Everyone else is going to say this but yes, George was in the Travelling Wilburys. He was also in an obscure little band called the Beatles. He has a lot of MUCH better solo stuff. Try out My Sweet Lord, Give Me Love, What is Life, All Those Years Ago, Got My Mind Set On You, and When We Was Fab,
These guys have been listening to George a ton and never realized it 😂. While my guitar gently weeps, here comes the sun, traveling Wilbury’s. It’s so Georgish to not be recognized though unfortunately.
@@futurereflections4097 that's so true. I cracked up when Amber compared the sound of this song by George Harrison to the sound of The Beatles. I said to my phone "there's a reason for that" 😂
I think George was the underrated Beatle. His songs that he wrote with the group are some of my favorites ("Taxman", "Within You Without You", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Here Comes the Sun" & "Something"). He was a great songwriter & had many hits when he went solo. Also love when he was part of the supergroup "The Traveling Wilburys" with Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan & Tom Petty. Very talented man who left us too soon. At least we have the legacy of his music.
George being the most underrated Beatle isn’t even debatable. Towards the end of the beatles music career, George was clearly on the level of John and Paul at least. The 2 best songs on their last album were written and sang by George.
George Harrison - What is Life - Give me Love - All those Years Ago - Got my mind set on you - Here comes the sun - My sweet Lord Paul McCartney & the Wings - Band on the Run - Uncle Albert - Live and Let Die - Jet - With a little Luck - No more Lonely Nights - Maybe I'm Amazed - Silly Love Songs John Lennon - Woman - Just like/Starting Over - Watching the Wheels - Imagine - So this is Christmas Ringo Starr - Photograph - You're Sixteen - It don't come easy
You've done two George Harrison songs already: "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Here Comes The Sun", but those songs were labeled The Beatles. He also had a part in the Traveling Wilbury song you did.
George was also part of an "unplugged" super-duo with another fabulous singer/songwriter, Paul Simon, on Saturday Night Live. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KEgBMTMUanU.html
@@davidgfisher They watched Band-Aid without recognizing Sting, Bono and Simon Le Bon. Bono is somewhat understandable, they haven't done U2 yet, but they have done The Police and Duran Duran.
@@davidgfisher I went ahead and watched the Here Comes The Sun reaction, and at the end they said it was their favorite Beatles song so far, and they asked each other if the singer was John or Paul, and they couldn't decide. Meanwhile, almost EVERY comment was about George. Naturally, since it's George's song. They obviously didn't look at the comments. It was the same on the While My Guitar Gently Weeps reaction, except they didn't out loud ask if it was John or Paul that time. They probably assumed it was John, since George sounded more John-ish than Paul-ish in it. They weren't trying to know if there were more than two singers. But like the other video, the comments were filled with stuff about George. Apparently, they didn't see that one's comments, either.
For me it's ironically a song that isn't on any studio album. Cheer Down. Though I also love Beware of Darkness and Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll).
You've heard George before in "The End Of The Line" as one of The Traveling Willbury's, and as Beatle George singing "Here Comes The Sun". You might also listen to "My Sweet Lord" "All Things Must Pass" or "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (but the original off The Beatles' "White Album") George is the reason The Traveling Willburys happened at all! First comment!~ I can't believe it!!! Jay, that's a slide for guitar -- often players used to use a broken beer bottle neck.
Yes, George Harrison was in the Traveling Wilburys and The Beatles. His solo career was very underrated and underappreciated. He even got into film, becoming the Executive Producer of the incredibly hilarious Monty Python-inspired movie "Time Bandits" That film includes the tremendously clever catchy tune, "Dream Away" Watch that movie montage video song "Dream Away" and it'll make your day! Cheers!
George Harrison founded the Traveling Wilburys. The whole band was his concept. And he sounds like a Beatle because he was a Beatle., which leads me to strongly suggest his song, Something and While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
I love the innocence of you two and how eager you are to learn about our music from our past. This is George of John , Paul. George and Ringo. The Beatles. He expanded into so many different directions but was always George my favorite Beatle.
Glad you did a George song after seeing him recently in your Traveling Wilburys reaction. George was a class act. If you loved this, you'll adore "My Sweet Lord", "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)", "All Those Years Ago", and "Got My Mind Set On You". My own personal favorite, however, is "Cheer Down".
@@chrislc35 That can be forgiven. They've had a lot of names, a lot of faces, a lot of voices, a whole encyclopedia of information thrown at them in only a few months, too much to possibly absorb it all. Most of us who comment have had a lifetime to do so. In a very real way, it's like setting foot in a new country that you've only seen pictures of.
My personal favorite from his solo career is What is Life. Truthfully, he is simply a great musician from his days with the Beatles and then his sole career, the Traveling Wilburuys, and work he did with other artists.
George Harrison was a Beatle, and aTraveling Wilbury, and a brilliant solo artist. The silver thing is actually called a slide. Yo need to listed to Blow Away by George Harrison
Anyone who listens to rock knows George Harrison, the Beatle who played lead guitar, who infused pop music with eastern motifs, who smashed the charts as a solo artist with hits like "My Sweet Lord", who produced (and headlined) the Concert for Bangladesh, and who is beloved by millions and millions and...
It's almost a little shocking when you come across someone who isn't aware of someone so iconic. But then you step back and understand your point of reference isn't universal
Forever enshrined in Rock History as one of The Beatles. "Something" is maybe the most beloved Beatles song that George wrote. And "My Sweet Lord" is probably his most famous song from his solo work. Both would be great for you to react to.💙☮💙
George Harrison (solo) Suggestions: - All Things Must Pass - Isn’t it A Pity - My Sweet Lord - What is Life - Give Me Love - Got My Mind Set on You - Wah Wah I think he writes songs with a message you 2 both love.
In their defense, they’re learning so much so fast. And George Harrison was the quiet Beatle. Often under-rated. Side note: Eric Clapton swiped his wife - see the song Layla. And yes, he’s a traveling Wilbury. And, my favorite Beatle. Such a humble talent and sweet soul. And, y’all picked up a Beatles vibe.
However for months now we've been telling them about the Beatles and their names. Even on The Traveling Wilburys reaction. All other reactors now the names of the most influential group in the world
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee I don't know if they actually read our comments because I know this happens occasionally. We tell them about the artists, on numerous posts but then I hear this. I could be wrong. I think that reactors should learn the names and become familiar, especially with the supergroups, after all they've been so influential. Also, I don't know how many chose this song because it's not one I would play or am really familiar with
As some have mentioned George was in the Traveling Willburys, and he was also in Band Aid. His song All Those Years Ago was his tribute to John Lennon after his murder. You should definitely listen to that one.
This song was co-written (and produced) by his fellow member of The Traveling Wilburys, the legendary Jeff Lynne. Speaking of Lynne, you're overdue for an ELO song. "Turn to Stone" would be a good one, while "Roll Over Beethoven" is an eight-minute classic rollercoaster of a song. For some heavy violin, you can always go with "Livin' Thing" or "Sweet Talkin' Woman." For something really unique, there's "Rockaria"--combining rock and opera.
They've done 3 E.L.O. songs, two with videos showing the whole band playing and singing, and still failed to recognize Jeff Lynne in the Traveling Wilburys.
@@j.h.3777 At 184k subs, yes they can be expected to have at least an interest in learning the details of what they're doing here. Otherwise, we're suckers investing our time watching them fake bop their heads to our music, while they're secretly hoping for it to hurry up so they can turn it off and listen to some rap.
If you want to fall down the George Harrison "rabbit hole", here are some of my personal favorites (just to list a few). While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Art of Dying (amazing song), All Things Must Pass, Bangla Desh, Beware of Darkness, Brainwashed, Cheer Down, Got my Mind Set on You (version 2), Here Comes the Sun, Isn't It a Pity, P2 Vatican Blues (Last Saturday Night), Sue Me, Sue You Blues, Wah-Wah, What Is Life, When We Was Fab, Wreck of the Hesperus.
The technique George is using with the metal slide on his finger is called slide guitar. George didn't play slide much with the Beatles but incorporated it more in his solo years. One of my favorite solo George songs, which also features slide work, is "All Those Years Ago", a touching tribute to his departed bandmate, John Lennon. For a slide guitar tour de force, listen to "Layla" by Derek and the Dominoes (Eric Clapton and Duane Allman of The Allman Brothers on slide).
It sounds like a Beatles tune because he was a Beatle. This is him solo, and not a favorite tune of his by me. But some people liked it. And yes, he founded the Traveling Wilburys.
George had dozens of great songs. His wit often shows up in songs like Devils Radio, Crackerbox Palace and This Song. His ballads are sensational and his songs like All Things Must Pass and Beware of Darkness are fantastic.
To me, George was the most joyful Beatle. They were all incredibly talented, they all had their problems, and being alive and a teenager when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Variety Show was the kind of luck that no amount of money can buy. :D I grew up with the best music in the world.
"Concert For Bangladesh" will always be in my top 3 picks for best live recordings of all time. George was amazing. I was 5 years old when I got my first Beatle LP. Lol
George was my favorite Beatle. I can always pick out his unique slide guitar style. You should hear "All Those Years Ago", which was his tribute to John Lennon, and "When We Was Fab", which was about his time in the Beatles.
You guys know George was in the Beatles, right? He played guitar and sang lead on some their best songs: While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Something, Here Comes The Sun, and also had a very successful solo career... oh and yes, he was in the The Traveling Wilburys! Such a talented and sweet man! He’ll be always missed!
The Beatles, now you guys have heard Paul, John & George solos. Yes, he's in the Travlin Wilburys too. Listen to, My Sweet Lord by George. You would like Paul McCartney & Wings & more solo, Paul.
George Harrison was one of the Beatles. He was their lead guitarist and wrote and did the vocals on the song "Here Comes The Sun" plus the guitar work. You reacted to that song thinking it was Paul McCartney doing the vocals. He was also a member of the Traveling Wilburys back in 1988.
Well, I think enough people have pointed out George's resume', so I'll go to that silver thing sliding on the guitar, it's called, wait for it... a slide! Hahaha, There are also glass slides, the old blues players took the neck off of a bottle and the bottleneck slide was born! Bonnie Raitt is a superb slide guitarist. Hit up some of her older stuff for some of her best playing, she has a live video on here of "Write me a few of your lines/Kokomo blues/Walkin' blues", a real nice medley, awesome playing! Peace!
Yes, George Harrison is in the Traveling Wilburys. It was very difficult with two other very talented songwriters, Lennon and McCartney, George had lots of competition. When The Beatles broke up, George's first album as a solo artist was full of wonderful songs that hadn't made it on Beatles albums.
Good job I think you've now covered all the artists in the traveling wheelberries. George Harrison is definitely someone worth checking out again. After the breakup of The Beatles, Harrison pursued a solo career He assembled a studio band consisting of Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston on keyboard and others to record all the songs that had never made it on to The Beatles catalog. It was his third studio album called All things Must pass and it's a masterpiece you'd be doing yourself a favor if you put a pair of headphones on grabbed a beverage of your choosing dimmed the lights and settle in for some blissful ear nookie
Do you guys remember reacting to a song called While My Guitar Gently Weeps? How about Here Comes The Sun? Both songs were written by George Harrison, & he sang lead on each when he & his bandmates recorded them, under their group name, The Beatles. And yes, George was also in Traveling Wilburys. Like the other Beatles, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, & Ringo Starr, George Harrison had a successful solo career post-Beatles, with various ventures with other artists. And if you are to be part of the music business world, those are 4 names & faces & careers you should absolutely be familiar with. George also wrote the song, Something, while with The Beatles, & not only was it one of their biggest hits, & most beautiful songs, it's also what Frank Sinatra called 'the greatest love song ever written.' Fun fact about that incredible love song - never once does the word LOVE appear in the lyrics. 😍
If you heard him introduced as John, Paul, George and Ringo you would instantly recognize him as one of The Beatles. This obviously was from his solo career in the 80s. Other songs he sang which are great is When We Was Fab (short for fabulous), All Those Years Ago and my personal favourite, Got My Mind Set on You.
George Harrison's solo material is nothing short of fantastic. You might also want to check out: "Got my Mind Set on You", "What is Life?" and "My Sweet Lord." Pure rock perfection! Also, his work with the Traveling Wilburys was spectacular.
This reminds me of the time Paul McCartney did a song with Kanye West. I saw a lot of younger fans comment that it was nice for Kanye to give an unknown artist a break like that. If you do another George Harrison Beatles song, it’s got to be Something.
YES, MY MAN GEORGE HARRISON!!! BEATLES' lead guitarist, and lead singer of the Travelling Wilburys!! He was a Beatle!!! His beautiful slide guitar makes this one. This was filmed on his estate in Hawaii. Need I say more?
Yes, George Harrison actually formed The Traveling Willburys, inviting all his iconic friends... George Harrison was the lead guitarist of The Beatles, and actually sang a few major songs like 'Something' ... 'Here comes the Sun' ... 'Taxman' ... 'While my guitar gently weeps'... by The Beatles. After the Beatles split in 1970, George Harrison made his mark as a solo artist... even tho he was overshadowed by Paul McCartney, and the legacy of John Lennon. Harrison's solo hits include - 'What is life' ... 'My sweet Lord' ... 'When we was Fab' ... 'Living in the material world' 🔥🔥🔥 George Harrison passed away in 2001 from cancer 😪
John, Paul, GEORGE, and Ringo. George was first a Beatle. Some of their most iconic songs “Something” (Frank Sinatra called it the most beautiful song ever written) and "Here Comes the Sun" were composed by George. His solo career gave us"My Sweet Lord" and more. Then, he was in the Traveling Wilburys.
There are 3 distinctive eras in George Harrison's career. 1. As the lead guitarist of The Beatles, 2. His solo career and 3. His involvement in The Traveling Wilburys. From the Beatles you need to react to his songs SOMETHING and WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS. From his solo career check out 'MY SWEET LORD', 'GIVE ME LOVE' and 'GOT MY MIND SET ON YOU'. From the Traveling Wilburys check out HANDLE ME WITH CARE. George is a legend and I'm not sure if this song was the best introduction to his music, but I enjoyed it.
Reactions like this remind me that you've only been in this world of Rock for a short time. George Harrison is a legendary influence as a guitar player and songwriter with that ancient band The Beatles, solo and yes was also one of the founders along with Jeff Lynn (ELO) of the Wilburys. Songs ... "Isn't it a Pity", "Give Me Love", "Wah-wah", "What is Life", "Daek Horse"
I love how you guys are like "Someone we've never heard" when you've covered him in TWO groups so far LOL. But this is one of my fav and underrated songs from him
In 1971 "The Concert for Bangladesh" in Madison Square Gardens was the first rock concert to raise funds for a humanitarian crisis. Billed as George Harrison and Friends, the list of performers include Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, Leon Russell, Billy Preston, Ravi Shankar, and Eric Clapton. A film of the concert was released in 1972, If you see no other clip from the movie check out Leon Russell's medley "Jumpin' Jack Flash / Youngblood."
You’ve reacted to George Harrison before when you’re reacted to While My Guitar Gently Weeps. He was the youngest Beatle… Yes, he was in the Traveling Wilburys. He plays the opening guitar riff and sings the first verse of the song you reacted to.
George Harrison is my mom’s favorite Beatle, as well as mine. He was the Quiet Beatle who delved deep into Transcendental Meditation, so a lot of his late 60s songs includes sitars and Indian instruments. He had a HUGE hit in 1987, “Got My Mind Set On You.” Once you are on the Harrison path, listen to “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” While it is a Beatles song, it is completely his song. Eric Clapton plays on the song. He then had an affair with Harrison’s wife, Patti Boyd, breaking up the marriage. Boyd and Clapton’s relationship led to Clapton to write “Layla” about how he felt when he fell for her, and the ballad “Wonderful Tonight.”
George was dear friends with Jeff Lynne , founder of Electric Light Orchestra-- they worked on producing songs for each other and I think you’d be able to see their influence on each other. George also orchestrated the Concert for Bangladesh that raised money for starving children in the poor country. He was a beautiful human
He was the “quite” Beatle. So talented. You’ve got to watch Hard Days Night. The Beatles in their early days and dealing with fans. A great movie, very funny and great music . Yes he was in the Traveling Wilburys, singing lead quite a lot.
This is my favorite George Harrison song. I love his voice and the lyrics and the message he is sending in this. He was a beautiful soul and a kind and loving man, to say nothing of his incredible talent.
I am old, but it is absolutely amazing to me to think that someone does not know that he was one of the Beatles. "Gives me Beatles vibes." Ha! I know you all are working young parents and don't have time, but just a tiny bit of research would do you all a little good.😎👀 Yes, he was in the Traveling Wilburys and the most famous band in the history of rock! Just sayin'.
this song was from one of his last albums of 80s call Cloud Nine , then he was in the Traveling Wilburys , yes one of the the beatles members , R.I .P to Harrison 20 years past of of his death of cancer
For Female Friday: Ronnie Spector - ‘Be My Baby’ Bette Midler - ‘From a Distance’ Toni Braxton - ‘Un-Break My Heart’ Roberta Flack - ‘First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ Other notables: Christopher Cross - ‘Sailing,’ Kayne Brown - ‘Worship You,’ Kool and The Gang - ‘Celebration,’ Dan Fogelberg - ‘Same Old Lang Syne’ Luther Vandross - ‘Dance With My Father’
Man women get a WHOLE DAY!!! Wow 1 out of 7!! We living on a modern day boys!!! Women get a whole day put of the week!! Look at the progress we making lol
George is a legendary talent both in groups and solo. (Many good suggestions below) one of the greatest songwriters and organizer of "Concert for Bangladesh" which brought together too many legends to name - Clapton, Dylan, Billie Preston... that concert should be part of any student of music's library. Very spiritual guy - studied and practiced Hindu religion and meditation 👍 For female Fridays: pleeeeze check out Phoebe Snow, "poetry man" or "teach me tonight." Love you two 💕
George Harrison always struck me as a spiritually minded person. And his music encapsulating that ethereal character...My Sweet Lord is the overt example but what's not as obvious(but still omnipresent) is the same spirit running through his complete oeuvre. Was it a natural instinct or was it a developed talent? Be an angel and hazard I guess
Thank you for responding but I'm having a problem understanding your response perhaps I'm obtuse, or the response is a bit confusing. But at first read it sounds as if your being snide, and if so perhaps you can illuminate my flawed thinking more clearly.
George was in the Traveling Wilburys and that Little Band from Liverpool - The Beatles. A few solo songs you should check are "My Sweet Lord", "Got My Mind Set on You" and "When We Was Fab".
The Traveling Wilburys were the brain child of George, in fact the name came from a comment he always made when making a mistake while recording, "We'll bury it in the mix", it become a Georgeism, "I wilburryed that" Need to read the "book" I just emailed to you, true story of how the Wilburys were born
Video probably filmed in Hawaii, where George lived a large part of his later life. Harrison was a very spiritual person so the love he refers to is more than just the typical romantic kind featured in songs. Also, that lead guitar (including the slide guitar) is him playing.
