatles, but I also love pretty, melodic Beatles. Give a listen to Norwegian Wood for an example of that.
One of the great Beatles song. Keep diving Haze 👍🏾
John was the master at painting a picture, and then leave you hangin. Gotta love it
they were high as kites when they wrote this album.... and its brilliant
Dude, another jewel for you to check out by them-yet another different style! “Paperback Writer”. You see the John and Paul co-writing team at it’s best (mainly written and sung by Paul with great backing by John and George). Freaky vocals! Great rhythm guitar by John and drums by Ringo! And Paul’s super-cool, almost Indian sounding bass line! As usual, a completely original, one of a kind by the Beatles!!!!!
Love the fadeout - "Drop out , drop out, everybody drop out!"
I'm only sleeping is a great one. Just love that song.
Yes! That’s one of my Top 5 favorite Beatle songs❤️
Dear Prudence is one of my favorites. The bass and guitar parts are amazing.
Just turned onto your channel. Loving the reactions especially to The Beatles. I grew up with them through my dad so I don’t remember my reactions. Just know my obsession of them is real. I am jealous that you get to now experience it. Love the vids keep it up
ma préférée des BEATLES ! magnifique....
"I've got a feeling" would definitely be up your alley
Some musts. A day in the life, Helter Skelter, Happiness is a warm gun, Revolution, Come Together, Everybody’s got something to hide except me and my monkey, “The long one “ if you haven’t already.
I remember exactly the situation when I first listen to this song. I was 14 (back in 1978). One of my aunties gave me the "Blue Album (1967-1970)" as a christmas gift. Early the next morning I started to listen. The first side of the vinyl album made me dizzy. It was a complete new world for me and my ears. The 2nd side started with this song - and I thought, my ears gone wrong. I didn't had any explanation about the way, The Beatles produced this particular song. The effects, the sounds are wonderful - and complete strange. The voices are from outer space. I never heard somthing like this before. I listened it over and over again, some hours. What a wonderful day!!
This christmas was the start of loving the Beatles music my whole life and keep my ears open for new experiences.
Bruh, I been of fan of the Beatles for fifty years, thank you for giving me a new appreciation for this great song!
I think you would like the song "I'm So Tired" by The Beatles.
Worth remembering too that this is the only song in UK chart history to have occupied no.1 and no.2 at the same time (1967) as 'B' side to 'Hello Goodbye' at no.1 and as a track on the Magical Mystery Tour e.p. at no.2. Yet again, a first by the Beatles.
Their enormous variation in genres and styles is remarkable. I love TOOL's music but it all sounds like TOOL, y'know what I mean? The Beatles are Extraordinary.
I read a story years ago about one of their many BBC live broadcasts . There was some sort of holdup , while they waited they just played every song on the current UK Top 10 .
@@stuartharrison165 Those BBC recordings sound great too.
@@crspwl1950 Absolutely !
I grew up on the Beatles my parents were Mods in the 60s I'm 41 now and remember watching the magical mystery tour when i was 8 years old and help and a hard day's night all great movies and songs.
