Yep ! I've thought about it since I was a kid (in the 80's) !!! Even Sir Paul McCartney makes fun of it in the introduction to his Unplugged TV special , saying: I'm going to Rambo...!!!
@ixxifiles5360 Ok, good point on both Jimmy and Gavin. I did look up a few videos on Craig, and yes he would be a great fit. Two others that would be good are Stephen Hill of the Bootleg Beatles, and Fab Four fill in who is coming along and really improving is Robbie Berg. But I do like Craig. First time watching him. Thanks for the heads up. I am a bit older and started following Beatles bands in 1979 with Broadways Beatlemania. I do have friends in some big Beatles bands (The Cast and the Fab Four). Sorry for being bias. Lol
I think it makes sense to have a 5th member covering extra instruments like the tambourine player here. After all, the last live performance by The Beatles had them playing as a 5-piece with Billy Preston on keys - imagine if they decided to carry on and go on a tour. They'd probably have Preston, and it would be silly to tell him to sit out on all the songs pre-Sgt. Peppers or whatever. Maybe he'd play some sick Hammond organ parts instead... although McCartney's keyboardist plays tambourine when he does this song live. I'd honestly like to see an "alternate-reality" Beatles tribute band to be honest... Dress like The Beatles from Abbey Road/Rooftop Concert and play every song as if it's 1970, rather than doing an Ed Sullivan set, then a Shea set, then a Sgt. Pepper's set, etc.
Lennon is perfect. McCartney has the talking down perfectly, and of course, is an actual lefty. He does look a wee bit older and his singing is hit or miss.
Everyone has an opinion. Comments include how the guy playing John looks like John, and that the Paul impersonator doesn't look enough like Paul. But Steven White (Paul) has a beautiful voice, every bit as good as the real Paul, so who cares about looks? Besides, he looks similar to McCartney, has his energy and bass chops, and the Bootleg Beatles are a real rock band.
the john here should join fab four. his face is more closer to lennon than ron.but ron has an amazing voice so theres no question about his face its just that i saw the john lennon here whom surprizingly look like the real thing
Voltaire Lerias So agree. From a distance he looks exactly like him, it's almost scary. I've heard him speak during the show, he sounds exactly like him too.
you know they say you have a double somewhere on this earth .... but that looks just like John ... I hope I don't come across my double ... I'll just run .... :)
He’s spot on. Only someone as clueless as a non musician such as yourself could see there are hundreds of variables inclusion recording equipment, mics, etc. Hundreds of factors to consider numbnuts.
lose the guy with the tambourine, the real beatles didn't have a guy with a tambourine for this song!, that's so silly!!!, it breaks the illusion, it breaks the "suspension of disbelief". the rest is good, they do it with the casinos like the beatles in the budokan shows.
Yeah! I remember Ringo just placed the tambourine over his clapper cymbal in the original tv video back in 1965. Wish the Concert Republic can upload it here.
see imitator johns guitar' thats the yellow blond guitar john had refinished it too blonde .. paul had one too tobacco Browns colors and george has one here might as well throw that in
@alancobain9508 I guess he's lucky, or as the real John Lennon said, He's got a lucky face ! But if you.were walking in the street, and walked pass Adam Hastings, you wouldn't know him, or if it was him. With the wig, side burns, clothes, voice, he becomes John Lennon. He seems to have picked up John's wit, and sense of humour, mannerisms. More so.than any of the other John Lennon impersonator's.
@jeanclaudejaffry94 I totally agree, one does look almost exactly like the real John Lennon, but the other 3 don't look anything like John Lennon! . . .
The Fab Four without a doubt have the best Paul and the best George. Saw them in person and I swear the voices were so similar you could pass them off as the real thing
