[LeopoldSampsonite]

Brian jones is god

[jerryg1964]

The young Stones were SO COOL ... the NME clips and the TAMI show are incredible performances!

[kingbigbear712]

BEATLES ARE GREAT....BUT I THINK IM TOO HARDCORE FOR THE BEATLES... I THINK THE ROLLING STONES ARE THE 'GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME'....BEATLES SONGS ARE ALL LOVE SONGS. I LIKE EM THOU, WHO DOESN'T

[chava67516]

gracia querido publico

[Syndicate93]

hahah 2:41 whaat? :)

[Brainkid88]

the rolling stones, just goes to show how they should never be compared to the beatles. the beatles wrote their first hit

[rodrigitotube]

ANd how is the London scene today?

[CrankCase08]

Nowhere.

[chuckkottke]

Yea for the beat poets and the Bohemians!

[unicorn1221]

Young Jagger is so cute!

[bergkamp48]

Unfortunately nothing on The Pretty Things...IMHO the key mid 60's band to come out of London

[shamanofsexy90]

oh i always thought the yardbirds innovated heavy metaal and humble pie also did aswell and how is ticket to ride heavy metal?

[cookmoore]

thanks! i've been looking for this again

[jsilence418]

Graham Gouldman wrote" heart full of soul," as well as" for your love", Nillsson wrote" ten little indians" etc, but yeah I love the Yardbirds too !

[qgroundhog]

2:07 whats the song?

[jsilence418]

It never ceases to amaze me, how dopes who know so little, are the first up with opinions.

[jsilence418]

O K idioit slow down and learn the medium of the generation was the song the yardbirds songs that weren't written by out side song writers sucked check album sales alone dope, The Beatles ingenuity, great songs , production, and being the leaders inall related areas didn't hurt. I was going to mention their Large imaginations as well,  but large imaginations can't enter small minds (if that's what you call it) like yours, fuck what a simpleton.

[iamtheeggman100]

yardbirds wrote some good stuff in the beck and page days:heart full of soul, evil hearted you, ten years time ago, etc. but yea, clashboy is a little off about the beatles lol.

[ragtimegals]

i'd probably be more into this scene at this time...but i just LOVE the Beatles later music! i feel like im betraying them...but...

[tunenito]

It's amazing to see the various phases of the Beatles' music from the 1963 / 1964 period on through the 1967 / 1968 (and beyond) phase.

A wealth of ideas and brilliance !!!

[wildsmiley]

I love all the Beatles albums and songs, but I seem to be more interested in the early period more often these days. I'm hung up and crackers over stuff like With The Beatles, A Hard Days Night and Beatles For Sale. In a weird way, that stuff is somewhat underrated.

[mikekorz]

john lee hooker lived in detroit and muddy waters in chicago, too bad us americans didn't see'em..

[tunenito]

... yet British kids like Mick and Keith zapped right into their sound.

:-)

[Jameskristan]

I was born in 1949 and lived just off King's Road when I left school - right in the centre of the universe! I'd link up with mates in the Six Bells and we'd go to various clubs to hear the music that Beat Groups from up north were copying and, because I looked like Long John Baldry at the time, I used to blag my way in by saying I was his brother. Oh boy, those heady nights and fantasic vibes. I never needed purple hearts or anything else to keep me up all night because the music was a drug.

[tunenito]

Wonderful recollections . . . , thanks.

The early to mid Sixties were fantastic times for UK rock & roll. As I wrote earlier, I would have loved going to all the RSG shows, especially when the Beatles played there. Yeah!

[1960gal]

Always thought it was great to be born in 1960 in London - great place, great time. Knew that at that time we had so many influential bands who really put the UK on the map. We were the envy of the pop/rock world, surely?!!

This was the era when R&B was something to admit to liking lol!!!

Chuck this in the pot: live about 5 miles from Mick Jagger's old Grammar School!

Oh, and Francis Rossi's (Quo)uncle was my Ice Cream man - and he fancied my 2nd eldest sister lol!! Oh, the memories.....

[tunenito]

You are so right - - London in the sixties was the place to be. I would love to have been there at the peak of it all, especially going to all the RSG shows ... WoW!!

[Conker714]

wouldn't you want to be born in the 50s so u would actually remember the 60 =P

[1960gal]

Has its bonuses, I suppose, being born in the 50s. But my sister was, and I'm struggling coping with being 48!! I look at her and Thank God I was born in 1960 LOLLLLLL!

[Conker714]

xD

LOL

yeah i suppose =]

[rishflab]

it would be awesome to be born in 1947 so ypu could be between 13 and 23 in the 1960's

[1960gal]

tunenite - Ta for sharing - loved this! Born in 1960, but influenced by older brother/sisters: Stones, Who, Kinks, Beatles, mum loved Sam Cooke-even suffered Elvis with eldest sister! Later in the 60s I was exposed to Mowtown, Ska: loved it.

I'vealways loved Blues, particularly Brit R&B.

Got into Dr Feelgood as a 14yr old watching OGWT, checked out John Lee H. Found Fab T'Birds and have been in love with Kim Wilson since first say them @ Marquee in '79.

[tunenito]

That's an awesome musical background!

Glad you enjoyed the video(s). Cheers!

[jsilence418]

Love the Stones, are you kidding? but as far asas good as the beatles? they not only weren't a brides maid, they were not even in the same church as the beatles not close i see it this way your opinion is just as valid ! if they are both great, lets love them both the who, the kinks etc, etc, etc...

[clashboy1977]

the stones, the who, the yardbirds & the kinks were all more original and did more for the development of rock music than the beatles. (the stones less so than the other bands i named however)

the beatles were just the 1st band to make american rock n roll widely popular in the UK (althought to many kids at the time it was already popular) by polishing it up and making it more comercial and catchy!

[BOZO32851]

You are out of your mind, BOZO-

[clashboy1977]

no i'm not.

wat have the beatles done for rock music other than popularise it? and dont fucking say feedback coz ppl were using it live before they recorded it!

[BOZO32851]

The Beatles actually started heavy metal with Ticket To Ride, they put full orchestras into Rock-The Beatles also started the music video a la A Hard day's Night-The Beatles expanded rock's horizons with different chord progressions, orchestration and arrangements-The Kinks were utter failures as jazz musicians, which is what they started out as-When they started writing their own stuff they became a great little grunge rock band, but no major innovators-Yardbirds, talented, but no innovators-

[clashboy1977]

you actually have no fucking idea wat ur talking about.

the kinks started out as a blues band not jazz IDIOT!

the kinks were the first real influence on heavy metal with you really got me.

the yardbirds had the first real rock songs wen the beatles wree still pop and the stones still blues! and they innovated psychadelic rock before anybody else in england even though about it

[clashboy1977]

there were hundreds of other liverpool bands doing exactly what the beatles wree doing. the were just the easiest to sell!

starting a music video has nothign to do with furthering the actual music its just to do with commercial success. and i said apart from popularising wat did they do? and they did not "invent heavy metal"!

[lagman50]

The Beatles were innovators in the studio, the yardbirds/syd barrett era pink floyd were innovative onstage, the kinks added poetry to pop and link wray invented heavy metal in the fifties.

[clashboy1977]

the beatles werent innovators in the studio!

their producer was!

[TheNatedogg56]

you mean besides inspire millions of musicians who came after them? And I'm pretty sure they were pioneers of the reverse tape effect.

[STEPASAUR]

YOU might not like them but they pioneered more techniques inside the studio and blueprints for the business and tours end outside of it than any other band thats ever existed, everything they did became standard later, worthy of a bit of respect that surely, everyone says the beatles 'weren't perfect' the fucking beatles said they 'weren't perfect' but find me a group that got nearer..

[clashboy1977]

what did they pioneer eh?

feedback? hahaha jeff beck was dabbling with feedback before them they just had the money power to use it in a record studio 1st!

sterio panning? their producer not them,

backwards solo? producer again!

they'd be nowhere without their producer who has his ears tuned to the film industry for all these cool tricks!

[STEPASAUR]

yes Geoff Emerick and George Martin did do the actual 'doing' but a lot of the time only to realise what the beatles were demanding of them in their naive way , it wasnt JUST the producer and it wasnt JUST them, but i agree it could never have happened without the geniuses around them nor would it have happened without the beatles

[clashboy1977]

it clearly would have happened without the beatles!

enthwistle from the who and the guitarist from the grateful dead were experementing with stereo panning and phasing live and obviosuly would have done it in the studio anyway! and things wud have built from there!

dont get me wrong i like soem beatles stuff but they do not deserve the recognition they get. there were much better and much more innovative bands of their time!

[STEPASAUR]

cool, you obviously know best clashboy

[locknes2008]

your an idiot the best selling act of all time countless chord progression that every pop artist copy

[boothl232]

This may come as a big shock to you but The Beatles deserve the recognition they got because they were the biggest, best selling band of their time. We made them what they were (and are) by buying what they were selling. They changed everything from hairstyles to political viewpoints. They were a cultural phenomenon.

Oh but since you only like some of their stuff the rest of the world will have to reconsider their opinion, since you obviously can't be wrong.

You need an ego check dude.

[clashboy1977]

so byt hat attitude. MCD deserve laods of recognition these days? i think not!

if time has thought us anthing in music the biggets bands that the mass public laps up are never as good as the lesser known bands!

[locknes2008]

chord progression some that nearly used by every artist today songwriting techniques

[clashboy1977]

what chord progressions?

point them out to me.

and read your comment over before posting them and making irony out of the fact you called me an "idiot"!

[partytimex42]

dude, it's not even a competition. they're both great. shut up.

[AbstaRock]

the beatles were never as good as the rolling stones. but the stones were only good during the 60's. lol

[TheSmithsLoverr]

are you for real?

[Lennonish]

i wish the stones had kept their blues sound. they could never be as good as the beatles

[HolyScarab]

Actually...the documental is perfect, because in that specific time period, the facts narrated and showed could have been true. But the fans are totally wrong, and not the ones who are writing here, but other fans who still debate about She Loves You VS. I just want to make love to you instead of looking to more grown Beatles music like Revolution or Helter Skelter...those Beatles song make sound the first Stones songs like "Somewhere Over The Rainbow".

[HolyScarab]

I'm not gonna argue about who's ever, but Mick Jagger here had a flame on his ass, because he screamed like Yoko Ono.

[suzielightning3]

You're comparing apples to oranges. Each band was fantastic! (although I still think THE STONES were superior.)

[55102]

like it or not Beatles are better than Stones

[skatoad]

Keep telling yourself that sweetheart.

[55102]

more than 30 years after the split of the Beatles they are still selling their music,even the new generation like them

[SonGara]

true, but so are the Stones.

[Dustylou]

Believe what you want, just keep it to yourself.

[lennonlegend1]

The Beatles were the best by far peirod

[neverneverlandearth]

The first 5 Stones albums are amazing documents of music history...believe it or not, I still think they're underrated...amd their live performances tend to make the Beatles look tame, but I won't get into that argument [LOL]

[HolyScarab]

Actually, I think they tend to make the Beatles look posh, but I won't get into tha argument (LOL)

[PAULLONDEN]

No DC 5 ?, no jive, I'm glad all over anyway.

[Ba101]

Where is the DC5 Mentioned in this series?

[WNM52]

"...young bohemians infatuated with this dark, obscure music." I LOVE that line.

[HolyScarab]

looking back is not dark...that's incredible.

[JakeANowhereMan]

ha Stones I was wondering.

[WNM52]

Not a big Stones fan but their performance of Muddy Waters' "I Just Wanna Make Love..." is absolutely electric!

[lennonmccartney68]

I just want to thank RSG2006 for responding to my comment

[keesd2005]

Thanks a lot for this great documentary, it really made my Saturdaynight !

Spider, France

[lennonpresley69]

[RSG2006]

[SirJoeCool]
