Rock doesn't get harder - maybe fluffier but not harder and yes, it's easily in metal category. Beatles did many really hard rockers. It's All Too Much (guitars roar but G. Martin pushed them a bit into the background), fast Revolution, Birthday, ...Me and My Monkey, ...Warm Gun (guitar solo), She Said She Said, Abby Road Medley and the list goes on. Still, because of their early songs ('62 to '64 - also genius), they have been labeled a "pop" group ever since ...snickering now.

I love the rhythm guitar part. It's so... I don't know, I can't figure out why I like it. This is a song that's cover proof. Doesn't stop people from trying though.
He bends on the neck of the guitar to throw the chords out of tune and make it sound more demonic. So many people don’t do this when they play it and so it just doesn’t have the same impact at all.
It's such a dirty and heavy inducing sound. I can understand how Manson envisioned an apocalypse to this song. The rhythm guitar sounds like jets crashing and flames erupting. Pure metal
The magic of this track is the juxtaposition between the filthy, deranged, heavy instrumental and the Beatles angelic harmonies in the ‘ahhhs’. She coming down fast!
John was a terrible bass player ,he'd tell you that himself if he was alive,he plunked on the the strings in a really primitive way here,but it gives the song thundering low end that pails melodic bass would have not had
@@thesilvershining they did not have access to the newly released take 17 where it is obviously paul and there is no debate, :all accounts means you saw a couple of poorly researched books or web pages, time moves on, they are inccrrect, the facts are now known, its macca on bass.
It's too bright to be a Jazz Bass, There is photo evidence of John using a Bass VI while recording the song, If john would've been playing a 4-string Fender Bass it would've been a Precision Bass because that's the Fender Bass the John had, the Jazz Bass was Paul's.
@@knucklechuckle2079 He does. I thought for years that Lennon played it, because it says so in the official records. Turns out he only played the slow, first takes, with McCartney taking over by the time they finished working on it. There’s an unused take on one of the Anthologies where you can hear McCartney talking to the band and playing at the same time.
Mal Evans is going full on Penderecki on his trumpet by making strange eerie sounds by blowing whatever notes he can find on it and doing so in an order of dissonances.

@@beatleschick The Playboy Interviews done in late 1980. They should be online. He was fairly of a lot of the entire Beatles catalog in that interview. He called the song Birthday garbage 😅. ( then he got shot )
Another of Paul’s lovely ballads
hahahaha. is this not the beginning of hard rock?!
@@mikeday2393 heavy metal*
😂
Paul was on to something. Wish he did more stuff like this
@@tomslick2058 he’s done a lot of hard rock over the years. He just doesn’t like sticking to one genre
Paul torturing his vocal cords, like on Monkberry Moon Delight. The best. Screamin' Paul.
Funny the boys were just having fun with this I bet, but the first time I heard this it scared the hell out of me.

absolutely agree with everything u say here. period
Those background vocals are ridiculously good.
Always the best from the very beginning
De chaques groupes , les instruments pris séparément sonnent ridicules . Et ensembles cela forme un putain de titre .
Yeah nobody did back ground vocals like the Beatles. Never sounding out of place like some other bands
Drums: Ringo Starr (1968 Ludwig Hollywood Maple)
Trumpet: Mal Evans
Bass: John Lennon (1961 Fender Bass VI)
Rhythm Guitar: Paul McCartney (1962 Epiphone Casino)
Lead Guitar: George Harrison and Paul McCartney (1957 Gibson Les Paul Standard and 1964 Fender Esquire)
Piano: Paul McCartney
There’s definitely overdubs with Paul’s Esquire for some of the lead.
Esquire?
@@DLD2Music Paul owned and used a Fender Esquire. He used it for Benefit of Mr Kite and Good Morning Good Morning as well.
@@thomaspappalardo7589 i know it, but are you sure that he use that Guitar during white album sessions?
@@DLD2Music Not 100% but some of the tone in the later part of the song sounds more Fender than Casino
thanks for putting it in mono i’ve been looking for a mono version of this song with the continued ending

Yeah. What is he playing there? Is it out of tune ? I’ve played in bar bands covering this and we would just play an E which doesn’t come close.

@@thesilvershining Yeah, having done this for a few songs, visions of the headstock snapping off in my hands makes it just feel wrong.

@@thesilvershininghe’s hitting the low E so hard that it goes slightly sharp
I now believe what drove CM over the edge wasn't the lyrics / vocals.
Looking at you, Johnny boy!

Great badass bass from Lennon! Thanks.
yes, a grotty bass sound!

@@patrickalloyssius9138 he didnt, its macca on bass, even this poorly played drunken bass line was beyond lennons meagre abilities
@@simonjames1604I don’t think so, ALL accounts say it was John on bass.

Paul's a-capella rendition is mind-boggling
GREAT
That nasty grungy bass VI used to just shred my mid range speakers of my stereo when I was a kid
I love Helter Skelter so much. Purely because of how wacky it is!
Ahh, the bass that somehow disappeared in Giles Martin's remix.
@phillydisco Is that a joke? His remixes are notoriously bass heavy. Just listen to Come Together.
The Bass Guitar !@@TheJayson8899
The feed back was a perfect add to the song lol,,,
¿ COMO DICEN QUE PAUL MURIO EN 1966...SI AQUI OIMOS LA MISMA VOZ DE " LONG TALL SALLY.....??????
Can anyone settle the bass debate? Is it a Jazz Bass or a Bass VI?
It's too bright to be a Jazz Bass,
There is photo evidence of John using a Bass VI while recording the song,
If john would've been playing a 4-string Fender Bass it would've been a Precision Bass because that's the Fender Bass the John had, the Jazz Bass was Paul's.
@@hamueramusic Evidently it’s Paul playing bass after all
So it’s probably the Jazz
@@McDoinkyPaul does not play bass on this track

ALUCINANTES Y SURREALISTAS GUITARRAS.....super cancion de THE BEATLES....Tenia que ser de McCartney.......
Awesome. No wonder Maccas voice is shredded now though
5:00 - (Upper Left Corner of Image) GH on Rosewood Tele?
Yes
Yeah the image is from the Get Back sessions
15:50 is that something breaking right before Paul sings “break you”?
Who's yelling at the end? Paul or Ringo?😂
Ringo
Does Harrison play Lead Guitar?
@phillydisco it’s actually both of them
No Paul did not,,, George did a 2 track split on leads
Can i ask how did you do this i use rip x kind of good is this from rock band or on your own ?
These ones came from the Beatles rock band game, links are available to find the moogs online if you look enough
U-2 CAN GET BENT THIS SONG IS CHARLIE MANSON PHONY KING ARTHUR CHUCK I PLAYED THIS SONG FOR MADAM PAYLAY VOLCANO ON BOOM BOX IN 1979 IN HAWAII.
Yeah, Paul was definitely the cute one, could only write sappy ballads.
The Beatles were just pop, just a boy band.
John a scrappy punk bassist before it was a thing
John doesnt play the bass, he is only on the slow early takes.
That isn't John on bass.
Yes it is
WHO IS IT THEN?
@@hamueramusic Paul
@@drewsturgeon9511 how can you explain john not having any credit for guitar but having credit for bass?
short answer: IT'S JOHN
@@hamueramusic its macca this playing is way too confident for john. he had no idea about bass lines

Tracks sounds like crap individually, until you put all the sounds (aka entire Choir) together, and then you get genius
Esta cancion....ensamblada o descompuesta es para disfrutarla con un buen cigarrillo de marihuana...........
John Lennon absolutely hated this song and wanted nothing to do with it!
Well John was absolutely mad, this is one of their best songs 😂
Lennon often hated good songs from McCartney
And WHO CARES?????!!

@@boycewebb :`(
Gawd almighty Lennon´s bass work is horrendous, but somehow it manages to fit. Probably because it´s essentially buried in the mix. 🤣
It's great, and it's Paul.
John is a bad bassist..
Why?
@@magixtracks7501 if you listen carefully, he can't keep the right time. This is essential for a bassist
@@matthew9148 You've reason. But, this bass sound like me remenber that a Motorhead's bass player, I just sound me it similar.
@@matthew9148 In my opinion, John doesn't play very bad
i thought the grotty wild sound was the point of the song...
