The Beatles, after their early years, didn’t have A SOUND. They did whatever the hell they wanted. They created their own music. No genre, no category.

@xhighone 6 месяцев назад

They stopped touring because the crowds were so loud they couldn't hear and then spent so much time in the studio they and their engineers invented a lot of multi-track recording/basic recording techniques still in use today out of necessity and preference since they were constantly forging new pathways. They had unlimited resources, time, and energy. Unreal.

@artsilva 6 месяцев назад

although they were creative with different sounds and how this song is completely different, I remember when this came out, it was clearly [in my ears] The Beatles because of their signature tone in vocals and instruments and production. No one else could have done this... maybe to the untrained ear who only know a couple of their most popular songs would be thrown off or confused but to the trained ear and casual Beatles fan, this is quintessential Beatles creativity and sound.

People need to relearn the lesson John tried to teach with I Am the Walrus. He despised people trying to interpret his stuff. After he wrote I am the Walrus he said Let the F---ers interpret that. As for moods, he just wrote about what he might be thinking about at the moment. Nothing heavy or deep, and he said the mood of a song could depend on whether he had a good crap that day

Nice Conversation guys . . . I completely agree. But even as a "Kid" when I was OBSSESSED by this album, everytime I went to my Aunt's home in Anaheim Calif, and when they moved to San Clemente, I would ask to put the album on - I knew it was about Yoko, because of the "controversy" of their relationship was often in the news. I later realized as an adult, no matter how _quirky_ Yoko was (so was John :p), John loved her like no other, much like Paul loved Linda.

@TTM9691 6 месяцев назад

Although The Beatles did often come up with entire new genres that bands would then populate, this song isn't really one of them. It's got a great wicked guitar lick - which they practically invented with I Feel Fine and Day Tripper - but in '69, you had '21st Schizoid Man" and Jimi doing "Dolly Dagger" or Cream's "Sunshine Of Your Love", etc etc.....Jethro Tull's "Stand Up"...."In A Gadda Da Vida" ..heavy sinister guitar riff rock was "in". This fit right in. For me "Abbey Road" is The Beatles, yet again, staying completely contemporary through the constantly changing 60s as band after band rose and fall as styles shifted.

It is a song about desire for a woman ( yoko ono in his case )" Heavy" was 1960's slang for serious or consequential - this is a woman who will change your life not a fling. It is so powerful. no-one should ever judge the beatles by love me do and yellow submarine, they paint the entire human experience in music. You will be shocked by how heavy helter skelter is and you will would also like oh darling which is Pauls equivalent love song.

It’s interesting to me that YT music reactors usually take a few years to get around to the Beatles. Often they will say they’ve heard all the hype and that’s made them shy away from exploring. And then they hear a few songs and it’s down the rabbit hole they go! There’s a reason the Beatles are The Beatles. It will put all the other music you love in a different light.

@TTM9691 6 месяцев назад

The answer is: copyright, Johnny! :D It looks like they're loosening up, but that's traditionally why most reactors stay away from Beatles other than on their Patreons. Same thing with Jimi Hendrix. You don't see many Hendrix reactions, do you? You post a Hendrix reaction, they take it right down.

@gustavogutierrez9086 6 месяцев назад

Great reaction, as always! I’m so glad Lex brought this one up. I first listened to this song when I was 11 years old in 1972, I had heard a couple oh the hits (Something and Here Comes the Sun) on the radio but when my dad passed away (‘72) I inherited his LP collection which included Abbey Road. From the first track on the album I could not stop listening and when this song came up as the last in side A, I was floored. I could not jump up fast enough to flip the record and hear the rest of this masterpiece. I listened to this entire album every time I sat down to hear (and I still do.) An often overlooked part on this entire album is the genius drumming of Ring Starr, I know you do appreciate it and I appreciate you both because of that. Not many people get it. Thank you!

This song was always there on Abbey Road, just as you've heard it. It was at the end of side one, which is why you heard a snip of Here Comes the Sun immediately after, since it started side two. The song was never released as a single, but it did have some radio play on the more "proggy" stations (yes, there were a few, at least in the major metro areas). I agree, the song is proggy, it's heavy, it's dark, it's jazzy - all of that together. It was always one of my favorites from Abbey Road - an album that really is one of their very best and is best appreciated in its entirety. Geez, has it really been 55 years? I remember listening to that album in my early teens. It was extremely popular among my peers. I consider it just as influential to the prog movement as others that came out around the same time - In the Court of the Crimson King, The Yes Album, Days of Future Past... and so on. Late 60s's early 70's was one of the most exciting times in music.

They did get together some and shared ideas, so you do hear some commonality, I think. Since the Beatles didn't tour after about 1964, they could focus their amazing creativity in the studio and bring us that great string of albums: Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers, the White Album, Abbey Road, and Let it Be...!

Here's The Beatles live in the studio version; enjoy! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BvT4BUFauqc.html

It's about Yoko. The word 'heavy' in hippie vernacular didn't mean weight in the respect of poundage. It was when someone or something was considered significant. 'That's heavy, man', for example. According to a source, though John would work out guitar parts with George this song John basically sang and played the tight guitar part at the same time. They also incorporated a Moog synthesizer which was a very new thing then. They asked John how to end the song. He simply told them to cut it right where it ended, thus the abrupt ending.

This song has so many musical things going on, sounds heavy, but each Beatle contributed in their own way. Adding Billy Preston's organ makes it a great song, Paul's bass is great, and Ringo's drums set a great tone. This is the last song where all the guys contributed equally

The tone of the guitars is what makes this song so great!!!!!!Of course the drumming and bass 🎴 playing is phenomenal and the vocals great but this guitar tone set the stage for so many other artists

Pink Floyd producer Norman Smith had been a sound engineer working under George Martin on early Beatles albums. So yes, there was a direct connection between them.

They recorded it in parts I believe. At the end they added a wall of overdubs to increasingly thickening it up. The abrupt end was due to John Lennon didn’t want it to go past that time and simply cut it there. I took that inspiration from them on one of my tunes and did the same technique. Though there’s is better, haha.

The Beatles would create an a new genre of music with one song, and then move on to a new one. It's all the others who follow that sound like the Beatles.

The movie you refer to is “Across the Universe,” which covered many Beatles songs, stitching them together to make a musical about the period of the Beatles production. They didn’t record the music, it was after the band broke up. Worth watching, especially for boomers who will be incredibly nostalgic. All the groups who you mention it sounds like were influenced by the Beatles, not the other way round!

This song is also one (of many, many, many) of my favorite songs. By the way, has anyone ever noticed that the song has almost the same musical theme as Because, even though it is a completely different song?

FYI - It wasn’t George on guitar with John singing, it was John, himself. 🙂👍🍏💂💂💂💂

Thanks for the great reaction. You are close when you say “this sounds like______”. Because The Beatles influenced everyone. So, it’s more like “wow, Jimi Hendrix sounds like this!” Or “wow, Rush sounds like this!” Or “Wow, Pink Floyd sounds like this!” And this song is typical 60’s slang and like pretty much every Lennon song from this time is about Yoko. He is expressing his desire for her and telling her she’s so heavy, which is slang for deep. She was an established avant-garde artist when they met.

7:35 "It sounds In The Flesh by Pink Floyd". Oh my god, I never noticed that! It does!

It's not my opinion, it's a fact. This is the greatest album in the history of recorded music.

Going back to the 60's, we meant heavy as something or someone being intense, many times referring to deep music. "That's so heavy, dude." It had nothing to do with weight, Uncle Sam or the Statue of Liberty...lmao. This song was believed by most to be John's obsession with Yoko. You guys are funny.

The white-noise at the end is a moog synthesizer from Lennon.
