McCartney gig revives Israeli Beatles tale

The Beatles weren't the cause of everything. It's my point and it's not necessarily right. I'm just expressing my point over this communist thing. And, I would like to add that I'm not a communist(or anything). My ideal political system is that on which you reap what you sow. If any kind of government will allow you to do so. And in the end, they won't. They are all disguised man. Into republican, democrat suits. Communist suits. Haven't you got the meaning yet?

Wow, you really are uninformed aren't you? Elvis BARELY wrote any of his stuff. Most of his stuff was written by other people and he was given credit for it. Check it out if you think I'm lying (http://answers.yahoo.com/ques tion/index?qid=1006051908428). The Beatles were the first group to write almost every song in their catalog save for the ones they grew up listening too such as Twist and Shout, Money, Boys, etc. As for feedback the very first use of intentional feedback was on I FEEL FINE in mid 1964 way before anyone else, check that out too. Yes they did make their own videos (Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, Day In The Life, All You Need Is Love, Paperback Writer, Rain, Hello Goodbye, Something, etc. etc. etc. were all made by them with little if any help, check it out too. Yes, they did have approximately 80-85% input on the way their songs were put together with George Martin supplying the additional arranging. As for Zeppelin, you are correct but Nirvana? I can't tell you one song other than Teen Spirit that they made. Please go watch "The Beatle Revolution" or visit any local library as there are hundreds of books on them (pretty good for a bunch of hacks with no talent, why do billions of people still love them if they sucked?). If you don't like them that's cool but please don't spread incorrect info on them, that's just being irresponsible.

<quoted text>and if i remember correctly , CCR had their first hit in 1959 ; well before the beatles . which also OPENED the doors for them .
i'll give you the fact they were new and fresh at the time....but within a YEAR people could see right through them .

<quoted text>the reason millions of FOOLS LOVE them is the same reason people love N'STINK and suckny spears . because they wouldn't know GOOD talent if it slapped them in the face . millions of people love 50CENT and RHIANNAH.....doesn't mean it's good .
the kinks guitarist INVENTED distortion . there are amps NAMED after him . which he DISCOVERED by cutting his speakers slightly gave him that sound .
nirvana : "smells like teen spirit " ; "lithium " ; " in bloom " ; " rape me " ......just to name some of the 30 songs on the charts . you're hung up on some schwag band from the 60's man .
this is what i notice about ALL beatles fans . some of the MOST close minded people in the world . there are other bands out there . they are FAR from the " greatest band in the world "
feedback......many bands did it before them . you're just hellbent on defending a bunch of washed up bubble-gum pop princes .

My advice would be if its your opinion than say it like that, "In my opinion, the Beatles had nothing to do with....". I never said they were "the cause of everything" I was just stating some of the great things they did for the world, they sure did make the world a much better place. Some people will never agree but they are in the minority. There will always be those jerks that try to tear down good people.

Forget it awc, this guy must have taken a grenade in his helmet in Vietnam. How is it CCR is still touring? There's only one guy left. Oh yeah, so is Foreigner, REO, Styx, Three Dog Night and the Platters...I find it funny how he keeps stating the same stuff without any facts to back up his assertions. And as for being hung up on a group from the 60's, wasn't CCR's best days in the 60's too? He wants us to think that one top 200 song by Tom (not John) Fogerty is the equivalent to "I Want To Hold Your Hand". I love all classic rock including CCR (Stones, Who, Kinks, Petty, Springsteen but let's face the facts here, there is only one Beatles. Ask Mick, Pete, Ray, Tom and Bruce...they all acknowledge the one group who made it all possible. You don't have to love them but you must respect them for what they did.

Yes, I state facts not opinions...facts can be checked, opinions are just that. I quoted a famous political expert whose job it is to study those types of things. Your opinion was that they had nothing to do with it. That's all fine and nice but I'll stick with the experts if you don't mind. Nothing personal, cheers.

I listen to everything from the 1950's to the present. Just depends on my mood. I like all these classic rock bands people have mentioned...except I think Springsteen is way overated. Anyways, without a doubt the Beatles are the best. The Stones were pretty close but not close enough. Singer wise nobody beats Elvis's voice. My favorite Beatles song is probably,"Ticket To Ride." Love the guitars and drums in that song. If Epstein hadn't died maybe they would have lasted longer. As Lennon said upon hearing of his death, "we're f--ked now."

Greg wrote:

<quoted text>You can stick to anyone you like. I know what you mean or what this expert means. It's true that the Beatles influenced the Russian youth just like any country's youth. There are many things also we can't ignore over this and behind this. Anyway, it's off topic I guess. Take care.

BTW, many people don't know this but "Ticket To Ride" is considered by most musicians the first heavy metal record.
