The Beatles (rock, genre, albums, fan, Ringo)

I'm going to do a rare return to this forum and defend Yoko Ono. What killed The Beatles was their massive time spent with each other. Even if you're with your best friend, 10+ years of seeing them every day, most hours of the day, you will grow sick of them. The Beatles started as boys in the beginning, and to really become men and actually LIVE their lives, the thing needed to end. People make Yoko a scapegoat because they refuse to believe that this is a band of regular(working class) guys, with passions and ideas who eventually started to drift from each other. Yoko fell in love and so did John. If Yoko is to be blamed, John should get just as much blame as her.

Couldn't agree more. John and Yoko just fell in love and I don't see how that is the problem. People are stupid when they say that bands should be prioritized over relationships. It's always the female that gets labelled as the intruder who wrecks everything. Band's don't last forever. It wasn't solely Yoko's fault.

You're a funny guy.

I know this might be a little hard topic but I never really understood the motivation for killing John. And why John? Has this something to do with Yoko and him not wanting to get back with the Beatles?

I think the guy who killed John was pissed at a comment John made years earlier. The sickest part of it all isn't that he killed John, it's that he asked for and received John's autograph hours before shooting him.

To comment about the Yoko/John fiasco... I don't think anything was really affected by Yoko in the grand scheme of things. We have TONS of great music from the Beatles and a nice amount of John Lennon solo work that may not have happened had he not met Yoko.

Hmm.. I wasn't aware that there was a comment made by John that pissed the man off. Would you happen to know the lines of the comment?

I got this information on this influential track.

50 Most Influential Dance Records of All Times Muzik Magazine

50 Most Influential Dance Records of All Times
1) The Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows" (EMI 1966)
(Revolver L.P.)
Every idea ever used in dance music exists in this song. The first track recorded for the epochal Revolver L.P., Tomorrow Never Knows (the title lifted from the Tibetan Book of the Dead) was an acid-soaked masterpiece of prime psychedelia. Distorted guitars, Lennon's treated vocals, endless overdubs and the backwards drum loops all prefigure in some way the idea of sampling technology, while the group's interest in transcendental meditation - letting yourself be transported, disorientated, tripped out lies at the heart of everyone's club experiences. Recorded amazingly, only three years after the saccharine pop of She Loves You, this is untouchable genius.
