[@canalesworks1247]

Agreed. It was like a family fight, a quarrel among brothers. None of us really understand it. They lived on top of each other for a decade. Part of the magic of the band was that it didn't last long enough for the quality to drop off. As a song writing machine the Beatles were at the height of their powers when they recorded Abbey Road. Even Let It Be is a fantastic album when compared to their contemporaries. George's All Things Must Past is a career defining work, but he never again captured quite that kind of magic again. George was a fabulous songwriter in his own right and his well loved songs from the Beatles era deserve the respect that they now enjoy. He wasn't perfect however and there were many subpar tunes as well. That being said I'd rather listen to my least favorite George song than my favorite Stones song.

Songwriter George was not a hit making machine. John and Paul were. They were more experienced by a lot from record # 1. He acted like it was only John and Paul shutting his tunes out. The record company knew where the pot of gold was from the beginning. The 2 he got on Abbey Road were neck and neck with John and Paul's. Everyone says 'he had to write on his own'. John and Paul came together with ideas already formed, some complete, some not. They rarely collaborated from scratch. They respected each other as writers to share writing credit on everything. Had George written blockbusters like them, it would have been shared 3 ways. Also, in truth - he was nowhere near the vocalist they both were.

[@Rockstaralan]

It’s all opinions anyway but the Beatles were more about lyrics and production than singing. I only liked early Paul’s voice and found him hard to listen to post Beatles.

[@ericbgordon1575]

The whole issue about Lennon and McCartney looking down on George is one of the reasons why he's my favorite of the four Beatles. It's not just that he was such a good musician. The underdog mentality resonates with me it's also a reason why founding Chicago guitar player Terry Kath is one of my favorite musicians he was a splendid guitarist, singer and composer, but he ended up getting squashed by the commercialization of the band the usage of the Chicago logo for anonymity that had the double-edged outcome of obscuring him as a musician and the eventual turn of events that led to Peter Cetera singing ballads that became the biggest hits. It might have been a self-inflicted, accidental gunshot wound that finished Terry off, but it was adjunct to all the difficulties he was living with, difficulties that weren't helped by him indulging in drugs and alcohol.

[@roboi2241]

Terry Kath was wasted on that band after 1970. Few people today recognize his brilliance because it got swallowed up in that band and the later Cetera stuff is what most people associate Chicago with. If You Leave Me Now introduced me to the band in 76 and I must admit that was a great song but the 80s stuff kind of kick started all that pristine over the top 80/90s ballad car music I've always had a horror of.

He never "hated" john. He was a little pissed because in 1974, George was doing a HUGE tour. He was a little sick and it was going badly so he asked John to do a show with him and John, who was with May Pang, wouldn't. John showed up backstage at the L.A. show and George yelled at him "I stood by you thru EVERYTHING"! "Thru all the Apple business, I went along with YOU". John had sunglasses on and George said "I want to see your eyes John" and George ripped his glasses off. John did nothing. Said nothing. This encounter was written about by May Pang in her book "Loving John".

There is a story from one of George’s US solo tours that is very telling of John’s relationship with George. John and Yoko were in the audience at one of the tour dates. One of George’s numbers was a ”cover” of John’s Beatle track ”In my life” with lyrics slightly altered. Afterwards, John went backstage absolutely furious. He yelled at George and forbade him to ever do a Lennon-McCartney number again. George was shocked and devastated. Lennon a) couldn’t allow George to enjoy this brief moment in the spotlight, b) wouldn’t acknowledge him as a fellow Beatle c) failed to realize that the ”cover” (which was indeed quite awful) was a loving tribute to him rather than an attempt to steal something. John was unfortunately highly narcissistic (possibly borderline) and had a tendency to project his feelings of jealousy onto others.

In John’s case the narcissism was on a pathological level IMO. He constantly suspected the worst of people and assumed they were jealous or wanted to take advantage of him. In many cases he had these ideas about people who actually loved and supported him, like Brian Epstein, George Martin, and in this case George Harrison.

George whined and moaned about being oppressed by J & P, but he could've left the band at any time during their run.

I can see why he might have felt that way ….

[@lionheartroar3104]

Even best friends talk about each other. These guys are still under a magnifying glass. Stop the negativity and enjoy the music for a change.

[@cisum1111]

I think myself and many others felt the loss of John more than George did. I cried and actually felt I had lost a very good friend who no one else could replace. When George died I felt very little. Although I think some of George's songs were my favorites, I didn't feel George had the same love for people that John did. I think he was truly missed by many millions and the world hasn't been the same since. We lost the greatest person the world had. It has been horrible since

[@LoneJedi]

IMO George was the the only replaceable Beatle. He had a few great songs in very late Beatles years. Besides that, his guitar work wasn't that great, especially during the early years. Say, if Clapton, Gilmour or Beck had joined John's band in 1963, the quality of Beatles music wouldn't have been any inferior.

[@FritzFritzarini]

I loved George, and I can certainly understand his feeling a bit...stifled in the Beatles, especially toward the end. But the fact is, he was brought into the band as a lead guitarist/back up vocalist/occasional lead vocalist, but NOT as a songwriter. That was always John and Paul's realm. It's understandable his wanting to spread his wings but the resentment he felt toward John and Paul for his 'quota of one or two tunes per album' was misplaced in my opinion.

True that John, Paul and George all went years without speaking. John was well known to be a difficult person to be around. It's like the Star Trek syndrome. Once the supporting players begin listening to fans who tell them they were just as important as the stars, then the resentment sets in.

[@lennybustratt7024]

Nah, I still think the Beatles loved each other a lot, the thing I think George hated was being overshadowed by John and Paul and maybe a bit jealous that he didn't get "included" by John and Paul because "They were one, they were John and Paul" as he said. I think that's hard not to get tired or jealous of. George was just as much of a king as the other three, they had their own individual talents, let's just appreciate that.

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

IT WAS JOHN WHO VERY QUICKLY WANTED TO REPLACE HIM WITH ERIC CLAPTON. LITTLE DID HE KNOW HIS HOUSE OF CARDS WAS SOON TO COLLAPSE !

Yes, I have always thought this. He said when John died he just went back to sleep - did not care one bit. Folks made excuses, saying it was shock - but I think he did not like John and hated Yoko. John pushed him into the background and George wanted to be equal and not just a backing band guitar player.

Credits to that lady, she's asking some quite difficult questions. Everyone has their perspective, his own is doubtless what is most useful for him. My own is George should thank the day he met John and Paul. And yeah he may have been happier as a lorry driver. The pain and misery of being a Beatle, yeah man, like not buying that now, wasn't buying it 50 years ago. And as compared to WHAT ? I could quickly show him some actual pain and misery, quite a bit removed from the pain and misery of being famous.

George und McCartney hätten es geschafft, ohne deren Einfluss wäre Lennon beim Alkohol, Rock ’n’ Roll, Leder und Schmalztolle geblieben.

[@markdoughty8780]

@@jensjanssen5076 Yes, I think John was the last to come around to the image that Brain Epstein, and to a lesser extent Paul, wanted to cultivate for The Beatles: a clean-cut image in suits with the 'boys next door' attitude. Once Brian had tragically died after The Beatles had given up touring, they had more license to drop that Image and to experiment (more), both fashion-wise and musically. Besides this, the times and tastes, in music, were changing anyway. I'm just thankful it all came together like it did and they left us with such a fantastic and unparalleled musical legacy.

[@itinerantpatriot1196]

None of the beatles truly hated eachother at all. Paul and John reconciled any issues they had and talked about a possible reunion them he got shot.

Beyond their musical genius, John and Paul were far from perfect. I can understand George feelings, but many times life puts you in frustrating situations. He could have contemplated the idea of leaving the band and go his own. But he didn’t.

[@AsWellYouShould]

The man would still be in Liverpool if it weren't for the more talented songwriters and singers, John and Paul. Sorry, George. Like Pete Best, you were expendable. George would played around the clubs like the other Liverpool bands before doing something else in 1966. The first British invasion had peaked by then. He might have had some solo success by the late 60s and early 70s. But he wouldn't even have ever attempted to write a song were it not for the brilliant John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

[@essessessesq]

i liked George's very HUMBLE story he told during the 1990s ANTHOLOGY show when he and Pail and Ringo were sitting and discussing the awe they felt when they met Elvis at his mansion in 1965...... and they just stared at him, unable to speak, until Elvis broke the ice by joking "If y'all boys are just a'goin' to sit there and gawk at me, then ah'm goin' up ta bed"...they all laughed and then started talking about music...Elvis had been playing a a Fender electric bass guitar when the Beatles came in, and now he showed it to Paul, who played a Hohner....the night went well.....So George next then told during "Anthology" how he went to see Elvis perform years in Vegas in the mid 1970s...."I got past security because Elvis's old friend who led his security recognized me and let me in. Elvis's dressing room was gigantic, and he had old friends and family and various celebrities milling about talking to one another. I walked up to Elvis, who looked magnificent in his stage costume, tall, hair combed up and back. I felt like a snotty-nosed little kid as i said "Elvis, i don't know if you will remember me, we met 10 or so years ago..." "Elvis looked down from his height and said "'Course i remember you!" and we talked about old songs we both liked and then it was ''goodbye'' and he was gone. I still don't know if he really remembered me from our many years earlier meeting at his mansion."

[@Peppers19781978]

George wrote one of the best tributes to John in 1981: "All Those Years Ago" I'm shouting all about love While they treated you like a dog When you were the one who had made it so clear All those years ago I'm talking all about how to give They don't act with much honesty But you point the way to the truth when you say All you need is love Living with good and bad I've always looked up to you Now we're left cold and sad By someone the devil's best friend Someone who offended all We're living in a bad dream They've forgotten all about mankind And you were the one they backed up to the wall All those years ago You were the one who Imagined it all All those years ago Deep in the darkest night I send out a prayer to you Now in the world of light Where the spirit free of the lies And all else that we despised They've forgotten all about God He's the only reason we exist Yet you were the one that they said was so weird All those years ago You said it all though not many had ears All those years ago You had control of our smiles and our tears All those years ago
