Could this be true???? Posted by someone on another forum. Gerrard, anyone??? :PDT_Xtremez_12:
A little known fact:
When the Beatles were making their last proper album, a publicity man came into the studio and announced that they were going to be flown to the Himalayas and helicoptered up a mountain and photographed in climbing gear and that the album would be called EVEREST. Ringo looked up from his drums and suggested that it might be better to take the photo outside the studio and call the album ABBEY ROAD .
Isn't it time Liverpool got by without the Beatles ?
The Beatles are part of what makes Liverpool GREAT, mate.Quote:

Them songs John and many many MANY more will be played long long after you and I bite the dust
Not Talented ?..Frank Zappa never wrote a song that will come close to anything Lennon and McCartney wrote.
Bottoms up..:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Ask most people in the world,WHERE,the Beatles come from, and they'll say Liverpool!!! Thier synonomous with the place,can you say that about anyone else? you cant buy that sort of publicity, love them or not!!!!!!!
Ok Lennon married Yoko (very clever).Quote:

Well isn't it funny how the Beatles Listened to Freak out(the 1st double Lp out) to get influenced for Sgt Peppers album?
Zappa could play any Beatles music blindfolded.
I suppose Lennon had some talent as Epstein liked the way he sucked.
McCartney only ever mentions Liverpool when he's got a new book comin' out or cd .
The Beatles suck,just like disco (and Lennon on Epstein)and there's a whole bunch of reasons Liverpool is on the map.
By the way,check out the Beatles Medley on youtube by Zappa.
And just in case you didn't know... Ringo played FZ/Larry the dwarf in Zappa's 200 Motels movie.Took lots of pictures too which I would love to get my hands on.

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

Your comments have gone from Bad to childish Rubbish.Quote:

I think Gerrard is right, mention the Beatles and there known world wide even today, to be honest and not being funny but, Ive never heard of Zappa, would be interesting to walk out and ask just how many have.
to redicule the talent that the Beatles had and the influence on Musicians is rather childish. Paul, never forgot his roots and hes been back to Liverpool several times, sometimes announced sometimes not. His brother lives over here on the Wirral too!. I have heard un comfirmed whispers that he may be back in Liverpool next year. On a different note, I am trying to find some music written by Paul, it was a collection of instrumental peices that he dedicated to John Lennon, it was a beautiful complation, *sobs* but I havent been able to find it again. Yes, Liverpool has and always will be great, but what makes a city Great?
the people
kat:)
I agree with people having opinions, and everyone has the right to one.
BUT........ Even if you don't like the Beatles, I personally don't think it's feasible to say they were/are not talented. That isn't just my opinion, that is a proven fact.
That is just an attention seeking comment meant to anger people.
I've heard of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.
Not my cup of Tea...I wouldn't come on here or anywhere else though and s lag the Man off..
I would'nt mind knowing though Why he called his Kids Moon Unit and Vine Weevil...Or something like that :unibrow:

I couldn't care less if this fella is a newbie or not,Somebody put there foot down now and tell this chap a few house rules.
Woahhhhh there Beatles fans.Hold on to your little moptops.
Look I don't **** the Beatles off.They did a good job themselves.
All am saying is....They were not good musicians.Ask a music teacher!
Also there is a helluva lot more to merseyside than the Beatles.
Wasn't most of the Beatles music played and written under the influence of some illegal subtances ? Same as the youth today ?
Because you've heard of Micheal Jackson does it make him great ?
Adolf Hitler had millions of followers but did it make him right.?
So don't fret,calm down,I'm glad their music is there for those who like it.
But just remember....
The Beatles were only a group from Liverpool.End of!!!
When asked Why did FZ call his kidz those names ?Quote:

Ive already told you but I notice you never commented on their Songwriting ability..
Were'nt they "Talented" in that department as well ?
Only A group from Liverpool Eh...And dont you forget It Mate.
Imagine the Noise that would still be coming from Manchester if they were from there..
Yer know something..Ive never heard so much crap in all my life as you are coming out with.
And I'll tell yer if no one else will...All this filth your coming out with.
Cut it out eh....You cant even apologise for that..
That tells me all I need to know about you mate.
yeah gerardQuote:

This idiot is definitely a candidate for the ignore feature.
I am in no way a Beatles fan as most will know but there is no reason to insult their achievements or make sexual insults about two deceased persons who can not answer back.
Well said Shytalk. I am a firm believer in that if you can't say something good about a person who has passed away, then you do your level best not to say something bad. There are far too many people who are ready to spread malicious rumours about people who are not in a position to defend themselves.
I actually met the people involved and Brian Epstein was always very much of a gentleman in his dealings with everybody.
Ok no apologees due to nothing to apologise for.Whats wrong with you.Quote:

Just don't think they're what made Liverpool or they were good musicians.
Songwriting.Some good songs where written I agree but there were some really awful ones too.
Other people I would think contributed more to the pool (eg,Harvey Longsdale elms,Kitty wilkinson,Noel Chavasse,Tom Mann,John warrington woods,Dr Duncan etc etc) than the Beatles.
So calm your little self down.Go put on a Lennon cd and relax,turn on tune in and drop out.MATE!!!
I suggest we drop this thread before I twist yer teddies arm. :PDT_Aliboronz_11:

The stones were good.Even though I don't own all of their stuff I think they had the idea.
Blues stuff they did,(well we know blues is easy but its the way its played)
was spot on.
I think K.Richards had "the feel" for the music.
So all in all they were pretty good but I think they should now give up.
Don't you?:disgust:

hmmm me thinks i need to locate my scousology book as one no longer comprehends what one is disclosing a little toooooooooo scouse for me chummy :rolleyes:
Although I don't wholeheartedly agree with his viewpoint, I can partly see where Frank is coming from. Personally I've got bored since I've lived in Liverpool of hearing/seeing stuff about the Beatles. It's almost done to excess. Personally I like some of their music, and have a good selection of Beatles tracks on i-tunes, but I'm not crazy about them.
I just think sometimes perhaps too much emphasis is given on them, as if they are a big reason why Liverpool is a great city. As we've seen in recent years, a pop act having a big following doesn't necessarily mean they are good musicians, but simply that they are marketed well by their management and label.
As I said, I like the music, I like the history, I like the story and I particularly liked the museum at the Albert Dock, but sometimes I can't help but think 'get over it - Liverpool has plenty of good stuff, past and present, why do we still need to obsess about the Beatles?'.
Sorry if that annoys anyone, just my two pence...
WELL SAID.Quote:

Hi all
I agree with Kev. Calm down everyone and be friends. :PDT_Aliboronz_24:
John, you might be interested to know that I spent part of my day on Saturday with a Liverpool fan from north London with whom I went to an Irish bar downtown to see LFC play Aston Villa. He was in the Baltimore area staying with relatives because he had come here specifically to see Frank Zappa's son Dweezil play his father's music in concert in "Zappa on Zappa" this past week.
He did though develop his love of music first through hearing the Beatles. I directed him to this thread and his comment was: "How anyone can say the Beatles were 'not even talented' is beyond me. I mean, whether you like them or not, the creative strides they made speak for themselves."
