@@vonclohk507 It's hard not to like Neil's classic songs. But I agree with George regarding Neils soloing, and I don't think that view is all that uncommon! :-)
Great editing my friend - love how you've done the photos effects at the beginning. On another note I've never understood why The Hollies got dissed so much - as a Beatles fan I can also very much appreciate the Hollies too (melodic, well packaged pop songs, awesome production).
I chalk the negativity up to PTSD. I don't think any one of them ever got over the breakup of the Beatles and the internal trauma. Watch any of their many interviews over the years after. They are certainly ready to nitpick and carp at each other a bit, but let someone from the outside toss even a mild bomb at the group and each would circle the wagons. They were really thin skinned despite being the greatest musical act of the twentieth century, maybe that played into their success I don't know. But I think their criticism of others comes out of dealing with the pain of their loss.
I loved Elvis, but Lennon's criticism of him as his career neared its end was pretty valid. I saw Elvis in 1976 and it was a pretty sad affair. He sounded good on a lot of his songs, but he was so bloated and out of shape that he could barely stand up in place, let alone command the stage with the kind of high energy that he had just a few years before. The jumpsuits made him look worse. From 1968 though 1978, I attended over one hundred major concerts. I saw Ray Charles, Grand Funk Railroad, Edgar Winter Group, Bad Company, Earth Wind & Fire, Sly & The Family Stone, Cheap Trick, Joni Mitchell, you name it; but the Elvis concert was the only one in which audience members were eating hot dogs, popcorn, and cotton candy! Who eats cotton candy at a concert? We always ate before or after a concert in those days!
Initially Beatles were great fans of Elvis but as the years went by & he became bloated and so full of drugs he couldn’t remember his words. His hair was apparently white at autopsy so I think he must have had a good deal of stress as well.
Phil Collins acted as child in the first Beatles film Yeah Yeah Yeah. George Harrison performed with Neil Young at Bob Dylans jubilee concert 1992. At last they loved each other.
Well I always wondered what the Beatles thought of Creedence Clearwater Revival. During this period the Beatles could be insular but John Lennon liked them . He said “ Now Creedence ,that is some real rocknroll ! “
Not surprising. They were raw, had a jug band past (think skiffle) Travelling Band Is Long Tall Sally, Chuck Berry ,Carl Perkins and some Country flavour in the mix (think I'll cry instead). He mocked Paul for listening to Classical and some experimental s**t and then Macca is Hello, goodbye and he Is Walrus, Strawberry Fields and Mr.Kite. Isn't he a bit like you and me? During their feud they were seen together at a Segovia concert and Lennon talked with B.B.King on the phone telling how he dreamed to play like him. Human...
I agree with the Beatles on this. Blood Sweat and Tears always seemed like a Vegas act. Neil Young can be painfully hard to listen to when he launces into one of his one or two note solos that goes on ad nauseum. The Hollies were bubble gum.
Saw BS+T at the Troubadour in 1967or 8. Compliments of cousin Shirley. Sat 5 ft. away from them and was literally blown away at how good and professional they were. Always loved horns and Saxophone in any band. I believe it was just before David Clayton Thomas took over lead singer. His voice made the band even more popular back then. Great memories of great times in music history.
It is never a good thing when when artists criticise their fellow musicians . They are all on the same journey . There is also the line of thinking that what goes around comes around .
I personally don’t mind it, as long as it’s honest and therefore not made out of some secret motive. That doesn’t mean I always agree with it by any stretch. I can also be amused without particularly siding for or against it. I’m just glad musicians are honest - though even there sometimes one will be gratuitously callous, like the way McCartney treated Phil Collins. But even that shows just how fallible humans are. McCartney offended his band mates at various times, and each of them offended each other as well etc. etc. etc. It’s life, though not at its best.
What is good for a musician to criticize ? Other musicians concerning things they know about, or should they only use their celebrity status to preach to all about things they are woefully ignorant about ?
Just remember the Beatles were from a post war working class area and had the famous Liverpool humour and "say it like it is" manner,not very different to Londoners. And tbh their opinions, were mostly on the nail lol..Todays kids, are a million miles from those days of incredible social and musical change.
Considering that john Lennons wife Yoko made God awful skreachy wails that she and john seemed to enjoy, you really cant trust his opinion on what is "bullshit".
Even though all four Beatles had great solo careers they could never quite distance themselves away from "that band." Therefore I believe (whether subconscious or not) that they were somewhat jealous of very successful solo artists that were known for THEM and not their past. Maybe not Ringo though, he didn't seem to have a jealous bone in his body.
Avatar types are famous for loveing "Everybody" but one on one they can be vicious. It's understandable if you think about it, try getting a billion random people to sing, "all you need is love", and see how far you get. You know there is a very heavy price one pays for that kind of accomplishment.
Well, they were the greatest band ever and entitled to their opinions just like anyone else. But I personally love the Hollies. The Air that I Breathe is a classic and it has soul.
Some CZcamsr made the insane claim that “your favorite musician never talked shit about anyone” cuz their art somehow put them above smack talk. I was wondering what the hell world he lives in. Musicians are mega egotistical. Ask me how I know. Rofl.
George Harrison is always portrayed as some angel. But I've seen and read too many snide, unkind comments and attitudes coming from him. He seems to have had a large chip on his shoulder.
It's quite normal that he expresses opinions among friends, just like the rest of us would do. I do think his diss of the Hollies were overly harsh though (even if correct). I guess he was overly sensitive regarding "If I Needed Someone" because it was his first "serious" song.
IMO, some people should be less sensitive about OPINIONS. In particular, musicians have been traditionally critical, since at least the classical baroque era. Many times that sensibility happens in the American culture . It is a particular trait that makes other people elsewhere seem too rude or perhaps brash. I think there is a bit of cultural misunderstanding of the intended attitude of critical people.
According Far Out Magazine: "When asked by Rolling Stone’s Jann S. Wenner if he liked anything at the top of the charts, Lennon held nothing back, lashing out at one of the year’s most prominent rock outfits. 'I don’t like the Blood, Sweat & Tears shit. I think all that is bullshit,' he began. 'Rock ‘n’ roll is going like jazz, as far as I can see, and the bullshitters are going off into that excellentness which I never believed in and others going off.' "
This is a lot of “making a mountain out of a mole hill”. Find some trivial, passings comment or minor criticism someone made, and then take it out of context, and blow it up into “scathing”, “hate”, and “disdain”.
I have to admit I am not a great Niel Young fan either , but to slam the Hollies and Blood, Sweat and Tears his heart to beat. Phil Collins and Genesis is major and even Sir Paul could not really dent Genesis. Criticism of Blood, Sweat and Tears and the Hollies is virtual suicide even from the Beatles
I don't think they were the best of their time . People of the time did but now when you listen to the radio the other groups of the time have songs that play more. I like only some of their songs But these other groups have many songs I like.
No wonder George got sick of being “a Beatle.” He was a private person, for the most part, and whenever The Beatles commented on anything or anyone it became fodder for the media. No surprise he didn’t like Neil Young, either. George was a perfectionist; Neil is far from that, which is why people love him.
Paul McCartney has no problems with Neil Young, they have even performed together "Why Don't We Do It on the Road", "A Day in a Life", and "Only Love Can Break Your Heart".
Thanks great!, very funny to see how serious they take themselfs. When i was a teenager we thought people who liked the other sort of music very stupid😅 we were the better persons...
Harrison is a great guitarist. The Beatles fine musicians. They are not omniscient NOR are they the prism by which we judge musical tastes. Are they willing to put their music through the same scrutiny by others? Not EVERY BEATLE song was great and frankly some utterly bad as far as tastes go.
Maybe Phil Collins was just too submissive towards Paul. If he had replied cocky, something like "Yeah my Beatles LP collection financed your first Rolls Royce", perhaps both would have laughed and the two would have gotten along well. I think especially when you meet a legend like Paul McCartney it's important to act normal and not like an admirer.
I am the biggest Beatles fan out there. But, The criticisms by Lennon and Harrison are not surprising. I’ve heard many interviews in which each criticized their own Beatles songs. Very harshly, actually. So, their criticisms of others isn’t unexpected. It really doesn’t matter what they thought. Lennon wrote, sang and recorded with Yoko Ono. Does anything else need to be said about him? Harrison’s first album post Beatles Is a classic. Most of Those songs were written and conceived when he was still a Beatle but couldn’t get them recorded then because of the Lennon/McCartney dominance. After that album Harrison didn’t really produce anything outstanding. The whole was greater than the parts. Their opinions mean and meant nothing.
I've been listening to the Beatles for ~45 years now and the Lennon/McCartney stuff has definitely grown OFF of me over the decades. George Harrison was the best songwriter in the Beatles. Countless bands over the past several decades have been trying to write "It's All Too Much" which was LIGHT YEARS ahead of its time. Even Sinatra said "Something" is one of the best love songs ever written.
'Even' Sinatra said it was one of the best love songs ever? Who, a guy who never wrote a hit song in his life? We should take that guys opinion? Okie dokie.
@@billboggs6641 you do know it all comes down to who has the money to promote their product, right? Elvis was promoted to a white MERICAN! audience, and it worked.
What so John Lennon wanted Elvis to sing Hound dog all his life or what? Elvis was ressurected in 1968 when he did his 68 comback special did John skipped this awesome show? and in 69 -70 Elvis was the best showman entertainer in the world! he was able to mixed rock and roll Blues country all in the same show Elvis will never get surpasses by anyone anytime soon!
Curiously enough none of l the Beatles songs that elvis covered was written by John .hey jude.yesterday lady Madonna. Get back all were McCartney songs while something was Harrison's.and except for that song all the others were signed Lennon/ McCartney and nobody knew back then who wrote this or that song cause they signed like that anyway so that must have been an instant karma. 😉
After 60 years of hearing Beatles songs I have had enough. If one comes on the radio I turn it off. I must of heard each and every one 10,000 plus times. Well and truly sick of the Beatles! There is so much more great music out there!
Musicians making petty comments about other musicians. Nothing new here. The twist is, most of them are even harder on themselves... they just don't express that publicly.
Is this one of those videos who have to play backward to be able to understand it? If your content doesn't support the title what good is it. I listened twice and did not hear a Beatle say they hated anyone. Style, sound ETC yes George hating the way someone plays his songs is miles away from hating the person. You're defaming one of the best bands ever with bullshit and deceptions just to lure people in to watch this.
BS&T were a way better band &individually as professional musicians. The Beatles were like kids in a garage. They can thank George Martin for lifting their standard otherwise they'd still be writing "love me do" level songs David Clayton Thomas was a killer vocalist and writer and front man
We all know music is a very subjective thing...Kind of like what we considered 'beautiful' is also subjective...So everyone is entitled to their likes and dislikes in music.. I'm sure there's those who love Yoko Ono's music and her singing, right?...Um, right?...Oh boy...Never mind on Yoko then, lol
Haha Gram Nash looks so funny! with that Elvis Pompadoured hairstyle. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪 George is right, they did no justice to his song. They sound like The Monkees on Speed or something. 🤪🤪
Well, Neil Young does suck, but as far as the song If I Needed Someone, I didn't care for it. I didnt like some of George´s songs because of his placement of the capo, making it sound like he was playing a damn electric ukulele or something.
To be fair, the last one is out of place. The Beatles (or Paul in particular) didn't hate Phil Collins. It was just an isolated event where Phil was trated condescendingly by Paul. Also, none of them hated Elvis. John only disliked his post-army phase.
Phil Collins butt hurt because he thought he was a peer of Paul McCartney. LOL Phil the Beatles wouldn't even of let you clean the john in their music studio. I know Paul wouldn't think to highly of your music, he doesn't need to say so.
@@nameynamename3758LOL he's not his peer. in any way possible. Also Collins seems to be a very petty guy, very outwardly angry at his fans when they stopped buying his records and said so when he quit music. He had a bloated sense of musical self importance.
John Lennon is right on Elvis' musical direction. Terrible material in the 1970s, bad albums. Those awful gospel songs. Elvis needed an adviser. Someone should have taken Tom Parker for a long drive into the desert, and left him there!
Georges Harisson, despite it was called the "quiet Beatles", in my eyes, he was the most hypocritical and deceitful of the four, always complaining that Lennon and McCartney composed the majority of the songs, that he was dissatisfied with his treatment in the band, while still with the Beatles, he has cheated his wife Pattie Boyd with the wife of his friend Ringo... Beside the fact that Paul gave him and teached him how to wrote songs, Harrison has often bitched McCartney in many post-Beatles interview... After the band's break-up in 1970, Harrison biggest hit single was "My Sweet Lord" who is renowned to be one of the most famous plagiarism case in music history. He stoled the song "He's So Fine" written by Ronnie Mack and recorded by The Chiffons in 1963, kept the music but changed the words to make it "My Sweet Lord", what that says a lot about the man, just listen to the way he mocked Neil Young who, btw, is a way better guitarist and song writer than Harisson by far...
You are 100% right neil young is far better guitarist and song writer than george! Im a big beatles fan but only like 4 george songs with them but thats 4 more than ringos beatle songs lol
@@Gaeliclass im a beatle fan but really only like lennon and mccartney beatle songs! Ringo beatle songs are the worst and georges aint much better except 5 good songs, and georges lead guitar playing was laughable.
@geetarman Yeah, I still know their songs by heart, especially the White Album, which is really just called the Beatles, I was 5 when they first hit, so of course I liked their first simple songs. 😆 🤣
George Harrison is light years away from Neil Young. Not only in terms of style but also in terms of technique. In one battle, Harrison would tear Young to pieces
…as Paul and Ringo and Mick and Keith have all become “Bing Crosby”, who i love and who was true to his creed…unlike Paul Ringo Mick and Keith who are all simply working for the $US…not much new from any of them in 30, 40 years ? They all long ago became simply entertainers…
…@user-eu8pe5jy2t…would that i could if your eu head wasn’t firmly lodged there…your ignorance of Crosbys career and Lennons excellent analogy has been lost on you…Once the country’s greatest jazz vocalist with the country’s greatest jazz orchestra he plunged into irrelevance in the 1950s and 1960s singing ever more crapulent material over and over again…like Paul and Ringo and Mick and Keith…a rock and roll oldies show by any other name…
Well there was one Beatle, Harrison not liking what the Hollies did with his song. The rest is ex Beatles John & George (surprise, surprise) not liking someone or some bands music and even one of Phil Collins not liking Paul. Probably should read some more books on the Beatles, kid. This thing is a joke and a pure click bait title.
The Hollies should NEVER have covered Bob Dylan for an entire album in 1969 A complete waste of their talent.. . George has a solid point on them covering If I needed Someone. I dont think they should have covered any Beatles song.
It would be quicker if George actually named the people he LIKED.
What? There was something negative about George?! For some reason everyone ignores how ungracious and petty he could be.

Music, like any other type of art, is all a matter of opinion. Frankly, I like all the above mentioned bands. Particularly the Hollies and Neil Young.
If Harrison disliked Neil Young, it was probably out of envy. 1971: Beatles already retired, Neil Young was surging!

When you are as passionately involved with art and its creation as the Beatles were, you see flaws unknown to others. It's an occupational hazzard.

After that album Harrison didn’t really produce anything outstanding. The whole was greater than the parts. Their opinions mean and meant nothing.
Harrison did not like the "Crazy Horse" aspect of Neil Young but I bet he liked the acoustic stuff.
Neil is more creatively talented than George was.
George was possibly a little jealous of Neil's one note solo on "Cinnamon Girl"?
It was second nature to Lennon to go into attack mode.
I've been listening to the Beatles for ~45 years now and the Lennon/McCartney stuff has definitely grown OFF of me over the decades. George Harrison was the best songwriter in the Beatles. Countless bands over the past several decades have been trying to write "It's All Too Much" which was LIGHT YEARS ahead of its time. Even Sinatra said "Something" is one of the best love songs ever written.
'Even' Sinatra said it was one of the best love songs ever? Who, a guy who never wrote a hit song in his life? We should take that guys opinion? Okie dokie.
After 45 years you didn't understand much. You sound like a maga trumper.
@@robovac3557maybe he never wrote songs, but his string of hit songs and performances tells me he knows a good song when he hears it
@@billboggs6641 you do know it all comes down to who has the money to promote their product, right? Elvis was promoted to a white MERICAN! audience, and it worked.
@@ofdrumsandchords LOL, okay.
LOL those egos
Right 🙄
What so John Lennon wanted Elvis to sing Hound dog all his life or what? Elvis was ressurected in 1968 when he did his 68 comback special did John skipped this awesome show? and in 69 -70 Elvis was the best showman entertainer in the world! he was able to mixed rock and roll Blues country all in the same show Elvis will never get surpasses by anyone anytime soon!
Curiously enough none of l the Beatles songs that elvis covered was written by John .hey jude.yesterday lady Madonna. Get back all were McCartney songs while something was Harrison's.and except for that song all the others were signed Lennon/ McCartney and nobody knew back then who wrote this or that song cause they signed like that anyway so that must have been an instant karma. 😉
Wtf is the glitch at 1:16?!
01:16 Why did you skip the John Lennon clip? The video just jumped. Sloppy editing.
After 60 years of hearing Beatles songs I have had enough. If one comes on the radio I turn it off. I must of heard each and every one 10,000 plus times. Well and truly sick of the Beatles!
There is so much more great music out there!
I wasn't a fan of Neil Young's one-note guitar solos either. It just fills a space where music should be.
Is there a hero out there with a tl;dr ?
It seems this video skips before we hear John’s opinion on BS&T. It’s a shame, as I’m a BS&T fan and would like to hear what his criticisms were.
Typical Limey views of early rock and roll
each other and two more?
Musicians making petty comments about other musicians. Nothing new here. The twist is, most of them are even harder on themselves... they just don't express that publicly.
It’s all music. Screw their opinions. Talking smack about Phil Collins, Neil You g, screw the Beatles
Phil Collins was right ---Macca was a sarcastic little shite !
Is this one of those videos who have to play backward to be able to understand it? If your content doesn't support the title what good is it. I listened twice and did not hear a Beatle say they hated anyone. Style, sound ETC yes George hating the way someone plays his songs is miles away from hating the person. You're defaming one of the best bands ever with bullshit and deceptions just to lure people in to watch this.
BS&T were a way better band &individually as professional musicians.
The Beatles were like kids in a garage.
They can thank George Martin for lifting their standard otherwise they'd still be writing "love me do" level songs
David Clayton Thomas was a killer vocalist and writer and front man
Wrong
We all know music is a very subjective thing...Kind of like what we considered 'beautiful' is also subjective...So everyone is entitled to their likes and dislikes in music.. I'm sure there's those who love Yoko Ono's music and her singing, right?...Um, right?...Oh boy...Never mind on Yoko then, lol
That last sentence or two of yours is enough to make you question John Lennon's judgement. Especially after you see his first wife.
Yoko does a great rendition of "Sweet Child O' Mine". Check it out!!
Agree with the Beatles on all five counts!
Neil Young is great. The Hollies wrote a few really great songs. Graham Nash was a major talent.
Haha Gram Nash looks so funny! with that Elvis Pompadoured hairstyle. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪
George is right, they did no justice to his song. They sound like The Monkees on Speed or something. 🤪🤪
The lead singer for "Blood sweat and tears" looks like an Oompah Loompah
🤣😂...
Neil young sounds likea cat being strangled.
McCartney never said he "hated" Phil Collins like your video title claims. Why are you lying just to get clicks? What a weasel thing to do.
The Beatles didn’t “hate on” anything. That’s not English. If anything they would “hate such and such”.
Unlike those in the USA, Britsh do not just up and hate, they dislike........
No reason to be snide about US slang.
Blood Sweat and Tears always sounded like the singer was taking a very painful bowel movement.
which one? they had several.
Well, Neil Young does suck, but as far as the song If I Needed Someone, I didn't care for it. I didnt like some of George´s songs because of his placement of the capo, making it sound like he was playing a damn electric ukulele or something.
To be fair, the last one is out of place. The Beatles (or Paul in particular) didn't hate Phil Collins. It was just an isolated event where Phil was trated condescendingly by Paul. Also, none of them hated Elvis. John only disliked his post-army phase.
Sensationalism at its worse.
Try doing something positive.
To be honest, except for Phil Collins, I like all the artists mentioned a lot more than I like the Beatles. Oh well; to each their own.
Rubbish, Elvis was loved by the Jealous Guy
Any true muscian would have admired Presley.
@@1963Austria exactly
Studio number 6
You edited the original Lennon opinion on BS&T
Why?
Harrison was right about Neil Young.
Who was John Lennon to dis BS&T and Elvis?
McCartney IS a 💩.
None of them were virtuosos.
Well I mean young wasn’t really a lead player and George being a lead player wasn’t much of a lead player ..
He was in Travelling Wilburys
Actually Neil was a lead player for Buffalo Springfield, CSN&Y, and solo with and without Crazy Horse.
Phil Collins butt hurt because he thought he was a peer of Paul McCartney. LOL Phil the Beatles wouldn't even of let you clean the john in their music studio. I know Paul wouldn't think to highly of your music, he doesn't need to say so.
what are you talking about? if he saw paul as a peer he wouldn't have asked for an autograph
@@nameynamename3758LOL he's not his peer. in any way possible. Also Collins seems to be a very petty guy, very outwardly angry at his fans when they stopped buying his records and said so when he quit music. He had a bloated sense of musical self importance.
@@markp8581 bro did you even read what i said
@@nameynamename3758 I sure did, I just had more to say
@@markp8581 your first sentence in the reply shows you didn't
John Lennon is right on Elvis' musical direction. Terrible material in the 1970s, bad albums. Those awful gospel songs. Elvis needed an adviser. Someone should have taken Tom Parker for a long drive into the desert, and left him there!
Paul and millions of us also don't like Phil Collins's music.
Funny I like one or two song of these five…
😂😂😂Beatle superiority
Georges Harisson, despite it was called the "quiet Beatles", in my eyes, he was the most hypocritical and deceitful of the four, always complaining that Lennon and McCartney composed the majority of the songs, that he was dissatisfied with his treatment in the band, while still with the Beatles, he has cheated his wife Pattie Boyd with the wife of his friend Ringo...
Beside the fact that Paul gave him and teached him how to wrote songs, Harrison has often bitched McCartney in many post-Beatles interview...
After the band's break-up in 1970, Harrison biggest hit single was "My Sweet Lord" who is renowned to be one of the most famous plagiarism case in music history. He stoled the song "He's So Fine" written by Ronnie Mack and recorded by The Chiffons in 1963, kept the music but changed the words to make it "My Sweet Lord", what that says a lot about the man, just listen to the way he mocked Neil Young who, btw, is a way better guitarist and song writer than Harisson by far...
You are 100% right neil young is far better guitarist and song writer than george! Im a big beatles fan but only like 4 george songs with them but thats 4 more than ringos beatle songs lol
@geetarman Ringo is a sweetheart, though.
@@Gaeliclass im a beatle fan but really only like lennon and mccartney beatle songs! Ringo beatle songs are the worst and georges aint much better except 5 good songs, and georges lead guitar playing was laughable.
@geetarman
Yeah, I still know their songs by heart, especially the White Album, which is really just called the Beatles, I was 5 when they first hit, so of course I liked their first simple songs. 😆 🤣
George Harrison is light years away from Neil Young. Not only in terms of style but also in terms of technique. In one battle, Harrison would tear Young to pieces
…as Paul and Ringo and Mick and Keith have all become “Bing Crosby”, who i love and who was true to his creed…unlike Paul Ringo Mick and Keith who are all simply working for the $US…not much new from any of them in 30, 40 years ? They all long ago became simply entertainers…
ringo has toured consistently/annually since the beatles broke-up. music is entertainment. remove head from rectum
…@user-eu8pe5jy2t…would that i could if your eu head wasn’t firmly lodged there…your ignorance of Crosbys career and Lennons excellent analogy has been lost on you…Once the country’s greatest jazz vocalist with the country’s greatest jazz orchestra he plunged into irrelevance in the 1950s and 1960s singing ever more crapulent material over and over again…like Paul and Ringo and Mick and Keith…a rock and roll oldies show by any other name…
@@jamesnash7262 hysterectomy for you missy
The Beatles had great taste.
Well there was one Beatle, Harrison not liking what the Hollies did with his song. The rest is ex Beatles John & George (surprise, surprise) not liking someone or some bands music and even one of Phil Collins not liking Paul. Probably should read some more books on the Beatles, kid. This thing is a joke and a pure click bait title.
The Hollies should NEVER have covered Bob Dylan for an entire album in 1969 A complete waste of their talent.. . George has a solid point on them covering If I needed Someone. I dont think they should have covered any Beatles song.
There were times when John and George thought The Beatles were rubbish.
