[QUOTE=Dam;21616552]Due to me being an insufferable bastard that hates everybody who disagrees with the statement "The Beatles are the best band ever" I have decided to do my best prove all of them wrong. The Beatles is the best band ever. The Beatles is not my favourite band, Earth is. Just because your favourite band is Coldplay or something doesn't change the FACT that the Beatles is/was the BEST band ever.[/QUOTE] You are a smart man.
[QUOTE=tasty-man;21515648]No they have not all been done before[/QUOTE] I haven't heard a new genre for a matter of years now.
is it weird that I like The Beatles even though I'm a metalhead
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;21646164]is it weird that I like The Beatles even though I'm a metalhead[/QUOTE] No, everyone can find a Beatles song that they love. That's what makes them such a great band.
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0714IbwC3HA[/url] <3 :) I miss Beatles, especially Lenon.. He didnt hafto die :( Edit: I am a "Metalhead" aswell, but most Metalheads listen to Heavy Metal/Screamo or whatever and Classic rock, and you usally find people listening to Rap listens to Pop.

[QUOTE=TheBrokenHobo;21671230]And the people that do talk shit about them are usually :bandwagon: who think it's hip and rebellious to not like a band that everyone like when they've never even heard them.[/QUOTE] I used to be one of those. Used to say 'blah blah THe Beatles are overrated' when I'd never actually listened to them. Damn I was a prick.

Just been browsing youtube, and found this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NucCOZ_SQ_8[/media] It's really weird how much he looks like John.
[B]Paul McCartney's Last Song[/B] It was 1968. Paul McCartney was hanging out in the late evening, vain as he was, seeing if he could pick up chicks if he wasn't a Beatle. Stood in a long coat, sunglasses, and a Trilby - in that short time between when it didn't mean you were posh and it didn't mean you were a wanker - a miniature cloud escaped his lips as he sighed. Maybe he should try a new look - yeah that was it, he needed something to make him stand out. Maybe a James Dean thing, Rebel Without a Cause. Slicked hair, smoking a cigarette. Yeah, that'd do it. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a lighter. This'd work. Well, maybe if he wasn't at a petrol station. The flames moved quickly. It wasn't so much an explosion as an expansion. When the big tanks of petrol erupted the stone awning collapsed on Paul - as he fell he cut his stomach open on his car, spilling his intestines over the dashboard and steering wheel. His head was smashed by falling rubble. His wallet melted. His skin charred. Even the tobacco and cannabis residue between his teeth caught fire. Luckily, Paul was the only one caught up in it. But that was still one too many. Paul McCartney was dead. While Paul's body couldn't be identified, John knew what he did every Saturday - he knew it was him. He acted quickly. The Beatles were his dream, and he didn't want to let go of it yet. He called in a favour from an old friend of his, the bastard son of an immigrant dock worker back in Liverpool: Guglielmo Shears. The guy had talent, and with the help of hair dye, looked a fair bit like the late Paul. John was happy with the results, and George... George went along with it, if only to placate John and his temper. Ringo wasn't aware of any of this; he had walked out a few days beforehand. Everything worked well, for a while, but Guglielmo got nervous. He wasn't too pleased with the arrangement, but it was a [I]big[/I] favour he owed. Eventually, however, the pressure got too much for him. Even John had found a new hobby: imagining Yoko Ono was his mother. He persuaded him not to come out with it immediately. Instead, he said, Shears should just wait for their last album (which, at this point, everyone knew would be soon) and include a message on the cover of the last album. The problem then was making sure the printers didn't reveal anything before the album was released. It was George, in the end, who came up with the solution: stage a mock funeral in the picture. John would be the vicar, Ringo the unknowing undertaker, George the gravedigger, and Guglielmo would represent the corpse of Paul, going barefoot, as corpses are buried in his father's native Italy. As it turned out, [I]Abbey Road[/I] would be the penultimate Beatles album, and perhaps that's why the rumour was eventually poo-pooed. John took the secret to his grave. Guglielmo's family(s) persuaded him to keep the secret, while George just sorta kept on trucking and kept on shtumming. Ringo remains oblivious to the whole affair to this day. Of course, everyone knows that story. But what [I]isn't[/I] widely known is that in the weeks before the recording of the White Album, that particular petrol station was subject to many attempted thefts. In an effort to gather evidence and discourage potential criminals, the owners of the station installed special cameras that used CCTV, a technology that had been stolen from the Nazis just twenty-five years beforehand. That meant that that petrol station was the first place in the United Kingdom to have a CCTV system installed. Due to its novelty, the cameras and their footage were not found during the investigation of the fire, and were presumed lost. A very persistent John Lennon, however, managed to locate the tapes of that night and buy them off the station's manager - keeping him in business after the accident. John kept that tape until he died, and planned to have it buried with him, but Yoko Ono (the stupid cow) decided that she should keep it. In 2007, she left it on a train as she got off Loughborough station. The next occupant of her seat was one Sergio Pizzorno, suffering from writer's block and struggling to come up with song material...
Thats the worst conspiracy ive ever heard
It's a story. [editline]10:12PM[/editline] The Terminator is fucking retarded no lie
[QUOTE=lazyguy;21720856] The Terminator is fucking retarded no lie[/QUOTE] oi! You may actually die for saying that :D
My fav band. :)
It sucks balls that when most people think of The Beatles they think of 'Yellow Submarine', 'Twist and Shout', and 'All You Need Is Love'.
I think those are actually a fair three tracks for people that aren't into them to associate with them. If you had just said Yellow Submarine, I'd have had to agree.
I do reckon Twist and Shout does give them knowledge of their classic rock, but still, nobody knows about the psychedelic side of things, or even the bluesy rock that came after.
Yeah. Also, this thread seems to have been dying as of late.
I know, it makes me sad. We need more people in this thread.
Almost everything about The Beatles has already been discussed. This thread's pretty much dead.
for about a year ago the only band i liked was METALLICA (still love them) then my big sister showed me beatles and, man its good i realized that rock, isnt the only good music ps. my fav. beatles song is strawberry fiels lol this is my longest post ever XD
Funfact: the guy in my avatar is actually from the picture of The Beatles after getting off the plane in America - he's one of the guys in the background. [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/The_Beatles_in_America.JPG/800px-The_Beatles_in_America.JPG[/IMG] Just noticed him while looking at a high res version, and thought it'd make a good avatar.
That cop on the right looks pretty smug.
[QUOTE=Scarbo;21799503]That cop on the right looks pretty smug.[/QUOTE] He's a time cop he just saved the Beatles from Napoleon.
