@@shb7772000if All the members of the band that was forming called the Monkey’s were all talented musically. Mickey and Davy were child actors. Davy was in the broadway musical, Oliver, and played the Artful Dodger, and was the center of the musical. You bought into the hype by the producers of the show the Monkey’s that were the stars of the show selected by them had no musical talents. I was a teenager when the show the Monkey’s made its entrance on national TV. The producers wanted to maintain 100% control of the show, the band they created and to do that they told the members of the band what to sing and had a top song writing team as well as what instruments they would play as they created the show around their ability to act like the Beatles in a buddy movie who did a movie that was humorous called a Hard Day’s Night. The four members of the Monkey’s eventually rebelled against the songs and music control of the band by the producers and eventually won some creativity in writing, singing and performing they own songs live and yes the Monkey’s were a very real band. Monkey’s had some serious hits , many enjoyed their albums and they should be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Worthy noting that over 20 years later in the era of MTV the Monkey’s got together once more , created more music and made a huge musical comeback as well as now doing extensive tours and live gigs on tv, once again they were high in demand. This time another generation of America’s youth were treated to the music of the Monkey’s.

They were musicians, basically Kirchener ( who was a complete ahole I hear,) wanted studio musicians bc he wanted to control the sound with 'his sound'. He created the myth they couldn't play, they could. Mike was incredibly talented, he produced a number of now famous ppl and basically created the idea of what became the original MTV ( he had a show on Nickelodeon that was the inspiration;they asked him to run MTV but he wanted to do music). They sounded and played great. In 1967 the Monkees outsold the Beatles and stones combined.

At about 9 years old I tried to convince my mom that Davy was the cutest Monkee, not Peter! Looking at this 2001 performance gave me a whole new perspective on the group. They were much, much older but really did that song so much better than when they were younger. I am encouraged that maybe with age comes wisdom that can elevate an understanding of a song, book, painting, whatever the medium may be.

Rosalind I agree 100%. Mickey Dolenz does have one of the best voices in Rock... along with David Cassidy ! Despite what some rockers believe...They Did !!! (I love all kinds of music and most genres)...so I'm giving credit where credits due ! The belong in the R&R HOF along with the Raspberries !!! I hope they...at least one of them gets to see it ! Cassidy didn't (and should have).

Long live rock and mainly The Monkees. Impossible to forget all the musics and the band is shining all long time. They're very famous here in Brazil.

Wow I can't get over this. They should have riffed another three minutes. Probably the best post-60's version I have heard, the chick on the board controlled it just right, though I prefer the older instruments. Amazing Mick you sounded twenty-five, thank you for giving it your all boys when our country needed the return of out of control, in your face American talent tellin' em all off. That's rock n roll baby.

Paul Revere and the Raiders also did a great version of this song. ‘She’ and ‘Words’ have made a few of my playlists from The Monkees.
@keithelster8858 Жыл бұрын
The Raiders did it first, but AFAIK never released it as a single. Similar to Santana having the hit with Black Magic Woman, but it was originally a Fleetwood Mac song, written by Peter Green.

I was fortunate enough to see the Peter York band in Massachusetts years ago and what a great night it was. The Monkees were far more than just the Pre-fab Four

Don't be in any doubt that the Monkees were not talented, they were immensely talented musicians, I love the vibe they created which became their signature sound. deepest sympathies on the passing of Peter Tork who died earlier today 21/02/19. Thank for the music.

What unfortunately prevented The Monkees early on from being taken seriously as a band that was say comparable to The Kinks, The Moody Blues, The Zombies, and other groups of their era was that they were essentially conceived and created for TV as somewhat a parody of The Beatles and the British Invasion and the fact they couldn't play any instruments. Over time, however, their music eventually cane to be evaluated on its merit and the members learned how to play instruments to supplement their live performances and allow them to be considered, at least in a basic sense, serious musicians. It is also important to note that their sound was reflective of the period in which they were first introduced and became popular and that, unlike other bands, they essentially went on a long hiatus, stopped recording, and fell out of the public eye. Nevertheless, Stepping Stone, Last Train to Clarksville and other songs from their repertoire showcased the range and versatility of Mickey Dolenz's voice and the harmonies provided by Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork, and Davey Jones, which although not very complex, still reflected a group that worked well together and evoked the yearning for a happier more peaceful world amid the tumult and turmoil of the 1960's and fueled events like the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock.

Seamusin very true. It didn’t help that they mimed badly on their TV show ( remember how strange the drum kit was set up ) & when they played l “Live “ they had a band playing behind a curtain .
@thekitowl4 жыл бұрын
Dave Radstock if the Monkeys were immensely talented, what does that make Jimi Hendrix & the rest. Their signature sound wasn’t created by them ( they did some playing on their last album ) it was session musicians & the producer. I still liked the songs though.
