Loving your Beatles reactions. Very spontaneous!
NOTE THIS! When you do Abbey Road, there is a medley on side two of a whole bunch of very short songs, starting with You Never Give Me Your Money right through to The End. You should allow them to play through, don’t pause it ❤
Thank you for this information! I’m so glad your enjoying makes me so happy!! ❤️
Ringo’s whispered words at the end still get me 50 years after I first heard them
A LEGEND OMFG
When I bought this album, I was reading Bram Stoker's classic horror novel "Dracula".... the song sequence of "Helter Skelter" and "Long Long Long" perfectly captured the mood of that book, and I played those two songs over and over again while I read the novel. Long Long Long is one of the Beatles' most underrated songs, and the perfect compliment to Helter Skelter.
Ouuuu I love this I love having music go great with other things in that moment in life I understand what you mean 100% love your outlook
Your vibe with Long, Long, Long, was a groove.
Heck yeah it’s a smash!!! I’m still obsessed with it!!
@@princeshanghai There is no live version. At this point, the Beatles, with one exception, had already ended their live activities.
😪😪😪
Regarding "Birthday", I have always loved this alternative to the standard "Happy Birthday" song. I have often serenaded my family members with a bit of it for their birthdays. Well, two years ago in June, for MY birthday I got to go to a Paul McCartney concert. For the first song in the last group of songs, he did "Birthday", saying, "Here's to everyone celebrating a birthday tonight!" It felt like Paul McCartney was serenading ME on MY birthday! Simply incredible!
Omg I love this for you wow congratulations hope you had the time of your life!!! Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking of singing this on my next birthday hahaha!!
It was a blast, thanks! Woo-hoo!
Honey Pie is straight out of the 1920s jazz. It reminded me of my grandmother who loved that kind of music. The reason the Beatles music is so diverse is because they were exposed to so many genres of music that influenced them.
I agree and that’s why they’re so inspirational cause they were one of a kind a generational group of artists I love it
There's a slide in London about two stories high which is called the Helter Skelter.
That’s actually crazy bout to google some pics
@@princeshanghai There’s actually more than one. Apparently, they were pretty popular at the time in the U.K.
As for “Revolution”, there are two versions (I’m not counting the sound collage called “Revolution #9”, which is not a “song”, per say). This is the slower, more laid back version. The other was released as a single.
I saw another reactor who didn't care for Sexy Sadie, and I didn't understand why. I suppose we're all different, but that song is so unique and fresh. Thank you for your love of that song and the album!
Thank you for watching those people only do videos for views and watch time do not watch them
"Monkey" was an insult that some had made to Yoko Ono.
"Sexy Sadie" talks about the Maharishi, their Indian spiritual master who revolved around their wives.
Back then, "having a monkey on your back" meant you had a heroin addiction
Forgot to mention that The Beatles stopped touring by the release of revolver, so after rubber soul, there's no live appearance of the Beatles other than promo videos for the singles(as in Revolution, Hey Jude) and the last live appearance in the rooftop of the studios at 1969 by Let it Be recordings
That’s interesting okay thank you for this information
John plays Yer Blues live on The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. It's not The Beatles, but it is from this album. Drums are Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience), guitars are John and Eric Clapton (Cream), and bass is Keith RIchards (The Rolling Stones)!
Goodnight was a lullaby written by john to his son
A beautiful song my lord
@@princeshanghai That was Ringo singing “Goodnight” even though it was written by John.
I've got so much to say, but it would take so long. Your 'reviews' are boss! This is such an interesting album, so eclectic, and I think you nailed it with pretty much every comment, including your summary. Gagged.
PS Documentaries, yes please!
Go ahead and say what you need to thank you for watching means the world to mr
@@princeshanghai That's my issue too - so many stories around every song, it would fill a book!
So I've just put down my thoughts on Revolution 9, since it didn't look like a track others had commented on much. Even those comments are pretty much an essay! (Brevity is just not my strong point...)
Yes to documentaries from me to! But be careful, and take advice before you dive in, since with the Beatles being such a clicky drawcard, there are oodles of inaccurate and ignorant ones out there, along with a few quite good ones.
You DO understand the power of John Lennon & Paul McCartney, right?!? The greatest, most-successful, most-beloved songwriting duo of all-time?!? Even in their separate powers they REMAIN the greatest songwriters of all-time. That's not my opinion....That's Just The Way It Is.....
I have to agree
I love Helter Skelter 😊
My 5 favorite songs on the 2nd disc are songs 2-6 ("Yer Blues" through "Helter Skelter"). The album is indeed a more down to earth, less psychedelic album than what they had done the year before. That was in keeping with rock in general, with The Stones and The Byrds coming more down to earth, and earthy bands like CCR and The Band making their debuts. It's also the Beatles album more than any other where each of the Beatles does his own thing, and the difference between a John song and a Paul song is the most obvious. "Revolution 1" is the original version of a song that is better known from the version that is the B-side of "Hey Jude". You'll hear that version when you hear Past Masters, Volume 2.
My favorite Beatles album (but not my favorite songs) - great reaction! And I’m glad you didn’t shit all over Revolution 9 - it’s not a track I would just choose to listen to on its own, but I can’t imagine listening to the album and skipping it.
You should look up what the inside of the album cover looks like - PLUS there was a great fold out poster included in the original release!
Yeah I will only ever say I dislike and song and why I dislike it never drag it that’s negative I don’t do negative thank you for watching I appreciate it also thank you for that information I’ll check it out ❤️❤️
Something else you will hear is that Helter skelter was Paul McCartney's response to Pete Townsend of the who describing something they had just released as the hardest song ever.
Paul McCartney said Oh yeah?
Iconic omg
Ok, ya got me. I subscribed. A Beatles lover since 1964, i love you. Thanx for rejuvenating my love for them.
Oh wow I love that omg thank you from the bottom of my heart seriously!!!!!
As a Beatles musician I remember We were hired to go to 12-year-old girls birthday parties and we of course did that song.
Ahhhhh I knew I want this at my birthday
The whole time I was listening to this, I thought that I needed to get up and change the batteries in mine!
Producer George Martin and the other Beatles argued DESPERATELY to keep "Revolution #9" off the album, but John INSISTED it remain. George Martin wanted to whittle all of it down to one amazing record. Paul McCartney said, more than 25 years after recording it, in response to DECADES of critics of the album: "It's the Beatles bloody 'White Album'....SHUT UP". 😄
Hahaha I love this
I listen to "Birthday" every time on my birthday.
LEGEND OMG
Good Night was written by John Lennon, but sung by Ringo, the drummer
Helter Skelter was the song that "inspired" the serial killer Charles Manson to start a serie of murders in the US.
Mother Nature's son is Paul's song about nature. John Lennon wrote too a song called "Child of Nature" or "On the road to Rishikesh", that you can find in the Beatles Anthology projects.
Revolution 1 has two more versions, called just "Revolution"that follow a hard rock direction. You can find one of them in the official "Past Masters 2" album release, but personally I prefer the version on the official music video clip in youtube, wich feats a live performance and backing vocals that don't appear on the album release
Many people believe that "Helter Skelter" was the first heavy metal song, although the actual heavy metal music wave just began in the 70s with Black Sabbath
This album recording was a chaos. The Beatles just hated each other at this point. We can say, the beginning of the end.
Thank you for all the information omg I love it
Make a reaction of their 2 movies, " A Hard Days Night " and " Help ".
I like your assessment at the end...
For being a half a century ago, you get the vibe. And our world today is not even close to the vibes in the 60s
Unique take on the Beatles - I always enjoy your reviews
Thank you so much my legend!!! I appreciate you and so glad you’re enjoying!!!
'Helter skelter' was proto-Metal music, they wanted to record the loudest filthiest track ever. In the UK a 'helter skelter' is an old time fairground ride, a simple conical tower with a spiralling slide going around the outside of it, you sat on a mat, lifted your feet up and slid down the slide. I suspect the lyrics in this case relate to coming down off a drug high. The psychotic cult leader Charles Manson was a frustrated songwriter and fan of The Beatles, and in his own twisted mind read all sorts of hidden messages into this song, and also the track 'Piggies' too. He incited some of his group of deluded followers to commit murder, and he appropriated the title 'Helter skelter' to be the name of the apocalyptic racial conflict he believed was imminent, and Manson thereby tainted, by association, a great rock song.
It's basically/ mainly about an imbalanced or frustrating sexual relationship. One of the Beatles said so, flat out: 'It's about sex'. I think we can fill in the details if we listen to the song in that light. 🙂
Sorry, I can't remember which Beatle it was that said it - possibly John.
You mentioned voting for The Beatles for President. As a matter of fact, during the presidential race of 1980 between Carter and Reagan, a very popular button worn by many people (including me) read 'John Lennon For President'.
YOU ME AND ALL THE OTHER BUTTON WEARING PEOPLE HAVE THAT UNDERSTANDING LMAOOO LETS GOOO #BeatlesForPresident
Loving these vids. You are so fun to groove with. Assuming you do all your own editing? It’s very well done and you fs deserve more subs.
Have you listened to any Pink Floyd? Would love some reactions to them.
Thank you so much I appreciate it more than you know seriously!!! Thank you !!! And I will be doing them in the future!!! Thank you again!!!
Those pictures got me dead 💀 I used to watch your Michael Jackson reactions a while back and honestly forgot about your channel so big-ups for bringing me back !! lol heads up you should listen to Let It Be before Abbey Road because canonically Abbey Road is their last album together
I'm trying to point out the cool stuff for you. When you watch them on a stage watch how they all work the mics together like a machine Paul steps back so George can come in they sing together then George pulls away and Paul is back on the mic front. It's really cool to see how professional they are.
I bet cause I hear it in the music they were meant to be
In Revolution 1 Lennon makes an argument for pacifism or peaceful action as a value to be held during the cultural/political revolution that was going on then. In Revolution 9 Lennon has created a soundscape that encapsulates what you should prepare yourself to experience should a revolution turn violent and the chaos which accompanies it. It's worth noting John Lennon was a practical person and thus was not strictly a pacifist. Famously saying on one version of Revolution 1 "But when you talk about destruction. Don't you know that you can count me out, IN".
This makes so much sense and I had the feeling about it too thank you so much for the details
@@princeshanghai The rock version of 'Revolution' they released as a single is so much better than the White Album version.
Revolution #9 was John and Yoko experimenting. The other guys didn't like it. John had a great deal of leverage in the band so it made the final cut.
Correction. George Harrison had as much to do with it as Yoko, or even more, according to Wikipedia. Even Ringo pitched in a little. Yoko claimed George actually "instigated it." Paul was "the other guy" who didn't like it. He did his own share of sonic experimenting elsewhere, but didn't care for this one.
I like the vibe it was just too much ya know
Sadie was a different name for the Maharishi. Lennon had reason to feel he was misled. Today, we might say 'gaslit' by the Maharishi. Though, in the end, it was proven to be untrue.
Interesting
@@princeshanghai George Harrison, the composer of "Long, Long, Long", developed a passion for the culture and music of India in the mid-1960s. In order to develop further spiritually, he contacted the guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The other Beatles partly followed this path, but it turned out to be a wrong turn.
However, the Beatles also opened the door with this India-stuff for what is now called “world music”.
The Maharishi was also suspected of having inappropriately approached actress Mia Farrow, who had traveled to India with the Beatles. Harrison was the only one of the Beatles, to live with this Indian influence until his death.
You should definitely check out the solo albuns in the future, especially John (plastic ono band) and George's, (all things must pass)
I been thinking about it you guys are really convincing me
@@princeshanghai You won't regret it Bro!
I suggest you look into Monty Pythons The Ruttles. There's a cool Mick Jagger cameo in it. And it is a farcical comedy.
Ouuu sounds interesting thank you
George Harrison also has a cameo in it.
@@TedLenn0n Oh yeah I remember that and he was also instrumental in helping arrange the songs for the Ruttles.
'Mother nature's son' was inspired by one of the meditation lectures they attended whilst The Beatles were in India, the subject being the unity of man and nature. John also wrote on the same theme with his own song 'A child of nature', but it remained only a demo, the tune emerging later on John's second solo album but with a complete rewrite of the lyrics as 'Jealous guy'. 'Sexy Sadie' is also connected with their time in India, the original demo lyric was not 'Sexy Sadie' but was 'Maharishi', followed by a string of obscenities aimed at their recent guru, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. After hoping their spiritual guide would help them to some new enlightenment, rumours were started and they began to believe he was only after their money, and that he had also been accused of inappropriate behaviour towards some of the females on the same course. Whether true or not, John and Paul left India disillusioned and only George really continued the path of Indian spirituality and music. John was persuaded though to disguise his initial vitriolic version and tame it down for public consumption, and avoid slandering the Maharishi.
Love this information that song was beautiful and I knew it had more meaning to it so great!! John is a legend
I believe it was Paul and Ringo that left early. John was disappointed by the accusations, but he stayed in India with George out of loyalty. Ringo hated the vegan diet that they were expected to adhere to.
please do the dark side of the moon by pink floyd in headphones pleaseee🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I know I have a lot of suggestions but I have another one. These guys have a lot of themselves on film they did TV shows they did they have recorded concerts You can react to the crowd and I believe that as long as you stop once or twice you'll be okay of course you can stop as much as you want. I think you would really like The Beatles doing the song help where theyare all four riding a bicycle built for four This is for a TV show, and you will not want to miss them appearing on the Dick cavett show and singing hey Jude the first part of it is just kind of then messing around then they get serious start singing the song and at one point in the song George and John stand up and start telling everybody to stand up and sing with them and they start singing the last part of hey Jude it's so cool you will love it.
Thank you for all your suggestions I will look into it I appreciate it so much
Yellow Submarine has only 4 original songs, unless you want to hear the Georges Martin's score for the movie...
Also, i'd say from this point on, if you want to hear the singles and b-sides, (Past Masters double album) right now or after YS would be best. Then for the last two albums i strongly suggest to go by production order rather than release order, putting the pinnacle album that is Abbey Road last.
Then there's Free As A Bird and Real Love made in the 90's and Now And Then, which was finished last year ;)
Thank you for telling me all this
There's a little bit of a story for every song, really. But, by the time I've finished watching your video I've forgotten which tracks you were specifically asking about. Some of your questions have been answered here already.
For Revolution 9 a couple of clues to what it's all about that may help you (and others) understand it better:
Google 'music concrete'. And/or read the section on musical influences in the Wikipedia entry for Rev9 which also explains other sources/ influences. The Beatles were very culturally switched on to everything going on around them (and SO much was going on in the 60s, especially in cities like London) absorbing ideas and influences from all different areas of the arts.
As I understand it as a non-expert, Revolution 9 draws on new classical music styles with an aesthetic that could be seen as including pop art (eg, as seen on the Sgt Pepper album cover) along with Yoko's conceptual and performance art. Most rock and pop fans hate it because they just don't know what to make of it, and it's not an 'easy' listen. Classical musicians and composers seem more amenable to it because they have that wider context for understanding what John and Yoko were trying to achieve. Music concrete is (IIRC) basically a collage or patchwork of sounds taken from a wide variety of recorded sources, used as the basic material, edited and messed around with by the composer/s. Today I suppose you'd call it sampling(?).
Number 9 was just a number that followed John around through his life, from his date of birth (9th October 1940) to house numbers, etc... and the day he was murdered, although it was the 8th of December in NYC, it was already the 9th back in his home town of Liverpool, UK.
As to the meaning of the track, everyone was talking about revolution back then, not necessarily a violent or conventionally political one (the arguments are laid out in Revolution 1) but more - as one Beatles lyrics analyser dubbed it - a Revolution in the Head. A personal, social and cultural revolution. John said it was simply the sound of Revolution - what he and Yoko thought a revolution would actually sound like.
I love this comment and I will be saving it for a video coming soon you just spilled so much tea I’m gagged
@@princeshanghai Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it and found it helpful. I guess I'm gagged too! 😀
I think of this album as if the Beatles were a bunch of unsupervised kids left to their devices with millions of dollars worth of recording equipment. George Martin was not very involved in this album and he was the ine who kept things structured and constantly moving forward.
In his absence they just did whatever they felt like, and this album came out if it. And it is good.
Im also a huge fan of Mother Nature's Son. The imagery is ridiculously effective. I feel like im laying under a shady tree on the edge if a meadow on a hot day. It along with I'm So Tired were the first two songs i really fell in love with on the album.
One last edit...i read the previous comment about the monkey and its totally likely to be true. Ive also heard he was referring to the monkey on his back, ie addiction. John was using heroin.
OK kast wdit. I think Long, Long, Long is one if their most haunting ballads, and thats really saying something. Its a tear jerker for me. George was a great man. Hes actually singing about god, but that's the most loving, relatable love song i know.
Nope one more edit...the war that was happening over civil rughts is still going today. Nearly hakf of this country is fighting tooth and nail to go back to 50s era social steucture, even attacking the government with force over it. The bakance is probably more tenuous now than was then.
"Me and my monkey" is supposedly about John's heroin addiction. However, years later, John said it referred to his relationship with Yoko Ono.
Very interesting
❤❤
Not even a song, but a sound collage compiled by John and Yoko, 'Revolution #9' has to be the most self indulgent and least replayed track the band ever released. If their producer, George Martin had been listened to it would, like a few more of the tracks on 'The white album', been one of those oddities, along with unfinished scraps of song ideas, that may have remained unheard for years. Martin had attempted to convince The Beatles to release a selection of the very best completed and arranged songs for a single album, but by this stage they were not listening that much to each other's opinions, let alone George Martin's, so the album was released as a double. By the time of their next recording, for the 'Get back / Let it be' project, any involvement by Martin was further diminished by the band, and partly to his undoubted relief as much as deep disappointment, he was replaced by the controversial producer Phil Spector.
Rev#9 is obvs unlistenable, but it's so easily skipped; and it would be impossible to pare the album down to a single, as there's so much quality, dontcha think?
It's simply NOT the White Album without Revolution 9! Like it or not skip it or not!
Many people will agree with me that listening to Yellow Submarine album would be kind of a waste of time. I say it because it wasn't even a whole Beatles project. It feature only 4 new songs, and more than half of the album is literal soundtrack, wich was not made by The Beatles. You could watch the 4 songs later, it'll be a lil better. It's different of the "Magical Mistery Tour" thing, because at least the songs that weren't part of the original release project, were actual new songs for you and made BY THEM
So the natural way is lead to Let it Be album, that was released after "Abbey Road", but just because of problemas in the production and recording of the movie, because it was fully recorded before "Abbey Road".
So, if you wanna see the real evolution of them, you should go straight to Let it Be, and follow to Abbey Road
Okay interesting thank you for informing me
Yeah, I have to agree
@@princeshanghai George Martin's soundtrack music for Yellow Submarine is well worth hearing, and I guarantee that you'll love it!
Did you know that the Beatles were knighted as knights of the realm by the Queen of England?
Makes to much sense haha LEGENDS
Sexy Sadie was written by Lennon about there spiritual guru in India, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's unwanted sexual advance on actress Mia Farrow. This trip was the inspiration for the majority of The White Album and this event would mark the end of there spiritual excursion. Lennon was furious about what had happened and that he had to clean up the mess and confront the guru directly. In an interview about this Lennon vividly describes looking into the gurus face and seeing the guilt in his eyes, as both men knew what he had done, before even saying a word. George Harrison didnt want to believe it had happened. He was upset with Lennon for writting the song and eventually convinced him to change the name to Sexy Sadie.
Crazy sh!T here thank you for the information wow
@@princeshanghai I love that you're learning about all the DRAMA
Revolutions make people feel, fucked up. An advant-garde piece of sounds, mostly by John and Yoko, I would guess.
John was more outspoken when it came to viewpoints both in interviews and on records. He has also gotten into all kinds of trouble because of it over the years. Eventually John wanted to become a citizen of the US. The FBI and the Nixon Administration didn't want him in the US and did whatever they could to try and get him deported. He had the ear of the youth and could turn them against us. But, Nixon had to resign and I guess their big investigation dried up. A popular in conspiracy circles is that if he had remained in retirement, he might have lived longer. But he went into retirement in 1975 after gaining his citizenship and to spend time with his new son. In 1980, he came out of retirement. About two months later he was killed by a 'deranged' fan. Some say the killer was some kind of Manchurian candidate with instructions to kill John if he puts out another album. Oddly, every song on the album was very non-political.
Paul was political, too, but you can see he is more coy about it. He was able to turn a metaphor into a song like that. It comes across as pretty but could be hiding something. He is definitely a master of PR. Still is. 'Helter Skelter' is just a song about a specific slide in a park. Beyond that, probably the first flat-out heavy metal song. Meanwhile, people were looking for clues in Beatles' songs back then. I was one of these. But so was Charles Manson. Unfortunately, he was allegedly reading clues throughout the album that he was being signaled to launch a race war, etc. Of course, Paul denies that was his intent.
Also arguably worth mentioning is that this album has several clues proving Paul McCartney was dead at the time this was recorded. It was a very strange time indeed. (Hint: The 'Number 9, Number 9' you hear on 'Revolution 9' is heard to say 'Turn Me On Dead Man, Turn Me On Dead Man' if played in reverse.
A good documentary to learn more about The Beatles is "How The Beatles Changed Music" by the CZcams Channel "The Beat Goes On" its about 26 minutes but its not boring with lots of cool and helpful visuals.
Ouuuu thank you I love good CZcams videos I’ll check it out
My man please fix the battery in your smoke detector. Either that or you have carbon monoxide in your house.
