That's right folks! In this thread you can share pictures, sounds, videos, and for the love of the Lord... talk about the Fab Four. I got swung back into Beatlemania this year with Rock Band and the Remasters so until then have fun with the thread on the legendary John, Paul, George, and Ringo!

Sounds great man! With resurgence in interest, this thread will prove to be popular.
For me, I can remember sitting in front of my parents big RCA consol TV and watching them on the Ed Sullivan Show.
It still seems like yesterday..!

Hmm, I wonder if the beatles made a music video for Day In The Life, what it'd be like?
Maybe something like this?
YouTube - A Day In The Life - The Beatles Impression by Stevie Riks
or a if the beatles answered some questions...

I love The Beatles. Always have, always will. I'm not as swept up in Beatlemania as I once was but the boys will always have a place in my heart.

I'm annoyed tho' at all the friggin' paraphenalia and propaganda that's so easily available now! LOL. I started enjoying the Beatles when I was a kid, back in 1984 (MTV did a 20th Anniversary Big Screaming Deal thing. I got hooked easily. :D)

But I spent the better part of my youth scrounging for any Beatles related items I could find. The albums obviously (on LP, CD and Cassette! LOL), T-shirts, posters, photographs, coffee cups, books, you name it. By the early to mid 90's things started to become more available and then it seemed like things dried up. One of my most prized Beatles possessions is a John Lennon figure (doll? LOL), complete with black n' white guitar, the grey suit with the black collar and standing at the microphone. I wanted to collect all four (obviously LOL) but was unable to at the time.

Now tho' it seems like every time I turn around I see Beatles this n' that n' whathaveyou. Where the hell was all this crap when I was searching high and low for it?

Ah well. Hopefully there's an 8-year-old-kid out there who's discovering the Beatles for the first time now like I did then and they'll be excited to find all the paraphanelia. http://www.bluesbrotherscentral.com/forum2/public/style_emoticons/default/icon_cool.gif

Who doesn't love The Beatles. They're timeless. Revolver is a great album.

[Jo_Pierce]

Am I the only person who doesn't love them? I mean, there is some stuff I like, but if you asked me to list my favorite 100 bands, they really wouldn't be on that list.

I first started getting into the Beatles when I saw some of their videos on YouTube a couple years ago, but I'm definitely a fan now because of the new remastered albums. I used to think they were a tad overrated, but after reading up on their history and listening to their songs, I do agree with a lot of other people saying they're the greatest band in the world. I have all of the remastered albums except the White Album. I asked my girlfriend for that as a Christmas gift...I can't wait!

I love both the mop-top and hippie Beatles! I've always found it interesting how they evolved over the years. They had really catchy love songs in the beginning like Love Me Do and I Saw Her Standing There, but later on they sang more meaningful songs like Hey Jude, Revolution, and Let it Be.


1962


1969

My, how the fab four changed.

[elizabeth]

woo-hoo! i LOVE the beatles! my favorite is ringo. but i like them all. they're all just sooo hot! i listen to them all the time! my favorite song is "I've Just Seen a Face".

oh, and afm, i clicked on those two pictures and read your comment about how they changed and, needless to say, i got a little choked up, buddy...

on a lighter note: david, in that pic you posted, john looks like he's about to kill someone and paul's just looking at him like "what?" lmao. :lol:

[TK826]

IMO they are overall the greatest rock band that ever existed.


*edit
I still remember the national moment of silence, when Lennon was killed.
Even at 10 yrs old, I realized how much of a sad, eerie day that was.

I got the remastered White Album. I also have A Hard Day's Night, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, Abbey Road and Past Masters. Of all the remasters, I think Magical Mystery Tour has the best artwork. It's also the only one of the bunch where the disc label is a replica of the old Capitol LP label with the rainbow border, while the others either replicate a Parlophone label or an Apple label.

Ya huh. Anyways this thread is for people who DO like the Beatles, so why would either of you click on the thing in the first place?

#2 I just got done playing The Beatles: Rock Band, I'm liking some of their old stuff that I was never really into before...

[elizabeth]
