What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan?
I am the first to admit that I am a Beatles fan. And might even say that I am die hard. A recent film and recent album has me questioning the latter.
Peter Jackson's film "Get Back" and the 2022 "de-mixed" release of "Revolver" were both somewhat over the top for even a long time Beatles fan.
I had difficulty getting through both the film and the album.
Yes, it was pretty cool to get an inside look at the prep for the famous rooftop concert. But it became tedious to listen to all the "bla bla" in the studio and the endless fiddling of non Beatles songs.
Not to mention all that time "practicing" in the studio to come up with 3 or 4 songs.
And it was cool to hear the de-mixed versions of Revolver material, but 63 tracks with much relatively meaningless stuff took me 2 days to get through.
I certainly can appreciate the attraction to the behind the scenes things.
But neither the film or the album gave me much insight into who these guys are were/are.
The film was especially disappointing.

@bdp24 the way you are trashing all 4 of them (but mostly 3) is painful and pathetic. I know we should try to be objective but e.g. Paul never stopping writing and recording music every decade and still going, as good as or way better than his contemporaries. No need to argue with me, I don't play any instruments, and I was never on a first name basis with Eric C. or Tom P. I JUST enjoy their music, written together, apart, rooftop, studio or whatever.... |
@stuartk "his" meditation garden in Encinitas is still a paradise to all who live nearby |
@mikelavigne perfectly said! My all time favorite is Abbey Road and until I learned that Let It Be wasn't their last album I used to be confused. Their evolution heard through their albums is pure magic. |
