Hip Hop Fan LISTENS to The Beatles' "SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND" Album

[@keekaynene]

SGT. PEPPER!!!

[@aarontimmins4161]

@Mahki Mahkila Literally none of that is true, stop getting your facts off Twitter

[@aarontimmins4161]

@Mahki Mahkila John Lennon was neither bi sexual nor a wife abuser. State your proof

[@aarontimmins4161]

@Mahki Mahkila Yoko Ono is a headliner chaser who would do anything to get attention, hence why she sold the clothes John was killed in at auction, John pushed Cynthia once after she cheated on him and she slipped and hit her head on a pipe, that is not being a domestic abuser. As for the affair with Brian, if you choose to make fairytales over a straight and gay man going on holiday, the issue is you not being able to get past the fact that a straight and gay man can just be close friends. I am far more knowledgeable on Beatles history than you, so don’t even attempt to try and make out like you’re some big all knowing entity. You’ve already highlighted your lack of knowledge

[@lukeboyle5342]

@Mahki Mahkila Lennon never cheated with Brian Epstein but he was bisexual and thought everybody was to an extent

[@howardjones7370]

@Mahki Mahkila : Your nonsense would have considerably more weight and credibility if you had a single fact right, but you are WAY off target!! Firstly, the lead vocals are Paul McCartney, and the song was written by McCartney, kind of kicks your chronically amateurish psychoanalysis into the long grass doesn’t it?

[@jori1]

John Lennon on Getting Better: "It is a diary form of writing. All that 'I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved' was me. I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically... any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women. That is why I am always on about peace, you see. It is the most violent people who go for love and peace. Everything's the opposite. But I sincerely believe in love and peace. I am a violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence. I will have to be a lot older before I can face in public how I treated women as a youngster." The last sentence is particularly sad as he was killed about three months after the interview.

I am 66. Live alone (after 20 years of marriage). I feel great, and people tell me I look like I'm in my early 40s. Take care of yourself. It's not bad at all. I saw The Beatles when I was 9 in 1964 with my mom and aunt.

[@michaelwalsh1035]

"Within you, Without you" is straight up Indian classical music with sitars, tabla etc. The lyrics inspired by Hindu spirituality. It's written and sung by George Harrison.Nothing to do with Arabian Nights.

[@futurereflections4097]

I think the concept behind this album is a mythical band that performs live in a dream. The whole thing is very dream like. It’s perfect to listen to after taking psychedelics.

[@chillychese]

I've been listening to this album since my first lsd experience

[@SAK1855]

This was the first concept album in mainstream pop - the Beatles were pretending to be a different band that’s been around forever - which ushered in the “album era” of releasing cohesive wholes and not just collections of tracks. The weird loop at the end was actually embedded in the inner part of people’s vinyl records at the time, with the needle skipping back over and over. So it wouldn’t turn off until the listener got up and did it. And the silence it followed, by the way, was the full ringing out of the final piano chord; you’d have to keep turning up the volume to hear every last drop of it.

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

I think this album is the best songwriting in Rock and Roll. It set a new bar for what Rock can be. It can accept all genre from any culture. Because The Beatles set that standard with this album. In my opinion, the best album in Rock and Roll.

[@SG-js2qn]

The Beatles ruled the airwaves back then. Hit after hit.

[@iambecomepaul]

The Beatles were recording this at Abbey Road studios. At the exact time-in a studio across the hall-Pink Floyd was recording “Pipers at the Gates of Dawn.” So there’s THAT.

[@johnandrews3151]

You really need headphones when listening to Real Music from the Beatles!

[@johnlorinc2081]

Saying that Sgt. Pepper changed the music world is an accepted fact along the lines of the sun rising in the East and setting in the West. The highs are high....the title track, Ringo's Help From My Friends.....Lennon's buzz-inducing Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds (yes, the L-S-D in the title was a coincidence).....Paul's rooty-tooty When I'm 64, George's all-Indian Within You, Without You......the sexy Lovely Rita.....just a great listen even decades later. Oh yeah.....that closing track, an honest-to-goodness Lennon-McCartney collaboration with not one, but two orchestral climaxes is still mind-blowing. Great video once again!

[@martinaaaaaaaa]

This album is very experimental. Very good reaction!

[@daudder]

Ah man, can you even imagine hearing this in 1967, on the radio or more likely in your room with friends and thinking ...wtf...:)... Great reaction, more please.

[@raylenepasquarella7302]

I got my Sgt. Peppers at age 10. Try having your mind opened and blown away at that age!

[@ryandean3162]

The way records work, there's a final groove on the inside that's just a circle which the rest of the spiral groove leads into to trap the needle after the record is over. That weird looping bit at the very end is what was in that circle, so after the record was over, that would just play over and over again until you stopped it.

[@keekaynene]

Oh wow, dat is... extremely interesting 😳😳😳 dats pretty dope

[@ryandean3162]

@@keekaynene It's called the Run Out Groove, or the Dead Wax. Occasionally people would put bits of sound in there. Famously with this album, they put a 15khz tone in the lead up to the loop, which is difficult to hear, but was supposed to freak dogs out. So if you imagine listening to it as an album back when it came out, the intent was you go through this weird cacophonous ending crescendo and then your dog starts barking at the record player and then you get this weird sound loop that doesn't stop.

[@davidfisher8821]

Excellent Reaction! As for The Beatles, The White Album, Magical Mystery Tour, Help, A Hard Day’s Night are must listens. Their earlier albums are great as well, but suffer from too many covers, even though they are mostly good, it’s their original songs that we want to hear. I would also recommend David Bowie’s 1970-1980 output. Bowie was to the 70s what The Beatles were to the 60s

[@debbiechang5781]

I skimmed through the comments and don’t see any mention of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and the LSD connection but, regardless of the title, the lyrics are the best description of an acid trip that I have ever heard. I can speak firsthand about that. John had a story about his young son and a picture he had drawn but the title and content leave little doubt. 😂 As far as “When I’m 64”, it’s interesting that two of them have already passed and the remaining two are 79 and 81! 64 probably seems youngish now! “A Day in the Life” is in a category by itself. It’s a great album with an interesting story attached to each song. Another masterpiece is an understatement! 🌺✌️

[@braedensteele3184]

The Beatles were very honest about which songs were about drugs and which weren't, and all the Beatles have been adamant it had nothing to do with LSD and was Julian Lennon's drawing of his friend lucy. The title was misconstrued by people to give meaning to nothing.

[@Elias_Veine_Wiig]

@@braedensteele3184 Yeah. While «She’s A Woman» and «Got To Get You Into My Life» is about drugs, «Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds» is not. It was about the drawing.

[@talkingdonkey1817]

First time seeing one of your videos and I instantly dig your vibe. Cheers from New England!

[@kjellcarlsson5639]

Fun facts: She’s leaving home was inspired by a newspaper article about a girl, Melanie Coe, who went missing after running away. “Mr Kite” is more or less literary the text from a poster John bought in an antique store, announcing an upcoming festival. Great reaction.

[@darost]

That very last isolated track was on the inner groove. Most people never heard it until years later. The way vinyl works, it played over and over and over and over and over.... l.UCY IN THE s.KIES WITH d.IAMONDS

[@braudabo]

1967 a sensation, in terms of production technology and in the style, of how a pop / rock album was designed. You can say, that the Beatles switched the pop-genre from black and white to color. After this album at the latest (actually after their "Revolver" and "Rubber Soul", the albums "Pet Sounds" (The Beach Boys), "Aftermath" (The Rolling Stones) and "Blonde on Blonde" (Bob Dylan)) - everyone except "Rubber Soul" (1965) released in 1966, the "Album" was the premier medium in modern popular culture. A few of the "Sgt.Pepper" songs have lost a bit of their fascination over the decades, some Beatles fans too rate "Revolver", "Abbey Road" and the "White Album" a little higher. And yes, John Lennon was sometimes not very friendly to his partners in his "rowdy" times, but this was also in the context of the seen in the late 50s and early 60s, when women were still expected to be submissive. Lennon changed that personally and, as a partner of Yoko Ono, later became one of the first famous men in the 70s, who do housework and take care of the baby in the stroller. To compensate for his earlier inclination to violence, he developed, as is well known, then also to one of the most famous and most successful ambassadors for peace in the world.

[@domenicgalata1470]

No mention of the album that was the direct inspiration for McCartney for Sgt Pepper’s ? Freak Out by Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention.

[@braudabo]

@@domenicgalata1470 "Freak Out" was of course a direct influence on "Sgt.Pepper", but pretty meaningless to the audience at the time. No pig knew Frank Zappa in 1966. The Beatles certainly made "Sgt.Pepper" through the Zappa inspiration, but the following performers made concept and more trickier records, not because of Zappa, but because the Beatles had made one. It was generally a characteristic of the Beatles, that they took little-known ideas, perfected, and popularized them.

[@bboyz5713]

white album or rubber soul next?

[@jude6922]

Rubber soul defo

[@davidwhite8220]

Keep listening. Sgt. Pepper keeps getting better, till it maxes out. (Actually, all three of those albums do, but Sgt. does more so.) The truly unique and great thing about Sgt. Pepper is that it achieves stylistic diversity and stylistic unity at the same time. Every song is distinct, yet the songs are all basically quiet, or at least "open". (Even the loud ones are very "peaky" rather than "solid wavy".) The Beatles on this album were the first to discover something that the Police (and various 80s Brit bands) rediscovered later: most good songs work as just basically "vocals over bass". That is true of both A Day in the Life and Every Breath You Take, just to name the two most obvious examples. By contrast, Revolver is a lot of good songs, and Abbey Road, though it has a kind of partial unity built around bass, piano, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, doesn't have a distinct sub-style for every song. Some things only emerge upon re-hearing to the point of memorization ...

[@faradayfilms3176]

Good reaction! Just one thing I wanted to point out: the Arabian-nights sounding music is actually Indian influenced. The Beatles went on multiple trips to India and studied Eastern philosophy during their time there. Their individual experiences varied but George Harrison (lead guitarist and vocalist of some Beatles songs) really took the Indian philosophies to heart and even sort of became a Christian/Hindu syncretic follower. His religion becomes especially evident in his solo career. Once again, great reaction! :)

[@gapenewell609]

You gotta do the White Album too! It’s their second best to Abbey Road imo.

[@robertasirgutz8800]

[@DongusMcBongus]

Revolver is a effing masterpiece. It’s my favorite album of all time. Abbey Road, is my number 2 as well. I will say, if they had actually put Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane on Sargent peppers like George Martin wanted, I’d be a little bit of a different conversation.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - the story McCartney always told was his young daughter simply pointed to the sky one day and exclaimed, " Look Daddy, it's Lucy in the sky, with diamonds!" However a lot of people think the song title's initials (LSD) and psychedelic lyrics indicate the real meaning of the song.

[@dggydddy59]

Where in the world did you hear such bunk? John Lennon's story was that his son came home from school with a drawing he had done of his friend Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Lucy in the sky with diamonds was just a drawing by John's son Julian about a girl at school. John loved the title until people thought he intentionally meant LSD. It was an accidental overlook, and eventually The Beatles didn't give a shit what people thought.

[@mikefetterman6782]

The Benefit of Mr. Kite was almost word for word taken from an old circus poster John found. He was just reading off the acts, and the marketing from the poster. A day in the life was half John reading a newspaper and literally taking headlines to use for verses. Paul had a snipet of a song with no home, and it fit in the middle with some creative orchestration by George Martin, Paul, and the London symphony orchestra.
