  • @scottudell7202
    @scottudell7202 4 роки тому +109

    Conflicting artistic viewpoints and ego broke up the Beatles. John and George in particular felt being in the band was restrictive. George was tired of having his songs overlooked by John and Paul. Ringo was tired of Paul's ever-increasing tendency to either coach Ringo's drumming on Paul's songs, or Paul just drumming himself on them and leaving Ringo out. Paul's tendency to take the lead on most projects after Brian Epstein died and try to act as the bandleader was a bone of contention for the other three, especially John. They would have broke up regardless, Yoko coming in when she did was and still is just a convenient scapegoat for those not willing to look into it deeper.

    • @ewest14
      @ewest14 2 роки тому +12

      @@jaiden3473 Yea I am no conspiracy theorist, but Kurt Cobain's death isn't as straightforward as people think. In the months before his death, he was planning to "exit" the music scene except for an indie acoustic project he was working on, and parts of his suicide letter share phrasing and sentences with the letter he wrote about leaving the music scene. Also, there is the amount of heroin he had in him before being shot, which even for a highly opiate tolerant person would have pretty much instantly debilitated him.
      Not to mention he and Courtney were very openly having issues, estate matters and whatnot. Personally, Im not ready to say Courtney DID have an active hand in his death, but I think there is enough oddities around the circumstance that isnt exactly "unfair" to question it.

      -Paul was assuming a great deal of control, which was necessary, but John kinda resented that
      -Paul and John rejected a lot of George's compositions, and he felt really tossed aside and not that important (there are songs by him about this issue) and he felt REALLY stressed during the last times of the band (Wah-Wah)
      -All four of them had different ambitions by 1969 (Paul wanted to do more pop oriented music, Ringo started an acting carreer) For the context of the band, most of this differences were irreconciliables.
      -EDIT: The FUCKING FINANCIAL PROBLEMS the band was having was one of the main sources of stress, moreso than Yoko.
      When you look at all the differences and problems within the band, Yoko was really the most superficial of all.

    I think if you heavily generalize the "moods" of pop music into "happy" and "sad", then they go back and forth all the time. Between 2004 and 2014 (by my best reckoning, I don't follow pop all that closely) pop music was generally happy and most popular songs had the "party tonight because tomorrow doesn't matter" vibe to them (for example: Give Me Everything, Till the World Ends, Party Rock Anthem). And while it's not necessarily dominating the charts, sad music is quickly becoming mainstream. Take, for example, the success of artists like Lil Peep, $uicideBoy$, and XXXTentacion in recent years. Years ago, the topics they touch on (suicide, depression, loneliness) wouldn't be considered appropriate for a mainstream audience, but here we are.
    It's almost like all that partying led to a Great Depression within music

And he provides negative feedback on each song, rarely any support. Then one day the woman quits the band and starts making music with the guitarist. Fans of the pop group are heart broken and assume that the man had an agenda all along to further his own career by stealing the woman away from her pop group.

      When they eventually found out, not only had Klein been funneling funds from them, he also done it to the Stones, while retaining the rights to every Stones song recorded through Let It Bleed. Which led to a lengthy legal battle
      Imagine what kind of contract McCartney was under, Yoko Ono wasn't managing their funds, the only way a girlfriend breaks up a band, is by sleeping with the other members, the Yoko myth is too simple.

They grew apart and had other artistic endeavors they were more interested in. It's far better than them making more albums when their hearts weren't in it.

    Phil Collins wanted nothing to do with singing post-Gabriel departure. They tried a million singers before feeling that nobody could do the music justice, and he fell ass backwards into it. Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford were the ones who grew tired of prog and just wanted to make pop tunes, and I feel they sneakily pushed him into Gabriel’s shoes. Phil was an amazing drummer with prog rock/jazz fusion side projects, highlighting the fact that he just wanted to stay behind the kit. I don’t think he knew the whole time that he was a songwriter for the ages, rather he embraced it after reluctantly stepping into the spotlight. He didn’t even sing until Genesis’ sixth album.

      Its also kinda ironic that he says he hates that song right after praising the Beatles.. It wasnt written by the Beatles but Paul who helped write a majority of their music.

      I was bummed out because I kinda like that song. But it also is annoying depending on what mood I'm in.

    That Flat Earth B.O.B. take was so accurate- if Kanye, for example, announced that he believed the world was flat, I doubt he'd be the next B.O.B. He's said some contentious things too and still has a rock solid fan base because he knows how to stay relevant.

    It sounded like you were playing a slower version of the bass intro to the theme of Honey Speedway from Spyro: Year of the Dragon.

    I remember loving that "Magic" song B.O.B. did with Weezer when I was like 21. Listened to it again the other day. My god is it terrible

    I feel the Yoko myth is more because it's 'common knowledge' like an ostrich supposedly burying its head in the sand than any kind of latent or overt sexism. Most people just believe the thing they first heard.

      Thoritorium the rumor didn’t come out of nowhere though, the origins definitely had at least a tint of sexism

      Also, let’s not forget the racism. Being a Japanese woman being involved with “breaking up” a white Anglo-Irish group of men would certainly bring up some WWII propaganda.

    What's funny is Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmas Time is one of my favorite Christmas songs. My underrated favorite is John Lennon's Happy XMas (The War is Over).
