The first one is awesome! Where did that video come from originally? Was it just unreleased before Beatles rock band?

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

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

 

[Venomfan]

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

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

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.

Paul actually wrote a song for John after he died:

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.

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.

 

[MydnightPhoenix]

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.

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.

50 years ago today, these 4 guys from England went on the Ed Sullivan show and changed the landscape of music forever.

 

[The Batman]

^ A fact that I think is lost on a lot of people today

 

[danoyse]

50 years ago today, these 4 guys from England went on the Ed Sullivan show and changed the landscape of music forever.

I took this yesterday - it's the Ed Sullivan Theater (now home to the Late Show With David Letterman) with the marquee recreated to look like the marquee in 1964:

 

[danoyse]

And this is my mom's. It's a picture taken of the TV screen the night The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan.

The father of one of her friends at school was a photographer, and he took a bunch of pictures of the screen that night. The kid sold them at school afterwards for $2 apiece.

 

[Motown Marvel]

83% of TV's in the country were tuned into the program. that's insane!

you could very easily cut the history of music into two parts: before february 9, 1964 and after february 9, 1964.

 

[Drizzle]

It was 50 years ago today that Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play...

Not my favorite Beatles album but it was definitely a game changer.

 

[squeekness]

SIRIUS XM has a new all Beatles channel. My new favorite!

 

[The Batman]

John just cheated on Cynthia constantly (and interestingly...never really wrote a song about her either)

7 Years later, I'm now convinced that "Jealous Guy" is actually about Cynthia.
