R.I.P. John
And to the morons i nthe thread, wtf are you talking about? Why was he a prick? And obviously you don't understand the concept of the bed-ins if you think the point was to just be lazy.
If you think all of this about John Lennon, I can only imagine how horrible you see your favorite rappers.
-
Great artist. RIP.

I love John's music but he was an asshole. He abandoned his first born son and abused his first wife. He apparently beat his second wife on several occasions as well and was kicked out of their house at one point.
-
John was the one that was kicked out lol. He lived in LA during his "lost weekend". Toward the end of his life he was a changed man, according to every account i've ever read. He had started to become more of a role in Julians life, maybe it was too late, but he did what he could to change. Early in his life was he an asshole? Yeah, probably. But later on he changed. You should judge someone based upon how they were more recently than they were earlier on in their lives.
John stood for many great things and impacted the world (for the better) more than any of us could ever hope to. For that I think he should be respected and looked upon in a positive light.

im bumpin imagine as i type this

Great artist. RIP.

i've never heard any of his music OR any beetles music except for maybe 1 or 2 songs but i do have a feeling that i'm missing out on something great. i wanted to know if any of you guys could hook up some albums, articles, interviews, books, etc. about him/the beetles...i would really appreciate it.
Rest In Peace.

You've almost certainly heard more than one or two songs, you just don't realize. I'll hook up a few songs in a couple days.

A little "Best of" the Beatles I put together:
http://s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2KIITGXUC94OZ2W7IS161GLM46
-
^^ curious what you consider their "best" stuff, Iīll d/l that
and John was undoubtedly a great artists and while I think itīs not fair to reduce his character to that of an asshole, there were certainly asshole sides to him and he did a lot of asshole stuff...from starting bar fights to neglecting his son to writing subliminally anti-Semitic lyrics (at least they were viewed upon as such by many serious critics). He might have been changing for the better as he was getting older, but he definitely wasnīt just the shining apostle of peace people tend to make him out to be
-
but he definitely wasnīt just the shining apostle of peace people tend to make him out to be
Of course he wasn't. Nio one is perfect, or even remotely close. John was a pretty complicated guy from what i've read, so who knows what kinda stuff was running through his head when people are thinking hes just being a simple asshole, so its definately not fair to just give him that label.
-
mike jones is a better songwriter
-
Upping. Any feedback on the Best of I posted?
-
^^ Iīll tell you tomorrow. If youīre looking to bump your karma, hereīs a prop :P

sure, there are just a lot of people who donīt know about his asshole side and Johnīs asshole side wasnīt a marginality. But I said it myself, itīs unfair and simplistic to say he was MERELY an asshole as a person

i was talkin to my friend about it the other day and he said the same thing...i've heard yellow submarine and that she loves me song directly by the beetles, but im sure there are songs out there i've heard, im def gna peep the best of u put up, props on that ahead of time
is it true that michael jackson owns a lot of Beetles publishing? i've heard that from a couple places but have never gotten the full scoop.
-
never heard his music but rip
my dad was actually in jail with Mark David Chapman his killer there cells were right next to each other

Basically. And I'm serious. ANYTHING BY THE BEATLES. Anything. It's all quality. Every album is great. Every interview is great. I'm serious, they are not to be fucked with on any level by any other band. Greatest band of all time.

Nowt to cry about lads. He was an amazing artists but a prick of the highest order. Couldn't give two shits if he died then or was a stupid old acid head still knocking about today.
He was a prick in his early years, but even then he wasn't just an all out asshole. He beat his first wife and abandoned their son to get with Yoko Ono. He never beat Yoko, anybody who believes that is crazy.
By 1975 or so he was mellowing out. When Yoko took him back (76?) he spent 4 years at home with his son Sean. He was a totally different guy.
Politically I don't agree with him much, but his ideas had merit, and I think his music has bought one hell of a lot of love to the world, which is of course good. It's a huge tragedy, a dog doesn't deserve to die like that. John never hurt a fly with the exception of his wife and his son, but how many men walking the planet today have done the same thing. I don't think any of them need to die for it. I absolutely cannot stand people like Madonna and Sean Penn and such because of their politics, but I would never want any of them to get hurt or much less shot, that's disgusting.
My personal opinion about John is that God missed him so much he brought him home REALLY EARLY. LOL.
-
here comes the sun is my favorite beatles song. you should check it out.
-
just like anyone else - he is more of a legend because he was taken early.
that's why McCartney hates him - bcoz Lennon is more of a Legend bcoz he is dead.
still tho... R.I.P.
-
Since when does Paul McCartney hate John?
-
Paul loves John and says so everytime he gets a chance.
-
I've got a question for you Trauma. How is that Lennon Anthology box set? Is it worth spending all that money on?
I'm asking you because you know everything in the universe.
-
Not quite everything. I messed up a relationship once. So I don't know that.
It's good. I bought it when it came out, but it was like 70 bucks or something crazy. I really like it, there's 4 discs broken down into time periods... there's this song called "Long Lost John" that's really cool that I sing to myself all the time. It's got versions of "Sweet bird of paradox" and things like that on it. If you're a John Lennon fan you'll of course love it... he had tons of unreleased material.

I find that those were just a few songs I was liking at the time. I mean, next week I could pick 30 different songs.
-

A day in the life, My guitar gently weeps, In my life, Here there and Everywhere, Yesterday, All you need is love, Help! , Penny Lane, strawberry fields forever, And i love her,.....
Which i feel are just like, the best of the best,

Those are definetly are great songs, they're all regular rotations with me.

^^ yeah, itīs some tight tracks you put together, but Iīll have to go with white boy as for my personal favs being pretty different. There were a few among these ("I am the Walrus", "For No One"), but most that I would put on such a compilation you didnīt have:
- A Day in the Life (maybe their best track ever)
- Come Together
- While my Guitar Gently Weeps
- Strawberry Fields Forever (the chord progression is sick as hell)
- Eleanor Rigby
- Help!
- Yesterday
- Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
- Norwegian Wood
...but i can see how itīs terribly difficult to make a Beatles best-of. So props anyways
-
Whats the name of that Beatles song that starts off
'There are places I Remember' ?
-
Whats the name of that Beatles song that starts off

In My Life.

"Here There & Everywhere" i'm convinced is basically Paul's tribute to the Beach Boys. Actually, I think Paul tributed the Beach Boys twice.
First, "Here There & Everywhere" is almost identically from a compositional standpoint to the Beach Boys "You Still Believe In Me". I never noticed it until someone mentioned it... but if you check the recordings, "Pet Sounds" came out, Paul said in an interview that the first time he heard "Pet Sounds" and "You Still Believe in Me", he cried! He thought it was the most beautiful song ever. Shortly after, he went in the studio and recorded "here, There, and Everywhere". The little walk down is the same in the songs, and the way they're both written with a really loose feel of verse/chorus is very similar.
Second, he outright tributed the Beach Boys in "Back in the U.S.S.R." complete with "WHOOO, OOO OOOO OOOH'S" in the background during the second verse and everything.

Isn't a big part of the tribute for Back In The USSR also because the Beach Boys used the music to Chuck Berry's song Back In The USA? Great music, great music.

^yup!
-
nice collection.. thx ..
only a few tracks deep and i recognise so much of this.. but apart from the reaaaaaally obvious can't put a name to songs.. i expect since my folks were fans and their music has been all over brit airwaves since it came out i've had a large exposure to their music
-
You think? They're just the biggest band, ever.
-
incredible music.....im blazed, listenin to Imagine.... :halo:
