Hating the most popular band of all time... ooooh! You're all so edgy and hip except @mariner4life who gave up his hipster beard and is just a shouty old man now.

I don't particularly fanboi on the Beatles - there are some absolute classics there that, harmonically, are structured in a way that nobody else was able to replicate. And there was a lot of shit as well.

The rating was for the film itself.

I put the Beatles success down to the amount of LSD their fans took.

That may have been true from a certain point, but would be ignoring the first 3-4 years of their pop stuff before Sgt Pepper.

As for Ed Sheeran - dude can rock a stadium, and for a gormless ranga with coke bottle glasses is clearly doing something right. Respect.

If you want to really hate on a band for producing nothing but shit, try The Doors.

Doors are sensational. ‘Roadhouse Blues’, ‘Light my Fire’ and ‘LA Woman’ are bonafide classic rock songs. I don’t have much time for Morrison’s poetry wank but he remains one of the coolest frontmen who ever lived.

The odd good song here and there aside I think both the Beatles and Stones are massively overrated. From that era I’ll take Zep, the Who, Deep Purple, Floyd, Sabbath or Hendrix over them in a heartbeat.

Roadhouse Blues is an inspirational tune about alcohol abuse. What part of ‘woke up this morning and I got myself a beer’ do you not understand ?

@MN5 inspired. From where could such genius spring? 😶

Wrong way I reckon ... all stoned people liked their songs. Non stoners less so.

Possibly because they didn't beat off together ?

John Lennon is a different story. I like him.

Lennon was a twat - but I like lots of his Beatles music. I think he's easily the most unlikeable Beatle but everyone loves him as the cool one - so WTF do I know?

Harrison is my favourite

How George Harrison – and a very naughty boy – saved British cinema

The Beatle loved Monty Python so much, he set up HandMade Films to make Life of Brian – and rehabilitated the UK movie industry. But the studio’s fun couldn’t last

Best song by an ex Beatle.....ever.

Musically there is a lot wrong with this track ( time signature, no chorus til the end etc )......and that's not even taking into account Phils choice of shirt.

But it works and it fucken rocks.

Enjoy.

Paul McCartney unable to end live version of Hey Jude

FEARS are growing for Paul McCartney who is now 16 hours into an acoustic version of Hey Jude and appears unable to prevent another chorus.

Paul McCartney unable to end live version of Hey Jude

10th August 2017

"FEARS are growing for Paul McCartney who is now 16 hours into an acoustic version of Hey Jude and appears unable to prevent another chorus.

After close to 4,000 ‘na, na, na, nana nana, nana nana, Hey Judes’, McCarney’s early exuberance transformed into panic and now has been replaced by a grim resignation.

His voice hoarse and his hands raw, McCartney looked haggard as the audience’s insatiable, ruthless desire for more Hey Jude became brutally apparent.

Fan Julian Cook said: “Every time he reaches a crescendo I feel satisfied, but roughly half a second later all I want is to hear the first part of the chorus again.

“Of course I feel a bit sorry for McCartney, especially when he uses the seconds between lines to beg for mercy, but he should’ve thought of that before he wrote such a catchy song.”

While McCartney has been able to eat morsels of food between choruses, his attempts to shower and defecate have been more problematic.

He said: “These braying jackals won’t ever be satisfied. If I ever get out of this I promise to only play Mull of Kintyre, nobody has ever complained about that ending.”"
