  • Some of the comments here are ridiculous what matters is that the Beatles as a group made magic together, a classic example of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts

  • @fincaman2

    SHUTUP BITCH, I SLAM YO FACE UIN THE GROUN FO

  • @gdoddmeta3608 hehe, I slam. Mu Slim

  • @gdoddmeta3608 BITCH SHUT YO FACE!!!

  • @XenoType008 And McCartney never came close to George, Taxman was a horrible solo and Good Morning was a joke. Lennon was nowhere close either. Lennon actually had George play lead guitar on the Imagine album

  • @XenoType008 Did you really say that George Harrison "could barely play the guitar"? If so than that shows what an ignorant person you are. The man wrote more famous riffs and leads than anyone else in the music business and if you think his voice was annoying then thats your opinion. Mine is that George's voice was always good except on his dark horse album where John Lennons voice sucked after Imagine was released....

  • @BL80488 - George struggled with music. His voice

    and even his guitar work was pedestrian. Thank god

    for him this group wasn't about the guitar nor did they

    really need his voice (except for harmony).

  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud Haha, thats a funny joke. Your aware that here comes the sun is THE MOST DOWNLOADED BEATLES SONG ON ITUNES right? Pedestrian guitar work??? I don't think so, he outplayed Clapton several times in concert and was an amazing slide guitarist. He was a huge contributor to the Beatles sound, was a great singer and songwriter and unless you've produced more impressive work which I'm sure you haven't then you have no right to judge.

  • "Floating down the stream of time, of life to life with me makes no difference where you are or where you'd like to be"

    OR

    "Sunset doesn't last all evening, a mind can blow those clouds away after all this, my love is up and must be leaving it's not always going to be this grey"

    OR

    Try to realize it's all within yourself No-one else can make you change And to see you're really only very small,And life flows ON within you and without you.

  • @BL80488 - Well, you must hear inspiration and

    poetry I suppose. These lines, these words you've

    posted here...honestly, seem rather trite. "Floating

    down the stream of time" doesn't have the ring of

    something scribbled down by a high school kid?

    Seriously, these words are almost embarrassing

    considering a Beatle wrote them. You know, great

    lyrics have a timelessness about them. As if they've always been. As if they fell from heaven. These

    words seem self conscious. Contrived.

  • So I guess after 1966 "Mr. Money means nothing"...did it for the money.

  • George's disinterest & reduced role are 2 of the reasons why I don't like Sgt. Pepper as much as say Revolver or Abbey Road (far more "group" projects). George, Paul & John are to blame for this for varying reasons (some discussed by GH here). Harrison only had one song on the final LP (though he gave them Only A Northern Song, which they fully recorded, then rejected). Compare that to Revolver with 3 GH songs & his guitars prominent throughout. Revolver - better songs, & a more unified sound.

  • If he didn´t like it why didn´t he quit and make Indian music?

  • @anonymusum

    Maybe he wasn't as committed to Indian spirituality quite like he came to be later on. But HE is the one responsible for the kriya yoga gurus featured on the Sgt. Pepper album cover. I am inclined to think it was John Lennon who inserted Aleister Crowley next to Sri Yukteswar. But here and there we see Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, and Paramahansa Yogananda.

    George wanted Jesus Christ on the cover but that was nixed because of backlash over Lennon's comment re: Jesus.

  • @ndrussiangerman1

    Thanks - that is interesting. But it has nothing to do with the general musical direction of Sgt. Pepper. Ok - he brought in that Indian style but he already did that on Revolver.

    In his last years he regretted practicing the Sitar so intensively while forgetting his electric guitar. He said: that´s why I couldn´t follow the improvements in guitar playing, I had a lousy sound and I tried to compensate that with the bottleneck.

  • @XenoType008 You're 45 years old calling someone on youtube a Moron...I'm not gonna even Bother arguing My Valid Paints

  • @romans52345 DONT BOTHER YA JUST MADE YASELF LOOK LIKE A TWAT WITH YOUR PAINTS wtf you ignorant loser

  • @TheAussieraver I got 1 Letter Wrong please forgive me

  • @XenoType008 Lennon was so Jealous of George because he was a far better guitar player and george won the heart of patti boyd which Lennon could never do...

  • Sgt. Pepper is the most "dated" of all the Beatles LPs, as it really is a product of it's time; it is not timeless in say, the way "Abbey Road" is which sounds just as fresh today as when it was released. But wow, was Pepper a revelation in 1967! Stupendous, and the soundtrack to the summer of love; i.e. 1967. "A Day in the Life" from Pepper is perhaps their best song ever. I disagree with those here that call it Paul "granny music". It most definetly is not.

  • ATTENTION ROOM: Starting February 2012 Apple Records Inc. will release digitally sanitized versions of the entire Beatle catalogue whereby all of George Harrison's music have been digitally removed. His solo work, guitar work and even his harmonies have all been DIGITALLY eliminated. At a press conference prod. George Martin admitted "We should have done this years ago. The music sparkles now". When Paul McCartney was asked what he thought, he said : "My new wife has BOTH legs"!
  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud WHY DID THEY DO THAT???????

  • @diagreen - For years, George's value to the Beatles has been questioned. His weak voice, his pedestrian guitar playing and his awkward songs have left a giant question mark in the minds of fans and critics: what if George had NOT been a Beatle? Of his 3 good songs, one was PLAGIARIZED and the others received help from John and Paul. George's value has always been dubious. Now, with modern technology, he's been REMOVED. It's a fascinating look at the Beatles without George Harrison, Beatle-Lite.

  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud THE GHOST OF GEORGE HARRISON: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

    Are you pissed because I didn't sign you an autograph when you were a little shit in plimsoles???

    BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Poor Argentine, couldn't lick my Beatle boot and wanted my love!!!!!!!

    BOOOOOOO!!!!!!! GET A LIFE, YA' HACK!!!!!

  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud George Harrison taught John Lennon how to play guitar bet you didn't know that..

  • I think Chuck Norris was having a negative impact on them at this point, nagging for more stage or microphone time, worried about the clothing they wore, and that sort of thing. The Beach Boys were also producing surf music of symphonic quality that diverted public attention from the Fab Four. And there was Viet Nam, of course, and Apple Records. All that sort of thing.

  • I agree with George regarding Pepper. It is not even in my personal top 5 of favorite Beatles' LPs. Following the far more group-oriented Revolver, Pepper was an indulgence in Paul's "granny shit" (as John so cutely put it). Harrison gave them 2 songs (his chincy LP allotment) and BOTH should have been on Pepper. 

  • 1 of the most over rated boring pieces of shit on vinyl start crying hippies

  • What do you suppose happened in '66?

  • @boobah1067 He's talking about how he went to India in '66 to study Indian music with Ravi Shankar.

  • YOU'RE BORING, George! We all know why you didn't like Sgt. Pepper's! The Beatles...ALL OF THEM, including George Martin rejected 7 of your lousy songs! So much for the "quiet" Beatle! Christ, I never hear this guy shut-up about how his music was dissed! He's so intellectually dishonest, this guy! Never mind that this fuck is a PLAGIARIZER!

  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud No It was John and Paul's Massive Ego's and George Martin's Continues Ass Kissing of Lennon/McCartney that's the reason that George's songs were rejected on Pepper...George was a Better Songwriter than John and Paul Combined...

  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud Example Lennon/McCartney: She Loves You Yeah Yeah Yeah, It's Been a Hard Days's Night and i've been working like a Dog it's been a Hard Day's Night i should be sleeping like a Log HAHAHAHAHA Fantastic writing i must say...Now here is George Harrison:: Sunrise doesn't last all morning, a cloudburst doesn't last all day, seems my love is up and its left you with no warning it isn't always gonna be this way....quite the difference in writing...

  • @Lovemyselfidoes81 - Sung to the rhythm of shoes in a drying: - "If you're listening to this song, you may think the chords are going wrong But they're not...I just wrote it like that! It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear Or how I fare or if my hair is brown When it's only a Northern song"! - I don't know how you were DIVERTED you were PERVERTED INVERTED ,ALERTED! - Wah-wah Youve given me a wah-wah And Im thinking of you And all the things that we used to do! Wah-Wah! Wah-Wah!
  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud BTW do you know that "Only A Northen Song" By George was a JAb to John and Paul

  • @Lovemyselfidoes81 - In the end, George merely mocked himself. I suppose there's some wisdom in bashing yourself before others do it for you. Not too ironically, this songs doesn't sound much different from the other pieces of music which brought much criticism from his older, more talented band mates.

    --->"If you're listening to this song, you may think the chords are going wrong, but they're not...I just wrote it like that"! only succeeds in "JABBING" himself...for this is truly awful music!

  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud Who in your mind was the least talented Beatle? George or Ringo i know it has to be one of those two lol

  • @Lovemyselfidoes81 -  Paul. Who else except a musical retard would bring George Harrison into the band?

  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud he brought him in because he was an AMAZING Guitar Player and John was jealous of George's Guitar playing...

  • @Lovemyselfidoes81 George was a stalented as John and Paul. Ringo? Obviously not.

  • @Lovemyselfidoes81 george had a good opening chord riff on a hard day's night though

  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud ...losing interest because he wasn't getting any interest from john and paul i think...perfectly reasonable...and lennon lifted imagine from mozart so plz...they have have done it...ps..alot of those 'rejected' songs ended up on 'all things must pass'..check it out...

  • I am losing interest in being fab also . But what can ya do , if your fab , your fab

  • George's SOUR-GRAPES is easily understood when

    you realize that 6 of his songs were rejected for Sgt.

    Pepper. If you heard these songs, you'd understand

    WHY George Martin and the others felt this music

    was not "Beatle quality". I think these guys knew a

    little bit more about music than you and I. Yes?

  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud It took John and Paul years of practice to become great song writers, much of that time as kids when the press wasn't following their every move. George had to learn by trial and error with the entire world watching. Not exactly fair in my book. ;)

  • @NeverDoubt1 - Yes, you are correct....but you stop short: without the hard work and success of John and Paul...George Harrison and Ringo Star are going nowhere. These guys are not innovators and leaders. Ringo is just studio equipment and George, if anything, is a student. If John and Paul don't pull magic out of their songs...and start hitting on all cylinders soon, it won't matter what George does. In fact, I would argue that George BECAME a product of his environment, he became a musician.

  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud Funny how you've ALSO used the word "pedestrian." Sorry but I can't respond to people with multiple accounts.

  • @NeverDoubt1 excellent point.

  • I don't think George ever said anything positive about the Beatles.

  • @pearlsfortheswines Um, did you watch the entire anthology? You might have missed a few things. ;)

  • george was not infatuated with himself or the beatles ........he was really down to earth & wanted tranquility in his life.....the true lifequest for us all......not money,fame,or power.......but i'll bet it's tough to meditate after you just did 9-5 on a construction site or in some boring office........a carefree lifestyle opens the doors of the mind for artistic, philosophic & itellectual endeavors.........check my spelling eh thespus?

  • the likes of 'Yesterday' and 'Hello Goodbye'). Yet Rubber Soul, with the quite unique sounding Think for yourself and the Byrds-like If I needed someone, and Magical Mystery Tour, with the exceptional Blue Jay Way , arguably form the most distinct Harrison numbers of all.

  • For me, Sergeant Pepper would be only, at best, their fourth greatest album, after (in no particular order) Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour and Abbey Road. Magical Mystery Tour is perhaps closer to what people imagine Segreant Pepper to have been like than it actually was. In terms of a combination of quantity and quality, Revolver was George's finest hour rather than Abbey Road (Something and Here comes the sun were, after all, something similar to what McCartney had already written in

  • Harrison was the first one to quit he walked out during Abbey Road.

  • wow just imagine if george harrison would have quit the beatles

    something tells me they would've either replaced him, or continued with random session musicians

  • He's talking about the white Album not sgt. pepper.

  • SGT PEPPER OVERRATED PIECE OF SHIT TAKE IT AND STICK IT UP YOUR ASS MCCARTNEY SEE IF IT FITS

  • @flakbac wow that shows how little you know about music. sgt pepper's is regarded as one of the greatest rock albums of all time. maybe you're too closed minded to appreciate it's genius.

  • @flakbac - you are of course entitled to your opinion. Perhaps youd like to present us with some of your preferred types of music so we can critique them. Do us a favour though, do NOT even think about suggesting any pop music. If you understood the music and the times it came out of, and who it influenced, you might see SPLHCB in a differant light. You would see it as the revolutionary piece that it was and in some ways still is.

  • curiously, harrison is best known and most celebrated for his "non hindu" themes.

    his input in the band was not as strong as paul's or john's mainly because these two didn't take him seriously, but let's face it... savoy truffle?

  • go watch the "hello goodbye" remastered video on youtube and just pay close attention to george. You could see him barely smiling and he looks extremely bored. It seems that he doesn't want to be part of it.

  • Ungreatfull

    Billions of people wouldve loved to have your job

  • @ASR10MAN You're kidding me, are you serious? I mean really. Are you that jealous? And who exactly is he being ungrateful to? No one would be better for the job than George, he was an amazing musician and songwriter. His heart was in India and John and Paul were making more money off of his songs than he was. I can see why he was getting tired of all of it.

  • @ASR10MAN Well billions of people couldnt do his job. You imagine trying to work with lennon and McCartney at that time...

  • i knew he was bored of Sgt. Pepper, did you see him in I Am The Walrus?

  • harrison was a genius. three superstars in one band, what else is there to say

  • Check out the video of George doing "When we were fab", it's brilliant and a charming look back in time with tongue-in-cheek. A great man from the greatest musical factory of all time. Wonderful indeed and thanks for the clip.

  • @morristonian - I have watched "When We Was Fab". Aside from it being grammatically incorrect, it is (like most of Harrison's work) RINKY-DINK. George's music suffers from this "ker-thunk, ker-thunk, ker-thunk" rhythm....like shoes in a dryer. Frankly, most of his solo work is painful.

  • Like it or not Sgt.Pepper is one of their most famous albums....

  • Meh,'Sgt. Pepper's' is still their best album.

  • He still took the paycheck. How fab.

  • @SubconsciousGatherer  SHUT THE FUCK UP

  • @24rusguy Well put. How could I ever sensibly reply to such eloquence on your part? How terribly fab of you.

  • Comment removed

  • @SubconsciousGatherer He said he didnt like the album much, he didnt say he hated it, he didnt say he regrets doing it, so you can sit there and piss and fucking moan ! And stop using the same fucking word 'Fab' its not fresh or funny it just makes you sound like a fucking queer

  • @24rusguy How do you know I'm *not* a fucking queer? Are you homophobic or something?

  • @SubconsciousGatherer Erm what? Why wouldn't he? He put in the work and still wrote some brilliant songs when with the beatles.

    Are you saying it'd be wrong for someone to get paid for doing a job if they didn't like the job?

  • Is there one video in which George Harrison isn't moaning? Did he smile after 1964?

  • @WillShakespeare2007 You're a bitchcockface.

  • @WillShakespeare2007

    Yeah, just imagine playing Carl Perkins in Liverpool clubs in your fifties, George. That fame stuff won't look so horrible.

  • @WillShakespeare2007 I love George ,but i would like to hear hom say something good about being a Beatle.

  • @shakedownstreet48 I don't think he really had anything good to say.. he was a step above Ringo, sorta Middle child syndrom<-sp, Paul, and John were busy with themselves, and such, John was sorta the big brother since both he and John played Guitar, so there was probly abit of a Rivalry thing going on that he didn't like.

  • all 4 Beatles were equally importnat- they all contributed to the bad wether its playing their instrument really well and a uniqque way to singing to songwriting to keeping the peace to their personalities- it took 4 to make the Beatles. one man couldnt make a band

  • Yes, Paul created 61,5% of this.

    Not to mention that the actual album concept was Paul's.

    George and John wrote songs that have nothing to do with this idea.

    So, let's say that Paul is actually very good on pretending to be what he is not.

  • In response to all the wildly inaccurate comments on this video, I'll just say that George's involvement with Sgt. Pepper was so small because he was way into Indian music at the time, and that that was taking up most of his time and interest away from recording.

  • One can easily see why Sgt. Pepper was boring for him. He hardly appears on the album. He only composed one of the songs. One song!!! He had gotten three on Revolver, the album before. He was re-gressing in that regard. Between all of the horns, psychedelic effects, and orchestration, George wasn't asked to play much. Indeed, he was a session man. Ringo commented too that he learned to play chess during the sessions because he had so much downtime.

  • @Doleafol In a Beatles book I have called "Beatlessongs" they don't have George listed playing on the song. I believe 1967 was the "hump" of their career and after 1967 it started a down hill ride to the bottom when they fell apart. One could only imagine had they stayed together into the early 1970s what they may have sounded like.

  • You stil believe that!?

  • @Kunundrum yes and he has the same gesture and appearance,and smile like Paul,OM,thats called paranoia,go to visit your doc

  • It was essentially Paul's album, and both John and George resented that.

  • @stratman06 how bout ringo

  • Comment removed

  • lol Sgt Pepper was boring to him because he wasn't a composer. And when making this particular album, he couldnt do anything cause there were almost no guitars on it, and he didnt right lyrics, or harmonies, or melodies, so he was just another session player. Just like Brian Wilson tellin his mates of Beach Boys what to do after he had completed the backin tracks

    George and Ringo were some of the luckiest bastards ever

  • @jammmon All Things Must Pass was the most successful Solo album by any former Beatle. Remember that before calling someone incapable of "righting".

  • @DreadfulRay amen to that

  • @DreadfulRay "Writing" you mean. But how are you sure it was the most sucessful album? Did it sell the most.

  • @lifestraight You missed the joke. I said righting because some brilliant snowflake was knocking on him and said righting.

  • @DreadfulRay Right, my bad. But how are u sure it was the most successful.

  • @DreadfulRay It was, George just exploded with material. I like his 1975 "Extra Texure (Reall All About It)" album. John and Paul should have been more supportive of George's material.

  • you are my friend...ignorance personified!...nothin more dangerous than someone with a little bit of knowledge!

  • George doesn't like Sgt. Pepper because Paul plays lead guitar on "Sgt. Pepper," "Good Morning, Good Morning" and George isn't even on "She's Leaving Home, or "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite."

  • the a side ended with mr. kite, which gave people this psychedelic tailspin, and the first song from the b side was within you without you, which just made it sound so otherworldly. george's song made me feel like i was transported into their world.

  • George was stabbed by a madman

    but JOHN was murdered by these MEN

    watch?v=8DQp0QxkBCU

  • So his head wasn' t in the game anymore.

    Wonder if all 4 had wanted to move on before they did ?

  • love george!

  • tomorrow never knows was also a good meditation song.

  • I miss you George. See you in heaven my friend. When I join the dead people I will play music with, John, George, Freddie Mercury, Elvis, Eric Carr and many more. See you all.

  • George was focused on work for his "Wonderwall" album at the time Sgt. Pepper was made.

  • He did Wthin You Wthout You which is the essence of that record. After that the whole worls was meditating

  • @2oldstyle55 and Smoking....

  • It's no wonder he didn't like "Pepper"...Paul plays lead guitar on the title track and "Good Morning, Good Morning", George doesn't appear at all on "Mr. Kite" or "She's Leaving Home" and aside from his one track, GH's other contributions are quite small on "Pepper."

  • He was an integral part of The Beatles, dummy. His personality was part of the band. They wouldn't have been The Beatles if they had all been enthusiastic and happy all the time, if they were so 1 dimensional that they never complained. No, these were 4 kids who had grown up together into men and were transcending music into all of these different forms and branching off into their own interests, and getting married and having kids. All of those dynamics affected how great the music was.

  • exactly.

  • You're spot on Superman!

  • it wasnt like that from what i gather and i maybe right is that george felt or knew that he was living a lie and things didnt click for him while he was in the beatles and he was very underated

  • I think "the Quiet Beatle" is a more appropirate appellation for Ringo. His response to a two minute question about musical evolution was typically "yes", or "I hadn't thought about it." George was more the Spiritual Beatle.

  • i agree.

  • You're right. George's "silence" is actually deep and spiritual. Ringo's "silence" is more like...the way I see it anyway.. he's just there to play drums and contribute to the atmosphere, not of the music, of the band. The songs he sang are the lighter-not-serious ones [it is not necessarily bad]. George always seemed to have something more inside of him.

  • @99heysenave

    John: Peace

    Paul: Love

    George: Spirit

    Ringo: Nursery rhymes

  • @RedWolf3487

    John: Mozart

    Paul: Beethoven

    George: Donny Osmand

    Ringo: Cheeseburger

  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud why do people diss ringo?

    drumming is essential 

  • @UnifiedaxxS - It's by far much easier to be a BAD

    drummer than a GOOD one. A GOOD drummer is

    like a "good" tambourine player. It isn't THAT hard. A

    dime a dozen and easy to replace. It would be different

    if Ringo had been versatile. He was a good neutral foil

    for the other two huge egos. Unlike George, Ringo knew

    his place. Otherwise, there's nothing special about his

    talents. Unless you actually like the sound of SHOES IN

    A DRYER: Ker-Plunk! Ker-Plunk! Ker-Plunk!

  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud Hi it's me again. I'm just making sure that people find out about your sick obsession and hatred. Frightwolf... TwoUselessLegs....thegrinch7..­. any more? You mastered the art of trolling to a perfection. Now time to die. Please.

  • @gietek - Hi! You forgot "ArgentineExpel4Fraud"! You silly potty fucker! Tee hee! Hey, I'm going on vacation and I've asked TwoUselessLegs to insult you while I'm gone. I'm going to a "OCCUPY GEORGE HARRISON" rally in Washington DC. We've had it with millionaire Beatles with NO TALENT taking up air time on the radio playing his shit! Please feel free to join us! We're expecting near a million people!

  • @ArgentineExpel4Fraud And yet, there are more:

    FrightWolf, ArgentinaExpel4Fraud, TwoUselessLegs, thegrinch7, CubanCheGuevara, UploadedGiovlin, MrAnusmystere.

    Enjoy your miserable pathetic little life. And don't forget to die.

  • @RedWolf3487 :C nuu why does everyone hate on poor Ringo??? :'(

  • @RedWolf3487 Ringo was Talented i hate how he gets a Bad Rap

  • @romans52345 I agree, but with a minor correction: Ringo IS talented.

  • @RedWolf3487

    John Lennon = Mozart

    Paul McCartney = Beethoven

    Ringo Starr =  Donny Osmond

    George Harrison = A Cheese Burger

  • being Fab really is what brought the best of George....

    thanx to John and Paul "Long time ago When we was fab"

  • Yes, I also respect him as a person and as a musicion.

  • Happy Birthday to you...

    Happy Birthday to you...

    Happy Birthday dear Georgie...

    Happy Birthday to you!

    Jai Guru Dev to the Maharaja of Beatlemania.

  • Oh,thank you!!

    i love George!!my sweet George!!
