I love what John said at the end: "Everybody seemed to be paranoid except for us two who were in the glow of love...everybody was sort of tense around us, ' what is she doing here at the session' or 'why is she with him'...all this sort of madness is going on around us because we just happen to want to be together all the time."
Notice how the only girlfriend/wife throughout this WHOLE thing that they talk about is Yoko? She wasn't completely responsible for their breakup, but she certainly was a factor.
Wow...how fitting to end it on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps..."
Given what happens next to the Beatles...
No. No, I'm sorry, WHAT happesn next?
They continue making great songs and Yoko stays at home and out of the studio and she and John are happy and Paul and George are happy for them and Ringo's still happy and they keep making these great songs and NEVER NEVER NEVER break up and they're all alive today making these amazing songs!
Ring is so laid back, I wish we could all be like Ringo. It seems to be that Yoko and John was kind of like an Anne Boleyn*Henry VIII situaiton; he is so in love he becomes obsessed and to he11 with everyone else.
Does anyone else guitlily find themselves thinking if only she'd written no on the bloody ceiling?
You can defend Yoko to the high heavens but it was still wrong that John brought her to rehearsals. Imagine if that happened in other proffessions. Imagine if a bus-driver insisted on his girlfriend sitting on the dash-board as he goes about his day or a psychaitrist who has her husband sit in on sessions.
Is it just me, or is the acoustic version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps almost better than the album version? It's more George-like. The album version is more Beatles-like. Either way, the song is a piece of art, and it will remain a piece of art.
Anybody that thinks Yoko caused the break-up of The Beatles is fooling themselves. They were heading towards the end, and it's easy to see in these videos. If anything, Yoko was just a catalyst. And if it wasn't going to be her, it would just have been something or someone else. The Beatles were on their way out, Yoko or not.
It's such a thing, really, the Beatles' breakup...
It's like the Fall of the Roman Empire, or the rise of facism, or Hamlet, any great tragedy...
So many causes, and yet people always want to seize on just one it seems...
I do think it was a bit inconsiderate of John, if not Yoko, to always have her their recording and just break the club's "us only" rule without any consult. I love John, but it was a bit off.
And Ringo handled it... OK, but the other two HATED it... and then...
People blame the beatles breaking up to Yoko, its not her fault, the beatles where all being inconsiderate of one another and John was the one who insisted that Yoko be there
yoko's certainly the most intelligent and artistic of the beatle wives. it is important to realize she wasn't "dumb and pretty", looking for fame and money like paul's last wife. she knows a lot about their music and has carried john's legacy wisely.
I may sound Yoko-biased (though George was, and always will be, my favourite Beatle), but I also want to point out that she got her fair share of flack in Japan around this time, too, for not quite being their idea of the perfect mousy woman.
She was very brave and by no accounts a grave digger.
By the way, this version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps had ME weeping. My God I miss George sometimes.
Plus her LP with the Plastic Ono Band (not the John Lennon one) has one of the most righteously awesome art-rock songs of all time in the form of WHY.
Without meaning to sound like a conspiracy theorist, as the proof is in the pudding, the majority of this situation was orchestrated by the media, who needed an angle- and that angle was Yoko. Just one glance at some of the hateful mock-Japanglish headlines at the time only verifies this.
Yoko was a pretty talented artist in her own right. She almost single-handedly pioneered the fluxus movement (wikipedia it), and had performed with John Cage and her former husband, a very talented composer.
I know the next part is the break-up, makes me not want to watch it, you know?
Maybe it wasn't right for John to bring her in everyday. You have to put yourself in his place. He just fell in love, you always want to be with your lover.
The break-up was meant to be, everything happens for a reason.
I think Across the Universe , The Long and Winding Road,and Let It Be are great songs but also you can tell they were about to break up by the songs also.
They should have had more about the other ladies, but why all this hate of Yoko?
She didn't do anything wrong. I think completed John, they were very simlar people. Also the band was already bending and starting to break when she entered the picture so don't blame her for the break up.
No that's true. But her presence did encroach on their arrangement and aided in making a tense situation even worse. It's like bringing your significant other to work everyday and having them sit there beside you at all times. Harrison pointed out in the DC that it wasn't so much that a stranger was there, but it was the vibe she was giving off, seeing the Beatles as something that stood between her and John. George and Neil also noted how uncomfortable it became.
well, it happens that many of Beatles successes were Paul's! What do you want him to say: "Sgt Pepper wasn't my idea? or Yesterday wasn't really mine"?
About the MMT he was like "yes... it might have been my idea, but I'm not sure of wanting to take that responsibility", because everybody says it's a flop, though I personally don't think it is.
John Lennon was one of my favorite people of all time. Next to Bobby and John Kennedy, Malcom X, Martin L. King, and Jimi Hendrix, John was one of my favorites. But bringing Yoko Ono into the studio while recording was over the top! He should've left her ass at home. Deep down he knew the other lads didn't like that but he didn't care. I wonder what he would've done if it was a "real job". It truly was the beginning of the end when she showed up in the studio at the recordings.
damn right....every artist goes trough bad times or a bad album but the beatles been trough all that and their musik still remains....such a diference of todays artist whose songs are forgotten one month after their release date
Id seen this before and only started from Sargent Peppers, Ive been suprised how much ive enjoyed there earlier stuff (especially Hide your Love Away and Things we said today)
And enough Paul hating! Im sure he was trying his hardest!
I love what John said at the end: "Everybody seemed to be paranoid except for us two who were in the glow of love...everybody was sort of tense around us, ' what is she doing here at the session' or 'why is she with him'...all this sort of madness is going on around us because we just happen to want to be together all the time."
