Beatles Anthology (7/7) - Part 4

[robertfoy100]

I wasn't around in 1965 but I shouldn't think most people gave a monkeys either way about the MBEs, Paul.

[Kridane]

I wonder if they're still getting 40 pounds a year or if it has increased.

[chriswba05170]

@Kridane good question

[iHeartCav4ever]

@WalrusMuffin10797

The song is If You've Got Trouble, one of Ringo's songs

[starionpatrol]

Haha, 7:46 !!! Look at the police officer to the right. Loud screaming, eh..

[Albert18264]

Rolf Harris at 1.28 to 1.35

[WalrusMuffins10797]

whats the song at the end??

[crw45able]

7:40. when the beatles were playing, they must have felt like they had their ears in a hairdrier constantly.

[5inthehole]

One of the best parts in the Antholoy, when George says how they sold all that corderoy and made it swing....and all they gave us is a grubby (paraphasing) old medal. LOL!

[thegrinchl7]

LOL Paul, casually steering a tug-boat as he gives an interview through the port hole. What a pretentious clod! In the end, the Beatles were about John Lennon. With him gone, none of these guys opinions matter very much. Especially Yoko Ono. Ugh!

[TopherBlairMusic]

@thegrinchl7 Um, I don't know about that. Paul had more talent. He could write something like Yesterday then turn around and write Helter Skelter which is heavier then anything Black Sabbath ever did IMO. He may have been asked to drive the boat just to give the movie some variety.

[thegrinchl7]

@TopherBlairMusic - Paul is now like some eccentric

Duke or Earl, out of touch with the common man. He

might be aware of this since he appears to be doing

his "average bloke" nice guy routine more often. He

often appears foolish and we're left puzzled, watching

what he's DOES rather than listening to what he says.

Beatle historians find him unreliable...he embellishes

or has forgotten. From his declining musical ability to

his one-legged-wife, Paul is a shadow of his former

Beatle self.

[BrutusMcCrunch]

@thegrinchl7 lolol,that was a heck of a comment.Fantastic.LMFAO...and very true,btw

[jp3813]

@thegrinchl7 Your statements about Paul and John are inconsistent given that you're praising John's presence in the band in the past while criticizing Paul in the present long after the band has disbanded. Paul wrote most of the band's hits and is the most covered songwriter out of the four. Without him there'd be no Hey Jude, Let It be, Yesterday, Long and Winding Road, etc... Even John became insecure about his songwriting at one point b/c he felt he was being outdone by Paul.

[robertfoy100]

@jp3813 Paul was the most polished songwriter during the Beatles period, but 90-95% of his post-Beatles stuff was rubbish, he seemed to lose somethig from 1970 on which was a bit surprising. I trawled through his 1970s catalogue with Wings and solo the other day. It's painfully bad, (Jet and Coming Up were OK). Lennon's 70s stuff was more sparse but better - particularly Imagine (of course), Jealous Guy and Instant Karma.

[jp3813]

@robertfoy100 I actually pointed that out in another video b/c I did the same thing as you did w/ their solo stuff. But in this particular comment, I was talking about Paul's importance in the group.

[Stube437]

ed sullivan just didn't stop milking it did he? Wanker!

[thethirdeye9]

ringo did started the band, cuz when he joined, history started to wrote

[VeronicaGSweden]

"the lowest honour you can possibly get.." HAHA :D

[titans08]

ohhhh you know.... just me, paul.. steering a boat?

[aarfeld]

If you become a member of this empire do you have to go over to the dark side and join forces with Darth Vader?

[genantonius]

@aarfeld No.

[aarfeld]

@genantonius: Oh, glad to hear it--I was concerned. Do you get a light saber with that medal?

[MoveOverCasanova]

01: 10 -- thís mr. nobody´s impertinence is incredible -- "if i HAD the MBE, i would be put off by being on THE SAME LEVEL AS A POP SINGER" -- what a ridiculous little dick-receiver

[091680]

@MoveOverCasanova You have to remember things were much different then today. Back then, Pop singers were indeed seen on a lower level by the 'older generation' - especially in the UK.

[MoveOverCasanova]

and bono, bob geldof and nicolae ceausescu share/d the honour of being KNIGHT COMANDERS LOL!

[JohnLennon4King]

@MoveOverCasanova she did knight paul a few years back

[MoveOverCasanova]

eric clapton, roger daltrey, david gilmour, elton john, even ray davies are CME, commanders of the british empire, which is two ranks higher --

the queen must really have hated them for a specific reason,

even kylie minogue and olivia newton john are higher in "royal order hierarchy" than the beatles !!

[redhedbedhed]

After all we did for Great Britain, selling all that corduroy, and making it swing, and they just gave us that bloody old leather medal with wooden string through it.

[iamdhump]

7:15 ringo is to funny

[SkaterboyRobin]

fuckin boat

[ellisonweich4]

Eight Days A Week makes anything look good.

[MrBeatlefan57]

Does anyone know what kind of jacket George has on in this video? What is it called. Looks cool

[shmmazz]

George is so funny

It's a bloody medal with string through it

That's what we get for evrything we did!

[gigisdad]

The song that plays this one out "If You've Got Trouble"? Wow that's a bad one! lol..no one it never saw the light of day until now.

[ilovecocoful]

lmao I think Ringo is still stoned.

[cdjosk8]

its weord coz they are nervous to meet the queen but if i met them i would have been nervous too lol

[scob62]

i believe George

[XRaidedAZ]

Im too stoned myself ya dig

[pw342]

I didn't realise they were such stoners this early on

[pw342]

Classic line from Ringo :)

[MisterEvasion]

At 0:53 the old guy is of the opinion it debases the order. Maybe he's right as it turns out, if you go by the media coverage for this award compared to today. They give the MBE to prominent snooker players these days. It is still a respected honour I guess, but it's really only important to the people who receive it.

I wonder what that old guy would think of Sir Michael Philip Jagger?

[hehehehehayayay22]

"i was too stoned to remember" lol!!!!!!!

[cantankerouslandlord]

At 7:48 a cop plugs his ears. This clued me in on just how unbelievably loud it was. It must have been deafening.

[DjangoMeetsColtrane]

note that the last song of this video (if you've got trouble) never made it on any record, deemed not worthy of the beatles standards. naturally, this is a demo, and it's quite interesting to hear it at last.

note Ringo pleading: "ah, rock on ANYBODY" :)

[capbrianeks]

ringo was toooo stoned to remeber

5:38

[KaptKan1]

Shea Stadium. Words fail. Maniacal adolescent female hysteria. This is the same generation of girls who went on to become the hysterical feminist maniacs.

God save us from all mass hysteria.
