LED ZEPPELIN I TOMORROW! Edit: I decided instead of going right into the solo work, I might as well listen to every Beatles album first So next week will start the "Beatles Marathon" I'll be reacting to every album from Please Please Me to Revolver, since I already know Sgt. Pepper's and MMT i'll drop actual reviews for those albums, then finish it off with a Let It Be Reaction 🙏🏾 Like, Comment, Subscribe ✅

Rubber Soul and Abbey Road are my two favorite Beatles albums. If you liked that clip of the Artic Monkeys, you should check that whole album out. I also highly recommend diving into The Who. I think bands are best. Done chronologically, so you can hear them grow.

The most impressive thing about Ringo's drumming is that he is a human metronome. Remember the lack of technology they could employ - they didn't have click tracks and the in-ear monitors and all that. When a group plays live, they almost always start unintentionally speeding up and playing faster by the end of a song than they were in the beginning. But Ringo stayed in perfect time, all the time. When you consider that during their touring years they couldn't even hear each other play because of the deafening screaming -- this is miraculous.

They actually did have click tracks then but Ringo refused to use them. (Except on some of those remixes in the 90's. He complained about the ELO guy putting them on "the grid".)

"Why is it always a juxtapostion when it comes to The Beatles". I think that was a Paul thing. A heavy song (Helter Skelter) about a kids ride. A "Granny" song (Maxwell's Silver Hammer) about a psycho murderer. I think Paul liked that mis-direction. John was the opposite. Sad song (Julia) about a sad thing (his Mom's death). A heavy blues song (Yer Blues) about a heavy topic (depression, suicide). When you get into their solo work you'll find that same difference between them. (Check out "God" by Lennon and then "Silly Love Songs" by Paul for total opposite vibes) But it's not that one thing is better than the other. It's just who they are as people. Both wrote great lyrics sometimes. Both wrote great melodies and chord progressions. And both loved rock n' roll and music in general. But they had completely different approaches to the content of the actual music & lyrics.

Charlie didn't believe everything he said. He used his followers' love of the Beatles to influence them. The Beatles as the four horsemen of the apocalypse goes a little deeper too. He drew a parallel between the Beatles' Revolution #9 and the Bibles' Revelation 9. Locusts (beetles) with the face of men but hair like women. Breastplates of metal (electric guitars). Some crazy stuff.

"CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties" is a 2019 nonfiction book written by Tom O'Neill with Dan Piepenbring. The book presents O'Neill's research into the background and motives for the Tate-LaBianca murders committed by the Manson Family in 1969. (Wikipedia) Suffice to say: There were CIA operatives who utilized the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic which was frequented by Charlie and his "girls" in the year following Charlie's release from prison, before moving to the L.A. area to arrange the murders. The L.A. prosecutor (and author of the very famous book Helter Skelter) of the Manson case, Vincent Bugliosi, was NOT a good guy...

I recently discovered your channel and subscribed before the first video I watched was over. Your reactions are excellent in analyzing, articulating, and every other way. I am amazed at the incite you have because you are so young! I was born in 1960. In those days, there was no filter for violence in what was shown on TV news. As a young child, I remember the assassinations of Dr. King and the Kennedys, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Vietnam War protests. It was a scary and chaotic time, especially through the eyes of a young child. But then there was the music! It was an explosive musical renaissance that inspired a generation-- from beach music to Mowtown, from jazz to Soul, from dance music to hard rock, from folk to the British Invasion. One of my earliest memories is seeing the Beatles land in America and play on Ed Sullivan when I was just four-years-old. All of that had a huge impact on me for having a heart for the underdog, truth, the underprivileged, and racial justice. Please review the new Beatles song and video Now and Then. As a true beatles fan, you will be touched deeply, brother.

One Beatles song you have to hear is “Rain”. It’s the first time that back-masking was used. Back-masking is when they played music and after it was put on tape, they then recorded it backwards. Even at the end of the song Johns voice is backwards. It’s pretty cool

Bands today for the most part need a click track in there ear in order to keep the timing of the song. I was in a couple of garage bands, and the biggest issue was the band would keep time with the drummer, and the drummers all had the same problem, they sped up the timing of the song to the point where the end of the song was much faster than it was in the beginning. An example is the band "Rush", Neal Pert, the drummer, had to have a click track to stay in time. Ringo needed nothing, his timing was flawless, that's why he was a great drummer. In fact, Ringo was left handed, but he played a right handed drum kit! He was a great drummer.

Helter Skelter is about an amusement park slide (when I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide), and it’s about whether he’ll have sex with a woman (do you, don’t you want me to make you) but Paul’s said it was also about the “fall of Rome.” His and other Beatles songs can often be interpreted in different ways.

You should seek out Helter Skelter Take 2. The full version is 13 min, but there is an edited version of 5 min on Anthology 3. This version is much slower. The 27 min version has not been released. The fast version of Helter Skelter (album version) was recorded later than these slow longer versions. There was also a movie about Manson called Helter Skelter.

READ THE FIRST LYRICS OF THE SONG, and Paul is CLEARLY talking about the SLIDE.

In some circles the Beatles were magic somehow. I, too, was convinced there was something more going on. Their music was great and completely refreshing from what came before. But those lyrics, they were good and meaningful. John also had two best-selling and well-praised books with his own peculiar brand of prose. None of them could read or write music and yet they still managed to write their own brilliant music. And, they kept betting better. They seemed magical. People who were swept up by this began to look for hidden messages in their lyrics. The most famous mystery is probably the 'Paul Is Dead' conspiracy. I admit to being spooked by that one myself, then. My friends and I would press our ears to the radio (no stereo yet) to pick up that fade out on 'Strawberry Fields Forever', for example. What did John say? Then they began doing things with recording backwards. Well, if you can reverse the sound one-way, you can always reverse it again to hear it that way. When doing this, a hated piece like 'Revolution 9' suddenly takes on a whole new meaning, especially in the 'Paul Is Dead' saga. As it allegedly turns out, 'Number Nine Number Nine' is not what you think it is. The sound collage played forward that you didn't care for when reversed was the sound of a crashing car, a fire, and Paul screaming 'Let Me Out!!'. It's actually John, of course, but you know Beatles fans and conspiracy theorists. John must have put this together because of all the guilt he felt about knowing Paul is dead and keeping it secret from the fans. Of course, the Beatles didn't know anything about this....but the catalyst may have come about because John did admit to being perplexed by fans looking for clues, so sometimes he would drop his own unique way with words into the lyrics. "I Am The Walrus" is a fine example of that. It's intentional gibberish that he thought would provide hours of fun to the fans. It did. Harmless. Well, it was until Manson.

I understand why MANSON even when he was crazy he thought the BEATLES were talking to him, because he was already paranoid with one of the Beach Boys stealing his songs, there is a rythm guitar in Helter Skelter that sounds exactly the same as the MANSON tapes, there were 2 bootlegs that were very influential in that year, one was the manson tapes and other were the Bob Dylan and the Band tapes, the Beatles as always, wanted to be in the cutting edge and they got influence of everything that was new at their time, so they took some pink floyd, zappa, zeppelin, hendrix, cream and of course Bob Dylan and Charles Manson, even when Paul denies now, is more than obvious that he used a sound scimilar to the sound of Manson playing style in the background

Well, in my less-than-humble-opinion, while John Cale is a truly remarkable musician and composer, and Lou Reed and Nico are quite the characters, and considering too that I've listened to it off and on since the late 1970s, it doesn't come withing a country mile of the Beatles.

Manson was warning about a revolution of the blacks taking over the whites. He had a following of apostles that did everything Charlie would tell them to, including killing people and having sec with each other. In court, he claimed the Beatles were telling him to do what he did through their songs. Honey Pie said “sail across the Atlantic” which told Charlie that they were communication from the other side of the ocean. They wrote Helter Skelter and Pigs with the blood of their victims on the walls from the titles of the songs on the White Album. They played parts of Revolution 9 in court and said that was the sound from the Revolution, complete with sounds of machine guns and war. Look for a movie called Helter Skelter from the 70s. It may have been made for TV.

You weren't paying close enough attention. The song wasn't about a carnival ride. It was about trying to make the heaviest rock and roll metal sound up until then. They did it because they were known for an entirely different kind of music. But they decided to show the world. They can do it all and thus create felt the scale there. The carnival ride is what it was about essentially, but the purpose of the song was not. The purpose was to create the loudest greatest metal song existing at that time, and it was to show the world that they can do it all. Not just the kind of music that they usually did. In the same vein, but not as heavy. You should listen to Back in the USSR. A great song, especially for The Times that we were living in back then, especially regarding the u. S.A. And the USSR.

Don't think, that the Beatles only had fans. For many older people at the time, they were spoilers of the youth with jungle music and terrible hair. In 1965, the Beatles received medals from the English royal family (strange enough), which angered some English war veterans, because of their narrow perspective. Lennon's Jesus remark in 1966 sparked outrage in the US Bible Belt, some are still upset today, because they apparently have nothing better to do in this strange region of the planet. It was not without reason, that people complained about the Beatles' massive drug consumption, which, on the one hand, actually fuels creativity, but of course can lead to fatal addiction. Some wanted to go on the Beatles' collar in Tokyo that same year, because their concerts were said to desecrate the Budokan Hall. The Japanese deployed 35,000 police officers to protect the Beatles. Surely a few less would have been enough... In general, with people of this or a similar caliber, every word is put on the gold scales. And ultimately John Lennon got hit in 1980 when a guy murdered him in New York, in perhaps the most tragic moment in modern popular culture. Manson actually wanted to be a musician. He introduced his stuff to one of the Beach Boys. But nothing came of it. It wasn't until decades later, that Guns 'n Roses recorded a song by him. Manson, with a hard-to-understand effect on emotionally unstable women, then decided, to create his horror gang with this crude "philosophy."

Understand, in 1968 no one associated heavy music with evil. But Manson did that. That also had a lasting impact on music history. That's why hard music today is mostly evil, the lyrics also reflect this and some metal band members are Satanists. This is the late success of Charles Manson.

"CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties" is a 2019 nonfiction book written by Tom O'Neill with Dan Piepenbring. The book presents O'Neill's research into the background and motives for the Tate-LaBianca murders committed by the Manson Family in 1969. (Wikipedia) Suffice to say: There were CIA operatives who utilized the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic which was frequented by Charlie and his "girls" in the year following Charlie's release from prison, before moving to the L.A. area to arrange the murders. The L.A. prosecutor (and author of the very famous book Helter Skelter) of the Manson case, Vincent Bugliosi, was NOT a good guy... [Yo! Peter!]

They were trying to do a very rough and raucous song, and ended up with Helter Skelter. Although I believe "...Except for me and my Monkey" may be more hardcore. Maybe it is a toss up.

@timbaker6540 NO. Dariius does NOT need to check out that stupid tale. It NEEDS to die. I am SO TIRED of some people who believe it. DARIIUS, DON'T BOTHER, it's ridiculous and a waste of your time. I heard it all from the beginning when it was first broadcast on a college radio station in Michigan, in October of 1969. It was started by a college student. I had just moved there after graduating from university and was 2 months into my first teaching job. I was 22 years old, and it doesn't need to be rehashed. And I AM a Beatles' fan, from the beginning.

the hippie movement of the 60's and 70's had so many cults and the Manson family was just one of the extreme cults just the the Jonestown mass suicides cult, people were searching for something bigger then them and Manson was as a user of LSD and his followers were just as drugged up as he was and LSD made people weak minded morons and easy to influence I know this because I had some friends that fried one night and believed they seen god and stopped using LSD and became Preachers and were anti drug use from then on. Jim Morrison of the group the Doors wrote a song called [ People are Strange } you should listen to it you'll have a little more insight as to the way peoples thinking process was back then.

Your funny and one of the more intelligent reactions. You should watch video s of other artists who followed in the 60s and 70s. on how they were influenced by The Beatles. I love every stage of the Beatles musical progression Early stuff is so fresh, youthful and raw When it came out, people were wowed because it was a new fresh, exciting sound. If you listen to music in 1962-63, you'll see what I mean. You have no idea how they changed popular culture and not just music.
