  • doom sample

  • I love the beatles!! I can play Hey Jude on the piano and ukulele

  • The beatles just eventually started feeding the theorist

  • @kamodo2299 First Trolls ever?

  • This Vídeo is perfect tala all beatles clips And made a mix following the music Glass Onion

  • "there'd been so much gobbledygook about Pepper—play it backwards and you stand on your head and all that."

    Luls, Oh John Lennon, y u so silly?

  • the beatles created classic rock all my loving was a pop song this song pointed the way to the seventies for rock bands

  • @MeLiiLilly John wrote that as a headfuck for all of the fans who read too much of the band's lyrics. :/

  • It is only recently that the lodge of England has recognised a fourth Mark Master degree, perhaps they kept it as a spoiler secret?

  • @sunjasper i.e master mason dies in the third degree.

  • @sunjasper I think the track revolution number nine is also about Freemasons.

  • I always thought John was the walrus

  • @MeLiiLilly He actually did write that song as a mindfuck. But the Walrus was a refernce from the poem sang by tweedledee and tweedledum in Alice in wonderland in which he would call himself the Walrus, until he later realised the walrus was a capitalist and he didn't believe in capitalist views e.g, the song imagine.

  • PAUL IS DEAR!

  • Ringo is god hahahaha

  • for the longest time i thought george or john was playing that thumping bass...its not really paul's style lol

  • the walrus was Paul

    Paul is dea

  • 1:49  oh! Jus Going For A Stroll..don't mind me!

  • George :3

  • Always wondered what John was referring to with "trying to make a dove-tail joint."

  • @TotalHeel School woodwork lessons? Also think that maybe, just maybe, the title of this song is a Lennonesque wordplay on 1 Corinthians 13 about looking (or seeing) through a glass darkly, in other words not seeing things clearly in the present. Guess his education at Quarry Bank High wasn't wasted. Just my opinions tho'.

  • @SuperNevile wood shop makes sense. But every other line mentions a Beatles song, even the subtler lines "here's another place you can be" suggests There's a Place. As for the title, if it's about Corinthians, Lennon was probably remembering something somebody else wrote about it.

  • @SuperNevile The title came from a time when the boys were in an upscale restaurant where everyone obviously recognized them but were too 'cool' to act it. John thought the centerpieces on the tables looked like Glass Onions. It's really quite a literal meaning, but yes to look through one was to distort perceptions.. The fame and riches that brought them to this restaurant distorted their views of reality just as the glass onions distorted their views of the restaurant.

  • @danicarson Thanks alot for that, I didn't know the back story. I realised too that Lennon took influence from many literary sources ~ Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll, etc etc. But yes, we can put our own interpretations on basically literal lyrics (Lucy in the Sky? Charles Manson?). Cheers.

  • Leak in the pipe-line: U.S, OO agent is the lone survivor from a USSR submarine wearing a fur seal skin and a sub glass onion mask he surfaces survives to an iceberg for 2 weeks.

  • The White Album takes well to stereo remastering, but the older albums I certainly like better in their mono remastering versions. I still like listening to the newer albums in mono as well. There is slightly better dynamic range and separation especially with all the sophisticated orchestrations and sounds. The older stuff just sounds phony in my opinion, and not was intended by the artists. It's sort of like coloration of old B&W movies that are classics in their original form.

  • This is now my new favorite beatles song! :P

  • thats no the only time you will be saying that

  • White Album Remastered

    Is Brilliant.

    The Beatles

    Best Band Ever !!

  • OH YEEEEEAAAHHHHH! Kickass song

  • last part was kinda creepy

  • @myrtlebox. true it will still be a turnup. But it will be a turnup that is more interesting and open to idead and ways of life it hadn't encountered before.

  • @EmeraldTriangle80 You can put all the drugs you want into a turnip - it still be a turnip...

  • who can ever dislike this song

  • 0:58 john fliping his hair :o

  • Comment removed

  • the greatest thing about beatles recordings,is that no matter how much overtracking and over dubbing,they still seem to manage to sound clear and pure and right there in the room with you.using great power to remain simple

  • You got really good lip syncing there! Ace!

  • whats the song when ringo does the 2nd drum roll?

  • Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

  • I LOV THE BEATLES POWER MUSIC

  • :)

    

  • LONG LIVE THE BEATLES!!!!!!

  • The walrus mask didn't fit John. It fit Paul, sooo...there you have it. Other than that, "the Walrus" was John.

  • MIGHT BE THE COOLEST VIDEO MADE BY A FAN OF "the boys" CONGRATULATIONS.

  • you can't remaster them because they are already masters

  • @Dethklocalypse lol nice observation batman, now go say things that don't make much sense elsewhere.

  • @Dethklocalypse EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Dethklocalypse Reception

  • @Dethklocalypse mastered*

  • Video / song featured in the "Dissecting The Beatles: Glass Onion Edition" post on my Beatles Website :) Check it out now!

  • A hot song for me right now.

  • as John Lennon said, mocking the Paul is dead contheroists

    "Let The Fuckers Figure This One Out!!"

  • actually Paul was the walrus

  • Paul was the Hippo.

  • guys who dont get the song, its just basically them having a laugh about their songs e.g. 'the walrus was paul' i personally find it funny, and i love it! :p

  • turd

  • "I told you about the walrus and me-man

    You know that we're as close as can be-man."

  • lookin through an glass onion!

  • you guys are all wrong. I AM THE WALRUS!!!!!

  • Who cares what Glass Onion MEANS??? Its a kick ass song! I Am The Walrus makes no damn sense, but its a hit, and people LOVE IT.

  • Comment removed

  • @ fatman431able

    clues of what

  • ahh a song written to fuck with conspiracy theorist bravo

  • "Fool on the Hill" was written about George just saying

  • @selffless1 It's actually based on a man Paul and a friend of his saw on a hill while walking their dogs, he came up and talked to them for a bit, then disappeared when they turned around for a little while, they weren't sure where he could have gone to.

  • @SgtMustang you know what your right! I was thinking about "Nowhere Man" thanks sorry people...

  • @selffless1 john wrote nowhere man about himself one day when he was sitting around doing nothing.

  • @SgtMustang i know this story but what i remember is paul said they were wondering about god when this guy turned up out of nowhere then just disappeared later. I can't remember what was said just the basic story.

  • @twinflame93 That's just what I said.

  • wow this is the first time i heard ths an that is all i have to say is wow

  • @ananasmitasthma Yes, yes right!!! :) Me too!

  • I love how they take the conspiracy theory in stride and dont get insulted.

    now I am almost sure the theory is false

  • Glass Onion = giving what the Paul is Dead people want to hear

  • I still like this vid particularly. Any change you'll come up with some more White Album songs?

  • 0:54

    GET OUT OF HERE RINGO

  • I love Paul's base in this song!

  • @MrMatthewUnger its bass not base...

  • @MrSheepbro Oh, I always get that confused.

  • To those trying to figure out what it means: John himself said he hated it when people tried to perceive his songs are cryptic and having meanings other than ones he intended, and therefore wrote this song to, essentially, screw with everyone. He apparently had a big laugh about it too ;) Great song & montage btw

  • hahah I really love how the guys laugh about all the rumours that Paul is Dead!! really love this song :) PAUL'S NOT DEAD! WOOO

  • what is 1:14 (paul screaming up close) what clip is that from?

  • what is 1:15 (paul screaming up close) what clip is that from?

  • 0:30 = RINGO'S A BAD ASS

  • Comment removed

  • Fantastic Video good job

  • the walrus was pauuuuuuuuuuuullllllllllllllll­lll, LOL

  • Everyone tries so hard to figure out the Beatles. Give it a rest, you'll never figure them out. So enough 'Paul is Dead' crap to those who believe it.

  • It's such a relief that the Walrus was Paul :P

    

  • 1:48 - 1:56 Man... he is so handsome to me.. Goodness. My heart just melts <3 (:

  • The Beatles are prophets, and this song is just one example of one of their songs that channels hidden messages from beyond the mind. Search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present on the main page and read the section about The Beatles. You will see what I mean after reading this section.

  • This is a very well made video! Well done... great song :)

  • :46 to :49 BEST PART LOL!

  • this is one of the most unknown beatles songs. ever. BUT ITS SO FUCKIN AWESOME POST STUFF ABOUT IT ON FACEBOOK!!!!!!!! LET THE WORLD SHE AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!

  • @bobiocoo It's only unknown if ur not a Beatles fan or into their music. There's about a Billion of us out there so I'd say it's pretty well known. It's just that ur average Justin Bieber/Lady Caca/Rap Hip Hop fan wouldn't know about it coz they grew up in the Neo Mtv gen Y post facebook world of utter crap.

  • Considering these people i have only four words to say: police, electric batons, jail.

  • down here everything FLOATS

  • @Kujien And you'll float too

  • @ 0.45: the Walrus was Paul?! Was it Paul Mccartney?

  • @TheAtheistHindu yes thats what he's saying but its also been said that the song I am the walrus was written out of annoyance of people dissecting lyrics and made intentionally nonsensical. So this could just be adding to that confusion.

  • Cast Iron Shore

  • The walrus was Paul? FACEPALM :O

  • @xenocide8 yes, paul is dead LOLZ really, they replaced him for a clone! in Quarrymen's Free as a bird video, when they saw the car crash, that was Paul! if you see the black van before that, Pause and look at the window... Paul's head injury car crash!!! i wouldn't see the window is VERY CREEPY AND SCARY!!!!, but do pay attention to the crash, but relax, there ois also evidence in wich Paul is ALIVE!!!!! but of course he is

  • @John37816 are you trying to say the retarted that paul was replaced or that its the real paul

  • @MrLennon1000 the retarted? no. I really think Paul isn't 'dead'. But look, when you see the Paul from Sgt. Peppers/half of Magical Mystery Tour, you can see that Paul looks VERY different and about 2 onches TALLER than the other Beatles! (on Ringo's size 4 LOL) and they were always the same length. But if you look at the Paul from the other half of MMT and +, he looks LIKE the before Paul and there the same length as the Beatles AGAIN! You see the pattern? Proof's in Abbey Road LP LOL confused?

  • @John37816 he could have worn higher shoes or something dont make commens like that if you dont know the full truth,you actully think they could find a look a like paul who plays bass perfectly has the exact vocal resembalance and same movement and he knows all beatles secrets that he revealed on parkinso so how would he learn them so well just think people make stupid rumurs up all the time

  • @MrLennon1000 See? I mean, even the most profesional doctor can't make anyone the same with surgery. The rumour started in a school report in India BTW

  • @xenocide8 Refering ''Paul is Dead'' since the walrus is an animal representing dead :P

  • also, the walrus WAS paul. the 'heads' that the Beatles were supposed to wear got (voluntarily) mixed ups o indeed Paul IS wearing the Walrus head in the video of I Am the Walrus. but again, yes, John was punning. a great track, in my opinion. i was 9 years old when the White Album was released and my parents, my sis. and i, sat around in stunned mute silence everytime we played the record. even my "classical only," Euro Dad was dumbstruck. Amazing work by supremely talented folk.

  • fatman431able you are partially correct, my friend! yes, Lennon was having a go at people who might read too much but by the same token to "look into bent back tulips," one would have to be on the ground ala Alice In Wonderland. Lennon said in 68' that the song was, quote: a "telling hit at the Hippy Heaven," how the, "other half live." also the Cast Iron Shore in Liverpool exists mate - I've been there and John was waxing nostalgic." cheers!

  • love the creepy ending

  • really? the walrus was paul?

  • Great video man.

  • this song is SO FAR OUT. clever video editing (the drumming)!!

  • Dovetail Joint: A joint used in woodworking to hold two pieces of wood together without nails, screws, glue, or epoxy.

    A Dovetail Joint is not a Weed Joint for all who thought it was.

  • @JeVousViolerai Thank you for clearing that up.

  • 0:30 the way Ringo plays the drum is UNIQUE! he has the style

  • Favorite track from The White Album.

  • I have the love cd and the version of glass onion is VERY DIFFRENT this sounds better

  • but the walrus wasn't paul! damnit john, stop fuckin with us haha

  • amazing lyrics!

  • David Chapman needs to have the death sentence. John was a King and murders of Kings need to be killed. Painfully and slowly

  • @pervysage35 I get your point, but I'd say he needs just a long and very painful life.

  • @pervysage35

    Please don't say the gunman's name on the Internet. That's what he want's; to see and hear his name out there. I feel your pain as do so many others!!! Just enjoy John's songs. I'm so very thankful we have his videos and songs!!! Take care . . . . .

  • @pervysage35 he killed john for a reason, and it really made me change the way i think, he said how john lennon was singing about imagine no possessions and peace and all when he had money coming out his ears, he had looked up to john when he was younger and realized john was just a rich guy lying to get noticed and stuff, thats basicly how chapman saw it

  • @awesomepossum890

    very interesting, very smart. makes me regret i trolled in the first place

  • I just think that he was a maniac. I think by saying he had a reason behind what he did justifies to an extent that he murdered someone. Its not even because he murdered John Lennon but because he killed a human being. I dont think that because John had money should have given anyone a reason to kill him. Lennon sang about what he believed in and the 10 cohesive years of back catalogue proves he wasnt some sell out. Money didnt change John Lennon, he just changed. However,thats just my opinion.

  • @imlookingthroughyou1 I never said I agreed with him, but I'm just saying he didn't kill him for no reason.

  • @awesomepossum890 I didnt mean you agreed with him, just that trying to understand him sort of justified him? Not that I'm implying you agree with him or support him or whatever, lololol what an absolutely pathetic apologetic fail :)

  • David Chapman needs to have the death sentence. John was a King and murders of Kings need to be killed.

  • hey mister can we have our ball back?!

  • Can someone tell me where the bit at 0:47 is from?

  • @zoidbergthetramp its from the help movie

  • @zoidbergthetramp its from the help movie

  • Just a poke at people who read too much into Beatles lyrics and the whole Paul is Dead scheme which really was devised by John and/or Paul so who is kidding who?. Glass onion means glass-covered coffin (with dead Paul) that one can look into and see (in a time, a a shriveled stinking onion-face).

  • 0:47-0:49

    EPIC

  • BRILLIANT

  • love how u put the video together.

  • Lennon could tell me about anything and I'd probably dig it.

  • @lola9343 How about talking to you about his movie "Self Portrait"? It's a slow-motion movie of his penis in several degrees of erection. Would you dig that? Hmmm?

  • @TechnoPath99 sounds AWESOME!@!@!@!@ where can i get it?

  • @awesomepossum890 WOW! YOU MUST BE HIGH OR SOMETHING!

  • @lola9343 i totally agree

  • @lola9343 me too.

  • @lola9343 hell ya. coolest, hippest dude that walked on the planet. timeless and universal artist. RIP John

  • Brilliant , tremendous work....Bravo. Thanks so much and such a clever ending with such rare (never seen by me) footage. in the greenhouse waving.

    Want to confirm this by anyone other than me: Went to Lennon's , National trust ,home in Liverpool. Was i mistaken or was there a huge park across the street with one of those Victorian horticulture buildings, huge , and this one was shaped like a big dome or Glass onion. i tried google earthing it but there is nothing there anymore.

  • @cranialbob

    no horticulture building /conservatory. Nothing on g earth. If anyone can comment i'd appreciate. But that was my observation at lennon's house. There was a huge glass onion terrarrium/ conservatory building out the window of his boyhood

  • "Here's another clue for you all: the walrus was Paul"

    I love it!

  • paul is dead

  • @MisterOldSchool1 True it is! This makes John Lennon even more of genius. What a brilliant song writing mind this guy had!

  • Brilliant work ! Though the lyrics of this songs are mostly about joke. It contains some thrilling parts, especially the strange ending,

  • i love this song its like so awsome gives lots of clues.

  • @fatman431able Dude, John wrote this to screw with people who looked too deep into the songs looking for hidden messages.. This means eg. that the walrus isn't Paul. So my point is, these are fake clues :P

  • @zennnk yea whatever makes u sleep at night kid

  • @fatman431able wat PAUL IS DEAD HOAX? myth..

  • well done

  • the sound is amazing

  • awesome editing

    kiu!

  • well done

  • MF DOOM !

  • Best editing ever!

  • loved the ending..makes me want to listen to the album in parts:)

  • Great!

  • i like how the footage goes with the song

  • Awesome, thanks TheQuarrymen57

  • They look so cool! From: Rockin Robin Rox.. C YA! b[-.-]d
