[@shore348450]

He was wonderful but he was also a bit difficult as his songwriting skills became better and he wanted his songs included on Beatles albums. He wrote some great songs but wasn’t in the same league as Paul and John. He was the best guitarist in the band during the Beatles period.

You'd think that somebody being In the biggest band In the world would have an ego to match but fame never changed him. I wish we still had people like George making good music, If only he knew how much the world misses him, I know I do

[@mrfester42]

I grew up with the Beatles while they were together and they're still at the top of my list and George was and remains my favorite Beatle. I guess I'm one of a few million original Beatlemaniacs and being that means I love all of those guys but you're kidding yourself if you think that George didn't have an ego. George always had a certain guarded arrogance about him and if you pay attention you can see it in this video of him in certain subtle ways. He still knows the importance of being gracious... after all he is British and he was, at least, one of four of the most famous and most rcogniozed people on the planet for more than a decade. Even Eric Clapton, one of Georges oldest and closest friends, said that George was very "contrary" which is a very big deal because you never hear Clapton say anything even remotely negative about anyone. Fame certainly did change all four of those guys but not necessarily in ways that anyone would expect or that would necessarily seem obvious. Of all four ex Beatles he had the least patience for anything he considered nonsense or foolishness in people he didn't know... especially the press and crazed fans. He certainly did have a big ego and I'm in no way putting him down for it but it's a fact.

I think what sets Harrison apart from most other musicians is the fact that he was so grounded...he wasn't flashy...he wasn't an egomaniac...he never changed...all he ever wanted was to be a musician and be successful...he achieved greatness by just being himself and not putting on any airs...we were so lucky to have him for as long as we did.

I recall George was considered the “Sweet One” of the Beatles. I failed to appreciate him fully at the time. He was so unassuming and without affectations, and he had such a calm and reassuring understanding of life -- and death Now I’m totally blown away by the Traveling Wilburys and how relaxed and natural these artists seem to be. They make their beautiful music appear so effortless. They simply move their fingers and mouths, as easy as most people smile, and we are given musical treasures to cherish.

[@daddypig.5796]

I’m not expecting a reply from two years ago but Tom was near on 40 when he collaborated on this. Already an accomplished musician with many years previous to the wilburys . George was maybe only 6 years his junior. I wouldn’t take too lightly to a 51 year old man referring to me as a schoolboy when I was nearing 40. You made Roy sound a bit of a has been. He was already buddy’s with Jeff, so already “hanging out” with the “young guys”, as you put it. Roy was smart enough to know he would place himself amongst some of the finest that day. They gravitate towards each other simply because they are/were all beautiful souls who appreciated one another’s tremendous musical abilities. No one trying to be cool here.

I love George. I can’t imagine what he went through in his life. Most people probably think it was great and fun and amazing, and I’m sure there were those moments, but it must’ve been pretty traumatic. Impossible to imagine, but you can tell by his demeanor that it had an unpleasant effect on him. You’d think he had a great life, but I bet there was more pain and struggle than most people endure. He was a great musician, a legendary musician. The work he accomplished puts him up there with Beethoven. That must be a hard pill to swallow. He was taken from us way too early. It’s our exceptional luck that Paul made him play “Raunchy” for John on top of that double-decker bus that night. How much more empty would our lives be if those three never got together?

I laugh how George explains he hated the thought of a 70 superstar group. Maybe being in the 60's superstar group let George understand how crazy it gets.

I don't think that's what he meant. Pretty sure he was referring to bands like Blind Faith, Derek & The Dominoes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Asia, etc. "Supergroups" consisting of already famous individual players making music of variable quality. Sometimes supergroups work well together musically (in the case of the Wilbury's or ELP), sometimes they don't (in the case of Blind Faith who imploded after 1 album or Asia who got decent commercial success but the music was just awful). The Beatles may have been considered a "supergroup" in their day, but the individual members weren't famous before the Beatles.

No the Beatles weren't a super star group. They may have been the biggest band in the world but they were not made out of members of other very successful bands.

[@nealzokan2680]

leokimvideo That seems in redibly foolish to say the Beatles were a "supergroup". Thwy BECAME one becsuse of their massive popularity and influence-not because they were famous prior to the formation of the group.

I still love Wasted and Can't find my way home so I'm not sure about that. Also, Asia was what it was, pop, but many people (myself included) really liked it.

[@magillanz]

a lot of "Supergroups" are just people from other bands where as the WIlburys are all superstars

He's so smart George and so levelheaded ..all of everything he said ..makes so much sense..

[@lbracknell]

I'm so glad I saw this interview. I got the 1st and 3rd album when they came out, but In all these years I never found the 2nd Traveling Wilburys album. Now I know why I couldn't find it, there wasn't one. It's good to know I didn't miss out on hearing it.

George always did a great interview when he's asked questions about the music, by an intelligent interviewer. He could clam up when he was just being chased for his fame, but this kind of an interview is quite enjoyable and interesting to listen to.
