- The Beatles performing “Revolution.”
“When you talk about destruction, don’t you know that you can count me out"
“I did the slow version and I wanted it out as a single: as a statement of The Beatles’ position on Vietnam and The Beatles’ position on revolution. For years, on The Beatles’ tours, Brian Epstein had stopped us from saying anything about Vietnam or the war.” - John Lennon.
“Plugging directly into the Abbey Road desk and pushing the needles into the red achieved the fuzz-guitar sound. According to George Martin “We got into distortion on that, which we had a lot of complaints from the technical people about. But that was the idea: it was John’s song and the idea was to push it right to the limit. Well, we went to the limit and beyond.”
“Revolution" was directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, and filmed on the 4th September 1968 at Twickenham Film Studios.
“Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right”

literally, this guitar never gets old
Oh, hey, your stuff is great too. Good stuff all around.
Guitar sounds like Muddy Waters is playing it, Powerful song though.
It’s my favorite part🥰
Thats true Man
Wow this is an amazing comment by an amazing artist
That opening riff is pure ecstasy
That’s the power of fuzz!!
Yes
And Paul McCartney shouting: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FabianC585 kinda sounds like the opening to Jhonny B. Goode!
It’s just one note
The intro of this song is my actual alarm, i really recommend it
Lol. Same here!
@@Retrograde.Amnesiac
I recommend the intro of ELP´s Fanfare For The Common Man. Attention guaranteed.
Same lmao
I can see why
@Grimsby Reapers it ends on "we all want to change the world"
I am 83 years old I just love this rendition of the song
Rock and roll

Listen to
Do Unto Others’ by Pee Wee Crayton.
That's where it came from
Así es,aquí en Chile, 2025
Do you remember when it first came out?
Lennon’s opening guitar riff into McCartneys scream is perfect
I was just thinking about that riff and it dawned on me that I think I've heard a similar riff or effect in the music of Chuck Berry. And now I'm wondering if I can figure out what Chuck Berry song we would be talking about.
I just went and did a quick listen to the openings of "Johnny B. Goode" and "Roll Over Beethoven" - there isn't as much distortion on Berry's guitar - but the opening chords on those songs are still a very similar call to attention. I suspect John is lifting a chord from a Chuck Berry song and then distorting the hell out of it to create an even more powerful effect.
Daniel Bartholomew berry was Lennon’s idol so I could see that
@@user-em4wh5ji3w - I found something about Chuck Berry's style of playing employing single notes with double stops - and I'm not exactly sure if that is what Lennon is doing at the beginning of Revolution - but it has to be at least something similar:

Daniel Bartholomew cool find! Thanks for sharing. The influence from Berry is very clear on Lennon!

Yes I agree love the Beatles alot of awesome songs
That intro from Lennon and the scream from Paul is so beautifully done!
This one is live vocals over studio backing track
O se hace bien o no se hace
George - “John’s mic is sh*t,” then he half smiles - cracks me up every time.
That mic goes to revolution 🎶🎤alright!
Yessaaaa
XD I didn't notice George saying that to Paul until I read this comment, then decided to keep my eyes on George, and when I knew he said that, then half-smiled, I was laughing xD
Everyone says that but I don't think it's what he's saying.

His mic just makes it better, if it was that bad they wouldn't be vibing to their own music
I think it might've sounded different in-studio until they touched up on it.

You don’t even see George’s face in this section. Poor George.
True, McCartney would later state in interviews that during the recording of the so called "White Album", irreconsiliable differences were becoming clear.
They were not singing there. This was a promo video for the song being lip-synched.
Lennon,expressing conflictual feelings about revolutionary zeal ( 68 etc...) , others maybe going 'aye right John'' already gap growing ,brilliant song'/lyric not to be taken lightly
Our beloved, George Harrison, would have turned 78 today. 02/25/43 Liverpool, Lancashire, England
The Beatles revolutionized Pop/Rock Music.
And they could not have done it without you mate. We miss you..
My personal view is that George was somewhat limited with the songwriting. Probably by Paul & John. Then, in 1970, he releases a triple studio album, "All Things Must Pass". When's the last time an artist released a triple studio album? George obviously had many songs written while with The Beatles...
@@thomasvarady1210 I agree however besides All Things Must Pass his best work like Here Comes the Sun and Guitar Gently Weeps was released under John and Paul's approval. The boys knew quality and audience reception when they saw it.
Matt Mercers Stunt Double Yeah, I just think George had so much more to offer The Beatles, but didn’t really have the “license” to do so for a lack of better explanation...
Im lucky enough to share a birthday with him ❤️
@@ciarafarrellart Better George than Bono.. And Young MC.. Meh..
My favorite version of Revolution, with the cool guitar sounds.
Do you know if this version is on Spotify?
@@meldixon2421it is
That opening riff is just mind blowing
@thegaminglord5809wheres the original?
@@xeyDB10Not sure. Really just a generic rock opener.
@thegaminglord5809So what's your point?
Do unto others. Pee wee Crayton 1956
@@gza1976able It takes some deep knowledge to come up with that. Lennon's opening riff is almost identical to that of Pee Wee Crayton. At the same time, I expect that Lennon also knew it. I would guess that he used it as tribute, as they say. Musicians take riffs from one another all the time. I must say that it works perfectly in this Beatles song.

From Love Me Do to Revolution in six years time, unreal how they progressed and reinvented themselves so effortlessly and organically. They are the greatest band of all-time!!
It still blows my mind how much they changed in such a short time
i just cant believe the Beatles were only around like 8 years and they changed music as a whole like 3 times
Yep. LSD will do that
Change your whole perception
@@dirkevans3443 They were already progressing before LSD.

O course,easy to understand...
XDXDXDXDXD
To go from I Want to Hold Your Hand to *this* in four years is mind-blowing. Dare I say, revolutionary even.
Actually I Want Hold Your Hand is far more complex musically and was one of Johns favorites. Both great in different ways.
Yeah this is definitely a bit more primitive than IWTHYH in terms of the chord structure, but it actually has a lot of similarities with it too. IWTHYH is actually pretty heavy for 1963, if they played it through these speakers with these guitars, it would sound just as heavy as Revolution. I think that’s why John liked it so much, it was just a good old fashioned rock and roll number, which is also what he was going for here, I think John intentionally was trying to get back to his roots with the 50s blues-tinged rock n’ roll he loved so much, and he definitely succeeded. I honestly like this performance more than the album versions.
Side note and fun fact about IWTHYH, John had said that if the Beatles ever reunited, that’s the one song he for sure wanted to play. It shows that as much as the Beatles’ music changed, John never lost touch with his inner rock n’ roller. Songs like Revolution prove that!
@@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820 "Hand" was a stunning release in late 1963, nothing before had ever sounded like it because of John's rhythm guitar sound. It just blew everything off the radio. I was a kid then and had already been playing guitar a year or so listening to The Beach Boys etc so I really could recognize this was WAY different than anything ever. And brilliant to begin the song with the music from the the bridge ("I can't hide" section).
I think they were virtuoso back in the day, after playing so hard in Germany. But their *image* back then looks kind of juvenile, at least to 2022 eyes. The music stayed great AND they started being themselves
The evolution of the electric guitar tone from 1964-1968 was amazing. Fuzzed out distorted riffs with sustain had been recorded prior to 1964, but confined within the 'underground music' (Pat Hare, John Lee Hooker, Hubert Sumlin etc) of its day. By 1968, the sound was taking over popular music.
George always was a master of tasteful slide. Lovely to hear those wonderful harmonies again, and the playful outro is kinda just right.
After watching Beatles documentary "Get Back" ..I didn't realize how hilariously funny Lennon was, how close John and Paul were, they loved each other. McCartney deserves all his praise. Such a creative genius band.
So funny, bc I said exactly the same thing! I figured him to be merely a pompous tool, but he was such a comedic presence. Made me laugh out loud on a few occasions especially the “get a job cop“ bit.
A true powerhouse, long live the Beatles
Perfectly said
Because Peter Jackson showed the more happy side of the session..What of show the whole 60 hours footage. You will see all the tension and swearing.
@@elchichosantana6410 so, your point? everyone fights, swears, etc. They're the biggest band on the fcking planet, working everyday for hours...who the hell wouldn't argue, swear, fight, like family, brothers, etc...

The Beatles were not only really diverse, they excelled in all the styles they tried(and invented)
This is why they're the best band that ever was
Over 50 years after this song was released and I can't believe how relevant the lyrics still are.
Let’s not compare the times. These are rotten dangerous days with the worse yet to come. Don’t forget back then College age and up had a small worry, a little card in the mailbox. Today?? A breeze.
If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain't gonna make with anyone anyhow.
...yep, still relevant. Still pertinent. We truly are in the worst timeline.
Sad that John Lennon died by gun violence. Rip brother!
The fuzz guitars and stucatto chop offs. Never heard better. Incredible arrangement. Eternal wellspring of creativity. Hard to have a favourite Beatle song. Probably this would be a good start
They’re no relevant, sorry.
I'm quarantined with Beatles music. This is cool.
Kind of funny how the Beatles and others were advocating peaceful change while less than 10 years earlier, the blockbuster film Spartacus (which portrayed a violent revolt somewhat positively) was released by Hollywood.

That comment is gold :D
Their music maturity in only 6 years was astounding. Their fans grew with them. As the Beatles changed the fans grew older and changed.
Perfect analysis. I was 13 in '63 and 19 in '69. Huge changes in those 6 years. I had all their albums....
0:11 you can clearly see george say "johns mic is shit" lmao
I'm so glad you pointed that out lmao
.
Glad you pointed that out. I would have missed it. Love Johns lead at the beginning.
Is that why Paul does the scream at the beginning?
I think it's "John's monitor is shit" (monitor speaker at their feet used to hear the rest of the band).
If you are curious, in 1:43, you can see that the camera is in an angle that the mic of George and Paul is in Ringo's mouth and seems like his singing.
Underrated
I had a stroke tryina read your comment
Cristóbal Álvarez if you still having a stroke, he meant that ringo looks like he's singing on paul's mic
I've watched this many many times and never noticed this! Good one!
What
It's been 38 years since you left us, John, but your music surely lives on. Love you always.
Just reading that it has been 38 years shocked me. I remember gathering with my band mates at our bass players home to mourn what had happened.
Eu ainda lembro desse dia
Who are you talking to?
THE BEATLES will remain the best and greatest band of all time, yesterday, today, and tomorrow and because they are here, there, and everywhere. 💯💯💯💯
John REALLY nailed it with “Revolution.” Even now, in 2020, it STILL sounds fresh and contemporary!
And Relevant
@@mr.blue7357 Maybe even more relevant today, esp in America. Help us in Nov-everyone put out positive election mojo, please!!
Especially relevant with the lines "But when you talk about destruction, don't you know that you can count me out." and "But if you go carryin' pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow." The riots and the Communist iconography are exactly what John wants to be separate from.
@Debbie Smith all the way, baby!
The Maine Surveyor notice though he says “count me out... in” showing the divisive stance he had. He wanted peace as an end result but he was unsure what was needed to achieve it. He knew a revolution was needed but not what kind
I’ve been listening to the Beatles for like 3 years now, and I haven’t listened to every single one of their songs, so I’m still discovering more of their songs. Today I found this one, and I can not stop listening to it. This song is incredible.
Keep listening and digging into Beatles body of work. You will NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED!
Enjoy the mind blowing journey.😊
Trust me, I don't think they ever had a bad song on any of their albums. And if you notice how as they made new albums the music changed into another level higher than the previous one. And they did it in such a short time. It's like they had all these lyrics and melodies hidden in their minds and they were just waiting to be let free to sing them. And their songs are so emotional that everyone can relate to them. That's what made them so liked, because it was like they were singing about us. Their songs started out as pretty simple rock and roll songs, and then morphed into something from outer space. Enjoy your journey through the many songs of the Beatles. You'll never get bored.
Yea, they were very creative, a huge range stylistically, keep digging, there's more
That's awesome!!
They were, they are, and forever will be, the greatest band the world will know. BEATLES 4 EVER.
True
Queen is better
WHAT! QUEEN IS NOT BETTER THAN THE BEATLES!
Queen is much more complex than the Beatles, they have longer songs, and not to mention they still perform to this day.

@@Funkman47 They were singing but not actually playing the guitars.
@Horo624 You typed “getting into it” twice.
Imagine hearing any Beatles song the first time it hit the airwaves, all these years later and I still can't describe it
I’m old enough to say I heard it for the first time it played. I was amazed. Hey Jude too. I could even remember the words to Hey Jude the next day. That’s goood music!!!
Yeah. I was twelve years old when this song (on a double-A-side single with "Hey Jude") was released. The Beatles changed their style so frequently and so drastically from 1964 through1970 that every record that was released almost sounded like a new band. Amazing.
Wow! Even now all these years later it still moves me.
It would probaly be the same as when you heard any of them for the first time at any time
My mom was very anti-beatles... But her sister had a couple of their 45s. But I listened to them when I was in junior high and high school. It's good to hear some radical music... 😎
What makes this the ultimate protest song is when John Lennon sings “When you talk about destruction, don’t you know that you can count me out" he immediately off mic also says "IN". 0:34 Most people miss that one word. It's the real human doubt vs the ideal that makes this song next level genius. That is John Lennon.
John Lennon was a genius and so talented! No way this dude should be dead right now. Absolute insanity what happened to him!
@@TedParkman Indeed, it is maddening. It doesn't bear thinking about how much great music and wonderful wit the world has lost.
I've always wondered about that. Never seen an explanation. All I can think of ... John was in for part of the "revolution," but out for other parts.
John says “IN” because he hadn’t made up his mind about joining anything destructive. He doesn’t say it in the final version because he made up his mind, “Don’t you know that you can count me out “.
@@wchambers3849 You may be too young ... but, I'm pretty sure on my original, genuine, White Album, John does, in fact, say "in." Or, somebody says it..Either way. Doesn't matter. I appreciate more today than I did in 1969 -- whenever -- what talented guys they were. Especially George, who I think is underrated. His riffs were perfect for the Beatles, if not of the quality of Clapton or Mick Taylor.
Fell in love with the Beatles in 1964 as a little 7 yr old girl and I still love them today!!❤❤

The day after this George recorded While My Guitar Gently Weeps
+Jannik Lindquist yup and Eric played the same guitar as George has in this video
+Henry Murray If only he'd played it as well as George. Or better yet, not played on "While My Guitar..." at all.
whys that?
+Henry Murray Oh I'm sorry, I'm guessing you like his playing (Clapton) - I'm just being grouchy 'cos I really dislike it. Even in Cream, I love Baker's drums, Bruce's bass, vocals and songwriting but the guitar playing (and guitar arrangements) bore me senseless. But more than being bored, I actively dislike virtually every musical choice he makes. I'm particularly grouchy about "While My Guitar..." because firstly, I think it's the worst guitar solo on any Beatles track ever and secondly, after that time, it seemed that Harrison became very influenced by Clapton's high widdle-diddle 'bluesy' soloing. As you can imagine, this is a VERY minority view ;) but there it is.
understood
You can argue on if they were a rock or pop band all the live long day. In my opinion the Beatles themselves are their own genre. They did everything from pop to metal, to rock, blues, to ballads and show tunes, even children's sing alongs! They helped inspire and create some of the other best bands in the world. They absolutely owned the 60s. They changed the world and music as we know it for the better and I'll always be so grateful. How all four these immensely talented men got together to form this band is something supernatural.
I've been listening to them since the beginning. It never gets old. Side two of Abby Road is as good as it gets.
Excellent post
They were pop, according to their era. Pop is not a fixed definition, only what's popular, and being pop doesn't prevent you from being another genre. Sometime in the future, its possible that Death Metal will become the preferred genre of the masses, and then that will be considered as pop.
What do you mean metal? This band doesn't even djent!
Krab Borg djenting wasn't a thing in the sixties love. Helter Skelter however does have a very metal-like sound, it was one of the heaviest songs of the 60s in fact and is referenced as a precursor to metal and one of the songs that helped inspire the genre. I want you (she's so heavy) also has certain doom metal undertones in it. You have to keep in mind the historical context. It was the 60s and technically metal wasn't a thing then, but through the Beatles' experimentation they helped create the genre. That's all I mean by it :)
Absolutely KILLER!

This is nearing the end of 1968 and getting near to the end of the Beatles. George Harrison is still only 25 years old. Goes to show you how young they were and how they did so very much of making great music in such a short amount of time.

I was 10 and obsessed!
Thank you for the context. Had to be 4 or so months prior to the Let It Be sessions. Aside from the references to past music, you don't really get a sense of how rapidly they were pumping out these tunes. I see the year of releases from album discography info, and the rate of their releases is just shocking.
@@yacobz totally agree. What I've really appreciated about their music...is that rarely does any song sound like an earlier one. Fresh sound every time.
George was 26 years old by 1969 and he made Something, Taxman, Here comes the sun and While my gently weeps. Amazing musician.

@@Happylink75 McCartney’s scream goes back to the early Beatlemania days, and he’s the best screamer in rock n roll. Yoko’s “screaming,” or whatever you’d call it, sounds like a cat getting its tail slammed in a door.
Hmmm! i see what you did there 33 but John was stoned. Paul was stoned. Ringo was stoned and George was stoned.
The story. The color, the textures. The time. The people, the place. The compassion. The unspoken concern. The chronicle of daily real life. This is the genius. This is the magic.
It will never happen again. But we were there. The world is wonderful. Live it while you can.

juan altredo You could say they started a........REVOLUTION!!!!
juan altredo so did Hitler and Coca Cola.Idiot.lol
they really did.
I absolutely love this song. What I find astounding is that between May-1968 and August-1969 (15 months) the Beatles recorded The White Album, Hey Jude/Revolution single(what a single!), Let It Be, and Abbey Road. This period in itself would be an amazing career.
Hard working lads from Liverpool, The Beatles also used sleep at Abbey Road Studios around this time to get all this brilliant music recorded.
Yes I agree amazing, and awesome group the Beatles,in 1968,I was 2🙂
Have the 45 vinyl Hey Jude on other side Revolution.
drugs can have some positive effects , when not abused ...
I was 3 when the white album came out. I can't remember but my big brother tells me my favourite song at that time was 'Everybody's got something to hide except me and my monkey '.
I like how at the beginning when John starts you can see Paul getting startled
Lmao
Sheppard was the fill in....john was and is still the one that started the beatles
awww lol he’s so cute
The entire band was startled
Amazing!!! I've been to Strawberry Fields and it is magical. Really want to be there for the next celebration. Peace and 💕 RIP John❤
They set the bar so high no one else has ever come close. I doubt anyone else ever will.

What about The Beabs?

As a musician, this rhythm is so hard to get with a full band. The beatles were the greatest at this.
The best musicians listen to the room. The room tells everyone how to play, and it sounds perfect
I'm no expert and don't have the experience. Curious as to what makes it difficult.
@@242-f5u because if you listen to the chord inflections, it doesnt follow the 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2 that you hear in the verse of say, johnny b goode. it is incredibly sincopated(off beat), and when you see ringo playing just a straight 1,2,3,4, its left to all the other musicians to lock into eachothers off-beated-ness. can get real messy without alot of practice
@@gilbyjackson304 Got it. Great explanation. Almost progressive rock like in the way you describe it.
NASA...piece of cake...1 2 3 4......1 2 3 4......easy😃👀👍
2:20 is my absolute favorite - you just gotta love Ringo
Love and Peace everyone!
Rings didn’t want to be left out.
I would not be the independent artist I am today if not for the Beatles. I am 75 years old and still make music and record. Those four lads are the reason I bugged my parents to buy me my first guitar and lessons. Man it was a magical time and the music was music unlike today that passes for music that couldn't even come close to the great original music that the Beatles created. Timeless songs that will never grow old or die.
Well said..They opened the door for all the good bands that came out after them...I'll do a little exception for Bob Dylan and Jimi ;+) who were geniuses anyway, Beatles or not (in my opinion)...
@@alainclement9244 The Beatles opened the door and man I was on heaven when the British invasion came- Dave Clark Five, Kinks, Moody Blues, Cream, Gerry and The Pacemakers, Herman's Hermits and so many more. We had our own greats as well- The Byrds, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and so many others. It was truly a magical time for me.
Who thinks that the first few seconds, Lennons screaming guitar solo is very satisfying?
Jack Myhre Proto Metal. The Beatles were well aware of the upward rise of Led Zepplin and Black Sabbath, so they tried their hand at a heavy sound with an old song released as an acoustic track on the White Album.
The electric version of "Revolution" was recorded just over one month after the acoustic version. The electric version was John's attempt at challenging Paul's "Lady Madonna" as the band's next A side more than anything.
Jack Myhre I especially like the part where George's guitar has a keyboard-like synth sound
Jack Myhre That tone is shit man. Tf are you talking about?
jamie you're quite correct. found out later on the 'heavy' sound was as far back as 65. George's pal Clapton had that nailed first with Cream.
BEATLES are by far the greatest and most influential band there ever was or ever will be, period.
Wings are better
Kenny Thunders True! Watch the movie Cadillac Records. It was the black race that invented music and got it started and Chuck Berry sped things up a bit. Muddy Waters said "blues had a baby and called it Rock N Roll.
Kenny Thunders How do you know that they are the most influential that there will ever be? Are you a time traveller or something. Don’t say things that are stupid like that
@@bluepeng8895 Wings these days are certainly underrated -- they did some great stuff, but I don't think they were better than The Beatles. (McCartney also thinks The Beatles were better.)
A Bird Mad that the Beatles produced the best music that ever existed?
NO band can ever hold a candle to these four guys. Four guys that LITERALLY changed the world! Beatles FOREVER! Thank you Working Class Liverpool, UK for giving the world your native sons!
God bless them all, each and every one!
Hi Vort. I can't believe how lucky I am to have lived almost my whole life in Liverpool, from the mid-sixties onwards. I used to work in Penny Lane post office and I've often walked or driven past John Lennon's childhood house, Strawberry Field and Eleanor Rigby's grave. I'm a very proud Scouser and, of course, I love The Beatles.
Yes. We are still listening in 2024.
And we are never going to stop listening to this.
The Beatles were an amazing musical miracle.
Paul, George and John....”hey let’s shave off our moustaches but not tell Ringo”...
😂🤣
Yup Ringo left ring out of the loop
Poor little ringo colled to love
This comment made me laugh!! I don't think Ringo could have cared less really.He was grooving with his Brothers and drumming away like a trooper.
Funny
For the record, Ringo’s drumming looks simple and effortless, but keeping the timing like that, with both hands hitting the beat at the same time (including some of the drum fills) it’s really hard. Just an amazing drummer!
I noticed he is singing with no mic
@@captinbeyond He liked the song and music. Don't you ever sing along when a song you like is on the radio, or otherwise ?!?! I do it all the time !!!
It always seemed to me that John and Ringo made music effortless.
They were very creative and innovative
@@lunarods5466 Paul McCartney was and is the most productive of all the Beatles, PERIOD !!! He wrote and sang the their biggest hits !! He also, after the Beatles is the most successful of them all. You can fact check the numbers on Google.
@@richardalexander4300 Yeah, I do sing along all the time. And lot better than Ringo. Even he admits he's not that great, but real good on the drums.
I’ve always loved this video, it’s timeless. Shows what they could have looked like if had carried on into the 70s as a touring rock band. Untouchable.
Most bands would die to be this good. The Beatles released it on the B side.
Bernard Finucane And that was BS . This should’ve been it’s own release
It's was a double A side single. Like Something / Come Together.
To be fair, it was likely considered a "double A side" single by EMI and the Beatles. But still, good point. So many examples in their singles. Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields, Paperback Writer and Rain. So much great material that even their B sides were A sides in a lot of cases.
In my opinion, I feel Hey Jude hasn't aged well. If it comes on the radio, I'll flip over to something else. But when Revolution comes on I never flip it. It's as powerful now as when I first heard it and I'm old enough, barely, to remember when this was released...it was quite popular...it even reached a lad of 6!

I was born in 1960 and had six older siblings. Mom played classical music on the piano, dad listened to folk music and top 40 radio, most of my older siblings listened to music, some played. I was around music from the day I was born. I started really paying attention to what I was hearing in the summer or fall of 63, around the time I turned three. I was becoming a pretty big music fan already (some people refuse to believe I could have been loving music that early, some say it's impossible, which I find funny). The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan in Feb 64 and one of my brothers bought Meet The Beatles right around then. I was a huge fan right off the bat. I have vague memories of seeing them on Sullivan, but I know I watched them. They just looked so different with that long hair and those suits and boots, and their guitars looked so cool. And they had those British accents. I was too young to understand the newness of their music, of the impact they immediately had on the music scene, but I was a huge fan from then on. As the years went by my siblings bought most of their albums as they came out - Something New, Beatles 65, The Early Beatles, Rubber Soul... They started showing the movies on TV, the cartoon came out. My two sisters and I would play a 'game', we'd say 'let's play Beatles', and we'd pretend we were them, each taking a role. I have so many great memories of listening to their music as I grew up. Back then I didn't understand the progression they were making, but no matter what direction they went in I loved their songs. I started playing guitar when I was 14 and started learning their songs, which I play and sing to this day. I write this 'essay' occasionally when I watch one of their videos here on UA-cam, and I can't help myself from saying all this again and again. I can honestly say my life would not have been the same without The Beatles. There's The Beatles and then everybody else.
Why won't people believe you? My currently 3 year old son not just loves the Beatles but knows almost all their songs fully by heart, performs them non stop all day every day :)
@@masoommoitra941 It was just one person. That's a good question. I guess because they weren't like that at that age and didn't know anyone else who was.

Never. What a combo.
