How can anyone with the ability to think actually enjoy this "music?" Honestly? To anyone defending this, you more than likely have never actually heard music before OR are some pretentious, self absorbed prick who thinks that the sound of pots and pans falling on the ground has some sort of hidden meaning that "lesser minds" are to simple to grasp. This IS AWFUL.
@paulsbreakfast THIS ISN'T EVEN MUSIC! There is nothing to stick! No tune, rhythem, beat, harmony, melody, or lyrics. There is nothing left when you take music out of it!
This is god awful, its like what modern art looks like. ass, music should be based on something than doesnt offend the ears. this is abience at best. no human in his right mind would listen to this to find peace, joy, motivation. its balls, a big fat bag of lsd, crack, meth, shrooms, es, coke, heroin its fucked, offensive to all senses.
@MrEpiclyrandom No I actually wouldn't listen to it, it doesn't do anything for me, so I'm telling you that I support this "msuic" because I support this artist. And you're someone that see's nothing in everything :3
Just open your mind or at least never come back to this page again, unless for some subconscious reason, your being pulled back to it.
If you guys really say this is good, then you are just biased and can't admit John had some below par stuff... Yes, he was great, but even he had some well... not so great stuff.
And this isn't "artistic" it's just weird. I'm sorry, I don't like it.
@MrEpiclyrandom Just because you're a musician too doesn't entitle you to some superior opinion to others', if you don't like it, screw off and don't ruin the positive vibes that people get from this. Not saying I like it melodically, but it's interesting on a artistic level. And if you don't understand or rather, want to understand then quit trolling.
In my opinion, Yoko Ono can't sing, doesn't look good, and was a reason the Beatles broke up. Of course, this is just what I think, John loved her and I respect his opinion.
Oh yeah, when I saw the Two Virgins album cover for the first time, I fucking nearly threw up. Yuck.
for those who critisize this as crap, you are truley ignorant
try JOHN CAGE CARTRIDGE MUSIC and Artikulation [elektronische Musik] / György Ligeti.and Atemzüge (1970-71) für mehrere Stimmorgane und Reproduktionsgeräte. Choralvorspiele I /
if this were used for a soundtrack everyone would love it. Instead they talk shit because they cant visualize the places these sounds want to take you.
It's not pretentious. It's self-indulgent. But in the 1968 - 1971 period there was a lot of this. Pink Floyd did a lot of "sound experiments" like this -- so did Frank Zappa.
I'm willing to guarantee that none of the shit talkers here as musicians and if they are, they're not very good ones. There's also a bunch of crybabies too "YOKO DESTROYED HIM! SHE BROKE UP THE BEATLES! WE COULD'VE HAD A NEW ALBUM!" BOO-HOO. The Beatles put out enough albums and it was about time they all started doing their own thing anyway. The Beatles had already made their money and now it was time for them to continue their journeys as musicians. Who cares if you don't like it? No one.
@LittleBobbio Well obviously you do. You just wrote a paragraph saying fuck you to all of the "shit talkers" The comments obviously touched you and you lashed out.
This does suck and they label it as "ART!" to hide the lack of production value, soul, effort, time, talent, skill, creativity.
I don't know why people say they don't get this one. Sure its a bit esoteric and lesser minds have a harder time understanding its deeper meaning. But if you look between the lines you will see the true nature of what the message is. And that message is .... "LSD rocks, and people will pay you to do anything if you are married to a Beatle"
if you think this is awful , you are wrong. this is musicaly boring but its advant garde. If you wanna hear some really strange music ,listen Satan Panonski (punk). His songs are pervert and sado-mazo and some of them are ‚‚normal‚‚ ,some of them are very advant garde
I tried really, really hart to figure out what the fuck is wrong with them, but I can't understand. Whatever it is, they were so fucking messed up! Oo
this isn't that weird for an avant-garde piece. it sucks that close-minded people have to bash anything out of their ordinary. anyway, this is pretty good. mesmerizing visuals with fitting sounds
to those who don't know what pretentious is.....this right here is the example of it lol...John Lennon was a great musician...BUT this right here was down right stupid.
And THAT, sir, is why the Beatles broke up. And the ironic thing is, all these years on, 99% of people are still wearing the same blinkers. It doesn't have two choruses and three verses and have people going "Yea yea yea" in it, so it can't possibly be music, or be of any worth.
At first I didn't know what to think about this song b-cuz I didn't like avant-garde. Then once I got high I realized this was probably what it sounds like in the heads of John & Yoko when they get stoned.
@TheGodslonelyman ok I know it sounds quite terrible, I'm pretty sure they were stoned to a certain degree :P but frankly, I don't like you're tone, sir
Being the gods lonely man and all you wouldn't put stuff like that on the web, spitting out such pice of crap "thank god he died"?, what are you mental or something?
@TheGodslonelyman Thanks for sharing it with us :) I feel bad for you, being mental and all...ok I'll stop now...just saying I understand you're issue, to this song or musical experiment anyway but don't ever dare to say thank god John Lennon died again!
How is thanking God for John Lennon's death appropriate or even humorous in ANY sense of the word? Yoko didn't pull the trigger. Mark David Chapman did.
tape loops,mellotron,piano,yoko ono's voice, john lennon's voice and a slowed down tape[or record player].being overdubbed into a cassette[30-min 15 min on each side] on a tape deck.that makes a lot of sense.
John and Yoko said they spend all night making the tape and in the morning they had sex very beautiful. but the music it self makes no scene to me at all
@ColaberMilk one of the great fallacies that infects the forums of youtube. comments should not be restricted to mere praise... the whole point of presenting work on a public forum like youtube is so that it can be judged, whether positively or negatively. this whole "if you don't like it, don't watch it or don't comment" thing is absolute horseshit. if the video is genuinely bad people have a right to say so. that being said, i've heard much better avant-garde work than this
However, this wasn't organized nor orchestrated. It's just a stoned first date. And it's irritating, with or without drugs. I get it; sexual revolution and other such diatribes. Whatever. I'll go back to Sgt. Pepper.
I understand why he made this...although, I'm not sure what possessed him to release it. See when I first heard this, I had only heard a brief sound clip from 3:33 - 3:38. Listening to that small bit is a disturbing selection of sounds, and I was hoping to hear something like that. It would have a weird factor that Fantomas or Mr. Bungle would create.
It's a bit more complicated than that. She stalked him and eventually he came around. Eh, it's complicated. Read Tony Bramwells book entitled "Magical mystery tours" for the scoop.
i think it's something like metal machine music by lou reed. just having some fun, it must be relaxing to do something like these every once in a while
This reminds me of Revolution 9. It's creepy as hell, but for some reason, you want to watch it again, and again, and again... @ least I do, anyway. Nobody else seems too. xD
The music sounds like Arnold Shoenberg's elcetrified!!(?)! I wonder of John and Yoko new about Shoenberg and the 20th century neo-classical composers?
It is hard to listen to, but you have to admit it's very original!
you must be on another plane to understand. Period. Try taking psyilocybin and listening...then see, or hear, or feel. Whatever happens then is what John intended.
mushrooms are a much more mind altering drug then acid, i really think the whole two virgins thing has to do with mushrooms, them being naked and all that
I think when he was younger, maybe 15 or so, he would write his own newspaper. And It was strange as well. Even the books he's written were out there.
He always needed glasses, but only started wearing them around a certain point.
He felt as though it didn't matter what he looked like, and thats sort of when all this stuff came out. He didn't believe in censoring anything. So, I would say its 'genius' or 'Disturbing' just John Lennon. xD
this is musical meltdown not genuis. another example of such follie is when the statler bros. dubbed themselves the ficticious lester roadhog moran and his cadillac cowboys. that was at least funny. this is not haha funny but funny with a ph=phunny
My house mate in college had a habit of getting high, pulling out their *other* album and saying "Hey, you wanna hear the worst album I own?". This is much worse.
It's not exactly my cup of tea as the saying goes, but it was interesting. John was an artist and this was obviously experimental. Look, when Pink Floyd did psychedelic stuff and even Radiohead to some degree everyone called it genius.
Ce n'est pas très intéressant. Du point de vue de l'image, il n'y a vraiment rien. Musicalement, on me dit qu'il s'agit de musique expérimentale, mais qu'est-ce qui est expérimenté ici ? Il s'agit plutôt d'une improvisation libre en studio, mais qui manque terriblement de matériau et de forme. Très en retrait par rapport au genre électroacoustique, qui avait quand même plus de vingt ans d'existence à l'époque !
Agreed a 100%. Just because one masturbates in their home studio, meowing over sound effects, it doesn't make art. Neither Lennon nor the scarecrow seemed to know the history of the genre; I'm sure neither had ever heard of Henry, Schaeffer, Stockhausen and the rest. An erratic, narcissitic, working-class pseudo with a huge ego, and an untalented, gold-digging scarecrow who used the former for a lucky break, as he was too daft and immature to realize it soon enough. This is pure caca.
« Pedestrian » ? I'm not sure I understand what you mean with the use of this word *giggling* *scoffing*
And yes, I knew he went to Liverpool School of Art. I know everything Beatles. I actually READ bios. I actually saw EVERY English and French language documentary on the beatles as a group and on ex-Beatles as individuals.
Now, did YOU know Lennon dropped-out, after a very mediocre stint in the said school...?
« Lennon failed all his GCE O-level examinations, and was only accepted into the Liverpool College of Art with help from his school's headmaster and Mimi. There, Lennon met his future wife, Cynthia Powell, when he was a Teddy Boy. Lennon was often disruptive in class and ridiculed his teachers, resulting in them refusing to have him as a student. Lennon failed an annual Art College exam despite help from Powell, and dropped out before his last year of college. »
In my opinion this was never intended to 'make' sense, rather, just to be 'enjoyed' - A true Lennon fan like myself, this appeals to me on a higher semi-professioanl amateur plane.
@marklennon1985 "A true Lennon fan like myself, this appeals to me on a higher semi-professioanl amateur plane." To be read as, "Pretentious cock sucker." Speaking of cock sucking, this sucks cock. It sucks Michael Barrymore's cock.
un experimento bastante raro, mas no por eso es malo. ya desde los beatles fueron los pioneros en hacer mezclas de sonidos, porq no lennon sería pionero de la música experimental?
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! AAOOOOOOHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

This reminds me of Revolution 9. It's creepy as hell, but for some reason, you want to watch it again, and again, and again... @ least I do, anyway. Nobody else seems too. xD

The music sounds like Arnold Shoenberg's elcetrified!!(?)! I wonder of John and Yoko new about Shoenberg and the 20th century neo-classical composers?
It is hard to listen to, but you have to admit it's very original!

you must be on another plane to understand. Period. Try taking psyilocybin and listening...then see, or hear, or feel. Whatever happens then is what John intended.

John Lennon always had a different mind. xD
I think when he was younger, maybe 15 or so, he would write his own newspaper. And It was strange as well. Even the books he's written were out there.
He always needed glasses, but only started wearing them around a certain point.
He felt as though it didn't matter what he looked like, and thats sort of when all this stuff came out. He didn't believe in censoring anything. So, I would say its 'genius' or 'Disturbing' just John Lennon. xD

This is the same selfishness he had during the time when he put Yoko on every other song on Double Fantasy and Sometime in New York.
Nuff said. This is crap. However, John Lennon is still a genius. Just not on this.

I can hear the abstract sounds of Revolution 9 in this, but more so, the sound of Can "Tago Mago", which was about 3 years later.

Yoko turned John into such an idiot. Then when he finally came back to be the goofy John we all knew and loved, he was killed.

It's not exactly my cup of tea as the saying goes, but it was interesting. John was an artist and this was obviously experimental. Look, when Pink Floyd did psychedelic stuff and even Radiohead to some degree everyone called it genius.

Ce n'est pas très intéressant. Du point de vue de l'image, il n'y a vraiment rien. Musicalement, on me dit qu'il s'agit de musique expérimentale, mais qu'est-ce qui est expérimenté ici ? Il s'agit plutôt d'une improvisation libre en studio, mais qui manque terriblement de matériau et de forme. Très en retrait par rapport au genre électroacoustique, qui avait quand même plus de vingt ans d'existence à l'époque !

Agreed a 100%. Just because one masturbates in their home studio, meowing over sound effects, it doesn't make art. Neither Lennon nor the scarecrow seemed to know the history of the genre; I'm sure neither had ever heard of Henry, Schaeffer, Stockhausen and the rest. An erratic, narcissitic, working-class pseudo with a huge ego, and an untalented, gold-digging scarecrow who used the former for a lucky break, as he was too daft and immature to realize it soon enough. This is pure caca.

Even IF those two even compared to the cats I named, that's just it : she used to ORGANIZE concerts for them. LOL
Forever the needy, untalented hanger-on, on the outside looking in, ridin' on coattails...
Well, she did get her lucky break in the psychologically frail Lennon. And then broke it in two... hahahahaha
McCartney was right to sing that song in NYC recently !

And people who find it normal to aggresively rant and completely jump on an anonymous person's cyber face are usually socially deficient.
Keep calling people you'll never meet « morons » if it makes you feel good and (finally) gives you a sense of worth.
It still won't make your inner pain go away.

« Pedestrian » ? I'm not sure I understand what you mean with the use of this word *giggling* *scoffing*
And yes, I knew he went to Liverpool School of Art. I know everything Beatles. I actually READ bios. I actually saw EVERY English and French language documentary on the beatles as a group and on ex-Beatles as individuals.
Now, did YOU know Lennon dropped-out, after a very mediocre stint in the said school...?
hahahahaha
Bahiaitiano 2 years ago
From wikipedia :
« Lennon failed all his GCE O-level examinations, and was only accepted into the Liverpool College of Art with help from his school's headmaster and Mimi. There, Lennon met his future wife, Cynthia Powell, when he was a Teddy Boy. Lennon was often disruptive in class and ridiculed his teachers, resulting in them refusing to have him as a student. Lennon failed an annual Art College exam despite help from Powell, and dropped out before his last year of college. »

In my opinion this was never intended to 'make' sense, rather, just to be 'enjoyed' - A true Lennon fan like myself, this appeals to me on a higher semi-professioanl amateur plane.

un experimento bastante raro, mas no por eso es malo. ya desde los beatles fueron los pioneros en hacer mezclas de sonidos, porq no lennon sería pionero de la música experimental?
