I hope you listen to REvolver in its entirety. That one album shaped all of the music you love, including hip hop. Paul invented tape loops, which later became sampling. That's just ONE of the influences from just that one album.
Really enjoyed this segment. They were very charming, witty guys and not stupid at all.
This is why the Beatles were so well liked. They were just kids being honest with their thoughts. They became wealthy & famous but remained working class.
And the Beatles move forward into new hearts 60 years and growing Paul is amazing
Thanks for taking the time to better understand the context of the music you're reacting to so well. It's a great service to all those who are hearing and learning for the first time, like you. And it means a lot to those of us with the good fortune of having lived through it all. There's so much great art and innovation there, with echoes today. It's a pleasure to share in your discovery!
couldn't agree more with this comment. Its important to get a sense of the time particularly with respect to the 60's music. All hell broke out in the 70's (see Rolling Stones Altamont concert 🥲)
When I was younger, I used to lean more towards John in terms of who really drove the Beatles. As I've grown older, I've become more and more a Paul fan. Don't get me wrong, I love all four members, but I think Paul's work rises above the rest.
it's probably true that nothing would have gotten done if it hadn't been for Maca after 'Revolver' on the other hand it was John Lennon's band --John Lennon was the leader of that band and they would have never gotten out of Liverpool without John Lennon out front in 1963.
@@Sirala6 I’d also add that we are lucky to have had so much more from Paul’s post-Beatles career and unlucky that John’s newly burgeoning phase of creative genius was cut horrendously short.
@@Sirala6 Early on it was Lennon. Later, McCartney..However, that is not a complete thought..Someone posted a quote by the poet, Robert Frost, alluding to this very question. "Which is more essential to water - hydrogen or oxygen?" There was no actual leader of the Beatles. Together, you could say, the two were perhaps the titular leaders of the group, since they wrote and produced the lions share of the material. Lennon, because of his age, at the time, probably was the driving force early on. Liverpool/Hamburg days, yes, I can see that. But I believe McCartney's style of writing emerged as the more commercially accessible, at a much higher rate of production, later on. I think that bugged John all to hell, too, because he didn't respect Paul's style of writing. He thought it to be a bit of fluff, at times. To him, his own writing was superior to Paul's. I believe he secretly WANTED to be seen as the actual leader, which made him resentful towards Paul. He had a humongous ego. It made him much less palatable to a larger audience. In other words, he wasn't as salable as Paul. I know it sounds that I knocking Lennon. Maybe just a little, but musically I have a deep abiding respect for him..Both equally brilliant. YIng is nowhere without the Yang..Just my opinion, for what it's worth.
@@Sirala6you are underrating Paul and what he did for them in the early days. John was never the sole leader from the moment Paul joined. Early Quarrymen members remember Paul leading the music sessions and arranging even then. Early Beatles engineers remember the same thing.
John was fine with Stuart in the band just because he looked cool even though he couldn’t play well. Paul wasn’t as he wanted to go far and Stuart wasn’t enough.
It was Paul’s song, Like Dreamers Do, that got them signed.
So it was Paul who got them the farthest in the beginning if anything and he always pushed them to be their best
“I can well remember even at the rehearsal at his house in Forthlin Road, Paul was quite specific about how he wanted it played and what he wanted the piano to do. There was no question of improvising. We were told what we had to play. There was a lot of arranging going on even back then."
- John Duff Lowe pianist on their first ever recording, In Spite of All the Danger
"I don’t want to take anything away from anyone, but production of the Beatles was very simple, because it was ready-made. Paul was a very great influence in terms of the production, especially in terms of George Harrison’s guitar solos and Ringo’s drumming. The truth of the matter is that, to the best of my memory, Paul had a great hand in practically all of the songs that we did, and Ringo would generally ask him what he should do. After all, Paul was no mean drummer himself, and he did play drums on a couple of things. It was almost like we had one producer in the control room and another producer down in the studio. There is no doubt at all that Paul was the main musical force. He was also that in terms of production as well. A lot of the time George Martin didn’t really have to do the things he did because Paul McCartney was around and could have done them equally well… most of the ideas came from Paul".
- Norman Smith, the Beatles engineer up until Rubber Soul
@@ewest14Great but besides the point. Paul could never attract others to "follow" him. Wings was "Paul" and a bunch of other guys plus Linda. He was not and could never be the leader of the Beatles. Did he have strong opinions and do most of the 'dirty work' in the studio? Yep. By 66 JL was mostly into LSD and GH was into religion. Paul filled a vacuum.
There is a plaque outside The Cavern which reads "Four Lads That Shook The World". How true. --- This reaction reminded me of one of the main factors in the appeal of this group. Their individual personalities were so strong and so personable with a strong dallop of cheekiness. Their first royal command performance was an unprecedented event. Rock 'n rollers playing for royalty??? They might as well have invited cave men or outlaws. The show went on without a hitch and they got to the last number. John Lennon then said ""For our last number, I'd like to ask your help," pause... "The people in the cheaper seats, clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you'd just rattle your jewelry." THAT was the Beatles.
That was fun. But what Paul was saying there was he was responding to critics basically who he thought were overhyping them. They were starting to incorporate all these interesting things into their songs which works so well musically, and the critics were identifying things from classical music like Aeolian cadences ... That remark and others were actually Incorporated on to some of the hype on the back of their albums! And he was just saying, hey man we don't know about any of that stuff. None of us has ever taken any music theory and we don't even know about that. If it shows up great, we're just trying to make good music. So in that sense, he was just being extremely honest and it's refreshing.
I wish you would cover one of their early press conferences; I know that there's footage of at least one of them somewhere, and it's where they're all at a table with microphones and they are so young and cheeky and they're just being bombarded all over the place was questions, some of them which are really inane, and you could see how lightning-fast their collective is; it is just hilarious.
How did you find America? Go to Greenland and turn left
After the Beatles broke up, McCartney formed the band Wings. They've got some tracks that really slap.
You should definitely react to more interviews! Definitely check out some more Beatles ones but also some Bob Dylan ones from the 60's
"He changed the culture at just 25". He did, and Lennon changed it even more. Insane influence those guys had.
I love this. I have watched every McCartney interview I can find but loved hearing your take/insight. He was (is) definitely smart, talented, witty, charming… but also hot! ‘67 was sexy McCartney as opposed to the “cute one.” He’s a genius.
There’s a delightful movie released in 1990(?) called “Impromptu”. It’s about Chopin, Liszt and several other French artists and aristocrats. Chopin and Liszt were indeed rock stars- with groupies and screaming, swooning fans. A very apt comparison by Mr McCartney.
It really seems to be a character trait of McCartney that he can't lie. You hear this again and again in different contexts. I like reaction on documentaries. Look, there are some interesting Beatles documentaries on TH-cam. And there is another really important: the Beatles anthology documentary - a vast work but were created with the collaboration of McCartney, Harrison and Starr in the 1990s. By the way, the two songs "Free as a bird" and "Real Love" were recorded as the ultimate last Beatles songs. I hope I was able to give you some inspiration.
Thank you! Finally something more about the Beatles (if not an actual song). Lennon's interviews are great as well. Especially the ones related to their records being burned in the south in US, and his statement about their popularity as compared to Jesus. Didn't go down too well to say the least.
Also the Mike Douglas interview sticks out in my mind, although that may just be because it's one I remember watching on TV. Of course the Bed In interviews are classic as well.
Wow, I haven't thought about that comparison of the Beatles and Jesus for years! As a teenager totally in love with music I was bewildered when several of my fellow teens reacted to those comments by destroying their Beatles albums. Thanks for your memory-stirring observations!
Paul always seemed to have a good head on his shoulders. He had good parents. His dad was musically gifted and yet down to earth. His mom, Mary, was a nurse who seemed to have been very nurturing . Although she died when he was young , she left him with a lovely disposition.
His Genius never left him !!! So at the top was later years
Great reaction, I'd love to see more like this.
Really good reaction in a new direction. Great isea. Thanks!
It was The Times music critic who compared their song "Not a Second Time" (one of my absolute faves from their v ,early years) to the "aeolian cadences and majestic something or others" to Mozart! Have you read any books at all about the whole Fab4 phenomenon? You really have to go from the ground upward to fully realise the overarching achievement of becoming the 4 most famous people on the planet by age 21/22.
SYEDBHAI Do you have a po box for gifts or whatever? I would love to send you something definitive but a fun not dry read.
The Beatles were absolutely one of a kind - what are the odds you'd get 4 people living near each other who were that talented, handsome, witty, likeable *and* gelled so well together. Says it all that Paul's generally considered the *least* funny of the group and he's a great interviewee and storyteller!
Excellent is the only word. Keep up your search, I am really enjoying your voyage of discovery.
Love your channel. Could you please react to David Gilmour - In Any Tongue (2016 live at Pompeii). yes the same pompeii as in 1972 with echoes. It is an incredible performance by David with a soaring guitar solo! performing at the age of 70, still sounding as young as ever.
I can imagine Beethoven's mother yelling from the next room "Ludwig! Turn that crap down, sounds like you're torturing the cat!" All things are relative I suppose. I seriously doubt the Beatles caused anyone to do drugs. There were other forces out these at the time. Looking at you Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters.
Have you ever read "Electric Kool Aid Acid Test" or "Tangerine Dream Flake Baby"? If not then highly recommend. Tune in, turn on, drop out!
@@DawnSuttonfabfour Yes, have read the 'Electric Kool Aid Acid Test", years ago. And the rallying cry of Kesey and the Merry Pranksters (and Timothy Leary) was to tune in, turn on, drop out. I was too young to embrace their philosophy, but I do know people who wholeheartedly did. Haven't read the "Tangerine Dream Flake Baby", also by Tom Wolfe, isn't it? An introduction to the 60s? I'll have to look it up.
That was so cool! You have such a different show than others. At first glance I thought "nah....boring". But since you were featuring it I figured I give it a go. So again. SO 😎 COOL
I love watching musicians interviews because it brings a new perspective when listening to their music! I’d highly recommend the Kurt Cobain interview where he’s wearing a blue flannel. It’s on Watch Mojos channel I believe
Very good, really enjoyed that one.
The minds of classical composers were nowhere near as distracted by technology as even the musicians of the 60's would have been. More hours free to compose, bend, arrange and expand upon music in their heads.
Love this!!
Brilliant. More 🎉 You generally get truth from The Beatles. Especially post-Beatles.
U also remind me of myself when i was young...I wanted to understand the current music and art, so, in my 20’s (1996 to 2006) i spent my time researching, which is what ur doing with ur channel....its really commendable & quite rare i think....most young people are too vapid and unaware for that kind of activity...ur lucky as f tho to have the internet, i had to spend all my time in libraries and book stores....and just as a footnote, of course there was internet in the early 2000’s but i wasnt to savvy then (im an artist, not a scientist), but it wasnt like t is now, so i spent a lot of time with books
the first interviewer keeps saying... 'but as a public figure"... as if the media isn't a "public" thing... Paul was asked a question and told the truth
Paul was too smart for the media. Still is.
Every type of music made in the 1970’s can trace it’s origins back to Abbey Road. If you listen to the album cold right now, you could see it easily. Folk, rock, some metal, near country hokum, new age, even a little bit of disco. It’s uncanny once you’ve realized it.
Not every type per se. Led Zeppelin, for example, were pretty clearly on their own concurrent trajectory to the Beatles during 1969 that led them to create albums like Led Zeppelin III or Physical Graffiti. Their work has origins far earlier the Beatles, as did many other bands and genres. The Beatles are a hugely integral part of music history, but it's important to recognize that they aren't the be all end all of every single type of music.
@@MedSurg420 All of the bands of the 60's were influenced by the blues (Zep and Stones are obvious examples) or rhythm and blues, including the Beatles. Lets not forget the criticism of Zep for plagiarism, as opposed to being on their own trajectory. Maybe "origins far earlier" was the problem - too close of a copy of other artists in certain instances - their own music, but maybe not quite. Of course today all of it would be labeled "cultural appropriation". So sad. Having said that, George got busted for the same with My Sweet Lord. How could music ever evolve without the benefit of past musicians?
@@bobguitarlearner8007 Kind of unexpected to steer the conversation over to the topic of plagiarism, which doesn't really have much to do with the greater point I was making. That point being, it's pretty unequivocally wrong to attribute "every type of music made in the 1970's" origins' to Abbey Road specifically. But to your point, I think you solved that criticism in your own comment by acknowledging that music cannot move forward without taking from the past and modifying. And in regards to George Harrison and My Sweet Lord, I think we should take the proper care to delineate the difference between 'plagiarism' and 'copyright infringement (as determined by a court of law).' They are similar and often overlap but are not the same thing.
@@MedSurg420 points taken. tks
Paul was damned if he did and damned if he didn't. The media plays games with themselves about that stuff all the time.
Great video reaction She was just 17 was reased 5 years earlier so he was doing the cultural change aged 20!! And he still does it with new album McCartney 3 He still pushes that envelope aged 80 plus
Lennon and McCartney are in the category of writing with George Gershwin, Kander and Ebb, Beethoven, Chopin, Carole King and all the greatest. Prolific.
LOVE that you reacted to some interviews with Paul, I have seen these two particular ones over the years, but I love seeing someone watching it for the first time. There are SO many interviews with Paul at various stages of his career and recently some good ones with Paul with STEPHEN COLBERT on his late night show. I would love to see you react to more Paul videos and the other Beatles as well, either solo or together. Also you should react to the video here on You Tube called "HOW THE BEATLES CHANGED THE WORLD, " perhaps you could do it in 2 or 3 parts.
Just want to say that I think You are a great reactor! Not only do you feel the music but you actually listen to the lyrics,and respond to how you think about their meaning! I have subscribed to channel,even though I have heard these song,over and over for years,you bring a fresh perspective in the reactions realm. Thank You Syed,keep doing what you do,and I for one will be watching, listening and giving you a thumbs up.
I’ve met him, he’s lovely
Pretty much all news media types were higher educated, often private school. They had no idea how to relate with razor sharp minds from outside London and the southeast who were not higher educated etc
Loved this
The Beatles were the first rip in tearing down the Iron Curtain. They did what the threat of American missiles could not do. They invaded young Soviet minds with Beatlemania. Their voices of "revolution" helped to topple the Berlin Wall and USSR which led to the creation of the new Russia. It was said Marxist-Leninism was ultimately replaced by McCartnist-Lennonism✌☮ PLEASE react to: The Beatles - Back In The U.S.S.R. (2018 Mix / Lyric Video) AND/OR the documentary: How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin Part 1/4
60’s interviews are great....that entire rock generation were just geniuses.....bob dylans tho? That dude was a comedic/genius/head-f#ck master, his natural,prey were the reporters, he messed them up....lennon was great too...andy warhol was hilarious to watch : “can u tell me the answers to these questions ur asking...ill say whatever u want me to” ...this paul mccartney interview is brilliant ....lou reed & david bowie’s interviews in the 70’s ....that generation was special
" no comment " is possible, or " next question"
FaB!
News flash, Beatles were more famous then any musician that has ever surfaced. For anyone that remembers Michael Jackson , the Beatles were MJ times four
The breakdown of their lyrics is why Lennon wrote “I am a Walrus”. Let them try and figure that one out
Dude, it's certainly off-topic, but I commented once about it and you liked it: will you please do ride the lightening by metallica. So many reactors will listen to the album but not that song. It's incredible and one of the top 5 metallica songs.
There's a great anecdote of John reading an early Beatles review and in the middle of it going: "Who the fuck is Shostakovich?" :D
We all did LSD back in the day but it has been 40 odd years since the last time and it won't fit in my mouth at this age, LOL! A little legal cannabis on the other hand works for me. Organics were always the best, mushrooms were always a great time. Music though is a drug all its own, straight or high, I get a reaction in my being when listening to great stuff. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶
Paul at his most charming. You should watch some Lennon interviews around the same time and see the difference between them when being interviewed.
Particularly Mozart was idol of his day.
❤😊
Totally enjoyed this video ❤ Just wanted to comment on Poul McCartneys father was not into classical Music in traditionel style. He was the Leader of a Jazz band ❤️ He played tromphet and piano. He used to intertain at there family gathrings. When his father Got too old to play, Poul McCartney took over ❤️👍
Mozart and Beethoven were the rock stars of their day.
And of course the interviews following the fiasco in Manila and them basically being booted out of the country.
Don't do 'LCD' ppl .. dangerous stuff :)
Don’t do any drugs, as it never does anyone ever good…..it’s a down hill thing to do.
All those coloured lights, flashing!!!

Quite right. Take 'shrooms instead.
Whenever I see something like "hip hop fan reacts to The Beatles" I always think to myself why would I watch a video that says "Hamburger flipper reviews five star restaurant"?
Great IDEA! (sorry)
"A 'CHARACTER' who shaped the culture of the 1960's ... "
You have no idea how unintentionally close to the truth your choice of words has brought you. Late 1966 was a key transitional period in which original Beatle James Paul McCartney was replaced in the band by William Shepherd who assumed Paul's identity and began to play the character as a role of a lifetime. That is why at this point in time "Paul"/William can be seen suddenly to be taking creative control of the band and using his seemingly newfound powers as a skilled multi-instrumentalist to spearhead and dominate the recording sessions for the revolutionary Sgt. Pepper album. The replacement also accounts for "Paul" prominently being cast to become the pop culture Pied Piper of psychedelic experimentation as a major component of The Beatles embarking on phase 2 of their Tavistock-directed psychological operation to effect massive social change throughout Western civilization.
We have seen these interviews many many times ! Son its nothing new and it was no big deal then and it's not a big deal now ! He was asked a couple times by reporters and we didn't hear any more about it ! Now John Lennon was the Beatles that got the most publicity in America he even was investigated by the FBI and kicked out of America for a time ! So it wasn't a big deal check out lennons stuff
Howard Goodall talking about who's 20th century music will stand the test of time, like the "classics" th-cam.com/video/ZQS91wVdvYc/w-d-xo.html
Hindsight of course is 60/40, but it would've been fun if when the interviewer asked where he got it, Paul had said something like, "Yer Mum, actually, she rang me up the other day after she heard you'd booked this interview, and said, 'see if ya can't slip some in his tea, luv. He's such a tight-arsed, predictable, establishment ninny.'"
LOL
I hardly think of Sir Paul as a Scouser, but he is from Liverpool. LOL! Being from E. London are you a Wet Spammer?
nice reactions - you should try Lennon and McCartney interviewed together like this one in 68 th-cam.com/video/0iO5ZaZNZm0/w-d-xo.html or this one th-cam.com/video/npktMPQFjCY/w-d-xo.html - there quite fascinating period pieces
Ah yes, magic Alex!
Love it Syed! If you're planning to make another one of these you absolutely can't do better than Frank Zappa. Streets ahead of the pack in terms of having a lot to say, the balls to say it and the articulacy to say it well. This old interview on why pop music got worse over time has been doing the rounds for a while now: th-cam.com/video/KZazEM8cgt0/w-d-xo.html
I was crazzy for Zappa! I don't know why more people back then weren't into him. Went to see 6 times he put on carnival like shows. I know Syed would relate easily to him and his "special intellect". Besides I've never heard any review of him anywhere. (side note: I had Zappa 4 President bumper stickers all over my cars)
@@com4tme So jealous that you got to see him while he was still around!
Thanks for the link to his interview! Now I'm campaigning for more of him. His niche is his own for sure. BTW, I had no idea for like 5yrs that he lived so close to me in the 70s! You never know who's just around the corner! (Get it?)
@@com4tme 😆
i am a bit confused by your titlecard for this reaction... "Paul McCartney Changed The Culture at Just 25"
imho, i believe the wording should have been "The Beatles Changed The Culture by Their 20s" all members of the band shared the songwriting and charisma. 🥰
otherwise, another beautiful reaction. thank YOU!
