Allanon November 29, 2012 Share Allanon Member November 29, 2012 Not sure what kind of music most people around here listen to, but I guess I take it for granted that everyone's as big a Beatles and especially George Harrison fan as I am. Still, to those who don't know he passed away 11 years today. One of the best songwriters and guitarists to have ever lived (in my biased opinion of course) and my favorite Beatle. I feel like wherever you guys are today (yes it's already 4:00 PM Central) to enjoy the rest of your day and week, because if I learned anything from listening to George, it's that all things must pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookback November 29, 2012 Share Lookback Member November 29, 2012 Strangely, I am glad I missed him. But here are the Lemonheads, because I do miss them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairweather November 29, 2012 Share Fairweather Member November 29, 2012 my guitar gently weeps, by far his best song. I love the story about bringing clapton into the recording session because nobody would take the song seriously 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanon November 29, 2012 Author Share Allanon Member November 29, 2012 (edited) I really feel as if I was born in the wrong decade. Also Fairweather have you ever seen the version where Prince does the solo? Made me respect the guy so much more than I ever did before.

Also Fairweather have you ever seen the version where Prince does the solo? Made me respect the guy so much more than I ever did before. YES! I saw it maybe about a few months ago ... I couldn't believe Prince could shred like that. I'm pretty sure my face melted Edited November 29, 2012 by Fairweather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDude November 30, 2012 Share TheDude Member November 30, 2012 Lol @ ZD. Was about to post that exact video but you beat me to it I unfortunately only discovered Johnny Cash a year after his untimely demise. Not much American country music going around in Belgium.

JohnnyQuid November 30, 2012 Share JohnnyQuid Member November 30, 2012 (edited) For a drummer like me, a drummer named Keith Moon is a legend!! I never had the luck to see The WHO live with Keith Moon but he is absolutly stunning! Love watching him play he's drums! +http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuISrv2su6U Edited November 30, 2012 by JohnnyQuid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai nightling November 30, 2012 Share samurai nightling Member November 30, 2012 Probably my favorite cover by Johnny Cash. But I like the original alot as well. Never was a big Beatles fan, they have some good music, but not my style much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai nightling November 30, 2012 Share samurai nightling Member November 30, 2012 Also, thanks to Wikipedia for letting me know Trent Reznor is in a new band after NIN! How To Destroy Angels, pretty cool sound. Half the people in this thread probably think I'm nuts though lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stutters November 30, 2012 Share stutters GC Alumni November 30, 2012 i think you're nuts for having not heard of HTDA until now. it's fantastic, and in my opinion, the newest album destroys the first one. most people that liked earlier NIN trent reznor don't like this new direction, though. http://vimeo.com/54507716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai nightling November 30, 2012 Share samurai nightling Member November 30, 2012 I like it. No its not him singing, so people are upset about that, but her voice is very good, his wife correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never was a big Beatles fan, they have some good music, but not my style much. If by have some good music you mean an entire catalogue that completely redefined how the entire world thought about music in every way then yes. Sorry I can admit that I have an obsession with them, but just remember any music that you like would be completely different without them.

shaftiel November 30, 2012 Share shaftiel Member November 30, 2012 Definitly Yoko Ono's music would be different. Darn those Beatles for spawning that. Other than the connection to Yoko, I <3 Beatles. Shaftiel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I can admit that I have an obsession with them, but just remember any music that you like would be completely different without them.that argument is part of the reason i hate the beatles. the same could be said about the pixies, the ramons, the sex pistols, even elvis. music, among myriad other things, influence musicians. personally, i'd like to thank the beatles for commercializing music by exploiting simple hooks and pop rhythms. a lot of great that's done us.

I should have prefaced that with saying I'm also very biased and this is my subjective opinion. Still I just believe that no one since them as affected music the way they did. Especially in songwriting. They certainly weren't the best instrumentalist to ever walk the Earth, but I feel as if McCartney and Lennon together were the best songwriters pop music has ever seen. Protip: George Harrison's hooks and lack of complex solos makes it seems as if he's not really that good but he just refused to play one more note than was ever necessary. Also could play a beautiful slide guitar. tl;dr that's just like your opinion, man. Edited November 30, 2012 by Allanon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
