Calm down, Mark.
The guy that shot him was such an butthole, Yoko Ono was right there! He couldn't spare one bullet?
>I'm glad he's dead. He deserved to be shot. He was a fricking messianic. Listen to his songs! 'Imagine.' I hate that fricking song. I'm glad he's dead.

lame clod jealous of genius
Imagine is a pretty gay song admittedly though
love him so much
John was a whiny b***h with a mommy complex. he would be insufferable on his depression days when he doesnt have the energy to be witty
>mommy complex
>married a mid domineering Asian woman
Hmmm
What Hendrix song is your favorite or are you poser who only listens to Hey Joe and Watchtower?

He was a bit fruity but I need tunes that fit my style in my 66 mustang
I'm not reading that word salad bro
>John becomes my favorite Beatle again just simply because he seems so fun to be around
Really? I have't seen Get back but John always seemed insufferable for me. I also don't like how this fricker got off scott free after beating women and still felt entitled to act preachy and pretend to be some grandstanding spiritual guy.
Maybe the women deserved to get slapped around?
>beats up women

worst beatle.
He should've been a movie star
You’re not very smart.
A liberal beatnick heroin addicted hippie communist music professor was teaching a class on John Lennon, a known wife-beater
"Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Lennon and accept that "Imagine" was the greatest former Beatle album the world has ever known, even greater than anything by Paul McCartney!"
At this moment, a brave, patriotic Granny who had bought the entire Paul McCartney discography and understood the genius of "Ob-la-di ob-la-da" and supported all musical decisions made by Paul McCartney stood up and held up an album.
"What album is this?"
The arrogant professor smirked quite Yoko-Ono-ishly and smugly replied "It's shitty muzak for Grannies."
"Wrong. It’s "Band on the Run", the best-selling former Beatle solo album with more than 8 million copies sold worldwide. If "Imagine", as you say, is better… then it should have sold more."
The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. He stormed out of the room crying those wife-beater crocodile tears.
The students applauded and all took the Grannypill that day and accepted Paul McCartney as their lord and savior. An eagle named "Billy Shears" flew into the room and perched atop the British Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" was sung several times, and a bunch of Scottish bagpipers showed up and played "Mull of Kintyre".
The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He was shot by a deranged American lunatic and was tossed into the lake of fire for all eternity.
lmfao good post
Extremely good post.
The arrogant professor smirked quite Yoko-Ono-ishly
>an eagle named Billy Shears
Read this imagining Bob Dylan singing this for some reason and it fit
>chatgpt
Billy Shears!
Ram is a good album too
Paul Mccartney took shit from everyone for years after Lennon's death, became the guy with the big ego who wrote granny music, etc, but this documentary really vindicated him, along with him being right about Allen Klein.
his songs are still granny shit, nothing is going to change that
John was a woman and child beating scumbag. And Imagine is possibly the worst song of all time.
>Child beating
He didn't beat Julian, there's no real evidence that he did despite Julian's claims. Probably because the others, like Paul, would have confirmed that or not like how Paul confirmed he beat Cynthia.
bruh he was probably in the right. I would have beaten Julian too. Still would.
George is literally me

Good morning sirs!
Didn't he get done for diddling kids?
>Get Back comes out
I've always been a Beatles fan as it was the first rock & roll music I ever heard (via a babysitter, my parents being post-WWI Polish immigrants) but after watching the Get Back documentary flick, I've come to the conclusion that Paul McCartney was the heart and soul of the band.
Yes, his intimate partnership with Lennon was critical to the success of The Beatles but without Paul, The Beatles would have never happened and John, George and Ringo would have been irrelevant nobodies while Paul still would have had success, either as a solo artist or with other musicians.
Spot on. John didn't have "it". Paul did.
>The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all time are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all time. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics, instead, are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers.
>In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, most rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.
>Hopefully, one day there will be a clear demarcation between a great musician like Tim Buckley, who never sold much, and commercial products like the Beatles. At such a time, rock critics will study their rock history and understand which artists accomplished which musical feat, and which simply exploited it commercially.
This is a nonsense take.
The Beatles were the greatest and/or most significant or most influential rock band ever and that they ALSO happened to be the most popular, doesn't change that fact despite what pretentious and purposely contrary "critics" looking for attention for themselves claim.
Sometimes things are actually what they seem.
He's right. You wouldn't compare The Revolver to A Love Supreme or Shostakovich's Symphony 15. Beatles made 3 minute pop jingles purely for maximum profit, they were literally Coldplay or Ed Sheeran of their generation. Sometimes hippie plebs can be too delusional
The Beatles defined rock & roll when they hit the scene and influenced literally every other band that came after them, this is not debatable and their effect on music can't be disregarded, NOBODY since them has had that effect.
>The Beatles defined rock & roll
The Doors, Cream and Rolling Stones did, not the Beatles. The Beatles just made rock more accessible to the unwashed masses
>influenced literally every other band that came after them
Influenced the equally shitty pop bands that came and go, sure
>The Doors
CIA funded circus music.
>Cream
Generic boomer noodling.
>and Rolling Stones
Literally copied The Beatles until their heroin era in the 70s when they actually got god.
>CIA funded circus music
as opposed to MI5 funded beatnik music?
>Generic boomer noodling
You would call jazz the same, wouldn't you?
>Literally copied The Beatles until their heroin era in the 70s when they actually got god.
Might be true, but least they performed Beatles' ideas better
Ya know why are they called...
>The Doors
...because when you hear 'em, you find the closest exit door.
>Cream
...because their noise sounds like me creaming your girl.
>Rolling Stones
...because they sound like a pack of chimps dying in an avalanche.
That's not true
>Rolling Stones
You posted the only album where you can really say they copied the Beatles - which has some great stuff on it anyway, Citadel, She’s a Rainbow, and 2000 Light Years From Home are excellent - but most of their other stuff is not that similar to the Beatles. The Stones were much more of a blues-based band, with Paul McCartney even calling them a “blues cover band”. The Beatles on the other hand were not as heavily influenced by the blues. Their influence was much more 50s rock and roll, skiffle, and country. In particular they cited Elvis, Chuck Berry, and Buddy Holly as influences
>when they actually got good
There is some great Stones stuff from the 60s. Mother’s Little Helper, Get Off My Cloud, Ruby Tuesday, Yesterday’s Papers, Paint it Black, and Satisfaction are all great 60s Stones songs
Don't You Rock Me Daddy O by The Vipers is real skiffle shit, pure washboard kino
Beatles did not really bring anything new, they were just particularly popular at the time (which was influential on its own right, to be fair)
Their style of folksy rock&roll was around for years by then
On the other hand, Kraftwerk influenced pretty much every single band that featured synthesizers, from synth-pop/rock to trance and techno
before them, synthesizers were more or less for silly movie sound effects and just messing around
>le high art is inherently superior to low art
absolute brainlet take
>high art is inherently superior to low art
I wouldn't say it superior, but it's more refined and complex
if anything pop music is more refined than jazz or classical
due to time constraints and commercial pressure
Nah. Pop music takes a lot of input from the businessmen, not artists. The more commercial element matters in production - the less present is artistic integrity.
neutral milk hotel is the only band I’ve ever blocked on spotify
everything else is correct
>popular music bad
>selling albums bad
this take smells almost as bad as the Indian who taught George how to play the sitar
the point is that pop music can't be the greatest of all time cause it can't stand the test of time, you moronic mongrel
>The Beatles have not stood the test of time
dumb Black person
yes they have not. they sound dated, they reek of the 60s pop jingles tropes
Is it that The Beatles don't stand the test of time, or that you specifically don't like their music?
Yes
>John Lennon, by this point infatuated by Yoko Ono and addicted to heroin, hated working on ‘Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da’. According to engineer Geoff Emerick, Lennon "openly and vocally detested" the song, calling it “more of Paul's granny shit”. McCartney’s insistence in re-recording the song a number of times with different arrangements didn’t help matters, and the process contributed to the fraught atmosphere that dominated many of the White Album sessions.
>Lennon had grown tired of recording the song. He reportedly came into the studio under the influence of drugs, sat down at the piano and banged out the introduction on the keys. According to engineer Richard Lush "John Lennon came to the session really stoned, totally out of it on something or other, and he said, ‘All right, we’re gonna do ‘Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da’. He went straight to the piano and smashed the keys with an almighty amount of volume, twice the speed of how they’d done it before, and said, ‘This is it! Come on!’ He was really aggravated. That was the version they ended up using."
I'm surprised he splashed out on a first class ticket, he's a notoriously tight fricker.
Number 9
Why couldn't they try the song about simply having a wonderful christmas time?
This is AI made. Why does no one seem to fricking notice? It's not real footage.
They're screencaps from the movie.
Paul fricking DIED and they replaced him with a look-alike.
>bad pun named band getting high and writing weird ass songs about egg men fricking rocking horse people under a marmalade sky becomes a worldwide phenomenon
We were always clownworld. We're the joke of the multiverse.
He was kind of a lazy b***h. Paul was always the best one because he had most talent AND work ethic/drive.
He even died in a lazy way. He couldn't be fricked to overdose, so he just let himself be shot like a homosexual.
That one was for Paul (R.I.P.)
Lennon wrote more of their early hits. being mega-famous and taking drugs was just too distracting for a disassociative type like John.
>all this shit flinging
>not a single piece of negativity about ringo
peace and love, peace and love
yoko ono beatdown
My favorite John story is when his manager Brian Epstein was asking the boys to come up with a title for his autobiography, and John acidly says “How about Queer israelite?”
I would hang out with John and Ringo. George would try to convert me to his Indian mumbo jumbo and Paul is too much of a perfectionist control freak to handle in more than small doses. John seemed like he would be fun to be around even if I don’t agree with his politics and Ringo is Ringo
Ringo is a chill bro
>Does anyone know this feel? Any Beatle you'd hang out with?
literally me
I had that one john lennon greatest hits album in the 90s, well cassette tape
played the shit out of it
as I hit my 20s i started to hate on comies and cringed at imagine and stopped being obsessed with john lennon
would still listen to some of his songs but it wasnt until Get Back that I really liked john lennon again and now i miss him more than ever
my fav beatle was george, I always felt like a connection to him and john, paul would get on my nerves and i cant sanction ringos bufoonery
thank you for listening to my podcast
John used to beat his first wife and was neglectful father to his first son. He also cheated on his first wife with yoko ono of all people, trashy person and hypocrite.
celestial
biblical
bloody brilliant
>imagine all the people
>beating their wives in peace
>you may say I'm a dreamer
>but I'm not the only one
He was so real for this
>beating their wives in peace
Do some research she deserved ever hit
Yoko cuck shoving his moronic ugly pet azn and their relationship under everyone's nose like a dead skunk. Frick that hippie moron.
I never understood this 'having favorites' thing. I just have beatles songs i like and thats it, i barely know which one is which most of the time.
Same goes for Metallica, "ohhh hes a shit bassist ohh the guitars bad" if the songs good, it's good and i will continue to listen to it
That's too many words, "I don't know or care about music" would have sufficed
Humans are obsessed with hierarchy, hence all the power level autism in fandom, the ordering of women by hotness, and trying to rank Monty Python by funniness (it's Palin > Cleese > Chapman > Jones > Idle > Gilliam).
Lennon was an absolute c**t.
he could be obnoxious as frick sometimes but john seemed like the most fun one to have a beer with out of all of them
Frick this Godless israelite
>Jew
Lennon was a right and proper Liverpoolian English boy.
John was 50/50 English Anglican and Irish Catholic according to the leading Beatles historian
I’d hang out with Ringo. He seems chill as frick.
It's usually the drummer or the bass player, one or the other, who you want to hang around.
Agreed. John would probably act like a c**t and think he's above hanging out with me. George would be a drag and go on about indian spirituality crap. Paul would probably be fun but he would more than likely just act really fake so that he can feel like he's in touch with the people
>>Grow up listenimg to the Beatles,
Holy shit sorry for your loss that must've been a god damned nightmare.
>in only 7 years
If you know, you know

> Not beating sense into your deadbeat son hanging around glitzy druggies and gold diggers.
John did nothing wrong.
Get Back only solidified my hatred for John, clinging to yoko like a safety blanket, fricking pathetic
Paul on the other hand is the kind of guy to just get shit done
paul is the best beatle
Not even debatable.
The only downside to Paul is that he's a vegan but in every other aspect he's based.
Test
>fun to be around
until the smack wears off.
They all seemed to be insufferable c**ts so why would you want to hang out with them at all
Beach Boys were better
Not even close. Beach Boys only had one member who could even write a decent song and he cuckoo

Stupid moron would have loved Cinemaphile
This delusional loon had so many screws loose it's shocking; and he's worshipped. Fricker sat in a vast mansion painted entirely white singing 'imagine no possessions' while amassing possessions. He was a phony hippie to the core and the mere fact that he found that revolting hirsute creature Yoko sexually attractive makes me question his sanity entirely... or pity him magnificently. Someone musta fricked him up royally when he was little.. probably some matronly old b***h with a massively hairy crotch forced herself on him. Excuse me while I go throw up a little, just typing this makes me gag. Imagine my ass. Good musician, sure, but a real hypocrite human being who want to tell everyone what love was and preach higher consciousness. IMAGINE MY ASS!
