wasted Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Theres not much aggression to the beatles not even a darkness really. Thats why The Doors and Stones made more sense in the 90s. I listened to most of their stuff in conjunction with a book about them. Its definitely a whole different universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I listened to most of their stuff in conjunction with a book about them. Its definitely a whole different universe.Sorry, just want to make sure I'm understanding your pronouns correctly. "Them" is the Beatles, right (as opposed to Stones and Doors)? And you mean it's a different universe when you put the Beatles in context of their times, as you did when reading the book, right? Which book did you read? I recommend "Shout!" I took a university course on the Beatles a few months ago, and "Shout!" was one of our main texts we were reading. And I definitely agree, if I understood correctly.

wasted Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 To me the Stones are very Americanized. Whereas the Beatles are very english. Maybe only the white album and let it be really sound like 70s california. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a manson book with the White album. I just nean that the beatles are slightly outside of reality, its a whole world to explore and definitely not the same as The Stones. But i feel that beatles sort seems kike a different time, the stones seems to make sense today. Maybe early Stones does make think more of Chelsea in the 60s.

wasted Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 So I came at from a nerdy angle. Read Uncut magazine features on The album. Whereas as Stones Doors just seem to make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Shout is fantastic, ain't that the one where Lennon said it was the truest account cuz it portrayed them as bastards and thats what they were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Shout is the one where they explain how Beatlemania was staged. they paid girls to chase them, then it caught on and they were like fuck this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinegunner Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Just a correction: I was wrong -- actually Nowhere Man predates their meeting the Maharishi, it had nothing to do with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I was gonna say, they hadn't even met him by then, Sexy Sadie is the one you were thinkin' of, Nowhere Man is about Lennon himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I don't think there is a Beatles song on their entire discography that ain't amazing. That sounds like a flippant hyperbolic statement but it's not, they're just that insanely talented and unique.OOOOOOOOOOOOOH dirty maggie may, they have taken her away and she'll never walk down lime street anymore, the judge he guilty found her, for robbin' a homeward bounder, that dirty no good robbin' Maggie May! Yes, even that one!With The Beatles, top fuckin' drawer!Amen brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe only the white album and let it be really sound like 70s california.I don't know about "very", I don't really hear Eagles or Ronstadt in their songs. George Martin produced one of America's albums though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 maxwell = kill it with fire Maxwell's Silver Hammer is a brilliant song. What isn't brilliant about a song about a serial killer bashing people's skulls in, all in a sing-along, whistle friendly tune?Agreed, it's really a cool song. It's funny and dark at the same time. Love it.+1. It's fucking hilarious, and I love it. One of my favorite Paul-led ones.Agreed. Awesome tune.You people used to be so cool.

luciusfunk Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Maxwell was my second favorite song from Abbey Road when I first bought it. Granted I was twelve at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Martin produced one of America's albums though. It seems from 1968 they left London behind. By Sticky Fingers there's not a trace of Englishness, it's blues rock with a cover by Andy Warhol. I'm not sure when Jagger changed his voice but he did it few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Defintely out of those three giants of rock and English music, The Beatles managed to be influenced by American music but maintained a very British sound and demeanour whereas the Stones and Zeppelin were very American - I guess probably had a lot to do with the latter two being heavily influenced by the blues.

wasted Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Beatles were influenced by more rock n roll like Elvis and Little Richard. I don't know I'm just guessing.Is it that Stones just lasted longer as well. Their final run from Steel Wheels is basically a hollywood movie. being a stadium band is a very American concept?There's a southern rock element to the Stones, Robert Johnson down at the crossroads. Whereas the Beatles never really made a pact with satan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaider Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I was a Beatles nut years ago. I don't listen to them anymore, but they're awesome. Can't understand why there are people who think they are overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellobeatle Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I prefer Lennons solo stuff to be honest. Even his covers album.Yeah, that's an awesome album. There are a number of unreleased stuff from the Phil Spector sessions for that album out there too, like Angel Baby and To Know Her Is To Love Her.

wasted Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I got Let It Be Naked. There's a long interview or recording of them talking in the studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
