only the beatles could take a single chord like F sharp and turn it into one of the most recognizeable intros for any song ever written. brilliant!!!!!!!!!
I was at the Beatles concert in Minneapolis in 1969, I was age 14 and the ticket was something like $3.50. But the point is, that although I have bragging rights and I can remember being so happy and excited, I can also remember that I couldn't hear ANYTHING because of all the screaming (not me). That was disappointing and from what I understand, the main reason they quit touring.
2:35-2:43 Why would John Lennon and the other Beatles have lyrics condemning Chairman Mao in their Revolution song? Many student radicals, leftist groups, hippies, rock singers, and rock bands like the Beatles liked admired Mao Tse-tung and his teachings along with other Communist revolutionaries like Castro, Che Guevara and Ho Chi Minh. For many Western radicals of the 60s, Mao was considered a hero, a savior and an inspiration.
I am sure the Beatles knew Mao as the monster he was, he killed more than 78 MILLION people under his reign, surpassing Stalin 23 Million, Hitler 12Million, Pol Pot 1.7Million and many others. The Beatles were revolutionaries, but peaceful and just wanted to be left alone. Listen to Taxman, they were probably more libertarian than anything, maybe left-libertarian. I seriously doubt the were inspired by this madman.

On July 30th 2011 view every Beatles video you can , and make sure you like it too.
This will be national Beatles day.blast their music, sing their songs, do everything to celebrate! Music today is junk, auto-tunes, and not their real voices example: Lady GaGa, Kesha Justin Beiber, and many more. More kids should listen to music like this, real music. Agreed? THE BEATLES RULE. Thumbs up so everyone can see, and please repost to every Beatles video!
@RockyRaccoonsFriend I really like the idea (I know its not yours, but its still a good one)... but on the other hand, maybe it would be wise to spread the message thru other bands. I mean, everyone knows the Beatles. Even the people who listen to shitty music appreciate the Beatles. But what about bands that had slightly less popularity that were still amazing, like the Grateful Dead, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Bob Dylan, etc etc. Great music as well, but fallen to the wayside.
funny how timeless this song is.... well, maybe not so funny. History repeats itself. Hope we can break the cycle. I worry about what we've left for our children and grandchildren.
@JulzPlanet just tell your children that rap/hiphop and all that shit is not good for your ears and will go bald in a matter of time. My brother told his kids and this music is all they listen to.
It is spectacular to look at history, especially from where I am today. I am only 16 years old actually and to see how people have shaped and changed the world is pretty interesting. Now, I now there is sin in this world; that is evident. That is only because of Satan though. I strongly belive that Jesus has saved the world and he is calling people to follow him. We are all sinners, but Jesus loves us anyways, and he wants his people to except the love that he has given us. God loves all people.
Dici che vuoi fare la rivoluzione Bè, sai Tutti noi vogliamo cambiare il mondo Mi dici che è evoluzione Bè, sai Tutti noi vogliamo cambiare il mondo Ma quando parli di distruzione Non sai che non devi contare su di me Non sai che andrà tutto bene Non sai che andrà tutto bene Non sai che andrà tutto bene
@lillyrose1919 saying this is the best Beatles song is like saying medium rare steak is the best kind of food. Theres so many different kinds of songs they've made. THere's so many good songs.
I don't like the message of this song at all (don't fix the constitution or the instutions, just sit around a free your mind) but I still love the... I don't know, the presentation. It's a great song but a bad message.
@derdriui I think you have misinterpreted the song, they're against violence and war they're for change but not the kind that involves corruption and harm etc.
@derdriui ...This song was a response to violent riots in Europe and elsewhere 40+ years ago. I take your point about needing to fix institutions given what's going on in Africa right now. But the song is an honest response from someone who prefers civil disobedience to violence...and how spot-on was he to blast Mao, one of the most vicious humans to ever rule? I've always loved the line: But when you want money for people with minds that hate, all I can tell is brother you have to wait."
nice song ...but then he ruined it with that infamous 8 minutes track called 'Revolution 9' too much intake of drugs and spending time with a mentally challenged avant garde Jap lady.
La rivoluzione non è un pranzo di gala, non è una festa letteraria, non è un disegno o un ricamo, non si può fare con tanta eleganza, con tanta serenità e delicatezza, con tanta grazia e cortesia, la rivoluzione è un atto di violenza. (Mao Zedong)
Is there any band that had the best individual talent,muscians,songwriters and singers. EVER.I was born long after they broke up.They're my favorite band.The amazing thing is they were only together for 10 years and accomplished so much.They're the greatest band ever.Every artist before and after them took aspects of the Beatles music and applied it to their own. John Lennon,Paul McCartney,George Harrison and Ringo Starr are the greatest quartet and ensemble for a band.
Beatles Karaoke! Uh wheres Nicki Hopkins playing his exact background piano...Catch George playing an A bar chord...still the vocals are cool and this is one of my favorite versions! Kinda wish John didn't say in...
