The Beatles were no fucking boy band, Chris Kirkpatrick!!!

[kva1978]

They're not a boy band..Boy bands dont play fucking instruments and write their own songs.Its a shame to compare them to boy bands..The Beatles is a rock band--end of discussion.

Brian Epstein is the one to thank for the cool early look. He created the image clothing wise and Astrid and Klaus created the hair.

ACtualy The Beatles WERE a boy band (especialy early 60's). The greatest one of all time...

And a rock band, one of the greatest of all time

and amazing composers, some of the best of all time

etc etc etc.

That;s the amazing thing about The Beatles: they were so many things at the abolute highest level

@soundofmusic65 A lot of men who were born 10, 20, and even 40 years or more before Lennon, McCartney etc. and who didn't like the Beatles (or rock music in general) and who didn't like their long hair styles; were suddenly sporting side-burns, facial hair, and longer hair styles; starting in the late 60's to early 70's. So you know they were influenced by that youth culture, even though a lot of them would not admit it.

Thanks for posting this, have never seen it before; and it was entertaining. Why do I always find the viewpoints of pop and rock fans (and critics) from the 60's and 70's, shot in certain styles of black and white or color; always more interesting and entertaining than cheesy and boring celebrities, filmed in the present day with modern technology?

Damn, I miss the combination of John & Paul's vocals together!!!

@mussman717word "Amen to that" is the only thing I can think to say right now!!!!!!!!!!
