And the roof concert Jan 69, their final public performance, Paul was 26 and George was 25 yrs old. They were teenagers when they began that 7 yr musical odyssey. They recorded Abbey Road that spring and summer-then split.
Now imagine it’s 1969 and your 14 and your parents gave a stereo system and your older sister gave you headphones and now you listen to this for the first time. It was so devastating that in a couple years they’d breakup 😮
It happened to Brian Wilson but with rubber soul. He spent one month or something like that, in his beach house, high as the moon, playing that record over and over again. He was upset and sad because his father wanted him to keep on writing catchy and easy teenage pop hits. Rubber soul have him the boost to develope pet sounds and stop composing teenage music to go after something more elaborated and mature. When Brian delivered Pet sounds the Beatles answered with revolver and Sargent pepper's.
The Bass Line is killer, and the Vocals too - Billy Preston mixing in that special spice, Ringo so smooth and on point. The boys were dangerous. HEAVY!!
It’s great to have somebody who knows the intricacies of music reacting to these classic songs. Love your channel, I click immediately when I see a new video
The thing you have to recognize about the Beatles is that they didn't look at their popularity and fame in the sense of, well this sold really well so we have to keep on putting out this kind of record. They looked at it as giving them the freedom to do anything they wanted. That's why they were so creative.
Billy Preston played on Dig a Pony', 'I've Got a Feeling', 'One After 909', 'The Long and Winding Road', 'Don't Let Me Down' and 'Get Back', Hammond organ on 'Dig It' and 'Let It Be, I Want You ( she's so heavy ) and Something ... so cool !
Abbey Road is so good and this is one of many masterpieces! The Beatles just got better and better until the end. Awesome reaction amigos, so glad you are enjoying this classic album.
I really like the way breakdown a song, you know what is going on and you have fun doing it. No one has a reaction to this song like yours. I think it is brilliant, but is under appreciated. Some of best individual playing is in this song, every Beatle plus Billy Preston's organ is great!
Again, it's an absolute PLEASURE watching you two gentlemen hear another legendary rock music track for the first time. God bless you both and cheers to future rock music discoveries...
Love this reaction to my favourite song of all time. Buzzed when he said you dont get bored of the same lyric and then cant wait to hear for it again... nailed it! 🙌
Indeed....building & building the white noise, the hypnotic closing melody slamming to a close is BRILLIANT. End of Side 1. John Lennon and Paul McCartney had the greatest & purest rock and roll voices in all of music history. Buckle up, young men, for Side 2....!!! BEATLES FOREVER 😃
The amazing Producer George Martin was often referred to as the 5th Beatle. Whatever you want to call him, he played a very important role in getting the sound just right. Elegant even.
Yes, George Martin was already the 5th Beatle, as he not only produced but added piano, keyboards, and orchestration to their songs from the very first album. Billy Preston would have been the "6th" Beatle, not the fifth. And he wasn't the first outsider to record with them - Eric Clapton, possibly others. Billy definitely added a lot to the one or two albums.
Please Please Please 🙏 play the Beatles medley all together…you have to!!!!! It starts with Because and goes to the end of the album. YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE MEDLEY ALL TOGETHER. Just think of it as one giant song, because it is…it’s the only way to get the effect. ❤
It is the only way to listen to it. Each time I hear the medley it’s like I’m hearing it again for the first time. The medley is arguably my favorite “song” from my favorite album from my favorite band.
I appreciate you guys becoming more confident to interject during the song. You all know your stuff. And, this is a criminally underrated song. It literally invented stoner metal by accident. Excellent work as usual.
This track is what would The Beatles sounded like if they added Billy Preston to the group. I do hope you guys reacted to John Lennon's first true solo album "Plastic Ono Band". That album has Ringo and Billy (with Klaus Voorman) in it.
The Beatles got better and better with each sucsessive album! Makes you wonder what they could have produced had they remained together for a few more albums! ☮☮
Abbey Road...A masterpiece and a huge chapter of my youth. Know it all by heart. I think listening to the entire album all the way through is a must!! :)
You're the first person I've heard describe their 'hard rock' as elegant. A light bulb went off over my head - "Yeah. I never thought of it like that before". Thanks for the breakdown. You guys are great.
The Beatles are without a doubt the greatest band ever! Somehow through their music they’re able to make you feel something or think something. The most important thing is we have fun and we’re mesmerized by the talent and the gift God gave our ears and our souls. BEATLES are their own Genera. NWA is the rap Beatles since I heard you mention Tupac.
The fadeout was a doom metal riff years ahead of its time! Classic! As for the repetitive and few lyrics, John Lennon once explained by saying, "'She's So Heavy' was about Yoko. When you're drowning, you don't say, 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me. ' You just scream it."
The most complex song on the album. Multi tracked guitars which give that rich full grungy sound. The white noise on the end was from the newly used MOOG synthesizer at John's request, and it was his idea to have the drastic cutoff in the end.
Perfect analysis on The Beatles Hard Rock style. It goes back to them perfecting "Pop Craft". They were the perfect combination of great musicians, hard work and having Sir Richard Martin at the helm.
I think this song is some of Paul's best bass playing ever. In fact, I think the whole band gave their best performances on this song, and Billy Preston right in there with them.
With this particular song, considering the divide and tensions between the Beatles, there were reports that in the studio completing the finishing touches John wanted to add a more experimental and abstract touch and so came the white noise at the end. There was a point where Paul would absolutely speak his mind but did not in this situation and was visibly upset at what John was doing to this song. So picturing that, all four Beatles sitting down listening to the completion, plus Yoko’s smug smile is so interesting but also a bit heartbreaking.
The Beatles did so many different genres through their discography, but you’re right they had elegance with it. They could do their usual pop, or switch it up to a ballad, rock, or blues and they were going to put their spin on that genre and make you think they invented the genre
Demon Days by Gorillas is not better, but damn, in complexities and layered ideas and influences and elegance it’s the only one I can think of that comes into the vicinity 😅
This song is a lesson in how to repeat the lyrics, the melody and the bridge and make it sound differently each time. Paul’s bass work is phenomenal in this song. The guitar solo is great and the organ taking everyone to church just finishes it off.
Thanks fella's, really enjoyed you enjoying my favourite piece of music, anywhere on the planet! Great reaction. These days I mostly listen to deep house, but this track is special. Nice one, cheers :)
Hard elegance. That's a good way of putting it. That's not a loop on the back end of the song. They're playing that whole song live all the way through. The only thing they added after playing it live was a Moog synthesizer, if I recall, which is the instrument that sounds like a wicked howling wind on this cut. And how about Paul's bass? He just doesn't get enough credit for how fantastic he became on the back nine of the Beatles' band career. I'm glad you picked up on how awesome Ringo is. He's said by many to have a freakishly supernatural sense of rhythm. BB King played with him live and said, Tick tock. Like a clock." Producers Niles Rogers and George Martin - both separately on separate projects - learned while slipicing multiple takes together into single tracks on some albums on which Ringo played as a session player that Ringo can play the exact same beats per minute on Take 7 as Take 17 as he would on Take 77. Rogers and Martin didn't have to use pitch control software to match up separate takes on their rhythm. Ringo can play it perfectly every time even after playing 80 times. Again, supernatural.. It is something neither producer had ever noticed in a drummer before. And those guys produced a lot of music. But of course, as evidenced on this cut, Ringo swings with the best, too. The guy just knows what to play and to play it. And he never practices! Some musicians are just gifted into it. Thanks for the cool reaction video. You guys made some astute observations. Like hard elegance.
They may have got to sixteen track recording abilities by this time, but a majority of Beatles productions, were done with 4 and 8 track recording abilities, meaning that all the extra instruments, voices , sound effect s, etc...the had to add it to an existing tape, no computers, reel to reel tapes, splice and cut tapes. Credit Phil Martin, an d the boys for changing Recordings , of any kind, in Music History.
Guys, that is John singing and playing lead guitar at once . Tip off is his blonde Epiphone pick-up tone, deep and thick. George is playing high treble notes through a Fender Telecaster, rosewood body . Rare.
When you guys get to side 2, you really need to do it as a suite, one long reaction. The songs segue, and half the interest is how they do. Such a great reaction video, watching your faces for every nuance of what is, after all, really nuanced. (Which is one of the reasons you don't get tired of the repetition in the lyrics). Also tease apart all these instrumental contributions, but like the voices, the sum is such an unbelievable synergy. And as far as John's vocals... maybe it's just us older folks, but a lot of people talked about him as one of the greatest singers. That a podunk town England would come up with two of the greatest singers in rock history, and they'd be two of the greatest writers, and they'd join forces the way the did.... what were the chances?
Their hard rock is elegant is a perfect discription! Man, you guys just took me back to high school with this one! Helter Skelter is one to check out. Cheers
It’s actually John on lead gtr on this - the vocal and gtr phrasing - amazing; John also on the white noise filter on the moog George brought it in - Fading it up to the hard cut.
