A life spent listening to the Beatles is not a life wasted.
Christopher L you speak fax
Y E S
Amen
Indeed
I needed to see this comment
Ringo's drumming and Paul's basslines are heavenly.
Hence why they are still alive
heavenly
HEAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH
Heave (heave)
HEAVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@@TheRamZero You know what? yeah.
Don't forget about those guitar tones. Transistor vox tone!
Paul McCartney’s bassline in this song is pure perfection.
facts
It sounds like taxman but in a different key
❤
Especially considering it was actually played much faster than we hear it here, then slowed down. :)
What I noticed too...and the psychedelic sound....Ringo is amazing and says this is his FAVORITE song to play.
Most important band in pop/rock history, period.
no doubt about that
Never heard of them until today. A friend of mine suggested this song.
Pretty good, but nothing like today’s music .
@@b5maddogSo true
@@b5maddog”nothing like today’s music.” You are so right. This is much better than today’s music.
Nah... Green Day is better
Ringo was recently quoted as choosing this as his favorite Beatles song. That's why I'm here.
Hahhah me too..
I can see why. Ringo’s drumming is phenomenal on this song.
Same
He said: "I feel as though it was someone else playing." "I was possessed!"
@@kubadzejkob332 so interesting. He may have been. Sometimes the creative flow is so powerful it's as if the artist is just the conduit for something bigger coming through. Makes me wonder about the afterlife and if artists who've passed on can re-enter temporarily while the living are so powerfully engaged.
This is the perfect rock song... John's haunting vocals, George's understated guitar, Paul's incredible bass lines, and Ringo's virtuoso drum work.
Damn skippy!
Incomparable.
What did you smoked?
it's one of the best Beatles song for their individual contributions
It is! It's a lovely pop song masking a lovely hard rock song.
Is it me, or is Ringo's drum playing phenomenal in the song?
Ringo himself said this is his best drum work, since the song was recorded at like 1,5x the speed and then slowed. Therefore, he had to play ridiculously fast and precisely
I personally feel this is an underrated masterpiece. It's one of my top favorites of theirs. It's just so good.
'Under-rated?'.......people have been raving over this track for well over 50 years.
@@josephtravers777 Well, I mean it in the way that virtually no one I know has ever heard of it. It's not on an album and when I tell the people I know in real life that this is one of my favorite tracks they tell me they have never heard of it. Glad that it's raved about for over 50 years but still a lot don't know about it. That's what I meant.
@@userunknown2466 Glad you are turning on younger people to it. It was one of the first songs w/ backwards masking recorded. A year before it started becoming popular on psychedelic releases.
you need to put that bong down for awhile. ((:
If nothing else this song proves that Ringo was not just a good drummer but a GREAT drummer.
For 99% of bands, this would be their best track. For The Beatles, buried as a B side that didn’t even make it to an album.
Yeah, that says it all
Simply incredible when you think about it from that angle!!
They not included songs from their singles in the albums
For 99% of bands, All Things Must Pass, Hear Me Lord, and Isn't It A Pity would be their best work. For the Beatles, it wasn't even worth their time to record them
That one came of 45 you know what I mean
I may be stuck in a time warp, but 2021, Beatles are STILL the best ever.
Good place to be stuck.
Started listening to them in the mid 70s (born in 1966) and never stopped.
Stay in that time warp-their music was and still is the best
nope... you're right as rain...
I will never say that they are the best ever, because who am I to say what the future lies ahead (one hopes better things), but I can definitely say that they were without a shadow of a doubt the best artistic act that ever happened in the 20th Century. Nobody can change my mind about that. No other artist or collective could ever top it, no Stanley Kubrick, no Francis Ford Coppola, no James Joyce, no Virginia Woolf, no Gabriel García Márquez, no Vincent Van Gogh, no Shigeru Miyamoto, could ever afford the sheer massiveness of The Beatles. They are for the ages. And don't get me wrong, those are some of the best artists of the 20th Century, but while they might go out out of style (and they do I guarantee you make you raise a smile), The Beatles is something I'm so clearly sure will outlive any other artistic device ever conceived it makes me believe there's a God out there.
This song showcases the best talent of all four Beatles. George's lead guitar sound more like church bells than a guitar. Paul's bassline supplements the melody beautifully. Ringo's best drumming ever, and he does it so effortlessly. And John? Just the greatest words, melody, and performance. Perfection.
Well said..
@@MFclips Paul's bass is amazing on this and many other songs. They had a synergy that only happens once in a great while 🎧
Incredible songwriting from John combined with incredible playing, singing and production. Perfection on all accounts
You forgot the vocal harmonies. Not a sour note, which was something the Hard Days Night era Beatles couldn't quite get right.
People need praise Lennon’s rhythm guitar playing. The man had a fantastic ear for tone.
Just in case anyone had any lingering doubts about the Beatles' absolute brilliance.
Anyone with such doubts needs a brain transplant
I've never experienced that doubt. They were magical.
This doesn’t prove my doubts wrong. If anything it proves me right…
@@playlistmaker90125 explain?
Ha. Amen. :)
Ringos drumming here is simply outstanding.
He has said it's the Beatles track that he is most proud of.
this and Tomorrow Never Knows are probably his best performances
He was unbelievably hot that year.
I keep hearing that...what is so special about his drumming here? I mean, it’s good but i don’t get the “his best drumming” stuff.
I read an article by drum session legend Kenny Aronoff in which he said he used to make fun of Ringo's drumming until some magazine asked him to do a breakdown of this song. It blew Kenny's mind that Ringo never repeated a part in this song - every verse is different, as is every chorus. In effect, it's a 3-minute drum solo carrying the rest of the song.
The perfect Beatles song. Ringos drumming and Paul’s bass are unreal.
Paul is actually playing the riff he will later use on "Taxman"...
@@TheAerovons Paul ain't riffin', he's soloing, the whole way through.
@@OneEyedKeys Uh....hardly lol....the main lick in RAIN is what he uses in Taxman. Take a listen.
@@OneEyedKeys Right? "Riff" LOL One of the most brilliant basslines but he's riffin' Taxman? Which also has a great bassline but it's not THIS bassline.
GizziesGirl2 They’re not exactly the same but they’re very close. Here’s a video about it th-cam.com/video/zQafrKFPWH8/w-d-xo.html
Lyrics dont normally mean all that much to me, but "Can you hear me? That when it rains and shines, it's just a state of mind," sticks with me for whatever reason. It's my favorite part of the song
Thats because you can hear him. Now what is he saying?
John's reedy voice Can you heeeeaaaar me. LOL. The whole band kills here.
It's the yin yang❤
ACID IS BEAUTIFUL
That's the key line for sure
I'm 65 years old and incredibly , only heard this song for the first time two weeks ago. From the very first listen it struck me as a masterpiece. A truly superlative recording. The first thing that grabs you by the scruff of the neck is Ringo's drumming. The next thing that hits you is Paul's bass.. But that's not all. This song gives and gives. A masterful performance justifying their position as the greatest band of all time.
You only heard this song recently!?! 😳
@@lindaslattery8341 this song isnt that well known among the general public
What! Your LAME!
Welcome brother
Where have been the last 65 years? I heard this when I was 8 or 9 years old. My older brothers and sisters had about every 45rpm and album put out.
Every Beatles video:
Paul: Always looking like he's actually enjoying himself.
John: Occasionally cracks a smile.
Ringo: Concentration/Boredom.
George: Always looking like he wants to be somewhere else.
George’s smile is the rarest but the best
Correct - except for perhaps their earlier vids where Paul and John are consistently giggling with each other.
@Caleb Reader ikr? That’s why I love the Let It Be album cover! George has a big smile in that photo!
@@nightshadespectre409 Indeed. Of the four, he's got the best pic on the cover.
George really is somewhere else!
Ringo's drum.. Paul's bass.. John's voice.. WOW!!
Don't forget George's coolness
George’s guitar is great in this just year how it blends
John did have a great voice. It was a very distinctive voice, unique, pleasant. I wish he could have kept it together. But in the end, JOhn had a tough early life it took its toll in his later years. John gave us a lot. I wish he had been able to give us even more. But he did give us a lot, as half of the greatest writing team in history. Of course, Music did not really get going till the 50s and the Beatles "Revolutionized" it. Love the Beatles.
Don't forget georgr
George’s riff?
John Lennon made everything look easy. What a great musician! His vocals on this track are so on point.
And the lyrics! So acid rock, so far ahead of his time.
@@paulazimmerman-taylor324g
Their royal albert hall performance is incredible, johns singjng at that gig was otherworldy and he didnt break a sweat
Don't understand why John hated his own voice ... His singing is thrilling, especially in this song.
He was an immature narcissist with a touch of the egomaniac thrown in.
This must be the blueprint for Britpop. The sound of the song, Lennon´s phrasing, Lennon´s look.
Definitely a blueprint for Noel Gallagher, anyroad.....👍
@@noelsalisbury7448Oasis were actually called The Rain originally after this song so go figure haha
You can see that in the song Who Feels Love by Oasis.
Sunsheeeyiiiiine
@@Laura-fh3sc thanks you just ruined this song for me
Who says Ringo can’t drum? His drumming in this song is spot on.
nobody says that
Anyone who says that is a moron
I've seriously never understood why everybody always says that. It seems like it's changing. He's a great drummer even technically, not to mention musically -- and before you think about the historical context. I always think about the figure of the _drummer_ in rock before the Beatles: it basically didn't exist. Ringo created it.
Listen to *ANY* Beatles number and the drumming will be exactly right for it. Ringo's expertise was in judging what the song needed and then playing it without over-elaboration.
Ockham's Razor states that what can be done with less is done in vain with more. Personally, I agree.
Always spot on
This would have fitted so well on Revolver
i think it’s great as a single tbh
LP D'A even if the time wasn’t right, this feels like a perfect song for Rubber Soul to me
Well it was recorded during the Revolver sessions.
What?? This song is such a Rubber Soul song
Fabrício Núbile I always see rubber soul and revolver as a double album. They’re very similar
This is the perfect song to listen to on a rainy day
Yes, doing that right now!
Perfect song anyday anytime😊
Along with another song with the same name by dragon
It feels more like backround music for while your outside travelling somewhere, like a train or car
I listened to this on my headphones in a tent as it poured down rain at biblical levels on the Isle of Skye. It was quite an experience.
Sounds like something that just came out last week from some new indie band. Unreal. What a band.
Right?? Timeless...
Exactly what I was thinking!
One of their most under-rated tracks, an early psychedelic classic
Honestly one of my favorite tracks they produced.
Yes it’s a transition between beat music and early psychedelia
@@lorissantarsiero5849 yes, and If I needed Someone, I Wanna Hold Hand, She Loves You and Youre Gonna Lose That Girl.
@@lorissantarsiero5849 The most under rated Beatle song ever.. Because Paperback writer was so heavily promoted, rightfully so. Rain was an after thought.. To me this was Ringo's best drumming of the early days.. John actually mention this song when asked about Ringo's drumming.. When John was making a solo album he turned to the studio drummer and said.. why can't you drum like Ringo?? That's how much he appreciated his drumming..
Ben De Silva Jr.
Ringo is so happy because he finally gets to play his instrument in a music video instead of holding a bicycle or using a home trainer or whatever :p
RIngo: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE RAIN MOTHEFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLISTERS!!!! FINGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (destroy the scenary using the drums) YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe they recorded this video at Abbey Road Studios.
Yeah he didn't forget this time 😂
He said in the book, The Big Beat, that it was his best drumming ever.
@@MrSahansdal Haha I came here to say that!
The Beatles 1966 songs like Rain, Taxman, And your bird can sing etc, had a huge influence on New wave bands in the late 70s like the Jam and XTC and 90s Brit pop bands like Oasis. The imagination and creativity the Beatles got out of just guitar, bass, drums, and backward tapes in 1966 was astonishing.
And broadly speaking, in American rock
Not sure about XTC but The Dukes of Stratosphere carried this off perfectly 😊
I was thinking of the XTC song 'Tower of London' influenced by 'Rain' The Dukes... I will have to check them out dont know their music. Thanks@@colinhoward2064
I couldn't agree more. Those who are dismissive of the Beatles need to consider what rock music was like before they came along and what it sounded like as a result of the music they recorded.
@@richardbaker3000 Yep. I even think Jimi Hendrix's classic album 'Are you experienced' was heavily influenced by 'Revolver''
One of their best and was "only" a B-side. So impactful that Oasis based their entire sound on it.
It's no coincidence that Oasis' first name was Rain.
Isn’t that the truth?
The Beatles B sides were better than 90% of their contemporaries' A sides. Oasis tried to be The Beatles and failed. Miserably.
@@lexdunn4160 They were still an impactful band though.
Not really. Most people recognized them for Beatle wannabes with all of the ambition and none of the talent.@@simplytom1213
The quiet confidence of knowing you are light years ahead of everyone else.
Still
@@johnkurtz7705 Even more so in this 21st century...
light years are measured in time...
I thought lightyears was distance
@@devonhublit984 no, a light-year is a measure of distance, not time.
The greatest band of all time
Indeed
Agree
agreed
Yes
I agree 👍🏽
One of my favorites from the Beatles. Ringo's drumming is top notch!
He can’t even do a drum roll and knows zero rudiments…
So. Fucking. What! He has the greatest gift any musician can have...........he plays to the song. That is all that matters.@@playlistmaker90125
@@playlistmaker90125 hahahahahaha jealous of ringo cope
@@playlistmaker90125you know nothing of drumming then. Drummers better than you swear by Ringo’s playing.
@@luiginotcool what exactly is there to be jealous of? That girls scream for him? I’m not jealous. Most of those girls anyway are now 75 or dead…
Can we stop for a moment and just admire John's shades here?
he always had his own style, wither wearing hats, sun glasses u can see he was the band leader
At one point, I feared the Beatles will be forgotten one day. But like Beethoven and Mozart, their music is forever immortal
Not anytime soon. My 3 year old is a big fan.
I think the fact they they are as popular as ever over 1/2 a century later and still so beloved and respected confirms it will be a really long time before they are forgotten. As a matter of fact my money would be on that they won't be forgotten until or unless all of human history is somehow erased or destroyed.
@@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306 ...Their music is and forever will be eternal !!!
Huge fan, 19
Good music is timeless
I swear to god this is one of the most impressive and complete compositions ever created. This really showcases every Beatle at their very best, not only as individuals but as a unit. From the amazing, innovative bass-line to the rampaging, flow-state drumming to the droning, dreamlike guitar rift and of course the poignant lyrical skill of Lennon that pulls you into a world that you can REALLY visualize. On top of that, when everything’s put together it blends so seamlessly, like a perfect puzzle; much like the vocal harmony that is literally like crack to my ear. It’s like the whole song is in a perfectly balanced counterpoint between all instruments and voices.
Perfectly described. Sublime.
Amen
Couldn’t agree more. Every one of them was genius
Very Indian esk.
Very well said. I agree with all of this.
I love Paul's bass in this song!
Prove it
Although the video shows Paul playing his Hofner, he actually recorded the song using his Rickenbacker 4001S. Combined with Geoff Emerick's innovative use of a bass speaker as a microphone, that gave a much punchier, heavier sound than the Hofner. Same setup for Paperback Writer and most of the Revolver album.
@@FenderBassMustang yep
Many people Rain was Ringo's best drumming, but I say Ticket to Ride had some of the best percussion!!!
@@FenderBassMustang With the exception of Let it Be/Get Back and an occasional Fender, the Ric was his main bass in the studio years, and certainly for his most inventive playing in 66-67 and on Abbey Road.
What is so magical about The Beatles is that while all the pieces of what they did could be found in classical music, blues, jazz, early rock, and elsewhere... there was NO ONE who could have put them all together like that and made such shockingly original music all things considered. The Beatles were - and still are - unbelievable. And as a drummer I can't ever take my eyes off that lovely, minimalist kit of Ringo's with the iconic logo... the ultimate drumset for the ultimate time-keeper...
i agree ..
Agree!!
Also as a fellow drummer, I want to state that Ringo is a master at staying in his lane and never “over-drumming” the songs.
And his Sound, his tuning, his approach is as unmistakable to the ear as any other considered great drummer.
The bass! The drums! The vocals! They really are the best band of all time.
It's not even close!
You got that right!
Yep I'm 70 and grew up with their music, I haven't heard anyone else better them.
@@TonyBurke100 And the world shall NEVER hear anyone better
@@robertthacher🤡
One of the things that makes the Beatles so infectious is because they are always smiling and genuinely having such a good time together.
They were born to play together. When John met Paul and they discovered they had very similar musical tastes, they developed a wordless language. As they began to try to write their own songs, each became familiar with the process the other employed, and in their secret language of feel, they were able at times to finish each other's sentences, metaphorically speaking. But songwriting was something they felt obligated to do. Playing live together was more of a compulsion.
In this video's case, you mean stoned on some great weed.
No matter which one came up with the song . they all bought in with their best effort . That's strong .
2:02 That smile 🥹
Paul and George at 2:15
A sonic marvel. Everything is amazing: Ringo's drums, Paul's bass, George's guitar, John's voice. A musical masterpiece.
Everything about this song (& album) was innovative: the psychedelic vocals, unique bass line and drumming!!!!
Incredible, considering it was recorded in 1966!
if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris
Isn’t on an album
@@beaupatten9902 yeah, you’re correct; I mistakenly wrote “album”, but it’s the side B of the Paperback Writer single, thx
quite possibly the most Beatlesque song of all time...Johns always confident vocals...McCartneys gorgeous bass line...Georges classic jingle guitar ...and last but not least Ringos incredible
tasty drumming...Thank you God for the Beatles...!!
Wow, you nailed it for all four of them!!!!
If I remember correctly Paul is playing the guitar here
@@paninovevo1162 No, not on this one. Guitars by George and John. George is playing the main riff. Paul plays the killer bassline
Lennon masterpiece, his awaken to change "tomorrow never" rain, she said! Fucking amazing
All time favorite Lennon song, simple yet from left field for 1966
Lennon's songs always have an amazing dream-like quality, no other artist has been able to do that quite like him.
Yes,especially Dear Prudence,
@@jerrydiem7755 Yep and I'm only sleeping
I agree and was going to make more suggestions but there are to many to mention and I'm lazy. Discover them for yourselves.
Yep, that middle eight section of “Dr. Robert” is like Pink Floyd before Pink Floyd. Also “Across the Universe”, “#9 Dream”, “Julia”, “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, “Strawberry Fields”, “Mind Games”, “Tomorrow Never Knows”, etc all have that DREAM hypnotic trance state to them
@ Cranberry Crunch That dream-like quality was a result of three factors: doing a lot of acid, having the greatest producer in the world in George Martin to be able to translate your musical ideas into realities sound-wise, and being a brilliant songwriter to begin with. Which Lennon certainly was.
A complete masterpiece in under 3 minutes
Can't believe how easy they make this look. Staggering talent.
Ringo sounded as if he had 4 or 5 floor- toms and snares ....great performance
I recall an interview he gave in which he was asked which Beatles track was his best work, and he said this one. He told us that he knows his own style well, but that this number was almost unrecognizable to him, and that he didn't think he'd be able to reproduce it. He's been called the king of feel - here's good example of that.
Yes .... How he got so much out of that kit is amazing.. And the tie is so Cool
Sorry. I’ll have to go back and listen a second time bc I was mesmerized by Paul’s bass playing the first time through
Pete never could have pulled this off.
Ringo's input to the band's sound is often overlooked... I sometimes refer to him as 'the 4th Beatle'.
Those drums! That bass! STILL UNBELIEVABLE! 🤯
the drums are ok I guess, he's no Keith Moon :P
The bass is awesome of course
It's not about technical proficiency. It's about the creativity and musicality of the fills Ringo plays in this song.
Ah, c'mon now - Moon is fantastic! But he's no Ringo Starr. Ringo was *indisputably* the best drummer for The Beatles.
Oh Comparing Keith Moon to Ringo Starr is ridiculous, they have two completely different styles of drumming
well i didn't think people would take that comment so seriously, i even put the tongue out emote!
i like both don't worry but keith is my fav after neil peart
The Best there is, the best there was and the Best there ever will be
Born in 1960, the Beatles will always be the Apple of my ears, eyes, and my ♥.
I'm a 62. But your so right
Then I guess it's safe to say you love them to the _Core._ I'm 1959 by the way. Glad to be here with the rest of you, brothers and sisters.
1959 for me it was perfect for having the Beatles as apple ears
“Ok, John, you can take the glasses off now”
John: “Yeah, speaking about that, I think I’m gonna wear them forever”.
Carlos Arias he kind of looks like Roy Orbison
Me: "I wouldnt mind tho
He was high
Bruh he was probably stoned out of his mind.
@@franciscolozano9909 or tripping
Anyone who doubts Ringo's ability should listen to Rain.
He has another masterpiece on Lennon`s song She Said She Said, i think his drumming there matches the performance on Rain
you would have to be tone deaf to doubt Ringo's prowess on percussion.
@@gerrydooley951 nope, just deaf!
Could you possibly imagine what Pete Best would do with this song? Sorry, Pete, but Ringo was the way better choice.
Tomorrow Never Knows as well !!
Paul's bass playing is wonderful on this!
The coolest time for the beatles.
Middle Beatles is the best Beatles. 👌
Ringo's drumming is perfection in this song
F**king right!!!!......
Absolutely his most creative, free wheeling "let it all hand out" drumming as a Beatle. Triplets, fills, standard keeping time, the whole bit mixed in as he felt it. Superb. A huge part of the song.
so underrated
Paul's bass line which is similar to a lead guitar vamping, left Ringo ( or whomever played it in the studio ) more room to play the fills.
Mr Lithium27 absolutely perfection
1:05 Ringo scratch the side of his face.
1:40 You see John sweating.
2:02 Paul smiles at the camera.
2:16 George smiles for the first time.
Just some things I have noticed.
Silas Griffin this is by far the weirdest music video the Beatles have pulled out of the bottom of their pockets
@@CTE2028 uhm what about strawberry fields?
@@CTE2028 what about 'revolution nine'
Did you notice Paul's broken tooth too?
@@michavandam He had a moped accident in November 1965 which broke his tooth and cut his lip. We can see it in this clip and in the clip of Paperback Writer.
rain is a complete timeless masterpiece
😂I was stoned out of my gourd the first time I heard this. I was even more stoned when it was over!😅
As an example of psychedelia, I think this maybe tops anything even on Pepper. Massive favourite of mine. John's clearly loving it, too. ❤
Paul's bass here is godlike. Damn.
He never fails to amaze me. 🎻🎸
And it only got better when I heard it with headphones for the first time.
True
I was 12 when this came out on 45. I played this song over and over again. I was literally hypnotized. But I couldn't find another 45 to replace it after I wore it out. Sigh. Had to wait over 3 years before it appeared on the "Hey Jude" album in 1970. That was a LONG time to wait for a teen. Now I'm old...but still am hypnotized by this song. I literally will love it until the day I die.
@@Cryo837 I discovered this song at 12, too!! But it was on my Dad's copy of Hey Jude. This was 1993. Amazing hypnotic analog vibrations. Thanks for sharing!
Beatles are the greatest and most influential band that ever was and will ever be.
Amen
The most iconic, influential and innovative group; the greatest songwriting team; the biggest selling recording artists of all time....those 4 youngsters from Liverpool....Ladies and Gentlemen: THE BEATLES !!!!!!
Yes.
they changed the musical landscape (in a positive way) forever.
@ david Hargreaves: hahaha!
John Lennon looks like just about the coolest guy in the world here
I wonder if you’d still feel that way after watching him abuse his first wife
One of The Beatles' most underrated songs. I'd say it's "deceptively simple" on the surface but on multiple listens, its complexity slowly unfurls like a flower to the sun.
They make everything look so effortless…
"We're all John Lennon fans." - George Harrison
@blue heeler lol, which "crappy ballads" do you speak of...Let It Be...Long and Winding Road..cause those are considered among the greatest songs ever recorded..and u sound very silly because the "originally Beatles sound" was 50% Paul 50% John, and Paul can rock just as hard if not harder...so ur evaluation falls flat on it's face
Edit:Thanks for all the likes, if you like Hip-Hop, R&B some Soul, maybe you'll like my music.
blue heeler you are a fuckin idiot hahahaha
@@loganlockyer2651 honestly true
The Beatles never would've been as big as they got without the 4 as a whole. Also, George held the band up at the end IMHO. Which George? Both of them.
paul said it himself, he's the #1 john lennon fan and that he's always loved im' and he still does
Everyone’s talking about Ringo’s drumming here but listen to those basslines from Paul!
Its all great!
Yes Gustav, just amazing, never had enough credit for me
Damn right! Can listen to this all day
The Bass, my God the Bass!
The fashion by people not even born at the time is to hate on Paul at every opportunity and give him no credit, they think for some reason they have to be Paul or John.
How could you listen to this song and not melt away? This song just oozes with style, and the melody and instrumentation are so colorful. The Beatles are genius.
Man those vocals are just effortlessly enchanting
Rob 😮
The drums in this song are just phenomenal! Ringo is truly one of the best drummers of all time!
Phenomenal? Now look at the 0:44 mark. Ringo drags the transition too long and isn’t entering the first beat with the rest of the band. In 1971 he couldn’t play the part Quincy Jones expected from him and was substituted by a double. So I don’t know what phenomenon are you talking about…
@@sevchyk it's not a bug, it's a feature.
@@TolgaDarcan Do you really think that he made that awkward dragging deliberately?
@@sevchyk he did, count the timing
@@sevchyk like a metronome
Paul McCartney may be immortalized because he's a Beatle, but he still doesnt get credit he deserves for being an amazing bass player.
he might be, yeah, if his name were John or George
Bass is not a difficult instrument to play to be honest. However and with that said, McCartney was an exceptionally fine 'finger-picker' on an acoustic guitar. He had his own unique style which many have tried to emulate down the decades. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!!
@@KennyTC63 so you deny him of being the greatest bass player, instead he's a fine guitarist - a backhand compliment
@@KennyTC63 take a look at I want you (she's so heavy) and come together for their bass lines. Maybe a pretty simple instrument to learn, but those grooves are eternal and they originated through that man's fingers. He's a genius.
@@Bella-nt7ec "greatest Bass player" - these are your words, not mine! Mac is renowned in the music fraternity for his unique and exceptionally skilled picking-style. As I said, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! If you think that it is a back-handed compliment, then well, you know lol.
Just love to see them smiling at each other.....so much fun
Rain and Paperback Writer signaled the psychedelic shift in everything. If you were old enough then, their debut on the radio was mind blowingly cool; you knew THIS was something brand new and revolutionary. The whole feel and sound was astounding, fresh and moved the human race forward a step or two and made you more aware. THANKS.
To think back then that teenage fans were listening to this single having no clue that the album was going to be completely the same tectonic shift of the music landscape. They literally changed the way you look at studios. Before, it was to go in and play your instruments.... after that album the studio itself was seen as an instrument. Stunning.
Too young to understand or appreciate in 1966 yet soon after loved the blazing white hot guitar of Writer. Rain took longer for me to catch on yet once I did I always crank it up!
@@Lmclean89 I just loved it at 15. The lyrics did it for me
I've never considered either song to be psychedelic.
Don’t forget Blue Jay Way. Now that’s psychedelic.
Imagine if Rain and Paperback Writer were on Revolver?
Eric K imagine if strawberry fields and Penny lane were on Sgt pepper
Well i would remove dr Robert and good day sunshine. Rain and paperback writer would fit the album better then dr and sunshine
@@oldchannellolz6086 Agree...but Revolver is still better than Sgt.
@@oldchannellolz6086 I think Dr. Robert is a kick-ass song, with a great lyric and a great story. Good Day Sunshine is a really good Paul song. They all should be on the album.
@Neuro Demonio Yellow Submarine is a great single, and should have just been a single (not on Revolver). Got to Get You is a kick-ass song that shows continued musical progression by McCartney.
Only The Beatles could afford to issue songs of this quality as a B-side!
This great song was on the B-side with the A-side being Paperback Writer in 1966. It has so many firsts in the recording techniques. Nobody comes close to The Beatles cannot imagine the world without them! RIP Mr.George Harrison and John Lennon!!….. Love ya!
And then, only a few month later: Tomorrow never knows. The Beatles are the Band who changed the Sound of Music. All this 66 yrs. ago. Genious!!
Just concentrate on that bass line.....
You are Addicted

👍👍👍. BEAUTIFUL!
hard to know whether to concentrate on the bass line or drumming. Both are fucking amazing
Hypnotic....
Clever!

The last song I enjoyed with my Dad while he was still alive....This song has more meaning to me then every song by every artist of all time...I love you dad
Christopher Fox sad and happy to read your comment
Bless you
God bless you brothah (I ain't even that into god, but fuckin'...God bless you. You..just frickin' godbless you)
happy holidays
Your dad is having a good time with George and John..
Micky Adams good job
Outstanding - a favorite - Ringo George's arpeggiated chords Harmonies Paul's bass, John's voice . It has everything. A breakthrough song with Paperback Writer - A breakthrough album - Revolver a masterpiece
In my opinion the Beatles are the greatest band in history. They didn't just do one or two new things. They did maybe 70 new things. Perhaps I am wrong. Well, I can live with that.
not wrong... 😉
No, it's a fact...
There is no opinion on the matter it’s just factual no other band even comes close which is crazy seeing that other bands like The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin are great but if you disagree let me ask you this …. What other band mates sing in those two bands besides nick jagger and Robert plant ?
Great bands but when you look at the Beatles you have 4 Huge stars 3 if you want to be realistic and not count ringo
@@cjsmith4152 4
@@cjsmith4152 Listen again to the drumming just on this track, and remembering that he was brought in because he was the most professional of them all too....
As a 15-year-old kid with a 58-year-old dad, I am super grateful that he showed me a lot of classic rock. He really raised me well.
You're lucky. Be sure to take care of him when he's "old and gray".
@@robertpoen5383 are you listening Ben
Oooo... to be able to be exposed to & appreciate oldies for millenials/ gen z like you is awesome, be glad & rock on👍🌈🌸oldies are goldies!
Me either. My dad had a TON of albums he bought from the US (I'm from the Philippines). Two of them are 1962-66 and 1967-70. I keep playing the second disc of the latter so much that I forgot where I put it.
That last part where they put John's signing backwards while the Paul and George remain the same always gets me...
Beautiful masterpiece!
Nobody comes close to the Beatles and Never will ….B-EA-T-L-E-S….The Beatles make the very best Music!!!
It's so beautiful to see the 4 of them together playing a song. The magic is there. Will never end. It's there in the Beatles.
They're why I picked up the guitar 30 years ago. Lennon is why I play rhythm guitar. As a player, you long for the magic and camaraderie they had. I don't see that with other bands to this day.
They had a collective genius.
@@joellebrodeur1015 Magic and camaraderie? Ever heard of Face to Face, or for that matter, even Green Day? Mind you, different style of tunes...
Yes I agree and awesome group ☺️
With any other group, this song would be prominent in their greatest hits collection. With the Beatles, it's :" eh, let's put it on a B-side"
It's on "The Beatles Past Masters" right after Paperback Writer
@@englishmaninfrance661 Past Masters is not really an album, it's a compilation made long after the band broke up. This was originally released as a B-side for the song Paperback Writer. So yes, Rain is just a B-side, and yes it would've been practically any other group's best song.
I'm aware it's a compilation. Nevertheless, it's where you can find Rain@@yngwievanhalen9640
@@englishmaninfrance661 I realize that, but if you already knew what I posted, I still don't understand why you would bring it up. The fact that it was later released on a comp is utterly irrelevant to the original comment and would only confuse people.
I mean, Revolution and Come Together we’re both B-Sides.
With each listening, you are more and more immersed in the beautiful world. The Fab Four, ahead of its time. Such art, such harmony, this is the harmony of nature and soul, and most importantly - love. Peace and Love ❤
You sound like you’re on drugs

i been alive over 4 decades and the beatles still blow my mind
The bassline on this song and taxman are legendary
Who plays bass on taxman?
Also Sexy Sadie on the white album.
@@T-Dawg-lp2sh Paul played lead guitar on Taxman, not sure if George played bass. He did sometimes. And yes, I said Paul played that incredible guitar solo on Taxman.
Yes - they're similar lines. As AC said, Rain would have gone well on Revolver. Actually it was recorded at the same time.
Check out Don't let me down then. Killer baseline
2:14 Paul and George smiling. Dunno why but it makes me very happy five decades later.
I think they were really enjoying themselves then
tms6279 me too !
It's nice. Especially if you contrast this with the Hey Jude and Revolution films from two years later, where they look tired, unhappy, and a lot more than two years older.
John wearing sunglasses during a song about rain, nothin' cooler than that.
Paul's bass playing given me goosebumps in this song . Every note sounds great.
When your b side is better than 90% of other bands a material
The flipside to The Ballad Of John & Yoko, Old Brown Shoe, is another amazing B side that people might not know about.
100%
I Am The Walrus, Rain, Revolution and Don't Let Me Down were songs that easily could have been a TOP20 song for ANY other band. For the Beatles only were B sides.
100%. This ws always better than Paperback Writer but probably a bit too extreme for 1966
Plus all the stuff Lennon and McCartney wrote for other singers in the 60s - some of the latter's best records!
You know, I used to get into these Beatles arguments with people for years about this and that and how the Stones are better blah blah blah, now I just look at them funny, shake my head and walk away, Everybody knows the truth, if you either love them or you hate them, it really doesn't matter, The Beatles not only changed music forever, they helped start the British invasion wave which no other UK group could ever do prior to The Beatles, they changed pop culture, art, clothing, cultures worldwide, now tell me what other group did that? The Beatles were voted again 5 decades in a row the greatest band of all time, hell they haven't even played a song together since 1970, they are at the very top of the pinnacle and there's nobody even close up there, but midway down that pinnacle mountain you got a whole bunch of bands fighting for second place, it's just the way it is, the sooner you accept it the sooner your life will be that much better!! Long live The Beatles for all the next generations to come..

And we know they will still be first and loved for decades and decades! They're already up there with Mozart, Beethoven,Bach etc. Even if you don't like the Beatles give us evidence that they aren't brilliant musicians! Have fun and good luck!
This is just a great song. Regardless of anything. Genre, band, era, anything. Great tune.
The coolest band ever . Never will be another.
FACTS
@@thatbeatlemaniac5284 TRUTH
Amen to that brother
yeah but what about queen o-o
@@audrey2reactsharper546 I am a Queen fan too and both groups incredibly unique in their artistry. I think the beatles had a more far reaching cultural and pop/rock influence and this does not in any way downsize Queen. Both made awesome contribution to music and our lives in terms of entertainment.
I'm going to bed

SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK !!!
aidan's angels 7 now! Its a miracle!
A few minutes can't influence your sleep so much.
John nails it and is at the height of his coolness. Look at how cocky (in a good way) he stands there and belts this tune out.
This song could have been a hit in the 90's alternative era.
"Rain" goes hand in hand with "She Said She Said'. Two rockin' psychedelic songs!
Yeah, listening to "Rain" makes you feel high.
Both recorded during the "Revolver" LP sessions in the Spring of 1966.
Totally agree!! Similar guitar tones, drumming feel..recorded same time frame..The most awesomeest band ever!! This song still gived me goose bumps. Still trying to figure out, by ear, how Harrison is really playing his part..sounds like it's de-tuned..
"She Said She Said' is a fantastically-underrated Beatles classic . . .
Paul was not playing bass on She Said She Said. He got pissed and walked out which left George playing bass. Still one of my favorite bass lines and it was Paul.
The perfect blend of progressive, pop, alternative, psychedelic.
Just psychedelic
Hombre ruso de 40 años It definitely has pop mixed in
@@marcieboyt what do you mean, pop it's not even a genre
Progressive, what the heck no lol. Its not prog but ok
Jus psychedelic
One of the greatest B-Sides of all time.
I love this song so much!! Paul's bass line has never been better and Ringo's drumming is so different. And what a vocal from John!
I don't even have words to describe how I love this song.
Just say great
I know how you feel Paul - and you wrote it!
bluegtturbo John wrote it
@@KungaMatata It looks like Paul's profile pic...
bluegtturbo whoops my bad haha
There have been many great bands....Queen and Pink Floyd come to mind.....but nothing compares to the sheer brilliance and talent of the Beatles.
...and Led Zeppelin
This guy hasn't heard of Led Zeppelin
@@carlneoh5843 Oh, I'm very aware of Led Zeppelin. Good, but they can't compare to the Beatle's body of work and influence on the global music scene.
I think Pink Floyd with Syd Sounds and Brian with The Beach Boys, was the most influential of em all
Queen are garbage in comparison to The Beatles, Floyd, and LZ.
