Beatles Anthology (6/12) - Special Features

[leesyloo131]

@Zephyesa That's crap. George was confined to 2 songs per album, and only 1 on Sgt Pepper because of the Lennon/McCartney domination. He was stock-piling songs towards the end of the band. And anyway, other than Norwegian Wood and Tomorrow Never Knows, there weren't many other songs by Paul and John that showed George's Indian influences.

[beatlesfan464]

LOL Look at Pauls face when the piano comes in. :O lol

[wrh1984]

"We are gathered here today...."

[Zephyesa]

George became a tyrant towards the band with his indian stuff,even John bowed before his agressiveness.

[Johnnywhamo]

I watch Geroge Martin caress the board keys and I wonder how many millions of times he's touched those keys...or what ever they're called.

[raidergunz]

I wish they could go through every song in their catalog and analyze them.

[johnsomnia]

4:30 Paul LOVES that ending piano! I never knew it ended so, erm, abruptly after the fade-out! Neat tidbit.

[johnsomnia]

0:44 "Also because of uh, some of the other influences." Yeah, I know what "influences" you mean, wink wink. Can't argue with 'Tomorrow Never Knows!'

[uburei]

BRING PHIL COLLINS IN! hwahehewhewhewheh

[wellitstrue102]

"that's how we did it really"

yeah no big deal

...NOT lol

[PMRizzle66]

[MoveOverCasanova]

1:38 "serious music now" -LOL

look at pauls insisting mean look, i love it,

he was made fun of all the time for being "mr babyface nice guy with his granny music", but he is so confident, he just stands above all that bullshitting--MACCA RULES!!!!

[Jah044445]

I like how they get excited with every new sound that comes on haha. This type of innovation and genius it was inspires me, they are the reason I started learning music years ago, they're my motivation to keep playing, they make me want to do this stuff for the rest of my life.

[johnnyM025]

Thank you for the Comments below by Xmenfan246 regarding Ringo's drumming. I know nothing about drumming but Im sick of hearing critics of his work and worth, he played his part as much say as George did or the others in the jigsaw that made the Beatles what they were.

George Martin: the Important Beatle!

[adamkincaid1234]

Those lucky lucky bastards X

[smidijack]

genius that can not be replicated. Ever. Like the tape loops discussed, it could only happen that way one time. And that one time is called The Beatles.

[JohnLennon4King]

paul looks like he's having fun on that machine

[MoveOverCasanova]

3:00 -

what does george mean with "bring phil collins in"?

[jamkecil]

@MoveOverCasanova when george said that, they were hearing some animal and wild zoo thingy sounds right ?, well phil collins had a song called "back in africa" or whatever, so george made the joke out of it

[dancheyne]

@MoveOverCasanova

Phil Collins did a cover of Tomorrow Never Knows on his 1981 album Face Value.

[Xmenfan246]

Kenny Arnoff -- "I consider him one of the greatest innovators of rock drumming and believe that he has been one of the greatest influences on rock drumming today... Ringo has influenced drummers more than they will ever realize or admit. Ringo laid down the fundamental rock beat that drummers are playing today and they probably don't even realize it. (Modern Drummer,Oct. 1987)

[Xmenfan246]

Elvis Costello - "Ringo Starr played the drums with an incredibly unique feel that nobody can really copy, although many fine drummers have tried and failed." (Rolling Stone, Issue 946 — April 15, 2004)

[Xmenfan246]

Ringo "doesn't dazzle with flashy technique and pyrotechnics," says The Cars' lead guitarist, Elliot Easton. "What he does is so much more elusive and difficult: He plays songs on the drums. Anybody who has sat down behind a drum kit in the last 45 years owes him." (USA Today, Praising Ringo Starr, one drummer to another)

[Xmenfan246]

"Starr is vastly underrated. The drum fills on the song "A Day in the Life" are very complex things. You could take a great drummer today and say, 'I want it like that.' He wouldn't know what to do." - Drummer Phil Collins (The Making of Sgt. Pepper, 1992)

[Xmenfan246]

"One of Ringo's great qualities was that he composed unique, stylistic drum parts for The Beatles songs. His parts are so signature to the songs that you can listen to a Ringo drum part without the rest of the music and still identify the song." -Steve Smith

[truculantmuse]

I've always felt this song was the birth of an entire (though short-lived) genre of music. Can anyone find an Acid Rock song that predated Revolver?

[thesubtleface]

"It's HIS idea" (Paul motioning to George).....all these nuances (body language, the odd word...) one can pick up between Paul and George in these Anthology scenes are fascinating and show the niggling feelings they feel towards each other despite their (probable) love for each other. Ringo definitely seems like the mediator.

[ryanbrownnew]

george looks off his tits staring at the ceiling half the time

[aarfeld]

Fascinating. Their primitive, hands-on technology is an important quality in what it is that makes their recordings so authentic and warm. Today's over-produced, computer- generated recordings, with the ease of flying phaders and synthetic sounds, renders so much of what you hear today cold and sterile.

[rozzie101]

Indian music 'eh'

[shareschannel]

phill collins is the anti christ of music - noel gallagher

[BobMcCob]

woah, mccartny seems pretty baked.

[aarfeld]

He's just keen with the spirt, Bob.

[ritaformula1]
