This show was so great. I was only 4 when it was out & I used to sit on my curb waiting for them to come to my house. It's a sin what my kids have to watch these days.....nothing like this.
I liked the Monkees when i was growing up and they was a real band and they had there own show out what ya think about that now and there still makeing music to this day. But i belive its only Davey Jones, Mickey, And Peter i dont think Mike plays with them any more. I know they are still doing shows though its on the net look it up it will tell you.
Also, instrumentals aside, they sang lead on every record that says they did and Micky's voice in particular has a great unique sound. He was a wonderful pop/rock vocalist who put lots of feeling & soul into the songs. Many of the successful pop singers now cannot hold a candle to MD. not to mention rock singers of all decades who are not known for their melodious vocals...if it's hard 60's rock you want listen to the doors or the stones, if u want great pop listen to Micky Dolenz.
Not at that point in time, they weren't a real band., Neocon. C'mon, don't kid yourself. The most damnable scenes are when Mike Nesmith is supposedly strumming the guitar, the camera always shoots the hands first and then a second later goes to a close up of his face looking all focused. Neocon, do not delude yourself, especially in a public forum, regardless if we are communicating in a disembodied fashion. Word.
khultan, they are a real band. and like ALL 'real bands' who did movies/videos/shows, they most often lipsynched for the camera.
do you think the beatles were playing their music LIVE and singing LIVE when filmed in 'hard days night'? even when they were running around acting silly?
and like most real bands, SESSIONS ARTISTS played on the albums (this includes the beatles). why? because sessions artists are better at their instruments than anyone in the beatles, monkees, etc.
Neo, fact: they did not produce the music themselves in the studio during the time of their television program, why is this so offensive for you to not accept this?!? The skill level was never there.
so, since when is 'producing the music themselves' THE definition of being a 'real band'?
this is the faux-intelligensia mindset of the 1960s, particularly after the beatles became...well...'the beatles'.
however, there have been many groups before/since that did not produce their own music.
if that's the case, then dean martin, frank sinatra aren't 'real singers' or 'real entertainers'. in fact, 'they byrds', can't be a 'real band', since a shit load of their songs are by dylan.
'video', as in for a television show or movie? won't find many.
then again, you won't find many 'videos' of that kind showing the BEATLES playing their own instruments (in 'video', i mean 'hard day's night' kinda joint, upon with 'the monkees' were based on).
or, for most 'videos' shown on the 'ed sullivan show' or any similar show, you won't find TOO many bands playing their own instruments.
your argument is rather weak. you can keep saying they aren't a real band.
keep it in the context, Neo. They were not a real band performing those songs as the incarnation as The Monkees in their time. You'll just ping pong it back to me with another of your denying nonsense.
There is video of 1967 Monkees concerts where they played and sang. They played live all over America at that time. There are also some outakes from the show in the DVD set and at least two scenes IN the show that I can think of where they informally play and sing w/ no lip synching. The album "Headquarters" was performed completely by the Monkees.This idea that they couldn't play at all is a myth. They had to sing & play an instrument to even audtion for the show.
khutan, in your zeal to put the monkees down, you didnt know that mike nesmith and peter tork were actual muscians.
you didn't know that peter tork was buddies with stephen stills. he was also able to play MULTIPLE INSTRUMENTS and was part of the folk music scene in the early 60s.
david was a singer and actor; micky sang and LEARNED how to play the drums.
they played LIVE IN CONCERT.
finally, few groups in the 60s played music on their 'videos' or on shows. too hard to control.
[snarling]....exasperated as I am, disembodied communication and not 'face to face' as it is, I'm saying once more and yet again: show me actual videos of THEM, The Monkees, playing their freaking instruments. Can you do this, hunh?!? Why is this so [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] difficult for you to try to do?!? Hunh?
Hmpf....your appraisal really means a lot. I'm searching on the World Wide Web, Neoco, and I'm telling you, I've not found actual videos of The Monkees naturally reproducing the songs and music in their time like a natural band should. I lose?!? You just simply had to support your claim with evidence. I'm not here to contest and win a prize, I just want the facts. I lose?!? WTH???
must mean something...you keep going out of your way to tell the world your baseless opinion that the monkees weren't a real band.
LOL...you think that someone on here who likes the monkees will suddenly change their mind based on what you say?
few if any groups can 'naturally reproduce' the music on the records live. again, like it or not, most groups back in the day (likely NOW) have sessions artists do the real recording work. fact, my friend.
well, i told you about 'live 67'. there's also a dvd of the monkees that shows, amongst other things, performing LIVE ON STAGE in 1967.
you have nothing else to offer along the lines of 'not a real band'.
you said they didnt produce their music, and i told you just like any other band of that time.
you then went to a 'music video' from the show, 'proving' (LOL) that nesmith's fingers weren't in sync. as if they would play music on a television show.
I lose and you win. That's the way your world is in your head, hunh? It's as though I were trying to reason against a retarded normal person as you seem to be. 'you have nothing else to offer blah blah blah etc and so on....'
you started with 'they aren't a real band'. you were proven wrong.
you then slid over to 'they don't produce their own music, so they aren't a real band'. again, you were proven wrong, since MOST bands back then didn't produce their own music.
then you came up with the 'in the video from their television show, his fingers aren't in synch with the music'. thrice you were proven wrong, since NOBODY on a t.v. show/movie played their instruments 'real time'.
Neoc, what does being a frustrated musician have to do with anything, hmmm? You see, your supposedly sound reasoning is not to be trusted. I do love music and the fact that I offer criticism whether favorable or not you come at me sideways with that? Now, YOU, put it that way when, as a appreciator of all styles of music as a description of myself, why shouldn't I challenge and question an alleged fact, hunh? You crummy human sheep.
i dont KNOW what you POSSIBLY BEING a frustrated musician has to do with this. that's why i asked you, khultan, 'are you perhaps a frustrated musician?'
IF you are, and have seen little success, you may be a tad envious of the monkees. maybe not. it was a question that you didn't answer, so one can only PRESUME you are a 'frustrated musician' that is envious of the monkees.
why else would you constantly say 'they weren't a real band'? what's in it for you?
According to legend, Davey was the only Monkee singing on this record. None of the others were involved or were aware because of musical director Don Kirshner, who had constant fights with Nesmith and Tork over musical differences (BTW, that IS Neil Diamond in the background). When Nesmith found out the song was released, he punched a hole in the wall and told Kirshner, 'That could have been your head.' Kirshner was eventually fired and the Monkees began performing their own songs.
I knew all their songs by the time I hit 3 years old.I still love um!:D My dad used to always play their music and I loved their show.We have all the episodes on tape.Funny stuff!
P.S. Too bad theyre not current day lol I would've loved Peter,but yeah.....Too ooolllllddddd for me cuz im 15 lol and he's what?In his 60's....That is just so wrong!
Funny that they had better songs then probably 99% of the pro bands out there today. I mean if a band like Fag out boy or Plain White T had a song like this you`d never hear the end of it.
I remember hurrying up to get our chores done when we were kids so that we could watch the Monkees on Saturdays. My mom had posters all over her walls of them and when her aunt would visit she wouldn't change in her room because she felt like they were staring at her. Thanks for uploading these.
believe it or not. i was in guitar center in towson maryland a couple of years ago..and a guy that worked there told me peter tork was in guitar center shopping.none of the gc staff wanted his autograph...so i found him in the drum room and got his autograph on the back of a buisness card i had gotten at a tattoo shop in fellspoint..the baltimore tattoo mueseum..he signed it with a green marker..... he was very nice !

Neil Diamond had a few songs including this one and I'm a Believer. Carol King wrote some, Boyce and Hart wrote many and even Harry Nilson wrote one. Mike Nesmith got to write as well, "Mary Mary".
Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork were musicians when the Monkees were formed. Mickey Dolenz was given drum lessons so he could effectively mime playing. Through much practice and many rehearsals the Monkees eventually became a legitimate band and successfully toured N. America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. But most of their early recordings used studio musicians.
Well duh! Who do you think wrote this tune? That's right, Neil Diamond himself. The television show paid to have some of the best commercial songwriters (which is what Neil Diamond was before he became a hit solo recording artist) write many of the Monkees' tunes. People like Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart, Carole King, and the aforementioned Mr. Diamond. So, no real surprise that this tune kind of sounds like Cherry Cherry at the beginning (and you're right, it does).
they remind me of the beatles in a way, but when a band like the beatles makes as big of an impact in music as they did of course there will be a lot of other bands who try to achieve the same amount of success. i think the monkees made a name for themselves and shouldn't really be compared to the beatles. the beatles are in a league of their own. :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The Monkees were actually not a band. They were a group of actors on a show that CBS produced in order to cash in on the Beatles craze. The drummer, Peter Tork, didn't actually know how to play the drums at first and only agreed to do so after the other actors refused to.
zoinks3: The problem with music today is that garbage is rewarded, and the best of talent most of the time is not recognized. Some who I believe have no talent: Madonna, Britney, Jessica Simpson, Miley Cyrus, and her dad. Marketing is a huge business that reaps great rewards.
Is THAT why rap crap and hippity-hop is all you hear on the radio now days???? Can't anyone see that it belongs in the SAME TOILET that it CRAWLED out of?
fudgypaul: Why are you embarrassed of having owned The best of Bobby Sherman? I sent for that cd through the mail and I love it. I really like Mr. Success, She lets her hair down, and bubble gum and braces. He was an entertainer and his voice was not bad.

Funny that they had better songs then probably 99% of the pro bands out there today. I mean if a band like Fag out boy or Plain White T had a song like this you`d never hear the end of it.

I remember hurrying up to get our chores done when we were kids so that we could watch the Monkees on Saturdays. My mom had posters all over her walls of them and when her aunt would visit she wouldn't change in her room because she felt like they were staring at her. Thanks for uploading these.

Neil Diamond had a few songs including this one and I'm a Believer. Carol King wrote some, Boyce and Hart wrote many and even Harry Nilson wrote one. Mike Nesmith got to write as well, "Mary Mary".

Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork were musicians when the Monkees were formed. Mickey Dolenz was given drum lessons so he could effectively mime playing. Through much practice and many rehearsals the Monkees eventually became a legitimate band and successfully toured N. America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. But most of their early recordings used studio musicians.

Wow. Those chords in the intro sound exactly like Cherry Cherry By Neil Diamond. It's a good song regardless though. Monkees Rule!!
jman6718 3 years ago
Well duh! Who do you think wrote this tune? That's right, Neil Diamond himself. The television show paid to have some of the best commercial songwriters (which is what Neil Diamond was before he became a hit solo recording artist) write many of the Monkees' tunes. People like Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart, Carole King, and the aforementioned Mr. Diamond. So, no real surprise that this tune kind of sounds like Cherry Cherry at the beginning (and you're right, it does).

they remind me of the beatles in a way, but when a band like the beatles makes as big of an impact in music as they did of course there will be a lot of other bands who try to achieve the same amount of success. i think the monkees made a name for themselves and shouldn't really be compared to the beatles. the beatles are in a league of their own. :)

The Monkees were actually not a band. They were a group of actors on a show that CBS produced in order to cash in on the Beatles craze. The drummer, Peter Tork, didn't actually know how to play the drums at first and only agreed to do so after the other actors refused to.
sponge2676 3 years ago

Actually, I'm pretty sure all of them could play instruments except Davy, and he could sing well. And ya, the drummer's Mickey Dolenz.

Life was so much better then.
The music was great, the people were friendly, and everything was so much easier.
Know we have to walk down the streets constantly looking over our shoulders.
When I turn on the radio I all I hear is rappers and singers talking about killing, drugs, gangs, or prostitutes.
And then I turn on the tv and see the same people getting honors and awards for the terrible things they say!
What the hell happened?!?!?
Omg...
Sorry but I had to get that off my chest...

zoinks3: The problem with music today is that garbage is rewarded, and the best of talent most of the time is not recognized. Some who I believe have no talent: Madonna, Britney, Jessica Simpson, Miley Cyrus, and her dad. Marketing is a huge business that reaps great rewards.
