and haha Gaga will never have a place "up there" to me...same with any of the Amercian Idol finalists....same old thing...annoying voice + annoying vibrado doesn't equal a good singer
This video just shows how naturally funny and charismatic John was. He really wasn't this cocky "I'm better than you" kind of guy. He had a humbleness about his incredible talents and vast accomplishments that made him very real and relatable. I also LOVE that freaking album!!!!
@lalalives "Walls and Bridges" was also his last solo album that Yoko wasn't involved with, which just reinforces my belief of how much better off John would have been without her. Sorry Yoko fans, but she was just about the worst thing that ever happened to John. Who knows? If he had stayed with May, everything might have turned out differently. He might even still be with us, which would be great! I love that album too, and think it was his best solo work overall. "# 9 Dream" is awesome.
@ToddSweeneyOnce i totally agree. The Quarrymen were definitaly John's but Paul brought George! Without George and Paul The Quarrymen would've fell through the cracks after John's monther's death. Everyone left John but George and Paul. No doubt in my mind John would've had a great solo career on his own but THE BEATLES were all four of theirs.
Without Paul, the Beatles wouldn't have been nearly as great. Not at all. Who knows what would have happened if they hadn't met, but in my opinion, the Beatles were every bit as much Paul's band as it was John's.
John created amazing songs. I just didn't like the fact that he got so thin compared to their day tripper music video. He looked so much more handsome on that video.
@PhillyDippy5 Maybe John was the first MEMBER of the band, but they were a unit. If John had not got together with Paul and George, The Quarrymen would have probably gone NOWHERE, disbanded and they would have been nothing but a bunch of kids in a skiffle band way back when. Face it, there's only one person who put The Beatles together. It was GOD.
HEY! GIVE PEACE A CHANCE! SPREAD THE WORD! PLEASE! THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW THAT WE NEED PEACE IN THE WORLD! I AM NOT TRYING TO BE AN ADVERTISING B!TCH OR ANYTHING BUT PLEASE, WE NEED TO TELL THE WORLD!!! peace, love and hapiness to you all, and i mean it.
"we've all got albums, singles everything zooming up the charts isn't that nice folks, separately but together". I think Deep down inside john was proud that the boys were being succesful on their own terms as solo artists but still being together in one place... the charts. as if that in itself was a reunion especially when he says "together". There's a lomging quality to it ,as if in his mind they'll always be together.
Without Paul the Beatles would have been a much different and lesser band. And likely we wouldn't be having a Beatle's discussion on Youtube as the Beatles would never have existed.
@jimidee33 Nobody should speak bad about any of The Beatles, the Beatles wouldn't have existed without any of them, John, Paul, George or Ringo. But it's true that The Beatles were John's band.
@PhillyDippy5 Paul joined after John invited him to do so; at this time John's band were know as the "Quarrymen". Paul thought John an older guy with beer on his breath. John liked the fact that paul could play as I recall,"Twenty Flight Rock". You're correct Philly!
@jimidee33 The Beatles were called before, "John and the moondogs" and John and the Silver Beetles, Paul and George were in that band at the time, i mean, they were the moondogs and the Silver Beetles, John was always John. Then The Beatles were an unique band.
@PhillyDippy5 Philly, when John first formed the band with his school boy chums, the band was known as the "Quarry Men". This was the name of the band when Paul was invited by John to join.
@jimidee33 I know the history, even there is a song her ein youtube with John Lennon performing with the Quarry Men the day he met Paul. And there is another song by Freddy Lennon (John's father) called it's my life and that's the song which inspired Johnn to wrote Imagine.
@PhillyDippy5 I have heard the Freddy Lennon song. John sounds a lot like Freddy. I sort of feel sorry for Fred and have read he tried to take custody of John and John chose his mom Julia instead. He may have gotten a bit of a bad rap.
@jimidee33 Yeah, that's a very simplified rendering. John's parents asked him at age 5 to choose which parent he wanted to live with. He chose his father, but then after his mother walked away he ran after her and said he wanted her. In the end neither parent took him and he was raised by his aunt Mimi. John's parents didn't realize how messed up that was and he was pretty afflicted his entire life because of them.
@lalalives yes indeed this was a painful moment in his life
but the reason why he ended up living with his aunt Mimi was because him mum couldn't even to get him his own bed. as for Johns dad he was away at sea. johns Aunt Mimi had a bit more money the John's mother
I think they must have had a love-hate relationship like Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Personally I don't like Yoko Ono, she is only famous because she married John. Noel Gallagher is obsessed with John lennon as as he says, 'the more I get to know about him, the less I like him'. John Lennon was an awesome songwriter, but he wasn't a very nice person. Ask Julian.
@sabazurc Fuck you!!!!!!!!! John Lennon was one of the GREATEST of all time! A true genius, poet with his words! I am 25 years old and even though I was not born when The Beatles or Mr. Lennon where in their prim. I know their music will live on forever! Their lyrics will never die!!
@matco24 I don't think Lady Gaga should be traded - and seriously in some 50 years people will be sitting and saying the same exact thing, just this time Gaga will have a place up there. A lot of people seem to forget that psychologically people always worship what's behind us more than what's happening now. Lady Gaga is making the only great pop out right now and is the most original to come in years. If you don't respect her, you don't respect the people she's inspired by, such as Mercury.
@MannequinMars I respect whts "behind us" cause it don't compare what is "here right now" and I disagree with ur last statement...I think her music is bleh just like her costumes and need for attention...I'll take Elton John any day over her...the only haha way she is "influenced" by queen is she ripped "Gaga" off one of their songs and called herself tht...wow...sooo original...nah, don't like her
@MannequinMars Agreed. I am a HUGE John Lennon fan and I also love Lady Gaga. She shouldn't be traded. She's amazingly creative and talented. If someone disagrees, they should go watch one of her acoustic performances.
@MilitaryArcade Of course she's not. She's only been around for 3 years and even though I'm a big fan, I will always love John Lennon 1000000x more. I was just saying she's very talented unlike pretty much every other pop star right now (in my opinion).

Yes 1974 was a special year. John was single. Yet did not Yoko set John up with May Pang? What's with that? does anybody in internet land know the whole story behind that?
IDIOT..Maybe it was your great great great great great great great grandparents on both sides of your family who should have died in infancy (you see..I'm offending no one it's that long ago)...BUGGER OFF YOU GOOSE!!
This is just as the record biz is becoming the megacorporate monster it would become by the time Lennon actually DID play the corporate game in October 1980 when Bob Geffen came over to the Record Plant and greeted Yoko before John thus sealing the deal in he wake of heavyweights like Ahmet Ertegun. Here... Lennon is just trying to avoid going to Vegas. Not yet a classic rock hero.. he's trying to keep his music out there and kind of drowning at it! But EMI isn't yet the bohemoth it became
For sure. I think they were all angry and disillusioned after the breakup, but around 74, Paul and John were seeing each other again. In fact, they were in CA with Stevie Wonder, and things were going so well, John proposed the four get back together for awhile. But when he mended things with Yoko, that got called off. Foiled by Ono, again...
Anytime I see a video of John with his face looking full and looking healthy and happy and well fed, I know it's 1974, the year he was split from Yoko. He was a borderline anorexic when he was with her, I still can't figure that out.
Yeah, I agree...John always looked better with alittle more weight like seen here and especially in the early Beatle days when he had a healthier looking fuller face...he looked his worst when he was with Yoko.
I know that when they were together, Yoko put John on an incredibly healthy diet... But the kind of extreme diet, you know what I mean? So that propably accounted to him looking like a 'borderline anorexic' !
they were also smoking a fair amount of heroin at the time, which wouldnt have helped their appetite and probably had more to do with looking gaun and unhealthy than a strict diet would have
Not at all clear what was happening in Lennon's life post 1974. We only know the version of it that Elliot Mintz, press spokesperson for Lennon and any clients including Phil Spector who according to Mintz was just fine until the day they clapped him off to jail, and Yoko and John just before his death told us. There are versions by Julian and Cynthia Lennon, Fred Seaman, May Pang which differ from the official story. John.. usually a chunky guy was bone thin around this time.
Did you read John Lennon: The Life? =/ He was drinking heavily & smoking & throwing temper tantrums when he was away from her for those 18 months. He called her everyday & told her he missed her. How about you actually pick up a damn book?
@superman11978 yea, they were both hippies so there really wasn't anyone to tell them they shouldn't take drugs (which was the WORST part of the Beatles! that and their smoking habits, because that killed George) :( otherwise, I love the Beatles :)
@50BurntIncenseSticks a.) no one should ever take anything that they shouldn't, and yes, they could've done worse, but not too much worse. b.) they did smoke cigarettes and that's what caused George's passing. c.) None of those things are safe. No drugs are safe. They're horrible things that people take even though they know it's bad for them. d.) most of they better stuff is from when they weren't high.
@moviemakerpeoples025 A) Tell that to the Cancer Patients that can actually be healed by marijuana -which has many medical benefits.
C)Yea they are look them up on a Non-Biased website or books based on true evidence, Acid, has changed the way of thought making very good music like in my life, All you need is love, Hello Goodbye
Just look out for Alcohol, cigarettes, meth, cocaine
what the psychadelics teach people is to stop hating,live for today, be more of a better person-But thats really bad
@moviemakerpeoples025 I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with that. From 'Rubber Soul" onwards, they were high, and that was their best period, musically, but drugs will ruin your life if you let them. I know.
@50BurntIncenseSticks weed and acid causes deep paranoia,fixed quickly in those surroundings BY HERION,or slowly,if ever by hard therapy.With millions lookin at you,which would you do?
@superman11978 He was unhappy with Yoko in the late 70's (don't believe the fairytale marriage media myth) and from what I hear from people close to Yoko she was was not happy It went both ways. I agree with you on the lost weekend time period. He was with May Pang and May wanted John to get close to Julian his son and Paul..Yoko was an isolationist.
@superman11978 also John was alone in this video, no Yoko attached to his side. John was dependent on Yoko in a lot of ways. He called her mother. I think near the end, the few years before he died he was very nostalgic and made peace with the Beatles thing.
Listen to his recorded diaries made in late 1979 on here they are called: John Lennon Diary Part 1 - 2
man john was just amazing, a great person and musician i can't fathom how much of an impact he and paul mccartney had on the world and rock and roll. Its a shame that he had to go, what a waste R.I.P. john and george
Rjkahlon, we know that The Beatles had a LOT of #1 solo singles. Vividwatch47 was saying that it was the only solo #1 that wasn't written by any of them...which - GUESS WHAT - isn't true!
Ringo also hit the Top 10 with a cover of The Platters "Only You" which was an adaptation of a French song, and also sang lead on Buck Owens' "Act Naturally" which was the "B"side of "Yes It Is", and he later rerecorded it as a duet with Owens in 1990.
I thought we were just talking about solo Beatle number one singles that weren't written by any of The Beatles. By the way, 'Act Naturally' was really the B-side to 'Yesterday', and 'Yes It Is' was actually the B-side to 'Ticket To Ride'.
You might be interested to know that Harrison was involved in a lawsuit from the publisher from "He's So Fine" claiming that he stole the melody from the song as the basis for his #1 hit "My Sweet Lord", though Harrison claimed that it was inspired by "Oh Happy Day". I don't if this qualifies as the first time a Beatle hit #1 with a song he didn't compose.
@vividwatch47 yeah it happens the Chili Peppers have copied a couple songs, like the beginning of Breadfan(Budgie) for the beginning of Around The World
Because all of the Beatles' solo #1s were composed by the members themselves (but then again, "Twist And Shout" was one of the few Beatles' hits not composed by Lennon & McCartney).
You're correct,Lennon was the last of the 4 Beatles to finally reach #1 on the US singles chart but it was actually with "Whatever Gets You Through the Night" in 1974

This is just as the record biz is becoming the megacorporate monster it would become by the time Lennon actually DID play the corporate game in October 1980 when Bob Geffen came over to the Record Plant and greeted Yoko before John thus sealing the deal in he wake of heavyweights like Ahmet Ertegun. Here... Lennon is just trying to avoid going to Vegas. Not yet a classic rock hero.. he's trying to keep his music out there and kind of drowning at it! But EMI isn't yet the bohemoth it became

Great when John had done with that bitterness period of 1971 & was feeling fun & warmth about Paul again
kenfig 2 years ago 8
For sure. I think they were all angry and disillusioned after the breakup, but around 74, Paul and John were seeing each other again. In fact, they were in CA with Stevie Wonder, and things were going so well, John proposed the four get back together for awhile. But when he mended things with Yoko, that got called off. Foiled by Ono, again...
scandalouzmegz 2 years ago 4
Anytime I see a video of John with his face looking full and looking healthy and happy and well fed, I know it's 1974, the year he was split from Yoko. He was a borderline anorexic when he was with her, I still can't figure that out.
superman11978 2 years ago 46
Yeah, I agree...John always looked better with alittle more weight like seen here and especially in the early Beatle days when he had a healthier looking fuller face...he looked his worst when he was with Yoko.
moorigs 2 years ago 7
I know that when they were together, Yoko put John on an incredibly healthy diet... But the kind of extreme diet, you know what I mean? So that propably accounted to him looking like a 'borderline anorexic' !
CaptainLila 2 years ago 5
they were also smoking a fair amount of heroin at the time, which wouldnt have helped their appetite and probably had more to do with looking gaun and unhealthy than a strict diet would have

Not at all clear what was happening in Lennon's life post 1974. We only know the version of it that Elliot Mintz, press spokesperson for Lennon and any clients including Phil Spector who according to Mintz was just fine until the day they clapped him off to jail, and Yoko and John just before his death told us. There are versions by Julian and Cynthia Lennon, Fred Seaman, May Pang which differ from the official story. John.. usually a chunky guy was bone thin around this time.

Did you read John Lennon: The Life? =/ He was drinking heavily & smoking & throwing temper tantrums when he was away from her for those 18 months. He called her everyday & told her he missed her. How about you actually pick up a damn book?

@moviemakerpeoples025 Why, So they can do things that are way more unhealthy like prescription medicine, alcohol, cigarettes,
Marijuana,Acid,psilocybin(mushrooms) Are very safe and has no recorded deaths
So they should have DONE those things.
thats kinda what inspired there music thats where most of the ideals of the music was from.
50BurntIncenseSticks 1 year ago
@50BurntIncenseSticks a.) no one should ever take anything that they shouldn't, and yes, they could've done worse, but not too much worse. b.) they did smoke cigarettes and that's what caused George's passing. c.) None of those things are safe. No drugs are safe. They're horrible things that people take even though they know it's bad for them. d.) most of they better stuff is from when they weren't high.
moviemakerpeoples025 1 year ago
@moviemakerpeoples025 A) Tell that to the Cancer Patients that can actually be healed by marijuana -which has many medical benefits.
C)Yea they are look them up on a Non-Biased website or books based on true evidence, Acid, has changed the way of thought making very good music like in my life, All you need is love, Hello Goodbye
Just look out for Alcohol, cigarettes, meth, cocaine
what the psychadelics teach people is to stop hating,live for today, be more of a better person-But thats really bad

@moviemakerpeoples025 I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with that. From 'Rubber Soul" onwards, they were high, and that was their best period, musically, but drugs will ruin your life if you let them. I know.

@superman11978 He was unhappy with Yoko in the late 70's (don't believe the fairytale marriage media myth) and from what I hear from people close to Yoko she was was not happy It went both ways. I agree with you on the lost weekend time period. He was with May Pang and May wanted John to get close to Julian his son and Paul..Yoko was an isolationist.
ilovefreedom80 1 year ago 4
@superman11978 also John was alone in this video, no Yoko attached to his side. John was dependent on Yoko in a lot of ways. He called her mother. I think near the end, the few years before he died he was very nostalgic and made peace with the Beatles thing.
Listen to his recorded diaries made in late 1979 on here they are called: John Lennon Diary Part 1 - 2

Ever hear of a little song called "You're Sixteen"? It was a number one hit for Ringo in 1973, written by brothers Robert and Richard Sherman.
reverendflash 2 years ago
Ringo also hit the Top 10 with a cover of The Platters "Only You" which was an adaptation of a French song, and also sang lead on Buck Owens' "Act Naturally" which was the "B"side of "Yes It Is", and he later rerecorded it as a duet with Owens in 1990.
vividwatch47 2 years ago
I thought we were just talking about solo Beatle number one singles that weren't written by any of The Beatles. By the way, 'Act Naturally' was really the B-side to 'Yesterday', and 'Yes It Is' was actually the B-side to 'Ticket To Ride'.
reverendflash 2 years ago
You might be interested to know that Harrison was involved in a lawsuit from the publisher from "He's So Fine" claiming that he stole the melody from the song as the basis for his #1 hit "My Sweet Lord", though Harrison claimed that it was inspired by "Oh Happy Day". I don't if this qualifies as the first time a Beatle hit #1 with a song he didn't compose.

@vividwatch47 There is a term for copying something while thinking it's an original idea, something to do with the subconscious
snoogans999 1 year ago
Why is that ironic?
YouBoob85 2 years ago
Because all of the Beatles' solo #1s were composed by the members themselves (but then again, "Twist And Shout" was one of the few Beatles' hits not composed by Lennon & McCartney).
vividwatch47 2 years ago
You're correct,Lennon was the last of the 4 Beatles to finally reach #1 on the US singles chart but it was actually with "Whatever Gets You Through the Night" in 1974
