@@jaredbrogdon1323 most certainly he was seriously weakened and no doubt shortened his life. What a fucking asshole. Pardon my French. ..I cried when George left us. No other "celebrity" death has ever affected me so.
Beatles actually did have a TRAGIC history since Paul McCartney died late 1966 and was replaced by William in "an already set up affair". That is the tragic truth normie Beatles channels doesn't dare to bring up.
The fact that this band at times would have 4 or 5 songs in the top ten list for the week is really all you need to know about their greatness. Simply phenomenal. We'll never see their like again.
5 minutes and 45 seconds. That is what is tragic. A band that became famous worldwide , 1963, let's say. Then parted realistically 1969. Six years. The body of work in that time frame is phenomenal. It was beautiful. Love their "tragic"lives . Yes, Lennon's death was awful. Not deserved But he lives on iconically. I would take that. Peace .
George was actually traumatized over Beatlemania his whole life - the rest were relatively fine with it aside from being fucked over by various people from time to time for being awesome
The fact that you had to actually explain lennon's death just shows how time is moving on so fast... and that the kids don't know what was once written in stone. Kids..these people where showbiz legends greater that you will ever know. My wife lectures in marketing and often uses the Beatles as an example...half of the 1st year students say they have never heard of them.
most water supplies are fluoridated now daze. who knows wtf is in kentucky fried chicken but no one should be eating it. definately traces of weedkiller in most foods.
No one told me about Michael Jackson before he died. I had only heard Thriller once before he passed away. I was 12 that year. But I have always known about the Beatles, Queen, David Bowie, Elton John, Alice Cooper and many others. I guess it depends on how and where you live and so on.
I believe you need to include the effect the death of Brian Epstein had on the band, especially John. For the years following the point their fame took off, Brian was the one who made many, if not most, of the decisions concerning their professional and personal lives. His death was especially traumatic to John. Then there was the impact their dentist had on them, because of the electric tea he served the Beatles one night after dinner! Before that moment, the world was in black and white, and what was to come after was in technicolor! That’s when the rest of the world began to experience life in Technicolor as well!
@@DracoPadilla I think it refers to "drug tea". I'm pretty sure someone's dentist slipped drugs into the Beatles drinks. After that, they loved drugs. Don't quote me tho. And please correct me if I'm wrong 👍
Why is everything posted on this site tagged with the moniker “Tragic”; yes, John’s death was tragic; George’s untimely death from cancer was great loss, but I would not describe the collective music-making experience of the Beatles as a group as “tragic”-not at all.
That time, I was a teenager and it was MAGIC and some of the music still holds that magic for me. I would save up for weeks before a Beatles album was due to be released and be first in line. They never disappointed .
not gonna mention that Paul McCartney’s mum died when he was 14? (The songs Yesterday and Let it Be are both about his mum if anyone’s curious). also not gonna mention John Lennon’s mother also died when he was a teenager I see. It was actually a source of bonding between the two. Paul knew what it was like to loose a mum, so he helped John through it as best he could. I think that’s why they were closer to each other than to Ringo or George, though they all loved each other for sure. I’m a Beatles nerd if you didn’t notice.
My friends been a hardcore Beatles fan for over 40 years (pretty much myself to), he went to see McCartney a year or two ago in Cleveland and said it was painful to watch, I explained to him afterwards that that's exactly why I don't want to see any of the acts that were huge back in the day, I wanna remember them the way they were and not embarrassing themselves because they can't come to grips with the fact that their time is past, I'd die if one of the "Rock Gods" from back in the day fell and broke a hip in front of me.
@@dukecraig2402 I agree. Your friend shouldn't have gone. It's the enablers that just can't let go, not the artists themselves because they don't know how to stop. It's cruel.
One of the greatest expression of freedom and individuality . The tragedy is those who fail to be tolerant of people who live by their own choices and who have an ability to have an amazing gift of artistic expression.

If this is "tragic," then everyone's' lives are "tragic." this story is no more tragic than mine or anyone else's. I guess life is nothing more than an "elegant tragedy..."
the beatles are the best band of all time. period. its not even debatable when you think of the high quality and quantity of their music , there is no other band thats come even close... (maybe radiohead)
wing commander Thats not true. You cant argue what band is “best” in terms of quality. Some people have a distaste for their style, which is normal. Music taste is subjective, not everybody is going to like the same music. That being said, the Beatles are definitely the most *successful* band, no argument. Also radiohead coming close to the beatles? Sorry dude but that’s just plain wrong.
I was born after they broke up and have been into heavy metal, House music, Acid House, Reggae and Jazz. There will never be a band like the Beatles again. Not because they had the best drummer, guitarist or bassist... but, because as a whole they made some of the most perfect music ever made and yes, they made a few shit songs as well, but even these were better than most bands good stuff. Never has a band been so diverse.....Rock, Blues, Rock n Roll, Pop, Psychedelic, Heavy Metal. No 2 songs sound the same, youbcan sing along, dance or just listen to their songs. The conclusion... Anyone who says the Beatles were nothing but genius, really does not understand music. There will never be another Beatles. Artists top 10 in no particular order, although I might miss one or two 1. Beatles 2. Queen 3. Simon and Garfunkel 4. AC/DC or Metalica 5. The Cure 6. Stereophonics 7. Bob Marley 8. Otis Redding. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elivis Presley 9. Elton John 10. ELO
There are a lot of facts that are either incorrect or were left out completely, but I still appreciate the effort. I love watching anything Beatles related 💚
The Beatles are the foundation of a music as we know it. They preformed for only 10 years and yet almost 60 years later people still listen to their music. It's incredible and in this time I think unbeliveable. Today's music you listen to for a week or so and then you don't even remamber the name of that song. Their songs live forever and without them I don't think today's music could exist. They will always be the greatest band that ever walked on this Earth and I will be forever greatful for them...
John didnt go to dinner before he died. He went to the studio to finish his last album "Double Fantasy". He was carrying a reel of tape that had the last two songs of the album on it.
I hope people understand even the Beatles, and just about any band, had tragic difficulties, and not just by Lennon and Harrison's death, but during their pre-during the-and post Beatles years.
Paul McCartneys death late 1966 was the MAJOR factor that changed both the band and its members. People who pretend that William is JPM are not doing themselves any favours.
i knew that would come up . i still think he did too. there was too much money pouring in that there was no way they( the royal fam) were going to let it be. Thats what i think broke the band up because John didnt care for Billy and resented him when he tried to be the leader. plus john didnt like the direction that Faul was taking the music .
MYSTERY QUESTION ? ....... THE FINISH ON THE BACK OF PAUL'S HOFNER BASS APPEARS TO BE SANDED AWAY AND SOMETHING WRITTEN IN WHITE INK IS THERE. (FRAME 3:31) WHAT DOES IT SAY ?
Agreed. However, also relevant to 'most influential' is commercial success and media presence, which the Beatles outstripped anyone in during their career.
You didn't mention how Paul's mom died of cancer, John's mom dying in a car crash, nor how Ringo left during the White Album sessions and extensive fighting during the Get Back sessions ...
What about George and Patti wanting to have children so bad, and then right after they got married, they found out she couldn’t have children. That was truly heartbreaking
My teacher at school told me John Lennon used to beat him up and take his lunch money. He talked about his school life and said he went to Quarry Hill High School after the class I said I knew it was where The Beatles went and so he told me the story. Funny as it is the kind of thing that would be a massive video on TH-cam or interviewed on a documentary now as John has reached legendary status. At that time John was an exBeatle but still alive and not making music so he wasn't seen as the legend he is now. His death really changed things, for those too young to remember that event.
Real tragedy is the death of James Paul McCartney, John's best friend. Hidden from the world his replacement and John didn't get along and that was the caused of the breakup. There are tragedies concerning the Beatles but Paul's death was the biggest as far as John Lennon was concerned.
The oft-mentioned drama scene of young Lennon forced to choose between mama and papa has been proven to be a myth. Read Mark Lewisohn's "Tune in" book to see that the scene was indeed rather amicable.
The music defined my high school years. My sister and I would fight over who bought which vinyl album. Rubber Soul was exotic. I could sing one song after another from memory each side. The cartoon show song seemed to be Baby's in Black.
Great video, but would have been more thoughtful to add that George 2 or 3 years before he died (cant exactly remember) was stabbed in the chest 20 something times in his estate home during a robbery.
Ringo also came from a very run down section of Liverpool, living in the kind of row houses you see in the worst sections of Baltimore. John did have a hard time emotionally but lived in a fairly comfortable home with his Aunt Mimi who though tough gave him lots of love.
Am I the only one who stopped watching the moment the host brought up the debunked "John Lennon first choosing his father, then tearfully running out into the street to his mother" story?
At 3:55 the narrator says "John & Yoko stepped out of the Dakota for dinner and the killer was waiting for them" is inaccurate, and only a novice would blunder so badly getting a major detail so wrong. They were at a New York recording studio doing follow-up tracks to their "Double Fantasy" album and were returning from a recording session very late in the evening when it happened.
You mentioned George Harrison's brain tumor and lung cancer. Tragic as they were, but it wouldn't be as traumatic as when a lunatic intruder broke into his home and stabbed him multiple times in the back. George said that it partly caused his lung cancer to get worse.
Who is a legend ? The only Beatle alive in 2020 that played on ALL Beatles albums is Ringo Starr. "Sir Paul" (William) only played on Sgt Pepper-Let it be.
For you kids out there if you want to understand the impact the Beatles had just think, people are still making videos on TH-cam about them nearly 50 years after they broke up. Their impact on the world in just about every way can not possibly be over stated!
I cant beleive Yoko Ono passed up the chance to scream, ..I mean perform to the world by refusing to hold a funeral. Wow, and here I thought it was Impossible for me to hate her more than I already did.
"One After 909"... A classic rocker that was written early in their career... 'performed in the legendary "rooftop concert" which was the very last time all four Beatles performed together live.
John Lennon did NOT come from a working class family as stated early on in this video. Paul, George, and Ringo did. John came from a middle class home. John grew up with his aunt Mimi and uncle George in a house called "Mendips", at 251 Menlove Avenue, Liverpool.
And he was no tough guy either although he tried to give the impression that he was, and before all the keyboard warriors get their sad little fingers going I am a Liverpudlian of that era.
But at least normal people doesn't cover up their loved ones death and replaces them with a different person to keek up the illusion that they are still alive.
@@olskzeri2723 Are you saying you believe that Paul actually died ? Ha, that was just a made up rumor, but fun at the time, no one with half a brain actually believed it.
It's called life and in one's life there will be tragic moment. So one has to try there best to get along in life. But I do miss George and John. R.I.P.
The only tragic thing that I'm sorry about is the fact that they split up WHY. WHY. GOD. And btw losing my John Lennon and my pretty George is also so heartbreaking :(
A video titled "tragic truth" is supposed to reveal that there was something intrinsically tragic about the entire situation. It's not supposed to be a few sad facts about members of a wildly successful band. "Tragedy," by the way, isn't the fact that life can be tough and sad. It means that your character and situations lead inexorably to a disastrous situation - and you can have an impeccable character and still suffer.
Actually i think the John Lennon story may have been exaggerated, the Beatles were really good at story telling which was why they were such good song writers ,fact is Paul and John had pretty normal childhood, yes John's dad left him at age 5 ,but it was John who chose to be bad ,but he was cared for by his Aunt and had a home to live in and his own room, 3 meals a day ,went to school etc...and Paul was even better off ,money wise. They were never abused by their parents and when they went to Germany it was their family who paid their way.
It should be noted as much sadder for John that after being put through the torture of having to select between his mother and father, and despite settling on his mom, she gave him away anyway to her sister and she took off. So, he didn't even have her.
@@annabelleeh It did. In fact, John was able to reestablish a relationship with her when he was in his teens only to lose her again when she was hit by a car.
This video doesn't talk about the tragic youth of Paul Mc Cartney who has lost his mother very young (and John Lennon will lose his own mother only some years after).
Agreed - a number of inaccuracies I thought. The Beatles certainly dominated the U.S. Billboard charts in 1964. I wish I'd read Fisher's review before watching.
3:07- McCartney and Pete Best deported from Germany for setting fire to a "condom?" Seems like auto correct added an "m" to the script. But no, the lads broke their contract with a club owner who- (from Wikipedia) "then reported Harrison for working under the legal age limit (even though he had been working at Koschmider's club) and Harrison was deported on 21 November 1960. When Best and McCartney went back to the Bambi Kino to get their belongings they found it in almost total darkness. As a snub to Koschmider, McCartney and Best found a condom in their luggage, attached it to a nail on the concrete wall of the room, and set fire to it in order to have light to gather their possessions. There was no real damage done, but Koschmider reported them both for attempted arson."
Good video but John and Yoko were coming back from recording session Double Fantasy. As they pulled up to their Dakota apartment entrance... Yoko walked ahead of John and that freak shot Lennon 5 times while his back was turned. He doesn't deserve to have his name said.
they forgot to mention that George was stabbed 14 times by a crazed beatles fan in 1999 whilst he was in the middle of fighting his cancer. it more than likely Finished him off. he recovered from it but it took the fight out of him!

Great video, but would have been more thoughtful to add that George 2 or 3 years before he died (cant exactly remember) was stabbed in the chest 20 something times in his estate home during a robbery.
It wasn't a robbery. The guy went there to attack him.
Ringo also came from a very run down section of Liverpool, living in the kind of row houses you see in the worst sections of Baltimore. John did have a hard time emotionally but lived in a fairly comfortable home with his Aunt Mimi who though tough gave him lots of love.
Am I the only one who stopped watching the moment the host brought up the debunked "John Lennon first choosing his father, then tearfully running out into the street to his mother" story?
At 3:55 the narrator says "John & Yoko stepped out of the Dakota for dinner and the killer was waiting for them" is inaccurate, and only a novice would blunder so badly getting a major detail so wrong. They were at a New York recording studio doing follow-up tracks to their "Double Fantasy" album and were returning from a recording session very late in the evening when it happened.
You mentioned George Harrison's brain tumor and lung cancer. Tragic as they were, but it wouldn't be as traumatic as when a lunatic intruder broke into his home and stabbed him multiple times in the back. George said that it partly caused his lung cancer to get worse.
2020.. and still a legend...
Who is a legend ? The only Beatle alive in 2020 that played on ALL Beatles albums is Ringo Starr.
"Sir Paul" (William) only played on Sgt Pepper-Let it be.
Why is it always "tragic?" They lived like gods
For you kids out there if you want to understand the impact the Beatles had just think, people are still making videos on TH-cam about them nearly 50 years after they broke up. Their impact on the world in just about every way can not possibly be over stated!
Love is all you need.
Acid is NOT a soft drug. Cynthia Lennon has stated John was well addicted to that in the mid 1960's.
2:02 love this moment haha
It is very interesting that he did not mention John's mother being run over by a car and killed when he was a teen.
I love them so much
3 musicians and a drummer changed the world of popular music.
Actually, none of the Beatles were good musicians and I say that as one of their greatest fans.
Actually you have no idea what you are talking about.
As 'mediocre' musicians, they did pretty well for themselves, didn't they ?@@jackfletcher1000
I don't like this video. 6 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
The best Beatles video on TH-cam is "Beatles Narratives and the Lies We've Been Told."
I cant beleive Yoko Ono passed up the chance to scream, ..I mean perform to the world by refusing to hold a funeral. Wow, and here I thought it was Impossible for me to hate her more than I already did.
@@ThePython666 I think most of the world would agree with that 110%...
That is a horrible thing to say; nobody should have been shot period.
But it happened on december 8th didnt it?
@@ThePython666 Dec. 8th 1980 you are correct. Lol
"One After 909"... A classic rocker that was written early in their career... 'performed in the legendary "rooftop concert" which was the very last time all four Beatles performed together live.
I would say their story is anything but tragedy..... LOL
Funny you should have posted this on the day you did. I saw both Paul AND Ringo live at Dodgers Stadium that day.
If you think that’s a tragic story you should get out more often
John Lennon did NOT come from a working class family as stated early on in this video. Paul, George, and Ringo did. John came from a middle class home. John grew up with his aunt Mimi and uncle George in a house called "Mendips", at 251 Menlove Avenue, Liverpool.
John wasn’t in gangs 😂🤦♂️
He was
@GangstaPotatos he was not
And he was no tough guy either although he tried to give the impression that he was, and before all the keyboard warriors get their sad little fingers going I am a Liverpudlian of that era.
Cade Reimer no but ringo was
Goat of all bands
You could have talked about George cheating on his wife with Ringo's wife
If John had chosen his father rather his mother, there wouldn't be no Beatles at all
Half the story, Julia Lennon, Mary McCartney and Brian Epstein died much too early. Do your homework first.......
Who hasn't had tragedy in their lives.
But at least normal people doesn't cover up their loved ones death and replaces them with a different person to keek up the illusion that they are still alive.
@@olskzeri2723 Are you saying you believe that Paul actually died ? Ha, that was just a made up rumor, but fun at the time, no one with half a brain actually believed it.
They did cover up Pauls death in late 1966 and his replacement 82 year old "Sir Paul" (William) is still lying his a** off in 2020.
@@olskzeri2723 Ha, you fool, I can't believe that you actually believe that story lol.
Alot of people will see Beatles and "Sir Paul" (William) in a very different light once the truth comes out.
Why do you have to mention the name and show his face? Why??
Dislike x 1M, please.
It's called life and in one's life there will be tragic moment. So one has to try there best to get along in life. But I do miss George and John. R.I.P.
this video is full of miss information. awful!!
Why?
The only tragic thing that I'm sorry about is the fact that they split up WHY. WHY. GOD.
And btw losing my John Lennon and my pretty George is also so heartbreaking :(
The biggest tragedy of them all is that JPM died late 1966 and that they covered it up.
I like Octopussy's Garden...
Haha!
.....in Norway my sexy hot girlfriend gives me Norwegian Wood
yoyo tubero
That sure was the funniest joke I've ever heard.
This is not a tragedy, this is a blessing
It IS a TRAGEDY that James Paul McCartney died late 1966 and they covered it up.
First dislike
second dislike
Paul died Sept 66. Their early beginnings weren't all that went on. RIP Paul.
True. So many people are living with their eyes closed.
Better than the Monkeys? I think not, sir...
Who are the "Monkeys"? Are they any relation to The Beetles? Or The Birds?
Its your fucken inlaws 🙊🙉🙈😘🤣😉
A video titled "tragic truth" is supposed to reveal that there was something intrinsically tragic about the entire situation. It's not supposed to be a few sad facts about members of a wildly successful band. "Tragedy," by the way, isn't the fact that life can be tough and sad. It means that your character and situations lead inexorably to a disastrous situation - and you can have an impeccable character and still suffer.
Actually i think the John Lennon story may have been exaggerated, the Beatles were really good at story telling which was why they were such good song writers ,fact is Paul and John had pretty normal childhood, yes John's dad left him at age 5 ,but it was John who chose to be bad ,but he was cared for by his Aunt and had a home to live in and his own room, 3 meals a day ,went to school etc...and Paul was even better off ,money wise. They were never abused by their parents and when they went to Germany it was their family who paid their way.
John's family was financially much better off than Paul's. John was the only one from a middle class background.
It should be noted as much sadder for John that after being put through the torture of having to select between his mother and father, and despite settling on his mom, she gave him away anyway to her sister and she took off. So, he didn't even have her.
hungfao I’m pretty sure that was just dramatized and didn’t actually happen
@@annabelleeh It did. In fact, John was able to reestablish a relationship with her when he was in his teens only to lose her again when she was hit by a car.
This video doesn't talk about the tragic youth of Paul Mc Cartney who has lost his mother very young (and John Lennon will lose his own mother only some years after).
This is even better than the original tall tale of the formation of the band.
The greatest tragedy is the fact they didn’t release more music
Agreed - a number of inaccuracies I thought. The Beatles certainly dominated the U.S. Billboard charts in 1964. I wish I'd read Fisher's review before watching.
6 of the USA top ten were Beatles records ,one week
Do you do voice over ?
Can I use your voice in a documentary?
3:07- McCartney and Pete Best deported from Germany for setting fire to a "condom?" Seems like auto correct added an "m" to the script. But no, the lads broke their contract with a club owner who- (from Wikipedia) "then reported Harrison for working under the legal age limit (even though he had been working at Koschmider's club) and Harrison was deported on 21 November 1960. When Best and McCartney went back to the Bambi Kino to get their belongings they found it in almost total darkness. As a snub to Koschmider, McCartney and Best found a condom in their luggage, attached it to a nail on the concrete wall of the room, and set fire to it in order to have light to gather their possessions. There was no real damage done, but Koschmider reported them both for attempted arson."
Good video but John and Yoko were coming back from recording session Double Fantasy. As they pulled up to their Dakota apartment entrance... Yoko walked ahead of John and that freak shot Lennon 5 times while his back was turned. He doesn't deserve to have his name said.
Double Fantasy was released the previous month. They were recording something else.
Double Fantasy was released the previous month. On the night John Lennon was murdered, he and Yoko were recording something else.
TH-cam is the closest thing we have to a time machine...
4:56 RADIO Therapy? Never heard that one before.
they forgot to mention that George was stabbed 14 times by a crazed beatles fan in 1999 whilst he was in the middle of fighting his cancer. it more than likely Finished him off. he recovered from it but it took the fight out of him!
