The Official Beatles Thread

[Drizzle]

I posted this in the Misc. Films board in the thread "What biopic would you like to see?" I'd like to hear the opinions of Beatles fans like myself. What would you think of a Beatles biopic?

I would love to see a Beatles biopic. Maybe have some of the same cast as the Lennon biopic "Nowhere Boy" that came out recently.

Aaron Johnson as John Lennon (reprising the role from "Nowhere Boy")

Matthew Lewis as Ringo Starr (aka Neville from "Harry Potter"...a little bit out there but he has the same kind of awkward look that Ringo has)

Michael Sheen as Brian Epstein, the group's manager

Paul Bettany as George Martin, the group's record producer

Carey Mulligan as Cynthia Lennon (the movie could use a female lead...why not John's wife?)

Don't know who would play Yoko. The principles should all be played by actors in their early 20s so they can play the roles during the entire span of the band's career from 1960-1970 and then some.

[Mr.Webs]

Not bad. I like it.:up:

Has anyone here seen Nowhere Boy yet? It looked fantastic.

[CashforStash]

Aha, The Beatles are the best. I am surprised I haven't found this thread before.

Well i am an avid Beatles collector, and on Aug 9th i saw Paul live at the Air Canada Center.

Best. Show. Ever.

[Kurosawa]

Awesome. To see either Paul or Ringo (or both) live is on my "things to do" list.

[Frodo]

There have actually been a few Beatles biopics , but they very in terms of quality. Most of them either cover the Beatles early years or they focus on John Lennon. Imo, Backbeat and Nowhere Boy are probably the best.

Birth of the Beatles
John and Yoko a Love Story
Backbeat
In his Life the John Lennon Story
The Linda McCartney story
Nowhere Boy

[Kurosawa]

I think a well done dramatic comedy about Ringo's life would make a fun movie, providing it didn't get too sappy. Which if you include some scenes about his drinking issues it wouldn't be.

[Sawyer]

I need to get A Hard Day's Night on DVD.

[Catman]

I got a question for my fellow Beatles fans. You know how George Martin regretted not including Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane in Sgt. Pepper? Well, what are some Beatles singles that should have been part of albums? Here are my thoughts: Day Tripper and We Can Work It Out in Rubber Soul. Paperback Writer and Rain in Revolver. I also thought about Hey Jude and Lady Madonna in White Album, but that double-album was already pretty packed.

Yeah, I saw Backbeat at the pics when it came out, rock bios are great in the cinema.
There was also a short John Lennon/Brian Epstein film made with the same guy who played Lennon in Backbeat, I'm having a brain fart right now and can't reclal his name.

Your post reminded me that I recorded that John Lennon tv bio movie that starred Chris Eccelstone as Lennon, I'll have to dig that videotape out.

[Firm18]

Beatles >
Best band ever.

[Drizzle]

I need to get A Hard Day's Night on DVD.
I need all the Beatles movies on DVD. Nay, Blu-ray. Especially "Yellow Submarine" since that one's out of print.

I got a question for my fellow Beatles fans. You know how George Martin regretted not including Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane in Sgt. Pepper? Well, what are some Beatles singles that should have been part of albums? Here are my thoughts: Day Tripper and We Can Work It Out in Rubber Soul. Paperback Writer and Rain in Revolver. I also thought about Hey Jude and Lady Madonna in White Album, but that double-album was already pretty packed.
You know the reason why they weren't included on Sgt. Pepper? Because England had laws back then that singles couldn't be released on LPs later on. Personally I don't think many would have minded buying "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever" again.

Anyway, yeah, I would make a few changes to a few of their albums.

Rubber Soul: I agree with you. I'd put "We Can Work it Out" on the album.

Revolver: "Rain" sounds like it could fit perfectly with that album, so yeah.

Sgt. Pepper: "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" could've been added to the album

The White Album: Instead of that infamous waste of song "Revolution 9", I'd put "Hey Jude" in its place. "Lady Madonna" could replace the ear splitting "Wild Honey Pie". I'd like to include "Revolution", but I'm also really fond of "Revolution 1" and I don't see how both of those could co-exist on the same album since they're essentially the same song.

Now here's my question to you all: As the largest Beatles album, The White Album has a ton of tracks. Some of which are forgotten about. Which ones from that album would you say are underrated? At the moment, I'd say that "I'm So Tired" is an underrated gem.

I think the Beatles are the only band that could have ever gotten away with "Revolution 9".

Underrated songs on the White Album: "I'm So Tired" , 100% agree, "Savoy Truffle", LOVE that song, "I Will", one of Paul's prettiest tunes, and although I don't know if it's considered underrated or not, I think "Good Night" is just beautiful and they made the right decision giving it to Ringo to sing. His vocal makes it seem so sincere and comforting when it could have been really sappy. Great way to finish the most eclectic Beatles album.

[Catman]

I guess that law must have ended when Abbey Road and Let It Be were released.

Martha, My Dear is ridiculously addictive.

[Drizzle]

I agree. One of the reasons why I love "The White Album" so much is because there's just so many different genres of music squeezed into one album. I mean, you've got gritty rock that could be seen as the origin of metal with "Helter Skelter", then a few songs later you get an old fashioned ragtime song with "Honey Pie". Also one of the reasons why I love "The White Album" is because George Harrison's got quite a few good songs on there. I mean, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is legendary, but I think that these are gems too:

Yeah, but the album is also very random because of it. They should have organized the songs better. This is how I would have done it (and how it's on my MP3 playlist):

1. Back in the U.S.S.R.
2. Birthday
3. Glass Onion
4. Savoy Truffle
5. Revolution 1
6. Wild Honey Pie
7. Piggies
8. Rocky Raccoon
9. The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill
10. Don't Pass Me By
11. Honey Pie
12. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
13. Martha My Dear
14. I Will
15. Julia
16. Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey
17. Yer Blues
18. Why Don't We Do It in the Road?
19. Helter Skelter
20. I'm So Tired
21. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
22. Sexy Sadie
23. Dear Prudence
24. Happiness Is a Warm Gun
25. Cry Baby Cry
26. Long, Long, Long
27. Mother Nature's Son
28. Blackbird
29. Good Night
30. Revolution 9

I love how half way through Jack Black's accent turns scottish :D

[Catman]

Last night I was watching a documentary called, "Writing the Beatles Songbook" which John Lennon fans hate since it gives most of the credit to Paul McCartney but they brought up something that's kind of true. Abbey Road is almost a McCartney-Harrison album. By that point Lennon was pretty much done with The Beatles. Lennon even said in interviews that spiritually he had left the band as far back as The White Album. He was no longer interested in "hanging with the boys." I think he said that in his 1980 Playboy interview. So, he didn't really contribute much to the album. Come Together was a song he wrote for a political candidate to use during his campaign. I Want You (She's So Heavy) was written during the Get Back/Let It Be sessions. Because is a John-Yoko song that just ended up there...kinda like Revolution 9 in The White Album. And, The Medley was just a bunch of old and unfinished songs that McCartney and George Martin put together as a suite. Some of those songs went as far back as their infamous trip to India. So, really, the only song that Lennon wrote specifically for Abbey Road was Sun King. I guess you can argue Because, but still, that's only two songs. Meanwhile, McCartney pretty much wrote the bulk of the album and George Harrison wrote two (Something and Here Comes the Sun) and helped Ringo complete Octopus' Garden. Now, granted, some of those songs also show up in the Get Back/Let It Be sessions but Something was the only one recorded during that period since it was released as a single alongside Come Together.

[Mr.Webs]

Yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense. And as a fan that has always veered more towards Lennon, it still doesn't take anything away from the album.

[Catman]

it still doesn't take anything away from the album.

Abbey Road is a great album. It's my favorite from The Beatles. But it's definitely the one album where McCartney deserved the most credit and where Harrison really stepped up to the plate.

[Mr.Webs]

Very much agreed.

[Motown Marvel]

I <3 George.

I also thought about Hey Jude and Lady Madonna in White Album, but that double-album was already pretty packed.
Going back to this for a second, I would also take "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" off of Abbey Road and put it on Let It Be. To replace that, I'd put "Across the Universe" on Abbey Road. To me, "I Want You" always seemed like it would fit better on Let It Be.

No way, man. Phil Spector would have messed up the song.

[Drizzle]

No way, man. Phil Spector would have messed up the song.
Phil Spector didn't mess with all the songs on Let it Be, did he? Or am I just thinking of the three or four that were recorded during the rooftop concert? I thought he only did his wall of sound stuff with "Across the Universe", "I Me Mine", "The Long and Winding Road" and "Let it Be"?

[Catman]

Phil Spector didn't mess with all the songs on Let it Be, did he?

He produced the entire album.

[The Batman]

Regarding let It Be:

1. Don't Let Me Down should've been on the album. I find it quite dumb that it was left off, actually.

2. I would've put the longer version of "Dig It" on there...

[Drizzle]

I actually forgot that "Don't Let Me Down" wasn't on the album since I put it with the rest of the "Let it Be" songs on my iPod.
He produced the entire album.
Yes, but he didn't interfere with all of the songs with his "wall of sound". He only did that with "Let it Be", "Across the Universe", "Dig A Pony" and "The Long and Winding Road".

[Catman]

George Martin > Phil Spector

[Mr.Webs]

George Martin > Phil Spector Quoted for truth.

[Catman]

What a major difference:

pAanePEPDHQ

[Drizzle]

Sure it sounds better, but I like the banter at the beginning of "Get Back" on Let it Be.

George Martin > Phil Spector
That's like saying Steven Spielberg > Michael Bay.

[Evan Henry]

Regarding let It Be:

1. Don't Let Me Down should've been on the album. I find it quite dumb that it was left off, actually.

2. I would've put the longer version of "Dig It" on there...
Ditto on both of those.

[Catman]

Speaking of Let It Be, I was listening to Let It Be...Naked and they butchered some songs on there as well. The guitar solo on Let It Be is just wrong. The single version is still the best. George Martin FTW.

[Catman]

Rubber Soul has really grown on me. I was never too fanatical about the Beatles' pre-1967 stuff, except for a few things, but I'm really loving the Folk Rock stuff.

[Crockett]

I don't tend to listen to their early albums pre-'65 that much but right now but for reasons I don't really know I'm listening to Beatles for Sale more now. Particularly the tracks "Every Little Thing" and "What You're Doing".

[Motown Marvel]

i've almost been appreciating their early stuff more than their latter stuff lately. i've acquired such an appreciation for the beauty of a simple two minute pop song, especially ones that are as entirely effective and memorable as the beatles produced. to create such songs are surprisingly difficult. but something like "she loves you" and "i wanna hold your hand" are so wonderfully perfect.

[Drizzle]

"Revolver" is their greatest masterpiece pre-1967.

[Mr.Webs]

As much as I love Revolver, I think Hard Day's Night would take that title. I think I've said this all before, but the songcraft on that album was just so way before their time. There wasn't any sitars or crazy production from George Martin or pot induced Dylan-esque lyrics....it was just John and Paul working as feverishly as possible to put together the best album they could.

Awesome stuff.

[Catman]

I also prefer Hard Day's Night and Rubber Soul over Revolver. Revolver is possibly their most overrated album.

[The Batman]

Absolutely agree about "She Loves You". That song is earcrack.

And "A Hard Day's Night" is a perfect pop album.

"No Reply" FTW.

[Mr.Webs]

Stalking FTW.:o

[Catman]

And "A Hard Day's Night" is a perfect pop album.

I wouldn't say perfect. The non-soundtrack related songs were less than stellar.

[Drizzle]

Personally, I think "Help" was a better album than "A Hard Day's Night". All the songs from the movie are great, plus you've got the added bonus of "Yesterday".

[Motown Marvel]

"Revolver" is their greatest masterpiece pre-1967.

Revolver is their greatest masterpiece....period!

[Catman]

Revolver is their greatest masterpiece....period!

Sgt. Pepper was better. Magical Mystery Tour (the US version) was better. The White Album was better. Abbey Round was better.

[Mr.Webs]

I wouldn't say perfect. The non-soundtrack related songs were less than stellar. Really? 'Things We Said Today' is a masterpiece, a song that sounds like it's been written by a much older, more mature man than Paul's age. And then 'You Can't Do That', which was the first true John song to show off that angry edge that we would see more and more often towards the end of the decade and the beginning of the seventies.

I love every cut off that album.

And 'Help' is truly fantastic, but the two covers I was never very fond of.:o I mean, John kills 'Dizzy Miss Lizzie' and Ringo is, well....he's himself on Buck Owen's 'Act Naturally', but they are still covers all the same.

[Catman]

They pale in comparison to soundtrack songs.

[Mr.Webs]

Take them over 'Can't Buy Me Love' anyday.:o

[Motown Marvel]

Sgt. Pepper was better. Magical Mystery Tour (the US version) was better. The White Album was better. Abbey Round was better.

such dirty dirty lies! no wonder your parents dont love you!

[Mister Sinister]

The Beatles hits iTunes today!

[squeekness]

Makes ya wonder why it took them so darn long. :p

[Drizzle]

Way too late. Anyone who wanted The Beatles on their iPod has got them on there already. Still, it's nice to finally see them on there.

[Catman]

Are they offering individual songs or just the albums? If it's just the albums, then yeah, it's too late. But I wouldn't mind downloading some songs from their less than stellar albums that most people don't buy. Twist & Shout is one that quickly comes to mind.

[Crockett]

Well is nice for people who prefer digital music that they can finally buy The Beatles songs online.

Are they offering individual songs or just the albums? If it's just the albums, then yeah, it's too late. But I wouldn't mind downloading some songs from their less than stellar albums that most people don't buy. Twist & Shout is one that quickly comes to mind.

Yes you can buy individual songs from the albums. I've been thinking to buy Magical Mystery Tour, especially since I can't seem to find my copy anywhere.

[Catman]

Yes you can buy individual songs from the albums. I've been thinking to buy Magical Mystery Tour, especially since I can't seem to find my copy anywhere.

Awesome.

[Catman]

Even though the Beatles are on iTunes now, people are still buying the CDs. Amazon was selling the Red and Blue albums for $10 each and they sold out. I was lucky to get a copy of the Blue Album before it was too late.

[Sgt.Pepper]

I loved The Beatles. :hrt:
Every album from them is great. Obviously my favorite is Sgt.Peppers even though I liked all their album. :yay:

[Raiden]

I think the availability of the Beatles on iTunes probably introduce more people to their music, which explains why the spike of sales of their other albums on Amazon.

[Crockett]

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/beatles-cross-5-million-songs-72002
The Beatles have sold more than 5 million songs since making their November 16 iTunes debut, says a spokesman for the online retailer. In that time, the legendary group has also moved more than a million full-length albums.

The most popular song download? "Here Comes the Sun," from 1969's Abbey Road, which is the band's top-selling album on iTunes.

Pretty cool.

[Motown Marvel]

its very cool that here comes the sun is the most popular download, but its also surprising.

[Catman]

its very cool that here comes the sun is the most popular download, but its also surprising.

Yes, very surprising. Although, I'm not surprised by Abbey Road. It's arguably their best album and also has the best stereo mixing. And that's a big deal for anyone who listens to music with headphones. Atleast 70% of their songs are awful to listen to on headphones because of how bad the stereo mixing is. The Sgt. Pepper album, in particular, is completely un-listenable. THANKFULLY, there's the 1999 re-release of the Yellow Submarine soundtrack which re-mixed all the songs. Through there, I got Sgt. Pepper, With a Little Help From My Friends, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, and When I'm Sixty Four. And, through LOVE, the soundtrack for the Cirque de Solei show, I got A Day in the Life and the Sgt. Pepper Reprise.

[Motown Marvel]

thats why i got the mono remasters! those earlier albums were recorded to be mixed in mono, they sound best that way.

[flash13]

Anyone see Paul McCartney in concert last year? I saw him in Nashville in June and he was so good! I can't wait for him to come back!

[newwaveboy87]

George Martin > Phil Spector
When it comes to producing the Beatles? Yes. In general, no.
Spector's legacy and contributions to music are astounding. Track down the Back to Mono boxset and give it a whirl. It's the greatest pop music ever recorded. Each song is a marvel and minor symphony in two to three minutes.
Revolver is their greatest masterpiece....period!
You know, the more I listen to Revolver, the more and more that I love it. "Tomorrow Never Knows" :up:

[flash13]

For me it's always been a tie between Revolver and Rubber Soul

[newwaveboy87]

What about With the Beatles? or Magical Mystery Tour?
Sgt. Pepper's was my favorite for years, but like I said earlier... the more I listen to Revolver, the deeper and more artistic and interesting that album gets for me.

[Mr.Webs]

With The Beatles has always beenmy least favorite. They had some sick covers with Please Mister Postman and You Really Got A Hold On Me, and then obviously there is Paul's sweet as honey All My Loving and John's old fashioned gut rock It Won't Be Long, but other than that couple, there wasn't much there for me.:o

Magical Mystery Tour on the other hand is an underappreciated psychedelic masterpiece.:up:

[newwaveboy87]

With the Beatles is in my Top 5 favorite Beatles albums :cmad:

[flash13]

With the Beatles is great. My favorite songs from it are Money (That's What I Want) and It Won't Be Long

[Mr.Webs]

With the Beatles is in my Top 5 favorite Beatles albums :cmad: Well you are a butt head!:cmad:

:woot:

[newwaveboy87]

That's not what your dad said last night

:oldrazz:

[Catman]

Rubber Soul and Revolver have grown on me. I used to dismiss them as too soft, but they are indeed artistic masterpieces. Lyrically, those were their two best albums. Musically, the 1967-69 era is still the best.

[Parker Wayne]

You know, the more I listen to Revolver, the more and more that I love it. "Tomorrow Never Knows" :up:

There are many songs I love from Revolver. That, Good Day Sunshine, Dr. Robert, For No One, and Yellow Submarine. I'm sure there are others that I like that I didn't mention

What about With the Beatles? or Magical Mystery Tour?
Sgt. Pepper's was my favorite for years, but like I said earlier... the more I listen to Revolver, the deeper and more artistic and interesting that album gets for me.
I think I love Revolver and Rubber Soul most. I love Sgt. Peppers, but I love it more when I add some of the songs that were in Magical Mystery Tour like Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, I am The Walrus, Baby You're a Rich Man and Hello Goodbye.

The first video is an ad for The Beatles: Rock Band and yes, it's awesome. :yay:

[Venomfan]

did Lennon make up with the other guys before he died?

[Parker Wayne]

I heard he talked and hung out with McCartney a few times before he died, so I guess so.

[Mr.Webs]

Yeah, the saddest part was that it seemed Lennon was finally finding himself, becoming the man he really wanted to be, and then he was cut down.

[danoyse]

I heard he talked and hung out with McCartney a few times before he died, so I guess so.

Paul actually wrote a song for John after he died:

yY09Wa7z_38

[The Batman]

Lennon and Harrison had a bit of a falling out over the fact that Harrison barely mentioned Lennon in his autobiography. Lennon was mad cause he felt he had a big impact on Harrison's life, which he did, to be honest.

As for Ringo...everyone likes Ringo, and Ringo didnt seem to have a problem with the other beatles...even when george admitted to being in love with his wife maureen

[Mr.Webs]

Yeah, and Ringo was surprisingly cool with it.:dry:

I can just imagine him finding out, shrugging his shoulders and going, "Well, peace and love, you know. He loved a piece of my wife, so what?"

[The Batman]

I feel like the beatles had a "whatever" attitude regarding their first wives/girlfriends.

George didnt really seem to mind that his best friend Clapton was trying to diddle pattie, John just cheated on Cynthia constantly (and interestingly...never really wrote a song about her either), and Paul was a notorious hound while he was dating Jane Asher.

But yeah, if i were Ringo, I would've decked George in the face at least once. Its one thing to have your wife cheat on you...but with another beatle?

[Motown Marvel]

did Lennon make up with the other guys before he died?

im pretty sure everyone was cool with everyone by that point.

[Szetsilya]

The Beatles seem to do better with foreigners than with British wives.

[Drizzle]

The Beatles seem to do better with foreigners than with British wives.
Haha, yeah that's true. Every time one of them has had a British wife, it's ended in divorce.

[redmarvel]

Last week my 8 year old son and my husband watched Yellow Submarine (the movie) for the first time. My son loved it (and goes around singing "We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine" over and over - unfortunately just the 1 line over and over...) My husband thought it was just too strange.

[Motown Marvel]

i love yellow submarine. its insanely imaginative. im not surprised kids love it.

[Spiritinthesky]

Still listen to them now. I love Abbey Road, I grew up with that album.

[mongoose-mania]

I've recently gotten into a big Beatles kick and have been re-visiting their entire catalog. I've been listening to them since high school, but I'm starting to love them a lot more, and am working on buying up all their original albums. I just bought the remastered versions of Sgt. Pepper's and Past Masters and they sound great.
