So you are talking about the opening tracks of the studio album I thought we could write the tracks which we would like them open. I always liked They Don't care about us and I guess it was the 2nd song at the Munich show, so it always went well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) In the words of Sir Paul 'what are you talkin' about, it's great, it's The Beatles White Album, shut up!' Everything John Lennon ever did was fantastic. When he walked down the street and gobbed on the pavement it was fantastic, when he took a shit it was fantastic, I mean he's John Lennon for crying out loud! I freely admit total and utter un-objectivity regarding The Beatles. You think Revolution 9 is bad, I've listened to Two Virgins and The Wedding Album all the way through. More than once even. I don't even think John and Yoko did that! Edited July 25, 2016 by Len B'stard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Another good one: 'Like A Rolling Stone'. Beat of a drum (duh) and bang, the mid-late '60s has started. I used to like Revolution 9 as a kid for being scary and weird sounding - not sure if that was Lennon's intentions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
