The Music Gods smiled upon Earth - and gave us The Beatles !!!! 😀
We are forever grateful !!!
The distortion in this is 50% of this tune's greatness.
The musical backing is from the single, distortion and all. They sang live to the recording. Guitarists spend hours trying to get that sound on their guitars. There are what is called fuzzboxes, that have buttons, the musician steps on and off to get the sound live. The Beatles did it by plugging the guitar straight into the recording panel.
John plugged it in all by himself I believe🙂
Gotta be one of the top 5 guitar tones ever recorded! 🎸💥
I think the distortion was a deliberate effect to add a bit of Chaos.
John's amp was bad. George tells that to Paul at the beginning.
@@Richard2003 They were miming the instrumental part. It was recorded at Abbey Road for the single. Have you ever listened to the single? The guitar has the same distortion.
@@Richard2003 John Lennon in Rolling Stone magazine, 1968: "On 'Revolution' I'm playing the guitar… It sounds the way I wanted it to sound."
The fuzzy distortion was John's idea and the others went along with it.
Folks may want to listen to the Stones' number 1 hit Satisfaction from '65. Wiki says the Kinks sliced their specker cones to get the sound on You Really Got Me, in '64. The Beatles had a pretty fuzz-heavy bass on Think for Yourself on the Rubber Soul album in 1965.
Each of the Beatles topped the charts as solo artists more than one time each after the band broke up. Ringo even started in a very successful movie comedy called Caveman😮😊
At last, Revolution!!!!! Knew Gabe would like it. Btw the extra distortion was deliberately used on the original recording. Thanks guys. Good to see Gabe happy!!
Here is the answer to the distorted guitar question. It was juat as Lennon wanted it. This is from Geoff Emerick, the engineer that produced the sound. He should know. The distorted sound was achieved by direct injection of the guitar signal into the mixing console. Emerick later explained that he routed the signal through two microphone preamplifiers in series while keeping the amount of overload just below the point of overheating the console. This was such a severe abuse of the studio equipment that Emerick thought, "If I was the studio manager and saw this going on, I'd fire myself."
I love seeing your bro “discover” how GOOD / REVOLUTIONARY The Beatles are / were.
George Harrison: All Things Must Pass it was the first triple studio album released by a solo artist; it was a success with both critics and audiences, reaching number 1 in the charts in the United Kingdom and the United States. When it came out it greatly surprised critics, who had long underestimated the guitarist's talent. The album contains 23 tracks overall, including My Sweet Lord and Beware of Darkness.
This was the B Side to Hey Jude. We were allowed to play Hey Jude at the youth club but this was banned! Happy days.
Really enjoyed that lads, thankyou xxx
Great. I remember in 1968/69, this fantastic song being played at our local roller_skating rink. Perfect music for skating to.
Yeah, we knew you'd get it in the end Gabe. We've been sitting gently giggling thinking, "yep, the penny's going to drop soon" :)
Unfortunately Nick, I’m with Gabe …. My Number One Beatles song…..so much power in this, that if you told someone that didn’t know that this was The Beatles, they probably wouldn’t believe you….
Gabe needs to hear Dylan's "Masters of War" from 1963.
Get well soon, Gabe!
boy,gabe... you really had an epiphany today!!😊
It's half playback. The distortion is so on record. Lennon takes the fuzz guitar style to the next level with this in 1968.
China was completely irrelevant as a record market at this time.
For Preston fans: Billy Preston is not on this song, the keyboards are played by Nicky Hopkins and Paul McCartney.
Correct. An electric piano overdub by Nicky Hopkins was added on 11 July, with final overdubs taking place on 13 July and mono mixing on 15 July.
I bought this when It came out in the UK
I bought it for Hey Jude on the A side
I took it back to the record shop saying the B side was all distorted, I felt such a fool when I was told it was meant to be like it
That distortion is likely a Fuzz Tone pedal, which were real popular at that time. The Stones also help popularize it with "Satisfaction". It's basically a signal overdrive with attenuation and tone control.
The genius of The Beatles 🇬🇧
Power to the people should be your next listen.
all four had individual chart topping success! Several ones actually for each.
Ringo didn't here🇬🇧
@@clivenewman4810 true. In the US tho and then some extra songs in the UK.
I think it was Gen. Douglas MacArthur who said "old soldiers never die, they just fade away". What he meant was "old soldiers never die, young ones do".
One an only BEATLES
diggin' the Superman shirt, dude!
Still hoping you'll show Gabe "I Want You (She's So Heavy)". It's possibly the Beatles' heaviest song.
Except maybe Helter Skelter
It would have been great to have them as a band for 10 more years, but what more was there to accomplish? And when you said, they may have considered staying together 10 more years thinking they could have "a few more hits", I was like "huh"? With an additional 10 more years, I'm pretty sure they would have had a lot more than a "few more hits". They would have more than likely dominated the charts, the same way they did for the 8 years they were a recording band. In the 8 years they recorded, they (still) have the most #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 with 20 #1 hits, and 35 overall top 10 hits. And it's always important to remember that the Beatles are the biggest selling music artist of all time, and nobody else even comes close. Bigger than Michael Jackson, bigger than Elvis, bigger than Prince or Madonna or Drake or Rhianna, bigger than any other music artist that ever breathed air and walked the face of this earth. Do a quick google search and you'll see what I'm talking about. Do I wish they could have recorded for 10 more years? Absolutely! But they had already achieved unreachable status in the 8 years they were a recording band, so I'm pretty sure they really had nothing else to prove.
As usual, great reaction!
Peace
If the Beatles had the same criteria as today's artists of making a chart record-every song on every album they released would've been in the Hot 100-including Revolution 9. Today's artists like Taylor Swift release an album and every song charts-even if its unlistenable-like many of the hip hop "artists" of today. so I take today's chart accomplishments by today's artists with a huge grain of salt.
George Harrison had the best selling solo album of all the Beatles. He recorded a bunch of songs he wanted to record with the Beatles but they just didn't give him an opportunity to put enough of his songs. George Harrison probably had 3 or4 of the most played Beatles songs of all time
Perfect distortion.
4:01....'Johns mic is $hit!'......and intro from 'Do unto others' by Pee Wee Clayton.....Brilliant Beatles
That intro is virtually identical
@@seanjockel43 'A fine artist is one who makes familiar things new and new things familiar.' - Louis Nizer....Yeah, I'm not one who minds the steals in art...we hear it and see it in a lot of creative arts...and I actually enjoy finding out where an artist got a snippet from...
@lewistaylor1965 I agree to a point. Obviously there is a lot of $ at stake. Thus, one is OK but some artist [ dylan and zep) go too far.
Gabe is "around" and yes, you will love Back in the USSR.
Love this song , but how about. Artists from different years before & after the Beatles see how they where influenced, and others influenced by them
Please post other Beatles reactions quickly. Definitely check out here there and everywhere, i want you, hey jude
The distortion on this track was deliberate to try and give the song a harder edge.
Was used in a Nike commercial as well!
It's funny watching the guy in the Yankee's jersey start to figure out why the Beatles are considered the greatest band of all time... some of his earlier comments were so silly that I unsubscribed for a while... it will be funny to watch him realize how great most of the early songs are... because eventually he will realize that, too.... a good place to start would be to watch them perform "You Can't Do That" live in Australia at the Festival Hall in Melbourne, because it is a heavier rock song with nasty lyrics... and of course it is a "John" song
It's supposed to be distorted! Most of us had never heard such a t hing before.
You didn't hear Cream or Hendrix before 1968?
At the very beginning George tells Paul that John’s mic is shit.
The mono single version-flip of hey Jude the audio has a muffled distortion-on the Blue Beatles 1967-1970 album-the song is in stereo with the guitars not as distorted due to the mix-but there is no "bottom" due to the stereo separation-which is the downfall of most songs that were originally released as mono then re-channeled to stereo.
Still banned in China. Lennon sings - When you talk about destruction, don't you know that you can count me out - in.
Exactly. Not many reviewers or fans pick up on that
Lennon just being cute. The song actually warns against revolution.
John later said he added the “in” because even though his first instinct was always towards non-violence he was also human and thus susceptible to being swept up in the heat of the moment just like anyone else.
This comment is not to do with Beatles, but since you are heavily into Queen music, I thought you would be interested to know, that today it has been reported here in UK, that Queen Productions Ltd, the company equally shared by the three surviving band members and the Freddy Mercury Estate, have sold the rights to all Queen back catalogue of songs, to Sony Music, for One Billion Pounds.
It is the biggest price ever paid for this type of acquisition. The previous record was £471million paid by Sony for 50 per cent of Michael Jackson’s music.
William Wallace? Obviously thinks 'Braveheart' was a documentary.
No kilts, no blue face, no princess, Robert the Bruce was actually Braveheart. 😅
This is sorta live..the piano was added
They were singing to a backing track. Vocals are live but nothing else.
The piano was Nicky Hopkins
all the beatles were politically active but the two that were the most active were george and john
what is that old saying? "with great power comes great responsibility responsibility" ?
Look closely. George tells Paul that John's amp is shit.
Now you should check out "Revolution 1" from the album "The Beatles" aka "The White Album".
The promo film was the single with the "Ah, shu-bi-do, ahs" from Revolution 1.
If you're brave Nick, you guys will also react to "Revolution 9".
At over 8 minutes, it's not one of Gabe's "jingles".
Do not listen to "Revolution 9". It's terrible.😱
#9 is the worst "song" they ever recorded. 😞
All the Beatles were anti-establishment and their music and lyrics reflect a commentary on subjects such as world peace, the class system in the UK, civil rights and humanitarian issues. Although John was the most outwardly vocal especially with his wife Yoko Ono, Paul was very active with his wife Linda in bringing forward the issues of animal rights and vegetarian lifestyle as a way of life. You can look up the causes he supports and what he has done for his lifetime to support causes he believes in.
George was in some ways more cynical so his causes were more focused on particular causes such as famine. He organized and became the engine driving the first world wide concert of major artists to combat the famine in Bangladesh. George was outspoken in his own way and he was devoted to his change towards Eastern religion and philosophy.
Ringo is involved in supporting non-violence movements, especially for youth.
Collectively their impact on social culture and imparting the anti-establishment view had a large impact on youth culture and beliefs in the 60’s and beyond.
Also keep in mind that they are always kind of thumbing their nose at society. Making fun or being “cheeky”
4:02 ‘John’s mic is shit’.
There's something to say for quit whilst you're ahead.
All the Beatles were very politically active. The Beatles refused to play to segregated audiences in the south, forcing the laws to change. George was active for the Chinese invasion of Tibet. Paul often made comments about how "we all think the war is wrong" in several interviews. This is the first rock song mic'd directly to the board, and the sound was distorted. In the first few seconds you can see Goerge comment to Paul, "John's mic is shit".
Next you want to listen to Revolution 1 and...if you dare... Revolution 9.
A crazy obsessed fan? Maybe…..
The distortion on the guitars is exactly the same as it is on the recording because they're just singing along WITH the recording. For instance, there's no "Shooby Doo Wah" backgrounds on the recording. And you can hear Billy Preston's electric piano solo from the recording here, although he's nowhere to be seen. Even John's final "ALL RIGHT!" is heard even though he's already backed away from the microphone by that point.
Read the lyrics.
The song actually warns against revolution. He’s telling the left not to tear up the constitution over Vietnam.
Not to mention the right causing destruction in Vietnam.
Yes! Very few people get that. He was sick of slogans, political maneuvering, etc. He was like: Don’t try to sell us “revolution” by pushing your own agenda that doesn’t do anything for everyday people. Quit carrying signs and trying to tear things apart without a plan to create something better.
Please react to foil hoggs and arms : urinal politics, Lebanon and Israel it's 2 mins it's brilliant it's not what you think you would love it I was so wary of looking at it but it's funny and respectful to all.
We had no relationship with China whatsoever at that point so it wasn't about that. .
It’s not about selling or not selling records in China, silly rabbit. 😂 I don’t even think that the Chinese government allowed their people to be exposed to Western music or the arts at that time anyway. There were people in the U.S.A. and Britain who were supporters of Chairman Mao and used to carry around his Little Red Book. That’s who Lennon was addressing himself to.
