MASTERPIECE!!! My personal N°1 song from The Beatles, incredible production, everything here is pure genius

@n3wbury Год назад

Most bands will go their entire discography without getting close to this, and they achieved this like 200 times.

@strathman7501 Год назад

"everything they do sounds super-similar" "they have that same sound on like every single song" This is a contender for the least true statement it is possible to make about The Beatles. Keep listening 🙃

The Beatles (well George Martin & Co.) had to physically splice tape together, they invented the "studio as an instrument", they pioneered all kinds of recording innovations and basically transformed the music industry and this guy says THAT?? When the fact is, they were by far, very far, the worlds most creative band of all time, there is no close 2nd. There is no band with such incredible diversity from song to song, perhaps not even the great composers. They played in literally every genre, and pioneered some of them.

@gemanscombe4985 Год назад

We're all products of our own time - the period of our musical discoveries. I have some sympathy for this reaction. I'm a lot older and I can hear only one rap "song" being done and redone. Anyone who isn't familiar with the '60s can't easily appreciate what a radical break this was from the pop music that came before, even Beatles songs.

@blitztim6416 Месяц назад

I know. Those were crazy statements. 🤪 Their songs are all different.

@aquablushgirl Год назад

It makes me laugh when I hear Gen Z/Millennialls being dismissive about The Beatles. They are still one of the main influences in modern music. Ask any musician who he or she is inspired by and they will either name The Beatles or another musician who in turn was inspired by The Beatles. I just don't think young brains can comprehend how innovative and cool they were (still are). They are so far removed from it. I think when they get older and have more knowledge and understanding of cultural history they will get it more.

@ricardo_miguel13 Год назад

I get it

@patticrichton1135 Год назад

It's funny that you said "I just don't think young brains can comprehend how innovative and cool they were " when those of us who were fans (and STILL ARE) back in the '60s when The Beatles were active... we WERE YOUNG and had NO TROUBLE comprehending there music. There are also GenZ/Millennial reactors here that ARE LOVING the Beatles music on first hearing. NOT ONE of them as ever said that all the Beatles music "sounds the same" like TY said here! My JAW dropped when he said THAT!! It's SO NOT TRUE! AGAIN, back then, we couldn't wait for their next single or album to come out, to see WHAT they were going to do NEXT....was NEVER the same. TY clearly hasn't heard very much of their music (well there is over 200 songs), but if he would listen to ALL their music he would see that it ALL doesn't sound the same. Seriously. SO sad.

@AlBarzUK Год назад

Anyone who says the Beatles always sound [insert whatever word here] hasn’t heard anything much of the Beatles.

@dirtylemon3379 Год назад

I think the imaginative, creative, visionary, boundary breaking music of the Beatles is too much for some people of a certain age to understand. They've grown up on so much music that either relies on excessive vulgarity or is just bland, conventional, formulaic songs with three notes.

@chargree 9 месяцев назад

They dont see the Beatles in the context of the time frame and what music was like at the time. The Beatles invented and normalized many techniques and tricks that seem common now. They were not, at the time.

@skintrader100 Год назад

I cant be critical of Ty's comments. Im the same age as Dad but when I was Ty's age I didnt get the Beatles either. Its not till my listening ears matured more that I understood what they were trying to do. They were geniuses and deserved to be the biggest band the world has ever seen. I'm a synth pop/new wave nut and the Beatles do now appeal to my sensibilities.

@reactionextraction Год назад

@coachtomas Год назад

Art is subjective. But funny enough I just think “experimental” is not compatible with younger listeners due to lacklustre forumlaic state the music industry is in.

He actually likes Tame Impala (modern artist) who is trippy and for sure inspired by the Beatles

@giomac8131 Год назад

I think this is one of most genial song ever written. It was written by John Lennon. It is certainly among my favourite songs by The Beatles, and I know all of them. Great choice to react to that! And I'm waiting for the Doors too😊

@erican7893 Год назад

Kids today have no emotions. I guess nothing surprises them.

@mikefetterman6782 Год назад

The sound in the beginning is a mellotron (an early version of what would become synthesizers) with tape loop sounds in conjunction with a keyboard.

@HaleksMTL Год назад

Actually no, the Mellotron was was used at the beginning of Strawberry Fields Forever but for I am The Walrus (And I did extensive research on this song) it was a 1964 Hohner Pianet C that was used with tape flanging that made it sound more "glittery".

@stony2494 Год назад

I don’t see how you could listen to this and not be blown away by Beatles creativity. These guys missed going through the musical evolution process and therefore aren't really equipped to understand what's taking place. They probably prefer some sampling tune or maybe even something traditional. Kinda like giving a critique on an abstract painting from the 40’s and saying thats not a tree. 🤦‍♂️😎

@StepnieW Год назад

"Sounds very similar, I feel like a lot of their stuff sounds super similar. Same kind of like sounds. I think it's the guitar but they put some effect on it. They have that in like every single song." What?! You need to clean those ears. They are probably full of ear wax. FYI, if you were just born yesterday. Most rock music has a guitar in it. By your logic, they all sound the same.

This was originally not intended to be heard on headphones. Cranked on a good stereo is awesome.

@coreyaruecker Год назад

It’s great on headphones. Cranked on a good stereo in the proper room matters too. I live with a roommate that cranks his good sound system in a tiny room so the sound just bounces rapidly from wall to wall and it sounds like shit

@SmithyInWelly Год назад

You should listen/react to Oasis' cover of this... it's absolutely bluddy brilliant - and very different to the original.

@ed2kou1 9 месяцев назад

This young kid is crazy! Saying all the Beatles songs sound alike absolutely insane! The Beatles were their own Genre. Yeah I wanna hold your hand sounds just like come together and Penny lane sounds just like Helter Skelter. Then he dismisses how the songs go from right to left on headphones. Come on, sometimes you can just say I’d have to hear more songs before I can make an honest opinion.

@joannparker1977 11 месяцев назад

Pure nonsense- on purpose. But, you guys didn’t see that! Your reactions at the end were totally not what I expected. I thought at the very least you’d be laughing and scratching your heads. And for this reason I won’t be subscribing to your channel.

@planetbetter Год назад

I can kind of see how maybe L A Woman and this song have some similarities. (Not so much Love Me 2 Times). Yet, this is a classic psychedelic song, and ahead of its time. Read the lyrics, almost surreal. E G ‘sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.’ And, ‘ Semolina Pilchard, Climbing up the Eiffel tower Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allen Poe ‘

@KevinPugh-hq8rc 24 дня назад

In the 60s and early 70s, stereo was still yet to be common. Radio, TV even record players were still mono. So when the technology arrived, the musicians were discovering what it could do. Remember, 8 track was first used on "Sargent Peppers" but even then, everything was analogue. Digital was still 15 to 20 years down the road. You do need to factor in the technology of the time. Imagine today without any, digital manipulation.

@garyrhone1395 Год назад

@waschosen- Год назад

It's kind of interesting and also makes me feel old to see young people listening to those familiar songs as if they were new.

@paulvaultguy 10 месяцев назад

A big factor is the recording norm of the times was a 4 track tape recorder. Thus, to make room for additional instruments, sounds etc they had to move tracks from stereo to mono to add in the 'king lear on the radio' addition That's why you hear it move to mono about half way thru. The fact they did Sgt Peppers and Magical Mystery tour on 4 track tape is mind boggling. Now they have what 128 tracks?

@jvs333 Год назад

What many of todays people don’t realize was that back then there was no stereo, there was none of the technology that is available today. They were just creative innovative geniuses, they created all the things that today is taken for granted due to today’s technology many of which came about due to their creative innovations. They were just a song writing band they were truly brilliant audio artist. So when evaluating the Beatles take into account not just their music but their innovative thinking g towards music and recording. They expanded the definition of music/art beyond anyone then and now. And they did it in 5 years (64-69) they were like a tornado that came ripping thru the world
