I think everyone needs to listen to the whole White Album not to see if they like it, but to understand all the genres of music the Beatles can play. This shows the range of Paul’s voice. Paul was after a dirty metal sound, harsher than the Who.
ahh I see
You could have stopped at the first eleven words. They say it all.
Listen to the entire White Albua must.must.
I feel bad for all of the people who grew up after the era of the album.
The first metal song.
Yep. Same man who wrote "Yesterday" wrote this. Paul is a genius.
Most say heavy metal started with Black Sabbath, but this song by The Beatles was where it really started. This was Paul proving he can rock out when he has to. :)
❤
Ozzy Osbourne says he thinks “Helter Skelter” is the first heavy metal song. 🤘🏽
He did it years before in Songs like "Long tall Sally" (1964), "She's a woman" (1964) or "I'm down" (1965).
Watch out!, There's this dude, "dsfddsgh", who really disagrees with that! He's been hounding me about it. I guess I really hit a nerve saying exactly what you said, except I didn't mention "Black Sabbath".
I’ve always thought of this as the first punk song.
Your total inability to articulate what you felt about this song was, in fact, the most perfectly satisfyingly response possible. Nailed it. Love your channel!
imagine how the people in the 60s felt. specially older people. if "she loves you" or "help" was "too loud" or "too hard" or "that noise kids are into these days" to parents and grandparents, imagine their face when this came out.
when i'm super-surprised by something, i get stuck for words
Ringo's " I got blisters on my figers" while true is a classic line that never gets old.
For some reason I always thought that was George
It's John.
Don't know for sure, but I thought that sounded like John too.
@@rbmtn4879 it's Ringo
@@danallanson5990 It's 100% Ringo as any simple Internet search would tell you 😉 (no reason for Lennon to be shouting it anyway)
This is why the Beatles were so influential and highly regarded. They did Everything First and in many cases, Best. Still iconic after 50years
Yours is the reaction that everyone has first time hearing Helter Skelter.
❤
Imagine being a little kid and hearing this for the first time! 😂 there was no such thing as metal when this was released. I became an instant head banger at a tender age. 😅
You are right, the term "heavy metal" didn't exist, I KNOW because I was 21 years old in 1968 and listened to the radio a LOT, plus I worked in the record (vinyl) department at Higbee's Dept. Store during breaks and summer breaks when I was a student at Kent State.
Yeah, The Beatles may not have been the first heavy metal band but, they WERE the band to record the first heavy metal rock song. The Beatles were such an experimental group, it only figures they'd be the ones to accomplish this. Thanks for checking this out, it was so awesome!
This wasn't the first heavy metal song. Anything off of the 1st Jimi Hendrix Experience album is as hard as this and Blue Cheer's version of Summertime Blues is way heavier and is truly a heavy metal song.
@@dsfddsgh Here, I got a couple of quotes for you that I looked up on google, just for this purpose. #1.(in heavy black print) "Considered BY MANY to be the first heavy metal song in history" #2. Swiss industrial black metal band "Samael" covered the song on their 2017 album "Hegemony" with a music video in 2021 where they credit "Helter Skelter" as being the "first song ever recorded". So, as factual as your info. maybe be, what I had stated in my original comment has a firm foundation, according to google anyway. I know that what you said about "Blue Cheer" (named after a detergent, that's great) "Summertime Blues", does happen to be also stated as the first metal song but, maybe it was because they weren't that well known in the mainstream, I mean, both songs came out in the same year (1968) but, The Beatles had already been a band for at least 8 years at that point and were the biggest thing going at the time. Jimi Hendrix? Well, he pretty much just got his career started with the whole "The Jimi Hendrix Experiment", (YES I KNOW HE WAS WORKING BEFORE THEN) and once again The Beatles were already a well established band here in the states. The Beatles formed in 1960, well before these other 2 and they came through like a hurricane, you can't really say that the other 2 had that kind of impact. Sorry so long but, lots to say on the matter. I think, The Beatles got that recognition because of always being under a microscope, ya know what I mean, always keyed up to what's next by them. Anyway, yeah, I just put down what I find so, it's not that I'M WRONG, It's what's on the net., and everybody has their opinions however, again, this IS NOT MY OPINION, it's what I found on the internet.
@@seiraeiramasil2302 Why does it matter how well known or when the Beatles started as a band the question is what was the first metal song or artist not when Jimi Hendrix started his band or how well known Blue Cheer were.
I see there are uncult musical guys. This is the first metal song. Why? To make heavy metal u need at least 4 (not 3) musicians : a drum, a bass, a lead guitar and a rhythmic guitar. Even Hendricks Experience did similar things it cannot be heavy metal. Maybe hard rock, or psychedelic (the right choosen) but not heavy metal . If u wanna talk about music (30 years Dj and many bands) call me....
And the cherry on the cake : Black Sabbath was in 1968 the beginners of hard rock, not heavy. Find me in 1968 something similar as Healter Skelter.... With 4 musicians. Good luck :)
So the Beatles left you speechless? lol Welcome to our world Jayy! The generation of us who grew up with the Beatles have felt this way many times!
ABSOLUTELY!!!
This is probably the closest the Beatles ever got to heavy metal. I love how versatile they were. They tried so many styles but always made them their own.
They are fantastic
They actually got quite a lot of heavy songs.
The last 3 minutes of I Want You (She’s So Heavy) are essentially the blueprint for doom metal
It's amazing that he did this and "I Will" on the same album. Crazy talent.
"I got blisters on my fingers!" One of the great final lines in any song. "Helter Skelter" had a dark history after it was released due to it's association with the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders in 1969 in Los Angeles. Don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings but if you check, it's all there in the history files. But all in all, this song is waaaay cool and one of The Beatles most iconic tunes.
The Beatles music is surprisingly filled with death and violence, e.g. Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Happiness Is a Warm Gun, Revolation no.9(played backwards), Helter Skelter(backwards) and Its Getting Better are just a few. There are some strange connections with The Beatles! look up The Winged Beatle and look into their ties with Tavistock and The Church of The Final Judgment of The End Times(Manson was involved with them)
This is a dark and threatening-sounding song about a playground slide. "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is a bouncy, cheerful-sounding song about a serial killer.
@@Steve_Stowers You can see a picture of the Helter Skelter amusement park ride on line. Simply a light house shaped structure with a slide winding around it.
@@Steve_Stowers and the song can metaphorically describe the intense ride of chaos= "Helter Skelter"
@@knightscroftsquire-muldoonRun for your life*
When I saw Paul McCartney at Madison Square Garden in 2012 he did “Helter Skelter” and the place went nuts. You would think that a 70 year old man playing a song this heavy and aggressive would be ridiculous, but he was absolutely fantastic, and he gave it the level of energy that he did in 1968.
Same in Hamburg, Germany :)
There are many musicians in their 70s (including those that have passed aged 70+ - eg. Lemmy) who play metal in their 70s. For up to 2 1/2 hours A NIGHT.
US audiences get crazy over everything, so that's not saying much.
He still does it at 80 and sounds great!
Gotta love that "deer in the headlights" look you had at the end of this song. The Beatles were not afraid to try new sounds, like this early precursor to heavy metal. The White Album is filled with such experimentation, from the interstitial snippets of incomplete songs between the tracks to the head-scratching novelty of Revolution 9, which killer Charles Manson so infamously used to justify his Family's killing spree in 1969. (That one is most assuredly an acquired taste.)
Your reaction of being unable to put things into words is precisely how it was for many of us back in 1968. These guys literally did it all.
This just shows you how The Beatles progressed over the years and how versatile they were
Thank you my friend, a simple but most intelligent response with no labels or parroting others to conveniently categorize this song into a musical preference, versatile being the key word here or using "they say" as a qualifier...
Not to worry - you are making sense! This is the reaction we had when we heard it the first time. Can you imagine ... we were used to being surprised by yet another sound, but this was manic - Paul went crazy! Others will say (I agree) first heavy metal song, trying to outdo the Who, Charles Manaon used in his murderous spree etc. Fun fact - Helter Skelter is the name of an amusement park ride. Didn't you love Ringos shout out at the end? Now you need to hear Paul sing Oh Darling - another surprise. The Beatles were/are THE BAND!! God bless you.
the song that comes right after Helter Skelter on the White Album is the perfect follow up... a hauntingly soft and beautiful song called "Long Long Long" written by George Harrison
Yes, the Beatles were masters at contrasts.
No need to be embarrassed wondering how the same band that wrote “Let It Be” and “In My Life” wrote this as well. Along with the Stones and Bowie, the Beatles have one of the most diverse sounds of all time.
Never be surprised at anything from The Beatles but at the same time, be surprised at everything from The Beatles because you never know what's coming next!
Paul, at 80 years old, still does Helter Skelter on tour!
Imagine being that surprised almost evry time a new Beatles record came out! Side A of the single would be nice and familiar, then there was the flip side to blowvyour mind. And then the albums stsrted to be "myst listen after they stopped touring...
It’s amusing that you compare it to a roller coaster because “Helter Skelter” is the name of an amusement park ride in the UK. Paul can sing the sweetest love songs and he can scream with the best of em!! Please check out “Oh! Darling” from the Abbey Road album. Paul’s ripping vocals will make your hair stand up. Love your choices 🎄✌️🎁🎄I just listened to this again and I have to say your facial expressions are priceless 😂😂
Everyone used to say John Lennon was the rocker and Paul McCartney was the crooner, but nothing is further from the truth, because Paul proved many times that he can rock and John proved he could sing the most romantic music.
@@josephtingley654 100 % correct.....it was always RIDICULOUS putting each of them in one niche.....they could do it all
In an interview Paul said he heard The Who are putting out the nastiest heaviest song. Paul being competitive said he put this out to be the nastiest and heaviest song out there!
Ringo was justifiably pissed. They played this for so many takes, so hard, “I’ve got blisters on my fingers”. He walked out and went on vacation, and he wrote “Octopus Garden”. No joke . They are a fascinating genius songwriters with the deep background growing up during WWII and post war England. They were truly tough, affable, witty personalities.
Originally, Paul wrote Helter Skelter, a tall multi-level British amusement park slide, as a slower bluesy number. Retooling the song to the full throated screamer it became to counter punch The Who's recent single 'I Can See For Miles. You look beautiful JAYY. Merry Christmas, RNB
The White Album remastered has got the bluesy version. There's supposed to be a 26min version out there somewhere 🙂
@@robertmills8640
Oooh!
@@AlBarzUK Just what I'd heard. It's a 26min jam session. That where the "I've Got Blisters on My Fingers" comes from. Ringo was worn out by the hard drumming during it.
Forgot about that slide...plus it as you say, was in response to the Who, and people thinking the Beatles couldn't do this kind of music, according to a McCartney interview I saw...the hindsight Heavy Metal label is overplayed and parroting others as far as I'm concerned. there were so many other bands even form the 1960's that one could say contributed to the decades long morph wave into "Heavy Metal." Labels, labels, labels...yawn...always can depend on Rick N Backer for the facts without all the labels and parroting!
@@thomastimlin1724 Happy New Year Thomas🍻 My older brother who was around 15 in 1966 has always claimed that The Seeds were the 1st Heavy Metal band. Do you remember them? They had a couple big hits with Pushing To Hard and Can't Seem To Make You Mine. He drove my Mom nuts playing the Seeds over and over again. I thought they sounded pretty dreadful. But I was only 7 at the time. Take care my friend, Rick
Don't worry about saying the wrong thing - your honest reaction is appreciated!
it's Interesting you mentioned a rollercoaster - as the Helter Skelter is a traditional fairground ride in the UK (it's like sliding round the outside of a lighthouse on a tiny mat) - which is what the song coming back round again feels like.
This is from 1968, and the Beatles were trying out a lot of new stuff - there's 30 songs on their 'White album' - featuring pretty much every style of music you can think of. This would be the "heavy rock" one. Lots to explore on the album - Revolution #9 is a fun track!
Paul was playing guitar along with George, and that was John playing that outrageous bass part.
I always thought at the end with the words, " I got blisters on my fingers", was John saying it. As a Beatles fan, I only found out in the past 10 years that it was Ringo saying that.
It was a HUGE step towards what would soon become known as heavy metal.
This song was the gateway to Heavy Metal music. Known as the first heavy metal jam. Just goes to show how diverse their influence was and is to this day.
That's exactly what it was! A Helter Skelter is a big winding slide. It's an English thing
.
The most funniest thing is Ringo's shouting "I've got blisters on my fingers" haha❤❤
John Lennon said at the time that he writes songs for the young and Paul writes songs for your grandparents... so Paul writes this to show he can rock.... and this song maybe the first heavy metal song in history..
That is SO ridiculous, I was 16/17 years old when the Beatles arrived here in the U.S. and I certainly was NO GRANDMOTHER at that time, and I LOVED all of Paul's music, sweet, screamy, rocking, however his voice would sound on all of them. I AM a grandmother NOW, but back then during their popularity and time as a group, I was 16 through 23 years old when they broke up in 1970
This song to me is the epitome of rock music!! It hits you like a bullet. Never gets old.
I think your reaction is what my parents experienced in 1968 when they first heard it lol. McCartney still plays it 😮
The Beatles were everything.
Good to see someone reacting to this. Shows Paul's vocal versatility.
This song was supposedly Paul's answer to The Who, showing the Beatles could rock out too.
Welcome to 1968 and The Beatles White Album. Just one year after 1967 and its Sgt. Pepper & Magical Mystery Tour.
1966 had Revolver preceded by Rubber Soul in 1965. ??? Who knew in 1963/64 ???
The best Beatles music is the heavy Beatles music. I’ve felt this way since they came out. George Harrison was my favorite
I still find this song heavy in its own way even through this age of so many metal genres. And I listen to Meshuggah, Acacia Strain ,Lorna Shore besides Metallica ,Megadeth,Pantera. But Helter Skelter has this sort of pulsating,rolling heaviness that so layered. Amazing composition.
Ringo Starr yells “ I got blisters on my fingers” from playing the drums during this great song
Another reaction person put it this way about the Beatle'.s" Ever times I hear a new Beatles song , I feel like I'm hearing them for the fist time ".
The thing that makes the Beatles great is it everybody says they tried all these different genres of music but people forget nobody had done anything that they had done before they actually invented these different genres of music no other bands have ever done that
Pretty heavy for 1968. I got the White Album in 1972 and was blown away by Helter Skelter. The whole White album is so diverse and awesome.
On first listening to this song, it’s like being dive bombed by a squadron of Stuka’s 😮
Hey Jayy, that is a ver very astute and insightful reaction. Even though you didn't know what a " Helter Skelter " is you nailed the definition. It was common in the UK amusement parks to have a tower with a slide that snaked around the outside of it;s structure. Paul is the singer for sure. Ringo is the one who shrieks " I've Got Blisters on my FINGERS !!!! " because they had been playing and playing this song with such intensity that his hands were raw from drumming.
I got blisters on my fingers. I used to think that was John, cause he was always clowning. But, it was Ringo
Thank you for not stopping the song prematurely. What an ending!!!!
This was the birth of Heavy Metal!
Yeh the fade out and back gave you the feeling of going round the back of the slide then coming back to front on the way down. Look at a pic of a Helter skelter and you'll get it
The song WAS based on a Roller Coaster ride! This was when the Beatles were experimenting with new and unheard of Music Compilations (including "Primal Therapy").
But this isn't the Most Unusual song on the Album... That "Honor" clearly goes out to "Revolution Number 9".
Oh wow really
It’s not based on a roller coaster. A helter skelter in the uk is a tall lighthouse-shaped building with a chute running concentrically around the outside, from the top to the bottom. You experience great acceleration until you suddenly stop at the bottom. It’s exhilarating: Hence the line, “when I get to the bottom, I go back to the top!”.
@@jimimev You are absolutely correct! I have BEEN on one, when I was in England many years ago. There are photos of it on line.
@@THEJAYYSHOW As JIM MEV in the comment below me stated. Helter Skelter is not the name of a roller coaster. It is the name of an amusement park ride that JIM MEV describes in his comment. I rode one years ago when I was in England.
The original heavy metal!!! Yes the Beatles rules!!
British music press said The Who made the loudest heavy song track.
Paul said we have to outdo The Who.
Success.
Lucille, anther Paul screamer.
Definitely worth listening to.
Call youself speechless you wouldn't be the first or the last. And that says volumes in itself
No reason to feel foolish, your reactions are great. (plus, you are GORGEOUS).
This song was Beatles response to reading in a Rock Magazine that the band *The Who* had the Most Hardcore Rock Song Ever. No one couldn't think of what song was being label that, so they wrote *Helter Skelter* The rest is Iconic history, remember T-Shirt Slogan *"Charlie Can't Surf"* 😁
It is said that this song is the Birth of Heavy Metal. 😮
Your reaction is the same as many of us had hearing this for the first time when we first put the White Album on the turntable. It was and still is unforgettable.
Paul always laughs, when he knows the song will take people by surprise.
This was Paul's musical answer to Pete Townsend's (The Who) "I Can See For Miles" which Pete proclaimed was the 'heaviest song ever recorded".
In a way, this is the Beatles going back to their roots. It's like they were thinking about their cover of "Twist and Shout" from their very early days and saying, "That was cool and all... but what if we put our own spin on that sound?"
In The Beginning there was the word: and the word was- VERSATILE.
Paul's vocal is the sound of Little Richard throwing his gold rings of the Sydney Habour bridge.
The title track to Sergeant Pepper showed similar rock power and a thunderous aura. They did it very well!
I get exactly what you're saying, and it's one of the joys of the Beatles. There are those who will say that Helter Skelter is the first Heavy Metal song. Maybe who knows. But the core of that is that the Beatles were so amazing at any number of styles, that something like this could really shake someone. It's like you can't put them in a genre cause throughout their ten years (technically) of existence they didn't write to expectation. They wrote what they believed in. And they evolved and grew (each individual). The Beatles story is a exceptional one.
Ringo was saying-"I've got blisters on my fingers" as he was bashing the drums so hard.
Yes, the Beatles also did the hardest of hard rock. Before anyone else. Paul is among the most versatile of rock singers - loveliest of ballads to full throated screamers!
Have you also heard Paul's "MONKBERRY MOON DELIGHT"? Talk about a "full throated screamer" ! That's exactly what "Monkberry..." IS!!
@@patticrichton1135 yes, that's another excellent , crazy Paul song, from his excellent Ram album.
Yep back when he could sing
@@sarahfullerton6894 IT SURE IS, and I LOVE IT!!!....
@@patticrichton1135 same here! I love the versatility, the depth of sound, and the added counter-melody Paul sort of scat-sings in the middle-to-end of the song! Adds another beautiful layer to it!
Many say this is the first heavy metal song 🎵 Paul was inspired to write something strong....in England there's a huge slide called the helter skelter.
Javy is a cool, far out,happening. Chick I really dig her scene man, but this shows that Paul McCartney was the vocal god of the Beatles. George Harrison's on guitar really kicks butt. Nice reaction always. Love you! Peace!
Loved watching your reaction, and yes! You're exactly right - it WAS intended to sound like a wild descent, something like a roller coaster ride. A Helter Skelter is a British fairground ride - a tall, brightly painted conical tower with a slide spiralling all the way down the outside. You climb up the steps inside it to the top, get on your mat and slide down, getting faster and faster as you go. Teenagers and kids being what they are, there would often be some roughhousing and/or showing off to the girls involved. Like, if a girl was hesitant and clinging to the side, a boy might jump on his mat and push off fast so he'd deliberately crash into her... and so on... Then (as the song says) it's back up to the top and another wild descent in which hopefully you might see her again...
Anyway, Paul uses that as a metaphor (in my interpretation anyway) for a sexually frustrating relationship where the girl can't make up her mind if she's ready to 'go all the way'. That sort of dilemma was pretty common and a big deal in the 60s, with a lot of moral angst and fear of pregnancy etc, especially before reliable contraception in the form of The Pill arrived.
Basically, it's a loud and heavy song about a young man's raging hormones, that set the scene for the development of whole new genres of hard rock and heavy metal in the later 1960s and 70s.
Pretty much any band from that era, including the likes of Ozzy Osbourne from Black Sabbath, will acknowledge the Beatles as a foundational influence in their musical development. They were like a factory of ideas and inspiration in music and wider culture throughout the 1960s. 🙂
“Oh, Darling” is another great one w/ a more “intense” Paul but a bit more of an old school genre.
THAT was the very first heavy metal song.
This was the BIRTH of Heavey metal after a conversation in a break between Paul McCartney & Pete Townsend of the WHO when they were both recording at Abbey Road Studios,History being made!!
You never knew what to expect from the Beatles. They did everything it seems . Actually this song is about a roller coaster , a ride in a park believe it or not . That was Paul . Read about it here ,
In British English, a helter skelter is a fairground attraction consisting of a tall spiral slide winding round a tower, but the phrase can also mean chaos and disorder.[9] McCartney said that he was "using the symbol of a helter skelter as a ride from the top to the bottom; the rise and fall of the Roman Empire - and this was the fall, the demise."[5] He later said that the song was a response to critics who accused him of writ
Someone from the group the who said to paul he's gonna make the raunchiest, heavy song ever! Paul gave it some thought and came up with this ❤❤❤❤😊
One of the first heavy metal songs .The Who wrote a song and Paul said they needed to make one nastier and they did. That was Paul.
YEP it's PAUL, the man of MANY VOICES
Not just “The Fool on the Hill”😁
a great feel good video this Christmas time DIRTY LOOPS - ROCK YOU , with some great Michael Jackson style funk, enjoy, best wishes from the north east coast of England.
Helter Skelter says it all, a chaos in order!!!
He was trying to pass a kidney stone as he was singing. Bwahaha!
Paul set the standard with that heavy bass line.
Your lack of words speaks volumes.
You hit the nail on the head. Helter Skelter was a roller coaster ride in England.
This is cited by many as the worlds introduction to "heavy metal". Plus it has a lot of notoriety because of its connection to the whole Charles Manson thing. Its a great song, And once again,the world had never heard this kind of music. which is exactly what the Beatles were all about. Some of their stuff seems kind of tame by today's standards but back in the day, it was all fresh and new.
You were right about the roller coaster analogy, Helter Skelter is a spiral ride at an amusement park and the term also means turmoil and haphazard. McCartney read that The Who was about to release a real heavy and the hardest rocking song that anyone's ever heard, and Paul wanted to beat them to punch with this song. The Beatles cannot be placed in any specific genre of music, they do it all!
There’s a rubber ducky squeaking as one of the instruments in this heavy metal song, most people miss it. 🐤
Many of the songs on The Beatles White Album were done "in the style of" other popular groups. "Back In The USSR", for example, had a distinct Beach Boys sound to parts of it. "Helet Skelter" is their song in the style of Jimi Hendrix, especially the end where the song fades out and then fades back in...
Great reaction. What this song did to you is probably did what McCartney had intended. I believe he wanted people to be speechless to the point where they have to stop for a few minutes and think--what was that I just listened to? That was The Beatles? This song blew a lot of minds and changed peoples expectations about The Beatles.
Helter Skelter is a circular slide in England on the playground. When you get to the bottom to go back to the top of the slide then you stop and you turn and you go for a ride so you get to the bottom and you do it again
Just an FYI.yes, ot was Paul on vocals and "Helter Skelter" is an British term for chaos.....and Ringo did indeed have blisters! Lol
Yes Paul was the lead singer and writer of this first metal song ever. That's how creative the Beatles are. They heard the rumor that Who is gonna drop an intense song and when Paul knew it took a step forward and created Helter Skekter. The Who song not even get closer to this one.
Your facial expressions were priceless!!....LOL!!
I had Fun!
There's other songs where Paul cuts loose, one particular song comes to mind, "Why Don't We Do It In The Road", if you haven't checked it out, give it a shot.
The Manson thing shoved this gem into the closet for years. A great song from a great album. By the way the Beatles could do anything.
The Beatles will surprise you wherever you turn. They just didn't sit still.
At 5:30 at the end of the song you can hear John scream: I've got blister's on my fingers.
