Gabe and Nick react to the Beatles song, While My Guitar Gently Weeps. This is one of Gabe’s favorite songs. He had no idea until recently that it was a Beatles song. Nick has never heard it before. Gabe wants to turn the tables on this experiment and has Nick react to it.
Original video found: • While My Guitar Gently... - Zábava
This is my favorite Beatle song, 2 reasons, George wrote it and big Clapton fan as well. I remember when it came out. Clapton 1st guitarist recorded with Beatles. George said he wrote this song as this period was when Beatles were breaking up. Truly heartfelt song as to what they had been and where it had gotten to.
For me, this song is at the very pinnacle of the Beatles' prodigious output. No question.
If you havent heard this then you haven't heard anything. This is one of their most iconic and greatest songs. Clearly youve only heard the early stuff.
Dude, seriously just show him I Want You (She's So Heavy), Yer Blues, Helter Skelter, and Oh Darling.
AND "Here Comes the Sun," even "When I'm 64" to show the diversity of styles they could do. ALSO play him "HEY BULLDOG"
Day tripper, Paperback Writer, I'm Down, Revolution
@@bobrush4217 I think the problem is that the guy showing him the songs doesn't understand the significance of the Beatles and why they're still so popular. They absolutely have songs this guy would like, but the other guy doesn't know them.
& ‘tomorrow never knows’
All three George Harrison Beatles songs (Something, Here Comes the Sun and While my Guitar Gently Weeps) are in my top ten. George was just hitting his stride when Beatles broke up. Important to note that all 4 of the Beatles were under 30 years old when the band broke up. They accomplished so much in the 8 years they were together!
George wrote more than 3 Beatles songs. Within You Without You, Love You To, Piggies, Savoy Truffle, If I Needed Someone, I Want to Tell You, etc.
@@welltoucansamatthatgamenot to forget Taxman
I me mine
The recordings of the Beatles was 8 years in duration. John, Paul and George were a band around 13 years.
George tried to write songs, but kept hitting brick walls with it. So he asked Paul to teach him, but Paul refused to, so George went to John and he agreed to help him. The first thing John told him to do was write the lyrics, then work on the musical composition, which was how John wrote his songs.
I didn't fully realize just how beautiful this song is until I heard George's slow demo with acoustic only.
As far as Beatles sounding different.....every song was different. They didn't belong to a genre. They WERE a genre.
Guys you need to listen to "The White Album" in its entirety. Such diversity.
This track wasn't released as a single (in the UK at least) so it may not be so familiar as the others you've heard. In my top Beatles tracks, most certainly.
I loved the Beatles probably the best song writers ever
Hands down!!!❤
The solo guitar was a guest performance by Eric Clapton. George had trouble getting the sound he wanted and tried many takes with different engineering ideas to no avail, then in the end invited Clapton in to have a go at it. Whether Clapton's effort echoed in any way what George had wanted to play himself, or was completely original, I don't know. But it's great.
He'll love Dear Prudence and Across The Universe
George Harrison wrote this..His songs were quite unique even for the beatles..Eric Clapton played the guitar solo..
Cheers guys🙏
I think Cream had just disbanded at the time of recording, so George asked his good friend Eric, if he would play on this song.
A very different song? But Nick, "difference" is the hallmark of the Beatles. It's what makes them so great. If you don't know quite a bit about the Beatles, you'll find it impossible to believe that "From Me to You" and "I Am the Walrus" are by the same band. Or the difference between "Michelle" and "Helter Skelter".
And that "Michelle " and, "Helter Skelter " were written and sung lead by the same person, Paul McCartney!
@@sarahfullerton6894 Indeed!
@@sarahfullerton6894 "Michelle" is both Lennon and McCartney. Lennon wrote the chorus.
The different Beatles offered something different, the different periods offered something different
the orchestral (?) version of this song with the ballet dancer in the video is also so beautiful!
20 years from now all music will be released and the Beatles will dominate today like back then. They're just different and I can't explain it?
All their songs are different. You want another hard rocker try "Hey Bulldog"👍👍👌👌✌✌😁😁
As others have noted, this was an George Harrison's friend Eric Clapton who played the guitar solo, uncredited. In addition to Clapton, numerous other musicians played on various Beatles tracks as well, including George Martin on keyboard a number of times, Nicky Hopkins who played piano on Revolution, Rolling Stones guitarist Brian Jones playing saxophone on You Know My Name, Look Up the Number, several of the Beatles' wives on occasional background vocals, and the various strings, brass & woodwinds that played on a number of the more orchestral arrangements. But to my knowledge, none were ever officially credited on any Beatles release, until keyboardist Billy Preston was officially credited on the Let It Be album.
The Beatles are a very greay and very diverse band, they covered quite a few sifferent sounds. This is their only song with a guest guitarist, Eric Clapton. George was playing the acoustic guitar, Paul on piano and bass, John on organ and maybe a 6-string bass doubling Pauls line, and Ringo of course on drums and percussion.
I'd love for you to check out their song "Rain." It's not too well known of a song, and on the surface it seems very simple. But once you read about it, it's a very creative song with all of the tape manipulation stuff they did.
You both should listen and react to the Beatles helter skelter from the same album
Happiness is a warm gun and revolution way better
Easy top 10 for me. It's magnificent.
This like top tier prime The Beatles. Everything from the Sergent Pepper album is fire.
Eric Clapton on the weeping guitar.
The thing with The Beatles is they recorded every genre and did it better than most,something for everyone.
I’ve heard people say “I don’t like The Beatles”
What I hear is …….. I don’t like music.
GOOD ONE!! "What I hear is.....I don't like music" when someone says "I don't like the Beatles" I will have to USE that. I could NEVER understand how ANYONE could say "I don't like the Beatles" because if they had ever bothered to listen to all their songs, they would CERTAINLY fine AT LEAST ONE song, and surely MORE than one, that they would actually like. Their music was SO DIVERSE.
You guys need to listen to Rain, Hey Bulldog, I Want You (She's so Heavy), Helter Skelter, Tomorrow Never Knows, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Revolution, Something... from Revolver on
Dude needs to hear "I Want You (She's SO Heavy)" from Abbey Road. It's a vibe!
How has a person of that age never heard this song ffs!? No way 😂
Beautiful song
I can't believe you've never heard this! You should both do a reaction to the entire "White Album". Without a doubt, The Beatles "White Album" and Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti" are my 2 favorite albums of all time.
The Beatles had so many different styles and genres. All you've been focusing on is their hit singles. So much more to the Beatles than that.
Peace
The reason I think you’ve never heard of the song is it’s a George Harrison song. And the guitar on this is played by Eric Clapton, not Harrison
Fue la primera vez que se usaba en un tema una quinta en un bajo,.por eso ese sonido pesado del bajo grande Paul y temazo de George!
Fabián y el sonido de " ballena" de Paul junto al lamento de George.Simplemente épico
Lived 50yds from George’s brother he was a regular visitor bringing gifts for his nephew & niece, a real gentle bloke.
G'day Guys! My favourite version of this song is from the "Concert for Bangladesh" with Eric Clapton, George Harrison Ringo Starr and Leon Russell on bass I think...Cheers!
Check out Concert for George when Prince shreds the solo,great stuff.
Oh shit,
You have 65 years of KNOWLEDGE to catch up on.
The bad news is YOU MISSED THE PARTY.
Masterpiece
Funny you guys bring up how different it sounds to other Beatles output, namely because it's George Harrison striking gold with Eric Clapton, to the point where, and I quote; "Eric said, ‘Ah, there’s a problem, though; it’s not Beatlesy enough.’ So we put the song through the ADT [automatic double tracker] to wobble it a bit.”
The lyric "I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping" strikes me almost like a zen koan. The whole song just seems to be borne out of a kind of rapture
This was it. The last radio song before Bonzo died😢
Then silence.
IMHO, this is George's best song.
The great Eric Clapton played guitar on this uncredited. You should check out the Tom Petty Jeff Lynne Prince tribute cover it’s 🤩 x😊
Was just about to say the same thing about the Tom Petty megastar band tribute including George Harrison’s son!
If that's the one where you hardly see prince till the end, then yeah it's amazing and my favourite version.
@@cyrus2728 Yes Prince is amazing but I do question him slightly disrespecting George to prove a point to his critics.
Love these music reviews you are doing, may I request reacting to Queen - These Are The Days Of Our Lives. His last song , sung basically on his deathbed. A true performer to the end.
The guy that destroyed those guitar solos was George's buddy Eric Clapton who asked him to join in the session.
happiness is a warm gun
Definitely Revolution
Oh, and the leed guitar was played by Eric Clapton which was at George's request.
First time I have listened to you guys. Have you heard Helter skelter. know as the song which influenced Punk rock.
Most oeople, iver timez end up ranking that in their top 10 Beatles songs. It's risen to top 2 or 3 for me. Next level atuff.
They all (except Ringo) played guitar. George was usually, but not always, the lead. However this was George's friend Eric Clapton making a guest appearance on lead.
Hi guys! This song was written by George and sung by George and George brought his friend Eric Clapton into the studio to play this guitar part and it's the best Eric Clapton has ever sounded in his life. I guess playing with The Beatles kind of does that to you.
ALL songs back in the early, mid sixties and even into the later part of the sixties, were less than 3 minutes long. If you wanted your record PLAYED ON THE RADIO, they had to be NO longer than 3 minutes and preferably less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds. It WASN'T JUST the BEATLES' whose songs were short then. "HEY JUDE" by the BEATLES was the FIRST song that radio actually played a song that was longer than 3 minutes AND did NOT FADE it out or edit it to a shorter length (Hey Jude was 7 minutes long or so) YOU NEED TO PLAY GABE, back to back "HELTER SKELTER" and "HERE, THERE and EVERYWHERE" SEE if he likes ONE of those. THEN after listening, ask him WHICH Beatle is singing each song. I would LOVE to see THAT reaction
Try the Beatles song Revolution
Not another Beatles 'Jingle' for crying out loud!!!!!!!
Play the medley from Abby Road
I love instrumental solos. But it's a mistake to think of them, as the crucial quality of a song. While my guitar... isn't fundamentally better than She loves you. In 1963 While my guitar... wouldn't have been possible. A development in modern popular culture first had to be stimulated, which was not least initiated by the Beatles. What I want to say with that is, that She loves you did more for the advancement of pop and rock, than While my guitar...
While my guitar... is in my personal Top 40 of the Beatles tracks. And it cannot be stressed enough, that the Beatles discography spans around 20 different genres.
WELL SAID, and absolutely TRUE!!! I keep trying to tell reactors that who dismiss their early songs as "fluff", IF it wasn't for what they are calling "fluff" we wouldn't have HAD their later music that most reactors like. It was a process. PLUS their early songs were VERY revolutionary and different from what we were hearing on the radio at that time.
At the end Paul "whaling"
They play over 50 different genres. Listen to Helter Skelter!
You two need to listen and hear the Beatles. My god, please work your way through all their albums in sequence and post your reactions. Sgt Pepper’s, the White Album, Revolver, Rubber Soul, Let It Be, and Abbey Road.
How about you expose him to harder rock Beatles such as Helter Skelter, Revolution-live video version, I Want You, Come Together, Everybody got Something to Hide, except Me and my Monkey, Yer Blues, Don't Let Me Down, I've Got a Feeling, etc.
Eric Clapton payed lead guitar on this track.
More beatles pls...oh darling (paul)...dont let me down(John) something (george) yellow submarine ( ringo)
It is a little bit before Led Zeppelin and Cream. I think the Who and Kinks were doing this sound.
Try Helter Skelter. Some say this was the start of Heavy Metal.
Ringo drives this song.
Maybe try Hey Jude, Norwegian Wood, Let It Be ...
And saying The Beatles don’t have a real hard rock n’ roll song? “Helter Skelter” from the White Album where WMGGW came from? “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” from Abbey Road?
This is in my top 10 of Beatles songs. I love George Harrison. Some of my most liked and most disliked Beatles songs are by him. I’m glad you liked the guitar solo. It was done by George’s buddy, Eric Clapton. I agree, it was right on in the spirit of the song.
Hi guys, There's a brilliant, beautiful cover of this by Carlos Santana feat. India Arie Simpson & YO-YO Ma you definitely need to check out🎸🇬🇧✌️🇺🇸🎸
Eric Clapton played on that song as well
George Harrison was one cool cat.
Clapton played the lead guitar
You gotta listen to I want you she’s so heavy
The solo was Eric Clapton
Have you guys been introduced to a British Band called Sleep Token yet ? Their music Is incredible
Now listen to revolution, happiness is a warm gun and something
Clapton on guitar
eric clapton played the solo
If you like Metallica, you should listen to The Beatles - Helter Sketer. It's the first heavy metal song ever. The Beatles' heaviest song
This is George Harrison song entirely -- the guitarist is Eric Clapton (mad story, they were both in love with patty) Paul especially and John tried to block this -- why George got mad as never listened to. NOT BEATLES. This song RULES -- check out Prince cover
Like the red shirt guy, I love the Beatlemania songs (earlier period), but in the early videos, he has a knack for showing the least interesting videos of those songs. He wasted Help, Eleanor Rigby (that vid was a freaking 2010+ Apple vid so it has nothing to do with the Fab Four as a creative force), A Hard Days Night (why didn’t you use the official film video?), She Loves You (man, that was the most boring video choice ever, so sedate; why not use the Ed Sullivan Show’s Beatles performance vid that kicked off Beatlemania)? His video choices, which somehow influence how we “see and hear” songs (hello, MTV), were like really WTF choices… and not in a good way, if you ask other Beatles fans. He just doesn’t make the most compelling case of why the band’s sound and personalities set off a whole new cultural and musical shift. I don’t blame his friend for “not feeling” those videos OR those subpar versions of those awesome songs. Next thing you know, he would introduce his friend to Yesterday with a clip from that Patel movie. It is just so frustrating the way he presents The Beatles in the worst way possible.
Also, WMGGW is not some obscure Beatles song so there is no excuse to not knowing that masterpiece (and Eric Clapton was the one who was invited to play lead because George was beefing with the band at the time so he invited an outsider to the record).
That red shirt guy is like that Beatles fan who know all 27 #1 hits of the band… and nothing else from the band’s repertoire aside from the usual suspects like Come Together, Strawberry Fields, etc. Not dissing; just majorly not gonna choose him on my team if the goal was to convince non-believers that The Beatles are the greatest band ever. LOL I’d love for the college best friend to come onto my team though.
shouldn't it be called Whilst My Guitar Gently Weeps?
Composed by The Beatles only third best song writer ….
George had problems getting the other two to apply themselves to the song, so took Eric along to make the L&M to sit up and take it seriously.
Check out the live version with Prince, the best guitar solo ever.
Bro if he likes this song just show him anything from Abbey Road / White Album lmao
+1 I want you (shes so heavy)
@@slevin6544 it's good, but I think he will think it is monotonous, because the same lyric is repeated through the entire song.
wow these two no nothing
Do, come together!!!!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!
If you havent heard this then you haven't heard anything. This is one of their most iconic and greatest songs. Clearly youve only heard the early stuff.
Nope. Like I said in the video I’ve heard most if not all of their songs besides this one. I’ve listened to all anthology CDs the number one hits and countless records my dad used to play.
@@BoringReviews but it's on the anthology albums... and their best selling self titled album... liar.
