I only really got into the Beatles much later in life and I still don't own any of their albums but they were pretty well documented by the people around them- Geoff Emerick's book about engineering them is pretty good because it gives you an understanding of how the music was made despite heavy limitations. It made me feel bad that I grew up thinking a four-track cassette recorder was inadequate. I remember back in the 90s when my dad started rifling through my CD collection looking for Green Day and Alice in Chains because he realized he'd been listening to the Beatles all his life and was bored of them. Unfortunately for him, I was going through a heavy Einsturzenden Neubauten & Big Black phase so he wound up borrowing and then returning a bunch of music that was screaming Germans beating on sheet metal or Steve Albini.

This guy has some other videos analyzing the music theory behind Beatles songs but I thought this was the most interesting with some clips from interviews with them talking about the song writing process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jm-P2OpfrQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnct7Qf3SUQ Just listen to the Stones version, it sounds awful. The Beatles totally knew their stuff and even if they didnt George Martin had legit classical background.

ive heard the stones kinda sucked live, especially in their late 60s/early 70s heyday. all those extra guitar tracks on Sticky Fingers tho, they definitely were suited for the studio

I only have 75 year old micks live performance to go on but it was insanely good for anyone let along a septugenarian. He has more showmanship in his pinky finger than 30 billboard number ones put together.

The only Beatles podcast I listen to regularly is I Am The Eggpod, which is a British guy sitting down to discuss a Beatle record with a guest, usually someone from the entertainment industry. Every episode focuses on one album only, and there’s a new guest each episode so the conversations never get stale. As a sampler I would recommend listening to episode 31 with Mark Lewisohn where they discuss the Star-Club tapes, the bootleg recording from one of the last Hamburg shows.

They just could not seem to play together, like they were all a little out of phase with each other. We noped out after a couple of songs.

I saw the Stones at the Oakland Coliseum in ‘89 or ‘90 - whenever the Steel Wheels tour was, and it was the worst live show I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen hundreds of them. lovely, muddy sound, Jagger sung like he didn’t give a poo poo, everything was in a faster tempo that felt like the band just wanted to get it over with, rather than full of energy. I swore I’d never go to another stadium show and I never have since then.

I've been to a couple of Stadium shows and they were good. The best was Santana at Mohegan Sun back in... '08? He played for hours. Dude just didn't stop. It was impressive, but also annoying to be surrounded by older people who didn't want to dance. Anyway, the Stones v Beatles argument is a bad one since the bands are very different. Considering their melodies and pop sensibilities the singer-songwriters of the '70's are a better comparison, even if they're direct offspring of the Beatles and perhaps their only true comparable contemporaries are the Kinks, but it's pretty clear why that doesn't work either.

Mick Taylor was the best Stone, and his solo on the track "Time Waits for No One" is one of my favorite things.

You cant compare old bands to new bands (recorded works) Theres at least minimum 20 years from whenever is now, and Bands before that are too much of an influence and rating musicianship is always stupid. Halloween Liker fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Apr 1, 2021 |

I'm biased as someone who generally loves the Stones but seeing them in the 80s would have been by far the worst possible time to see them. You were either seeing a band breaking up as they fail to find relevance into the new decade or a band that just regrouped and is trying to find their footing as a 'legacy' kind of band.

I saw The Roots live when they came here. Pretty good show but the 25-minute version of Bob Dylan's "Masters of War" literally had me falling asleep where I was standing. And yeah I mentioned many times that the Rolling Stones are garbage live, playing faster to get it over with is a great way of putting it. Mick Jagger is barely above David Lee Roth in terms of being a complete dogshit live singer who can't sing or stay on time. Sammy Hagar in Van Halen on the other hand, loving kicks rear end live.

I've actually come to a different conclusion regarding George. I think I'm starting to really cool on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" mainly because of the incredibly lovely Clapton solo. The drum and bass work is excellent on the song but I think I prefer the acoustic version on the Anthology to the point if it's not that I don't want to listen to it. His other stuff is still good and his Indian-derived songs are very cool.

I used to think that and then I listened to the mono cuts turned up loud and they are really good, actually. I'll give you the chorus of that song is not great but the verses are amazing.
