  • When was George Harrison's last encounter with John Lennon?
    The story of the last time George Harrison saw John Lennon.
    After The Beatles split in 1970 with the release of their final album “Let It Be” each Beatle went on to have his own successful and vastly different solo career. The four musicians didn’t saw each other much in the following decade. Because of that, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr saw their bandmate John Lennon only a few times before he was assassinated in 1980.

      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!

    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.

    • @canalesworks1247
      @canalesworks1247 11 місяців тому +2

      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.

      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.

      @wilhelmhagberg4897 10 місяців тому +9

      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.

      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 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 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.

    @ZachChilds Рік тому +19

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
