John Lennon hated their popular hit single "twist and shout" 

I always found the Beatles’ version of “twist and shout” to be horrible. They tried too hard with it. And even today, 2022, it’s still no good. The Isley Brothers did it better. IMHO

@@Jasper7182009 I disagree. From the opening note till the end it rocks. They did it two takes. That’s not trying to hard. On todays music they do it in 50 takes.

I must be about the same age as you but I wasn't smart enough to appreciate the early Beatles so much until I took guitar lessons, then it started sinking in. I look back today and am still amazed at what they produced.

Same thing here my friend, it's impossible to get the young people of today to understand the way the Beatles changed rock and roll. They can only listen to them and it sounds like anything else because they don't know what it was like at the time. Just know there are still people who were around then and agree with you.

He hated them whether he really hated them or not.

@@Mr.56Goldtop Yes, as I hated him!

He was such a whiner, in hindsight......

@@joederosas5654no one cares.

@@JoaoGabriel-lk9cvBullshit! More Beatles fans care than what you think, you obviously care enough to reply! Thank goodness I was a Rolling Stones fan!

I agree.. thought the same thing.. these creators more often than not use outrageous and untrue click bait verbiage

No

No

He was. 😎🤣

Yeah I found this very odd. Especially from a channel dealing with Beatle content exclusively. The guy who runs it probably isn't even a fan.

@@p0llenp0ny He's an idiot. His video about Obla Dee Obla Da shows a white guy from England and says he's Desmond Dekker, who was actually a black Jamaican dude.

Technically in the early career, wouldn't they be considered a boy band?

@@seid3366 I agree with that assessment. They most certainly were.

I played in a cover band back in the late 60s and Twist and Shout was one of the most requested songs at our gigs. Easy to play and fun to do. One of my favorite Beatles songs still.

@@morrisgentry8624 It was not a Beatles song- They were the 3rd band to cover it minimum. The Isley Bros had the the first popular version.

@86GlowingMeatSteaks Describe the subversion that resulted and any comments you have on them please

And at some point, bitching out becomes fun

Right, John didn't 'hate' that song.

The space key is your friend.

He also said that McCartney's "All My Loving" was a "nice piece of work."

@@virginiapicker Yes,your right!

Perhaps Lennon meant "Yesterday" wasn't based on anything real. The music came to Paul....according to him....in a dream. Paul thought it must have been done by someone else already but it wasn't. When he originally sang it for George Martin he sang "Scrambled eggs."

@@pauls5096 I don't know, that's the most recorded song in history and I can't help thinking that bothered Lennon. It seems pretty clear to me what it's about. Lennon wrote "I Am the Walrus" so writing about something "not real" shouldn't have bothered him...

@@harrylazard805Two things about 'Walrus.' 1) John was tripping on LSD when he wrote some of that song and 2) He wrote the lyrics to throw people off. Everyone...including academics...were always trying to find deep meaning in the Beatles' lyrics (Yesterday?) so John threw them a curve ball. So in a sense, Walrus wasn't about nothing. It had a purpose. Also, Lennon's 'Imagine' is still used regularly in films, commercials etc, and is one of the biggest songs of all time so he really had no reason to be jealous. Imagine was huge before Lennon died. What's pretty clear to you about the song's meaning?

@@harrylazard805 You may in fact be on to something. Check out this article written in January 2022. Paul explains how it came to him in a dream and how he put the words together. According to John, he (John) thought the lyrics worked and were good but his gripe was the lyrics never came to a conclusion of the story. Also, from the article: "McCartney told the BBC: "The worst thing for John, was that he didn’t write Yesterday, I did. And he would get really quite biffed because you would be in New York and the pianist would go and hum the song. That would annoy him." And another friend of Lennon went on to confirm the star's frustration as well. Journalist Howard Smith said of the song: "Yesterday drove him crazy. People would say: ‘Thank you for writing Yesterday, I got married to it, what a beautiful song.’ He was always civil. But it drove him nuts." www.express.co.uk/entertainment/music/1555813/john-lennon-paul-mccartney-the-beatles-yesterday

@@pauls5096 We're talking about Lennon's personality, not the fact he didn't have anything to be jealous about. I read that quote from Lennon before "Imagine". BTW, personally, I don't care for that song and think it's overrated but my feelings aside it doesn't compare to the popularity of Yesterday.

@86GlowingMeatSteaksBoy bands are put together by management teams, agents, and producers. Boy bands don't play their own instruments. The Beatles formed by chance, and were real friends who crafted their sound playing all night in bars. Go back to your games, kid.

It was released in 1976 as the B side of the Back in the USSR single to promote the Rock and Roll double album

It was also a single in the USA on the Tollie label in 1963. I can't remember what the B side was.

@@johnlucas3581 There's a Place was the B side, Twist and Shout was released a full ten years earlier in the USA than it was in the UK

Yes. They had quite a few hit songs. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cTaqn8_gMR0.html

Mentioned in the video

Each had the same last name, so maybe they were really brothers... 🤔

@@luishumbertovega3900 The Ramones had the same last name too, but they weren't real brothers.

@@michaelharrington75 Hey, you re right, Michael, like the Righteous, no, wait, that's not even a last name...😆

I think the 1st time beatles were on the ed sullivan show was 1963. So ringo and john would have been 23, paul 21 and george 20. When they split in 1970 ringo and john would have been 30.

@@christopherdouglas6590 Correct math

@@christopherdouglas6590 give that man a cherute

John also said of that track (Revolution#9:) "One day all music will be created this way." He was referring to splicing together samples of sounds. We now do that with ease thanks to digital, in fact it's becoming industry standard. John's musical 'vision' was courageous.

@@Chris-is6xb Jim Morrison said it as well, a performer using tapes to sing or read poetry without a band. Lennon was not a prophet, just a famous cry baby
