TBH, I've never seen a content creator put soo much effort and dedication in the work that they're doing. I hope you'll get to more and more subscribers and I hope gives the best for you!
hey man I love your videos
Happy 2020
Hey don’t forget to do a video on piggies❤️🥺
I can't believe until now, after all your videos I have watched, I hadn't been a subscriber, but I hit the button today.
"you three are really close."
"i thought it was you three!"
this. this says a lot about them.
I legitlly choked and almost cried while reading this. The amount of bitterness is too much for me. :(
True, it really gets to the issue.
They weren’t communicating with each other properly.
Wild how that solid fact and Ringo bringing that to light echos even today in our society.
Eleven: Ringo has still blisters on his fingers
Ha! Oh that Ringo. ua-cam.com/video/-d7uyXzRbAs/v-deo.html
That's John Lennon who has blister on his fingers.
Freewheelin' Franklin no it’s ringo
@@joegordon2915
I stand corrected. I always thought it sounded like Lennon.
Freewheelin' Franklin me too
I love the fact that George brought Flowers in the studio for Ringo.
He was so kind and lovely.
Ringo quitting because, he was feeling unloved.. owf that hurts 🥺
Paul laid down that great drum track on Dear Prudence before Ringo returned, so it all worked out.
I read in magazine interview of Ringo where he said the favorite session ever for him was one where in recording this album one day they were waiting for George and he was going to be late or maybe not going to show up and John just got in the mood and started jamming playing blues and Ringo started jamming and that’s when they recorded Yer Blues. Something John was champion at but you almost never heard him play.
Another place you can hear him play blues is on a video of Frank Zappa concert where Frank wanted him to come and play with them and he did but he brought Yoko along ( of course ) and he did a ‘ Stray Cat ‘ kind of blues with Yoko making horrendous cat sounds. It might have been an awesome recording but Yoko wrecked it. Frank Zappa’s band started making fun of her and John got all pissed off. Frank was pissed too because he wanted to jam with John Lennon not his icky sidekick that nobody liked.
She sure wrecked a lot of things, I don’t think anybody liked her except John
And because he felt he was playing badly...
@@michaelszczys8316 the cat noises are good
I always assumed it was because he had blisters on his fingers.
The first time I heard “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” took my breath away. I was so touched I almost cried.
@Yitzhak Finnegan I didn't know that it was Eric Clapton playing the lead for a long time until my dad told me it was him. He actually turned George Harrison down sever several times when George Asked him to collaborate. Eric Clapton said he couldn't do it cuz it was the Beatle's and he didn't want to interfere and he felt like he couldn't do justice to the song. But George persuaded him. And I'm glad he did
I almost farted.
yes~geoage harrison and stones poor but amazing sound
While My Guitar Gently Weeps was the first song I listened to when I got into The Beatles.
Jesus christ that profile picture
I've always had a special place in my heart for Ringo. The guy just wanted to belong and to be part of something special. He didn't seem to have a huge ego or any agenda besides being an essential part of the team. That's never a bad thing.
Ringo was definitely very humble, I agree. Nowadays his ego has grown a little bit, though
@@skysmindgarden That's fine. I never was a fan of the four individually when they split up. Some of their stuff was fine, but they were never as good as they were together, harmonizing and playing off of each other's craziness.
Oh my goodness, such a false narrative, did you know that Ringo doesn’t DO shaking hands with the fans, be just does elbows, as does the once admired but not anymore by me, when we paid extra for
@@elliepond5984 I guess you didn't know that Ringo is susceptible to grave illnesses and has nearly died several times in his life. He also has terrible allergies, and it's probably a good thing that he doesn't shake hands. A man I admired named Paul Harvey (he's dead now) used to say that shaking hands was a bad idea, he didn't do it, but rather saluted or bumped elbows, because such contact spread sicknesses. So, maybe you should cut the guy some slack.
yohannbiimu No I didn’t know that, so now it makes sense. I will cut him some slack, thank you.
The White Album is a postmodern masterpiece, an unprecedented and unequaled collage of musical styles and moods showcasing 4 geniuses at their spontaneous best.
Geniuses? The foundation of their songs (after the first four albums made up of 2.5 minute pop) were written by Theodor Adorno.... the real 5th Beatle.
@@dicksmall7976 Outtakes on box sets prove theory that Beatles didnt play or write own songs as BS
@@user-fu2mi1nd5l You obviously know nothing about music.
@@dicksmall7976 Also, there is a special and very specific kind of talent associated with crafting a perfect pop tune that clocks in under 2 minutes or 3 minutes. It's analogous to crafting a perfect sentence.
Petition to put out Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band facts ASAP!
ooooh I can't wait to get to that one
Alester Crowley is on the cover. Back row, second from left I think.
Don’t get me wrong.. The Beatles were fantastic. However, the white album was virtually garbage. . It should have been released as just one disk and even then some 50% of that should have been put in the rubbish bin... What a far cry from Revolver.
@@Sidtheoldiesman1 I rate white album. I like Cry Baby Cry too. John was quoted saying he was embarrassed to have even written it.
He discounted a lot of his Beatles songs. Art changes. But I liked them.
@@Sidtheoldiesman1 With the exception of Revolution #9 and Wild Honey Pie I disagree
I was surprised that he didn't mention that Eric Clapton did the lead guitar on While My Guitar Gently Weeps or that Paul McCartnet played the drums on 2 of the tracks when Ringo was away.
Ringo was away because he had walked out. He was angry at McCartney's criticisms of his drumming.
5:50 such good timing. it makes it look as if John is saying that 😂
oh my gosh, George putting flowers when Ringo came back, that's so sweeet.....~!!!! ;v; ✨💖💖💖💖✨
"Dear Prudence" is also from their time in India, and is about Mia Farrow's sister, who spent all her time in her room.
OK Thank you Kev.
One of my fav songs, apparently John learned the Clawhammer picking style in India by Donovan Phillips Leitch - he did good
Haha wanting her to get out
Yes, I understand she hid there to be away from the handsy Maharashi; Puts a dark tinge on my favourite Beatles song.
I was 16 when it was released. Opening the album and playing the records was a feeling I have yet to match.
Boomers are everywhere!
i'm 30 years of age at the moment & i can absolutely say i had the same feeling the first time i dropped the needle on that album. it is an absolute gem
@@humboldthammer the subject is The Beatles, not Beyonce. So there's going to be boomers.
@@timhuggins7069 And EVERY generation is born knowing nothing and must learn everything anew. How about those FAKE EWES who proclaimed Trump chosen by God in 2016? Verily, they are ravenous wolves.
@@humboldthammer And I like green beans and ham. That has absolutely nothing to do with trump either.
George wrote the best ballad of all time in "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." And sung and played it beautifully as well.
Even though I feel 'Revolver' is their best album as well as the best of all time, if I put on a Beatles' album, it will be 'The White Album'. It feels like a journey as it goes from a relatively benign feel and becomes more ominous along the way and ends up in 'Revolution 9'. Having lived through the Manson killings and experienced the Beatles' influence back them, I can almost see how a kook like Manson could interpret the album as he did. When you still have people running around convinced that Paul is dead based on album clues, you get an idea of how rooted the band was and still is in modern mythology.
He played it in REVERSE there are plenty of hidden messages on WHITE ALBUM in reverse Not all about PID
Poor little Ringo saved the band! ... for a little bit. It’s so cool that his actions made everyone check their own egos and then come to a resolution.
1. The White Album
2. Revolver
3. Abbey Road
4. Sgt. Pepper
5. Rubber Soul
Switch Rubber Soul to 3, Abby Road to 4 and Sgt Pepper to 5 and that's more like it. Don't get me wrong, every song on Sgt Pepper plays and I'm gonna say "oh ya that's one of my favs" but in reality, when you're a true super fan I think every song ends up being one of our favorites. The White Album is absolutely #1. I still feel it in my bones when I listen to that album, like I'm 14 years old again wearing headphones playing that CD in my back yard!
Those are the Beatles five best albums...mix or match the order.
Idk...i love all of those but something about magical mystery tour makes me reallllllly happy. i know it’s not as popular because it’s all silly songs but they are sooooo good
White album
Rubber soul
Abbey road
Just Let it be.
Revolver will always be my favorite album, but that is not to say that I don't care for all of their work. Most every song produced has found a place in my heart and memories.
Actually I'm sure Ringo said in the Beatles Anthology that Revolver was his favourite.
Vicarious Gamer, Revolver is my favorite as well.
I swear you always post when I desperately need something to watch so I don’t have to socialize 😂
r u me
The HollyHobs no but actually no
Lol, sounds like me. I love a boat load of info about things I obsess over way better than socializing with anyone
This comment is painfully lacking in self awareness.
Donavan I swear is one of the most underrated songwriters ever
after the beatles ofcourse
@@kundan906 they aren't underrated tho
I saw him at the Winterland in ‘68 doing the Gift From a Flower to a Garden album. It was sublime. Then I saw him 40 years later doing his Beat Cafe album. Charming and special as ever. He opened me to Celtic music which became a passion .
My uncle in law’s daughter was in a relationship with him. My uncle in law used to live with him for a while they were like best friends :D
So true. He's amazing.
'Wild Honey Pie' is me stumbling home after a night out, drinking, including some stairs.
The White Album might be called the greatest record ever made, not only in terms of its innovation but also because of its place in the Beatles’ career and its role as an aesthetic keystone for nearly all the rock-and-roll recordings that have followed.
FiatDuster "Who's Next" is a better LP. But I love "Quadrophenia" as well.
The fact that it is so sprawling and goes in so many different directions musically means that it's influenced a lot of different people, proto-metal, gentle folk, country, music hall, ska, blues, musicals. They had a go at anything they wanted to do musically in one of the best studios in the world that they had the run of with no time pressures. After Pepper they were in a position where they had the clout to do whatever the ***k they wanted and the White Album was the sound of that freedom.
Well said, dang
Whoa Darryl! What have you been smoking? It’s a good album, but an incoherent hodgepodge of ideas and styles. Led Zeppelin IV is the greatest record ever made. Even if half the songs were “covers”. Zeppelin III is also a better than the White Album.
@@petergibbon3400 Yeah I never really got into the white album I liked Abby Road much more.
For all the tension, this was my favorite Beatles album. So many great songs, wonderfully individualized. This blew me away as a kid and I still love it to this day.
I clicked on this video instantly. The White Album is my favourite Beatles album! I got the 50th anniversary CD for Christmas, I love the use of that fender VI bass used on tracks like Helter Skelter and While My Guitar Gently weeps. Fantastic video!
My brother gave me The White Album for Christmas the year it came out. I wore it out, memorized it, loved it. It's so diverse. Rocky Raccoon to Helter Skelter to Rev 9 to....
Mine too! Helter Skelter is pure metal, dude!
What no Abbey Road?
@@DaveSCameron Abbey Road is awesome but I have to agree, White Album is the best
Great video as usual BUT I need to clear something up. When you say that this is their best selling album, it's a misleading statement because you're leaving out a BIG detail. The RIAA counts two disc albums as double the sale of a single album. So if The White Album sells 10 million copies, it's officially counted as 20 million. So really, it's not their biggest seller in terms of individual packages.
The timing at 5:48 got me on stitches
HAH
@Kilobats305 blue meanies
Newer and bluer meanies
...not to mention the beautiful GOODNIGHT sung by Ringo. Gorgeous.
Beautiful presentation as always. Thank You!
I always enjoy listening to other BeatlePhiles talk expertly about the GREATEST BAND EVER...Thank you!
My personal favorite album. So dense, so versatile... love it!
I just came across your channel today, and it’s excellent material. I’m a huge Beatles fan and am glad to have found this. Thank you and keep up the great work!
I am so happy to have found a channel that is so passionate about the Beatles and so many other groups and music. I’m so excited to watch your videos and learn so many new facts about songs I like! Thank you! 💖🎸
I am listening to your album now. It's fantastic! Your UA-cam Channel is one of the best resources for Beatles fans on the internet! Keep up the great work!!!
Awesome channel, thank you, keep up the stellar work!!
Great video! The part about Ringo leaving and subsequently being wooed back to the band was especially bittersweet with the hindsight of knowing how everything was going to end up.
Thank you for the great video! 😁👍🏻
I really enjoy your insights....thank you
Her name was McGill, she called herself Lill, but everyone new her as Nancy.
Rocky burst in, and grinning a grin
He said, "Danny boy, this is a showdown"
But Daniel was hot; he drew first and shot, and Rocky collapsed the in the corner
The doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceded to lie on the table
He said Rocky you met your match ,Rocky said doc it's only a scratch
These videos are great. As a massive Beatles fan I love learning all the facts out there about them.
Well done as always. Thank you so much!
I love the music you put at the end of your videos... It’s so beautiful and peaceful
Enjoyed!!
Great video. The White Album has always been my favourite album.
Woah the editing is phenomenal! Keep up the amazing vids
Thank you. Good presentation. It is a more positive angle about Ringo's leaving than I'd heard before. I will look for others of yours.
This is an excellent video, and got me to start watching several more of your videos in a row. You got a new subscriber, and I'm so excited to see what's coming this year!
Great video, absolutely love this
The White Album has always been my favorite. It's the first Beatles album I ever heard and I listened to it with my Dad. This is a great video worthy of The Beatles. I enjoyed it. Thank you.
Well spoken and informative !
I had a very different image of you in my head from your voice. Thank you for making these videos! I’m obsessed with this band and I idolize them and I consider myself an expert on all Beatles facts and stuff but I have to say I’ve learned some stuff I didn’t know from your videos. Keep them coming!
great work...thanks
The third of the Beatles astonishing trilogy. Revolver, Sgt Peppers and then the White Album. They still reverberate to this day. Thanks for the great upload:))
And thank you, you always take me down memory lane but you add things about the Beatles and I thought I knew all about seeing how I grew up with them as a teenager in Ferndale Michigan,Used to fall asleep at night listening to their music
Nice video. I appreciate it.
Ay just in time for my lunch break. Thanks Boss!
I felt so bad for Ringo, he was the glue holding them together and not wanting to be part of the fights Paul and John had... What a great vid I subscribed
To call him ‘the glue holding them together’ is a major exaggeration. He was the member who was the least invested in the group and first to quit. He wanted to work and they weren’t working with him. I sympathize with him but he wasn’t holding them together at all.
Great man, thanks 😊
Well done. Thanks.
Beautiful Explanation Of The White LP,
& It Was An Explosion For The Beatles!
Nice video. Thanks.
Happy new Year an PEACE from Germany. Love your Channel.
A Doll's House would have been a great title for the album.
It does sound very beatles
The White Album was destined, however. If it was any different, it may not have been as successful
The HollyHobs I feel the complete opposite.. can’t see myself saying “a dolls house” is my favorite beatle album
Creepy title, and makes me think of the ‘butcher’ cover
I could just see the cover with an actual doll house with Beatle figurines peeking their heads out of it.
The White Album also was John’s favorite album
I think the white album contained John's finest songwriting ever. I would go so far as to call it his album. Abbey Road was Paul's shining glory, but the white album was John's.
Banished From The Dwarf Planet i agree with you, along with Rubber Soul, White Album was John’s finest hour. But John was always on fire tho...
Love your Beatle videos m8 keep it up 👍
my go to song in the white album is dear prudence, very subtle and simple
What do you think then of this cover by doug parkinson in 1969 in Oz
ua-cam.com/video/I9OvkP5m_3s/v-deo.html
by far without any doubt The Beatles are the best band of musicians in the world
Thank you, that was great. And thanks for not overbashing Yoko.
Hear hear, it's boring and annoying now and I'm guessing that it was then also.
Diese Platte gehört zu meinen 10 all-time favorites - und ich habe in meinem Leben eine Menge Musik gehört. Ein bunter Strauß an Musik verschiedenster Stilrichtungen von belanglos bis Avantgarde. Danke dafür und für die interessanten Fakten rund um dieses Album!
Thx. Knew quite a bit of that but never knew the working title. Good stuff 👌🏼
Good job. Well spoken. (Wonderful album.)
Thank you again for such a delightful video. I always enjoy your videos and share them with friends. Hopefully they will subscribe and also support you. You’re the best!
Well done!
This is my all time favorite album. I love the White Album so much.
I was young of 11yrs old when my uncle, a seafarer, asked me what I want for my birthday. And I said, a Beatles album, and so we went to a record store and he gifted me, of my choosing, the white album and magical mystery tour. I remember of all the great songs in the white album, I was fascinated with the song "Savoy Truffle" for some reason. It sounds delicious. Lol. But of course I love all of it including Wild Honey Pie and revolution #9 which is a bit of a heavy for an 11 year old. That's how my life was turned on to the Beatles... Forever!
Loving the Beatles vids
Good video. You have a good voice. After a while, I almost thought I heard a little Casey Kasem in your voice, which is a good thing. He had such a great way of speaking. Good Luck.
I really appreciate your work and channel here. I was 2 years old when
they arrived in the US, so you could say that I've enjoyed their music
from the get go. Interesting stuff to learn after so many years of
listening to their music. Glad that you've decided to put this info into
a comprehensive format. Thanks and keep up the good work. -VG
Excellent commentary.
This was what I look forward to on my Tuesdays no joke this is brilliant 💙
Deaky The invisible man My children 33 and 30 remember me putting the album on every Sunday morning as they were growing up ,they now know every song word for word and its etched in their hearts
String Strummer that’s lovely 😊
Deaky The invisible man thank you , may I ask why Tuesdays ?
String Strummer that’s usually when the hollyhobs videos come out
I played this over and over for a year, maybe more, before I went on to over play Rubber Soul! Sexy Sadie, was incredible and happiness is a warm gun is still my #1 Beatles song of all time. I think that may actually be more about me being in long term recovery of over 12 years. I def can connect. Thanks for the video, it's cool to see someone else with tons of Beatles knowledge!
YAY a new video!!
nice job mate
Love this story you put together. This is like a short version of Anthology.
Hasn't there been enough said and rehashed about The Beatles? Never! Nice video.
I used to live near Esher - It's pronounced EEsher,
you delivered a very good read, better than 90% of all of the audio book narrators I hear.. Thanks
Such great album. It goes in several different directions but that's what I think I love the most about the White Album.
I just wish the White Album had includes the single version of “Revolution”.
Or even "Hey Jude".
Totally
@@shotakuervo 😂👌
@FBI Alypstick It was recorded during the White Album sessions, and released as a stand alone single during the summer of '68. Almost mind boogling one of the most popular and powerful singles in their entire catalog was not included on the double album.
I dont know how anyone could ever hate this album
I mean so many tracks of diffrent genres and all are great (just my opinion)
Not through the hole video but until now very nice facts and good as usual
well, george martin was right (as usual). just too many clunker/weak songs. but the good ones are fantastic for sure.
David Osterberg -of course “why dont we do it in the road” is a bit strange but i absolutely adore the vocals on it
Its a fun and simple song and of course the lyrics isnt a masterpiece
But these simple and fun songs can be great too
I had "Good Night" played at my Dearest Mother's funeral on 27/09/2019. Still grieving today.
@David Osterberg Dear David, I am deeply moved by your very kind reply. Tomorrow is my Birthday (60) and will be very difficult as you can well imagine. But what you have just said has considerably eased a pain I know I will feel tomorrow. My very Best Wishes to you, Sir. She would be so proud of what you have just posted. Thank you and God bless you!
Geoff Gane im sorry for your loss
I hope your pain gets better over time
This album is the best album for me and absolutely is great cuz is the Beatles..
Thank u from kuwait 🇰🇼
"While my guitar gently weeps" is my all-time favorite Beatles song... it's just beyond description how beautiful this song is....❤️❤️❤️
BTW I think "Savory truffle"(from White album) is one of the most underrated Beatles songs...
Special thanks to Leah and to you! Enjoyed your presentation immensely!
Ironically, when John and Yoko recorded Double Fantasy John insisted that they both record SEPARATELY!!!
guess he wanted to have some hits!
I don’t think this is true
John knew that Yoko would distract him probably
Do you guys know that John was Yoko’s biggest fan, right? He loved the idea that half of the Double Fantasy album was of Yoko’s songs
Joao Gabriel 👍
That was really cool.
@6:59 The Beatles 🐞 🐞 🐞 🐞 look happy together..I love love this beautiful colorful, creative, fantastic band.
Another awesome video Mr Hobs! I’ll check out the Esher Demos. By the way, we pronounce it “Eee-sher”, as in B-ea-tles. Makes no sense I know, but that’s British English for you..! 😄🎸🇬🇧
Nice video, Mr. HollyHobs. The White Album is my favorite album (Abbey Road is a close second). I think it was a masterpiece, full of innovation and an incredible blend of diverse music styles. I think it needed to be a double album, which permitted the Beatles extra room for that creativity.
I think that people initially had a more difficult time with the White Album because it was yet another unexpected change in the Beatles' musical style. They had been producing very slick, polished albums using increasingly sophisticated instrumentation and the White Album was a complete 180 from all that. The songs have stripped-down arrangements, and the performances are good, but not perfect. The sound was thin and stark compared to previous albums. In retrospect, we know that the Beatles weren't working together as well as before, but at the time, we just knew that something was different. Once people got past the sonic differences from previous albums, they saw that these songs were more personal, intimate, raw and real than anything they'd done before, and those are the reasons why the White Album is one the Beatle's greatest.
You are the best with Beatle lore!!
