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...

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.

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?

[@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.

[@RagingInsomniac]

[@remmymafia3889]

precisely- they had license to put out an album like the "White Album" , and 'X' amount of people were going to buy it blind. That's called influence of the times.

[@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.

[@jwt208]

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

[@urivan9613]

@@jwt208 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)

Paul McCartney who sang this song read something about a band called The Who saying that they I just made the most outrageous album ever. Paul McCartney said no no no and he wrote this song. It is the birth of heavy metal music. I'm glad you like it. You only have about a hundred 190 songs to go.. can't wait to see them.

[@Fool3SufferingFools]

Yeah, you're right, I think he was responding to how The Who described their song, not even responding to the song itself. They called it something like "the loudest, most raucous, dirtiest rock and roll thing we've ever done," and Paul got off on that description and said, "That's what we've got to do!"

[@genebaughbba3479]

@@paxonearth I could agree with that. But helter-skelter in particular was in response to a review that the who received on one of their albums. It made Paul competitive to make a more outrageous song. It's really about a carnival ride that involves a slide. The ride was called the Helter Skelter.

One of the greatest albums of all time, by the absolute greatest band of all time, for my money! This double album would be a great career for any other band! It has it all, from straight rockers, like "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me and My Monkey" "Back in the USSR" "Savoy Truffle" "Revolution 1" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", to quirky fun stuff like "Happiness is a Warm Gun" "Rocky Racoon" "Piggies" "Birthday" and "Why Don't We Do It In The Road" to reflective, beautifully melodic ballads, like "I Will" "Blackbird" and "Julia" which makes me want to cry! I am so glad to see you young folks discovering the absolute soundtrack of my youth, which I still enjoy just as much today! The White Album is in my CD player in the car right now! I would urge y'all to go back to the very beginning and listen to every bit of it! There is one helluva lot of greatness between "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and "Helter Skelter"!!!! Things will make much more sense too!

[@christophersessions3375]

In that time they recorded something like 12 albums, had 20 number 1 songs and 34 top 10 songs, and arguably launched at least 4 and as many as 7 new genres of music.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

Listen to the Beatles - ‘I want you’ could be considered the first doom metal tune

[@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.

Haze, You made my morning watching you get Helter Skelter and feel what The Beatles gave us to have for always. My daddy was a professional musician and moved our struggling family of seven from Rochester, NY, to LA burbs in '64. The AM radio went from a Beatle song to the Supremes, to The Kinks, to the Beach Boys, to The Temps, to Dylan, every genre all rotating and us kids back then had a beautiful mix of everything, and most of it was the naz! I've played bass and written and recorded music most of my life. McCartney and James Jamison, the genius bassist at Motown made me want to play bass and be in a band. Music is our gift from God, Haze, and we are bound to share it with joy, just like you're doing here. No two ways about it. Just listen to McCartney digging into his 4001 Rickenbacher bass with fulll compression through his Fender Bassman that was there in Abbey Road Studio. You can hear the guts. Helter Skelter is ocnsidered by many to be the first "punk rock" song. Like, The Beatles just decided, let's do this and then move on. McCartney had heard some people running their mouths about how Pete Townshend and The Who had such a baddass, hard sound. McCartney was as competitive as they come and wrote Helter Skelter to quiet down the peasants. My son, Louis, knows everything, right? He goes all the time east coast vs west coast rap and the 90's ruled. Okay, I hear a golden age, but that's just my take. He kids me about my story about how I heard The Sugarhill Gang's Rapper's Delight on the radio and went straight to the record store and got the single because I had never hear anyting like it and had to try and learn that bass line (and it wasn't easy). All I knew was I was hearing something amazing that I hadn't heard before. that's where it's at. God gave us music to help us through this tough life. Gave us dogs, too. I have two Akitas that never leave my side. Check out Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except For Me and My Monkey and Hey Bulldog for some more driving Beatle tunes, if you haven't already. God bless you and your's, Haze.

[@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?

[@debbiechang5781]

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

[@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..

[@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"

[@fgrady1]

Birthday, Revolution, Hey bulldog, Twist and Shout, Long Tall Sally, I’m Down -if you want to hear the Beatles tear the roof off the house!

[@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.

[@donlinnert9430]

If you want to see how Freaky diverse The Beatles were try Revolution #9 on the same album as Helter Skelter. It took me a long time and many times listening to it to realize how Great that song and future oriented that song is!

[@MsAppassionata]

Well, it’s not really a “song” but I’m probably one of the few people who actually likes it because of the way they played with the sound going from ear to ear when you listened with headphones. So many other artists have made use of that technique since then that it’s not even funny.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@thereunionparty]

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.

Some more great songs to react to (although I can't quite remember which ones you've done so far)... Help!, Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey, It's All Too Much, A Day In the Life, Something, Nowhere Man, I Want You (She's So Heavy), While My Guitar Gently Weeps (make sure it's the White Album version, the official music video is different version. Or react to both and compare) and SOOO many more. Like you mentioned, the Beatles did so many different styles and genres across their career... it's crazy. You really can't go wrong listening to anything. Have you reacted to Strawberry Fields Forever yet?

I'm so happy to see so many younger folks getting tuned in - turned on to the Beatles. I fell lucky to have been there from the start; I got to watch them and listen to the music as it was released. It was an absolutely AMAZING time to grow up in. Anyway... I suggest that you may enjoy these tunes from the Beatles; Any Time at All (A Hard Days Night - '64) I Feel Fine (Single - '64) Bad Boy (Beatles VI - '65) It's a cover tune, but they did it well. Nowhere Man (Rubber Soul - '65) She Said She Said (Revolver - '66) Tomorrow Never Knows (Revolver - '66) In my mind the most progressive song the Beatles ever did. Within You Without You (Sgt Peppers - '67) George turning everyone on to Eastern music. Flying (Magical Mystery Tour - '67) Aside The Inner Light, the only Beatle instrumental. While My Guitar Gently Weeps (The Beatles - '68) Eric Clapton plays the lead break for us. Yer Blues (The Beatles - '68) John playing his guitar with a bow. Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey (The Beatles - '68) Rock n Roll baby! Savoy Truffle (The Beatles - '68) One Groovy song. I LOVE those saxophones... Revolution (Single - '68) Beatles at their heaviest. Billy Preston cranks the keys for us. The second side of Abbey Road (Abbey Road - '69) Pure magic. There's no other word that comes to my mind. And it is the Beatles true Swan Song. Be sure to listen to ALL of it; anything else takes away too much. Old Brown Shoe (Single - '69) It's All Too Much (Yellow Submarine - '69) Psychedelia at it's finest. Across the Universe (Let It Be - '70) I've got 4 versions of this song; ALL of them are beautiful...just sayin' The Long and Winding Road (Let It Be - '70) A damn nice song for their (sort of) farewell album. I chose this selection, and believe me that I tried to keep it as short as I could, for the songs as being some of the ones that really stood out to me. They were soooo different than the majority of music being played back then. And you should consider that they did all of it in around 6 years. On 4 track machines. Sorry for the long post...

[@DaveLennonCopeland]

Hey dude... glad you are enjoying your further discovery of The Beatles. Helter Skelter is quite a heavy track compared to most of their stuff. I recommend this album by English rock group King Crimson, 'In the Court of the Crimson King', it is their debut studio album released in October 1969. The opening track '21st Century Schizoid Man' was sampled by Kanye West for his track 'Power'.
