[@robertmartin1807]

The Beatles played together for 5yrs before they even got a record deal. They had so many gigs and they were already talented and professional and already had about 2 albums out before they even came to America! They are the ultimate band!

[@PASTA_ANDBACON123_PANTS]

Even when they got to America, they were so accustomed to the limelight that they weren’t fazed by the American press descending soon them at JFK airport.

[@doesnotexist305]

So tired of people talking shit about pre-Rubber Soul Beatles. Their early stuff was fucking amazing. It just swings, man. It makes you happy. It makes you feel good. It makes you dance. It's not life-changing stuff like the stuff they got into with Rubber Soul and after but it's great music. Please Please Me, With The Beatles, A Hard Day's Night, Beatles for Sale are all classic albums.

[@alexdredge655]

A Hard Days Night is one of my favourite beatle albums, it’s so amazing all the way through

[@rivierarocket]

The cord from she loves you that you mention is George Harrison on lead guitar. I believe it's a G6. You have to remember that at that time the rock and roll chords from the 50s from the US was very much a part of the Beatles repetoiry. It's what they did with it that made even the early music so innovative. Their music had meat on the bones as witnessed by Ringo's drum Rolla t the beginning of the song. This rather than the 50's much as Beep Bop a Lula, Jailhouse rock etc where everything was on the singer with the same voice tone and rhythm . And don't forget the in studio recorded voices were double tracked which added to the innovation of the music.Their musical composition had always been innovative from the beginning and that's what made that night of February 9 1964 on the Ed Sullivan show magic and changed the world. And it only got better as they evolved.

[@rivierarocket]

You have to remember they were from Liverpool with a specific sense of sarcastic humor. So for example when they sang She Loves you on the record it was She Loves you yeh yeh yeh, She Loves you yeh yeh yeh...But live they sang She Loves you yeh yeh yeh, She'd Love to....yeh yeh yeh ( and what do you think she'd love to do? Guess. Also with I want to hold your hand on the records it was "It's such a feeling that my love I can't hide" But live "It's such a feeling that my love I get high" And before they went on stage in the early 60's they were warned not to sing their own version of the song but stick to the words on the recording. You can notice this on the Feb 9 64 Sullivan show when Mccartney and Lennon pronounce can't very clearly. So all of us kids at the time or shortly after thought they were sending out secret messages. John's sense of humor was absolutely razor sharp cutting. Tomorrow Never Knows was John's acid trip. On this link you can hear"I get high"!

[@dannynewey4056]

I was born in 1976 but my Mum always played fantastic records. The early beatles stuff was always on the record player

[@jnagarya519]

"The Beatles" landed in the US in February, 1964. They released 12 LPs one of them a double.

[@lukeizabelle2131]

I am quite similar, I grew up listening to rock music as well as early blues, rhythm 'n' blues, soul, gospel... basically classic black afroamerican music. I wasn't able to listen to anything else. Then afterwards, I discovered The Beatles' music and since their music is so eclectic they taught me to basically listen to almost anything. I would also add Kraftwerk and Daft Punk who taught me to listen to electronic music, A Tribe Called Quest who taught me to listen to Hip-Hop and maybe Miles Davis who may possibly have been the one musician who taught me to listen to Jazz. I don't know whether you trully've had to have grew up in the 60 or the 70s to really understand the Beatles phenomenon. I am 33 years old (born 1988) and I discovered the Beatles when I was 16, have read all about their history and I think I have a pretty great grasp of how important the Beatles were or are. About the first acid trip of Lennon's, him and George Harrison were invited once in 1965 to their dentist's house and the guy for some reason decided to slip some acid in their teas. Harrison suspected that he did that because he wanted to involve them in some orgy or something because there was also present a woman with some big boobs in the dentist's house😂🤣

[@jnagarya519]

"Beatles for Sale" was also a tribute to Carl Perkins.

[@flicfan416]

Actually that "twang" he's talking about in the early Beatles records was John in many ways. His glassy, Richenbacher sound was signature in all those songs.

It can a little bit of an alcoholic beverage or product but the healthier the better. I wanna trip safe and sound. ❤❤ Thanx in advance.

[@johndavids4780]

The early Beatles music was perfect for their time. I was 13 in 1963. Musically it was like breathing the air in a garbage dump thinking that was just the way it was. Then the Beatles made it like you suddenly moved to a mountain glade to breath the free refreshing air. I saw the world in muted black and white with some pastel colors mixed in. The simple song Love Me Do switched to technicolor. It made me see that joy in life was possible. Nobody who wasn't there can understand because their musical lives were always in color. It was the transition that was magical.

John and george first took LSD in early 1965 and then they took it again with ringo in august of 1965 during a day off with the byrds where the whole peter fonda "she said she said" thing happened.

[@Lmclean89]

The first time Lennon and Harrison took acid was before Revolver where they were spiked by Harrison's dentist. John ended up taking it again at their party in LA where Peter Fonda was tripping them out with his story about how he was shot and was pronounced dead for a few minutes. John 'unpolitely' told him to fuck off.

[@abc456f]

Peter Fonda not Henry.

"Along with Beatles bandmate John Lennon and their wives, George Harrison first took the hallucinogenic drug Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in April 1965, when a dentist friend slipped it into their after-dinner coffee" And George got in the elevator where he was and he thought it was on fire. And John was told "you'll never be the same again and he said something live...Great!.

“Tomorrow Never Knows” was written and sung by John Lennon. So was Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (LSD). But a lot of what they said was inaccurate.

Joey I'm 19. My favorite artists from the Beatles era is Otis Redding, Tom Jones, Al green, The Righteous brothers, Etta James; guess I'm a 2000s rarity.. also don't like the Beatles because they sound like four 50s baseball broadcasters singing at the same time.

[@08richw]

Exactly. Spot on. The Beatles blow.

[@jamesdrynan]

A very pedestrian conversation about a group that changed the world. The actual concept of a band of musicians playing, singing and writing their own material didn't exist before the Beatles. Their influence spread around the globe, spawning music and musicians in their wake.

[@zackreynolds21]

Are these guys serious in saying that the Beatles aren’t “pushed” still today??? Good lord..you can’t go into any store and not find some sort of Beatles memorabilia or hear them on the radio station. Personally,I’m not a huge fan myself,but I do understand that they are a monstrous influence on the music industry. In my opinion though,if record companies,tv,radio,etc pushed anybody as hard as the Beatles got pushed in their heyday and even today,then that band would be just as big. Nobody gets more name drops than the Beatles-that hasn’t changed. Trying to pretend like it has...it’s just ridiculous

[@rock3rd819]

The problem with saying that anyone could have been the Beatles if they were pushed as hard is that the Beatles had the sound and talent to back it up.

[@SimonJonesMusic]

Have to agree with Joey, I adore the beatles but the first few albums are incredibly cheesy and poppy. Rubber Soul was my childhood and it blows my mind how young they were when they recorded it.

[@SOMSebster]

Cheesy and poppy by what standards? It was the early 60s. Personally think there a few great songs and definitely some classics on their early albums

[@Talisman09]

All of their albums are fantastic

[@ledflaplin2001]

Early Beatles were phenomenal! The chord changes and progressions on top of the harmonies were uncanny. No one could play and sing as well as they could. Not to mention writing their owns tunes as well. Their whole catalog is worth its weight in gold. But the early stuff is just as good as the later period. Or from rubber soul and on. Please please Me and with the Beatles, Beatles for sale, A Hard Days Night. All top notch albums. They were in a class of their own from their first album on.

[@Magsm666]

Cheesy and poppy but even during the 60s they were different in their sound that most mainstream acts at the time...

[@basicoptimalmouse]

Abbey Road is the album you start someone on. It's great, but not wholly experimental like Revolver, Peppers, or the white album, but there's still a nice amount of weirdness that catches or keeps your attention. White album is so long and hard to digest for a first time listener, half of Revolver is weird but it grows on you. All their early stuff, you just give them the red 62-66 album because so much of their early stuff was pretty crap and forgettable.

[@dskywalker3397]

Precisely. Abbey Road is a good entry point.
