Hay Jude doesnt have drums for the first minute because Ringo was in the bathroom and nobody noticed when they started recording. Ringo slipped in and jumped in.
When Queen recorded "The show must go on", Freddie Mercury, the lead singer, was dying of HIV/AIDS. He was so ill when the song was recorded that Brian May, the guitarist, was concerned whether Freddie was physically capable of singing it or not. But recalling Mercury's performance, May states; "I said, 'Fred, I don't know if this is going to be possible to sing.' And he went, 'I'll fucking do it, darling' - vodka down - and went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal." Which means Freddie Mercuy nailed one of the toughest songs for male singers on his first attempt, even though he was dying. That's "unbeliveble facts in music history" to me!
*Not a single member of the Beatles could read or write music* *Barry Manilow didn't write the song "I write the songs"* *The first (and only) band to play on all seven continents is Metallica.* *In “Bohemian Rhapsody”, Freddie Mercury plays on the very same piano used by Paul McCartney in “Hey Jude”.* *Mozart sold more CDs than Beyoncé in 2016* *There are more people in Monaco’s orchestra than in its army.*
I don’t think most bands can write or read music. And the Beatles didn’t play anything difficult at all they played a few chords so I’m deathly not surprised they couldn’t read music.
Zeppelin wrote Kashmir and Ramble On... Jimmy Page composed the guitar for Rain Song and took Killing Floor/Lemon Song to a whole new level along with Jonsey and Bonzo.
Lynyrd Skynyrd singer Ronnie Van Zant told his father, "Daddy ill never be 30 years old" his father replied, "why are you talking that junk?" Ronnie said, "Thats my limit", Ronnie died in a plane crash at 29 years old.
Actually it was a statement he had made his whole life. In the documentaries involving his best friends from childhood they all said "Wicker" (was his nickname to his childhood friends), would always tell them " I'll never live to see thirty years old." They thought as most kids do that he was just talking shit. Turns out it was prophetic. He called it. Lynyrd Skynyrd was without competition or dispute the greatest Rock-N-Roll band of all American history. They have a catalog of songs that go way past the usual overplayed stuff you hear on the radio, they wrote more classic rock songs than most other bands combined, and Ronnie Van Zant NEVER even wrote one of them down. It was all in his memory, spooky or what? He told Ed KIng, "If it's not worth remembering ,then it's not any good!" when Ed asked him why he didn't write any of his down on paper. R.I.P. Rebel Brother!
Also Waylon Jennings joked "I hope that ol'plane crashes" to Buddy Holly before he and 2 others got on, as he got a bus to the next place where they were meeting. The plane crashed, killing all on board, and Waylon was haunted for the rest of his life.
Our local radio station did a contest in the 90s where they would play Def Leppard songs and you had to figure out if it was when Rick had two arms or one arm lol.
@@schoolboyqsbuckethat8522 He really didn't tune his guitar differently at first. Down a 1/2 was and is still is a common practice and the effect isn't that earth shattering but some prefer the feel n set-up of their instruments that way . Later He began dropping lower n lower fior the more ominous sound until the common setup was around C# (minor third below standard). When Boom out the Blue He opted to go back to the original 1/2 step down in the late 70's leaving Ozzy hanging out to dry as suddenly He's gotta sing all the C# stuff a whole step higher live (there's some very non-pretty live UA-cam clips of that).
How the hell is Mozart transcribing a forbidden song that was 15 minutes long almost perfectly, at age 14 not on this list? the song had 9 different chorus parts, and nmozart had only heard it once, and transcribed it almost note for not. that is supposed to be literally impossible?
Read the title. "Top 10 Underrated ROCK BANDS" not artists, and plus Mozart is taught in elementary schools. What school is going to teach children about Blue Oyster Cult before the age of 10?
It's funny to see that there's no good copy of the guitar. Nobody has succeeded in making a copy of something a 16-year-old made. The Red Special is an incredible instrument. Did you know Brian May doesn't play with plectrums? He prefers coins. Especially the sixpence coins from 1970
KJDJDH Gdhsj you given me an idea im 16 and i build guitars from scratch my blue one on my page i made from scratch thanks for the idea of next project
Anyone who wants to hear THE definitive version of House of the Rising Sun needs to hear it done by Frijid Pink...another glorious one-hit-wonder band. But...my god!! on that song they WAILLLLLLLED!!!!!!
Interesting fact: Michael Jackson never wrote songs on paper. He recorded the singing parts and everything by memory. The songs literally popped up in his head, the songs wrote themselves. He would often sing the instrumental parts as he recorded them before he showed them to the studio musicians.
A lot of his songs were written for him though. Look it up, for example some bloke from northern England wrote Thriller and Off the wall (among others)
While Celine Dion recorded "my heart will go on" on first take, Karen Carpenter did the same thing with the number one hit "superstar" and she was seeing the lyrics for the first time, reading them from a napkin. That is the version on the number one record.
My favorites: 1. Revision of the "Happy Birthday" copyright status: The copyright is no longer valid and the song is now in the public domain. 2. Bohemian Rhapsody. Due to the novelty of the twenty-four-track, two-inch tape recorder at the time, Freddy Mercury produced the "rock opera" segment of the song with so many overdubs, the tape's oxide layer wore so thin, not only did it require extensive use of Dolby A noise reduction, the tape was translucent.
Queen should atleast have an honourable mention for being the only band that has all members individually write Nr1 hits. Its also the only band to have the band aswell as the members individually in the songwriters hall of fame.
Ringo did write songs during his time with The Beatles. If you watch the film Let It Be though you will see that Octopus' Garden was a snippet from Ringo completed by George Harrison and Paul McCartney. Don't Pass Me By sounds much more like Mr. Starkey.
10. Elvis died 2 months before the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash 9. Freddie Mercury recorded The Show Must Go On in one take while drunk and dying 8. Jimi Hendrix was forced to played right handed, as his father was very religious. 7. Tony Iommi's first guitar was a Fender Stratocaster 6. Shawn Crahan is the the only constant Slipknot member 5. Syd Barrett hated Wish You Were Here 4. Leo Fender cannot play guitar 3. Janis Joplin was voted "Ugliest Man" on campus 2. The Clash had a seventh album coming in the 2000's until Joe Strummer's death 1. Brian Jones founded the Rolling Stones
another one, seeing lynyrd up there, Aerosmith were supposed to fly in the plane that crashed with Lynyrd, but they cancelled and sought a new plane after they had concerns of the plane not being up to safety standards. A few years after that, Lynyrd Skynyrd flew in that same exact plane when it crashed
ABBA - Second biggest selling group after The Beatles (Americans may not know this ); 'ABBA GOLD' has reached #1 on the UK charts on five separate occasions over 16 years; ABBA were offered $1 billion dollars to perform a world tour. Not bad for a pop group from Sweden.

cheddarrainbow ive never heard that...that shouldve been on there instead of shit about the 27 club which every person remotely into music knows about or def leppard drummers arm
@@TakerKane29 That was planned. From the beginning, when Dusty an Billy decided to have a Beard and never cut it off, he decided to choose Beard as his artistic Surname and never ever have a Beard. So we cannot take that as a coincidence fact. Too weak for choose it.
Drumming with one arm? That's by far one of the coolest things I have ever heard anyone do. Drumming with two arms efficiently is hard enough, one arm is just super impressive.
I kinda liked Def Leppard to start with. They actually seemed to get the closest to Led Zeppelin, which was, of course, what they were going for. The fact that they stayed by their drummer is simply awesome. Just try and name one band that did that. [I'll be happy to find out]
During recording sessions for The Beatles AKA the White Album, Ringo temporarily left, and Paul had to play drums on Dear Prudence and Back In The USSR.
No One wish there was more about Paul playing drums. Probobley on the newer White Albums out now, but I can’t imagine him playing the whole album, himself, but he did that right after The Beatles broke up, with his first album, McCartney, in I think, 1970.
He left because Paul kept criticizing Ringo's drumming. Ringo's not the world greatest drummer, but he's definitely not bad either. Paul was just being a jerk. Thankfully George and John persuaded Ringo to forgive Paul.
@@ronimydear98 That in fact is an ignorant statement. People who say all Michael would do is make little obnoxious noises, which is simply untrue. He was a multitalented entertainer who could write, dance, and sing overwhelming amazing. He was in the business for over 3 decades and managed to never lose his popularity. This being due to his talent that received the attention of the entirety of Earth. His artistic capabilities are well beyond the vast majority of entertainers of yesterday and today. He wouldn't be able to be as successful as he was, and still is, if he were to fit the description you give him to be. That alone puts into perspective how ignorant your comment sincerely is.
I think the 27 club is a psychological phenomenon. In that when you reach 27 you first start to think that your boundless youth is starting to really fade away. It started with me around then followed by the first couple of weeks turning 30 really being hard! I think it effects people who have a vulnerability to depression. Which these dead Rock stars suffered from...the drug and alcohol abuse being a side-effect of this.
I agree with you. I think young people living hard, once they start turning over to the other side of their twenties their bodies don't take it any more. The abuse an 18 year old can take is more than a 26 year old can take, and I think 27 is just about that magic number that they wear out.
It also, if you believe in such things, corresponds with the astrological phenomenon of "Saturn return"...Saturn rules the dark side, and death, and Saturn returns to the same position in your chart that it was when you were born. So, much like you mention, there is a lot of introspection, perhaps a feeling you have not achieved what you set out to do, etc.
Hey What about Anton Yelchin from the new "Star Trek" movies? He was 27. Did his Jeep psychologically just drift down the driveway and crush him to death? Or how about the greatest Blues Man of all time, Robert Johnson? He was 27 and some bitch poisoned his ass!! There have been a lot of celebs that died at 27. The few in the "27 Club" are pure coincidence.
Damn!......Who put Saturn in charge of death anyway?? I thought that was the Grim Reaper's job!....And wasn't it Darth Vader that was trying to work his way to one day ruling the dark side???
Wasn't Beach Boys - Pet Sounds also done with a 4track, or 2 combined? If I recall correctly, in the 80s Duran Duran held a record of the most tracks, 50+, then came the Eurythmics debut which was recorded on an 8track. 🧸👌🏻🧚🏻♀️🎶
There are no corrections of any kind on Mozart's original written music scores. He never practiced. He didn't need to. It was finished in his head. And how about Beethoven being deaf?
I realize you wrote this a year ago but I'm just seeing this now. He also never had any professional vocal training and his sister said he once sounded like a sheep, so that incredible voice was the result of hard work and dedication. I find that mind boggling
Beyoncé doesn't write her own music Queen B is praised for her music and her looks but every album she has a 11 man team that writes her music for her. This includes chart toppers such as Halo, Crazy in love, Single ladies, and so much more, this did very little to hurt sales however since every Beyoncé album is successful
hello11197 No, that's how songs like Friday get made. (Not that it was sung any better than it was written...>.>) Nope, sometimes it's just better to sing other people's material than to sing your own. At least we know it's _them_ singing it here. Occasionally, in Asian countries, they find a talented singer who isn't quite pretty enough to be a pop star, so they use her voice while an actress becomes the face.
GEhotpants101 No. Singers writing songs is how great bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Nirvana, etc get big. Songs like Friday get written because the writer's shit.
At the same time that the Beatles held the top five spots on the singles charts, they also held the top two spots on the album charts. This was back in the old days, when people actually had to go into a store to buy records.

So that means in like 500 years, assuming her kids keep having kids, there could be billions of people on Earth with a seven octave range. We, as a species, just became better singers because of Mariah Carey. Think THAT one over lol.
while practically on his deathbed, "Mercury was so ill, and could barely walk, when the band recorded the song in 1990, that May had concerns as to whether he was physically capable of singing it. Recalling Mercury's performance, May states; he went in and killed it, completely lacerated that vocal"

Two Unbelievable Music Facts: 1. Michael Jackson had worn a wig since 1984 when pyrotechnic devices accidentally set his hair on fire during the filming of a Pepsi advert, resulting in third degree burns to his scalp, forcing him to wear a wig to hide his baldness. This fact never came out until soon after he died. 2. The Beatles, when they started, didn't know how to write songs so they worked it out themselves.
+SupernerdScrawl It's too easy to laugh at him, do you even know why you don't like him? No disrepect to you, you have the right to not love his music but my point is, the guy has mad talent, he sings and dance well and we can't deny this. Let's just stop being sheeps, he made it and now people are making a big deal about it. But this is only my point of view!
+Salockin I dont like his music, but fair play to the guy...most guys who are pissed at him, are so because he gets to have sex with women and a lifestyle most of us only dream about.
Oh don't worry some music executive will find something that Bowie recorded but had no intention of releasing because it wasn't up to scratch and he didn't like it. They won't care about that though the money grabbing bastards.
A cool fact regarding Roy Orbison: Roy Orbison's sunglasses image happened by accident. He left his regular prescription glasses on a plane when he got to Alabama (I think) for a concert and went on stage with his prescription sunglasses instead. He was embarrassed but someone took pictures of him and used them to promote his UK tour so the image stuck and the rest is history.
After Peter Gabriel left Genesis, the band auditioned 500 singers for their new lead singer not realizing that Phil Collins was already in the band and was actually the last second BEST CHOICE!!!!
Someone has to put an end to this myth that the Greek national anthem has 158 stanzas. That has been repeated by ignorant media (mostly NBC during the Olympics) and it is completely false. The Greek National anthem is made up of just TWO stanzas that are taken from an epic poem called "Hymn to freedom". The poem itself has 158 stanzas but only the first two stanzas make up the Greek National anthem.
How about how David Grohl recording the entire first Foo Fighter album by himself? He did the bass, drums, guitars, and vocals by himself. I find that more interesting than people not wanting to hear Celine Dion in Titanic
A lot of musicians do that, especially these days now that you can buy a $100 8 track recording device. Just as long as you can play multiple instruments which any virtuoso can.
Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Blind Owl Wilson of Canned Heat fame all died at 27 within a month of each other in September/October 1970, and all three were at Woodstock the year before.
+Robert Gadfly Jimi Hendrix was also a hawk on Vietnam - very unusual for a rocker back then. He'd served in the Army as an Airborne Ranger, He was granted an honorable discharge due to injury. He would tell his anti-war fellows in the music industry that they would feel differently if they understood what the Chi-com were really all about.
+Texas3Step Hendrix was not a Ranger. He was a member of the 101st Airborne (back when they were still airborne and not air assault) until injured on a jump, but never a Ranger.
@@bobbysworld281995 well the Archies' Sugar Sugar was the #1 single for 1969 and they were a cartoon band!!! Probably the most addictive pop song ever recorded by the way...
You just stated that he died at 27 and without him there would be no Rolling Stones. They've been without him for 50 years and they did very well in his absence.
Another 27 club member, Ronnie Van Zant, knew he wouldn't make 28. He told everyone he wouldn't. He knew the fateful flight would be his end. It happened very close to his 28th birthday. Toto, known to most only for the son Africa, is technically the most successful band of all time. They're a supergroup of the most sought after session musicians in the industry at the time they got together and a conservative estimate of their total song credits is somewhere over 5000. (Thanks to FactFiend for this one). Elton John struggled with the chorus for Circle of Life. He'd written the whole some but couldn't shake the feeling that there was something missing in the build up. He asked for Andrew Lloyd Webber's thoughts and his suggestion was exactly perfect. The line he gave? "On the path unwinding". I know a few more but they're a little too apocryphal for me to comfortably tout as facts.
cheddarrainbow Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Michael Jackson could read music either. The song's wrote themselves for him. Elvis propably couldn't either, but he didn't write his songs.
+Nico Paré Yeah, Decca records spokesman send Epstein a note stating that "bands with guitars are on their way out. Stick to play in pubs in Liverpool".
Most bands have had that happen, including the biggest artists. It's not always possible to see a future and anyone wanting a deal needs to be lucky enough to find a producer willing to take a risk.
When Pink Floyd was in the studio recording "Shine on You Crazy Diamond", which Roger Waters had written for former band mate-gone-insane, Syd Barrett, Syd showed up at the studio session and nobody recognized him.
Top Unbelievable Fact #11: The movie Amadeus II is scheduled to be released in 2019. Tom Hulce will reprise his role as Mozart, F. Murray Abraham will be Salieri and Arnold Schwarzenegger will be Bach.
Out of all the interesting Beatles facts, you choose a statistic? Yes, it's awesome that they had five songs in the top five on the same week, but it's more impressive they recorded an entire album in a day.
Everybody seems to be under the impression that the narrator is mispronouncing Celine Dion's name. Do these people not realize that the woman is French-Canadian, and that is how her name is pronounced in French?
But (Hey Scotty) Jesus man, a normal French person wouldn't emphasize the pronunciation THAT much. It may from a technical standpoint be correct but it just soumds unnatural.
Elvis Presley, since his manager col. Tom Parker was an Illegal Immigrant from Holland, never played outside the U.S. and Canada. England never had him playing live over there.
sweetsuszie - They didn't say it was his father, it was his manager. And since most musicians aren't willing to go somewhere their manager can't/won't, it's not surprising to hear he'd refuse to go somewhere his manager couldn't go.
I never knew this about him, but it'll be fun to have a new Elvis fact no one in my family knows come the next holiday. My grandpa is obsessed with Elvis and my grandmother loves him, to, and they've spread the love to my cousin (who might as well be my nephew, seeing as I'm 23 years older than the little dude). My cousin even had an Elvis costume when he was a baby, hand made by my mom, and he asked her for a new Elvis costume this year for Halloween.
The sixteen track tape for Gary Numan's 'The Pleasure principal' album was just about to be mixed. It was left next to a magnet and the whole thing was wiped. They had to record the whole album again. Not a lot of people know that!
Django Reinhardt's 3rd and 4th finger on his left (fretting) hand being badly damaged due to a fire. He adjusts how he plays, invents a style of jazz technique and becomes one of the greatest guitarists ever.
The first I ever knew of Elvis being blond was yesterday, when I took a Sporcle quiz and there he was in a photo, age six or so, completely blond. This is one of the best in the Mojo top ten series. I love that the clip of Elvis singing "Your Teddy Bear" was included. I've never seen that clip before.
Here's a fun fact, John Fogerty was sued by some of his former band mates in Creedence Clearwater Revival after he left for a solo career for making songs that sounded too much like CCR songs that he had written and sang.
As a Creedence fan, I can confirm that it was not his band mates, but their record label Fantasy Records. Saul Saentz (the label's owner) sued John Fogerty for copying himself claiming that his old hit "Run Through the Jungle" was too similar compared to his new song "The Old Man Down the Road". John proved him wrong to the court by playing the riffs on his guitar.
Not sure which is more unbelievable. The fact that Wish You Were Here/Comfortably Numb not being on Dark Side, or the fact the they're ignorant of it. :P

I know. Right?
And Comfortably Numb is from The Wall.
I'd say the wall is the better of the two sellers. I'd say it was on the charts longer than dark side as well.
Interesting fact: Michael Jackson never wrote songs on paper. He recorded the singing parts and everything by memory. The songs literally popped up in his head, the songs wrote themselves. He would often sing the instrumental parts as he recorded them before he showed them to the studio musicians.
No wonder he's a good artist.

yes because everyone can pull that off
***** It's way better than the stuff on this list, exceptions being number 10 and 1, because those are interesting :P
A lot of his songs were written for him though. Look it up, for example some bloke from northern England wrote Thriller and Off the wall (among others)
Jimmy Hunter so better than most singers, they dont write shit ( cough cough elvis)
While Celine Dion recorded "my heart will go on" on first take, Karen Carpenter did the same thing with the number one hit "superstar" and she was seeing the lyrics for the first time, reading them from a napkin. That is the version on the number one record.
I Wanna Dance with Somebody by Whitney Houston was also recorded in one take
Beethoven was deaf and still wrote music that beats all those facts
That's a pretty basic fact.. everyone knows that..
It's easy to forget how impressive that fact is, though.

He didn't start off deaf, he "went" deaf. Still crazy tho.
My favorites:
1. Revision of the "Happy Birthday" copyright status: The copyright is no longer valid and the song is now in the public domain.
2. Bohemian Rhapsody. Due to the novelty of the twenty-four-track, two-inch tape recorder at the time, Freddy Mercury produced the "rock opera" segment of the song with so many overdubs, the tape's oxide layer wore so thin, not only did it require extensive use of Dolby A noise reduction, the tape was translucent.
IRJustman Freddie*
You misspelled Freddie.
The bohemian rhapsody anecdote is incorrect. The overdub incident did happen, but it was when they recorded the march of the black queen.
Queen should atleast have an honourable mention for being the only band that has all members individually write Nr1 hits. Its also the only band to have the band aswell as the members individually in the songwriters hall of fame.
Each beetle wrote a #1...in the band and after they broke up...
The Jacksons and The Beatles had all members writing songs as well
+TheOFamily5 Ringo didn't write until after the Beatles broke up.
Not True. Ringo wrote "Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus' Garden". Both Beatles tunes:):)
Ringo did write songs during his time with The Beatles. If you watch the film Let It Be though you will see that Octopus' Garden was a snippet from Ringo completed by George Harrison and Paul McCartney. Don't Pass Me By sounds much more like Mr. Starkey.

I have long admired Def Leppard for their loyalty to their mate.
I kinda liked Def Leppard to start with. They actually seemed to get the closest to Led Zeppelin, which was, of course, what they were going for. The fact that they stayed by their drummer is simply awesome. Just try and name one band that did that. [I'll be happy to find out]

Bill Belzek tell that to the first guitarist
During recording sessions for The Beatles AKA the White Album, Ringo temporarily left, and Paul had to play drums on Dear Prudence and Back In The USSR.
And Paul loved beating the drum kit...
No One wish there was more about Paul playing drums. Probobley on the newer White Albums out now, but I can’t imagine him playing the whole album, himself, but he did that right after The Beatles broke up, with his first album, McCartney, in I think, 1970.
and that is why Paul is the best drummer in the Beatles
He left because Paul kept criticizing Ringo's drumming.
Ringo's not the world greatest drummer, but he's definitely not bad either.
Paul was just being a jerk.
Thankfully George and John persuaded Ringo to forgive Paul.
Michael Jackson couldnt read or play any instrument extremely well, so he used to beatbox songs and thats how he wrote them

This being due to his talent that received the attention of the entirety of Earth. His artistic capabilities are well beyond the vast majority of entertainers of yesterday and today.

I think the 27 club is a psychological phenomenon. In that when you reach 27 you first start to think that your boundless youth is starting to really fade away. It started with me around then followed by the first couple of weeks turning 30 really being hard! I think it effects people who have a vulnerability to depression. Which these dead Rock stars suffered from...the drug and alcohol abuse being a side-effect of this.
I agree with you. I think young people living hard, once they start turning over to the other side of their twenties their bodies don't take it any more. The abuse an 18 year old can take is more than a 26 year old can take, and I think 27 is just about that magic number that they wear out.
It also, if you believe in such things, corresponds with the astrological phenomenon of "Saturn return"...Saturn rules the dark side, and death, and Saturn returns to the same position in your chart that it was when you were born. So, much like you mention, there is a lot of introspection, perhaps a feeling you have not achieved what you set out to do, etc.
Hey What about Anton Yelchin from the new "Star Trek" movies? He was 27. Did his Jeep psychologically just drift down the driveway and crush him to death? Or how about the greatest Blues Man of all time, Robert Johnson? He was 27 and some bitch poisoned his ass!! There have been a lot of celebs that died at 27. The few in the "27 Club" are pure coincidence.
Damn!......Who put Saturn in charge of death anyway?? I thought that was the Grim Reaper's job!....And wasn't it Darth Vader that was trying to work his way to one day ruling the dark side???
MR.X You don't sound like you're 31. Are You sure you're still not talking out of your ass???? Grow up!!

Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones is another member of the "27 Club"

Two Unbelievable Music Facts:
1. Michael Jackson had worn a wig since 1984 when pyrotechnic devices accidentally set his hair on fire during the filming of a Pepsi advert, resulting in third degree burns to his scalp, forcing him to wear a wig to hide his baldness. This fact never came out until soon after he died.
2. The Beatles, when they started, didn't know how to write songs so they worked it out themselves.
Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr. uses the word "the" only twice!
Song two by Blur uses "the" once.
Orion by Metallica uses "the" not at all.
same for Beethoven's 5th symphony
The honorable mentions were the most interesting to me.

Someone has to put an end to this myth that the Greek national anthem has 158 stanzas. That has been repeated by ignorant media (mostly NBC during the Olympics) and it is completely false. The Greek National anthem is made up of just TWO stanzas that are taken from an epic poem called "Hymn to freedom". The poem itself has 158 stanzas but only the first two stanzas make up the Greek National anthem.
How about how David Grohl recording the entire first Foo Fighter album by himself? He did the bass, drums, guitars, and vocals by himself. I find that more interesting than people not wanting to hear Celine Dion in Titanic

When Pink Floyd was in the studio recording "Shine on You Crazy Diamond", which Roger Waters had written for former band mate-gone-insane, Syd Barrett, Syd showed up at the studio session and nobody recognized him.
The photo of him at the studio is out there. A very eerie photo considering what he went through.
I heard Carlos Santana is the only known guitarist to recreate chords Hendrix did, Santana did with great difficulty what Hendrix did with ease.
+StudMuffin Ooooooo, I like that.
***** Yes, we don't know what made Hendrix a freak, but drugs is a distinct possibility.
there are guitarist out there who can play them note for note, with perfect pitch, in one try... somwhere on the internets.
😅
Thanks, I just hear stuff, it doesn't mean it's true it just means I'm too lazy to research it.
Am I the only one who thinks that Amy Whinehouse looks like Janice from Friends?
That makes two of us
Omg wtf you're right...
No
Yes, she does! Wow.
Daniel Barreto Méndez 95 now
Top Unbelievable Fact #11: The movie Amadeus II is scheduled to be released in 2019. Tom Hulce will reprise his role as Mozart, F. Murray Abraham will be Salieri and Arnold Schwarzenegger will be Bach.

+Matthew Everingham Maybe you should buy this channel a copy of The Wall
and Wish You Were Here, as the song of the same name isn't on The Wall either.
>Darkside of the moon
>plays Comfortably Numb
>plays Wish you were here
Out of all the interesting Beatles facts, you choose a statistic? Yes, it's awesome that they had five songs in the top five on the same week, but it's more impressive they recorded an entire album in a day.
Steve Burke Yep. They recorded their first album in a day.
foo fighters did that too
More surprisingly, almost everyone I know knows both of those facts.
Chloe Craig I didn't. The More You Know!
Connor Terrell
Yep and they wrote all 7 songs for their film A hard days night, In 1 week..a song per day.
The Beatles truly were on another level.
Everybody seems to be under the impression that the narrator is mispronouncing Celine Dion's name. Do these people not realize that the woman is French-Canadian, and that is how her name is pronounced in French?
But (Hey Scotty) Jesus man, a normal French person wouldn't emphasize the pronunciation THAT much. It may from a technical standpoint be correct but it just soumds unnatural.
Stetson Graham I'm french, and that's how we say
French Canadian LOL
John Lennon never said they were better than Jesus--he said they were more popular
"Bigger than Jesus" ....
Jesus plays a good tambourine though. Hard to compare. Different instruments. Jesus was not a singer-songwriter. : )) lol
Saz Fretz
I can’t believe people are still getting offended by what John Lennon said, people need to get over it.
they were actually bigger than jesus
jesus was 5'8
every beatle except for ringo was 5'11
That's kinda the same thing...
Elvis Presley, since his manager col. Tom Parker was an Illegal Immigrant from Holland, never played outside the U.S. and Canada. England never had him playing live over there.
CacaoRock Online Radio (cacaorock.com) I'm an Elvis fan, and I did not know this. Thank you for the fact.
CacaoRock Online Radio (cacaorock.com) what dies his father being an immigrant have to do with that?
sweetsuszie - They didn't say it was his father, it was his manager. And since most musicians aren't willing to go somewhere their manager can't/won't, it's not surprising to hear he'd refuse to go somewhere his manager couldn't go.
I never knew this about him, but it'll be fun to have a new Elvis fact no one in my family knows come the next holiday. My grandpa is obsessed with Elvis and my grandmother loves him, to, and they've spread the love to my cousin (who might as well be my nephew, seeing as I'm 23 years older than the little dude). My cousin even had an Elvis costume when he was a baby, hand made by my mom, and he asked her for a new Elvis costume this year for Halloween.
Cassie C colonel Tom Parker was his father.... Google it
I think the copyright on Happy Birthday might be old info. I recall hearing something about the courts overturning that.
Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus still have careers. You should've added that to your list.
The sixteen track tape for Gary Numan's 'The Pleasure principal' album was just about to be mixed. It was left next to a magnet and the whole thing was wiped. They had to record the whole album again.
Not a lot of people know that!
Django Reinhardt's 3rd and 4th finger on his left (fretting) hand being badly damaged due to a fire. He adjusts how he plays, invents a style of jazz technique and becomes one of the greatest guitarists ever.
Django was an absolute legend, should've been on the list.
+Greg Hufton Very much agree.
Aye, such an omission
Inspired Tony Iommi to carry on playing
The first I ever knew of Elvis being blond was yesterday, when I took a Sporcle quiz and there he was in a photo, age six or so, completely blond. This is one of the best in the Mojo top ten series. I love that the clip of Elvis singing "Your Teddy Bear" was included. I've never seen that clip before.
#2 and thats why no one can say that the Beatles suck! ENOUGH SAID!
As of June 28, 2016, Happy Birthday is no longer Copyrighted, and is Public Domain.
Wow the next time I sing 'Happy Birthday' in public I could be sued! ha!
+Philip J B It was only if you got paid to do it.
arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/02/happy-birthday-is-public-domain-former-owner-warnerchapell-to-pay-14m/
+Torben Otten no it isnt. they just cant sure when you sing it in public. in the us anyway
Philip J B yeah its good now
Amazingly Happy Birthday shouldn't have been copyrighted. it's back in the public domain now....free to play.
Trivia : the Mariah Carey song "Sweet fantasy" sampled "Genius of Love", by Tom Tom Club, which was most of Talking Heads (minus David)
Here's a fun fact, John Fogerty was sued by some of his former band mates in Creedence Clearwater Revival after he left for a solo career for making songs that sounded too much like CCR songs that he had written and sang.
As a Creedence fan, I can confirm that it was not his band mates, but their record label Fantasy Records. Saul Saentz (the label's owner) sued John Fogerty for copying himself claiming that his old hit "Run Through the Jungle" was too similar compared to his new song "The Old Man Down the Road". John proved him wrong to the court by playing the riffs on his guitar.
It was his record label.
they also have a video on that if i remember correctly
They actually put this in another video. Top 10 Sound Alike Songs or Top 10 Rip-Off Songs. Something like that.
Yes, I heard him say this in an interview, Very interesting fact, indeed.
Wish you were here/comfortably numb weren't even on 'Dark Side of the Moon'...
I came looking for this. Incredible songs, but not part of the album that is being referenced.
Not sure which is more unbelievable. The fact that Wish You Were Here/Comfortably Numb not being on Dark Side, or the fact the they're ignorant of it. :P
