♩I got everything that you want
Like this video made for you
just watch and see about Brian Epstein
With Love From Me To You! ♩
...love your stuff dude, that does need work though😂😂
I want a video about" tomorrow never knows"
You prolly dont care but if you're bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all the new movies on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my brother for the last days xD
@Julio Quinn yea, have been watching on Instaflixxer for since november myself :D
BS
When the guy told Brian Epstein that he wouldn’t know them “The Beatles” it just sounded like he came from the future lol idk it gave that vibe
I think it’s more how the narrator says it. If you say it out loud, it usually sounds much more natural.
Lewisohn also makes note that most people's reaction to their name was very negative. It's only now that it's seen a "normal". But in that period every band was a pirate or the weather, not a play on words on Buddy Holly's band
Rest In Peace Brian. It’s terrible how many great people are taken from this world by drugs. Such kind innocent people who had the potential to do so much more than they had the time to do. Brian is one of those people who truly deserves the title of “the fifth beatle” 💙
Let’s just turn drugs into some kind of anthropomorphic murderer so people don’t have to take responsibility for their own actions.
Him, Jimmi Hendrix, Keith Moon.....it's so frustrating. I'm no straight arrow, and I understand that these guys lived in a time when these drugs were new and their level of danger not understood (people have compared it to children playing with a loaded gun). But it's still so frustrating.
A bit of feedback for you:
As it’s cold where I am, I’ve been throwing on your videos and stuffing my phone in my pocket instead of watching, so have been listening instead.
The way you pace your dialogue is perfect, and the lack of a countdown on the voiceover makes for a really cohesive and flowing narrative - as opposed to it feeling bullet pointed.
Keep up the excellent work!!
I always thought it was interesting that Brian Epstein and George Martin didn’t think the Beatles were particularly great musically but thought they were very charming
Nonsense , have you heard their first American record with the Beatles? Them having all 5 songs on the top five with their first album? How could you say they weren’t that great musically?
God rest his soul. Brian seemed like a cool guy
That's a great short little mini-documentary on Brian Epstein. I'm teaching a class on The Beatles, and it really helped me to listen to your video and touch up on some of my facts. It sounds like you really did your research and your use of photos, quotes, and video clips was great. Thank you for putting this short together.
I think beatles would never broke up if Brian was still alive.. 😍😍 rip
Also he wouldn't have allowed Yoko
The 5fh Beatle was George Martin.
@fjf sjdnx No, George Martin helped with the music, Epstein was involved with the business side of things.
this is out of order
Without Epstein. They didn't meet George Martin
I thought the fifth Beatle was Stu Sutcliffe...🤔
Thank you for this video! I barely knew anything about Brian.
The Beatles would be nothing without him !
Doubtful. The Beatles were something before him and something after him.
@@bookashkin They were a band playing for small clubs before him ,and they were able to have a successful solo career because of him !
@@leandrosvarvarousis3383 They were a band that already recorded professionally for Bert Kaempfert before him. Brian's only accomplishment (if you call it that) was putting them in suits and convincing them to stop swearing on stage. After that he had no clue.
Brian probably changed music history for all time, much more important than. George martin
The Beatles would’ve been fine without him , if not Brian someone else would’ve come along
Excellent mini-doc.
Brian & George Martin were both 5th Beatles. The Beatles needed both, George musically & Brian visually & getting them out there, suits, that bow which won over parents. Without either of them then the Beatles wouldn't have made the impact they did.
I think George Martin is the fifth beatle?
The Beatles themselves regarded Neil Aspinall as the fifth Beatle. I think though both Martin and Epstein could also claim the title!!
Pete Best is the fifth beatle
The thing with The Beatles; they were the first for almost everything.. People make a big deal, how Brian messed up the merchandising.. That was not common then, not for bands.. When they stopped touring, they made videos to go with the songs. That became the standard later. The big business of baseball stadiums started with the Beatles. Sound systems, called PA's in those days were usually line one hundred watts. At the time they were only for voices, did not have a great frequency response.
As the audiences got larger. Every instrument had to be miked. Then a 2nd mixing system had to be set up for the band, because they were surrounded by amps blasting out guitar, bass, keyboards, etc. Sound travels at 600 mph.. In a very large set up that meant, more speakers were setup. The further into the audience these speakers were placed, the longer time it took to hear the sound, so sets of speakers had to have digital delays in them so some one 1000 feet from the band would hear all the speakers exactly at the same time, instead of overlapping waves of sound, turning the music in a mash of sound.
Lexicon Audio in Boston, created the first Digital delays for sound systems,
Further to my last... forgot to mention.. it was from Hessy's that I purchased my first accoustic guitar back in the late 60's.. a Yamaha FG140 (red label) I still have it and would never part with it... I can remember looking up at it hanging in line with other guitars and it being the only one I could afford... £47 if I remember correctly :-)
What a treasure. I'm going to guess it's a full solid body guitar with Rosewood or Mahagony back and side. Yes, never part with musical instruments. If you don't play it then just loosen the strings.
Hey maybe that 1 penny was the the deal breaker that gave them the exposure they needed
If your'e from Liverpool (as I am) it is known as 'NEMS' not N.E.M.S. A small point I know.. went there many times in my youth.. and just across the road was 'Hessey's' music instrument store, quite a small store, but where everyone who played an instrument went.. including the Beatles :-)
Can you please do a video about the beatles early days
I think Epstine did turn the Beatles into a boy band during 62, 63 and they broke out of those suites by late 64.
That would be 22.43 pence is 2019
Albert Grossman managed a bunch of acts and got a cut of the action from song writing royalties, record sales, concert promotion for each act. Grossman owned a coffee shop in Chicago the only link missing was The Birds.
Missed opportunity to say "across the universe" at the end.
Very interesting! Thank you!
Great video keep up the amazing work
Enjoy watching the film clips of Brian nodding his head to the rhythm of the Beatles' beat.😊
For a middle class, professional Englishman of that era, there is a LOT of intense emotion communicated through those self-disciplined, almost visibly imperceptible, bodily gestures❤🎉
The black leather look isn’t a teddy boy look. The teddy boys wore Edwardian style clothes with brothel creeper shoes. The early Beatles in leather look is more of a rocker look based on the biker image.
George Martin is the true 5th Beatle. Brian was critical as their manager
I did like this video a lot . And thank you for saying his name right lol just great !!!!!
Customer to Brian: "It's by a group called The Beatles".
*And so it began...*
Brian Epstein was the Kal-El of the Beatles . George Martin was the Ironman of the Beatles.
I still gotta say that George Martin will always be the fifth beatle when it comes to their actual discography, but who knows if The Beatles would ever have the chance to work with him if Brian didn't get them there first. I think the Beatles ultimately would have had some success without Epstein, but they would not have been the global phenomenon they came to be, maybe just that hit band that dominated 64 and faded away soon after.
He seems like a really pleasant man I would have loved to have a conversation with him
This is a great series!
Thank you!
Make a video on Stuart Sutcliffe
2:56 - A nice dedication to Brian. However, you say that 'Brian died of an overdose' and you don't explain what substances were involved.I remember Paul saying that Brian overdosed with pills, combined with alcohol, because he was taking too much of it at the time. 'At the statutory inquest his death was officially ruled an accident, caused by a gradual buildup of Carbitral combined with alcohol in his system.[146] It was revealed that he had taken six Carbitral pills in order to sleep, which was probably normal for him, but in combination with alcohol they reduced his tolerance'. (Wikipedia)
Suits were part of the early image? You do realize that they wore the suits on stage until 1966 the end of their touring days. After 1966 there’s only a little more than three years of the group left
He managed so many other groups and singers too… I doubt there would have been a “British Invasion” without him …
He was a genius! sad his life was cut short
Brian thought up the "brown bag money" scheme. This was extra money which venue owners secretly paid in cash to Brian so that the Beatles could avoid taxes.
Very true and he had some problems getting the money out of the venues when abroad.
Your videos are wonderful -- and too short!
It's good to see Paul McCartney had a record before the beatles lol (just joking about the record store pic)
And Johnny Hutchinson went on to...well good for Ringo
Kevin 7 Rxxx 😂😂😂👍......💍Go!✌️
I really enjoyed the graphic novel about Brian. I'd recommend it for anyone here.
Great video! as a Beatlemaniac myself I love your channel but I have to disagree on something, I think George Martin was the 5th Beatle.
Ello from the Philippines!
“My Bonnie” was not a Beatles record per se; they backed a singer named Tony Sheridan, and were credited as the “Beat Brothers”. This was NOT a Beatles single. Disappointed in HollyHobs for not pointing these crucial facts out.
Indeed.
well said,,you get the beatles so spot on mate,,,no dout they got you playing,,me in 1975 age11 with twisted hands
Honestly I have learnt business administration from Brian Epstein. I am glad.
Died 53 years ago today. I wonder what would have happened had George Martin liked Pete Best.
Ten interesting facts about the quarrymen
How does it work if the Beatles dressed as ‘teddy boy’s before they met Brian but then the first time he sees them in the cavern they are dressed in suits (when Brian got them to wear suits)?
Nice video but it’s just NEMS one word not N E M S but other than that great facts 👍
Found the vid!! :)
Yay !
Would love to see you playing the cello one day haha
I don't know why you dont have a million subs.
When Brian Epstein died that was pretty much the beginning of the end of the Beatles.
Wow! Only one penny per album...I would love to hear more about their original record deal and how they renegotiated a better deal...
Although Paul respected Brian's management flair, he wasn't ovelry impressed with his limited business acumen. Still, he was an integral part of the band. Imagine how far they would've gone if Peter Grant has signed them. Look what he did for Led Zeppelin.
I think people will find that the original bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe was the 5th Beatle... John, Paul, George, Pete Best and Stuart Sutcliffe. That's five.
Except that Stu really couldn’t play.
@@jaybee9269 That's neither here nor there. The fact is, he was an original Beatle. His playing level doesn't change that.
We have to admit that Pete Best was a so-so drummer and Ringo was the best drummer in Liverpool at the time. If Sutcliffe had remained in the Beatles, McCartney would not have been the bassist, and he, according to Lennon, one of the best bass players. Most of the techniques are taken from him. Moreover, Sutcliffe left the group of his own free will before his death.
I demand a "Tomorrow Never Knows " video.
imagine if Brian is not died on that time
*I would say that Brian Epstein would be the seventh Beatle, after Stu Sutcliffe and Pete Best, with George Martin being the eighth Beatle. As Epstein was with them before Martin, that's why he's seventh...*
Hi
At first, I was like: "No, not the Beatles, too!" thinking this video was about Jeffrey Epstein. Glad it is not and I just forgot about Brian.
"yellow submarine" was code for the lolita express
@@magik4353 >> Oh, dear.
Not to take anything away from Brian as God knows The Beatles may never have succeeded without him. But I and many others think of George Martin as the fifth Beatle due to his very necessary musical contributions; George Martin was right there in the studio with the Fabs.
That would be a good Jeopardy category: The Fifth Beatle. The Questions are Who is: Pete Best, Brian Epstein, George Martin, Billy Preston, Stuart Sutcliffe and maybe Klaus Voorman.
@@KabobHope Indeed. Most of these have been quoted as the "fifth Beatle" (as was the footballer George Best). But only Brian and Martin can really lay claim to the title - in equal measure IMO.
i had always heard of either stu sutcliff or klaus voormann being called the 5th beatle. but george martin for sure deserved it more than anyone else.
Brian Epstein was a genius! His brother Jefferey tho...
At 4:40 you should have said "across the universe"
maybe, both George Martin and Brian Epstein are the fifth Beatles? loOL
also everytime I see The Beatles in their vERY early days they look like babies, rosy cheeks and all! it’s so cute~!!! ^v^ ✨💖💖💖💖✨
Bet the guy who declined the offer to be their new drummer regrets it the rest of his life.
It's great too cause he didn't kill himself
Bob Klose was the fourth beatle
Imagine being the guy who turned down the chance to be in the Beatles...
there were more fifth Beatles than actual Beatles...
George Martin was the fifth Beatle. Brian was the Beatle Maker. But I guess they both could be the fifth Beatle.. But wait.. there can only be one number five, which means someone would have to be the sixth Beatle. But then it would only be right to include a seventh Beatle like Mal Evans, or even an eith Beatle, or Ninth Bea..
.. Nine... oh no... Nine? Wait what? Number Nine?? Wait a minute?? What? Four thousand holes in Blackburn Lancashire? Four thousandth Beatle? No! What?? Number Nine? The Walrus was Paul? No it was John? Which Means Paul was the actually the Walrus because John said he was even though Paul wasn't really the walrus Because Nothing Is Real, which means that 'nothing' is indeed 'real' which means the hole in Ringo's pocket could only have been fixed by Paul so the rain would stop getting in which explains all those holes in black burn because nothing is beatle proof which raises the question that if nothing is Beatle proof, than how did the holes appear? Possibly because the holes represent 'nothing' and 'nothing' is indeed real?? Wait a minute! We've already been here! Could this be the ninth time? What in the bloody hooligans is going on here?!?! Help! I need somebody! Wont you Please please me and I'll please you! The Fifth Beatle is actually Both George and Brian! I did it! I found the answer! It is actually possible for two to hold this same value as five! Wow! Wait.. where am I... Nowhere man ✌😊
"Brilliant Epstein!"
First first first! As always 😆
Brian had a gay experience with John (blowing) and neither of them could reconcille the experience. Brian had a love for John
Point 2 is actually a fiction, there was no 'Raymond Jones'. He was made up. Brian already who the Beatles were by then.
Pete Best is the fifth Beatle, George Martin is the 5th Beatles, Stuart Suttcliffe is the 5th Beatle. Will you stop using that sobriquet if you can't use it responsibly? No matter how you slice it, Brian Epstein was the SIXTH Beatle, and nobody else has claim tom that. May he and all the departed associated with the Beatles rest in peace.
Brian's financial incompetence was what prompted John, George, and Ringo to hire that gonif Allen Klein to re-negotiate their record contracts with EMI and Capitol. And we all know how that turned out. What hurt even more during the Beatles touring years is that Brian practically gave away rights to all the merchandise. T-shirts, cards, lunchboxes, you name it. Seriously big money.
Spot on. Practically gave away the publishing rights as well.
I gotta say, I do not think Epstein was the greatest manager.
The Beatles ever changing, eclectic, and creative studio music is what made them wildly successful.
The extremely loud/screaming concerts in the beginning made the band think more internally, and write more cerebral songs. And the Beatles were definitely contractually ripped off, I believe.
Did he really die from OD'ing though? I beg to differ.. 👍
I think George Martin is the fifth Beatles
did you know that brian epstein was gay?
And Jewish. And British. Imagine the amount of sass that must've been packed into one person!
Really?
yeah I'd read that
But did he kill himself?
0 dislikes 😱
Spoiler alert bring wasn't the 5th Beatle Billyfaul was & is the 5th
Four or five magicians?
1. he was ga
No, the Beatles fame is - across the universe
If Brian is 5, then George Martin is 6
Brian Epstein wasn’t the fifth beatle. George Martin was.
It's your channel you can do what you want but using Proleter's April Showers in every video is just downright obnoxious.
Polyphonic be like: ua-cam.com/video/oHC1230OpOg/v-deo.html
One penny split between four???? 🤣 Are you joking?
Edits pronounced epsteeeeen
No it wasn't...in the "First US Visit" film, Brian can be clearly heard pronouncing his own name as "Ep-stine", and he should know.
Brian died of an accidental overdose from a mixture of drink with the anti-depressant Paroxetine. Being a homosexual in Britain during that time meant the possibility of prison and most certainly becoming a public pariah. This could have been the death knell for the Beatles had this information [widely known amongst many in the musical circle] been leaked to the press or the general public. As a result Brian was seized with anxiety and depression and sought help from doctors who prescribed the drug. It was instructed to not be taken with any alcohol though many did. He made this mistake and resulted in him dying. His death was also thought for years to have been suicide.
This same miscalculation of mixing wine with anti-depressant medication also caused the death of Nick Drake.
That being said I do agree with the notion that the Beatles would have survived a lot longer had Brian lived. Once they 'signed' with Allen Klein (Paul never actually signed the contract they hold in the picture announcing him as their new manager) the four of them were made to sign a binding contract to only perform together as the Beatles and to never play or perform anything solo that would impede the promotion or sales of Beatle material. This was the real killer in the band; Brian had never even had a written contract with the 'boys' (as he called them) and would never have bound them together as Klein did. This resulted in Paul having to sue to release the LP "McCartney".
It should be said that Brian always shook hands with everyone-even some folks who he thought of as distasteful and nefarious. Music is, after all, that kind of business especially rock-n-roll. He shook hands with everyone...except Allen Klein who once quipped about how lucky that 'fag' was and remarked snidely about his lack of abilities as a manger.
Apple would also have lasted a lot longer and probably would be flourishing today under the helm of Brian since he really knew more about how to manage a store and definitely how and who to delegate. Although it is possible Brian may have talked them out of this venture as well. Who knows?
When a person drugs and drinks himself to death knowingly, yes, it is a suicide. Don’t bother to argue.
It wasn't knowingly Roy. He got himself into a cycle of pills that he ended up awake most of the time. He was a constant worrier as well. And yes you are right, too much drink. All a bad combination.
Relation to Jeffrey Epstein?
