and as far as the heavy metal thing goes with this song, other musicians had used distortion un thier music but not for chunkin, 1967 paul mccartney wanted to outdo the who, who had used distortion to record a album, but the music was not heavy metal not even close bud. You can hear the actual chunk paul came up with, that chunk, it the first chunkin anyone did with distortion in that style, this is by no doubt the first heavy metal song, all song beforre this are rock, country or blues, jazz.
as a matter of fact these jhinn can control your body cause they are electrical. they can get in between your atoms and manipulate them. now when you look into someones eyes and you see that empty minded stare and you think to yourself something is not right about that guy, you are 100 percent correct, it is said that when your possesed you can speak many toungues and one of them is backwards, many rockstars are possesed, and can be heard. hense "you may be a lover but your sure no dancer."
a litte extra one here, these gods come and go as they please. even the roswell report about the aliens describe a humanlike being not a humaniod being. the aliens at roswell looked just like us.fact. these gods come and go. they even have created other beings here that most people dont understand. man was created from mud, women wasnt created until after the boys puberty, the shayateens were created from fire, and the jhinn were created from smokeless fire,
My comment refers to what manson thought about the lyrics not about what they were written about, but thanks for enlightning the world about it. to manson this meant that gods were comin down again and again, this is what he thought thier will to be. David at waco had the same thoughts, all believing alien gods come and go as they please and pretty much stating that "hey man im a believer" with murderin, cause isnt that was the incan and mayan gods did. kill thier poeple or both control/faith
Thing that makes the Beatles better than all the other bands is just that as they made songs of all genres,from pop to heavy metal!!! BEATLES LIVE FOREVER!!!
hey iamnotanunberiamaman, yes manson was a lunatic, and he had some crazy ideas go through his head while he was high. but did you know that he believed that the gods where talkin to him through this song telling him what to do, the song itself describes a ride on a spaceship, up and down, so dont let me remind you of forbidden gibar, and the creation of man, the man in the spaceship has all this power, to give or take life, to breed with or to ignore man.. thats HELTER SKELTER. watch out
OK, Ok..... just a little reminder that the beatles accually slit thier speakers to give them that distorted sound, which means that they were litterally going after a new sound, without electronic modification, which makes this song the very begginning of heavy metal, beacuse after of course, distortion became available. all other songs are more closely related to rock, but this one if the first - slit speaker. hey dont always believe what you read, you should look it up, and youll agree.
@ShrimpNairf The Beatles were not the first group or musician to slit speakers to get a distorted sound. The Who, The Kinks and Chuck Berry all used distortion before the Beatles. I admit that the Beatles did push for new sounds though. In my opinion, Tomorrow Never Knows was the most original thing they did and Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite always blows my mind.
Lemme seal this argument. The first metal song ever performed, without the aid of electronic amplification, was Ride Of The Valkyries by one Richard Wagner. This begat In The Hall Of The Mountain King by Edvard Grieg, which, in turn, begat the KInks. Here I agree with kneelandpray, below. Afterwards, the genre of metal was truly envisioned by Blue Cheer and Zeppelin, but cast in iron by Black Sabbath and Tony Iommi's clipped fingers. Hard Rock travelled the highway of AC/DC, and Maiden rule all.
I only have one comment about Bieber fans, before him there was a whole lot of pop idols that just faded away due to their lack of "whatever it is" that make great musicians immortal..
.... in 52 years we'll talk again to check if his songs are still playing around like Beatles'
Me and my friend alex were smoking, and I told him that Charles Manson thought that this song was telling him to murder people. So of course alex thought that he was going to kill people, and he started crying, saying he didnt want to go to jail. pot is fun lol
now if seance means gathering of the muses, then at 12 o'clock a meeting 'round the table - (ostensibly) for a seance - in the dark means they at least once held a musical recording session in complete darkness. I must have this tape.
Coming from Robert Flynn of Machine Head, 'while there's many covers of this song. Nothing captures the feeling of the original.' Never heard a more true statement.
This song cant be considered a hard rock song or heavy metal. If Paul didnt sing this song with drive vocal, it would be a normal song. Imagine how the song would be this way.
Thats why, Led Zeppelin is the band i considered the creators of Hard Rock, and Beatles, Rock N Roll.
" justin is still more loved than hated, I'm sure Beatles had haters tho. Well okay Beatlefans were stupid ass fuck, and still Beliebers get more hate, what the actual fuck? "-HighDrama13
@axekiller58 but everyone loves the beatles justin bieber is a fag anyway...talent ya right..he can't even spell talent..justin bieber will end up on celebrity rehab in the next 5 years ha ha ...
as much as an effect as The Beatles probably had on Led Zeppelin along with all rock bands of the 60/70's/beyond. Zep was recording their first album (songs like Communication Breakdown and Good Times Bad Times) In October of 68' only a month after Helter Skelter was recorded and about a year before it was released. So this song most likely didn't have to much an effect on Zeps sound
@jgg87 Really, by who... I mean other than you. You are completly misinformed. The Yard Birds, The Who, The Zombies, The Animals, The Doors and many others were doing harder rock than the Beatles who were considered to be more of a Pop group. This may have been their first attempt at a harder sound however certainly not to be confused with your inaccurate statement. Cheers.
@gm9media Sure, the Beatles were mainly pop at the outset, as were the Zombies throughout their recording, and The Who as of '67-8. The Doors first release of '67 featured Break On Through; NOT as heavy as Helter Skelter. As for the Animals; Burden and Co. were a distorted, bluesy joke among musicians. Yardbirds? Really? This song established some studio and performance standards to follow. Blue Cheer invented heavy rock later. The cat you derided so harshly is not alone in attributing primacy
@gm9media Pete Townshend said in 1967 that he created the heaviest song at those time, and Paul McCartney accepted the chalenge and then The Beatles recorded back then the loudest, the heaviest and the coolest song ever! Can't you understand? The Beatles influented almost every genre of music! The Animals, The Who The Doors and other great bands you've mentioned had never been so influental as Beatles were! And this tune was the hardest back in those days.
They are Aleister Crowley friends, a product of the Tavistock Institute. CIA employees. They are under MK ULTRA = Mind Kontrol Ultra all their lifes. Lennon was the only who wake up and that´s the reason the CIA kill him using a MK ULTRA person. Instead of this the beatles music it´s different and one of the best in history.
u know what really pisses me off? when today's generation thinks mj is more influential and better than the beatles. i mean hes good, excellent performer but wasnt a musical genius. didnt really invent anything other than his dance moves. he maybe the king of pop but the members of the beatles are the kings of music
@josiahivan with all do respect, i disagree. not just because i'm an mj fan lol i'm just as big of a beatles fan. mj's music brought the world together in a way that no artist had ever succeeded to do. he helped revolutionize music in the 80's with songs like human nature and the way you make me feel. don't get me wrong, i love the beatles, ADORE them, but you can't say that mj's any less influential then them. they're pretty much both written down in the history books, side my side.
@dudette0911 I also agree. I listen to MJ, and he's got some really good music, although I'm a big Beatles fan. Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson even did one song together once, "Say Say Say". In case you don't know it, you might wanna look it up. It's a pretty cool song. I think it was written in 1983...
@MrLyricsfreak100 Actually, McCartney and Jackson recorded three songs together. The first, now nearly forgotten single from Thriller, 'The Girl Is Mine'. Two more songs appeared on McCartney's Pipes Of Peace' LP from 1983, 'Say Say Say' and 'The Man'.
Thanks to Charles Manson when i said i liked this song in school i got a detention and i almost had to stay after for guidence because they thought i had psycolological issues.
@wuzzywierdo In a nutshell, Manson believed the song's lyrics had hidden meanings that foretold a racial holy war. He specifically used its name as a signal for his "Family" to incite violence. The Family committed the Tate/LaBianca murders at his command of "Now is the time for Helter Skelter," and the killers even wrote the song's name in blood on a wall at the crime scene.
@wuzzywierdo Healter Skelter was written on the fridge in blood at the 3rd Manson murder. Also the Manson clan were "hippies" who were influenced by Beatles Music apparently.
Did this recording pre-date "She's So Heavy" on the Abbey Road album? Wasn't there some mix-up with release dates? Anyway, if you want more Metal Beatles, try that one. If you can stomach the cartoonish songs, the set at "The End" is worth waiting for.
Who gives a fark whether if it was the first 'heavy metal' track (which it very obviously wasnt =P). The Beatles never were and never will be a heavy metal band but helter skelter is easily one of the most raw, sonic and heavy songs ever to be recorded. Trying to place it in such a broad genre like 'heavy metal' understates the value of this track. So often i wish people would stop trying to divide and label and just accept that sometimes music transcends beyond genre. BEST BEATLES SONG EVER!
The people that say this is not Heavy Metal need to know that this song is The Beatles attempt at "Heavy Metal." This song is an important link in the chain of late 60's proto-metal.
The people that say this is the first Heavy Metal song and that The Beatles invented Heavy Metal need to know that there are a dozen bands that were this heavy or heavier in the mid to late 60's including Deep Purple, Blue Cheer, Nazareth, Jethro Tull, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks, Steppenwolf and more.
@StaightObserver I'm a HUGE Beatles fan....but agree with everything you said. I fail to understand why people keep saying this is the first heavy metal song. My guess is they were not born yet and have no idea what they're talking about. Nonetheless, it is a GREAT song...a true departure from what was expected of them. And maybe that's the reason. The Beatles produced a lot "firsts" but heavy metal cannot be counted as one of them.
this is not heavy metal. it is simply hard rock in savage genre. heavy metal doesn't have the class of this expermental 'freak out.' besides the genius quality the beatles productions were the most eclectic of a century at least. there is other great music but for one group they are
without parallel. they provided the raw material and symphonic conductor george martin a studio mixing genius as musical director upgraded each song into a polished gem-after evolution through dozens of sessions.
How many other really heavy hardcore metal songs -- like this -- are actually are sung by a singer with incredible vocal talent -- like Paul? My guess is zero?
@DelWhite The Black keys, Led zeppelin, Bob Dylan ( kinda), Junior Kimbrough, robert Pete Williams, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, BB king, John Lennon, Guns n roses, CCR, and the ramones... I could go on forever but then I would sound like a douche, actually I already am... Sorry.
@jezzejam My point is, other than Led Zeppelin, there is no group that has produced really hard rock music -- like Helter Skelter -- that was sung by a vocalist with a really good voice, a la Paul McCartney. Obviously this is a "matter of personal taste" discussion. To me, Helter Skelter is one of a very, very, very few number of truly hard-rock songs sung by a superlative singer. Love Hendrix, Dylan, GNR, etc. but they're not fitting this criteria. Led Zep certainly does.
@DelWhite Rolling Stones. As a matter of fact: this song came out right after the Stones fenomena, just to show "We could have done it, if we wanted to".

@MrLyricsfreak100 Actually, McCartney and Jackson recorded three songs together. The first, now nearly forgotten single from Thriller, 'The Girl Is Mine'. Two more songs appeared on McCartney's Pipes Of Peace' LP from 1983, 'Say Say Say' and 'The Man'.

wuzzywierdo 2 weeks ago
@wuzzywierdo In a nutshell, Manson believed the song's lyrics had hidden meanings that foretold a racial holy war. He specifically used its name as a signal for his "Family" to incite violence. The Family committed the Tate/LaBianca murders at his command of "Now is the time for Helter Skelter," and the killers even wrote the song's name in blood on a wall at the crime scene.

@wuzzywierdo Healter Skelter was written on the fridge in blood at the 3rd Manson murder. Also the Manson clan were "hippies" who were influenced by Beatles Music apparently.

Did this recording pre-date "She's So Heavy" on the Abbey Road album? Wasn't there some mix-up with release dates? Anyway, if you want more Metal Beatles, try that one. If you can stomach the cartoonish songs, the set at "The End" is worth waiting for.

Who gives a fark whether if it was the first 'heavy metal' track (which it very obviously wasnt =P). The Beatles never were and never will be a heavy metal band but helter skelter is easily one of the most raw, sonic and heavy songs ever to be recorded. Trying to place it in such a broad genre like 'heavy metal' understates the value of this track. So often i wish people would stop trying to divide and label and just accept that sometimes music transcends beyond genre. BEST BEATLES SONG EVER!

The people that say this is not Heavy Metal need to know that this song is The Beatles attempt at "Heavy Metal." This song is an important link in the chain of late 60's proto-metal.
The people that say this is the first Heavy Metal song and that The Beatles invented Heavy Metal need to know that there are a dozen bands that were this heavy or heavier in the mid to late 60's including Deep Purple, Blue Cheer, Nazareth, Jethro Tull, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks, Steppenwolf and more.

@StaightObserver I'm a HUGE Beatles fan....but agree with everything you said. I fail to understand why people keep saying this is the first heavy metal song. My guess is they were not born yet and have no idea what they're talking about. Nonetheless, it is a GREAT song...a true departure from what was expected of them. And maybe that's the reason. The Beatles produced a lot "firsts" but heavy metal cannot be counted as one of them.

this is not heavy metal. it is simply hard rock in savage genre. heavy metal doesn't have the class of this expermental 'freak out.' besides the genius quality the beatles productions were the most eclectic of a century at least. there is other great music but for one group they are
without parallel. they provided the raw material and symphonic conductor george martin a studio mixing genius as musical director upgraded each song into a polished gem-after evolution through dozens of sessions.

This was recorded in 1966! 3 years before Zeppln formed, and about 6 before they released any hard rock!
Seriously, this was the first hard rock/metal song by a distance. 1966-1968 was the age of "psychedelia"

@jezzejam My point is, other than Led Zeppelin, there is no group that has produced really hard rock music -- like Helter Skelter -- that was sung by a vocalist with a really good voice, a la Paul McCartney. Obviously this is a "matter of personal taste" discussion. To me, Helter Skelter is one of a very, very, very few number of truly hard-rock songs sung by a superlative singer. Love Hendrix, Dylan, GNR, etc. but they're not fitting this criteria. Led Zep certainly does.

@DelWhite Rolling Stones. As a matter of fact: this song came out right after the Stones fenomena, just to show "We could have done it, if we wanted to".
