No band deserves the label "The Best" more than The Beatles; the only reason people say otherwise is because they're too familiar. What genre of music do The Beatles play? They don't play genres, they bend music to their will and make new sounds. Listening to this in 1968 was like watching a UFO landing on your front lawn.

I understand that you're probably not knocking "I Want to Hold Your Hand", but I keep going back to that song and think that however good anyone might have been in 1963, no one could have come up with that song except the Beatles. Furthermore, almost 60 years after its release, it's difficult to see how it can be improved upon. Helter Skelter, written to prove that the Beatles could rock harder than The Who (in "I Can See for Miles"), has none of the sophistication and subtlety of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". As a show-off piece, though, it doesn't have to.

Check this out; it’s a creation of the Tavistock Institute. The “British Invasion” Was not grassroots. It was PLANNED. Documented Facts! Paul died Nov 9th 1964 (as they never toured lived after that date) the “Paul” u see today is actually William “Billy” Shears! He wrote a book describing the look alike contest they did to keep the “mania” going. That’s the “story” that’s not being told. If u look at the Album cover “Abbey Road” it’s a funeral procession. With Paul having bear feet & symbolism of being in a morgue. There are so many clues to this. But read the book by William Billy shears...

"Revolution" single version...another slab of Beatles' hard rock.

[@liannadunten7326]

The thing about the Beatles is that they went through so many musical phases (sugary pop, emo pop, psychedelic, crunchy rock, folk rock, etc.), it's hard to say what their style even is. They were the first band that was so monumentally successful, people would buy their albums no matter what they did, which gave them enormous freedom to experiment and evolve rather than turning out album after album of basically the same thing.

[@x00p3]

Probably the first prog band.

[@Allareone2]

Personally, I think it is inaccurate to classify the Beatles as a "rock" band. Their music crossed many different genres, only one of which was rock. I prefer to think of the Beatles as the best band in the history of popular music--and by a very wide margin.

At the end of 1968 the Rolling Stones held a huge Rock & Roll Circus concert featuring pretty much all the other great bands of the time. John Lennon showed up and it was like god walking the earth.

[@futurereflections4097]

John was such an arrogant asshole but damn did he back it up

[@urivan9613]

Just a bit of context: This song came out in 1968. Fellow British bands Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath (who are considered to be pioneers of the hard rock/heavy metal sub-genre) put out their first albums at 1969 and 1970 respectively. I'm not sure if this is the first heavy metal song but it shows you how much of a music visionary Paul McCartney was.

[@On_Dust]

A band called the Nice released an album in '67 with a song called 'Bonnie K'. I think this song is the perfect proto metal song. Especially for '67. Although '68 was a good year for heavy music, nothing could beat Blue Cheer's heavy song 'Come And Get It'. If someone came up to me and told me it was an mc5 song, i would believe it.

[@twj2002]

The fast version of revolution was recorded couple months before Helter skelter. Is Revolution the first metal song? I think so.

[@urivan9613]

@@twj2002 Revolution is definitely not a metal song in my opinion. There is pretty heavy distortion on the guitar but Lennon's vocal delivery is not forceful enough. McCartney on the other side goes all out vocally on Helter Skelter.

[@ewest14]

Paul’s ability to see where music is going and be ahead for the times is mind blowing. Examples are his tape loops on Tomorrow Never Knows, Helter Skelter, lofi and DIY sound with his first solo album McCartney, indie pop with Ram (arguably the first indie pop album), and McCartney II (influenced electronica, bedroom pop, and synth pop)

[@Allareone2]

Another proto-metal song was "Twenty-First Century Schizoid Man" by King Crimson, which was released on the "The Court of the Crimson King" album in 1969. Was that song inspired by "Helter Skelter?" Don't know. I really liked that song and listened to it often back in the day.

Other songs that display their amazing versatility: 'Eleanor Rigby', 'Tomorrow Never Knows', 'Girl', 'Yer Blues', 'It's All Too Much', 'Revolution 9', 'Love You To', 'She's Leaving Home', 'Being For The Benefit of Mr Kite', 'Ob-la-Di Ob-la-Da', 'Happiness is a Warm Gun', and 'Because'. These songs exhibit The Beatles performing genres like classical, psychedelia, experimental, euro-waltz, hard blues, acid rock, avant-garde, Indian, circus, ska, doo-wop, and harmony-based.

[@Isleofskye]

True and 200 others :)

[@samsowden]

Except ob la di ob la da can die in a fire. I love Paul, but seriously.

[@billysequins]

"It's coming BACK??!!" Haha just knew he was gonna say that 🤣

[@debbiechang5781]

The next Beatles song you hear will never sound like the last one you heard. That’s all you need to know 🌺✌️

[@j.andrewhanny2152]

This is a testament to how quickly the Beatles helped morph rock music. I mean they were only together for like six years before coming out with this. I think of Marty McFly "I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are going to love it"

[@alanfriesen9837]

You can spend a lifetime discovering the Beatles, and another discovering all the stuff these guys did on their own.

[@macmusic08]

Hard to believe that’s the same guy who sang “Yesterday” and “I Will”. Paul McCartney is just unreal. Sometimes I think he might be an alien.

[@TheGuerillapatriot]

Nah, it's the best band ever.

[@martingreen2633]

Consider this ...... Paul Macartney was the lead vocal on this and his song yesterday

[@martingreen2633]

His range is insane

[@EmerRaph]

He recorded Yesterday & I'm Down on the same day. Bit of a difference there too.

An inferior group would have taken this as their "sound" and made numerous variations on this theme, and no doubt would have gained a number of dedicated followers who only wanted to hear this type of music. But the Beatles were so eclectic, they could do anything. It's one of the reasons why some people are indifferent to them, because they could never be pinned down into one genre.

[@First-Name--Last-Name]

Beatlesque

[@mavjimbo]

Well stated

[@NigelT57]

Daltrey says 'we have just made the loudest song ever made'. MacCartney says - We'll see about that.

[@patrick1muldoon]

Love your reactions! I agree on 'I Want You (She's so Heavy)', you have to check that one out from the Abbey Road album in 1969. A little long but heavy, great guitar work, incredible song and once again different. The Beatles are the Kings of having different styles of music. Also very much agree on 'Hey Bulldog' from the Yellow Submarine album, once again 1969 (they released almost 2 albums per year in their 7 year reign from 1963 to 1970), that has to be on your list too if you can. Many thanks!

[@dantastic6262]

Birth is beautiful thing.... The birth of Heavy Metal is no exception!

[@themadcow71]

Tomorrow Never Knows is another groundbreaking Beatle song that will make you swallow your tongue.

[@diannestucki5732]

There is literally an entire Beatles compilation called Rock and Roll Music.

[@fidge54]

You like this? Try Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey. Another badass rocker. Helter Skelter was Paul's song. Monkey is John's. Same White album

[@paulcollins7185]

Try listening to; "It's all too much", "Yer Blues", "Revolution" B-Side of the Hey Jude single. "Birthday", "I've Got a feeling", "Hey Bulldog", "I want You (She's so heavy)", "Why don't we do it in the road", "Don't let me Down". They are the most diverse band ever!

[@c2itccase9]

McCartney: the best, most versatile rock voice of and for all time.

[@MrAdriaxe]

I think Lennon's is.

[@altar964]

@@MrAdriaxe As creativity Lennon was a miracle that made the Beatles a miracle!

[@thesilvershining]

Absolutely. As good as Lennon was, Paul could do absolutely anything with his voice. The most beautiful ballads, the scratchiest blues, the HEAVY blues, the metal/punk screeching. Literally anything. My favorite singer of all time.

[@revanasywal]

​@@MrAdriaxeMcCartney vocal is more versatile than Lennon

[@bmailb]

I agree with both of you, John had a better rocker voice, his bluesy break had a bit more soul, but he didn't even hold a candle to the range of singing that Paul could perform, he is like the Rich Little of singers. (those of you who dont get the reference he was a gifted impressionist) @@MrAdriaxe

[@Johnadams20760]

the beatles invented heavy metal with this song

[@johnperkins9155]

Must say I love your reactions to the Beatles. The Beatles are the most diverse and amazing recording artists ever. Even after all this time there songs still sound good and can see why they have such a massive fan base. There are many other good bands but the Beatles they are miles ahead of everyone.. I want you from Abbey Road is another heavy track you must listen and react to when you can !!! A great song to..

[@GJRight]

Check out “Rain”. The video where the boys are all playing together in the video. Ringo says it’s his favorite song where he turns up the drums more than usual. I think you’ll like it.

[@j.c.a2872]

if you have ANY doubts about the Beatles, check out A Day in the Life for a mind blowing experience !!!!!!

[@thesilvershining]

Arguably their best song. Masterpiece of epic proportions!

[@danieljaquier7952]

I love your Beatles love BTW, I first heard them at age in Jersey City NJ and fell in love with their simple treatment of complex harmonies and chord structure. later on I heard Funkadelic and found out George Clinton was a big fan of Sgt Pepper!

[@robertlear2735]

A helter skelter is an amusement ride with a slide built in a spiral around a high tower. Users climb up inside the tower and slide down the outside, usually on a mat or hessian (burlap) sack. Typically, the ride will be of wooden construction and, in the case of fairground versions, designed to be disassembled to facilitate transportation between sites. The term is primarily used in the United Kingdom.

[@LEPersonal-pf5wz]

GREAT REACTION! lol. love it.

[@jmelio1]

lol.....that famous line at the end in this song ..'I got blisters on me fingers'...haha. This album alone has many different styles. "Glass Onion', I'm So Tired', 'Back in the USSR', 'Happiness is a Warm Gun', While My Guitar Gently Weeps', 'Birthday'. etc, etc, etc. Their White album is filled with classics. All their albums are right from the beginning.

[@dlc01]

Check out "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey"; "Drive My Car"; "Hey Bulldog"; "I Want You (She's so Heavy)"; and their most underrated song, "Bad Boy"

[@jimdev81]

Dude, I love watching you turn on to these songs! I Am The Walrus is another great song to check out!

[@SpiroFleecy]

Your reaction cracks me up lol😂

[@throwabrick]

Another cool edgy one is Taxman by George Harrison. It's punchy, groovy, and has some great jangly dissonance. One of my faves. For a really mellow, trippy groove, check out Tomorrow Never Knows, both of those tracks are from the album Revolver.

[@MsAppassionata]

Someone commenting on another Beatles video said they thought that Taxman was a throwaway, unimportant song. I told him he was nuts.

[@throwabrick]

@@MsAppassionata It sounds as fresh today as the day it was written. Tight, aggressive groove with that perfect bass sound, the crashing guitars, Ringo dragging the beat, and that awesome weird guitar solo by Paul. What's not to like?

[@jbrhel]

You're learning man. Keep listening.

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

other heavy Beatle songs... Revolution, And Your Bird Can Sing, Paperback Writer, Rain, A Hard Day's Night, Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey, I'm Down... if you listen to Revolution, listen to the version that was released as a single, which is better than the version on the White Album.

[@ontrack16]

John on 6-string bass!! i like the Mono mix of this song but you get the idea (tho the Mono mix excludes Ringo's exclamation at the end :). I now primarily listen to their Mono mixes (they spent much more time on them and a lot more comes out.. plus Stereo can be distracting as Neil Young put it. The Mono mixes miss nothing and add more. Unfortunately, the Get Back/Don't Let Me Down single was their last Mono mix. But The White Album in itself has so many different sounds and effects not included in the Stereo mix as goes many of their other songs. The Mono mixes also eliminate the fake-Stereo of the time putting vocals on one-side and instruments on the other or variations as such. Just FYI from one Beatle fanatic to others out there. :) Thank you again HazeBruv! Much Love from California Bay Area, Oakland! Peace Brother God bless

[@pauldashed]

Try I want you (she's so heavy) another intense heavy song

[@platterjockey]

The Beatles did an amazing transformation in sound and songwriting in just four years. That's pretty amazing when you consider that some bands haven't changed their sound for decades. But, that was the 60s! I would love for every reaction youtuber to listen to music in sequence starting from the mid-50s.

[@gregoryeatroff8608]

The Beatles could do any style. Country, Blues, Psychadelia, Motown, Bubblegum Pop, Classical Fusion, World Music (Harrison loved Indian music, McCartney played with Caribbean influences in "Obladi, Obladah," etc.)... Their versatility is mind-blowing.

[@captaincook7663]

I used to dislike the Beatles til I found out that they had a hand in the creation of metal now I think they are the most influential band ever.

[@charliecochran3035]

Is that not fun as hell? The funny thing about Paul is that, if he chose, he could generate songs like this in his sleep. He was always reaching for something different. I don't like the avant-garde stuff or the Honey Pie type nonsense. I'll take a hard rocker every time though. Also, She's So Heavy and the single version of Revolution (b side of Hey Jude) are hard rockers too.

[@Akchun21]

Nothing wrong with his avant garde and honey pie. If you don't like it fine but to call it nonsense is just plain ignorance and stupidity or both.

[@thesilvershining]

I love Honey Pie. Paul is **extremely** versatile and dabbled in all genres including ska. Show some respect, lol.

[@Bigdong-kl2fh]

Here I am watching your stuff 3 years later just because of the appreciation you show for the genius of these four lads.

[@bryanbenn4018]

This song was written in response to a song by The Who. I think it was McCartney who was told about this really heavy song The Who had written, and The Beatles took it upon themselves to try to write something louder and heavier.

[@carls1959]

Welcome to the fan club. Good reaction. The Beatle had a formula to their success. Their first 4 albums were just love songs. They knew that if they captured the girls, that the boys would follow. Once they had the fans, they explored different musical styles. It was sad to see, when they broke up. But, at least their not out there doing "Depends and Poly-Grip" tours like the Stones.

[@jbqu3142]

The Beatles: unique, original, diverse, fabulous, irreplaceable, genius X 4 , never surpassed, will never be surpassed. Best band ever, I've been listening them since 1963, age 8. Their music is the soundtrack of my life, and of the life of millions. About 75 of their songs are my favorites. What did I say? All their songs are my favorites, some are more favorite than others. Even the most insignifiant ones are now classics i.e. Yellow Submarine, Her Majesty, etc. Has someone surpassed Beethoven.....or Mozart....? No, they are unique, so are The Beatles. Number 9 Beatles fan from Montreal.

[@jankvietok2811]

It is like MJ in basketball, WG in Ice Hokey, Pele in football, Mozart in classic music, Mercedes in automotive, etc. There are others top , but only one is the best !

[@escorpioomega2111]

Hello man I really enjoy with your Beatles reaction You have a lot of magnificent songs to discover, really masterpieces Powerfull songs that: I saw her standing there All my loving She loves you A hard day's night Help I feel fine Day tripper (from the earliest years of Beatlemania 1963/1966) and more sofisticaded songs in 1966/70 like It's all too much Magical Mystery Tour Back in the USSR Revolution Birthday and all the B-side from Abbey Road album specialy the last meddley "Golden slumbers / Carry that weight / The end"

[@jimnicosia5934]

HazeBruv, They could play anything.

[@stevenmurano7863]

Diverse. yes. one of the key elements for being considered GOAT in my book....

[@stretchwith]

When you listen to Beatles albums from first to last, their music evolves each time. Some say this is the first heavy metal song.
