- John Lennon & Paul McCartney tell the story of how George Harrison auditioned for the Quarrymen (the future Beatles) on the top of a bus. Illustrated by scenes from the new movie "Nowhere Boy"
"I was really happeee!" George is awesome :D
Yeah :) Im happy for him too.
George is amazing
You saw it too!
Even when he was saying that, he still seemed very happy about the memory
cute
George after becoming a Beatle.... "I was really happy" George....although we the rest of the world didn't know it yet..,.. we were really happy too.
+Appleholic1 :.D beautiful.
yeeeeah!
He was perfect for the Beatles and also wrote some of their best songs. The age difference was interesting - George ended up getting them kicked out of Hamburg for a while (but they came back...). Pete Best's drumming was too bland so they replaced him with Ringo, who was also a perfect hit. It was a real shame what happened to Stuart Sutcliffe but he didn't fit and he knew it (but played at least an indirect role in creating their look). Funny how things worked out the final version of the Beatles that emerged was the best that there ever could have been...in George Martin, they also had the best producer they ever could have had back then.
*Uh...LENNON IS ALL OVER 'TUBE EXPLAINING 'WHY WE GAVE PETE THE SACK'...so your bullshit of "No one knows" is nothing more than trolling for attention* ( If Best had been any good at all...why was he not in another band?) *LENNON...*We gave Pete the sack because WE WERE SICK OF HIM and his lousy playing! 4 inna' bar just wasn't enough and he never got any fookin' better"*
@Vlodec Everyone knows why.
1. He wasn't one of the guys. John, Paul and George were inseparable in those days. Pete liked to go off and do his own thing. He also refused the famous Beatle haircut (to be fair, his hair was curly unlike the others so it would never have stayed)
2. None of the others particularly liked him. Paul absolutely despised him and George had been pushing to get their mutual friend Richie into the band to replace him since he was a better drummer and they all liked him.
3. George Martin thought Pete Best was incompetent. He said that all Best could do was play fours (in fact, Best's poor drumming was known as the other Beatles, particularly John and Paul, would have to stomp their feet on stage to keep Best in time.
"I've been to bed, couldn't sleep." That comeback is pure gold.

Teen tops poptitos
Tawny Wilson That’s me whenever someone I know says “You should be in bed
heres a better one: reporter: ''John is Ringo the best drummer in the world?'' ''John Lennon: Hes not even the best drummer in the Beatles''. Now that's a comeback line.
False. Came from a comedian at least a year after John's death.
BlueFox94 That come back has been around since the 60s you numptie. Now your gonna tell Jon's been dead since the 60s, right? WRONG!!
George was a talented and quiet person. However, whenever he spoke, he said the right words.
'i was really happeeeey'
I saw George down in Coney Island in 1972, someone said 'you look like George Harrison '. His response was 'you're the second person to tell me that today '.
@@Bushface13
Thanks for sharing that. Did he get away with it?
Each of the Beatles has/had a unique sense of humor. George's seemed the most subtle.
@@YouzTube99 Yes , I was 9 or 10 years old. My brother said ' that really was the guy from the Beatles and he just walked away from everybody ' . I was clueless .
@@Bushface13 Very interesting! Glad to hear he was out and about.
It seemed like all of them wanted to live 'normal' lives but their residences had to be more secure than normal.
Sadly, both John and George were attacked by mentally ill people. If George's wife had not intervened, he would most certainly have been murdered as well.
I started crying when I saw him at the end, damn I miss this man 😞
Me too! (It calls empathy, I think)
@@arielverosto3245 And me. I was shaken to hear of his death, he had the greatest affect when growing up listening to this astonishing 4-piece band from Liverpool. It was always George because he was the lead guitarist, the quiet one..
And then came Something. Wow, wow, wow!
Same here, shame he didn’t tour on his own more
He’s been gone my whole lifetime, but man I miss him too 😢
Don't make me cryy
just Imagine how Bad life would suck if the beatles never existed
God, you're right there. It'd be the suckiest.
You know I had never really thought it out in my head before but holy shit man
Kosmic Kreator no....life would be the same. Vietnam would of still happened, 9/11 would of still happened and so would the Boston bombings. So no, it would of just been another band. The Beatles are musicians, not Gods.
Warpathimus
The Beatles inspired a lot of musicians, they were a VERY influential band. Dave Grohl, who was the drummer in Nirvana and is now the frontman of Foo Fighters, said without the Beatles he would have never started playing.
O L I V I A yeah but Grohl said same/similar re:Lemmy and Motorhead, KISS, Black Sab, Led Zep, Clash, AC/DC, Sex P's, etc. WARPATHIMUS is 100% correct in comment above. If it wasn't the Beatles it woulda been another band or artist who broke similar musical ground. Besides...how can one mourn something that they NEVER knew existed in the first place? As a thought experiment I've often thought what other band(s) may have risen if the Beatles never formed or made it past The Query Men PUB scene? Granted NOW those early songs are considered genius examples of song writing with their simple blend of Melody and Lyrics but THEN? Especially PRE A Hard Day's Night? The Beatles were just one of countless Liverpool working class bands playing bubble gum rock n roll trying to make it via the club scene with ZERO indication they would go on to write Sgt. Peppers and the White Album. The closest modern example I can think of is Guns N Roses... had someone seen GN'R live circa early 1985 in the LA club scene they would have witnessed a typical glam band of the time that exhibited zero indication of later writing the songs: November Rain, Estranged, Coma and Civil War. Who knows....in some alternate universe GN'R wasn't signed to Geffen Records but ANOTHER struggling band of the time was instead who later went on to pen classic songs we will NEVER know existed. In the Sandman Comic Books by Neil Gaiman Morpheus has a whole DREAM LIBRARY of UNWRITTEN WORKS by the likes of Shakespeare, Poe AND more AMAZINGLY average individuals of equal talent that NEVER had an opportunity to flourish and therefore in never once put pen to paper in reality. That got me thinking how many "Stairway to Heaven's and Bohemian Rhapsody's" of potential EQUAL *Metal **Majesty are sittin partially written at the bottom of some once talented guitar players sock drawer or dusty guitar case in a garage that were never completed because there ALREADY EXISTED similar songs written by *LED and **Queen....
(with me?😉).
Paul: He should be in the group
John: He should be in bed
hahahhaha
Paul.. then: He should be in the group
John..then: He should be in bed
Me.. now: He should not smoke
R.I.P George

GH > John
@James Williams Yeah, and there's a much higher chance you will get cancer if you continue doing that bud.
James Williams except george got lung cancer which isnt as easily attainable without smoking
I've actually heard from many people that George was regarded as the best musician out of the four Beatles, and I believe it.
+Sara Brown I love George Harrison's workd and I think his talents were very understated but as far as being a multi instrumentalist McCartney had the edge over Harrison *AND* Lennon. Besides the guitar from what I know John played the harmonica and a little bit of piano while George tended to focus on stringed instruments, even undertaking learning the Sitar which he played on multiple Beatles songs.
+Yamagashi Being an good musician is more than just playing instruments well. It's also about knowing the theory behind what you are playing and knowing how each note interacts with each other. It's all that theory jazz that would take you a long time to learn
Stephen Brown being a good musician doesn't mean knowing theory, the most tone deaf unmusical person in the world could take an in depth lesson on baroque harmony and perfect it and would that in turn make them a "good musician?" In that ideology, neither of the 4 Beatles were good musicians because they couldn't read a note of music at all yet they were composing all these complex harmonies and chord progressions with clever modulations. Being a good musician means having a musical ear and being able to play your instrument well in my opinion and these 4 did that perfectly.
I agree, having a natural ear for music is by far the most important thing. You can be successful as a musician just from your ear, you can be successful from learning to read sheet music and studying the theory but in the end the person with the ear for it is better because they'll be able to do things that are unthinkable and seemingly impossible to the person that sticks to the rules and theory, yet the Beatles broke many musical rules and now they are unmatchable
Adam L McCartney by far was the best musician in the group. Piano, guitar, drums, even trumpet. He can play anything. I do believe George was a better guitarist.
You made us all happy George.
👍🏻 nice words
I was about to write the comment, then I saw you did it already....👍
There will never be another Beatles. 3 great song writers, 4 great singers, very good musicians, work ethic, drive, looks, charm all around and timing.
lol ringo wrote some good songs too
Why does everyone hate on Ringo
@@ywaser4551 Ringo was a great complimentary player to the rest of the band. Not flashy, known for his fills and unique style. Comments from other members like "Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in the band" don't help his public image but I don't think that anybody hates Ringo. The Beatles wouldn't be the Beatles without him.
@@plusfour1 That's true, he was a great addition to the band, that's why Pete best was kicked out for Ringo.
3.5 members in total
It's insane how someone had the incredible foresight to film their encounter on the back of the bus all those years ago. They looked so young.
Oh, really ?????
Haha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha
Underrated comment alert!
Good thing someone had their cellphone ready
Wow. I'm so surprised that nobody actually replied to you saying "no! This is a reconstruction. It's not actually the Beatles at that time!"
Because sometimes I feel that is what the world has come to, in a nutshell.
@@j.watson1644 Dont be mean, lol
Who else just got so happy and genuinely happy when you seen George's pure smile and honest face. So great.
George Harrison is the most underrated guitar player of all time... He's a genius
Gerry De la Cerda Villanueva along with Brian May.
Bruh nobody in the beatles is underrated
He's not underrated. He is consistently ranked as one of the greatest guitar players of all time.
@@webbess1 lol he is not!
Underrated by who?
You have no idea about how you made millions of people happy with your music George... We're happy and grateful...My sweet lord 🙏❤️
George says he was really happy to be accepted into The Beatles...but he, John, Paul and Ringo made hundreds and hundreds of millions of people, all over the world, even happier.....yeah, yeah, yeah....YEAH !!! :-)
But I saw girls was crying 😋
I think it's closer to billions now, considering their huge 2 billion single sales just in usa.
I'm pretty sure none of us experienced the level of happiness George got out of life
@@arnavsaharan8222 They were crying because they were happy, girls do things like that
"I was really happy!! :D" George is amazing
Those 4 young men on a bus captivated & changed the world. Thank you lads.
George is my favorite. He was just a gentle soul. He left us way too soon. May him and John rock together in heaven.
Georges son was attending college at Brown University in Providence Rhode Island.
I stopped into a small coffee shop there to get a coffee and looked to the corner George
was sitting there with a couple other people. I wanted to go over to his table and shake
his hand and thank him for all the great music.I didnt I respected his privacy.
On the way out our eyes locked I nodded and returned with a smile.
It's a shame how he suffered so much at the end of his life. Also being attacked by that
madman at his home could not have helped his health. I loved George he was always my
favorite. RIP Mr.Harrison!
Oh man, this made me smile as big as George… and then I felt sad that’s he gone. All things must pass, but we’re sure glad you stopped by for as long as you did, George. Almost 20 years and we still miss you. Probably will until we’re gone.
Guitar George knows all the chords!
He’s got a daytime job. He’s doing alright.
Saving it up for Friday night
@Hugh Jones It ain't what they call rock 'n' roll
Then the man steps right up to the microphone
Mind, he’s strictly rhythm.
"I was really happy". You can notice his happiness remembering that day. Great!!!!!!!!!!
I wasn't ready for George's cutest apparition at the end ❤️ He was one of the sweetest human
I love how Paul’s like “yeah George was a year and half younger than me, that’s quite a big age difference for that time” when he himself was almost two years younger than John
Especially since George was actually only 8 months younger than Paul 😂
Some people are just bad at math. I guess☹️
George was only eight months younger than Paul. Paul must have been a little stoned here.
I want to cry now.
Yes I know what you mean. I really miss young George and I'm 72 - we all grew up together as did the music; so watching him play a very basic thing to get into the biggest band in the world is quite moving evoking all the memories of how it all started.
I'm 14... George Harrison is one of my greatest inspirations. His work is wonderful and he has a great personality.
Oh yes George was a cool guy alright - great friends with Monty Pythons Eric Idle and Michael Palin. Do you play guitar? I always get envious of people who started when they were young. So if you are interested start now.
jack freeman man my parents can afford me a guitar. It sucks. I have a great passion for music and I wish I can just go to my basement and play instead of just sitting in my room
Get a job if you want a guitar and they won't buy you one. Music becomes an all consuming passion and a way of life nothing must stand in its way. But believe you me the sooner you start the better - my deepest regret is not learning at 11 years old when I had the opportunity.
The way he says "I was really happy" is legendary
Nowhere boy....really good movie
Where can I see it?
Profesor Xavier USA Netflix
Billy Shears Netflix
What is the title of this movie?
Nowhere Boy is the name
Love Georges humble reaction of joining the biggest band ever: "I was really happy!"
Still and always will be the best band of all time.
Amen, Bro!
“He should be in bed” is the most John answer ever
It's good to see George smiling.
Yes, indeed!!!
The only thing that actor was missing was Lennon's voice and nose.
Yeah. He looked almost just like Lennon at that age.
Navid Nahiyaan I think the actor looks very similar to John except for his eyes. John's were brown, not blue.
*Ya’ll not even gonna mention the fact that the kids who played Paul and George don’t even look similar to the original boys lmao*
Oh no not even the same hairstyles
Kenzo Mattheo Funtanares Exactly👏
" *He should be in bed* "
- JOHN LENNON
Hahahhaa
They both are sleeping now ~!
jim graham oof
@@jimgraham4355 do you have to be such a downer
@@jimgraham4355 un comentario muy desafortunado.
A good bit of editing there, bringing in those two sources of media to tell the one story. Well done.
I kept repeating the ending 😍
Me too, George is adorable.
Me too
This is so cool! Many of the people younger than I am just don’t get how new and different the Beatles were! It was like a revolution and they fired the first shots of the British Invasion!
I was really happy!! He was so adorable and down to earth 💚
God I miss George Harrison. Never met the man, and I was only just born a few months before he passed but I can't help but a feel a connection to him.
I recently read a T Petty biography...he speaks so highly of George who supported Tom through some stuff. Great human being.
George came from a very close, loving family. Maybe that's what made him the person he was.
I LOOOOOVE that little boyish face " I was really HAAAPY!" what great stories . Someone should do a movie like Star Wars a trilogy (quadilogy) of all these moments , just for the benefit of future generations , because I think this was the BEST the 20th century had to offer the world and right aftre WWII .. That was a sign "It all be cool ..."
Happy that the 4 were who they were. Superb chemistry. John and Paul as main lead singers. Of course. George May have had the biggest hit of all of them with his. My Sweet Lord.
I love George, he was such a good man.
A beautiful human being
It's great to see how the Beatles became. I just seem not to get enough of those guys!!!
What is the song harryson played?
Wow, George Harrison, what a beautiful soul he really was an amazing guitarist, and a great friend of Paul and John and Ringo👍🏼🎸💖😁
I started crying the second George popped up on screen saying "I was really happy...."
It was cute how happy george was recalling the memory! We miss you georgie!
I loved the piece at the end of George saying "I was really happy!"
“I was really happy” melted my heartttttttt😭💗💗💗💗💗💗awww
Most underrated musician and guitarist of his time….RIP
"I was really happy!" How sweet and simple!! That's why They're called classics!
George Harrison had 1 great friend in Paul McCartney. That a blessing.
Aww George we miss you. "I was really happy" how cute😭
George: plays d chord
John: ur in
They're actors hahah
And in like 1960 It should be a big deal i think, bc the only option was playing by ear.
It wasn't just any D chord. It was an open D chord...huge!
@Ulysses Mendonça You must be great at parties.
@Ulysses Mendonça A joke? Oh, so you are great at parties...
No matter how many times I see this it always makes me smile !!!
If I were stranded on an island and I could bring the complete catalogue of only one band it be the Beatles. Zero hesitation
This 4 lads are the greatest musician of all time. They create history, they are the history themselves
You know all the musicians of all time?
"Perfect , You're in" Thanks God for these words❤
I always remember what George said in the anthology about taking on Ringo as drummer. He said that history would prove Ringo to be the right person, after all how can you top being the most successful group of all time? Ringo was the last number to confirm the jackpot.
Frank Sinatra was once asked if he liked The Beatles and any song in particular. His response was something along the lines of this: "I love the Lennon and McCartney song 'Something.' I think it's one of the best love songs ever written." Of course, Frank meant that George Harrison wrote one of the best love songs ever written, but his mistake was understandable, given the publicity given to the Lennon-McCartney team at the time. But since Frank personally knew all of the great songwriters of his era from the American songbook, and was an expert in that style of music, Frank's thumbs-up to "Something" means a lot.
Dijo la canción de amor más bonita sin llevar escrita la palabra amor.
I think he actually said it was the greatest (or one of the greatest) love songs "of the past 50 years."
“I was really happy 😁”
Stop being adorable now!!
George was, is, and will always be my favorite Beatle.
George Harrison will always be known as one of the greatest guitarists of all time
Hey man!! what is the movie called??please reply..
@@delivering_in_rain "nowhere boy"
The video of him playing w Carl Perkins and a number of other musical superstars is incredible
George Harrison admitted he was not the best guitar player and pointed his finger at a number of guitarist he thought were great. In one interview he mentioned Alvin Lee of 10 years after ! The other "Carl Perkins"
From the top of of bus in the late '50s to top of the charts in 1970. What growth! Remarkable.
He was never underrated by me. And, he is a genius.
He was never underrated by ANYONE. Like "literally" the term underrated is one of the most overused and incorrectly used words in the English language.
The chances of these guys all coming together and then what they managed to accomplish...
Unbelievable!
George is so great. RIP
He plays raunchy and never misses a note!
My strings are vibrating all over the place!
When you've young, the world is your oyster. Life changing events happen when you're young. George's changes would top any of the wildest dream bands had at that time. RIP George. You forever changed my life.
Ringo actually was a drummer for Rory Storm And The Hurricanes before becoming a Beatle, I believe he was actually well known in that local scene.
George Harrison...without a doubt the most underrated Beatle...
GEORGE IS SO PURE
i miss him :’’)
John and Paul recognized talent at a young age. Love when Paul in that Brit accent said “you show him” watched this clip many times.
George's smile at the end omg
Funny how you see George at the end saying "I was really happy." For a long time you rarely saw George being really happy when he spoke of the Beatles.
The way George said *I was really happy* just made my day
What a beautiful smile at the end. RIP George and John
George passed the audition! 👍🎸
That bus driver told that story 10 years later and his buddies were like, yeah, right.
"I was really happy" he was too good for this world man omg 💖
Never again will so much come together at one point in time!
George at the end, " I was really happy..."
The Beatles were assembled by God to fill the world with some of the most brilliant and poignant music that touched peoples lives in a profound way. The world will never know a more fabulous foursome for music history.
God had nothing to do with it.
Such an underrated solo artist too
It's a short movie clip flashback, but the words from John, Paul & George show the real love that always remained.
"you're IN"
ironic that george was the last beatle i found out about and hes my favorite out of all of them
Google "irony"
"You say it's your birthday!?" YES, this is July 18th. I was 11 on Feb. 9, 1964 when the Fab Four entered our lives via the Ed Sullivan Show. My "home" was very abusive, but the uplifting Beatles tunes emanating from the radio (I, actually, had a crystal set) saved my heart & soul. THANK YOU JOHN, PAUL, GEORGE & RINGO!!
Backbeat may have taken some artistic license with early Beatles history but no movie about those early days does a better job of touching on the emotional connection between John Lennon and Paul McCartney .
It comes across as real and heartfelt.
Great film.
Geo. Harrison , one of my favorite human beings
"I was really happeee!"....... tears on my smiling face... :'))
"You're in" one of the best decisions John Lennon ever made 🙌🏻
Stories for days!! Love every one of them..

It is funny how Paul always saw George as being "a year and a half younger..." George was about 8 months younger than Paul and just one grade level below Paul in school.

Decades later the charm remains. It will forever now.
How little things can change the world a "you should be in the group" a little guitar/base riff and a "you're in" in the back of an empty bus late in the night changed the music history. How simple is that?
George Harrison é um gênio!!!
What is the song harryson played?
George was my fave Beatle, While My Guitar Gently Weeps is an underated masterpiece.
Is not an underated song! Eric Clapton and Prince love it
@@elliaselliyasa3885 Literally, WMGGW is rated very appropriately. My personal opinion is that 'Think for Yourself' is his most underrated song. The dude was my age ( 21 ) when he wrote it which is young as! Yet the song has a timeless spiritual significance.
"Underrated" yeah, sure, so's "Here Comes The Sun"
The Beatles needed all 4 to be different. They just clicked, perfectly.
I like it when George is happy.
