Does anyone know where I can get hold of a copy of Brians Book "Queer Jew Cunt" ? I've looked on Amazon and Book Depository but so far I'm having no luck. Thanks in advance.
It's so heartbreaking....there were so many deaths of close friends and family of John's in his life and it was happening - again. It's not fair. It makes me want to cry seeing John's face... :'''(
"After Brian died, we collapsed. Paul took over and supposedly led us. But what is leading us, when we went round in circles? We broke up then. That was the disintegration." - John Lennon
Poor Brian Epstein how was a sad gay man. Brian was a big star manager to the Beatles and all that. totally better than Malcolm Mclaren how was the manager to sex pistols and Simon naiper-Bell manager to Marc Bolan. its so sad that he died so young, beatles needed him and me to :-(
@TheDiddlysquat I like that episode of Brasseye because it exposed twatty, brainless fame-hungry celebrities as having no knowledge on a subject they purported to know plenty about. It was also very, very funny. I've been watching Alan Bennett's play on Paedophilia because it was written by Alan Bennett, who I think is a good writer. Nothing to do with anybody's sexuality.
I think some posters are offended that a wealthy gay man could both be a manager AND good friend to four looking streight men. Get over ourselfs, Yes, the Beatles made more music after Eppy s death BUT it seems you forgot about all the fighting that went on AFTER Eppy died. And no one could agree who should take over the bussiness side that Eppy did for years. Yes, they put out music but the band was falling apart, just fact. Sorry that offends you
@TheDiddlysquat And John Lennon was not a perfact saint either. Given a choice I would have ratter beeen friends with sweet Eppy then with John, who could be mean and curel.
@TheDiddlysquat Im not gay or Jewish and I love Eppy. Brian met MEN the way he could because it was illegal to be gay in England durring his life time, the law didnt change untill a year AFTER Brian died Ever hear of Oscare Wilde. As to being ripped off, they could have stayed in Liverpool and never seen the kind of money Eppy DID get for them. I m sorry but it s AWESOME Brian looked to his dad for advice, his dad was VERY sussceful. And that was in the early stages anyway
@TheDiddlysquat Long time no disagreement! I think he was a bit of a cunt actually, despite his obvious talent for promotion etc. By the way, you ever seen THAT episode of Brasseye? You'd be perfect for it mate...
Remembering Brian Epstein today - and all the good things he did for The Beatles. Sept. 19/34 – Aug. 27/67. "He was just a beautiful fellow" - John. That is lovely.
@kevinturvy if it wasn't for Epstien The Beatles would not have been fractionally as big as they were. From the moment he took charge the Beatles became huge, and from the moment he died the band collapsed.
@MrSwizzl3d Your assuming all the talent lied with Brian, he was just a manager, i am sure another one would have come along shortly.. ok he came from a wealthy family and had money and connections.. But to say he made them is O.T.T.
Brian enjoyed the fame of being a manager and had a lavish lifestlye. They had been together around 7 years when Brian died and carried on for 3 more years after... A hell of a long time in that industry after he died.
@kevinturvy Well, the Beatles themselves have acknowledged that Brians death was the beginning of the end, and the relationship between the beatles themselves desintigrated pretty rapidly after Brians death
@kevinturvy You dumb jerk, Brian was already rich, from a rich family. All the Beatles were when Eppy met them was a loccal act, talented but not getting far. Watch your own karma, someone may drop a house on you.
@kevinturvy REALLY...why so angery because I respect Brian.....says far more about you then it dose me. If The Beatles wre on the brink of fame why did it take Brian to get them a record deal, International T V coverage, etc. NO ONE was banging on thier doors untill Brian . I am sorry that you are a sad lonely person who hates a man who s been DEAD since 1967 how sad for you. I pitty sad little you. God Bles. God Keep
@rockinrobintweets You are on drugs... The Beatles had a huge fan base and following before Brian came along.. Brian was just a manager... what about you defending a man who was the manager of a rock band who split up 40 years ago... you are the sad one... In fact i thing the real reason for you defending him is purely down to his sexuality.. now that is really sad... do you also worship other famous homosexuals just because they are gay??
@kevinturvy I dont worship Brian or the Beatles I RESPECT them, huge differance. I do find it odd that when I use one if not all your genius Beates word you conpletely dismiss what THEY say about Eppy, that he was not JUST thier manager he was thier FRIEND. Any way . I will give you credit for TRYING to change Beatles history but I dont lived thru the Bestles history and that s that. I dont like or dislike anyone bassed on THIER sexualiy. I am not sleeping with them, why should it bother me.
@rockinrobintweets I am not trying to change Beatles history, some on here are though.. i have read comments from other's that say "don't read this book or that book about Brian" so they decide what to believe and what not to believe.
If it;s a negative remark about brian, they call it lies... they thing with history books is its often bias and in some cases its often blatant lies.. All the beatles vary there stories.. some choose to believe one quote some choose to believe another..)
@kevinturvy Fair enough. All four Beatles did call Eppy thier friend, a more emotional and personal bond then just manger. But Brian wasnt a perfact being but then neither was John, Paul, George or Ringo....being gifted dosent make you a perfact being. I respect all five for thier place in history. Brian was devoted to,,, his boys,,,but made mistakes along the way just like anyone would. I hope Eppy found the peace he couldnt here on earth. RIP Eppy.
@kevinturvy I apologise for calling you a twat, but you are ill-informed. And I do not only like him because of his sexuality. I don't even like him. I don't even like the Beatles that much. I only watched this video because I saw the last half of Lennon Naked on BBC4 and youtubed him beause I didn't know who he was.
@TheDiddlysquat Backed into a corner? Let's get this straight, you can't give me evidence, you've made baseless assumptions, and also called me middle-aged, which is both inaccurate and unoffensive. Ironic, talking about a school boy attitude when you can barely piece together a sentence. If you can't address the points brought up in my comments, then don't even bother responding; I've responded to yours.
@TheDiddlysquat - So you can't find me any research to back up what you have to say? Because that's called bullshitting. If you do have some, by all means, share it with us. Otherwise, your point has nothing to stand on.
Oh god, you self-righteous prick, learn to speak english. I can tolerate a few mistakes, but seriously.
@TheDiddlysquat - so first of all, you can't give me any evidence? Second of all, where the hell did I say I was an expert on him? Third, FUCK YEAH I'M QUEER AS CAN BE! and there's nothing you can do about it. Fourth, you can sit there, with your knuckles clenched, but it won't make a difference, you're wrong. Fifth, yes, queer people do commit more suicide, but what does that prove? It proves that pricks, such as your self, exist. If not for you, they'd be happy. Lastly, fix your grammar.
@TheDiddlysquat - Link me to this research. Give me the date it was published, the doctor who did the research, who funded it, and the institute at which it was done. I'm calling you out on this bullshit. If you actually do have evidence, then I'm pretty sure the aforementioned factors would show that it's pretty fucking biased, and this scientifically invalid. But of course, assholes like you don't seem to care about facts, just whatever fuels your confirmation bias.
Paul, I'm afraid seemed to show the same indifference to Brian's death as he did to his mother's and John's at first. He did grieve but did in a way that left people cold which is why he'll never have the same passion and love of fans that John had.
John seemed either really out-of-it or absolutely shocked. It looks like (at 0:47 when he stares a little at the reporter and 0:52 when he looks away, and even when he looks back) he tried to take it all in but got confused along the way. Eery departure from his "normal" public appearance.
(continued) He also lost his Uncle George, Stu Sutcliffe, and he sort of lost Julian and Cynthia. With the divorce and all, he barely ever saw them again. ...and if you think about it, he kinda, LOST the Beatles.
john was in complete shock. he lost so many people that he loved; his mother, father, then brian. He's lucky (not meant to be offensive in ANY way) he was the first Beatles to die. Imagine him going through losing Paul. Of course it would be awful to lose any of the others, but i think he was closest to him. They were all buddies and pals, pun intended, but Paul was a VERY close friend. (Please don't take that wrong!) He tried not to get too close to his friends, because he knew he's lose them.
@XsbcatfangX The horror on John's face tells it all. Brian was business, but he also BELIEVED in the group.People were laughing at him for spending all his time promoting them.He came from a wealthy family,he didn't need the money. I really don't believe "any manager" could've done it. The Beatles RESPECTED him,and they felt Brian was sincere. Rest in peace,Brian
@TheDorr71 True, true. As John replied, everyone was just in absolute shock that their very best friend was taken away from them. John seems like he was about to burst into tears. I believe that Brian really was the fifth Beatle. Without Brian, the Beatles were so lost.
@dnt9217 Then we are embarressed by people posting that know very little about the Beatles or Brian, thinking they are amusing. The Beatles disliked press conferences,because the statements and questions put to them were sheer stupidity. Yet another reason why the Beatles got fed up.Now we have posters that do the same thing..
Brian should not be forgotten for helping the Beatles,end of story.
The Beatles made Brian Epstein what he was; were it not for them, he'd have been another has-been music biz mgr. working the family business. Any # of great mgrs.could have taken the artistic genius of the Beatles to the top; conversely, without that raw talent, the greatest mgr. ever would have merely been promoting another 'mortal' act. They wrote and recorded the brilliant music, and I find it AMAZING that one could be so stupid as to think otherwise.
its so sadddd when john and george are talking about brians death. you can see the tears in their eyes :( awww especiallly george just look at his eyes
LOL...I'm laughing because the Beatles in this interview are so clearly high on LSD or some other hallucinogen. But I weep for Brian Epstein. You'd have to be a moron not to realize the man was a troubled homosexual who lived in a society much like America today that rejected such notions. It's too bad, really.
I wasn't there to grow up with the Beatles, but this is ONE of the reasons they broke up. They didn't know what to do.
R.I.P. John Lennon, George Harrison, Brian Epstein, Linda McCartney, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and all the wonderful people out there who wanted peace. Because "All You Need Is Love."
@TheDiddlysquat and your right, lennon wasnt gay, he just took it up the backside a few times. He was a junkie, he was hot for his very own mommie, he had a thing for 400 pound transexuals in germany, but he wasnt a gay
@TheDiddlysquat man, you have really done some homework on the subject, I guess, looks like you spend all your spare time reading up on Gays and childmolesters, probably on the internet, whatever turns you on
@perverse1980 Actualy since they traved ALONE no one KNOWS crap. Rummers and gospie, no matter how many times repeated isnt proof or fact. The only two who KNOW are dead, may they rest in peace.
@TheDiddlysquat I am sorry I lowered myself to your level and called you a wanker. You're right, there is a thin line between homosexuality and paedophilia, and that line is called the age of consent. Oh, and by the way - I'm not hiding.
@DIGIxPUNKx1996 You are having an argument with someone whose name suggests that he squats on diddlys about whatever he can come up with to piss you off.
That's what he does.
He accused me of raping ducks and somehow connected that to pedophilia as though I was molesting Huey, Dewey and Louie.
I don't think he's a bad guy, he's just a bit of a shit disturber.
@TheDiddlysquat Where's your evidence for this so called link between paedophillia and homosexuality???!! What a crock of sh**t!! That's just some line thrown out by homophobes. Or people who are scared of their own sexuality!
@TheDiddlysquat Please, please tell me you're experimenting with some dark irony, because if not, I'm deeply offended. Brian Epstein was pretty much responsible for The Beatles being what they were. He died because he was an unhappy man, and who knows, maybe it was because he couldn't cope with his homosexualality. But if it was, it was because of people like you. Please reconsider your views, if not for me, then for the sheer number of people you are repelling by being such a homophobic wanker.
@DIGIxPUNKx1996 Agree-that's why when he died,the Beatles wanted no one else to manage them.Apple was formed.McCartney ended up right,Allen Klein was a disaster-he couldn't have cared less about the Beatles.
The tour WAS bad in '66,Brian never forgave himself for it. He wasn't perfect,but to dismiss him as replaceable is crazy.
Brian sold the Beatles rights to their name for 3% of the profits, the Beatles just finished recording "Sgt.Pepper", probably the best seller for Capitol, up until then.
The Beatles get back to England and start their own label, "Apple", probably voiding all the contracts made with Brian for "Gear", then release the "White Album" under their own label, they start "Apple" corp and change the license
forever, they stopped touring so Brian was finished.
@TheDiddlysquat My Dad sucks my dick and nibbles the tip of my penis whilst running his fingers down the shaft of my penis and then when I cum he spits the cum into his hand and shoves it deep into his anus and then squeezes it out with some shit and then gargles before swallowing the shitty cum and me and all the boys in my street love it.
man this is too fucked John heard his mother died ,his uncle died ,his best friend Stu died ,now his manager and confidant died as well,that explain his emotional unstability and eventually form a kinship with Yoko; what so tragic is that he succumb to death 13 years later it's dam right creepy I tell you!
This is impresive, look at john lennon you can see in his eyes that he is shocked poor john, the dead of mr epstein made john emotionally unstable thats where yoko came...
Epstein was a hero. He fought all his life against his shyness. He could became arrogant after all this success... But died like he lived: a forgotten (great) man.
@TheAltoQueen It makes sense. I'm reading a book that mentions John's constant rejection of Brian and sometimes he'd make fun of him. This video is so sad...I'm sure John really did feel for him, just not in that way.
Epstein took drugs and went bye bye. Nothing new about that for the time. On the business people abused drugs at some moments and got themselves killed for it. That's why Ringo talks about Keith Moon or Mama Cass. I agreed with Paul, nothing sinister.
jimi was murdered by his manager Michael Jeffrey/drowned, Jim OD snorting smack for the first time with alcohol/drugs, Moon Sobriety/eferedrine, Mama choked , even the Beatles who are in the industry believe the accidental bulshit that we are also fed. Illuminati Polygram MD told Eric Burden that he was finished in the industry because he did not tow the industry-lie that Jimi had accidently drowned in red wine @the grape did choke him' Rainbow Bridge
You know I don't think I've ever really seen a video where John was that visibly emotional than in this video. I mean usually he's either angry or humorous. And I heard that he teased Brian mercilessly but he looks like the one most affected.
@elvis45rpm doesnt he? He looks totally blown away. And you know what Lennon said when he found out "We're fucked!" that's how much he meant to them...poor old Brian...
You can tell John Lennon is totally shocked. He looks scared. I think this was the beginning of the end of the Beatles. Without Brian Epstein around, things began to go downhill slowly.
@AnonymousWhitePerson You know what? Something in me thinks that could be true. Only Ringo, George and John were there answering reporters' questions. Where was Paul?
@xander7ful i believe Paul was quite sad about Brian dying (and why would he kill him). because in book I have about the Beatles it says that The Beatles were at a hotel and an employ knocked on Paul's room and told him he had an ergant call in the lobby so the call was Brian dyed and he went to tell the rest of the bandmembers and cried...so I seriosuly doubt that Paul killed Brian!
@88Nick666 wow u idiot, first of all, u used the wrong "they're" second, lennon died in december 8 1980 and george harrison died in 2001, mcartney and ringo are still alive
i just read something about "the hours and the times" on wikipedia and saw a video on it too..... THAT MOVIE SUCKS! JOHN WASN'T GAY!! but with his video he's the only that's acting like that and i think its true but i don't wanna believe it..... aaaaargh!!!
@cometogether21 John not gay and the movie is bassed on rumor and gossipe, not fact or proof. The guy who plays Brian looks yearsssssssssssssssssssssss older the Brian who died a weeks before turning 33. People just have to disrespect the dead thease day, nrvrt mind they are . were human with family members still liveing
Brian loved you so much and was devoted to you so much, he called you "my boys" and was proud of you with all his kind heart,all that world fame came to you through him.
If you were his real friends you never left him alone in depression.
Does anyone know where I can get hold of a copy of Brians Book "Queer Jew Cunt" ? I've looked on Amazon and Book Depository but so far I'm having no luck. Thanks in advance.

@MrSwizzl3d Bealtes did not die when Brian died, in fact there were many more Albums and singles released..
In fact they stopped touring in 1965, a long time before Brian died.. You can make quotes, here and there, but Brian was just a manager...
Brian's interest was money... After all he got 25 percent... the remaining 75 percent was shared between the 4 Bealtes. So he got the lions share.
So he got 25 percent and took his expenses out of the bealtes share... Not a bad little earner

John seemed either really out-of-it or absolutely shocked. It looks like (at 0:47 when he stares a little at the reporter and 0:52 when he looks away, and even when he looks back) he tried to take it all in but got confused along the way. Eery departure from his "normal" public appearance.

(continued) He also lost his Uncle George, Stu Sutcliffe, and he sort of lost Julian and Cynthia. With the divorce and all, he barely ever saw them again. ...and if you think about it, he kinda, LOST the Beatles.

john was in complete shock. he lost so many people that he loved; his mother, father, then brian. He's lucky (not meant to be offensive in ANY way) he was the first Beatles to die. Imagine him going through losing Paul. Of course it would be awful to lose any of the others, but i think he was closest to him. They were all buddies and pals, pun intended, but Paul was a VERY close friend. (Please don't take that wrong!) He tried not to get too close to his friends, because he knew he's lose them.

@XsbcatfangX The horror on John's face tells it all. Brian was business, but he also BELIEVED in the group.People were laughing at him for spending all his time promoting them.He came from a wealthy family,he didn't need the money. I really don't believe "any manager" could've done it. The Beatles RESPECTED him,and they felt Brian was sincere. Rest in peace,Brian

@TheDorr71 True, true. As John replied, everyone was just in absolute shock that their very best friend was taken away from them. John seems like he was about to burst into tears. I believe that Brian really was the fifth Beatle. Without Brian, the Beatles were so lost.
dnt9217 10 months ago
@dnt9217 Then we are embarressed by people posting that know very little about the Beatles or Brian, thinking they are amusing. The Beatles disliked press conferences,because the statements and questions put to them were sheer stupidity. Yet another reason why the Beatles got fed up.Now we have posters that do the same thing..
Brian should not be forgotten for helping the Beatles,end of story.

The Beatles made Brian Epstein what he was; were it not for them, he'd have been another has-been music biz mgr. working the family business. Any # of great mgrs.could have taken the artistic genius of the Beatles to the top; conversely, without that raw talent, the greatest mgr. ever would have merely been promoting another 'mortal' act. They wrote and recorded the brilliant music, and I find it AMAZING that one could be so stupid as to think otherwise.

LOL...I'm laughing because the Beatles in this interview are so clearly high on LSD or some other hallucinogen. But I weep for Brian Epstein. You'd have to be a moron not to realize the man was a troubled homosexual who lived in a society much like America today that rejected such notions. It's too bad, really.

@TheDiddlysquat I am sorry I lowered myself to your level and called you a wanker. You're right, there is a thin line between homosexuality and paedophilia, and that line is called the age of consent. Oh, and by the way - I'm not hiding.

That's what he does.
He accused me of raping ducks and somehow connected that to pedophilia as though I was molesting Huey, Dewey and Louie.
I don't think he's a bad guy, he's just a bit of a shit disturber.

@TheDiddlysquat Please, please tell me you're experimenting with some dark irony, because if not, I'm deeply offended. Brian Epstein was pretty much responsible for The Beatles being what they were. He died because he was an unhappy man, and who knows, maybe it was because he couldn't cope with his homosexualality. But if it was, it was because of people like you. Please reconsider your views, if not for me, then for the sheer number of people you are repelling by being such a homophobic wanker.
DIGIxPUNKx1996 1 year ago 17
@DIGIxPUNKx1996 Agree-that's why when he died,the Beatles wanted no one else to manage them.Apple was formed.McCartney ended up right,Allen Klein was a disaster-he couldn't have cared less about the Beatles.
The tour WAS bad in '66,Brian never forgave himself for it. He wasn't perfect,but to dismiss him as replaceable is crazy.
TheDorr71 10 months ago
Brian sold the Beatles rights to their name for 3% of the profits, the Beatles just finished recording "Sgt.Pepper", probably the best seller for Capitol, up until then.
The Beatles get back to England and start their own label, "Apple", probably voiding all the contracts made with Brian for "Gear", then release the "White Album" under their own label, they start "Apple" corp and change the license
forever, they stopped touring so Brian was finished.

Epstein took drugs and went bye bye. Nothing new about that for the time. On the business people abused drugs at some moments and got themselves killed for it. That's why Ringo talks about Keith Moon or Mama Cass. I agreed with Paul, nothing sinister.

and you call yourself to be friends of him.

If you were his real friends you never left him alone in depression.
