The Beatles

[Paul D]

I hope so Ged it would be great too see Lennon and McCartney back at number 1.

Could this be true???? Posted by someone on another forum. Gerrard, anyone???

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 ?

Liverpool was great before the Beatles.

[ChrisGeorge]

Liverpool was great before the Beatles.

Shy, you are of course correct, mate. Let's just say that the Beatles and the other Mersey stars -- Ken Dodd, Gerry, Cilla, Billy Fury, etc. -- have added to the greatness.

You bet.The Beatles were only a group,not even a talented one.
They never made this city great.Liverpool would have had no problems being recognised as a great city.Look around.

Ok Lennon married Yoko (very clever).
The FBI thought JL too stoned (and stupid) to worry about.
As for Zappa not writing a song that comes close to the Beatles...
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.
Whats Yoko got to do with it ??

"Zappa could play any Beatles music Blindfolded"..Jaess..Na na na na naaaaaaa..
Epstein liked the way Lennon sucked eh...Enough said.

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?
