[QUOTE] [IMG]http://assets.rollingstone.com/assets/images/story/new-beatles-collection-tomorrow-never-knows-hits-itunes-20120724/1000x600/main.jpg[/IMG] A new Beatles compilation titled [I]Tomorrow Never Knows[/I] is being released exclusively on iTunes today. The set contains 14 of the Fab Four's "most powerful rock songs," from "Paperback Writer" and "Back in the USSR" to "It's All Too Much" and "Savoy Truffle." A promo film for the track "Hey Bulldog" will also be available to stream for free or download.To mark the release, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl penned a note that will be posted with the set on iTunes. In it, he writes about the impact that the Beatles have had on him throughout his life, especially with the track "Hey Bulldog." You can read the note in its entirety below: [I]If it weren't for The Beatles, I would not be a musician. It’s as simple as that. From a very young age I became fascinated with their songs, and over the years have drowned myself in the depth of their catalogue. Their groove and their swagger. Their grace and their beauty. Their dark and their light. The Beatles seemed to be capable of anything. They knew no boundaries, and in that freedom they seemed to define what we now know today as 'Rock and Roll.'[/I] [I] "Recently I showed my 6-year-old daughter, Violet, the brilliant Yellow Submarine movie. It was her introduction to The Beatles, and she instantly shared the same fascination I felt when I was her age discovering The Beatles for the first time. She wanted to know their names, which instruments they played, who sang what song, etc etc etc....it made me so incredibly happy (and proud!). Within days she knew the verses and choruses to every song on the album. But, there was one song that stood out for her....[/I] [I] '"Hey Bulldog" is not one of The Beatles’ greatest hits. It's what most people would consider a 'deep cut.' But it is a quintessential Beatles rocker. The rolling bass line, the trademark Ringo drum fills, the gritty distorted guitar, and that sound that only the back of Lennon's throat could produce. It stomps. It grooves. It makes your head bob. It makes your hips shake. When Lennon sings, 'If you're lonely you can talk to me!' it soothes your heart, like you've finally found something to believe in. It's so raw and real. It is 100% timeless Rock and Roll...[/I] [I]From one generation to the next, The Beatles will remain the most important rock band of all time.[/I] [I] Just ask Violet.[/I] Read more: [URL]http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/new-beatles-collection-tomorrow-never-knows-hits-itunes-20120724#ixzz21YTKIvBH[/URL][/QUOTE]

why the hell is the beatles' work so bloody hard to get ahold of?

[QUOTE=Drsalvador;36914490]why the hell is the beatles' work so bloody hard to get ahold of?[/QUOTE] Maybe Paul and Ringo arent too happy about sharing their music online when neither John or George are still alive, I'm really not sure to be honest.

sooo.. this is just a re-pack? there are no songs that are actually new? If that is the case then I don't see a point in releasing this? Could someone enlighten me?

[QUOTE=The Saiko;36915345]sooo.. this is just a re-pack? there are no songs that are actually new? If that is the case then I don't see a point in releasing this? Could someone enlighten me?[/QUOTE] It's a bit hard to make new songs with half of the people dead.

Are these never before heard songs? If not, then what's the deal? Why is rehashed stuff being hyped up so much?

It's not being hyped anyway?

[QUOTE=zugu;36915390]Are these never before heard songs? If not, then what's the deal? Why is rehashed stuff being hyped up so much?[/QUOTE] Because Beatles

I don't use iTunes, but maybe these songs werent added until this pack arrived.

Not even a single dubstep remix, not wasting my money on this

[QUOTE=Drsalvador;36914490]why the hell is the beatles' work so bloody hard to get ahold of?[/QUOTE] apple basically owns their music

I must be the only person in the world who gives such a little fuck about the beatles.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;36915683]apple basically owns their music[/QUOTE] uh you know the apple that owns their music is completely different from the apple that owns itunes, right?

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;36915683]apple basically owns their music[/QUOTE] hilarious

All these songs should be free after such a long period of time.

[QUOTE=WeekendWarrior;36915782]Uh that's not how big business works.[/QUOTE] But that's how it should.

[QUOTE=Kljunas;36915837]But that's how it should.[/QUOTE] A business plan where you give away your products after a set period of time wouldn't sit well with company executives. This is a capitalist system remember, they want to make profit and not lose money.

The only problem is this period is absurdly long.

You'd make it absurdly short.

I believe he's referring to this. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk862BbjWx4[/media]

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;36915683]apple basically owns their music[/QUOTE] wow that post alone sells you are as informed as a carrier bag is of the cuban missile crisis

If John was alive, seeing the demand for Beatles music online, he'd say "We're more popular than LOLcats now."

I really don't understand why people like the Beatles.

I like them, sure, but I'm not that big a fan.

I very much love the Beatles. Put Abbey Road in, or Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Play the album start to finish and tell me you don't like it.

[QUOTE=Ardosos;36917578]I really don't understand why people like the Beatles.[/QUOTE] They pretty much revolutionized music in a way nobody had done before them: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pM3PVzDUCY[/media] Also because they were a bunch of awesome guys, all four of them: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8rG3r0DIs8&feature=related[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkneYSOs-b8[/media]
