Lennon's voice is reedier, like an oboe, which i find more appealing. Easy one for me: John. I think Paul had a very good voice (not so much anymore but that's age for you) but for me it doesn't particularly stand out. It's got a lot of range but for me it's not as distinctive and that's the key from my point of view.
George Harrison Was Known as the 'Quiet Beatle,' But His Guitar Contributions Made Him Irreplaceable - IMDb. George Harrison was given the nickname the “Quiet Beatle” because he was reportedly shy and was often in the background of John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
This May, we're celebrating musical legend John Lennon.
In 1960 they would go on to form The Beatles. A chronical of the Beetle's would be a book in its own right, although it is worth saying that John was de-facto leader alongside Paul and was sometimes called “the Smart Beatle”.
Despite being the favorite of one in four, Lennon is also the least favorite Beatle of nearly half (49%) of people who say they are "not a fan" of at least one of the band members.
In 1968 McCartney started a secret affair with American star Francie Schwartz. Asher found out when she returned from an acting job early and found the Beatle in bed with Schwartz.
Harrison and Lennon were possibly the closest friends in the group at the time — and following the band's breakup with the guitarist notoriously featuring Lennon's famed Paul McCartney attack song — but their relationship was dramatically withering.
'Quiet' Beatle George Harrison was a red-blooded womaniser who almost split from his wife because of his wayward behaviour. He was affectionately known as 'the quiet Beatle'. But George Harrison was in fact a womaniser, whose love of the opposite sex almost ruined his 23-year-marriage, a new documentary has revealed.
Ringo's goofball personality was on display in the movies “A Hard Day's Night” and “Help.” “Ringo has a natural affinity for clowning around and comedy … he did make several movies while the Beatles were together. And then after they broke up, he really went whole hog into movie making,” Starr said.
Pete Shotton, known in Beatles lore as John Lennon's best friend during their childhood days in Liverpool and a member of Quarrymen, has passed away.
It's easy to see why those two extremely popular British bands were pitted against each other, but when it came to innovations in the songwriting, arrangements, and production of pop music in the 1960s, The Beatles' greatest rivals were The Beach Boys.
George was recognised as the best guitarist by John and Paul. Paul was the best bass player - he was one of the best players in the world. Ringo was a brilliant drummer.
The band Paul McCartney said could “out sing” The Beatles
He wrote: “I'm lucky, I have a friend who sends me new music which helps me keep in touch with the modern scene. So I listen to people like Dominic Fike, Beck, St Vincent, and Khruangbin.
By far, by far, by far, Paul McCartney was the better lead guitar player, and there's a lot of evidence to support this. The original instrumentation of The Beatles from their Silver Beetles/Johnny & The Moondogs/Hamburg-era incarnations was always three guitar players: John, George and Paul.
Not most, but definitely more girls preferred Ringo than any of the other Beatles in 1964 in the USA. They each had lots of fans, but Ringo had the most — I remember reading about it at the time, in the newspapers.
Paul McCartney – 22 singles.
More often than not, Harrison was concerned with spirituality and internal struggles, but on this track, he chose to put his feelings on the canvas and aim directly at McCartney. Luckily, the two became close friends again before Harrison's tragic death in 2001.
Eric Clapton was Harrison's closest friend, but he had actively pursued Pattie Boyd romantically while she was married to Harrison. He wrote “Layla” in 1970 with Derek and the Dominos about his painful desire for the famous model.
The Beatles' split and subsequent falling out between John Lennon and Paul McCartney remains a frequently debated aspect of rock history. The tension between the two led to numerous jabs within their albums and singles in the following years, and the two continued to use one another as inspiration after they disbanded.
The two former Beatles got together in Los Angeles at an event in honor of McCartney's fashion designer daughter, Stella McCartney. After nearly 66 years of friendship, it appears Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney are still going strong.
Red-blooded seems an understatement when it comes to Harrison, who had an abiding fondness for other men's wives — much like his devotion to marijuana and sitar music. Beatles expert Bill Harry told me this week: "George had hundreds and hundreds of affairs.
Emotional abuse of his son
Julian Lennon - his son with Cynthia - has made no secret of John's emotional abuse, once claiming that his dad's former bandmate Sir Paul McCartney was more of a father figure to him.
The young Paul McCartney was often referred to in the press as the “cute Beatle.”
Elvis Presley
“Before Elvis, there was nothing,” John Lennon once famously said of The King.
Whilst there are a couple of figures that made strong claims, including Chuck Berry whom Lennon once described as rock and roll incarnate, we think it's safe to say that old 'Slowhand' himself, Eric Clapton, was Lennon's favourite ever guitarist.
