FIRST TIME REACTING to THE BEATLES - HEY JUDE

[@vincentvancraig]

The Beatles had a "style" yet somehow every song is totally different....they were insane. Never trust anyone who says they dont like the beatles.

[@PeterBuwen]

The Beatles came BEFORE rock was differentiated into different genres. Their music was often the reason for the creation of a new rock genre. No one has influenced rock and pop music as much as these four from Liverpool, England.

[@innertube47]

“says” - exactly

[@spookyryu]

more like they were geniuses

[@proofprof50]

I had a friend who just went off on me when I told her all the Beatles musicology. She said that she thought that the Beatles were overrated, and I just laughed. She thought I was being pedantic.

[@NickNack-l4q]

@@proofprof50 I find that the people I run into, who say they are overrated (not that it has happened often), base their statements on a couple of hits and think that is all there is to the Beatles. They often have no idea of their history and the incredible variety in their songs, and how their songs seem to touch so many people in a way that no other bands can do, even after all these years. I remember the White Album and Abbey Road being played a lot in my childhood home, and what I noticed was that there was something in there for everybody; little ones, teenagers, mums, dads, grandmas and grandpas. The development of their sound and songs in only six years is mind boggling. They have been with me all my life and what a joy that has been.

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

what many still don't understand about the beatles is that they invited EVERYONE to enjoy them. they wrote songs in french, they wrote a song about the soviet union, they wrote kids songs, they wrote songs about old people, they recorded german versions of 2 of their biggest early hits ("she loves you" and "i want to hold your hand"). they added indian instruments to some of their songs, sometines horns. they wrote songs for hippies and squares, they covered motown songs appealing directly to blacks. they delved into country and western and even comedy songs. they wrote love songs and protest songs. acid rock and tin pan alley type songs. they were hard core rockers and melodic balladeers. the WHOLE WORLD was invited to enjoy the special talent and charm the beatles had offer. they were very special indeed.

It was either '87 or '88, I was a teen then, and someone introduced me for the first time to the Beatles. This was the first song I heard that day (on a LP record). I could not yet understand a word of English but... nonetheless I was hooked. It would be years before I could know the lyrics. Later I would also find out that John had already died, it broke my heart, probably in the same way that it broke all the other fans back in December 1980 when he was shot dead. The Beatles remain to this day my favourite band.

In 7 years of recording The Beatles produced more brilliance than others could in a lifetime. They were a major pivot point in music only equaled by the likes of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. The Beatles sit alone in the rock era looking down from the mountain at everybody else. As far as bands go, they are at the ludicrous level.

[@tdgallagher218]

The reason McCartney looks pissed is because his microphone was no longer in front of him. I think the old guy lost his footing, and as he tried to hold onto something, somehow he inadvertently moved the microphone. Great reaction to a classc song. I am confident you will love most-if not all-the songs by The Beatles. They are still enjoyed by many to this day, even though they broke up 54 yrs ago. Their recording career lasted only 7-1/2 years, but they developed at an amazing pace and sounded progressively better with each new release. They were an undeniable force and nobody in the music industry could keep up with them. Best of luck with your reactions.

[@christopherone1]

I always wondered what it was like for John to hear this amazing song sung and written by Paul to and about John's son. Wonder if John felt grateful to Paul for trying to ease the pain of divorce, a new mother, etc. At this point, they didn't enjoy performing live in front of an audience, fans anymore...and this was their last one. It's was so chaotic.

Hi lovely Steph! The Beatles wry sense of humour was 2nd only to their music. That was them being silly with the false start's to this beautiful song firstly playing like a cheap lounge act, and then singing and playing off key, hehe. I watched you fall in love with Paul and those soft puppy dog eyes, and I'm sooooo JEALOUS! But then again you seemed just a wee bit envious of how close to Paul that girl was able to get. LOL. But really joking aside it was great to see how this classic song and the video brought you so much joy and emotions. I predict that people will be loving the Beatles music until the end of time!

I was 10 years old when The Beatles first came to America. My sister who was 15 like so many girls went absolutely bonkers over them. By the time she was 18 she had every inch of her bedroom walls covered with their pictures.

[@papercup2517]

I think you might enjoy seeing them in performance when they were just beginning to hit the big-time - check out their whole set from the 'Drop-In' show on Swedish TV from 1963. It's short enough to easily watch in one sitting, but has quite a few of their early hits and a rip-roaring Little Richard cover by Paul to finish. Watching the whole thing, you can see how they won over an initially quite reserved audience, many of whom didn't know anything about them before this show. The sound is all out of balance but for some reason, it's still my favourite early recorded performance by them - so full of life and energy, hungry for success, pulling out all the stops to win over their audience. (And, so cute, of course!)

[@danielolson5378]

The Swedish singer Lill Babs was the main artist for that episode of Drop-In and Beatles were just 4 quite unknown lads from Liverpool. Jump forward to one year then they had become the biggest band in the world!

[@270yis7]

Steph, if you want to go down this rabbit hole, here's the road map: PLEASE PLEASE ME (1963), WITH THE BEATLES (1963), A HARD DAY'S NIGHT (1964), BEATLES FOR SALE (1964), HELP! (1965), RUBBER SOUL (1965), REVOLVER (1966), SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (1967), MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR (1967), YELLOW SUBMARINE (1968), THE BEATLES (aka THE WHITE ALBUM, 1968), ABBEY ROAD (1969), LET IT BE (1970). After these main albums, listen to PAST MASTERS Vol. 1 and 2, compiling all their hit singles (such as this one you just reacted to) that weren't included on the albums. It's 300 or so songs that transformed music forever.

He's Billy Davis, a streetbusker, who managed, to get into the band's entourage during the filming of the Beatles' TV movie Magical Mystery Tour in 1967. Since the Beatles always had a certain faible for unusual people, he was occasionally allowed, to hang out with the "Fab Four".

Without the Beatles we wouldn't have has so many great 70's rock bands. Loads of guys were inspired by them and started their own bands in their garages. They saw the girls going crazy and wanted to be like them. Everyone had Beatles haircut. The whole world was crazy about them. "The Beatles are the best-selling music act of all time, with estimated sales of 600 million units worldwide. They hold the record for most number-one albums on the UK Albums Chart (15), most number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (20), and most singles sold in the UK (21.9 million). The band received many accolades, including seven Grammy Awards, four Brit Awards, an Academy Award (for Best Original Song Score for the 1970 film Let It Be) and fifteen Ivor Novello Awards." -Wikipedia "Half a century after their breakup, The Beatles were still the biggest rock band of 2020, shifting 1.094 million album-equivalent units through the first six months of the year, 326,000 units ahead of the genre’s second-place finisher, Queen. The Fab Four also had the fifth-bestselling vinyl album of the year, selling 54,000 copies of their 1969 opus Abbey Road. They had good company in the vinyl category, including fellow classic rock icons Queen and Pink Floyd, pop supernova Billie Eilish and retro-rock heartthrob Harry Styles. The Beatles also perform exceptionally well on streaming services, with many songs racking up hundreds of millions of plays." -Forbes

Hello Steph - you were obviously very enthusiastic about the song, or rather the Beatles. Can you imagine what it was like, how - especially - the girls were crazy about the "mop tops". That was new... They started their career in Germany (my home country) - in the "Star Club" in Hamburg. They started in Liverpool in the 60s, but they really got going with the song "Love Me Do" I hearded the Beatles (I Wanna Hold Your Hand" for the first time in 1966 (I was 15 years old then), I was immediately enthusiastic - today I am 73 years old and still a fan of the group. Watch the film "Yellow Submarine" and listen to the songs from the LP "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" - almost every song is a worldwide hit and my absolute favorite.
