I'm not saying it was Yoko's fault, but she was definitely a little bit crazy. She once held an art show, and one of the pieces was called "Apple." Guess what it was. A regular, red apple on a pedestal. Yeah.
@zBeMo no dummy , i called lenin a nazi cuz he was a marxist dick who hated capitalism but at the same time loved selling records , and i called yoko a chink jew cuz shes a goldiggin ape that is suppsed to be so loving but wont share a dime wth the nazis other kids , get it now?
What a stupid, stupid, STUPID think to ask/say/think about/argue about after all these years. Asanine, really. Things happen the way they do b/c they DO. There is no "fault". That's completely short-sighted and juvenile. It was simply 'time.'
In all reality it wasnt completley Yoko bc they were starting to crack before she ever even came into the picture. She dd help though i wont deny that tho lol
many people believed that yoko ono (john lennon's wife) was the primary reason that john lennon began to set away from the group thus causing the rest of the beatles to break up
The beatles wer 4 differnt people differnt ideas differnt beliefs..why are we so vain and selfish to want men to stay were they didnt want too. could have they stood to hang around each other for a few weeks to make another album? YES but they choose not too.dont blame Yoko for there dimise.Blame human nature. these men were not gods.they were humans with faults like you and me..dont you have those people at work that you rather not be around.but we dont have that luxary to just walk away!!
Poor Paul. That interviewer is such a bitch, and she's so disrespectful. First of all, he's her elder so she should be polite and respectful, and second, he's Sir Paul McCartney (he was like knighted by the queen) so she should know better than to treat a "sir" like that. So rude.
To all the Yoko haters on here,if you really believe Yoko Ono caused The Beatles to break up then you DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE BEATLES OR THEIR HISTORY, furthermore you're only showing you hate yourself and are generally a hateful person!!
@goldiejames I used to "think it was her fault", then I discovered how beautiful Yoko is, and how lucky John was to have her.
For those who don't know, John met Yoko at an art exibihit. Her art was a step stool against a white wall which one would clib up. hanging from the wall was a magnifying glass. the participant would grab the large specticle and look at a small piece of paper on the wall which read....
It was Chapmans fault. You can't tell me that The Beatles wouldn't have had a reunion if John never was shot. The Beatles did break up but Chapman was the one who made it permanent.
@grevejp44 That's not necessarily true. Well-known bands usually have reunions within five years of their otherwise permanent break-up, i.e. Led Zepplin, Van Halen. Still, I guess Pink Floyd had one in nine years, so you might be right.
Yoko wasn't the only cause of the breakup, but she was the least understandable and most obnoxious and insidious cause of it. What happened between the Beatles themselves was a natural consequence of their getting older and changing, which can happen to any group. But what happened because of Yoko was deliberate and underhanded.
If I was in a band with my best mates and all of a sudden this hanger-on woman shows up (Groupie) and suddenly she is everywhere with us, on tour worldwide, in the hotel at breakfast, in the studio and even during private recording sessions...
Why people always blame this on a single person. I believe that the wanted to move on and do something different, and have a little break from the routine that recording together had become. It's nobody's fault, things change...
@jaycr2006 People want to blame yoko partially because she was SOMEWHAT at fault...but I theorize that a lot of it is that they don't want to blame the Beatles themselves. They don't want to believe that they could have been torn apart by egos, jealousies, etc. Which is what happened to some degree.

@xxcharmed1xx It ultimately came down to John, though. She might have set some sparks, but so did a lot of things.
George wasn't being given enough "screen time," Paul was taking more of a leadership role and tended to run songs into the ground during rehearsals, and after years of personal issues John finally felt fulfilled.
She is responsible for them not reuniting after John's Lost Weekend, though, because she told John he didn't have to. She probably meant well, but she shouldn't have.
Addition to my earlier comment: A better explanation for George's place at the time was personal limitation. His work wasn't given much time, he wanted to work with lots of talented people beside The Beatles and his growing interest in Hinduism made him eager to break the Beatles image.

@aoomerjee Ya! I completely agree... but I don't know how and I have no proof. Plus the Beatles themselves (besides John) said they didn't like her but she wasn't the cause of their break up, in fact Paul says it IN THIS VERY FUCKING VIDEO DUMBASS.
@aoomerjee I love your extensive use of details, facts and sources. Here's one fact for my argument... this very fucking video that you clearly did not watch. There is no argument here whatsoever, sure everyone hates her guts including me but as quoted from Paul in this video "Ha, was it Yoko's fault? Um no"
@aoomerjee There is no argument here at all it is blatantly stated "no." They've all insulted each other in interviews, it's no matter of respect, he would have stated his opinion. You are blind, you are not a real Beatles fan. Before you hit reply and tell me "I'm retarded" because you have no proof in your argument, try using some facts.
@ICHIGO1415kurosaki ur an idiot. and its you you who hats the beatles. ur glad cause she broke them up. and its a very obvious thing to see but cause ur sooooo incrediblt patheticaly stupid, you wont see it. My sympathies for ur stupid life.
@aoomerjee I can't tell if you have a mental illness, or you're trolling. I'm guessing both since you completely refuse to use facts. What do I know though since I'm just "sooooo incrediblt patheticaly stupid" and I "hats the beatles" I had to laugh at that last one. Grow up. Be mature. Learn to spell. You won't, however, since you are trolling. No point in me replying to you anymore since you'll just tell me about how I "hats the beatles"
@aoomerjee Yep, and now you're completely off topic and ignore the entire argument. Plus you did exactly as I expected and simply insulted me instead of trying facts. You aren't even arguing anymore, just whining. Please stop complaining and crying like a 4 year old.
Wow only on youtube can you find the most ignorant uneducated retards on earth. Oh we love the Beatles but lets insult them by blaming the women on the break up. Shut up you low lifed know it all wanna be. listen to the music and enjoy that. Leave the gossip where it belongs.
@bgumbyguitar wow. an ignorant talking. i thought you said no further. getting mad over the internet is just plain retarded activity. just admit opinions. dont think youre right all the time. im not saying that im right. is just an opinion i have and got some sort of proof. you certainly got issues man. go to a psychologist or something. leave the internet. is just making you get more stressed.
@AldoSting Yeah I know I have issues and I do see a pysch dr. You shoulda seen me a year ago I have improved. And just to clarify I never liked Yoko and her singing is the worst. I just don't blame her or any of the women for the break up. It goes way beyond that.
@bgumbyguitar ok. i understand now. hope you keep on improving. after what i mentioned before, i remember reading the beatles made a pact that its only them and staff members in the studio. no women, girlfriends, or wives. never heard about that? it was since the beginning. john didnt disobey with cynthia. it was different when yoko arrived. and paul was getting a lil tired, especially of john bringing yoko in the studio while recording.
of course not beatle will say it was yoko's fault on national television because it will cause an outrage and a big upset for yoko and dishonor for john. everyone that has read john lennon's biography know yoko had something to do with the breakup. she would lay underneath the pianos and sleep in the studio. and would talk to john crap about the others behind their backs. especially about paul. dont think she deserves the rights to the beatles at all.
@bgumbyguitar of course people wont get over a rumor that deals with the greatest band in the history of the world.1000 years could pass and people will still be questioning that.
@bgumbyguitar im not insulting you yokotard. why do people get angry over the internet nowadays? get a life. and a biography is written by someone else, not the person itself. read a book for once.
@AldoSting No shit. some people DO write ther own but John never endorsed one or participated. But talking to you is like trying to tell a cat not to meow. I got a life unlike you. You are worse than the aholes who believe Paul is dead. John would have punched you in the face. It was his band, his wife and his life. Grow the hell up and let it be. It is what it is and your ranting over the past is not going to change things. Your analysis of Let it Be is shit too. I will not argue any further.
Just watch the Let It Be movie. Yoko never said a word. John had lost interest in leadership, Paul had been waiting for that moment all his life and stepped up to the top spot. But he couldn't get the others to come willingly to his vision, mainly because he was hitting them over the head with it. Oddly, he had the most power over John, because though John would withdraw, Paul could lure him back in, by putting the old magic on the table. Ego notwithstanding, John couldn't resist the magic.
It was because each band member were finding their own sound and all wanted to explore that.... just like john lennon said..."Well she took them apart can we please give her the credit for all the nice music that George made and Ringo made and Paul made and I've made since they broke up.. if you blame, since she did it".
Whatever Yoko ono's presence wasn't welcomed. You know she would constantly talk in Lennon's ear about what she percieved as little piccadello's or whisper's or remarks probably about her that she carefully crafted to turn Lennon completely against the others. She drove the stake in the heart of any reconcilation that the band might of been thinking about. She wantd the fame of Lennon but didn't have the talent, so she got her hooks in him and ended the greatest band in the world! Fuck Yoko!
Paul McCartney is a nice guy and a decent human, who happens to be one of the greatest musical geniuses ever. To nice of course it was Yoko's fault, she would sit around in the studio while they were recording let it be....all the other's wives not there. Trying to order other's around. Beatle this, Beatle that. Then McCartney says it's The Beatles.
@nat00ben06 Where did you get your information? Please do some research. Or, put an "imo" next to your claims, just in case...
Every member of The Beatles attested to the fact that they were going their own ways, musically; there was in-fighting long before Yoko entered the picture. The band started to unravel in '67, when their manager, Brian Epstein, died. Paul declared himself 'band leader', and tried to get his father-in-law to manage them...and so on.
@Rodel757 Are you even kidding? "Yellow Submarine" was finished after five takes on 26 May 1966, in Studio Two at Abbey Road Studios...". "9 November 1966: John Lennon meets Yoko Ono". Please don't post such non-researched nonsense on YT.
@spinalcrackerbox This reminds me of the song "Julia," on the white album. One line says, "Julia, Julia, ocean child." I always thought Yoko was the mother John never had and I felt this song reflected that.
why does everyone think paul was serious about the "let go of my hand thing" you can clearly see that paul's the one maintaing grip as she tries to let go lol
yoko fucked the atomsphere of abbey road up. but in reality, the beatles had money problems and had different views and opinions on how to solve these problems. this, and 4 large egos, ultimately drove paul to quit.
He's been doing the 'let go of my hand' joke for years, it's HE that is not letting go, I've seen some do it countless times in interviews. You can tell when Paul's annoyed and this isn't it.
He's said it on numerous occasions. it was hardly anything to do with Yoko. The band had been together for almost 15 years. They were sick of each other. They had not performed live for five years remember. They were fed up with touring and living in each others' pockets plus Paul had a young family. If they had stayed together they would have become shadows of what they were. Or a very bad parody.
They were kids that became more famous than anyone, except MAYBE Mohammed Ali and Hitler. They all said stupid stuff, and did stupid things. To their credit they all came out of it in better shape than Michael Jackson did.
I don't think it was Yoko's fault. Maybe it was her fault the part of changing John, but anyway... The Beatles were going to broke up. Let's face it. And... the other thing... John was very in love with Yoko, and we can't do anything to change that. Even now that he's dead.

There is no argument here whatsoever, sure everyone hates her guts including me but as quoted from Paul in this video "Ha, was it Yoko's fault? Um no"

@aoomerjee There is no argument here at all it is blatantly stated "no." They've all insulted each other in interviews, it's no matter of respect, he would have stated his opinion. You are blind, you are not a real Beatles fan. Before you hit reply and tell me "I'm retarded" because you have no proof in your argument, try using some facts.

@ICHIGO1415kurosaki ur an idiot. and its you you who hats the beatles. ur glad cause she broke them up. and its a very obvious thing to see but cause ur sooooo incrediblt patheticaly stupid, you wont see it. My sympathies for ur stupid life.

@aoomerjee I can't tell if you have a mental illness, or you're trolling. I'm guessing both since you completely refuse to use facts. What do I know though since I'm just "sooooo incrediblt patheticaly stupid" and I "hats the beatles" I had to laugh at that last one. Grow up. Be mature. Learn to spell. You won't, however, since you are trolling. No point in me replying to you anymore since you'll just tell me about how I "hats the beatles"

@aoomerjee Yep, and now you're completely off topic and ignore the entire argument. Plus you did exactly as I expected and simply insulted me instead of trying facts. You aren't even arguing anymore, just whining. Please stop complaining and crying like a 4 year old.

@AldoSting Yeah I know I have issues and I do see a pysch dr. You shoulda seen me a year ago I have improved. And just to clarify I never liked Yoko and her singing is the worst. I just don't blame her or any of the women for the break up. It goes way beyond that.
bgumbyguitar 2 months ago
@bgumbyguitar ok. i understand now. hope you keep on improving. after what i mentioned before, i remember reading the beatles made a pact that its only them and staff members in the studio. no women, girlfriends, or wives. never heard about that? it was since the beginning. john didnt disobey with cynthia. it was different when yoko arrived. and paul was getting a lil tired, especially of john bringing yoko in the studio while recording.

of course not beatle will say it was yoko's fault on national television because it will cause an outrage and a big upset for yoko and dishonor for john. everyone that has read john lennon's biography know yoko had something to do with the breakup. she would lay underneath the pianos and sleep in the studio. and would talk to john crap about the others behind their backs. especially about paul. dont think she deserves the rights to the beatles at all.

@AldoSting No shit. some people DO write ther own but John never endorsed one or participated. But talking to you is like trying to tell a cat not to meow. I got a life unlike you. You are worse than the aholes who believe Paul is dead. John would have punched you in the face. It was his band, his wife and his life. Grow the hell up and let it be. It is what it is and your ranting over the past is not going to change things. Your analysis of Let it Be is shit too. I will not argue any further.

Just watch the Let It Be movie. Yoko never said a word. John had lost interest in leadership, Paul had been waiting for that moment all his life and stepped up to the top spot. But he couldn't get the others to come willingly to his vision, mainly because he was hitting them over the head with it. Oddly, he had the most power over John, because though John would withdraw, Paul could lure him back in, by putting the old magic on the table. Ego notwithstanding, John couldn't resist the magic.

At first it seems like he was joking, but he actually was pissed at her for not letting go of his hand.
disgruntledgoatiam 2 months ago
It was because each band member were finding their own sound and all wanted to explore that.... just like john lennon said..."Well she took them apart can we please give her the credit for all the nice music that George made and Ringo made and Paul made and I've made since they broke up.. if you blame, since she did it".

Whatever Yoko ono's presence wasn't welcomed. You know she would constantly talk in Lennon's ear about what she percieved as little piccadello's or whisper's or remarks probably about her that she carefully crafted to turn Lennon completely against the others. She drove the stake in the heart of any reconcilation that the band might of been thinking about. She wantd the fame of Lennon but didn't have the talent, so she got her hooks in him and ended the greatest band in the world! Fuck Yoko!

Paul McCartney is a nice guy and a decent human, who happens to be one of the greatest musical geniuses ever. To nice of course it was Yoko's fault, she would sit around in the studio while they were recording let it be....all the other's wives not there. Trying to order other's around. Beatle this, Beatle that. Then McCartney says it's The Beatles.
nat00ben06 2 months ago
@nat00ben06 Where did you get your information? Please do some research. Or, put an "imo" next to your claims, just in case...
Every member of The Beatles attested to the fact that they were going their own ways, musically; there was in-fighting long before Yoko entered the picture. The band started to unravel in '67, when their manager, Brian Epstein, died. Paul declared himself 'band leader', and tried to get his father-in-law to manage them...and so on.
Solid information is a good thing!

Is this in reference to the band splitting up?
Or is it in reference to John living in New York oppose to London (where he wouldn't have been killed).

Yōko is a female Japanese given name.
It means "Ocean Child"
Paul wrote the song "Yellow Submarine.."
Yellow is a racist description of Asian people..
and a Submarine takes people down in the Ocean..
Now listen very carefully to the lyrics of Yellow Submarine....
and also Octopusses Garden..
These songs are about Yoko Ono...
Rodel757 2 months ago
@Rodel757 Are you even kidding? "Yellow Submarine" was finished after five takes on 26 May 1966, in Studio Two at Abbey Road Studios...". "9 November 1966: John Lennon meets Yoko Ono". Please don't post such non-researched nonsense on YT.

@spinalcrackerbox This reminds me of the song "Julia," on the white album. One line says, "Julia, Julia, ocean child." I always thought Yoko was the mother John never had and I felt this song reflected that.

He's said it on numerous occasions. it was hardly anything to do with Yoko. The band had been together for almost 15 years. They were sick of each other. They had not performed live for five years remember. They were fed up with touring and living in each others' pockets plus Paul had a young family. If they had stayed together they would have become shadows of what they were. Or a very bad parody.
