John and Paul -- Communication Breakdown (Roy Orbison)

I heard this song recently and couldn't help but think of how it fitted how John and Paul's relationship changed...some of the lyrics really hit home. Two young lads from Liverpool who had become brothers to eachother suddenly not being able to be with eachother any more.

Music by Roy Orbison.

The footage @1:00 is evidence that they were close... Paul was close to fainting, he had a nasty gastric flu which was fast becoming an intestinal infection, and the only one noticing he wasn't his usual self was John. You can see the concern in his eyes. I really do believe that even tho they became estranged, they really loved each other, they were brothers... they had grown up together. I haven't spoken to my sister in 4 years... and if she needed a kidney, I'd be the first to offer mine.

@CuteMcBeauty Yes totally, that's why I put it in, to show how they were.

I got tears in my eyes. It breaks my heart thinking about how their relationship changed through years, they were such close friends, just like brothers and in the end they didn't even talk to each other ç_ç

So sad..but thank you for this amazing video!

It is very sad.. I did read that they patched things up in the seventies, but how close they were when John died I don't know :/

Thank you for watching it!

Thought this'd be to John and Paul's mid-70s recording of Zeppelins "Communication Breakdown".

They were more like family than friends. You can fight and rag on each other,get mad, say stuff, be honest and still love each other profoundly...that was how it was I think.

perfect song, perfect pics.. well done!!!!!!!!!! I really like this. I still beleive that they would have all ended up being friends again. There was too much love for them not too. Maturity would have kicked in and old hurts healed. I guess we will never know for sure. They made my world so much better just by being in it and sharing themselves with us. My bright light in my life. Yes I am a baby boomer. Loved them all.

I'm sure they were just fine before John's death. John had actually pondered a collaboration, but had his own thing to do at the time and sadly murdered before they could. They went out for dinner together. They did not hang out everyday of course, but they still admired eachothers talent and cared for eachother.

really good video about the most wonderful friendship

[JellyProductionsN]

lol thought this was zeppelin

[VinnasBR]

I think they had mutual respect and needed each other's musical ytalents. Was not for the music, maybe they could never be any type of 'friends' actually
