YOU LEFT OUT the following --- I read an interview with George and he said he went to see John and that he got the overpowering feeling that John wanted to re-establish things but could not because of the situation he was in, he said he could also see it in John's eyes.
Yoko was an outright bitch who had some kind of weird magical spell over John and could control him. Julian Lennon is brutal in his very honest criticism of Yoko, you can tell he really hates her! John was the only person that thought Yoko was great, and had any talent. Perhaps all the drugs John took around the time he met Yoko fogged his brain into thinking that she was good looking, smart, and a decent catch. All of the rest of the world saw her as an unattractive, gold digger, manipulating opportunist!
John was a prisoner unduly influenced by yoko to do only what she wanted him to do; she was insecure and threatened by anyone outside of their cocoon at the Dakota. Jmo😢
I'm a 70's kid and I was blessed to have grownup listening to The Beatles records and movies belonging to my parents. This is just from my perspective, George was über talented and ahead of his time likewise was John, very similar yet individual. John had a different relationship to Paul who was the connector and Ringo a sort of laid back glue. The relationship dynamics of The Beatles is like John - father, Paul -mother, Ringo - the Grandpa and George - the son. This band is the greatest in our universe, I assimilate to Mozart during his time. I feel we were gifted from God to have these musicians that added value to our lives like no other band has been able to.
I've always found that Beatles = Mozart argument to be a disservice to both the Beatles and Mozart. It's too very different styles of music and two dynamics. What makes the Beatles the BEATLES is the gestalt. They are four functioning as one and were not nearly as good when they separated. Lennon would have argured that point but quite frankly his solo career in particular proved the point. George's solo career seemed at first to prove that he was the unsung genius of the band given the strength of the All Things Must Pass album, but he never followed it up with anything as good again. Paul always admitted that there would never be another Beatles and that Wings was there to fill a different purpose, namely light entertainment. Paul is great at that to this day and is unfairly attacked for it. Ringo's career was always one based upon his personality rather than the quality of his songs. (He was one hell of a drummer, though, like a Swiss watch in terms of timing.) Mozart, and for that matter, Beethoven, Wagner, Vivaldi, Verdi, Puccini, Chopin, Brahms, Bruckner.... to name just a few...didn't need a band, a writing partner or a producer. They were singularly great. It's hard to say what these brilliant Western European composers would be like as band mates. My guess is that all of them would be rather like Lennon in terms of attitude, ego and forcefulness. All of them however were better musicians, technically speaking, than any of the four Beatles. Rock bands are not like classical composers because they are collectives by nature and function. It's apples and oranges. The Beatles a ARE cosmic. You're right about that. They are, at the same time a rock band, not a singular composer. George Harrison once said, when asked about these more lofty comparisons to Mozart, Beethoven and the gang, said "They're just simple songs, not like a symphony or something like that" I'm going with George on that one.
John Lennon said several times that George Harrison was incredible talented songwriter and musician. George made 1/3 of best Beatles songs during 1967-70 period. John and George clearly were most interested persons of band. George's artistic legacy is now valued more than ever during last 50 years.
@@robd1329 oh. Yes. Great way to put it. Full out luciferian now, and Sean. Lennon was a lot of things, but I do not know if he would be down with being out in the open with satanic stuff. That said, she handled him and neutralized him. Mission accomplished.
@@robd1329 I've read that theory before. There was some so called "white magic' involved, consulting charts etc... perhaps it went in a darker direction. By the same token I have met guys who say "my wife and I come as a team. If you don't accept her you don't get me". Witchcraft has nothing to do with it in the cases I've seen.
Sad. George looked up to John in their childhood, they both experimented with LSD together & dived headfirst into the psychedelia period of the beatles. George & John stayed in India while Ringo and Paul left. They were close & it's a shame that more isn't known about their last meeting in person. I saw an interview after John's death where George says "I know I'll see him again". ☮️
George commented in interviews that they all experimented w/some sorts of drugs during that "period" because as artists were exposed & credited it with influencing their music during same.namaste
I ask you, what would George have been without John? People seem to have forgotten that the Beatles was John's band. It was Stuart Sutcliff who named them. John and Paul were equals as a song writing team, which John was quick to admit. But in Billy Preston's words, John was the boss Beatle, the straw that stirred the drink.
John was no doubt the Boss Beatle, but George also contributed enourmously to the Beatles idiom. He wrote some of the best psychedelic tracks, inserted the Indian music inspiration, brought them to India (an incredibly creative period for the band), and added a layer of philosophical and religious ideas to the mix. He was also a very gifted musician with a distinct style. George would probably have been less famous without John but he would certainly have been a successful musician. He was very dedicated to his craft and also a people person who easily made friends.
I believe that now they're together in Heaven for both believed in.their own ways & hearts in a Higher Power & when one crosses over the soul is forever free & enlightened in.Universal.Truth however one wishes to.define it. ♥ 🙏 🕊 ☀
Yoko was Amazing.............YOKO ONO/PLASTIC ONO BAND is one of the seminal records of the whole 1970s. Its like a mixture of Magma, PIL, the Stooges, Pharaoh Sanders and Van der Graff Generator - all held together with radical feminism, New York chutzpah and Japanese Zen discipline. There's never been an album like it.
In some ways I think George was the most magical of the Beatles. He was so deep....and it is clear that Lennon noticed. The two appeared before the public to be interviewed about Transcendental meditation. John seemed unsure of himself but George spoke with a calm sense of self. John noticed. He apparently became petty and no one knew how little time left they had.
1978 was the last time they were together, not 1974. George was at the Dakota for dinner, which is probably the occasion George is speaking about in the interview. This was of course before 'I Me Mine' was published.
John was madly in love with Yoko but it was unfair of him to foist her on the entire world. He should have kept her out of his professional life with the other 3 Beatles.
Yoko is pretty harmless really She was just doing her John Cage impression. Not everyone realizes that Yoko as a young woman was seduced into the cult of Cage, which can produce exactly the laughable fake music that Yoko went out and did. That music was meant to be heard by 50 modern classical music nerds in a small recital hall, not 20,000 people at an arena. IMO John for his part wanted to make fun of the whole rock scene and put people on edge. He used Yoko for that, and found it funny that her aleatoric musical screams were annoying to the other 3 beatles, George Martin, and the audience at large. Later of course when saddled with a nearly tone deaf wife who still wanted to perform while John no longer found the act amusing he became quite annoyed with her musical efforts. As to his love for Yoko, I won't question that. They were obviously soul mates. By the same token John wasn't fooling anyone in terms of his deep feelings for Paul as a friend. Those guys were also soul mates. It is possible to have more than one after all.
I guess he should have listened to people like you about how to run HIS life?! 🤣😃😄 Telling other people you don't even KNOW, how they should or should not run their life, is really obnoxious and narcissistic.
@@funshine817 On the whole I agree with that. The only problem I can see is that the beatls aleady had an agreement not to bring wives and girlfriends into the studio. Once Yoko showed up they all brought their wives and girlfriends, so it was stll equal. I'm not a fan of Yoko the musician/performance artist but i have no problem with Yoko as a person, nor do i question their love as a couple.
@@canalesworks1247 That's refreshing, given how the world seems to hate Yoko so much. I feel bad for her. I also did not like her music, but as a person she seems like everyone else...good traits and bad traits, nothing evil.
@@staceykeeley4219 ok, I have never heard her sing, only screech. I guess that's why I never had any interest in listening to more of her. I assumed it would be the same.
I don't blame George for not letting Yoko on the stage with John. Nobody wants that. It's a "hill I would have died on" too. It is unfortunate they couldn't remain good friends, but John and Paul should have treated George and Ringo as equal members and not employees.
I saw an interview with George when he was commenting on John's death, he lamented that he and John had not seen each other for two years. This mini says their last meeting was in 1974. Someone is is error and I doubt it was George. To be sure, John and George were not on speaking terms on that tragic day in 1980, but it had not been 6 years since the two of them had met.
George's resentment is quite Justified if you know the context. George was never taken seriously as a musician by John and Paul. John often made things difficult when they didn't need to be and it certainly didn't help that Yoko was always with him all the time like a poodle in a bag.
He was very much well taken as a musician by John.. As in a Lennon iterview with him being good enough to jam with other bands like cream. John was, like I'm not as good as Paul or job in that aspect. Also, John did get of all guitarists, George on his first album....hmmm...its ok as long as it's johns way. John had too many narcissistic tendencies
People want to insist the breakup had nothing to do with yoko. I'm glad this is online. Yoko certainly was the reason things ended. Paul has changed his story about that. Yes, they were going in different directions, but the other Beatles couldn't stand her and John said Yoko has to be in the room with him always. Paul has sanitized alot regarding Beatle history. For example, the Beatles initially played the music for strippers, both in England and Hamburg. Paul denies that.
Their fans who were there via media for the breakup knew the truth about Yoko’s part in it. Yes, it true they had all matured and grown in different directions musically, etc. We were all very sad about the breakup but it was inevitable under the circumstances.
Yoko was the scapegoat for hundreds of thousands of people who were PISSED and disappointed that The Beatles broke up. They acted like The Beatles OWED them to stay together forever! What a bunch of narcissistic, self entitled losers. Be effing grateful The Beatles ever even existed, and have some empathy towards what Yoko had to endure with everyone hating her.
You’re giving her too much credit. They weren’t touring, Brian Epstein was dead, apple was failing, Allen Klein was slithering his way into the mix, John was using heroin, and Paul was acting as default leader which no one appointed. Yoko added to the tension, but they were on their way out regardless
one of the reasons Paul has changed toward Yoko is because she controls 1/4 of the beatles and he has to work with her. she has made it clear that she will not cooperate otherwise.
If yoko was a good person then she would of stayed home because she wasn't invited. I hate to say this and it breaks my heart but John acts like he don't have control of his mind . No one knows what happened to John Lennon in the clutches of yoko
She had convinced a very vulnerable man to leave his wife and child and live with her. She was a self-centered narcissist who thought nothing about what she did not only to the group but also to John’s first wife and their son. But as John so eloquently said instant karma is gonna get you. Yoko has much to answer for.
Like Lennon a lot but he had an ego the size of England. He was passive aggressive when Paul's leadership emerged in later years, and indifferent as George became a song writing peer.
I’m literally laughing out loud because I’m a Lennon-obsessive and everything you said is true. But Lennon’s musical output from 1962 through 1972 was so spectacular, I tend to forgive him for being such a prick.
@@joemartin35541 I don’t have an issue with that statement. But artistically speaking, the quality and consistency of Lennon’s output with the Fabs was mind boggling. (I’m more partial to his psychedelic faze, but his rock and folk stuff is awesome as well.)
I think the best example of the George /John relationship problems is when J&Y attended one of George’s ”Dark Horse” concerts. George did a cover of ”In My Life” to which he had added some rather silly Hare Krishna lyrics. John got furious, and later backstage he scoulded George along the lines of ”Don’t you ever sing one of my and Paul’s songs again”. George was devastated, of course. As the narcissist John was he couldn’t see George’s performance for what it was: a sweet tribute to his old bandmate. Instead he reacted as if George stole something from him. This was when George had his moment in the sun and was massively popular after the Bangladesh concert. It seems John just couldn’t let him have that.
You really dislike John. You are making massive assumptions. You have no idea what John and George's relationship was like, cuz...YOU WERE NOT THERE! George hating on Yoko was hardly kind and loving and it showed him to be a holier than thou, self righteous, hypocrite, as he tried to come off as some spiritual, peace loving, wise man, who had an affair with Ringo's wife.
He saw through George's passive aggression. Making a joke of his song by inserting Hare Krishna gibberish, which failed on two levels. Nobody went to hear George proselytizing for his religion, Hare Krishna. That was insulting. It was bad enough he corrupted his own songs with it. George was a virtue signaler and John wasn't.
@@funshine817 In fact I love John dearly. But I also consider him a troubled person who’s inner demons often led him to misinterpret and/or mistreat those around him. As for ”having no idea”, need I remind you there are endless lengthy interviews with both John and George (and their girlfriends and grandmothers) that document their lives and lets us into their way of thinking and their relationships?
@@wilhelmhagberg4897 We all are troubled in some way or another. We all do things we wish we hadn't, but I still disagree with your original comment, specifically about what George did or did not do. In that case, I am on John's side. Also, what endless interviews explained what John and George...not third party opinions, thought about what happened? No one really knows but John and George, and even they have their own opinions about each other which may or may not be accurate. You are putting all the blame on John, which is very unfair.
Doesnt surprise me, they were alot alike but worlds apart really. Its evidenced by how they tried to talk but couldnt come to an agreement really. They wanted to make it work but it was more of a headache because they had become grown ups and more independent, two way different paths. John has always been my favorite and I still agree with him (not saying I dont agree with the others) When you set out to create a rock n roll group and your friends start trying to take it over... for better or worse it is annoying. Although Paul and George's choices were amazing and revolutionary. It must have sucked to change the style you wanted or play second fiddle to Paul dominating the group towards the end, when all you want to do is rock n roll. Ego (ablaze), even though the work and concepts would be great... like the Indian stuff and Pauls ideas... I would hate that my band was changed and I had to play second fiddle ... Once I had already written us to glory and the top of the charts. It would be like starting an american football team... and you win and make millions then they make you the kicker and talk about Paul at quarterback. Not everyone can just let their creation drift towards bandmates that they saw as only friends and mates. To me it would make sense to tell them to just make their own CD in that case. Creative people like Harrison or Paul or John cant be boxed in and just play backup forever. They want to create their own ideas with a voice. So in a sense just like George was neglected and held back... they all really held eachother back in ways. Making solo albums before Paul crashed the plane and then agreeing to do Beatles compilation albums every 3-4 years would have been the way. But they burned out and fought for a voice all at once and way too late. And like I said in the first paragraph... all 4 men were on a different path and wanted different results. It was lucky it was meant to work in the first place really. Growing apart into their own independence was actually their greatest success on this planet. Mission Accomplished
I agree with your analyzis that John found it difficult to loose control over the group as the others grew musically. But I’m not sure he was 100% commited to the rock’n’roll style per se, after all he wrote many of the more experimental and non traditional tracks.
John made choices and one of those choices was choosing yoko over the band. Yoko wanted full control; it was not about John playing 2nd fiddle to Paul, it was the choices John had made. 😢
Much has been written about John and Paul's falling out after the Beatles break up. But less has been said about both Georges falling out with John and Paul up till 1980.
I know John insisted on having Yoko with him at all times and I have nothing but respect and admiration for John Lennon. I just think it would've been big of Yoko to say "No" to some of these situations. I've always been particularly uncomfortable with some of the later-day Beatles photos with Yoko right there in the middle. Couldn't she have just told John, "I'm not a part of this group. You go ahead without me". I would've felt the same way if it had been any other Beatle insisting that their particular partner was in a Beatles only photo. But alas, it's none of my business.
Yoko, I truly believe, was johns handler. The rest could not stand the situation. Comments in magazines during that time was that Lennon changed profoundly . " I don't know him anymore" was the comment. She was his handler.
george had every right to invite who he wanted to his "concert for bangladesh". he also had every right to perform "in my life". i love both of those guys and "all those years ago" sums up how george really felt about someone he never imagined would be senselessly murdered. people hold grudges no matter how iconic they are.
Don’t expect anything rational from artists like John and even Yoko. George was a fabulous person, intelligent, with a great sense of humour. And a wonderful musician in his own right. Forget all these fairy tales, they are meaningless.
I consider John Lennon & George Harrison to be the real thinkers of the Beatles. The first political song of the Beatles was Taxman, by GH. John, as an artist in many fields including politics, sketching, music, & every other aspect of art, was always around strong women(his mother, Julia, his Aunt Mimi, & Yoko). She attracted him to her avant-garde artwork & John wanted to get back to art projects. The money that John & George made was not the answer to them. They were looking for something that gave them inner peace, hence the trip to India where they both stuck around while Paul & Ringo left early. As far as George's artistic output, he was also involved with the industry. He produced many award winning films under the pseudonym, Handmade Films. And, he helped the world discover Eastern religion, philosophy, & music. I'm not taking any jabs at any of the Beatles, Paul was a tunesmith beyond compare(I Will is my favorite song of all time) & Ringo is a great drummer & I dig his great, funky voice.
I think George expected some things from John after the breakup and never really got it. For example the Bangladesh concert where John chose yoko over him. Don’t know but it’s a shame.
I think George carried his grudges too long, and he really shocked me when he recalled being woken up to hear of Johns Murder, then went back to sleep, as if someones pet dog had been run over.Instead of voicing his grudges and opinions at the time it happened, he carried it for years and sniped at the other's via the media.
There is a lot we don’t know. We do know that John had a lot of anger towards George for sleeping with Ringo’s wife. I just think the jealousy for John is like “hey, I was the Beatle, this was my band. You got to be the guitar player. You got to see me go through the crap that comes with being the guy. You became a wonderful songwriter and could indulge in spirituality for the most part without any of the pain. You got years with the two greatest songwriters of all time like a parasite. So, to not have any perspective and gratitude towards me sucks.” I could be wrong but I think that is the general vibe.
"We do know that John had a lot of anger towards George for sleeping with Ringo’s wife." That's the kind of spiritual person George really was. Besides the fact he lost interest in Patty because she couldn't have kids. Small person with a lot of hangups but thought he could lead people spiritually. Tried to get everybody into Hinduism but none of them were so gullible as him. Jealous of John and Paul but he should have been grateful because without them he's never have made it. 😢
They were the most individual and inner adventurers, and I think they had a lot of Love and respect; but there was Tension too. That's all! This tabloid-like video is arbitrary; we could equally make one of how good they were to each other! They were especially close in 1967n and also 1966, when they used to trip and give Derek Taylor and hos wife LSD
He did not. He loved and admired John to a fault. His response to John’s death was fine and in line with his religious beliefs - to him John wasn’t really gone.
I love George and all the other Beatles but let's be honest, George was good at alienating people and taking offense at perceived slights. With a prickly personality like his, it's unfortunate but unsurprising John drifted away from contact.
It seemed that George always resented Paul, but it came as a surprise when I learned that it was John that he really hated. George could be such an ingrate sometimes. He wasn't left out by John and Paul. He simply wasn't anywhere near their level. Of all the Beatles he was the luckiest to have connected with the others. No doubt that John and George were the most unpleasant of the group. Ringo no doubt the least selfish and nicest Beatle. Paul could be a bit full of himself but he has made great efforts to correct his mistakes from the past, make peace, and promote the legacy in a positive light.
I've always suspected that George was put off by John's heroin use and they had too much class to air it publicly. I can't find the quote but it may have been around the time of the Dark Horse tour that George compared getting into religion with heroin and that if other people aren't into it they won't be able to relate. Was he alluding to John?
george pissed john off in the studio on an album when he told john what he thought of yoko then again on the bangladesh concert deal again paul sugarcoated yoko to john good ole ringo never said much
The Bangladesh story is totally opposite of what ive heard. George did not any of the three as he didnt want to turn it into a Beatles reunion. Ringo insisted on being there
I heard differently, what I’ve always heard was that the other three were all invited but they would play with the other artists and not as the Beatles. Paul didn’t show as he stipulated that the other three would drop their lawsuit against him. John didn’t show as George said when asked what would Yoko do he replied, “Sit in the audience and have a lovely time.” Who know what was true, but that what I heard.
George DID invite the other three to perform there. FACT. John declined when he realized that Yoko was not invited to play on stage. FACT. Paul said no from the start. He felt what was the point of reuniting with the others as they had just spilt up. FACT. The video makes the error of saying that he had too many demands. He had no demands. FACT.
“Two of the most ICONIC members of the Beatles.” !!?!?? What is it with that word? It is so overused (and never used properly) that it has become meaningless. But in this use, it’s just embarrassingly silly. Dare I say “ICONICALLY silly.”
Paul’s interview the day after the murder is very suspicious to me. He doesn’t seem to be sad or grieving in the slightest. Chewing gum and being very casual, he describes the murder as a “real drag”. And even says it as a question, not a statement of his own feelings. He says; “It’s a real drag. Isn’t it?” Then walks away. Not what I would have expected him to say, but after all, I’m honestly not convinced that guy is even the real McCartney anyway. Which might put his words and actions into the proper perspective.
@@pslpom He so wasn’t in deep shock. Get real. He was super casual about the murder and this was the following day. The fans were in deep shock. McCartney was 100% apathetic. He wasn’t going through anything.
Atomicomic Yoko ..took revenge of Hiro.and ..Naga... But could have fallen on the Byrds. Ex.. and go and " sing the Ballad of Hiro hito.. " ..but happen to grift in London ...and meet Lennon ...who's was looking for a mother....Paul didn't mind as long as you don't touch his pounds... George didn't put up with that invasion . Ringo stuck to a 4/4....and open high hat
She targeted Paul first but he wasn't having that skanky grifter and didn't have the emotional neediness but then she saw John, and the predator instinct kicked in.
they are both mightily iconic and don't deserve having people wholly not their equals discussing how they handled the murder of john lennon! as much as i love elvis, the beatles were undoubtedly a match for him. one of them wasn't a match for a christian with a handgun who'd signed a record for said murderer earlier in the day.
@@canalesworks1247 all 4 beatles contributed more to the world than any of us criticizing them here. english is the only language i know to say it in. paul and ringo are wonderful. john and george were wonderful.
@@marcyfan-tz4wj I didn't criticize any of them. I was asking why the person who posted this video would call just John and George iconic when all four of them are iconic. So I don't think we disagree. It seems however that you are confusing me with someone else.
George Harrison was a better guitarist than John Lennon. but he didn't get the recognition that he should have. and it finally came a time when George Harrison had to speak up about it and John Lennon didn't care for that much, and after that their relationship was strained. I think George Harrison would have eventually tried to make amends with John Lennon. but unfortunately he was assassinated causing that to never happen. and I don't blame George Harrison for having to finally speak up. because each one of the members of the group should have had equal presents in the Beatles.
George was always thought of as a better guitarist than John. It's John who doesn't get enough credit for being a brutally tight rhythm guitarist and being able to get off some pretty damn good solos when he wanted to. The unmentionable killer nerd destroyed a lot of things when he murdered Lennon he was getting along with Paul, he had just put out a reasonably good come back album, and he seemed to be on an even enough keel to push for a reunion. If he had lived I'll bet they would have united at Live Aid. That kind of event would have excited George. I could picture them doing the oldies, John doing Twist and Shout, Paul doing Long Tall Sally, George on Roll Over Beethoven and then their hardest original rockers from the touring years: You Can't Do That, I Saw Her Standing There, Can't By Me Love, Help, Ticket To Ride...throw in a couple of bad ass George numbers that play well live and you've got a cosmic concert.
It started wrong so I gave up watching the rest. George and John were the most iconic members of the Beatles. What? All of them were iconic, Nebo Sha Lennon. They had the same impoortance.
The beatles were forever trying to dethroned the king elvis from his pedestal, the king was not amused and he kept his throne till the bitter end, you could say Elvis perished in the throne room. Without elvis there would be no beatles, they would belittle the king but only because they knew they would never be better than the king, even the four of them together were no match for the king, they at most caused amusement to the king who payed them no mind. After the breakup, John moved to new york to be closer to the king, so he can continue with his plots to dethrone the king. But John by himself would have no chance in his endeaver, just a insignificant cockroach for the king to step over, a minor nuisance and not much more. George and Ringo made numerous trips to the US in there plots to try and dethrone the king but they were unsuccessful time after time, Paul a realist stayed in london, he knew he was no match for elvis and let him be. John final words as he was neutralized by one of his crazed fans was "I been shot" , than john sang no more. In his hand he had a pack of unopened marlboro cigarettes he had just bought at the local liquor store, the other hand was a pen he used to sign autographs. A true poet was no more.
YOU LEFT OUT the following --- I read an interview with George and he said he went to see John and that he got the overpowering feeling that John wanted to re-establish things but could not because of the situation he was in, he said he could also see it in John's eyes.
Sometimes its easier to say sorry and make up with a beer
I’ve heard that too but haven’t found the interview
Can I assume the situation he was in was Yoko?
Yoko was an outright bitch who had some kind of weird magical spell over John and could control him. Julian Lennon is brutal in his very honest criticism of Yoko, you can tell he really hates her! John was the only person that thought Yoko was great, and had any talent. Perhaps all the drugs John took around the time he met Yoko fogged his brain into thinking that she was good looking, smart, and a decent catch. All of the rest of the world saw her as an unattractive, gold digger, manipulating opportunist!
John was a prisoner unduly influenced by yoko to do only what she wanted him to do; she was insecure and threatened by anyone outside of their cocoon at the Dakota. Jmo😢
Those four guys loved each other as brothers. Ups and downs included.
Def..george hate john cos he left him/the band and always include yoko(unprof)..john know..john always be his big bros
John Lennon and George Harrison certainly were two of the four most iconic members of the Beatles.
🤔 To me, all the menbers of the Beatles are iconic, Everyone contributed their stone.
All four were iconic. Ringo was just as iconic as any of them. And Paul? Hello.
Sir Paul McCartney ❤❤❤
And Ringo Starr- most followed by the Press in the height of Beatlemania 🎉
People responding might not get it but yes, culturally and artistically perhaps the 2 most.
What does that even mean? "Two of the four most iconic members". There were four.
I'm a 70's kid and I was blessed to have grownup listening to The Beatles records and movies belonging to my parents. This is just from my perspective, George was über talented and ahead of his time likewise was John, very similar yet individual. John had a different relationship to Paul who was the connector and Ringo a sort of laid back glue. The relationship dynamics of The Beatles is like John - father, Paul -mother, Ringo - the Grandpa and George - the son. This band is the greatest in our universe, I assimilate to Mozart during his time. I feel we were gifted from God to have these musicians that added value to our lives like no other band has been able to.
I've always found that Beatles = Mozart argument to be a disservice to both the Beatles and Mozart. It's too very different styles of music and two dynamics.
What makes the Beatles the BEATLES is the gestalt. They are four functioning as one and were not nearly as good when they separated.
Lennon would have argured that point but quite frankly his solo career in particular proved the point.
George's solo career seemed at first to prove that he was the unsung genius of the band given the strength of the All Things Must Pass album, but he never followed it up with anything as good again.
Paul always admitted that there would never be another Beatles and that Wings was there to fill a different purpose, namely light entertainment. Paul is great at that to this day and is unfairly attacked for it.
Ringo's career was always one based upon his personality rather than the quality of his songs.
(He was one hell of a drummer, though, like a Swiss watch in terms of timing.)
Mozart, and for that matter, Beethoven, Wagner, Vivaldi, Verdi, Puccini, Chopin, Brahms, Bruckner.... to name just a few...didn't need a band, a writing partner or a producer. They were singularly great. It's hard to say what these brilliant Western European composers would be like as band mates. My guess is that all of them would be rather like Lennon in terms of attitude, ego and forcefulness. All of them however were better musicians, technically speaking, than any of the four Beatles.
Rock bands are not like classical composers because they are collectives by nature and function. It's apples and oranges.
The Beatles a ARE cosmic. You're right about that. They are, at the same time a rock band, not a singular composer.
George Harrison once said, when asked about these more lofty comparisons to Mozart, Beethoven and the gang, said
"They're just simple songs, not like a symphony or something like that"
I'm going with George on that one.
@@canalesworks1247Brian Wilson would fit in much more with the classical composers.
@@patcola7335 Closer, that's true. Sadly his sanity was similar to Robert Schumann.
John Lennon said several times that George Harrison was incredible talented songwriter and musician. George made 1/3 of best Beatles songs during 1967-70 period. John and George clearly were most interested persons of band. George's artistic legacy is now valued more than ever during last 50 years.
George became my fav Beatle after I saw - the concert for Bangladesh👍 it was brilliant. I love George, I ❤️ them all👍🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
George was right not to want Yoko
She wasn't all there!
All jokes aside...she bewitched john.
@@robd1329 oh. Yes. Great way to put it. Full out luciferian now, and Sean. Lennon was a lot of things, but I do not know if he would be down with being out in the open with satanic stuff. That said, she handled him and neutralized him. Mission accomplished.
I think she was there too much.
@@robd1329 I've read that theory before. There was some so called "white magic' involved, consulting charts etc... perhaps it went in a darker direction. By the same token I have met guys who say "my wife and I come as a team. If you don't accept her you don't get me". Witchcraft has nothing to do with it in the cases I've seen.
John was a grown man. He could have stayed with May Pang.
Sad. George looked up to John in their childhood, they both experimented with LSD together & dived headfirst into the psychedelia period of the beatles. George & John stayed in India while Ringo and Paul left. They were close & it's a shame that more isn't known about their last meeting in person. I saw an interview after John's death where George says "I know I'll see him again". ☮️
George is right ❤️🥰
George commented in interviews that they all experimented w/some sorts of drugs during that "period" because as artists were exposed & credited it with influencing their music during same.namaste
I ask you, what would George have been without John? People seem to have forgotten that the Beatles was John's band. It was Stuart Sutcliff who named them. John and Paul were equals as a song writing team, which John was quick to admit. But in Billy Preston's words, John was the boss Beatle, the straw that stirred the drink.
John was no doubt the Boss Beatle, but George also contributed enourmously to the Beatles idiom. He wrote some of the best psychedelic tracks, inserted the Indian music inspiration, brought them to India (an incredibly creative period for the band), and added a layer of philosophical and religious ideas to the mix. He was also a very gifted musician with a distinct style. George would probably have been less famous without John but he would certainly have been a successful musician. He was very dedicated to his craft and also a people person who easily made friends.
@@wilhelmhagberg4897best kind of apprenticeship is spending a lot of time with two of the best songwriters ever I guess.
I was fortunate to see George Harrison during the Concert for Bangladesh tour in Atlanta, Georgia. Man !
He didn’t tour during the Bangladesh years. He toured three years later in 1974.

It seems George was the only one who told John to has face how awful Yoko was, hence John's sulks. Good on ya George!
Yoko was Amazing.............YOKO ONO/PLASTIC ONO BAND is one of the seminal records of the whole 1970s. Its like a mixture of Magma, PIL, the Stooges, Pharaoh Sanders and Van der Graff Generator - all held together with radical feminism, New York chutzpah and Japanese Zen discipline. There's never been an album like it.
@@rbrookswilliams1689 LOL oh stoppit.
@@ysgol3 Yes Sir, Chief. Whatever you say.
It’s crap.
She’s awful
In some ways I think George was the most magical of the Beatles. He was so deep....and it is clear that Lennon noticed. The two appeared before the public to be interviewed about Transcendental meditation. John seemed unsure of himself but George spoke with a calm sense of self. John noticed. He apparently became petty and no one knew how little time left they had.
George wasn't deep. He was naive and gullible.
1978 was the last time they were together, not 1974. George was at the Dakota for dinner, which is probably the occasion George is speaking about in the interview.
This was of course before 'I Me Mine' was published.
John was also mad at George in the mid-70s when he had an affair with Ringo's wife Maureen.
He crossed a line there as did Clapton returning the favor later. Karma....
Welp..daddy mad
John was madly in love with Yoko but it was unfair of him to foist her on the entire world. He should have kept her out of his professional life with the other 3 Beatles.
Yoko could be very pushy.
Yoko is pretty harmless really She was just doing her John Cage impression. Not everyone realizes that Yoko as a young woman was seduced into the cult of Cage, which can produce exactly the laughable fake music that Yoko went out and did. That music was meant to be heard by 50 modern classical music nerds in a small recital hall, not 20,000 people at an arena.
IMO John for his part wanted to make fun of the whole rock scene and put people on edge. He used Yoko for that, and found it funny that her aleatoric musical screams were annoying to the other 3 beatles, George Martin, and the audience at large. Later of course when saddled with a nearly tone deaf wife who still wanted to perform while John no longer found the act amusing he became quite annoyed with her musical efforts.
As to his love for Yoko, I won't question that. They were obviously soul mates. By the same token John wasn't fooling anyone in terms of his deep feelings for Paul as a friend. Those guys were also soul mates. It is possible to have more than one after all.
I guess he should have listened to people like you about how to run HIS life?! 🤣😃😄 Telling other people you don't even KNOW, how they should or should not run their life, is really obnoxious and narcissistic.
@@funshine817 On the whole I agree with that. The only problem I can see is that the beatls aleady had an agreement not to bring wives and girlfriends into the studio. Once Yoko showed up they all brought their wives and girlfriends, so it was stll equal.
I'm not a fan of Yoko the musician/performance artist but i have no problem with Yoko as a person, nor do i question their love as a couple.
@@canalesworks1247 That's refreshing, given how the world seems to hate Yoko so much. I feel bad for her. I also did not like her music, but as a person she seems like everyone else...good traits and bad traits, nothing evil.
Yoko singing is like fingernails across the chalkboard! Singing was not her forte!
Her "forte" was screeching and sounding like a wounded owl!
Yeah I don't think she ever sang- only screeched.
@@Mick_Ts_Chick Wrong, she sings on all her albums and she's a good songwriter.
@@staceykeeley4219 ok, I have never heard her sing, only screech. I guess that's why I never had any interest in listening to more of her. I assumed it would be the same.
She certainly did not belong onstage and performing her thang during a serious concert of actual music.
I don't blame George for not letting Yoko on the stage with John. Nobody wants that. It's a "hill I would have died on" too. It is unfortunate they couldn't remain good friends, but John and Paul should have treated George and Ringo as equal members and not employees.
John needed to keep her solo. He used her as a passive aggressive means to break the group up.
I saw an interview with George when he was commenting on John's death, he lamented that he and John had not seen each other for two years. This mini says their last meeting was in 1974. Someone is is error and I doubt it was George. To be sure, John and George were not on speaking terms on that tragic day in 1980, but it had not been 6 years since the two of them had met.
Blessings to you both ❤️❤️
George's resentment is quite Justified if you know the context.
George was never taken seriously as a musician by John and Paul.
John often made things difficult when they didn't need to be and it certainly didn't help that Yoko was always with him all the time like a poodle in a bag.
Which one was the poodle though 😬
@@corimenning3393 Good Question. 🤨
He was very much well taken as a musician by John.. As in a Lennon iterview with him being good enough to jam with other bands like cream. John was, like I'm not as good as Paul or job in that aspect. Also, John did get of all guitarists, George on his first album....hmmm...its ok as long as it's johns way. John had too many narcissistic tendencies
I don't think George, Paul and Ringo liked Yoko in the studio whike they were recording. She apparently even went to sleep under Paul's piano.
People want to insist the breakup had nothing to do with yoko. I'm glad this is online. Yoko certainly was the reason things ended. Paul has changed his story about that. Yes, they were going in different directions, but the other Beatles couldn't stand her and John said Yoko has to be in the room with him always. Paul has sanitized alot regarding Beatle history. For example, the Beatles initially played the music for strippers, both in England and Hamburg. Paul denies that.
Their fans who were there via media for the breakup knew the truth about Yoko’s part in it. Yes, it true they had all matured and grown in different directions musically, etc. We were all very sad about the breakup but it was inevitable under the circumstances.
@@themermaidstale5008 sure was. Under the circumstances? Having some woman think she's the 5th Beatle? . She used devil's breath for 50 Bob.
Yoko was the scapegoat for hundreds of thousands of people who were PISSED and disappointed that The Beatles broke up. They acted like The Beatles OWED them to stay together forever! What a bunch of narcissistic, self entitled losers. Be effing grateful The Beatles ever even existed, and have some empathy towards what Yoko had to endure with everyone hating her.
You’re giving her too much credit. They weren’t touring, Brian Epstein was dead, apple was failing, Allen Klein was slithering his way into the mix, John was using heroin, and Paul was acting as default leader which no one appointed. Yoko added to the tension, but they were on their way out regardless
one of the reasons Paul has changed toward Yoko is because she controls 1/4 of the beatles and he has to work with her. she has made it clear that she will not cooperate otherwise.
Well, everyone loved Ringo so there’s that.
Lennon was in a Sick Co-Dependent Relationship with Yoko.... it over shadowed everything... including the Beatles !
A drug laced relationship
Yup
If yoko was a good person then she would of stayed home because she wasn't invited. I hate to say this and it breaks my heart but John acts like he don't have control of his mind . No one knows what happened to John Lennon in the clutches of yoko
She had convinced a very vulnerable man to leave his wife and child and live with her. She was a self-centered narcissist who thought nothing about what she did not only to the group but also to John’s first wife and their son. But as John so eloquently said instant karma is gonna get you. Yoko has much to answer for.
You are right. She was a manipulator who recognized John's vulnerabilities and took full advantage.
Like Lennon a lot but he had an ego the size of England. He was passive aggressive when Paul's leadership emerged in later years, and indifferent as George became a song writing peer.
I’m literally laughing out loud because I’m a Lennon-obsessive and everything you said is true. But Lennon’s musical output from 1962 through 1972 was so spectacular, I tend to forgive him for being such a prick.
@@satorified1612I love John a great deal but as far as a writing sense after 71 George was wayyyyy better songwriter it’s just facts
@@satorified1612I still think Lennon is the greatest songwriter to ever live tho. So take that as you will
@@joemartin35541 I don’t have an issue with that statement. But artistically speaking, the quality and consistency of Lennon’s output with the Fabs was mind boggling. (I’m more partial to his psychedelic faze, but his rock and folk stuff is awesome as well.)
@@satorified1612 yea Lennon 65-71 is god like best writer to ever live
So now can you tell us about When George Harrison met John Lennon for the final time?
Can't verify the veracity of all the specifics, but no doubt they had their ups and downs, like many long lasting relationships.
I think the best example of the George /John relationship problems is when J&Y attended one of George’s ”Dark Horse” concerts. George did a cover of ”In My Life” to which he had added some rather silly Hare Krishna lyrics. John got furious, and later backstage he scoulded George along the lines of ”Don’t you ever sing one of my and Paul’s songs again”. George was devastated, of course. As the narcissist John was he couldn’t see George’s performance for what it was: a sweet tribute to his old bandmate. Instead he reacted as if George stole something from him. This was when George had his moment in the sun and was massively popular after the Bangladesh concert. It seems John just couldn’t let him have that.
You really dislike John. You are making massive assumptions. You have no idea what John and George's relationship was like, cuz...YOU WERE NOT THERE! George hating on Yoko was hardly kind and loving and it showed him to be a holier than thou, self righteous, hypocrite, as he tried to come off as some spiritual, peace loving, wise man, who had an affair with Ringo's wife.
He saw through George's passive aggression. Making a joke of his song by inserting Hare Krishna gibberish, which failed on two levels. Nobody went to hear George proselytizing for his religion, Hare Krishna. That was insulting. It was bad enough he corrupted his own songs with it. George was a virtue signaler and John wasn't.
To the OP - your epic conjecture is palpable. Go try something else.
@@funshine817 In fact I love John dearly. But I also consider him a troubled person who’s inner demons often led him to misinterpret and/or mistreat those around him. As for ”having no idea”, need I remind you there are endless lengthy interviews with both John and George (and their girlfriends and grandmothers) that document their lives and lets us into their way of thinking and their relationships?
@@wilhelmhagberg4897 We all are troubled in some way or another. We all do things we wish we hadn't, but I still disagree with your original comment, specifically about what George did or did not do. In that case, I am on John's side. Also, what endless interviews explained what John and George...not third party opinions, thought about what happened? No one really knows but John and George, and even they have their own opinions about each other which may or may not be accurate. You are putting all the blame on John, which is very unfair.
Doesnt surprise me, they were alot alike but worlds apart really. Its evidenced by how they tried to talk but couldnt come to an agreement really. They wanted to make it work but it was more of a headache because they had become grown ups and more independent, two way different paths. John has always been my favorite and I still agree with him (not saying I dont agree with the others) When you set out to create a rock n roll group and your friends start trying to take it over... for better or worse it is annoying. Although Paul and George's choices were amazing and revolutionary. It must have sucked to change the style you wanted or play second fiddle to Paul dominating the group towards the end, when all you want to do is rock n roll. Ego (ablaze), even though the work and concepts would be great... like the Indian stuff and Pauls ideas... I would hate that my band was changed and I had to play second fiddle ... Once I had already written us to glory and the top of the charts. It would be like starting an american football team... and you win and make millions then they make you the kicker and talk about Paul at quarterback. Not everyone can just let their creation drift towards bandmates that they saw as only friends and mates.
To me it would make sense to tell them to just make their own CD in that case. Creative people like Harrison or Paul or John cant be boxed in and just play backup forever. They want to create their own ideas with a voice. So in a sense just like George was neglected and held back... they all really held eachother back in ways. Making solo albums before Paul crashed the plane and then agreeing to do Beatles compilation albums every 3-4 years would have been the way. But they burned out and fought for a voice all at once and way too late. And like I said in the first paragraph... all 4 men were on a different path and wanted different results. It was lucky it was meant to work in the first place really. Growing apart into their own independence was actually their greatest success on this planet. Mission Accomplished
I agree with your analyzis that John found it difficult to loose control over the group as the others grew musically. But I’m not sure he was 100% commited to the rock’n’roll style per se, after all he wrote many of the more experimental and non traditional tracks.
John made choices and one of those choices was choosing yoko over the band. Yoko wanted full control; it was not about John playing 2nd fiddle to Paul, it was the choices John had made. 😢
Much has been written about John and Paul's falling out after the Beatles break up. But less has been said about both Georges falling out with John and Paul up till 1980.
I know John insisted on having Yoko with him at all times and I have nothing but respect and admiration for John Lennon. I just think it would've been big of Yoko to say "No" to some of these situations. I've always been particularly uncomfortable with some of the later-day Beatles photos with Yoko right there in the middle. Couldn't she have just told John, "I'm not a part of this group. You go ahead without me". I would've felt the same way if it had been any other Beatle insisting that their particular partner was in a Beatles only photo. But alas, it's none of my business.
Yoko, I truly believe, was johns handler. The rest could not stand the situation. Comments in magazines during that time was that Lennon changed profoundly . " I don't know him anymore" was the comment. She was his handler.
Yoko was too threatened and insecure to let John go anywhere without her.
Shocked............................................................................................and stunned.
In other words they were just human.
george had every right to invite who he wanted to his "concert for bangladesh". he also had every right to perform "in my life". i love both of those guys and "all those years ago" sums up how george really felt about someone he never imagined would be senselessly murdered. people hold grudges no matter how iconic they are.
Don’t expect anything rational from artists like John and even Yoko. George was a fabulous person, intelligent, with a great sense of humour. And a wonderful musician in his own right. Forget all these fairy tales, they are meaningless.
That's a bit harsh AND an exaggeration. Both former Beatles could be wonderful or moody. No one is either this or that. We all overlap traits.
I consider John Lennon & George Harrison to be the real thinkers of the Beatles. The first political song of the Beatles was Taxman, by GH. John, as an artist in many fields including politics, sketching, music, & every other aspect of art, was always around strong women(his mother, Julia, his Aunt Mimi, & Yoko). She attracted him to her avant-garde artwork & John wanted to get back to art projects. The money that John & George made was not the answer to them. They were looking for something that gave them inner peace, hence the trip to India where they both stuck around while Paul & Ringo left early.
As far as George's artistic output, he was also involved with the industry. He produced many award winning films under the pseudonym, Handmade Films. And, he helped the world discover Eastern religion, philosophy, & music. I'm not taking any jabs at any of the Beatles, Paul was a tunesmith beyond compare(I Will is my favorite song of all time) & Ringo is a great drummer & I dig his great, funky voice.
George was just as moody and cynical and human as John or any one else was?? They were good friends who are you to comment on their lives?
You do realise George wasn't a saint, right?! He had an affair with Ringo's wife.
OF COURSE, WHERE ELSE WOULD THEY BE?♥
I think George expected some things from John after the breakup and never really got it. For example the Bangladesh concert where John chose yoko over him. Don’t know but it’s a shame.
I think George carried his grudges too long, and he really shocked me when he recalled being woken up to hear of Johns Murder, then went back to sleep, as if someones pet dog had been run over.Instead of voicing his grudges and opinions at the time it happened, he carried it for years and sniped at the other's via the media.
It would be easy to criticize one or the other, but these boys grew up and their priorities changed as they inevitably do.
There is a lot we don’t know. We do know that John had a lot of anger towards George for sleeping with Ringo’s wife.
I just think the jealousy for John is like “hey, I was the Beatle, this was my band. You got to be the guitar player. You got to see me go through the crap that comes with being the guy. You became a wonderful songwriter and could indulge in spirituality for the most part without any of the pain. You got years with the two greatest songwriters of all time like a parasite. So, to not have any perspective and gratitude towards me sucks.”
I could be wrong but I think that is the general vibe.
"We do know that John had a lot of anger towards George for sleeping with Ringo’s wife." That's the kind of spiritual person George really was. Besides the fact he lost interest in Patty because she couldn't have kids. Small person with a lot of hangups but thought he could lead people spiritually. Tried to get everybody into Hinduism but none of them were so gullible as him. Jealous of John and Paul but he should have been grateful because without them he's never have made it. 😢
They were the most individual and inner adventurers, and I think they had a lot of Love and respect; but there was Tension too. That's all!
This tabloid-like video is arbitrary; we could equally make one of how good they were to each other! They were especially close in 1967n and also 1966, when they used to trip and give Derek Taylor and hos wife LSD
❤
There were other iconic members of the Beatles, no?
This video should be titled How much garbage can I fit into 4 minutes.
My two cents: George slighted John whenever given a chance. His public response to John’s murder was shameful.
can you elaborate on both points
He did not. He loved and admired John to a fault. His response to John’s death was fine and in line with his religious beliefs - to him John wasn’t really gone.
Bitter little George. He resented John and Paul so much because they were responsible for his success.
George knew that Yoko was no good.
Good thing the Lennons did not attend the Concert For Bangladesh.
The howling black crow would have ruined that masterpiece of a concert.
"Masterpiece of a concert". Hardly. Way down the list. 🙄
Bowie is "thin" 😆
0:14 The infamous episode of the plastic fork in the house of millionaire John Lennon... 🤨🍴
"John Lennon and George Harrison were two of the most iconic members of the Beatles." Yes. Out of 4 people they were two of the most iconic. Oy!
If you don’t count McCartney than sure George
Let’s rewrite history
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr were three of the most iconic members of the Beatles.
I love George and all the other Beatles but let's be honest, George was good at alienating people and taking offense at perceived slights. With a prickly personality like his, it's unfortunate but unsurprising John drifted away from contact.
John and George “two of the most iconic” Beatles? Hmm. Two of the least iconic as well.
It seemed that George always resented Paul, but it came as a surprise when I learned that it was John that he really hated. George could be such an ingrate sometimes. He wasn't left out by John and Paul. He simply wasn't anywhere near their level. Of all the Beatles he was the luckiest to have connected with the others. No doubt that John and George were the most unpleasant of the group. Ringo no doubt the least selfish and nicest Beatle. Paul could be a bit full of himself but he has made great efforts to correct his mistakes from the past, make peace, and promote the legacy in a positive light.
Yoko was John's handler.
I've always suspected that George was put off by John's heroin use and they had too much class to air it publicly. I can't find the quote but it may have been around the time of the Dark Horse tour that George compared getting into religion with heroin and that if other people aren't into it they won't be able to relate. Was he alluding to John?
george pissed john off in the studio on an album when he told john what he thought of yoko then again on the bangladesh concert deal again paul sugarcoated yoko to john good ole ringo never said much
The irony of AI talking about, arguably, the most creative band ever.
And the new song is 🐂 💩
Such a silly UA-cam video. No sources no attribution. Just gossip and speculation. Sad
More insights from somebody else who knows fuck all about anything.
The Bangladesh story is totally opposite of what ive heard. George did not any of the three as he didnt want to turn it into a Beatles reunion. Ringo insisted on being there
I heard differently, what I’ve always heard was that the other three were all invited but they would play with the other artists and not as the Beatles. Paul didn’t show as he stipulated that the other three would drop their lawsuit against him. John didn’t show as George said when asked what would Yoko do he replied, “Sit in the audience and have a lovely time.”
Who know what was true, but that what I heard.
George DID invite the other three to perform there. FACT. John declined when he realized that Yoko was not invited to play on stage. FACT. Paul said no from the start. He felt what was the point of reuniting with the others as they had just spilt up. FACT. The video makes the error of saying that he had too many demands. He had no demands. FACT.
Couldn't understand anything the whole video was a mumble.
"...two of the most iconic members of the Beatles" what a stupid statement.
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr were three of the most iconic members of the Beatles.
Poor
“Two of the most ICONIC members of the Beatles.” !!?!??
What is it with that word? It is so overused (and never used properly) that it has become meaningless. But in this use, it’s just embarrassingly silly.
Dare I say “ICONICALLY silly.”
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr were three of the most iconic members of the Beatles.
So yeah, once again Yoko the Ogress turned everything to shit - so what else’s new?
So the spiritual Beatle doing a relief concert told John to not bring his wife. Not very enlightening.
Yoko is not a bad person, but sometimes she suck. I don’t hate her
Paul’s interview the day after the murder is very suspicious to me. He doesn’t seem to be sad or grieving in the slightest. Chewing gum and being very casual, he describes the murder as a “real drag”. And even says it as a question, not a statement of his own feelings.
He says; “It’s a real drag. Isn’t it?” Then walks away. Not what I would have expected him to say, but after all, I’m honestly not convinced that guy is even the real McCartney anyway.
Which might put his words and actions into the proper perspective.
lol
You're delusional. He has discussed his remorse at his response since 1980. Wake up and read the interviews.
Paul was in deep shock. He was under pressure to say something to the press. How on earth can you put into words what he was going through
He was his best friend not his wife. Im sure he was in shock and had to be the voice in public and in private cried.
@@pslpom He so wasn’t in deep shock. Get real. He was super casual about the murder and this was the following day. The fans were in deep shock. McCartney was 100% apathetic. He wasn’t going through anything.
They all loved each other. They we're brothers. Family and we've call fell out so wot still brothers. Heart wrenching stuff

Interesting. Yoko stalked him. I think it was on purpose. A handler.
She targeted Paul first but he wasn't having that skanky grifter and didn't have the emotional neediness but then she saw John, and the predator instinct kicked in.
Sorry bro, not a very good narration. Next time pay somebody $25 to do it for you.
Paul and Ring aren't Iconic???
they are both mightily iconic and don't deserve having people wholly not their equals discussing how they handled the murder of john lennon! as much as i love elvis, the beatles were undoubtedly a match for him. one of them wasn't a match for a christian with a handgun who'd signed a record for said murderer earlier in the day.

@@canalesworks1247 absolutely. we don't disagree then.
George Harrison was a better guitarist than John Lennon. but he didn't get the recognition that he should have. and it finally came a time when George Harrison had to speak up about it and John Lennon didn't care for that much, and after that their relationship was strained. I think George Harrison would have eventually tried to make amends with John Lennon. but unfortunately he was assassinated causing that to never happen. and I don't blame George Harrison for having to finally speak up. because each one of the members of the group should have had equal presents in the Beatles.
George was always thought of as a better guitarist than John. It's John who doesn't get enough credit for being a brutally tight rhythm guitarist and being able to get off some pretty damn good solos when he wanted to.
The unmentionable killer nerd destroyed a lot of things when he murdered Lennon he was getting along with Paul, he had just put out a reasonably good come back album, and he seemed to be on an even enough keel to push for a reunion.
If he had lived I'll bet they would have united at Live Aid. That kind of event would have excited George. I could picture them doing the oldies, John doing Twist and Shout, Paul doing Long Tall Sally, George on Roll Over Beethoven and then their hardest original rockers from the touring years: You Can't Do That, I Saw Her Standing There, Can't By Me Love, Help, Ticket To Ride...throw in a couple of bad ass George numbers that play well live and you've got a cosmic concert.

AUDIO IS HORRIBLE !
The beatles were forever trying to dethroned the king elvis from his pedestal, the king was not amused and he kept his throne till the bitter end, you could say Elvis perished in the throne room. Without elvis there would be no beatles, they would belittle the king but only because they knew they would never be better than the king, even the four of them together were no match for the king, they at most caused amusement to the king who payed them no mind.
After the breakup, John moved to new york to be closer to the king, so he can continue with his plots to dethrone the king. But John by himself would have no chance in his endeaver, just a insignificant cockroach for the king to step over, a minor nuisance and not much more. George and Ringo made numerous trips to the US in there plots to try and dethrone the king but they were unsuccessful time after time, Paul a realist stayed in london, he knew he was no match for elvis and let him be.
John final words as he was neutralized by one of his crazed fans was "I been shot" , than john sang no more. In his hand he had a pack of unopened marlboro cigarettes he had just bought at the local liquor store, the other hand was a pen he used to sign autographs. A true poet was no more.
