'Out of this world coolness' LOL that's very accurate, and he behaved all his life with that stylish quality of his, even as a very young guy, branded as the quiet one, and also always relaxed, I love it!!!
George was a classy gentleman. I like how he said "It's alright, it's alright" when the interviewer apologized for "prying". :) He just seemed like a nice, normal man. (and good looking!) I also think "Cloud 9" had his best singing, like he actually got better as he got older. He had a really nice tenor voice.
In this interview, I find that he was more immediately aware in time to give a proper concise answer. He didn't try to avoid anything - he just went with it. It almost didn't seem like it was George Harrison speaking. That was just really, really good. Thank you.
A great interview. Thank you for posting! I love all of the Beatles. I never knew that Paul McCartney did not show up for the Beatles' induction into the Hall of Fame.
This is the most open and elongated interview I've ever seen with George. I think he had really come to grips with his post-Beatles status, relationships with Paul and Ringo and was very frank over many subjects. Paul said publically that George was his 'baby brother' and they held hands at George's deathbed for a long time. I think a lot of healing had taken place over the years - which is great to know...
Wow. He just says it like he thinks, without worrying how it's going to sound. Very brave and a little shocking. One thing I'll never doubt is his sincerity. Go, George.
I wished Jeff Lynne and George would have done much more music together. It was really a fantastic chimestry and excellent harmonies with the Traveling Wilburys...
George: "Jeff Lynne who has such a great voice made me a better singer". One of the few reasons why all the Beatles and Jeff Lynne (Electric Light Orchestra) had mutual love and admiration.
George, Ringo and Yoko (on behalf of John) filed a lawsuit against Paul just a few months earlier. It would have been a bit odd for Paul to show up at the HoF induction under such pretense.
Thanks for posting this. Unlike one other person who commented here, I don't find George more honest here than in several other contexts in which he talked about the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame dinner - just more specific, particularly the comment that Linda (McCartney) was cursing and wanted to go to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Really like the interviewer, too.
Thank you Jeff Lynne! Jeff Lynne is the most versatile musician i can think of. Like Paul McCartney said: "He can do it all". Tom Petty: "Jeff Lynne is the best overall musician i have ever met": th-cam.com/video/25fyCsfsLeU/w-d-xo.html George Harrison: th-cam.com/video/CETR-zQTzdc/w-d-xo.html
Since Mr. Harrison’s passing, I’m sure Paul regrets not showing up at the RRHOF. That was a dumb move. It wasn’t a reunion it was supposed to be a function to receive the respect and recognition for their body of work and their place in music. Leave the BS aside for ONE night and get your award!
I love you, George. You tell it like it is. Paul is ignorant for not going to the Hall Of Fame. He is the one who lost out. You other guys went and had a great time. Good for you! I love you! ❤️🌹❤️
@rmr355 IKR? I gave up on taking it seriously at all from about the point where "George Harrison" said that the recording was made the day after he was stabbed in the lung. How could he talk so well with severely damaged lugs? XP Couldn't even do a Liverpudlian accent...
George could be honest about things without being rude and nasty (versus John Lennon who also said what he thought but had a vulgar mouth about it.) I agree with him about Paul btw. Actually I think George was too kind, I don't believe Paul was badly advised I think he just chickened out and used the "business differences" thing as an excuse.
Did anyone look into the fact that it was a mockumentery ? Like Spinal tap. A lot of things weren't true in it lol It was making fun of it. However the backing tracks were very real.
Note: I meant no spam here. There were several people on the page who needed to know of the WIRED Italia article, and in some cases thought the Last Testament of George Harrison was just funny or was an accurate PID movie. It was neither. So I replied to each, sometimes slightly differently, sometimes copying. I did not do it to be a spam idiot. Just so you know.
@IchibodCrane Not only that but in the documentary "George Harrison" talks about the let it be album after Abbey Road. Meanwhile any Beatle fans knows that Let It Be was made before Abbey Road. Its just retarted. Pisses me off some one would pretend to be Harrison and claim Paul is dead. The only weird thing that is true is that in the magical mystery tour sleeve their is a picture of the band and Paul looks really weird. Its just dumb...
I never really got int George ... I loved as my guitar gently weeps, and Here comes the sun. But John will always be my favorite Beatle.... Although he was an asshole at times. Lol
LOL, did anyone else see the "Paul McCartney Really Is Dead" so-called documentary? (If not, it claims to be George Harrison's final testament.) I mean really, they went as far to replace the p in Paul from this interview with an f, so he would say "Faul" as in "false Paul". The film was pretty comical. XP I wonder what wonder what Paul McCartney thinks of it.
@@soulmatesjenaviveandsars7037 that’s why it’s not his true opinion because he wouldn’t risk getting killed saying something negative about Billy. This proves that he is talking about Paul. Why isn’t anything happening to the people on the internet exposing Billy Shears? You would think they would be in a lot of trouble for talking about it
Yes they did change to F. Movie=disinfo (misdirection) on PID case; yes there are errors made in PID citizen research, but PID case does not hinge on those. -- E.g.: a real& ugly clue - "Paul ... Died ... Paul is very ... Bloody" in 1st verse background (forward!) in Blue Jay Way. (Not mono re-release but stereo and movie.) -- Clues aside: PID now =proper photo forensics: proportions medically assessed from good frontal, jaw-closed photos, properly compared, well explained: WIRED Italia 2009.
Say batman are you also a batman fan,cos I just enjoyed reading your post here about George I am also a George fan and do miss him alot ..and Paul what could I say about him George said it best Hypocrite even today.
George is a beautiful soul and I love his music. But It pisses me off when he's saying about Paul got more money from the beatles then his and ringo ..ofcourse for god sake him and John created the beatles and wrote most of the songs and in early years George didnt write anything or 1 song in a album how can he put him self as same league as Paul and John
The Paul since Sgt. Peppers is not the original Paul. He's an imposter although a very good musician. Look up the interviews before and after 1966. How does a nice, humble, smart Paul turn into an arrogant, rambling jerk who can't get along with the others?
They should have all gotten equal pay since they were a group, also if Paul was so great then why was the first Beatle to have a number one song as a solo artist George Harrison? John started & named the band.
@@patriciacathcart6710 many reasons. Pics and interviews of before and after 1966 show Paul to be a different person. Before he's humble, smart, low key but after he's arrogant and rambling. There are differences in appearance. Bio Paul has a rounder head and is shorter than Faul (false paul). It's pretty incredible and I laughed at it as crazy for decades until I looked into it. I just got the Memoirs of Billy Shears which is supposed to explain a lot but am looking out for disinfo. The guy playing the current Paul McCartney is a fraud. But then, he saved the band and kept it going. Also, no touring after 1966. Major change in type of music. Didn't get along with Lennon.
George and Jeff really understood each other. Both of them were introverted, yet direct and sincere.
George was such an honest heartfelt guy!!! ☺️
That he truly was!!!!
He is missed.
Harrison had such grace - truly a soulful man.
God rest his soul.
There is no beatle I respected more than George with his down to earth realness and his out of this world coolness. An amazingly sleek and classy guy.
Yes.
'Out of this world coolness' LOL that's very accurate, and he behaved all his life with that stylish quality of his, even as a very young guy, branded as the quiet one, and also always relaxed, I love it!!!
Really like the interviewer in this. Sometimes they ask the dumbest questions. This guy is okay. And George, as always, so honest and decent!
+Holly Potthoff Yeah I lived in Australia at that time, the interviewer well known TV guy there, good guy.
I also resided in Australia at the time and used to watch "The Midday Show" regularly but I'm not sure if I saw this interview.
George was a classy gentleman. I like how he said "It's alright, it's alright" when the interviewer apologized for "prying". :) He just seemed like a nice, normal man. (and good looking!)

A great interview. Thank you for posting! I love all of the Beatles. I never knew that Paul McCartney did not show up for the Beatles' induction into the Hall of Fame.
George was a kind soul........
Oh how I admire George and his honesty...as well as his wonderful sense of humor. Thank you so much for posting this interview.
thank you four posting this. RIP George. I miss him sooo much.
George was a class act. A great husband and father. RIP
Jeff Lynne and George Harrison you can't ask for anything better.
Music Lover
George & Albert Hammond .
Do you think they sound alike ?
Or look alike ? - not now, Albert looks like rock balboa, but when he was young.
fave beatle indeed!
Cloud 9, wonderful record 🌟

It was the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cleveland... only Ringo and George showed up.
yep it was the nicest thing to do for interviewer. and i badly miss george and his smile..
That documentary was extremely tongue-in-cheek, I spent the whole time laughing.
Me too, but I like George as a person and some of his musical ideas.
Wow George is really laying into Paul. I've never seen anything like it. I don't think he's ever talked like this on US or UK TV.
But at the same time very loving
George, Ringo and Yoko (on behalf of John) filed a lawsuit against Paul just a few months earlier. It would have been a bit odd for Paul to show up at the HoF induction under such pretense.
Ha! George still has those Beatle-quick quips in him!! Miss you so much, Georgie!!
Good reporter and questions!
Mr. Martin was previously a "60 Minutes" reporter.
Ray seems nice, George is great

You never got "spin" with George.
i love the beatles!!!!!!
"We all have to have forgiveness too" George. except for paul not going the beatles award, of course.
This is George ❤

George didn't mince words, did he?
what a find..... you tube is an absolute god send....it.s only flaw is letting "lowlife" swear which spoils it for others ......thank you opulent7
I really think that the word that should have his name next to it is"listen".I think that his life taught him the meaning.
I feel fine...and getting better
The video CLIP MY MIND SET ON YOU, who dance IS HE!!! NOT IS A DOBLE!!! REALLY!!!! IS HE!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! INCREDIBLE!!! I KNOW!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love you, George. You tell it like it is. Paul is ignorant for not going to the Hall Of Fame. He is the one who lost out. You other guys went and had a great time. Good for you! I love you! ❤️🌹❤️
3:37 where the hell did *that* question come from. who asks something like that out of nowhere during a happy interview??
So out of pocket
5:01 I Feel Fine 5:18 Gettting Better
2:51 He clearly says Paul, not fucking faul. Now put this "Paul is dead" tripe to rest, please.
Clearly your a man that knows next to nothing about his death.
Because HE'S NOT DEAD.
tradehead 2 Beatles have died, John in 1980, George in 2001. Paul and Ringo are alive and well. Give it a fucking rest you worm.
One (1) IS LEFT
Vladimir Kool-Aid lol
@IchibodCrane I did see that documentary..though I can see it actually happening...it's terrible how they sunk by changing what George said.
COOL HE DID A BACK FLIP
@IchibodCrane
yes... it was hilarious. i'm glad to hear the real interview, though
no he didnt, he clearly says Paul every time
@rmr355 IKR? I gave up on taking it seriously at all from about the point where "George Harrison" said that the recording was made the day after he was stabbed in the lung. How could he talk so well with severely damaged lugs? XP Couldn't even do a Liverpudlian accent...

Faul... he said Paul
Jarrod Prince wtf? Lol
Were you there?

Its just dumb...
What year?
8.08 - 8.16 . Thought that was interesting .
@winshinsin Here here, mate! XD
George first dissolved his ego on pure LSD. The meditation came later
Liverpudlian... P and F xan come out similar... he says "Paul"
He says Paul but he knows he is Faul.......lol
into sorry spelling error
Ray is a nice guy, but come on Ray, was the Beatles wig really necessary?
Agreed. Though Macca can be friendly, too.
I never really got int George ... I loved as my guitar gently weeps, and Here comes the sun. But John will always be my favorite Beatle.... Although he was an asshole at times. Lol

George Harrison is an absolute savage 🤣 ❤ He wasn't afraid to say his true opinion on Billy Shears
If he was actually true he would have called him Billy instead of Paul. Billy would have shown up for the RARHOF
If he did that he would have gotten into big trouble, this is top secret. He would risk getting himself killed.
@@soulmatesjenaviveandsars7037 that’s why it’s not his true opinion because he wouldn’t risk getting killed saying something negative about Billy. This proves that he is talking about Paul.

Yeah
why should the beatles stage a reunion at the "Hall of Fame"???? Yeah for a billion dollars maybe.

Clare Kuehn Paul is not dead
Say batman are you also a batman fan,cos I just enjoyed reading your post here about George I am also a George fan and do miss him alot ..and Paul what could I say about him George said it best Hypocrite even today.
I ain't had a white one since 1990.
Say what?
He appears to be... lol
I never liked Paul and I never will...
George is my favorite Beatle ❤️
You mean William.
Paul's dead though. At least I believed it The beatles say it themselves many many times in their recording !
Give an example
@@NostalgiaCassetteCity the end of While My Guitar Gently Weeps George cries out "Paul, Paul, Paul..." during the final solo.
George is a beautiful soul and I love his music.

George's songwriting (and instrumental) skills were most definitely NOT on a par with Paul's.
Any DECENT composer of music will attest to this fact.
It's about the deal they had record co. Broke the deal millions of dollars.
I am pretty sure he could have written more in the Beatles days but wasn't allowed to
The Paul since Sgt. Peppers is not the original Paul. He's an imposter although a very good musician. Look up the interviews before and after 1966. How does a nice, humble, smart Paul turn into an arrogant, rambling jerk who can't get along with the others?

Faul has longer and sharper nose....Google it
I was born with a stub nose. now look at it.
@DrBeatlesfan420 he says faul on the second time, i still think paul is dead
Why???
@@patriciacathcart6710 many reasons. Pics and interviews of before and after 1966 show Paul to be a different person. Before he's humble, smart, low key but after he's arrogant and rambling.
