The Beatles - Helter Skelter

[MrPabloacabrera]

guauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[imbored811]

pretty good but ringo said i got blister on my fingers not john XD

[KraadBR]

wtf is this?

[GtzBigTingz]

@KraadBR Music.

[ZeBrawler123]

Music today is so bad it's depressing, but at least there's 60s to 90's (and what was good of 00s)

[josiahivan]

@Pedr6500 thats exactly what i aaid but the bastard is deluded. he also thinks beiber is as famous as the beatles back in the 60s.

[esmonkeys]

get back beatles

[JonBenait06]

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.

[JonBenait06]

just enough evil to placate the followers but not too much to scare away the suseceptible



[mahavishnuxc]

Say what you will about Charles Manson by calling him insane or mentally ill, but at least he could recognize good music when he heard it.

[neilsil]

This is the best song about a playground slide ever written.

[TheRottenCheese]

I could listen to the first 20 seconds over and over again.

[akaMouse]

@TheRottenCheese its intense

[a7XBigEA7x]

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.

[haterskeephatin101]

so that's where the white stipes got their sound.

[kayramm98]

This song makes me burn



[elyjugsbomb099]

@iamnotanumberiamaman Hahaha.... Funny...

[motorhead19651]

Love the song, BUT I hate it when the song dosnt match the vid !!!!!!!!

[iamnotanumberiamaman]

yes.. it's very clear from the lyrics that this song is about an apocalyptic race war...

[Wolfwhite17]

:reallife: :O ahora sos mi idolo beatles

this video is fake is a montage of studies let it be

"I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS"

[mario201252]

Hello, the best rock song of the 60's, yes, I say rock and roll, paul Mc Cartney invented

hard rock music for pop diffusion! 1968...

[MrDiscoTiggs]

Wow

[naornaor3]

wah looks like it was filmed last week!

[DimebagD4rrelAbbot]

The Beatles thrash metal. \m/

[Organmeat69]

hey paul, umadbro?

[Junewe]

Is it only me or is this kinda grungy? Sounds a bit like Soundgarden to me!

[jjjunglejim]

The Beatles certainly opened some doors for Zeppelin. Just as Elvis paved the way for the Beatles, years earlier.

[superslycooper78]

221st dislke was Charlie Manson.

[oneofanceantproficy]

I GOT BLISTAHS ON MAH FINGAHS

[leopomweb]

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.

[AndrewGeorgeB]

@leopomweb Nope, my good friend. This song could be, -unofficially- mind you, be considered as perhaps the first Metal song. Heavy Metal.

[fede87mi]

[eleutheromaniac]

I always think of Eternal Return.

[mylunito]

tlolololo the voice of paul is so intence and coll thumbs up

[josiahivan]

a stupid fucker literally sent this msg

" 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

some people makes me so sad

[Pedr6500]

@josiahivan bieber is the mst hated artist in the very history of music, what moron doesnt know that

[887BEATLES]

la primera cancion de rock pesado

[jgg87]

Widely regarded as the first Hard Rock/Heavy Metal song.

You're welcome, Led Zeppelin.

[mrshneakyshneaky]

@jgg87 well jimmy page was already plagerizing music in 1968 when this was released in the white album

[josiahivan]

@mrshneakyshneaky

jimmy page loved the beatles

[TheChubbins]

@jgg87 led zeppelin isnt had rock or heavy metal they are a mix of classic rock and the blues get ur facts straight

[stratocasterbeast]

@jgg87 black sabbath?

[braulioponcexd144]

@jgg87 Well actually this song was recorded in November 1968 and Led Zeppelin was formed around September-October 1968.

So there´s no reason for LZ to thank The Beatles

Your argument is invalid

[calmbatman1]

@braulioponcexd144 The song started recordings in July.

Your argument is invalid.

[calmbatman1]

@braulioponcexd144 And since you can't even pinpoint the month Zep was founded your argument is twice invalid.

[Venon1387]

@jgg87 u mean ur welcome pinkfloyd

[abyanks23]

@jgg87

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

[megasam10000]

@jgg87 That's a bit exaggerated isn't it? To say a band was based on a single song.

[hightider87]

Damn that bass is so sick!

[downloaderJESSICA]

THIS IS NOT FIRST HEAVY METAL SONG.

[pululuuu]

@downloaderJESSICA YOU ARE WRONG. CHECK OUT THE YEARS. THIS SONG IS THE MOTHER OF METAL. PUNTO.

[ThatDisembodiedVoice]

@pululuuu >The song barley resembles Metal

>Blue Cheer released there album Vincebus Eruptum a year before the White Album

[josiahivan]

@downloaderJESSICA

Proto-metal.

[funcooldrew2]

@downloaderJESSICA what is i think led zeppelin invited metal or sabbath

[SCOPOtuaMADRE]

Lennon on Fender VI bass. Legendary.

[kazekafun]

i love beatles

[jodidoiluminado]

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.

[Paolo13278]

First Heavy metal song, Great McCartney

[AirWaterLandBuffalo]

OH YA MAY BE A LOVER BUT YOU AIN'T NO.. DAAAAANCEER

[TheBlueDragonGamer]

please heaven...if we get john lennon back...we will give you justin bieber and lady gaga

[AirWaterLandBuffalo]

@Pedr6500 Somebody needs a new sarcasm detector.

[surfergirllexi]

My grandpa took that motherfucker Charles Manson down. Wish he would of shot him instead.

[jonjontete]

Ringo should play this song without the towel on the snare, so the drums could sound more powerful

[wolverine974801]

Beatles were great, but Zeppelin was greater.

[iliabashel]

@wolverine974801 100%

but not only zep :D pink floyd? deep purple?

[greenaissance1]

Protometal ROCKS

[josiahivan]

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

[dudette0911]

@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.

[MrLyricsfreak100]

@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...

[dbeatlefreak]

@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'.

[sacramentolove]

@dudette0911 Lol, you misspelled "due" :)

[MiracleSoulFlyer]

@josiahivan The only thing I think of when you say MJ is Mick Jagger.

[ThatDisembodiedVoice]

@josiahivan >Implying The Beatles ever did anything before anybody else

[geggs13]

heavy

[greenaissance1]

Hard to believe this is the same band that just a few years before was singing "love love me do".

[josiahivan]

@greenaissance1

innovating

[dmeiff]

This must of been the most hardcore song at the time this came out.

[MrKuntflap]

@dmeiff Not so. The Tinkles did 'Residue On The Upper Lip' the same year. It was heavier yet less successful.

[Swede6411]

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.

[yetimichael]

@Swede6411 Thats fucked

[planetofthescums]

@Swede6411 Yep, that pretty much sums up childhood.

[jddmr22181]

[DelWhite]

Two words: waaa ow!

[cinnamonpistachios]

BEST SONG EVER!!!

[MrticTac921]

If Ringo only played the drums louder, this would've been Zeppelin song.

[Jw071]

@MrticTac921 He is no John Bonham, sir!

[MrticTac921]

@Jw071 I said, if only lol

[wuzzywierdo]

i might be really dumb.. but can someone explain me what charles manson has to do with this song?

[mcfeelyat]

@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]

@mcfeelyat thx! i wanted to know that for a long timexD (yah..this didn't come up in me earlyer--'xD)

[Linds3y182]

@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.

[B3ATL3MaNO]

FUCK U!!! THE BEATLES RULES!!!!!!

[rabinalga]

@B3ATL3MaNO nope, they don´t.

[rabinalga]

THIS ISN'T METAL, THIS IS SHIT.

[squishydafishy]

@rabinalga spoken like a true 10yr old twat

[2JOHNNYT]

INSTANT KARMA didn’t KILL JOHN – the CIA did > watch?v=8qup9bqf2Ik (thumb this truth 2 the top 4 John)

[rodger9erout]

Kind of hard to believe that charles manson got his crazy conspiracys from this song....

[antibiebermovement03]

THE BEATLES INVENTED METAL, BITCH!

[thecrossfirecasualty]

@antibiebermovement03 I always thought that. "She's so heavy" was the first Metal riff without even meaning to be.

[StarTrekker711]

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.

[ginger8994]

IVE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!hahahaha

[Ange4498]

Para los que decian que Los Beatles eran "fresas".

[EternalAngel318]

"Well you maybe a lover, but you aint no dancer"!!! <3 Love this song!

I got blisters on my fingers!

[AwesomeCoosa]

I want to start a revolution now

[BeorhtFrognostic]

first time I have heard this track, initially I didn't believe it was them, pretty cool

[l03harley]

just look at the bands who covered it?? its killer

[legomario114]

I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

[PIEROMC97]

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[luisesDOM]

fuck u charles manson

[planetofthescums]

@luisesDOM fuck mark chapman

[BeatlemaniacRenzo]

@luisesDOM At least manson have good taste at music :P

[douchecock427]

@luisesDOM agreed.

[chainasauras]

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!

[josiahivan]

@chainasauras

yep but then ozzy heard this song...

[egogo816]

This song is as far away from what Manson thought it would be...He is an idiot and a lunatic....Beatles artists and visionaries...:)

[StaightObserver]

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]

@StaightObserver The Doors: 5 to 1

[jddmr22181]

@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.

[beatleanatrg]

I can not believe such a legend, the beatles havy metal Creators of the first in history not for nothing are the best in the world

[LtDrg35]

such an insane base line!!!!!!!!!

[pcandland]

ONE M0:00RE TIME!!!

[chgojack1]

Ok guys. What song did they write this in response too? You know all of those bands were super competitive than.

[deja2057]

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.

[calfsonic]

Helter Skelter, the first heavy metal song.♫♫

[DelWhite]

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?

[jeropage95]

@DelWhite Check out Led Zeppelin.. Ever heard of it?

[DelWhite]

@jeropage95 No, where does she live?

[MrCeej9999]

@jeropage95

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]

@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.

[DelWhite]

@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.

[hyder81]

@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".

[Jw071]

@hyder81 What's a "fenomena?"

[hyder81]

@Jw071 Sorry: "PHenomena".

[patate87548]

Charles Manson brought me here. :p

[believer2005]

I love how Paul is clearly rawkin his ass off!!! Yep, this is one of the first "psychedelic" songs before there was Led Zep!!!

[willh735]

Wow this song just goes to show what LSD does from "I wanna hold your hand" to "helter skelter" !

[andydufresne87]

@willh735 Does great things in terms of music in their case, but only in music i guess....

[TheDanijoker]

Manson's rules!

[chaniejbernard]

Love how The Beatles tried to out-do The Who with this one. I mean who would dare try and out-do The Who in a loudness contest? Why, The Beatles of course!

[Nirvanamymusic]

216 metalheads don't want to believe this is the first song of heavy metal

[vitorsilighini]

The first Heavy Metal in the History!

[lennonalegria]

@vitorsilighini y una de las mejores

[TheDarkHalf696]

@vitorsilighini, actually it is generally accepted that Black Sabbath is the first to generate the dark, reeving sound of heavy metal. "Helter Skelter" is a part of The Beatles' white album (ya dumbass), which was their shot at HARD ROCK - not heavy metal.

Try reading a fucking book sometime, ya senseless douche. Ya stupid metal poser.

[vitorsilighini]

@TheDarkHalf696 Ozzy Osbourne said he heard this song on the radio the first time and felt so heavy ...

What are you to disagree with Ozzy?

[TheDarkHalf696]

@vitorsilighini Ozzy who? OH!!.... That one old guy on T.V. who runs around his house acting like a utter moron? Yeah, real god...

In truth, I blame the essence of Reality T.V., but, still, Ozzy let it happen.

Props to Sabbath; no props to degeneration...

[MrCeej9999]

@TheDarkHalf696

You're completely wrong. Ozzie Osborne said in his book, he heard this song in 1968 and based his entire sound (from 1970 onwards ) on it.

Lots of bands developed the heavy metal sound, and went there own way with it, but there’s no doubting this is the first Heavy Metal song (by years).

Lots of bands copied it – Led Zepplin being another

[crieiessacontaagora]

@TheDarkHalf696 Well, that was shit trolling. Good try tho.

[TheDarkHalf696]

@crieiessacontaagora: You fingerbang your own asshole at night, don't you?

[crieiessacontaagora]

@TheDarkHalf696 That was a better attempt, compared to your first one. But you still need to improve the art of insulting someone. I suggest you to read a book about that.

[TheDarkHalf696]

@crieiessacontaagora I find it probable that a refined person of your standing wouldn't be capable to appercieve a proper derision if it were to malisciously pound your unconversant, provincial fanny.

Take that, you cur.

[crieiessacontaagora]

@TheDarkHalf696 That was brilliant, sir. I just melted.

[steviea427]

@TheDarkHalf696 That is the nicest insult I have ever heard. Kudos.

[steviea427]

@TheDarkHalf696 That has just GOT to hurt! "I've Got Blisters On My Rectum!"

[MrCeej9999]

@vitorsilighini

Unbelievable that it was released in 1967!

[Reatbuster]

@vitorsilighini no, this is black metal actually

[DrTrevelyan]

@Reatbuster No, Black Metal wasn't invented until Venom coined the term. This is just plain Hard Rock.

[Reatbuster]

@DrTrevelyan I thought it was either technical death metal or grindcore

[NobodyYouWannaKnow19]

@vitorsilighini SteppenWolf-Born To Be Wild Is the actuall first heavy metal song

[billy12715]

@vitorsilighini well my good sir this is a neat little did bit of info... you probably know of the band "The Who" when they came out with the song "I can see for miles" a review in a newspaper said that it was the heaviest song he ever heard paul reed this and took it as a challenge and created this song :) just thought it was a neat little bit of info from one music junckie to the next

[TheDarkHalf696]

@billy12715 Oh yeah? I know a coke junkie who spews a lot of shit too. Just cause you say it, don't make it viable.

"Metal" was a progression from bands like Cream, Deep Purple, Sabbath, Blue Cheer...

The Who ARE NOT part of the metal family. This is a funny story, but has nothing to do with the creation of heavy metal.

[billy12715]

@TheDarkHalf696 I'm not saying The Who are part of the metal family they are far from metal their rock thats my i listen to it. All i was saying is if it was not for a review about a song from The Who this song would not have been created

P.S Why the fuck do you have a coke head friend

[TheDarkHalf696]

@billy12715 Your reasoning holds an implicational sway- that the creation of "Helter Skelter" would've been postponed indefinately, or not even fathomed.

Oh, and as to your curiosity; my "coke head friend" is a niggah named Charles.

He used to hold position as an engineer, cooperating with other individuals via independent research projects at the National Space Biomedical Research Institution (I think that's what it was called).

He was gonna build space stations on the moon!

[vmanandy]

music....the great infulencor, if you dont believe me, just look at my generation.....we're all falling

[TheDarkHalf696]

@vmanandy It's spelled "farting"...

Duh....

[vmanandy]

the fact of the matter is, and i really dont care what u all think, is that this is the creation of hatred, it opened the door for all to learn how to manifest it in music, and whether you think so or not it all roots to good and evil. though from what it is today this is a baby, but it is still a key to unlock a door. and it did.....

[vmanandy]

why would ringo have blisters? hes a drummer. the world is mindless i pitty you all

[vmanandy]

what paul is saying actually comes directly from johns vibe, see how paul says WOAH! the bass is the MOST powerful instrument for emotional expression next to the piano. think about what ive said

[vmanandy]

the blisters is from john playing that bass, go on slide for that amount of time on a 5 stiring, see if your fingers arnt cut up and blistered, now the interesting thing about the beatles and why they did so well is they knew how to "talk" to eachother, whatever john is saying through that bass, is why the rest of them are so nervous and dont look like theyre enjoying such powerful and great music.

[crieiessacontaagora]

@vmanandy lol so many messages from you

[vmanandy]

@crieiessacontaagora was drunk and ina rantable mood haha
