It's Beatlemania!

"Girls and boys stood together, standing, screaming, moaning, groaning, ripping at their hair, pushing, shoving, falling on the floor and crying, real tears streaming down hundreds and hundreds of faces, smearing their mascara and lipstick. For the first time, I started wondering whether these kids were in some state of trance. What was making them go? When Paul sang I Saw Her Standing There a girl would look at the stage and stare at Paul, her eyes fixed, no blinking in order to make it appear that he was singing to her. I saw YOU standing there."- Larry Kane

"They became emotionally, mentally and sexually excited. They foamed at the mouth, burst into tears, hurled themselves like lemmings in the direction of the Beatles, or simply fainted". Hunter Davis

John, Paul, George and Ringo were "the boys nextdoor" but they made a huge impact on the world with their music. They were the first british act ever to invade America in 1964. By then they had reigned Japan, Europe, Australia and the USA. They were the most famous and recognisable faces in the world.

"We'd compare dreams at school. Tell each other what we did with our favourite Beatle. The dreams were absolutley beautiful. We did a lot of things together, John and I. He made love to me and I'd tell my friends the next day. John was the most important person in my life. When nothing else in the world was good, I'd go to my room and have the Beatles." - Sandi Steward, (american fan)

"my career has taken me to scenes of racial rioting and student revolt. But there was something different on Beatles tours. I have never before or since witnessed the degree of ardor, zeal and delight that I saw in all those cities. The Beatles, on balance, were a happy story in an unhappy decade" Larry Kane

The Beatles were relieving a sexual urge. Doctors later came forward to say that girls had had orgasms during Beatles concerts. - Hunter Davis


"The first of a long list of girls said to me Ive got to meet Paul. I love him. I need him, and he needs me. Such was the rapture of the always desiring, absolutely obsessed, and daringly frank phenomenon known as a Beatles fan. Each one eminently convinced that theirs was a true bond to the suave, debonair Paul; the gutsy, outspoken John; the mysterious Ringo; and of course George, the boy with that eternally just-past-puberty face." - Larry Kane

It would be better without the military marching music. Just the screams and/or Beatles music would be better.

[msradx]

Most of it is silent footage, so I couldn't do that. I originally had better music but YouTube removed it!! X(

@InmateW1570B Yeah, I heard something similar about George.He joked, "A thousand women was a slight exaggeration." But then I guess it would be hard to keep count...But I see it as Brian Epstein's genius. Brian Epstein wasn't selling their music, as a gay man he knew he had four hot, bad boys that he cleaned up and made pretty for the girls. And it worked

[InmateW1570B]

@9090you:Bro Paul slept with over 700 girls in the span of like 3 years.

[MariaKelsey]

People need to quit comparing JB to The Beatles. Who cares who's better!! There were people who hated the Beatles also! Some hated their guts! Now get over the fact that music is always changing!!!! The Beatles laid down the foundation to modern music, so yeah, they'll always be "better" but still.

@kht777

Well, in those times and later on Elvis' hip thrusting etc was too erotic for the media, so they shot him from the belt and up....

So not surprised ;)
