Eh, that's debatable. this album came out in late 1969. Bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, etc were already around by then and producing much heavier more groundbreaking music. The earlier Beatles albums from the mid 60s are absolutely revolutionary though. Revolver is one of the first true psychedelic albums ever.
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath Yep exactly, not the first heavy song, but they really took that influence and ran with it. It didn't create metal, but certainly influenced the doom subgenre. Very well done for a band that rarely got that loud. My favorite thing about it is how it mixes the nascent metal heaviness with their trademark version of psychedelia creating in my opinion their most accurate sonic recreation of an intense psychedelic experience since Tomorrow Never Knows
Floyd, too, was putting out very "different/experimental" stuff by then. ELP, The Doors, even early YES and Bowie, I believe. Thing is 1967-1973, say, was just, like, this Never Since or Again miraculous bursting forth of creative rock/pop musical brilliance. @@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath
Didn't the story go that they couldn't decide on the best way to end it so as they were sitting around listening to the playback John just reached over, grabbed a pair of scissors and randomly, physically cut the tape...
It’s absolutely bonkers to go from “Love Me Do” to this in such a relatively short time. Almost makes no sense. I cannot for the life of me find another band that has done that.
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 bossa nova style of music is typically associated with the feeling of longing. This song is the epitome of longing! "I want you so bad, it's driving me mad!", hammered again and again, then the slow, plodding outro which I've always imagined as the musical depiction of being marched forward to follow this woman without any ability to control the situation, until the abrupt end, which could mean her capture or his demise.
For me, that brings The Doors to mind, obviously because of the "Light My Fire", but in general too this, to me, is Beatles' take on contemporary influences with The Doors and bit of Hendrix as well, the guitar in unison with the vocal lines. "Sun King" would be another with themselves acknowledging the influence from "Albatros", the Fleetwood Mac piece.
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.
The Beatles, defied all limits, defied all boundaries and defied every attempt to place them in a box musically. The guy that wrote Yesterday, wrote Helter Skelter and the guy that wrote If I fell wrote Yer Blues and lastly the guy that wrote here Comes the Sun wrote It's All Too Much. We were and still are lucky to have had The Beatles write the soundtrack of our lives.
Billy Preston on the keyboards… All the Beatles acknowledged that he brought out something more in them and that they were on best behaviour when he was with them… Great stuff!!
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.
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.
There cannot be a more important band than the Beatles, ever again. It wasn't just about the music. It was about their unique combination of personalities, musical gifts and about the cultural moment they emerged in.
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 😃
I can make an argument that this is the best Beatles song ever. This is truly an ensemble song. It is John's creation but they all play equally on it. John got his creative way on this song at the expense of Paul which doesn't happen often. They are on the top of their game as musicians. They play a style they normally don't play and nail it. This has a "jam" session quality to it which is so cool about the Beatles - they had issues with each other that broke the band up, but when it came to music they could all communicate together. All "5" Beatles are present (both 5th Beatles George Martin and Billy Preston). They are playing games with both words and sound. John, tired of playing with words like he did in Come Together instead uses the same ones over and over and yet each time they convey a unique feeling (Imagine Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy singing a cover to this song!!). They end the song in a way NOBODY ELSE does. As much as Paul hated the ending this was John's equivalent of the "massive sustained chord" at the end of A Day in the Life. They couldn't help but innovate. It was in their bones.
The opening guitar line of Here Comes the Sun following directly after this is one of the greatest rock album moments in history. This is also one of their most unique artistic statements. They nail the atmosphere. The overheated, somewhat intimidating passion is tangible.
In the old days,when I Want You ended you had to get up and flip the record over and then came Here Comes the Sun. The CD doesn't stop but goes directly from one song to the next-changing the dynamics.
The repetition on the 2nd half of Hey Jude is the bursting bright brilliance of the Beatles hippie vibe. The repetition of the 2nd half of THIS song is the deliberately dark depths of the Beatles heavy, hard vibe. They own the extreme endpoints, and everything in between.
This song, an amazing song just gets you ready for a second side that is unlike anything you have ever heard. in your life. Just get ready for an experience.
Ringo’s playing is so smooth with Paul’s bass That little jazzy guitar solo It’s just crazy how these guys came up with all this great music The stars align in a big way over Liverpool. 🤘
Yep Ringo had an extremely light touch on the snare that he purposefully tuned very tight as his genius signature approach. He didn't kill his part but played with a subtlety and total control of the groove.
@CaptinQueue. Great, drummer observation. The smooth way he plays his ride, but leaves open space on his snare. It’s crazy after decades of playing the drums the more I actually listen to Ringo the more I get how great he was.
@@billc.5861 Other drummers of the time, such as John Bonham and Keith Moon, established wild power drumming as a rock drum norm and that drove those bands so well. But it was like Ringo was purposefully sparse and that supported the band's unique sound blend -- songs like Something and Get Back that show his light hand. IMHO the Beatles unsung instrumental heroes were Ringo and Paul McCartney, just brilliant.
@CaptianQueue. That’s basically correct. As a young teenager I started playing the drums in the early 70’s in the swing style then of course thanks to Zep, Bad Co, and a long list of others I became a caveman lol. Fast forward to recently and I met & ask drummer Jeff Campitelli if I could work with him when he’s available. Jeff said listen to Ringo , Steve Gadd , Billy Cobb Ringo was just Genius
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.
If you want to continue your exploration of John’s “rock voice”, I suggest that you listen to his solo track, “Cold Turkey” released in 1969 and credited to the “Plastic Ono Band”. The song is the first one in his career where John took sole songwriting credit and addresses his and Yoko’s recovery from their heroin addiction and features John on vocals and guitar, Eric Clapton on guitar, Ringo on drums, and longtime friend and collaborator Klaus Voorman on bass. It’s been a favorite of mine since it came out.
The "rock voice" was there from the beginning. "Twist and Shout" sounded like a bomb going off way back in 1963. And the middle section of "This Boy" was an absolute revelation - one of the great vocal/harmony performances of the early Beatles.
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.
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!! :)
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.
13:11 OMG!! ❤ OMG!! John Lennon 😭😭 I missed seeing the Beatles but did get to see McCartney w/Wings, RFK Stadium on July 4th, don't remember what year. I recall not being all that enthusiastic cuz I'm not a big Wings fan -- brothers, they did Beatles ALL NITE!! TEARS OF JOY -- this album, in particular!! After Lennon died I had given up hope seeing REAL Beatles but Paul brought it!! When he sang "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" I lost it! -- puddles of joyous tears hit my feet!!! "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make" ❤
Awesome. I was waiting for you guys to hear this one. One of my favorite Beatles tracks. As you said, this album is a masterpiece. You should do side two all the way through to get the full effect.
You guys have the best reactions..you pick up on every little great note!✌️💞(Ringo's softly cooking back there) loved it!! Lol. Would you consider reacting to John Lennon's...Mind Games...official video?
if you like billy preston you will want to hear the loud version from the abbey road super deluxe edition it is from the studio sessions the police tell them to keep it down🎉
@@gertymoores Close. Glynn Johns tells them that there's been a noise complaint from one joysucker and they do one more loud version. John Lennon is disappointingly polite😂
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! ☮☮
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.
Hey guys am SO digging your reaction to this. It is absolutely one of the most iconic records of all time. PLEASE once you get through Here Comes The Sun and Because on side 2 you HAVE TO play the rest of side 2 in it's entirety-it's a suite of connected songs and one the most amazing things you will ever hear...
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.
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.
