You got lots of views on this video, that’s no coincidence. This is the greatest band of all time. Listen to more of The Beatles. Don’t let these comments change you, keep your reactions pure and genuine; however try to keep an open mind. I’d recommend you listen to the white album next.
Thank you. It was my first attempt to broaden my musical horizon and I’m glad you didn’t take it to heart. Definitely caught myself singing some of these songs as days have progressed
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w Hey man! I would say music like the late beatles require more listening "experience" prior than most music usually requires. It doesn't mean that music that doesn't require musical experience beforehand is any worse for it, but truly timeless music has to be in some way challenging for the listener to stay timeless. But since that music is challenging you might not like it (or realize it's "greatness") on that first listen. But trust me, when you've learned to embrace the challenge of the music you're listening to by listening to more music of different genres and influences, it makes listening to music and truly engaging with it much more rewarding. (Doesn't only apply to The Beatles, ask the average person to listen to Yeezus and see how many people like it on the first listen...) There's a reason why we remember The Beatles and not some random pop band from the same time as them. It's because they challenge the listener, not just give them what they want to hear.
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w sorry about the comments too! but haha i will admit it caught me a bit off guard too when you said "not a lot happened" in come together haha
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1wThe Beatles did to modern music what Copernicus did to astronomy. But is it really that fascinating to learn about the Earth revolving around the Sun for someone born to this knowledge? As I love The Beatles, I don't really like this cult approach. You are innocent, arrogant, unapologetic, just as fresh youngster should be. Important part is you are open to explore and ONLY that matters. If John, Paul, George and Ringo would be modest none of the magic would have happened.
You think what is happening here is that you are critiquing an iconic Beatles album… actually, what is happening is that people are looking at your reaction and wondering about your lack of music sensibility. The Beatles are not on trial here, you are.
Goddamn, just accept he has a different opinion than you. It was exactly the snobby mentality of "your lack of music sensibility" that the Beatles ignored to revolutionize the music industry. And guess what, music has evolved well beyond what the beatles were capable of so, yes, it's okay to get bored of their album.
“Movement” is exactly what modern music lacks. You rarely hear a middle 8, key change, non diatonic chord or a time signature change in a modern chart song. Abbey Road is absolutely full of them. Whether you like it or not, it’s an album packed with masterful writing and creativity. Hopefully as your knowledge of music increases you’ll revisit it one day with a different perspective
I was thinking the same exact thing. He "thinks" there was no movement? I never thought I would hear someone say that about The Beatles' music. Just wow. Today''s music lacks a lot of things that music of the past had. It is the opposite of what he said.
He doesn't realize how unique the Beatles were for the time. Every band since has been influenced by the Beatles. So much so, that they are still gaining followers 55 years after they broke up.
@@Scaar81 He wasn't really listening. He was reacting for the camera. He was completely distracted from start to end. Fidgeting. Short attention span. He wasn't listening.
I love that he kept trying to make sense of lyrics. It’s not about the words. Sometimes word can be used like a music instrument. You combine them to make a sound, am abstract impression. It requires your imagination to make it work.
@@ricardocima hip hop is great, you're just listening to the wrong type of it. Paul mccartney himself would disagree with you. All the best from a huge beatles and hip hop fan.
@ I mean the issue of taking lyrics literally, I think it comes from hiphop. I’ve seen many reactions of Pixies or Nirvana, and most get completely lost trying to make sense. Nothing against hiphop.
He's so cute! Wearing his headphones over his hoodie and trying to "analyze" The Beatles. He is mostly respectful, and he deserves credit for that, considering he has no idea what music is.
Thank you. I already started to despair. After your response I realized it's just that he is immune to great music. Let him go back to Billy Eilish and such. I am quitting.
Funny enough, The Monkees were dope by the time they were taking psychedelics and making the Head movie and soundtrack. Even Frank Zappa was a fan of them.
this is the second so-called music producer I've come across doing reactions who has never listened to the Beatles.... God help us. He managed to listen to Come Together (book shop music) Something and I Want You and didn't notice the amazing bass for instance. After enduring this I realised he doesn't actually know how to listen to music. This was agonizing and every time he said something he revealed more of his inability to know what he is saying. He's said he will review more Beatles but I sure won't be watching.
I don’t want to criticize too harshly… he’s young, and we have all discovered new music at some point and didn’t understand it and wanted to voice our opinion. We’ve been in his shoes at much earlier points in time and not been able to embarrass ourselves to the world via the internet simply because these forms of media didn’t exist; otherwise we would have capitalized on them just like he’s doing. We were just fortunate enough not to speak our thoughts publicly or we would have sounded ignorant/arrogant too. But at least he’s trying. Let’s give him a shot to get it. I hated the dead for twenty years and now I “get it.” Beauty takes time
Very painful...filler? He doesn't realize it's an album to be played in one sitting! His comments on the mix are horrible and are completely uninformed.
@@MookCahill I agree. At the same time he records himself and flaunts how much he doesn't understand or know, choosing to embarras himself. He could've just put on some music in his home and relaxed and tried to get to grips with the new music like all of have done.
To be fair it took me a while to realize that the 2nd part of the album was a medley, it's not exactly specified. My parents who have listened to the beatles but aren't like active listeners of them didn't know that either
Those are not filler songs. The songs on the second half of the album were made deliberately to fade into one another to be a medley so they are shorter. They are meant to be listened to without pausing. You should listen to some of their other very popular albums! Revolver is my personal favorite (very experimental sounds that I think you would enjoy as a producer) , but Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (considered to be one of the first concept albums) is probably their most iconic next to Abbey Road. Either of these albums would be a good next step for your Beatles journey!
FYI - "Heavy" was a slang term for serious. Serious in a good way. Think of it as she's so fly, she's so bad, she's so cool, she's so hot, she's so dope, she's so (insert slang term of whatever generation you are part of). It does NOT refer to her weight LMAO!
I’m watching this right now, and I’m gen Z and a bit younger than you, and I’m a really big fan of The Beatles, and no disrespect to you at all for your opinions, everyone has different tastes in music, I would recommend listening to some of their other albums as well. They’re a pretty big part of music history and have done some pretty interesting things with their songs!
This was their last album and was their goodbye. It is the best curtain call of all time. The second side is intended to be a medley, an encore and a bow. They were not so much a product of their time as much as one of the main architects of the time. They trapeze effortlessly from genre to genre and even invented some along the way. Mostly, it was from a time when artists played their own instruments, sang without autotune, had imagination and didn't have to rely on a computer to pronounce a word. Having said that, I appreciate your honesty and taking the time to listen to an album from 1969. When you've had a chance to delve into other music from that time and acclimatize to the mood of the time, you may 'get it'. The fact that you're even listening to it 55 years after it topped the charts must mean something. I often wonder whether anyone would bother with the music you prefer 55 years from now? Maybe. But I would feel comfortable positing that 'Abbey Road' will be.
All of the band members sang lead on different songs. Usually whoever wrote the song, sang the lead. Re: the panning. This was still pretty early in the days of stereo mixing and a lot of albums from this time period hard panned everything...because they could I guess? lol. A lot of Beatles purists prefer the mono mixes of their albums. But as a musician myself, the stereo mix makes figuring out the parts so much easier! The 'tempo' changes in I Want You (She's So heavy) aren't actually tempo changes, they are switching between regular time and half time. The synth they used on this album (one of the first Moogs) was pretty much a brand new thing. There were a couple of albums out there that were only synth (Switched-On Bach for example) but people weren't really using them on pop albums yet. They definitely smoked pot and experimented with LSD, but for the most part they avoided it in the studio. An important thing to note was that this album was recorded on only 8 tracks. There was no copying and pasting like in today's DAW's. So in a lot of cases they recorded the whole band live on 5 or 6 tracks which left 2 or 3 for vocals and any overdubs. Prior to this album, they were recording their albums on only 4 tracks! Think about that. As a producer, think of how limiting making a song on just 4 tracks would be. This album was their swan song. The recording of their previous album had been a bit of disaster internally for the band with lots of arguments, people quitting the band and coming back etc. A couple of months after that experience I think they all sensed that the end was near and they decided that they wanted to do one last album like they used to and brought back their old producer (George martin) to keep them focused and in line. Album suggestions: If you want to do another Beatles album, it would interesting to go back a bit to Sgt. Pepper's Other bands albums: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of The Moon is often regarded as one of the best albums ever made. Rolling Stones: The Beatles main 'competitor' of sorts. Sticky Fingers or Let It Bleed would be a good place to start. Good stuff: Marvin Gaye - ‘What’s Going On’, The Beach Boys - ‘Pet Sounds’, Stevie Wonder - Innervisions, Bob Marley - Exodus, Radiohead - OK Computer, Miles Davis - Kind of Blue. Alright. I'll stop lol. Good luck in your musical history adventure. I was about your age when I starting thinking about the music that came before what I was listening to in the now. If you are a music lover, it's an amazing never-ending trip. Enjoy it!
I’m a millennial, and this reminds me of all the times I tried introducing my peers to The Beatles, Syd Barrett, and lots of other 60’s and 70’s classics, just to have them react with total indifference at best. 😭 This comments section makes me feel heard. lol
I feel that. I do like the underground modern stuff like mac demarco and tame impala great van fleet etc, but I feel like an outcast when I bring up band's from back then that they don't know and it's like the "hipster" stereotype where they go "you don't know this band from 1965? You have no taste..." What was my point I forgot? Main point: taste is subjective. Either you like the beatles or you don't.
There's no "filler" on this album. Side 1 was to please John who wanted a more straight forward rock n' roll sound, and side 2 was for Paul, which is why it's all connected with the exception of Here Comes The Sun.
Imagine not knowing about Something and not recognizing Kurt Cobain's voice on Something in the Way to the point of not being able to tell them apart. C'mon man, we're not talking deeply obscure music here, it's Beatles and Nirvana for Christ sake
I know there's people who don't know the difference because they haven't been exposed to music from other genres other than hip hop and pop. At least, that is what I have realized from the current generation, and I honestly can't blame them since the industry has pushed other genres like jazz, rock, funk, and others into the background or as elements of pop music. The times have been changing, but I just hope people never forget these classic musicians and songs that truly inspired others
I was 17 years old in 1988 when I discovered the Beatles--but even at that young age I understood what they were doing with their music and their genius was immediately apparent. I am absolutely shocked at how underwhelmed this young man was by this album in particular and the Beatles in general.
Looking back, it was like tasting sauerkraut. Not that I owe anyone an explanation, but their music to me is an acquired taste. Some songs I liked more than others, but some were just not it. And it has nothing to do with me being GenZ, I know a lot small minded individuals like to jump the band wagon and blame it on that. I absolutely enjoy music from the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. But at the time of this video, it was hard for me to see how these guys stood out musically but overtime Ive started to recognize their music more and more. Thanks for watching.
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w Since you claim to be a fan of music that existed before The Beatles, I’d like you to conduct a little experiment. Look up the Billboard charts for 1962 and 1963 and listen to a lot of the selections listed. Then do the same for music that came out after they arrived. See the difference? Their arrival and influence should never be underestimated. They changed the face of music.
Uffh, bro. this was a brutal watch. You REALLY need to expand your musical diet lmao. This feels like watching someone who’s only ever eaten McDonald’s have a meal that Gordon Ramsay personally made for them, and just they react with indifference and apathy lmao. I’m not a dork either, I don’t think there’s anything inherently better about “old” music when compared to new stuff, but lord, dude, Uffh. If you listen to Abbey Road and don’t immediately have a life-changing epiphany you might not be from this planet. No hate though you seem like a chill guy 🙏
If you listen to most songs on Abbey Road, they sound basic, besides I want You(She So Heavy) which is the only realy progressive song on the album, the album sounds like a standard 70s rock album. The medley is filled with unfinished tracks molded together be the band to make a musically connected side two, even Paul McCartney himself said the songs were filler, made from ild scraps of past songs from 65-68, watch the Get Back Serious, the songs were originally meant for the roof top concert, but were still unfinished at that point. Abbey Road is not their best album, its a great album, but I could see why people now a days wouldn’t bat an eye at it, times have changed, The Beatles are not number 1 no more, grow up with that fact
@@paranoidplane9799 Your own opinion buddy. I would say Led Zeppelin has the best discography, but you clearly don’t agree, seeing as you said The Beatles
@@rocknroll5941To start, what do you call basic? because abbey road is not basic at all. There are several tempo changes in his songs with Mixolydian, Doric and even Lorian modes. In fact, apart from I want you, here comes the sun and you never give me your money, it has a complex melodic structure. with atypical time signature changes in pop music. Basico is the first by Led Zeppelin or any Stones album. that repeat the pentatonic scale over and over again. That's basic
"I Want You, She's So Heavy"... cuts off like that because they just played until the tape ran out. They were pioneers in sound manipulation, studio tricks and pretty much wrote the book on all of the things you learn about producing and recording.
I Want You (She's So Heavy) was one of the experimental tracks on the album. That big build-up at the end was John Lennon's (rhythm guitar, vocals) idea. George Harrison's (lead guitar, backing vocals) Moog synthesizer they used on the album had the ability to generate a disturbing wave of white noise, and the point of that build-up was to create something rather Avant-garde or "experimental", the likes of which had never been heard on a mainstream record before. So they incorporated the white noise to give it that dramatic feel. It also closed side one of the album, right before the record stops and the listener had to flip it over to continue listening. It was a pretty clever way to end the first half, and speaks volumes about what the status quo was back in 1969. No one had done anything like it before, at least not on a commercial scale.
As a Gen Z Beatles superfan/disciple/acolyte/what have you, rest assured, there are many more like me in my generation. We're a diverse group of folks.
@@MrKeychange Woah, you never been in a group have you, most gen z people, have heard the beatles, but don’t care, I am a beatles fan, but seeing people gang up on this dude, who didn’t even hate the album, gave most of the songs over a 7 seem to miss the point of music, music is not about everyone liking the same thing because they were influential, or popular, but it’s subjective, if you guys can’t handle him not being interested in the album, then stop watching reaction videos, you get what you come for and leave, don’t go complaining about how he barely acknowledge the music, he probably just doesn’t you know… find it interesting as you would. This is must be how kids felt in the 60s when their parents said old music was better, maybe you know, time is repeating itself lol
@@rocknroll5941 I've not only been in groups, I've worked with John's friends. This video is essentially hating on something for clicks. If I made reaction videos to rap and realized I hated something, why would I take the time to make fun of it as it plays, edit and release it to an audience who loves it? I'd get clicks and a lot of hate engagement,. I don't think you understand trolling.
Just to give you a slight clue about music and stuff, that second track (Something) that was “a bit better” has been feted as the best love song ever written. But hey. Maxwell - best not to talk through lyrics. Octopuses (octopi) do actually make gardens by arranging rocks and shells. It is a thing. “Heavy” in context means intense. “Three minutes of music! Oh my god!” Short attention span, eh? I don’t think you’re getting it, man. Never mind.
Bro getting murdered in the comments. Hilarious. Anyway, She's so Heavy is considered the first Doom Metal song, a subgenre of heavy metal that didn't really become popular until the 80's. You got one thing right about the Beatles, they were highly influential and pioneered new sounds.
The record producer was George Martin, sometimes called the 5th Beatles, who was considered one of the world’s most famous producers, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1996 and won numerous Grammys and many awards in his career. He had been a music producer for classical records, for film, tv and live performances. His knowledge of music theory and composition was extensive, and he encouraged the Beatles to experiment with new techniques, and expand their range.
"What's it for?". It's music, you listen to it, let it soak into you, let it carry you somewhere else, let it trigger emotions, memories, ideas, etc. It takes a while to adjust and appreciate music from a different time but it's worth the time and attention. Many of the lyrics on this album, e.g. Come Together, are surreal or nonsensical to spark random associations, get the imagination working; others are poetic, for those that can appreciate it. If you're not familiar with 60's & 70's musical dreamscapes, check out some Pink Floyd.
At 5:30 the song from the batman is "Something in the way" by nirvana. Also i think you're just accustomed to hearing a lot of noise in songs, especially beats. Mostly because of brain rot and like instant gratification. Its not for everyone, but there is a reason they're considered one of the best bands of all time.
The most napalm-tastic 16 measures of the 20th century erupt from his headphones: "Ok, it's picking up a little bit". Back to daycare, pal: Barney has something to offer you.
Lost ten points for wearing headphones over your hoodie; subtleties of the music are lost, though I'm not sure you'd catch them anyway. This is music you're listening to, not just beats. Let the music wash over you and tickle it's way past your eardrums. Learn to feel it, even if you don't really like it. Then you can talk about it. Nice way to Rick Roll by the way. Is this whole thing just a joke?
Bruv. Sorry but you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Your opinion. OK. Do us a favour, keep it to yourself. Beatles fans,and there are millions of us, will not allow disrespect for the greatest band,and the 2 composers of the 20th century . 🏴
Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison meeting to play in a band together has been one of the greatest collaborations ever. Ringo was also great, but in terms of songwriting, the other guys truly grew up from their early songs in 1962 to their split in 1970
@@TeleNikon Your "measuring" sounds a lot like fanatical worship to me. I love the Beatles but c'mon.. If you were talking about A Day in the Life or Strawberry Fields I'd get it, but Sun King...
@ - There’s a beautiful unpredictability to Abbey Road, isn’t there? It’s an album that breathes, shifts, and surprises depending on the day, the company, or even the weather outside. Sun King, in particular, feels like a shimmering pause in the world-a golden lull, warm and drowsy, before the medley sweeps you off again. That faux-language moment at the end is such an act of pure joy, almost childlike in its whimsy, yet utterly disarming. It’s fascinating how it breaks down the high polish of the album’s production, like a wink from behind the curtain: “We’re just here having fun, mate.” And maybe that’s why it’s so endearing-it gently reminds us not to take genius too seriously. Every note of Abbey Road is monumental, yes, but it’s also deeply human, full of quirks and flashes of spontaneity that can feel transcendent in the right moment. It’s an album you fall in love with over and over, and Sun King-well, it’s the kind of song that knows how to wait for you.
@@TeleNikon That's very nice, but I think you're too much in love with the whole thing to have a distanced appreciation of what actually is there. And that seems to speak to their (and Martin's) genius of production and assemblage more than song composition per se. I listened to an old clip of Lennon on the radio commenting on each of Abbey Road's songs and he described Sun King as "half a song" where the band "got to pretend we were Fleetwood Mac" playing the same riff over and over.. they just decided to include these half songs in the medley instead of throwing them out. So for all intents and purposes the Sun King was indeed filler. But I know how you feel, Lennon was very dismissive of one of my favorite songs as well (And Your Bird Can Sing).
I love this album and I can understand someone not liking it at first, I understand your reaction, just make sure this is not the last time you hear this or other beatles albuns
None of this is “filler.” Each song and style conveys something in its style, or its lyrics or its instrumentation that they believed was important to share. Most Beatles fans rank this as one of their top 2 or 3 Beatles albums.
"Why does it cut off" That song was the last one on the A side of the vinyl. Idea being you flip it, expecting something similar and you get hit with Here Comes The Sun.
Come on now, don't insult Hip Hop like that. I get that it is your opinion but people can enjoy both, as I do. Seems you need to open your music taste just as much as the reactor.✌️
@@AviationCornerOfficial I used to listen exclusively to hip-hop because of peer influence. Three years ago I decided to broaden my horizon and begin listening to other genres. One of the best decisions I've ever made. Made me realize how much hip-hop is lacking in terms of lyrics and especially the production itself on mainstream albums. Yes, there are still great artists such as Danny Brown that create highly experimental and unique albums, but other genres got so much more to offer in my opinion
The best way to understand this album is that side 1 has a collection of individual songs but Side 2 is meant to be one extended piece of related musical sections (songs) like a symphony is. Each “song” introduces a different philosophical concept and different musical style and they lead from one to the next. They were labeled as songs because that is way the music media could understand it. We always listened to Side 2 as one piece of music, uninterrupted. Lyrics are symbolic about growing, changing , and often refer to themes about the stages of life or were like lines in poems.
There were four different lead singers on of the first five songs. First was John. Second was George. Third and fourth was Paul. Ringo (the drummer) sang lead vocal on Octopuses Garden.
I guess I'm older genz (98) and my parents and I are all classically trained musicians. we all have varied music tastes (I won't say "I listen to everything" but it's quite varied.) this album is a required listening along with dark side of the moon, zeppelin 4, Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore East, etc. we carry the torch.
You need to keep doing reactions to Beatles albums, I'm from generation Z too and I can tell you that they are the biggest band ever and don't take my word for it, just google which is the biggest band of all time, Abbey Road was their last album and they left a huge legacy with it.
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w So, this song is 27 years old - is that Gen Z music? lt's certainly catchy - that's why it was a worldwide hit, but there's no light and shade - it's all in one tempo with a simple chord structure. On top of that Rick Astley played no part in the writing or playing of this record. You may say that isn't important, but if you're just a cog in the production line of Stock Aitken Waterman you can hardly be expected to inject much artistry into the music.
@@billythedog-309 ua-cam.com/video/gJ1f6oKYqeQ/v-deo.htmlsi=8g4vVXe7-_-JwORY here’s a dude about my age (25) making some absolutely phenomenal progressive rock.

Of course, no other band will ever be as prolific and revolutionary as the Beatles but there’s absolutely artists carrying on the legacy and pushing the foundation that The Beatles set on albums like Abbey Road
@@aesthetic4829 l agree it's foolish to make sweeping generalisations about anything from a position of ignorance. l'm not the audience this is aimed at, so my opinion is worth little, but from my perspective this piece lacks melody, which is a big part of what l look for in a piece of music.
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w You Rick Roll'd us! OK, I've decided to believe that the entire video and everything was all just a set up for this brilliantly understated and unexpected Rick Roll. Good work!
One of my first album purchases back in 1969. I was in 8th grade. Epic! Love their hair! yes we didn't care what the lyrics were or what they meant. We just loved the music!
Mmmph. As a "producer", you should be educating yourself. Why is so much of it "hard-panned? You don't have a clue. This was the first time they were able to use 8-track recording; it must be difficult for you to understand how well-constructed this is with such limitations when you have unlimited tracks available today.
When Abbey Road first came out, people didn't like it because it was so different from anything else the Beatles or anyone else had ever done. But then people started to get it and appreciate it, and it became legendary.
To get more background on why each song on this album is considered classic or iconic, sometimes groundbreaking or revolutionary, you can look up background on each one. Example for I Want You/She’s So Heavy: “…begins in 6/8 time, with an arpeggio guitar theme in D minor, progressing through E7(♭9) and B♭7 before cadencing on an A augmented chord. In this chord sequence, the F note is a drone. The bass and lead guitar ascend and descend with a riff derived from the D minor scale. As the last chord fades, a verse begins in 4/4 time, based on the A and D blues scales, with Lennon singing "I want you / I want you so bad ..." The two blues verses alternate, before the reappearance of the E7(♭9) chord, and McCartney playing a notably aggressive bass riff. That functions as a transition to the main theme throughout the song. The main theme repeats with Lennon singing "She's so heavy", with a long sustain on the last word. The second set of verses are rendered instrumentally with lead guitar. Another repeat of the "She's So Heavy" theme (this time featuring harmonies) is followed by Lennon singing a livelier repeat of the "I Want You" verse. During the next E7(♭9) transition, Lennon screams "Yeah", until his voice breaks. The song's coda consists of a three-minute repetition of the "She's So Heavy" theme, with the arpeggios double tracked, intensifying with "white noise" fading in as the theme continues, which consists of multi-tracked guitars from Lennon and George Harrison, Moog white-noise from Lennon, and drums and bass from Ringo Starr and McCartney respectively. In the middle of the 15th repetition of the theme, the song abruptly ends.”
I'm Gen Z, born 2006. I've been a die-hard Beatles fan for as long as I can remember. Trust me, age isn't the issue, like Ztorm.369 said. It's the modern day music culture and the way that the youth consume music (not to mention the music they're listening to - practically beat-perfect in every way - the youth are finding it hard to appreciate songs that don't have top-of-the-class modern production techniques, unfortunately).
@@tobz_games yes I agree with completely, when I said he will Learn I meant the more he is exposed to Beatles music the more he will come to appreciate it
Dude, you should watch "Call Me Caroline" 's review of Abbey Road. She's about the same age as you, perhaps a year or two older, but unlike you, seems to enjoy music overall more than you. She doesn't ask, "What is music for?" Anyway, you would learn a lot from her. She notices little things like guitars, bass, voice, keyboards, melody, etc.
But they are two different people lmao, one is a artist, while one here is a “producer” you can’t tell me you just compared them because of their age, cmon dude, grow up, he enjoys music just as much as her, just not the same type of music. Lmao
@@rocknroll5941 No, I compared them because they are both youtube reactors reacting to the same music and one knows and understands music and the other apparently doesn't. Threrefore, he could learn a lot from her about listening to the song he's reacting to and reacting to the recordings on their own terms.
Abbey Road is one of the most iconic and creative albums of all time. Everybody can have their own opinions, but man, you threw it away with both hands...
The reason. I want you (She’s so Heavy) cuts off, is since it is the last song on the A side of the vinyl, Here Comes the Sun begins on the B side, so ye. Idk if someone already said this, but whatever :D
thanks for listening , 😎best part "Are These Guy Britsh" to understand you have to listen to the entire catalog is the Beatles, in fact they might get a Grammy this year . fingers crossed for Now and Then .

@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w Hey man! I would say music like the late beatles require more listening "experience" prior than most music usually requires. It doesn't mean that music that doesn't require musical experience beforehand is any worse for it, but truly timeless music has to be in some way challenging for the listener to stay timeless. But since that music is challenging you might not like it (or realize it's "greatness") on that first listen. But trust me, when you've learned to embrace the challenge of the music you're listening to by listening to more music of different genres and influences, it makes listening to music and truly engaging with it much more rewarding. (Doesn't only apply to The Beatles, ask the average person to listen to Yeezus and see how many people like it on the first listen...)
There's a reason why we remember The Beatles and not some random pop band from the same time as them. It's because they challenge the listener, not just give them what they want to hear.

As I love The Beatles, I don't really like this cult approach. You are innocent, arrogant, unapologetic, just as fresh youngster should be. Important part is you are open to explore and ONLY that matters.
If John, Paul, George and Ringo would be modest none of the magic would have happened.
@@bogna8877i respect your comment so much
You think what is happening here is that you are critiquing an iconic Beatles album… actually, what is happening is that people are looking at your reaction and wondering about your lack of music sensibility. The Beatles are not on trial here, you are.
Goddamn, just accept he has a different opinion than you. It was exactly the snobby mentality of "your lack of music sensibility" that the Beatles ignored to revolutionize
the music industry. And guess what, music has evolved well beyond what the beatles were capable of so, yes, it's okay to get bored of their album.
The Beatles are influencing people right now without even knowing it,that’s why they sound so timeless

@@bobangell1679how tf is he spsd to know
I had an heartache
100% of the music that came after the Beatles was influenced by the Beatles, They are legends and their music changed the world.
It's not The Beatles that are on trial here.
“Movement” is exactly what modern music lacks. You rarely hear a middle 8, key change, non diatonic chord or a time signature change in a modern chart song. Abbey Road is absolutely full of them. Whether you like it or not, it’s an album packed with masterful writing and creativity. Hopefully as your knowledge of music increases you’ll revisit it one day with a different perspective
I was thinking the same exact thing. He "thinks" there was no movement? I never thought I would hear someone say that about The Beatles' music. Just wow. Today''s music lacks a lot of things that music of the past had. It is the opposite of what he said.
Really ? The arrogance is off-putting and unearned.
The lost art of the middle eight is to be mourned.

The Monkees tv show, who became a real band, were based on The Beatles! They need to start pre-1964 and see where music was before the Beatles!
Funny enough, The Monkees were dope by the time they were taking psychedelics and making the Head movie and soundtrack. Even Frank Zappa was a fan of them.

“What’s that for?”
For listening to 4 amazing artists.

I hate my generation
this is the second so-called music producer I've come across doing reactions who has never listened to the Beatles.... God help us. He managed to listen to Come Together (book shop music) Something and I Want You and didn't notice the amazing bass for instance. After enduring this I realised he doesn't actually know how to listen to music. This was agonizing and every time he said something he revealed more of his inability to know what he is saying. He's said he will review more Beatles but I sure won't be watching.
I don’t want to criticize too harshly… he’s young, and we have all discovered new music at some point and didn’t understand it and wanted to voice our opinion. We’ve been in his shoes at much earlier points in time and not been able to embarrass ourselves to the world via the internet simply because these forms of media didn’t exist; otherwise we would have capitalized on them just like he’s doing. We were just fortunate enough not to speak our thoughts publicly or we would have sounded ignorant/arrogant too. But at least he’s trying. Let’s give him a shot to get it. I hated the dead for twenty years and now I “get it.” Beauty takes time
This was painful to watch. I made it to 'You Never Give Me Your Money' and had to bail.
Very painful...filler? He doesn't realize it's an album to be played in one sitting! His comments on the mix are horrible and are completely uninformed.
@@MookCahill I agree. At the same time he records himself and flaunts how much he doesn't understand or know, choosing to embarras himself. He could've just put on some music in his home and relaxed and tried to get to grips with the new music like all of have done.
Douche
So happy for you. Standing in the back of the bookstore and hearing one of the greatest songs ever written
the fact he didnt realise it was a medley 😔
I mean, it's his first time listening to it.
@@WatercraftGames right but like... dont skip the ends of songs!! it was just a little disappointing im not holding him to it.
To be fair it took me a while to realize that the 2nd part of the album was a medley, it's not exactly specified. My parents who have listened to the beatles but aren't like active listeners of them didn't know that either
Those are not filler songs. The songs on the second half of the album were made deliberately to fade into one another to be a medley so they are shorter. They are meant to be listened to without pausing. You should listen to some of their other very popular albums! Revolver is my personal favorite (very experimental sounds that I think you would enjoy as a producer) , but Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (considered to be one of the first concept albums) is probably their most iconic next to Abbey Road. Either of these albums would be a good next step for your Beatles journey!
SOME OF THE MEDLEY SONGS WERE UNFINISHED.
BUT STILL GENIUSES AT WORK!
FYI - "Heavy" was a slang term for serious. Serious in a good way. Think of it as she's so fly, she's so bad, she's so cool, she's so hot, she's so dope, she's so (insert slang term of whatever generation you are part of). It does NOT refer to her weight LMAO!
I’m watching this right now, and I’m gen Z and a bit younger than you, and I’m a really big fan of The Beatles, and no disrespect to you at all for your opinions, everyone has different tastes in music, I would recommend listening to some of their other albums as well. They’re a pretty big part of music history and have done some pretty interesting things with their songs!
After the Batman comment I had to leave
same
Time code ?
This was their last album and was their goodbye. It is the best curtain call of all time. The second side is intended to be a medley, an encore and a bow. They were not so much a product of their time as much as one of the main architects of the time. They trapeze effortlessly from genre to genre and even invented some along the way. Mostly, it was from a time when artists played their own instruments, sang without autotune, had imagination and didn't have to rely on a computer to pronounce a word.
Having said that, I appreciate your honesty and taking the time to listen to an album from 1969. When you've had a chance to delve into other music from that time and acclimatize to the mood of the time, you may 'get it'. The fact that you're even listening to it 55 years after it topped the charts must mean something. I often wonder whether anyone would bother with the music you prefer 55 years from now? Maybe. But I would feel comfortable positing that 'Abbey Road' will be.
Highly praised by critics and music connoisseurs for 45 years, but Gen-Z says: so-so...

@iPICKMUSIC-q1w I want you to. Listen to Srg Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band it's one of there best
I don't think I've ever felt more rage than when I saw him skip through the medley
The song called The End is the 3 guys on guitar each doing like a call and response to each other, similar to jazz musicians when they improvise.
And Ringo doing a drum solo.
This guys knows .01% about music 😂
All of the band members sang lead on different songs. Usually whoever wrote the song, sang the lead.
Re: the panning. This was still pretty early in the days of stereo mixing and a lot of albums from this time period hard panned everything...because they could I guess? lol. A lot of Beatles purists prefer the mono mixes of their albums. But as a musician myself, the stereo mix makes figuring out the parts so much easier!
The 'tempo' changes in I Want You (She's So heavy) aren't actually tempo changes, they are switching between regular time and half time.
The synth they used on this album (one of the first Moogs) was pretty much a brand new thing. There were a couple of albums out there that were only synth (Switched-On Bach for example) but people weren't really using them on pop albums yet.
They definitely smoked pot and experimented with LSD, but for the most part they avoided it in the studio.
An important thing to note was that this album was recorded on only 8 tracks. There was no copying and pasting like in today's DAW's. So in a lot of cases they recorded the whole band live on 5 or 6 tracks which left 2 or 3 for vocals and any overdubs. Prior to this album, they were recording their albums on only 4 tracks!
Think about that. As a producer, think of how limiting making a song on just 4 tracks would be.
This album was their swan song. The recording of their previous album had been a bit of disaster internally for the band with lots of arguments, people quitting the band and coming back etc. A couple of months after that experience I think they all sensed that the end was near and they decided that they wanted to do one last album like they used to and brought back their old producer (George martin) to keep them focused and in line.
Album suggestions: If you want to do another Beatles album, it would interesting to go back a bit to Sgt. Pepper's
Other bands albums: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of The Moon is often regarded as one of the best albums ever made.
Rolling Stones: The Beatles main 'competitor' of sorts. Sticky Fingers or Let It Bleed would be a good place to start.
Good stuff: Marvin Gaye - ‘What’s Going On’, The Beach Boys - ‘Pet Sounds’, Stevie Wonder - Innervisions, Bob Marley - Exodus, Radiohead - OK Computer, Miles Davis - Kind of Blue.
Alright. I'll stop lol. Good luck in your musical history adventure. I was about your age when I starting thinking about the music that came before what I was listening to in the now. If you are a music lover, it's an amazing never-ending trip. Enjoy it!
Yeah, on the 4-track machine, if you raised the levels on the drums, the bass came with it.
I’m a millennial, and this reminds me of all the times I tried introducing my peers to The Beatles, Syd Barrett, and lots of other 60’s and 70’s classics, just to have them react with total indifference at best. 😭 This comments section makes me feel heard. lol
Gen z are actively retarded
I feel that. I do like the underground modern stuff like mac demarco and tame impala great van fleet etc, but I feel like an outcast when I bring up band's from back then that they don't know and it's like the "hipster" stereotype where they go "you don't know this band from 1965? You have no taste..."
What was my point I forgot?
Main point: taste is subjective. Either you like the beatles or you don't.
There's no "filler" on this album. Side 1 was to please John who wanted a more straight forward rock n' roll sound, and side 2 was for Paul, which is why it's all connected with the exception of Here Comes The Sun.
Imagine not knowing about Something and not recognizing Kurt Cobain's voice on Something in the Way to the point of not being able to tell them apart. C'mon man, we're not talking deeply obscure music here, it's Beatles and Nirvana for Christ sake
Cosa c'entrano i Nirvana con Something?
I know there's people who don't know the difference because they haven't been exposed to music from other genres other than hip hop and pop. At least, that is what I have realized from the current generation, and I honestly can't blame them since the industry has pushed other genres like jazz, rock, funk, and others into the background or as elements of pop music. The times have been changing, but I just hope people never forget these classic musicians and songs that truly inspired others
I’m always struck by how these young reactors are so confused when a song has actual time changes and chord progressions.
I was 17 years old in 1988 when I discovered the Beatles--but even at that young age I understood what they were doing with their music and their genius was immediately apparent. I am absolutely shocked at how underwhelmed this young man was by this album in particular and the Beatles in general.
Looking back, it was like tasting sauerkraut. Not that I owe anyone an explanation, but their music to me is an acquired taste. Some songs I liked more than others, but some were just not it. And it has nothing to do with me being GenZ, I know a lot small minded individuals like to jump the band wagon and blame it on that. I absolutely enjoy music from the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. But at the time of this video, it was hard for me to see how these guys stood out musically but overtime Ive started to recognize their music more and more. Thanks for watching.

Since you claim to be a fan of music that existed before The Beatles, I’d like you to conduct a little experiment. Look up the Billboard charts for 1962 and 1963 and listen to a lot of the selections listed. Then do the same for music that came out after they arrived. See the difference? Their arrival and influence should never be underestimated. They changed the face of music.

Uffh, bro. this was a brutal watch. You REALLY need to expand your musical diet lmao. This feels like watching someone who’s only ever eaten McDonald’s have a meal that Gordon Ramsay personally made for them, and just they react with indifference and apathy lmao. I’m not a dork either, I don’t think there’s anything inherently better about “old” music when compared to new stuff, but lord, dude, Uffh. If you listen to Abbey Road and don’t immediately have a life-changing epiphany you might not be from this planet. No hate though you seem like a chill guy 🙏
If you listen to most songs on Abbey Road, they sound basic, besides I want You(She So Heavy) which is the only realy progressive song on the album, the album sounds like a standard 70s rock album. The medley is filled with unfinished tracks molded together be the band to make a musically connected side two, even Paul McCartney himself said the songs were filler, made from ild scraps of past songs from 65-68, watch the Get Back Serious, the songs were originally meant for the roof top concert, but were still unfinished at that point. Abbey Road is not their best album, its a great album, but I could see why people now a days wouldn’t bat an eye at it, times have changed, The Beatles are not number 1 no more, grow up with that fact
@@rocknroll5941The Beatles have the best discography in popular music. Who else would be number 1? Dylan,maybe?
@@paranoidplane9799 Your own opinion buddy. I would say Led Zeppelin has the best discography, but you clearly don’t agree, seeing as you said The Beatles
@@rocknroll5941 beatles have better discography mate.
@@rocknroll5941To start, what do you call basic? because abbey road is not basic at all. There are several tempo changes in his songs with Mixolydian, Doric and even Lorian modes. In fact, apart from I want you, here comes the sun and you never give me your money, it has a complex melodic structure. with atypical time signature changes in pop music. Basico is the first by Led Zeppelin or any Stones album. that repeat the pentatonic scale over and over again. That's basic
"I Want You, She's So Heavy"... cuts off like that because they just played until the tape ran out. They were pioneers in sound manipulation, studio tricks and pretty much wrote the book on all of the things you learn about producing and recording.
I Want You (She's So Heavy) was one of the experimental tracks on the album. That big build-up at the end was John Lennon's (rhythm guitar, vocals) idea. George Harrison's (lead guitar, backing vocals) Moog synthesizer they used on the album had the ability to generate a disturbing wave of white noise, and the point of that build-up was to create something rather Avant-garde or "experimental", the likes of which had never been heard on a mainstream record before. So they incorporated the white noise to give it that dramatic feel. It also closed side one of the album, right before the record stops and the listener had to flip it over to continue listening. It was a pretty clever way to end the first half, and speaks volumes about what the status quo was back in 1969. No one had done anything like it before, at least not on a commercial scale.
For the record, this band has sold over 600m records. More than anyone in history and they were only active between 1963-1970. 7 years!

Maxwell - best not to talk through lyrics.
Octopuses (octopi) do actually make gardens by arranging rocks and shells. It is a thing.
“Heavy” in context means intense. “Three minutes of music! Oh my god!” Short attention span, eh?
I don’t think you’re getting it, man. Never mind.
Bro getting murdered in the comments. Hilarious. Anyway, She's so Heavy is considered the first Doom Metal song, a subgenre of heavy metal that didn't really become popular until the 80's. You got one thing right about the Beatles, they were highly influential and pioneered new sounds.
The record producer was George Martin, sometimes called the 5th Beatles, who was considered one of the world’s most famous producers, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1996 and won numerous Grammys and many awards in his career. He had been a music producer for classical records, for film, tv and live performances. His knowledge of music theory and composition was extensive, and he encouraged the Beatles to experiment with new techniques, and expand their range.
"What's it for?". It's music, you listen to it, let it soak into you, let it carry you somewhere else, let it trigger emotions, memories, ideas, etc. It takes a while to adjust and appreciate music from a different time but it's worth the time and attention. Many of the lyrics on this album, e.g. Come Together, are surreal or nonsensical to spark random associations, get the imagination working; others are poetic, for those that can appreciate it.
If you're not familiar with 60's & 70's musical dreamscapes, check out some Pink Floyd.

Three great composers.
@MsAppassionata Agreed 😀 I was alluding to the fact that j and p were voted composers of the century as I had my mini rant. Happy listening.
Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison meeting to play in a band together has been one of the greatest collaborations ever. Ringo was also great, but in terms of songwriting, the other guys truly grew up from their early songs in 1962 to their split in 1970
I n case you're confused, this is the greatest band of all time,
Filler tracks? 39:53 Sun King? You're listening to the Sistine Chapel of popular 20th century music. Open your mind to the sublime genius before you.
Ok, calm down.. even the Beatles would tell you Sun King was filler.
@ A good portion of Beatles music was 'crap' according to John Lennon. Hardly the rubric by which I measure the Canon.
@@TeleNikon Your "measuring" sounds a lot like fanatical worship to me. I love the Beatles but c'mon.. If you were talking about A Day in the Life or Strawberry Fields I'd get it, but Sun King...
@ - There’s a beautiful unpredictability to Abbey Road, isn’t there? It’s an album that breathes, shifts, and surprises depending on the day, the company, or even the weather outside. Sun King, in particular, feels like a shimmering pause in the world-a golden lull, warm and drowsy, before the medley sweeps you off again. That faux-language moment at the end is such an act of pure joy, almost childlike in its whimsy, yet utterly disarming.
It’s fascinating how it breaks down the high polish of the album’s production, like a wink from behind the curtain: “We’re just here having fun, mate.” And maybe that’s why it’s so endearing-it gently reminds us not to take genius too seriously. Every note of Abbey Road is monumental, yes, but it’s also deeply human, full of quirks and flashes of spontaneity that can feel transcendent in the right moment. It’s an album you fall in love with over and over, and Sun King-well, it’s the kind of song that knows how to wait for you.
@@TeleNikon That's very nice, but I think you're too much in love with the whole thing to have a distanced appreciation of what actually is there. And that seems to speak to their (and Martin's) genius of production and assemblage more than song composition per se.
I listened to an old clip of Lennon on the radio commenting on each of Abbey Road's songs and he described Sun King as "half a song" where the band "got to pretend we were Fleetwood Mac" playing the same riff over and over.. they just decided to include these half songs in the medley instead of throwing them out. So for all intents and purposes the Sun King was indeed filler.
But I know how you feel, Lennon was very dismissive of one of my favorite songs as well (And Your Bird Can Sing).
I love this album and I can understand someone not liking it at first, I understand your reaction, just make sure this is not the last time you hear this or other beatles albuns
Your opinion doesn't count for a lot. This album changed musical history.
This album came out in 1969. The first Disney animation of The Little Mermaid came out 20 years later in 1989.
None of this is “filler.” Each song and style conveys something in its style, or its lyrics or its instrumentation that they believed was important to share. Most Beatles fans rank this as one of their top 2 or 3 Beatles albums.
"Why does it cut off"
That song was the last one on the A side of the vinyl. Idea being you flip it, expecting something similar and you get hit with Here Comes The Sun.

The Beatles have sold more records than anyone in history. Have some respect.
The best way to understand this album is that side 1 has a collection of individual songs but Side 2 is meant to be one extended piece of related musical sections (songs) like a symphony is. Each “song” introduces a different philosophical concept and different musical style and they lead from one to the next. They were labeled as songs because that is way the music media could understand it. We always listened to Side 2 as one piece of music, uninterrupted. Lyrics are symbolic about growing, changing , and often refer to themes about the stages of life or were like lines in poems.
The Beatles are the Walt Disney's of music. They are fabulous, the Fab Four as they once were called.
As an Gen-Z I love the beatles
IQ = 85 here
Bloody hell! 85 for gen z that's Einstein heights for them.😅
He is allowed his opinion. But who cares what he thinks.
There were four different lead singers on of the first five songs. First was John. Second was George. Third and fourth was Paul. Ringo (the drummer) sang lead vocal on Octopuses Garden.
I guess I'm older genz (98) and my parents and I are all classically trained musicians. we all have varied music tastes (I won't say "I listen to everything" but it's quite varied.) this album is a required listening along with dark side of the moon, zeppelin 4, Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore East, etc. we carry the torch.
My favorite Beatles album is Revolver.
You need to keep doing reactions to Beatles albums, I'm from generation Z too and I can tell you that they are the biggest band ever and don't take my word for it, just google which is the biggest band of all time, Abbey Road was their last album and they left a huge legacy with it.
Tell us all about the movement in Gen Z music.
Heres a great example :) ua-cam.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/v-deo.html&ab
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w So, this song is 27 years old - is that Gen Z music? lt's certainly catchy - that's why it was a worldwide hit, but there's no light and shade - it's all in one tempo with a simple chord structure. On top of that Rick Astley played no part in the writing or playing of this record. You may say that isn't important, but if you're just a cog in the production line of Stock Aitken Waterman you can hardly be expected to inject much artistry into the music.
@@billythedog-309 ua-cam.com/video/gJ1f6oKYqeQ/v-deo.htmlsi=8g4vVXe7-_-JwORY here’s a dude about my age (25) making some absolutely phenomenal progressive rock. I hate this narrative that new music isn’t as good or music sucks now. I absolutely love the Beatles but it’s just ignorant to sit back and say nobody makes music like this anymore. Of course, no other band will ever be as prolific and revolutionary as the Beatles but there’s absolutely artists carrying on the legacy and pushing the foundation that The Beatles set on albums like Abbey Road
@@aesthetic4829 l agree it's foolish to make sweeping generalisations about anything from a position of ignorance. l'm not the audience this is aimed at, so my opinion is worth little, but from my perspective this piece lacks melody, which is a big part of what l look for in a piece of music.
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w You Rick Roll'd us! OK, I've decided to believe that the entire video and everything was all just a set up for this brilliantly understated and unexpected Rick Roll. Good work!
One of my first album purchases back in 1969. I was in 8th grade. Epic! Love their hair! yes we didn't care what the lyrics were or what they meant. We just loved the music!
Sometimes things are meant to be simply listened to without thinking. Let it carry you where it will.
I'm not sure the Beatles are 4 you... A masterpiece, and the best band of all time unmatched in my opinion.
Mmmph. As a "producer", you should be educating yourself. Why is so much of it "hard-panned? You don't have a clue. This was the first time they were able to use 8-track recording; it must be difficult for you to understand how well-constructed this is with such limitations when you have unlimited tracks available today.
When Abbey Road first came out, people didn't like it because it was so different from anything else the Beatles or anyone else had ever done. But then people started to get it and appreciate it, and it became legendary.
To get more background on why each song on this album is considered classic or iconic, sometimes groundbreaking or revolutionary, you can look up background on each one.
Example for I Want You/She’s So Heavy:
“…begins in 6/8 time, with an arpeggio guitar theme in D minor, progressing through E7(♭9) and B♭7 before cadencing on an A augmented chord. In this chord sequence, the F note is a drone. The bass and lead guitar ascend and descend with a riff derived from the D minor scale. As the last chord fades, a verse begins in 4/4 time, based on the A and D blues scales, with Lennon singing "I want you / I want you so bad ..." The two blues verses alternate, before the reappearance of the E7(♭9) chord, and McCartney playing a notably aggressive bass riff. That functions as a transition to the main theme throughout the song. The main theme repeats with Lennon singing "She's so heavy", with a long sustain on the last word.
The second set of verses are rendered instrumentally with lead guitar. Another repeat of the "She's So Heavy" theme (this time featuring harmonies) is followed by Lennon singing a livelier repeat of the "I Want You" verse. During the next E7(♭9) transition, Lennon screams "Yeah", until his voice breaks. The song's coda consists of a three-minute repetition of the "She's So Heavy" theme, with the arpeggios double tracked, intensifying with "white noise" fading in as the theme continues, which consists of multi-tracked guitars from Lennon and George Harrison, Moog white-noise from Lennon, and drums and bass from Ringo Starr and McCartney respectively. In the middle of the 15th repetition of the theme, the song abruptly ends.”
It's not his fault he Young, but he will learn
i'm gen z too , and i'm a Beatles fan since 14 I think , it's not an age thing
I'm Gen Z, born 2006. I've been a die-hard Beatles fan for as long as I can remember. Trust me, age isn't the issue, like Ztorm.369 said. It's the modern day music culture and the way that the youth consume music (not to mention the music they're listening to - practically beat-perfect in every way - the youth are finding it hard to appreciate songs that don't have top-of-the-class modern production techniques, unfortunately).
@@tobz_games yes I agree with completely, when I said he will Learn I meant the more he is exposed to Beatles music the more he will come to appreciate it
Not this guy.
Heavy is a slang term back in the 60's. They don't mean that she is a fat girl. Heavy means intense or crazy shit.
The most classic response EVER to someone listening to the Beatles for the first time... 9:13
The 90s rockband nirvana made a song inspired by the song "something" which was used for the batman movie.
Dude, you should watch "Call Me Caroline" 's review of Abbey Road. She's about the same age as you, perhaps a year or two older, but unlike you, seems to enjoy music overall more than you. She doesn't ask, "What is music for?"
Anyway, you would learn a lot from her. She notices little things like guitars, bass, voice, keyboards, melody, etc.
But they are two different people lmao, one is a artist, while one here is a “producer” you can’t tell me you just compared them because of their age, cmon dude, grow up, he enjoys music just as much as her, just not the same type of music. Lmao
Lol😂
@@rocknroll5941 No, I compared them because they are both youtube reactors reacting to the same music and one knows and understands music and the other apparently doesn't. Threrefore, he could learn a lot from her about listening to the song he's reacting to and reacting to the recordings on their own terms.
Abbey Road is one of the most iconic and creative albums of all time. Everybody can have their own opinions, but man, you threw it away with both hands...
The reason. I want you (She’s so Heavy) cuts off, is since it is the last song on the A side of the vinyl, Here Comes the Sun begins on the B side, so ye.
Idk if someone already said this, but whatever :D
Wow this is some expert baiting ,You actually had me fooled.
Good work
finally! someone caught on
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w total crapmeister!
thanks for listening , 😎best part "Are These Guy Britsh" to understand you have to listen to the entire catalog is the Beatles, in fact they might get a Grammy this year . fingers crossed for Now and Then .
So fun fact: on the song The End, George Harrison, Paul Mccartneyz and John Lennon took turns playing a guitar solo.
The immediate cut in "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" was intentional because back then for physical records it is the and of the first side.
The song that intertwine starts with you never gives me your money, then it brings it back.
