j4lackey Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I keep meaning to mention that movie to see if anyone else has seen it - the B/W one, right? John & Brian's planeride, John flirting with a stewardess, Brian getting jealous, John saying "she's just a bird, Brian. Just a bird." I can't remember anything else about it.I don't think this one was black and white. I think it was from before that one. I could be wrong though. The Any Loov quote was from when Brian didn't want the boys to see him cause he had been beat up by a sailor he had propositioned, and John went into his office anyway. Brian looked bruised and ashamed, and John said "It's okay, Eppy. Any loov is good loov". Probably didn't happen, but the actor nailed the accent, so it was a nice moment.

Sir Stewart Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I've always found it interesting that they chose "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" as the song for the Brian tribute montage in the Anthology - sort of a nod and a wink to something that's never been verified.

Sir Stewart Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I'd like to see a movie based on George's trip to St. Louis in 1963, pre-(American)Beatlemania, to visit his sister. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

embiggen Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 anyone thing cocaine might have been involved in the recording of "You Know My Name, Look Up the Number?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boywiththorninside Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 anyone thing cocaine might have been involved in the recording of "You Know My Name, Look Up the Number?" I couldn't tell you. What I would like to know though is whether the sax solo is by Brian Jones of the Stones. I've read that it is him, and I've read that it is not him. Which is it?

Analogman Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Paul McCartney has spoken for the first time about how the Beatles turned down a offer to reform the band in 1976. Speaking to listings magazine Radio Times to publicise his show at the BBC Electric Proms later this month, McCartney said that the money they were offered to stage a comeback back then was 'phenomenal'. He said:"There were phenomenal amounts of money being offered. Millions by Sid Bernstein, this New York promoter. But it just went round and round. There might be three of us thinking 'You know, it might not be a bad idea' - but the other one would go, 'Nah, I don't think so' and sort of veto it. Let's put it this way, there was never a time when all four of us wanted to do it. And I'm actually glad of that now because the Beatles' work is a body of work. There's nothing to be ashamed of there. He concluded: "The potential disappointment of coming on and not being as good as The Beatles had been, that was a risk we shouldn't take." In the wake of the unprecedent buzz around Led Zeppelin's reunion - Macca was asked in the interview 'What If' the Beatles could have reformed now? McCartney replied: "Since you're leading me down that flowery path, we could imagine that John would be this fantastic elder statesman, very much in command of his lifestyle. I'd be alongside him singing magnificently.George would be playing like an angel on his guitar. We'd be gelling, sounding like nothing anyone's ever heard before with all the power of modern amplification." With a flourish he added: "And, behind us, would be the world's greatest drummer. And it'd be fandabidozi! We could be introduced by the Krankies. Unfortunately, this is just pure imagination. But then what's wrong with that?" McCartney also revealed that he has artists old and new on his iPod, saying: "My iPod moves from Kaiser Chiefs to Neil Young to Guillemots to Bob Dylan to Radiohead to Bob Marley. And if you want to get a dancefloor moving, it's I Will Survive. Mix that with Foo Fighters, throw in a bit of Fred Astaire, KC and the Sunshine Band, maybe Fatboy Slim and we've got it!"

bjorn_skurj Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Fer Chrissakes, can we can the McCartney hate? Dude wrote "Let it Be." That enough would be sufficient to crown him a great genius, but prior to that, he had written "Hey Jude." So what if his solo stuff didn't have the angry protesty thing that John's had?

I think his solo stuff is better than John's. Say what you will about it being corny, "Here Today" gets me every single time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Fer Chrissakes, can we can the McCartney hate? Dude wrote "Let it Be." That enough would be sufficient to crown him a great genius, but prior to that, he had written "Hey Jude." So what if his solo stuff didn't have the angry protesty thing that John's had? I don't think Lennon fans base their preference on his protest songs (which would be on "Some Time in NYC" and some on "Mind Games"). I enjoy Paul's solo output, but I don't think any of his albums beat John's first two, though some come close. I also think a 'Best of McCartney' compilation wouldn't have as strong a list of songs as 'Lennon Legend'. Paul's a musical genius capable of making something light like 'Obladi Oblada' or 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' endlessly interesting and memorable, but John is an idea man unmatched and can make me stop in my tracks with a song like 'Jealous Guy' when i'm not even the jealous type. oh yeah, and 'Imagine'. all just my opinion, of course.

Littlebear Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 the early stuff and the later stuff are like two different bands. The early stuff is the best little rock and roll combo. It was a late fifties teens wetdream of a band. They played catchy, fun pop tunes and had killer harmonies, booked gigs for 25 minutes and could be off in 18. It was a cool time, with great energy.The late stuff is artistic genius. They played the most original, thought provoking, mind opening music known to man. I agree with the creative genius for every phase of the Fab's career, but not in the terms you mention. There were more original and thought provoking bands and artists than the Beatles (Velvet Underground, Kinks, Captain Beefheart, Soft Machine, Bob Dylan, etc). The Beatles were the most entertaining and creative at once: I would agree better with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
