Didn't the story go that they couldn't decide on the best way to end it so as they were sitting around listening to the playback John just reached over, grabbed a pair of scissors and randomly, physically cut the tape...
It’s absolutely bonkers to go from “Love Me Do” to this in such a relatively short time. Almost makes no sense. I cannot for the life of me find another band that has done that.
Eh, that's debatable. this album came out in late 1969. Bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, etc were already around by then and producing much heavier more groundbreaking music. The earlier Beatles albums from the mid 60s are absolutely revolutionary though. Revolver is one of the first true psychedelic albums ever.
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath Yep exactly, not the first heavy song, but they really took that influence and ran with it. It didn't create metal, but certainly influenced the doom subgenre. Very well done for a band that rarely got that loud. My favorite thing about it is how it mixes the nascent metal heaviness with their trademark version of psychedelia creating in my opinion their most accurate sonic recreation of an intense psychedelic experience since Tomorrow Never Knows
Floyd, too, was putting out very "different/experimental" stuff by then. ELP, The Doors, even early YES and Bowie, I believe. Thing is 1967-1973, say, was just, like, this Never Since or Again miraculous bursting forth of creative rock/pop musical brilliance. @@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath
The Bass Line is killer, and the Vocals too - Billy Preston mixing in that special spice, Ringo so smooth and on point. The boys were dangerous. HEAVY!!
It’s great to have somebody who knows the intricacies of music reacting to these classic songs. Love your channel, I click immediately when I see a new video
Abbey Road is so good and this is one of many masterpieces! The Beatles just got better and better until the end. Awesome reaction amigos, so glad you are enjoying this classic album.
You telling me.😊. Every month or so they came up with more amazing stuff,so sad in 69 or 70.when breakup was final .I was only 17,and figured it was end of an era 😢
Billy Preston on the keyboards… All the Beatles acknowledged that he brought out something more in them and that they were on best behaviour when he was with them… Great stuff!!
The bossa nova style of music is typically associated with the feeling of longing. This song is the epitome of longing! "I want you so bad, it's driving me mad!", hammered again and again, then the slow, plodding outro which I've always imagined as the musical depiction of being marched forward to follow this woman without any ability to control the situation, until the abrupt end, which could mean her capture or his demise.
For me, that brings The Doors to mind, obviously because of the "Light My Fire", but in general too this, to me, is Beatles' take on contemporary influences with The Doors and bit of Hendrix as well, the guitar in unison with the vocal lines. "Sun King" would be another with themselves acknowledging the influence from "Albatros", the Fleetwood Mac piece.
And the roof concert Jan 69, their final public performance, Paul was 26 and George was 25 yrs old. They were teenagers when they began that 7 yr musical odyssey. They recorded Abbey Road that spring and summer-then split.
I appreciate you guys becoming more confident to interject during the song. You all know your stuff. And, this is a criminally underrated song. It literally invented stoner metal by accident. Excellent work as usual.
I've said it b4. John Lennon never gets the props he deserves as a Rock Singer. As for the tone , certainly conjure s up a mysterious vibe to it. So psychedelic, only heard on FM radio late at night back in the day.
The Beatles, defied all limits, defied all boundaries and defied every attempt to place them in a box musically. The guy that wrote Yesterday, wrote Helter Skelter and the guy that wrote If I fell wrote Yer Blues and lastly the guy that wrote here Comes the Sun wrote It's All Too Much. We were and still are lucky to have had The Beatles write the soundtrack of our lives.
Now imagine it’s 1969 and your 14 and your parents gave a stereo system and your older sister gave you headphones and now you listen to this for the first time. It was so devastating that in a couple years they’d breakup 😮
It happened to Brian Wilson but with rubber soul. He spent one month or something like that, in his beach house, high as the moon, playing that record over and over again. He was upset and sad because his father wanted him to keep on writing catchy and easy teenage pop hits. Rubber soul have him the boost to develope pet sounds and stop composing teenage music to go after something more elaborated and mature. When Brian delivered Pet sounds the Beatles answered with revolver and Sargent pepper's.
There cannot be a more important band than the Beatles, ever again. It wasn't just about the music. It was about their unique combination of personalities, musical gifts and about the cultural moment they emerged in.
The opening guitar line of Here Comes the Sun following directly after this is one of the greatest rock album moments in history. This is also one of their most unique artistic statements. They nail the atmosphere. The overheated, somewhat intimidating passion is tangible.
In the old days,when I Want You ended you had to get up and flip the record over and then came Here Comes the Sun. The CD doesn't stop but goes directly from one song to the next-changing the dynamics.
This is difficult to say because the Beatles have sooooo many masterpieces.... This is my favorite Beatles song. The time changes. The harmonies. The vocals. The music goes from jazz to rock to folk to psychedelic. Its F'in amazing!!!!
This song, an amazing song just gets you ready for a second side that is unlike anything you have ever heard. in your life. Just get ready for an experience.
Indeed....building & building the white noise, the hypnotic closing melody slamming to a close is BRILLIANT. End of Side 1. John Lennon and Paul McCartney had the greatest & purest rock and roll voices in all of music history. Buckle up, young men, for Side 2....!!! BEATLES FOREVER 😃
Ringo’s playing is so smooth with Paul’s bass That little jazzy guitar solo It’s just crazy how these guys came up with all this great music The stars align in a big way over Liverpool. 🤘
Yep Ringo had an extremely light touch on the snare that he purposefully tuned very tight as his genius signature approach. He didn't kill his part but played with a subtlety and total control of the groove.
@CaptinQueue. Great, drummer observation. The smooth way he plays his ride, but leaves open space on his snare. It’s crazy after decades of playing the drums the more I actually listen to Ringo the more I get how great he was.
@@billc.5861 Other drummers of the time, such as John Bonham and Keith Moon, established wild power drumming as a rock drum norm and that drove those bands so well. But it was like Ringo was purposefully sparse and that supported the band's unique sound blend -- songs like Something and Get Back that show his light hand. IMHO the Beatles unsung instrumental heroes were Ringo and Paul McCartney, just brilliant.
@CaptianQueue. That’s basically correct. As a young teenager I started playing the drums in the early 70’s in the swing style then of course thanks to Zep, Bad Co, and a long list of others I became a caveman lol. Fast forward to recently and I met & ask drummer Jeff Campitelli if I could work with him when he’s available. Jeff said listen to Ringo , Steve Gadd , Billy Cobb Ringo was just Genius
The thing you have to recognize about the Beatles is that they didn't look at their popularity and fame in the sense of, well this sold really well so we have to keep on putting out this kind of record. They looked at it as giving them the freedom to do anything they wanted. That's why they were so creative.
If you want to continue your exploration of John’s “rock voice”, I suggest that you listen to his solo track, “Cold Turkey” released in 1969 and credited to the “Plastic Ono Band”. The song is the first one in his career where John took sole songwriting credit and addresses his and Yoko’s recovery from their heroin addiction and features John on vocals and guitar, Eric Clapton on guitar, Ringo on drums, and longtime friend and collaborator Klaus Voorman on bass. It’s been a favorite of mine since it came out.
The "rock voice" was there from the beginning. "Twist and Shout" sounded like a bomb going off way back in 1963. And the middle section of "This Boy" was an absolute revelation - one of the great vocal/harmony performances of the early Beatles.
Thanks for letting me see you respond to the Beatles. I'm 72 and have loved the Beatles since I was 10 years old. It only gets better. Seeing that it works for other generations makes me feel like it's real for all who listen to music and love the experience. To this day the Beatles blow my mind!
The repetition on the 2nd half of Hey Jude is the bursting bright brilliance of the Beatles hippie vibe. The repetition of the 2nd half of THIS song is the deliberately dark depths of the Beatles heavy, hard vibe. They own the extreme endpoints, and everything in between.
This track is what would The Beatles sounded like if they added Billy Preston to the group. I do hope you guys reacted to John Lennon's first true solo album "Plastic Ono Band". That album has Ringo and Billy (with Klaus Voorman) in it.
Awesome. I was waiting for you guys to hear this one. One of my favorite Beatles tracks. As you said, this album is a masterpiece. You should do side two all the way through to get the full effect.
This album is a totally different when you listen to it on headphones. There is so much going on in these songs, songs going back and forth in your head. Amazing
Hey guys am SO digging your reaction to this. It is absolutely one of the most iconic records of all time. PLEASE once you get through Here Comes The Sun and Because on side 2 you HAVE TO play the rest of side 2 in it's entirety-it's a suite of connected songs and one the most amazing things you will ever hear...
The amazing Producer George Martin was often referred to as the 5th Beatle. Whatever you want to call him, he played a very important role in getting the sound just right. Elegant even.
Yes, George Martin was already the 5th Beatle, as he not only produced but added piano, keyboards, and orchestration to their songs from the very first album. Billy Preston would have been the "6th" Beatle, not the fifth. And he wasn't the first outsider to record with them - Eric Clapton, possibly others. Billy definitely added a lot to the one or two albums.
Abbey Road...A masterpiece and a huge chapter of my youth. Know it all by heart. I think listening to the entire album all the way through is a must!! :)
Again, it's an absolute PLEASURE watching you two gentlemen hear another legendary rock music track for the first time. God bless you both and cheers to future rock music discoveries...
You're the first person I've heard describe their 'hard rock' as elegant. A light bulb went off over my head - "Yeah. I never thought of it like that before". Thanks for the breakdown. You guys are great.
13:11 OMG!! ❤ OMG!! John Lennon 😭😭 I missed seeing the Beatles but did get to see McCartney w/Wings, RFK Stadium on July 4th, don't remember what year. I recall not being all that enthusiastic cuz I'm not a big Wings fan -- brothers, they did Beatles ALL NITE!! TEARS OF JOY -- this album, in particular!! After Lennon died I had given up hope seeing REAL Beatles but Paul brought it!! When he sang "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" I lost it! -- puddles of joyous tears hit my feet!!! "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make" ❤
You guys have the best reactions..you pick up on every little great note!✌️💞(Ringo's softly cooking back there) loved it!! Lol. Would you consider reacting to John Lennon's...Mind Games...official video?
if you like billy preston you will want to hear the loud version from the abbey road super deluxe edition it is from the studio sessions the police tell them to keep it down🎉
@@jennaaaronw Close. Glynn Johns tells them that there's been a noise complaint from one joysucker and they do one more loud version. John Lennon is disappointingly polite😂
This song ends side one, flip it over and you get "Here Comes the Sun". Easily one of the best albums of all time.
Can't wait until they hear that drum solo on the 2nd side.
Hard to pick, but possibly my fav Beatles album.
Yep that sequencing … just incredible
4 sure!
Speaking of Sun, the Beatles rip off I Want You (She's So Heavy) from House Of the Rising Sun by The Animals.
Tom Petty said it all " there's the Beatles and there's evertbody else ."
Facts! Tom Petty is cool AF
The bass is insane on this song.
It’s either him or Jack Bruce as best bassist of the 60 s for me
@@johngriffiths118 That's an extremely close race for me. Love listening to both.
My man😎😎
Definitely!
Paul McCartney and his very much a living bass .
Bro put it so well - “when the Beatles do hard rock there’s an elegance to it” 👌👌👌perfect
So perfectly put!
There was The Beatles and then there was everyone else. Hard rock with elegance-great comment. 🔥🔥
Absolutely. As a solo artist/songwriter it's Bob Dylan.
The Who are my first choice.
@@324cmacThey are immense , but dont forget the Kinks
"Heaviest song ever. Metal before metal." - Wolfgang Van Halen
Well he would know😎
I totally agree.❤
Well, makes me headbang so, yeah.
Wrong Wolfgang, I think Mozart said that! 😁🧐
I would add Helter Skelter as an ore-date of Metal.
The ending puts you in a trance, then abruptly snaps you out of it!!
that's exactly how I feel.
Didn't the story go that they couldn't decide on the best way to end it so as they were sitting around listening to the playback John just reached over, grabbed a pair of scissors and randomly, physically cut the tape...
Lennon told an engineer where to cut it.@@papercup2517
And then the needle went straight to the middle and started clicking.
Only seven years separate the music on this album from their first album, and their musical growth/progression is something amazing!
Insane. They got in their "10,000 hours by 1964, and then *really* applied themselves.
It’s absolutely bonkers to go from “Love Me Do” to this in such a relatively short time. Almost makes no sense. I cannot for the life of me find another band that has done that.
It still boggles my mind. They kicked the door in and everyone followed.
I heard someone say once, "they went from being NKOTB to being Radiohead in 6 years"
Basically, it went from a 50s pop band to a doom metal prog rock outfit
Just outstanding 👏
You have to remember, when this came out, nobody had heard anything like this. Truly groundbreaking
You could say that about ALL their albums, really. Rubber Soul. Revolver. Sgt. Peppers(!) Just wow...
Eh, that's debatable. this album came out in late 1969. Bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, etc were already around by then and producing much heavier more groundbreaking music. The earlier Beatles albums from the mid 60s are absolutely revolutionary though. Revolver is one of the first true psychedelic albums ever.

On their last albums, I never know who is playing what. Often the four of them were not together in the sessions.
Heavy as Everest is Tall! 🎸
@@chrisjamieson3452 everyone is mostly playing "his" instrument tho, not like on the White Album..more band feeling
Yeah, Billy almost was a 5th Beatle.
Peter Framptons Les Paul standard 👍 The Beatles Enough Said 🪴
“Their hard rock is elegant” you guys just nailed it!
For example, note the elegance of Helter Skelter.
@@Mal1234567 And the extreme elegance of "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?"
Yes! It’s never a mess.
The greatest band of all time
Oh no, they didn't loop that ending, they played that entire piece with real instruments.
"Ringo just softly cooking back there". Yep. Despite what people like to say, Ringo was ALWAYS softly cooking back there.
And he never missed a beat
@@flipflopmcgurt3403 Ever
That was the gig. Play understated, but appropriate drums.
I envy you guys being able to hear these Beatles songs for the first time. This is the band that didn't just change music, they changed the world.
Indeed. The Beatles and Elvis changed the marketing focus, and Vietnam war the macroeconomy.
Don’t see why, they sound just as amazing to my ears as they did the first time I heard them.
That ending could have easily gone on another 10 minutes and I would have been perfectly fine with it.
It’s great to have somebody who knows the intricacies of music reacting to these classic songs. Love your channel, I click immediately when I see a new video
Me too. These cats quickly moved to the top of my list.
Absolutely!
Me too, these cats listen!
Agree, these guys are my favorite reaction channel.
Well said.
This is the definition of HEAVY,It perfectly tells the story of someone who wants that Lady so much it's killing Him
John's ode to heroin
Didn't know that... thanks. The song makes more since now. @@patrickcampion7966
Or someone else. And I’m not referring to Yoko.
Pauls bass. ❤
Abbey Road is so good and this is one of many masterpieces! The Beatles just got better and better until the end. Awesome reaction amigos, so glad you are enjoying this classic album.
Can you imagine hearing this for the 1st time at the time it came out? No one had ever heard anything like this before ….. awesome
I saved up my pocket money and my birthday money to buy this album back in 1969!! Still have it too!😂😂
You telling me.😊. Every month or so they came up with more amazing stuff,so sad in 69 or 70.when breakup was final .I was only 17,and figured it was end of an era 😢
One of the greatest song run outs of all time. It was John’s idea to cut it suddenly.
Billy Preston on the keyboards… All the Beatles acknowledged that he brought out something more in them and that they were on best behaviour when he was with them… Great stuff!!
The bossa nova style of music is typically associated with the feeling of longing. This song is the epitome of longing!

Yes! Always felt the end was the madness taking over.
For me, that brings The Doors to mind, obviously because of the "Light My Fire", but in general too this, to me, is Beatles' take on contemporary influences with The Doors
and bit of Hendrix as well, the guitar in unison with the vocal lines. "Sun King" would be another with themselves acknowledging the influence from "Albatros", the Fleetwood Mac piece.
These guys were incredible! Their creativity is unmatched. Almost everything they did was a first. GOAT!
The 2nd best band of all time (whoever!) is light years behind!
Now try wrapping your head around the fact that their entire catalog of music happened in a little over 7 years…7 years!!
And the roof concert Jan 69, their final public performance, Paul was 26 and George was 25 yrs old. They were teenagers when they began that 7 yr musical odyssey. They recorded Abbey Road that spring and summer-then split.
Truly mind blowing.
Like Ringo once said, "John's got a lot of soul."
I appreciate you guys becoming more confident to interject during the song. You all know your stuff. And, this is a criminally underrated song. It literally invented stoner metal by accident. Excellent work as usual.
First time?
It gets even better around the 50th time you hear it.
Trust me. 😉😊
So true!
The hundredth time too😎
Yes The Beatles never grow old to my ears. The pleasure doesn’t decrease and still takes me by surprise at times.
The earth is over a billion years old. And I was blessed to be born when the Beatles played. I got to witness them every step of the way.
4 billion, so quite a bit luckier.
I've said it b4. John Lennon never gets the props he deserves as a Rock Singer. As for the tone , certainly conjure s up a mysterious vibe to it. So psychedelic, only heard on FM radio late at night back in the day.
This is heavy metal before there WAS heavy metal. Just a brilliant song and arrangement all the way around.
The Beatles, defied all limits, defied all boundaries and defied every attempt to place them in a box musically. The guy that wrote Yesterday, wrote Helter Skelter and the guy that wrote If I fell wrote Yer Blues and lastly the guy that wrote here Comes the Sun wrote It's All Too Much. We were and still are lucky to have had The Beatles write the soundtrack of our lives.
John's rock voice really comes out on "Hey Bulldog", a lesser known Beatles track.
In sudamericano his hit
Definitely their best album and one of the greatest albums in rock history. I always say it: They are the most important band of all time.
They even invented the idea of a band being important
Now imagine it’s 1969 and your 14 and your parents gave a stereo system and your older sister gave you headphones and now you listen to this for the first time. It was so devastating that in a couple years they’d breakup 😮
It happened to Brian Wilson but with rubber soul. He spent one month or something like that, in his beach house, high as the moon, playing that record over and over again. He was upset and sad because his father wanted him to keep on writing catchy and easy teenage pop hits.
Rubber soul have him the boost to develope pet sounds and stop composing teenage music to go after something more elaborated and mature.
When Brian delivered Pet sounds the Beatles answered with revolver and Sargent pepper's.
Couple years? It was like a month later
They broke up a couple days later actually believe it or not. John left the band first. That was the day The Beatles ended
There cannot be a more important band than the Beatles, ever again. It wasn't just about the music. It was about their unique combination of personalities, musical gifts and about the cultural moment they emerged in.
So good! Any direction at all great song great dynamics. Also showcases how stylish a drummer Ringo is. Always the right accent at the right time
Ringo Starr & Charlie Watts are forever underrated, both are in my Top 10, they were on some of the greatest songs ever!
Elegant was the right word. Very nice. Wait 'til you hear side 2, it's going to rock your world!
It is hard to believe that this song is over 50 years old! This is a new level for the time. All the contributions by every one makes this special
One of their ALL time best, so dark, so jazzy...John dialed this one in! John plays all the leads too...THIS is why they are THE BEST ever..
The opening guitar line of Here Comes the Sun following directly after this is one of the greatest rock album moments in history.
This is also one of their most unique artistic statements. They nail the atmosphere. The overheated, somewhat intimidating passion is tangible.

And then they split up.
It's my favorite Beatles album... Better than Sgt Peppers, yeah I said it.
You need to listen to this entire album as one entity from beginning to end. Then you'll sit there for a while wondering what you've just experienced.
When you do the Beatles Medley you have to listen to it all because they are all unfinished songs that run into each other, and what a beauty it is
The repetition on the 2nd half of Hey Jude is the bursting bright brilliance of the Beatles hippie vibe. The repetition of the 2nd half of THIS song is the deliberately dark depths of the Beatles heavy, hard vibe. They own the extreme endpoints, and everything in between.

One of Beatles best 3 albums
Great songs..and the famous B side.. ...but this was the one that got to my bones forever. My favorite on the album .

I recall not being all that enthusiastic cuz I'm not a big Wings fan -- brothers, they did Beatles ALL NITE!! TEARS OF JOY -- this album, in particular!! After Lennon died I had given up hope seeing REAL Beatles but Paul brought it!! When he sang "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" I lost it! -- puddles of joyous tears hit my feet!!!
"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make" ❤
Perfect fusion of jazz, soul, funk, blues and doom
... and dooom... 🙏
One of the best bass lines of all time. But, really, the whole song is musical genius.
It's hard to believe that this great composition came out more than 50 years ago. It seems like yesterday.
This was the final track they ever recorded together in the same studio they began in. Late Aug 1969.
This song is perfection . Everything about it is so groovy . John’s vocals creates such a vibe
Fantastic reaction. You two are the best blend of knowledge and artistry.
The greatest of all time.
I genuinely enjoy you both doing Beatles reviews you guys kill it every time

Thank you for your review, DSC
This is why the Beatles are the greatest of all time Bros. 😎 When I was 10 this came out and was my first album... it changed my life.
You guys have the best reactions..you pick up on every little great note!✌️💞(Ringo's softly cooking back there) loved it!! Lol. Would you consider reacting to John Lennon's...Mind Games...official video?
We will check it out
if you like billy preston you will want to hear the loud version from the abbey road super deluxe edition it is from the studio sessions the police tell them to keep it down🎉
@@jennaaaronw Close. Glynn Johns tells them that there's been a noise complaint from one joysucker and they do one more loud version. John Lennon is disappointingly polite😂
The Beatles are Gods gift to mankind!✌🏻
