[hoffnerrocks]

The most talented men that ever lived.

[freshd194]

ringo chills like a boss

[sheddski]

they changed to epiphone guitars

[LoveLyrics99]

Oh my god.. This is sexy.. Yes the Beatles are still young, alive and well in my mind.. Johnny Boy never got shot and Geo never got cancer.. They are alive making beautiful music still.. But.. I guess thats just me.. Peace, Love, Beatles

[xmadbruinx67]

@LoveLyrics99 well i guess you have a bad case of the downs, i mean you obviously finger yourself to this shit everyday and think that one day you will have 1 1000000th of what they had because you are a sorry piece of shit that needs just to fucking never come on Youtube again, but i guess that is just reality, SUCK MY DONG THEY CALL ME JOHNNY LONG SHLONG YOU DUMB LESBIAN GAYLORD

[LoveLyrics99]

@xmadbruinx67 Alright.. What did I do to offend you? I'm apologizing nowm because sometimes I don't think before I post.. But I really don't see in ANY WAY how I would have made you THIS upset. I'm not quite sure what this is about, but I just want to take this time to say: GROW UP. And really, you're the one who needs to not come here again. YOU obviously don't have respect for anything or anyone. I don't get it. I guess we can't all mind our own buisness...Get a life..

[EllerySan]

@xmadbruinx67 Seriously dude? This is just rude. If you don't like the music, and don't have ANYTHING good to say about it then shut the hell up, and don't listen to it. Go listen to the crap music today has to offer. Like seriously, there is no reason to comment and call someone in MY FAMILY names like that. I think it is YOU who needs to not come back on Youtube again. So how about we all GROW up, and stop calling eachother "Bad words" Like little chilren?..

[HorseLuver628]

I love this song. Ringo is so adorable, John is cute, Paul is adorable, and George is adorable too.

[Canyoutakemeback1]

lol

[LorenzoClemenza]

@aleksandra901 you dont need george's guitar , cauze you dont know how to play the guitar

[ASR10MAN]

Paul was the best song "writer"

[Canyoutakemeback1]

Haha-Poor Ringo

[chase123devine]

@Canyoutakemeback1 ikr :3

[PumpkinPuffer]

This was video taped 45 yrs ago when I was 4yrs old.

[lightowler1]

bow down and humble thyself before the greatest collection of talented Moptops that will ever pass in this world

[brandemonium5]

sigh, im 14 and one of my freiends said the beatles arent good. hes never heard any of their songs. im made him listen to EVERY album. now he likes them.

[Reznov65]

oh ringo.........

[FrakkinUsername]

ATTENTION all Beatles fans,On July 30th, we will be watching the music video hey jude repeatedly all day to boost it's view count up to at the least of 100,000,000 views. You don't even have to listen to it. You can just keep playing the video back to back all the way through without sound. We're doing this to compete with Justin Beibers garbage music videos & to make The Beatles be heard across Youtube. Copy& Paste this across all Beatles videos. Spread the word!

[Live0Laugh0Twilight]

I need a bass! or i will DIE!!

[IJustRateVids]

ATTENTION ALL BEATLES FANS: On July 30, we are going to have a Beatles day! We are going to be watching as many Beatles videos as possible to boost up the views! Is it fair that Justin Bieber's Baby video has over 500 million views and the Beatles don't?? NO! Please copy and paste to all Beatles videos and thumbs up so it will stay at the top. Spread the word!!!

[TennGuy546]

George, unlike John, wasn't really into product loyalty. He played a rosewood tele, a les paul (named Lucy), gretsch country gentleman, a strat (named Rocky), an SG, an epiphone, and a Jazzmaster at different stages in his career.

[TennGuy546]

@TennGuy546 and a Rickenbacker (of course), and a gretsch duo jet, and a gretsch Tennessean.

[VictorRechnageL]

@TennGuy546 John also played a Fender Bass VI.

[BeatlesMegaMusic]

@aleksandra901 btw i agree, the only song my friends have heard from them is yellow submarine!!

[BeatlesMegaMusic]

@aleksandra901 wow then ur friends r retarded, how can u not like the Beatles, u r a smart person!! just like everyone else who likes the Beatles

[bassharmonica1]

@aleksandra901 I know! same with me. yellow submarine isn't even their best song! I personally like day in the life and PAPERBACK WRITER!!

[Wilfred45]

@aleksandra901 GEORGE'S GUITAR is a 1965 Gibson sg cost you 3000 dollars or more

and PS Paul does leave his Honifer bass he also uses a Rickenbacker 4001 bass

and john's guitar is a Epiphone casino if you get one online like john's it will cost you 1000 dollars.

[TheDottybotty]

@Wilfred45 apparently john got guitars that were really basic- even strung wrong, is that true?

[rockman791]

I bet all of us hate that one person

[TheMasterofnothing13]

thats one sexy riff by george and pauls bass on this is also pretty dam good

[freddiemesquit1]

What a phenomenal drummer Ringo is. He keeps the steady beat that all singers want, yet sticks in the fancy stuff when necessary. I always liked his drumming. Seemed like it drove the whole band. Or course, the others are no slouches,

[MCwill1s]

THE SUNGLASSES!! @ 0:56



[Ryfr21]

i love this band so muuuuuch <3

[catman7771]

I KILLED THE ONE DISLIKE

[TheNightcrawler300]

at 0:36 i thought ringo was just sitting there. then i saw his arms moving a little and i'm like "OOOOOOOOOOH HE'S PLAYING!!!!!"

[Josh34Nathan]

This Does Not look like Paul McArtney...on minute 1:05 they show all close ups of the Beatles but not Paul...After Ringo's close up you notice the Editing job to cut straight to John...okay I will go back to real work now...Good Song Though!

[SoundsofRuneScape]

0:00 "APER"BACK WRITER

[missoyamy]

qu pedo con el diente de paull??? aun asi se ve deliciosoo!!!!!!!!!!!

[Crunnkjuice9777]

Best bass part ever!

[WooHoo507]

I like ow Ringo is just there in all the videos doing nothing.. He's my favorite Beatle :)

[AdriannBizzle]

These men INVENTED the mop-top. Justin Bieber ain't got nothing on The Beatles :)

[ForeverTheBeatles1]

@AdriannBizzle hell yeah:D

[JustinSage]

@AdriannBizzle Please, in the future, please don't put Justin Bieber in the same sentence as these geniuses.

[Ludacrisfan100]

@AdriannBizzle Bieber just is a teenager who has a crush on girls and girls have a crush on him, but the beatles are good at everything!!!

[lob287]

@AdriannBizzle Yea that may be true however hair styles are not a criteria by which you should judge a band . Who the hell even says mop top any more. Who are youEd Sullivan.? Their music is what counts.

[alezander666]

I LIVED IN THOSE TIMES,this was to me,THE FIRST ACID ROCK GUITAR,before it was just a instrument,then it became a sonic SLEDGEHAMMER,there also was the san francisco jefferson airplane and BLUE CHEER,which historians say was the first HEAVY METAL BAND,but also acid rock.it's so sad now,beatles practiced for yrs,in england,but in hamburg,they blew up the world,rock in hamburg was revolution,and literally dancehalls full of rioting crazed fans.AND IDIOTS SAID,"IT'S JUST ELECTRIC BLUES,bullshit

[LadyAnneRasmussen]

I love it how Paul John and George are pretending to play and sing en' Ringo's just chillin' :D

[TheNicholas0202]

Too awesome. No band comes close to being this good.

[JohnnysGurl4Ever95]

this just goes to show that the Beatles can take anything and turn it into one of the greatest songs- period <3

[s3sndyer3s]

zero dislikes the way it should be

[djingle777]

@s3sndyer3s OMFG WHO MADE IT ONE DISLIKE O_O

[JustinSage]

@djingle777 Let's find 'em and kick his ass!

[Missbasofia]

temazoooo! ♥

[upleftdown]

Love the sunglasses part. :]

They all have such pretty eyes.

[phpf13setlist]

Is this version accelerated? It seemed to me the original version didn't go that fast.

[TheNadster2]

possibly the most rollicking riff I've heard in a Beatles song

[GuitarExplicit]

@atticthoughts and THAT is why you should record a bass guitar part last out of drums, guitars, and vocals. Gives you the chance to make a more melodic bass line.

[atticthoughts]

Pauls bass lines are always good but the ones in Paperback Writer and Rain are freaking amazing.

[hamburger120]

I play that same sg

[MrJohndl]

@hamburger120 cool guitar - i have an epiphone casino. What's the sg like?

[MJRiley878]

i would lke 2 go back in time and be the 5th beatle

[Aphrodite23100]

@MJRiley878 hahahahahaha

[devdief614]

The dislike bar looks like Bieber's penis! NOTHING! xD

[MrMUGS94]

@devdief614 stop now.

[MrJohndl]

@devdief614 ha ha awesome.

[EarthlyDude501]

I play this on the drums...

[MegaRareGem]

Who can sit still to be beat of this song! FAB4 LIVE ON 4EVER!

[aSFaTN]

paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaperbaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­ck wriiiiteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeerrrrrrr

Im from greece :)

[MrMUGS94]

@aSFaTN your bankrupt.

[oakenm]

yeah hes an alryt drummer pete best is and always has been better than him tho

[BadNews88]

And don't ya just *dig* the percussion breaks sounding SO MUCH like a typewriter keyboard?

As far as the Fab-4 & their ideas are concerned, for all WE know it coulda been a REAL typewriter 'played' by Mal Evans or somethin' like that, yes?

Beatles 4-EVER!

[MorbidBliss22]

Ringo (to himself): Those bastards forgot me drums....AGAIN!!! Oh well. I'll just sit here and look cute. I'm hungry...maybe I'll steal John's sandwich when he isn't looking...Haha....revenge will be mine.

[Sceptileisawsome1]

why did they not let ringo in the song that frekin sucks.damn

[roxy9354115]

they are hottttttttttttttttttttttttttt

[nielsnielsniels1]

based on a novel from a man named lear XD

[ringostarrfanforeva]

i fricken ♥ RINGO!!!!!!!!

[artielon]

This song kinda grew on me. First I thought it was too simple and lacking substance - after all it it was the first Beatle song not to hit #1 right away. Now I love it!

[isaiah565]

ringo where art thou thy favorite beatle

[Aerosmith366]

haha RIngo

[DangoTeff]

good job ringo, this song goes right up on the fridge. but u cant be in the video, sorry ringo

[flsgflsg]

They're sooooo explicitly ignoring Ringo lol

[carlysmithson4eva]

Ah, poor Ringo. He's just sitting in the background doing nothing.

[MyFatCat125]

u haer the drums but Ringos not playing!?

[OutcastJake]

@aleksandra901

Your not the only one. My friends make fun of me 4 liking The Beatles too.

[lonleyzygote]

WHERE'S RINGO

[luvudarren1]

0:40 he was just sitting down

[martakanonno123]

why isnt ringo playing? =(

[marksixteen]

dude its funny, the beatles are legends, but Gaga, Kanye, and Spears are all really good at what they do. they all have made alot of cash and at one point in time set the standards for their genre, your comparing them to beatles, if you look at them for their own style, there fine, maybe not as artistic and expansive as the beatles but still good.

[brunokittykat]

mm...george is looking sexy XD

[oniallain1965]

Isn't a "paperback writer" a prostitute in Britain? Dan O'Niallain, Grafton, Mass.

[mikemoair]

they sing it one other time in the song

[mikemoair]

trivia ? what song are they singing in the backing vocals? at 101 the first time lol

[77KBK77]

@mikemoair it's like "Frère Jacques"

[mikemoair]

@77KBK77 yeah that little kids song, good job

[shaked0113]

ringo is so cute. i just love him.

[toxicpizza72]

Great quality,and in colour too :)..looks like the same video-spot-location as the B-side single "Rain",Awesome that one too..At this moment Beatles was really creating time-less music !

[beatlesfan831]

GEORGE IS PLAYING AN SG

[Yuripadees]

INORITE!!!

[OropherThranduil]

@beatlesfan831

well, in videos he does that more than once.

but if you want to see him play it LIVE watch the circus krone performance of day tripper.

he also used it at the 66 nme pollwinners concert, but there are only pics of it, since they wiped the tapes, both pictures and audio.

[beatlesfan831]

@OropherThranduil Wow, I never knew that. (No sarcasm Intended)

[SwingStu]

@beatlesfan831 I thought it was Robby Krieger when I first saw this video.

[Ludacrisfan100]

@beatlesfan831 no shit

[Wilfred45]

@beatlesfan831 so

[ViaSammy]

great song

[bubblelove05]

[toddsquad650]

[tyblomberg27]

[bubblelove05]

[hootavoota]

[texnet11]

[roadrunner29788]

[GCMPJLRMYLIFE]

woah....listen to those drums!

Ringo was SOO underated!!!

[pikagirl01]

@GCMPJLRMYLIFE oh we all love him!!!!!!

[MacheteMick]

@GCMPJLRMYLIFE Absolutely! And he looks like he's hardly trying at all in the video!

[Bo618]

listen to those drums ringo is the best i could just eat him up  nana toni

[Bo618]

AWESOME nana toni

[musicisfusion]

very cool...

[littlehynata]

ringo's just haggin' while every one else is playing its so cool

[YakEiram]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[tomloft2000]

not imagination-he chipped it in a motorbike accident just before this was filmed.listen to the bass lines,he was one of the best bassists in music.

[rterrell10]

I must agree totally. I was just thinking that, as I was earlier listening to I'm a Loser... another early (aren't they all now?) Beatles tune in which Paul just kicks butt on bass. And on I Should Have Known Better he plays one of my favorite bass riffs ever! Well, this one is right up there, too.

Sorry about this too long reply. I'm part of Beatlemania... saw them first time on Ed Sullivan. LOL!

[freklfacejpgr]

Is it my imagination or does Paul's front tooth look chipped in this video?

Great song!

[roadrunner29788]

his tooth has always been chipped

[freklfacejpgr]

I'm pretty sure it was from an accident...the accident that people say he "died" in.

[roadrunner29788]

ohhhh thats where they get that theory form haha stupid people

[freklfacejpgr]

I might be wrong about that now that I think about it...I can't remember if that's how the stupid PID rumors got started or not. :P

[Kinkas08]

No, he was in a moped accident. It has nothing to do with the Paul is Dead theory, or anything like that.

[roadrunner29788]

i know it has nothing to do with that theory i KNOW he is alive. i have always known that. plus... wats a moped accident wats a mope

[Kinkas08]

It's a motorized bicycle.

[roadrunner29788]

ohhh ok :)

[Tankalanki]

Yes Ringo made everything look cool and easy but if you listen to the drummer in this song you realize what a creative drummer he was - Pocket Boy!!!!!

[cyclonedrums]

this is why the beatles ruled and are the fuckin coolest ever...this is why!!!..right here!!!!!

[PrincessAroar]

ROFL!! I love that Ringo is just sitting on the ground in the beginning... I <3 George.

[luvs2sh0p46]

ive loved this song since preschool im not even kidding!

[sydneysue62]

@luvs2sh0p46 Me too! I grew up on the Beatles! I don't get why some people don't like them.

[halotree18]

[hootavoota]

i grew up on the beatles as well thats why i like them so much now.

[iceman590444]
