R.I.P. George you brilliant man. No ego, no stupid behaviour, just the perfect Mr. Nice Guy.

I can't believe guys have never heard this iconic song.

I love Ringo's work on the drums in this song. So *many* different time changes, but he keeps right up, driving the group forward.

Other great George songs : 'It's All To Much', 'Taxman', 'I, Me, Mine', 'Think For Yourself' and he wrote 'All Things Must Pass' before the Beatles split.

The Beatles covered nearly every genre of music under the sun. The white album is the one that probably highlights that the most. It goes from one end of the spectrum to the other - song after song. Oh - and George wrote While my Guitar Gently Weeps.

This is a beautiful song. Pure joy. Its also pretty complex rhythmically, lots of time signature switches. Theres a part that switches to 3/4 for 3 bars, then a bar of 2/4. Technically that whole part could be considered 11/4 or 11/8. Its also one of 3 Beatles songs to use a synthesizer. George didn't get many songs because of Lennon/McCartney. They were the hit makers, they've been writing tons of songs together since they were teenagers, and George didn't even try until their second album, so it took him until later in their career to grow as a writer. Even then, Lennon and McCartney didn't realise how good he was until towards the end of the band.

The Beatles were a true and unequalled phenomenon. There is a vast amount of music beginning in the '50s and extending into the early '80s of pop/R&B/Blues/Jazz/Soul/Progressive rock and more that you are completely missing out on. This music represents my generation and was some of the very best music ever produced.

When this record showed up (I got it via the USPS) I dropped the needle and this was the first song I heard. George finally got his due on this their last album and I think it's their best.

1963-1970 so many songs, touring non stop to 1966, four movies. So many musicians picked up an instrument, started a band because of the Beatles.

The Beatles first single was released in Nov 1962 and their first album was recorded in Feb 1963. Their last album completed recording in Nov 1969. During that time they recorded 188 original songs and 25 covers. George wrote 25 of the originals. He was a little behind Paul and John when it came to song writing (their first US hit was written by Paul when he was 15). George's first song, Don't Bother Me, was on their second album. George said it was his first attempt and was just trying to figure out how to write a song. "Something" on the Abbey Road album was his first song to hit number 1 on the charts. A few things made the Beatles stand out. First their "long hair" for that time. But more importantly they wrote most of their songs, all four had lead vocal tracks on every album plus tracks in duets, and they brought rock and roll back. They were never just one sound though. It would be pretty easy to argue they created genres of rock/pop. But through the 50's and well into the 60's Rock and Roll was a pretty broad term. But if Gabe wants to understand why their early stuff was so popular you should watch the video "Most Popular Song Each Month in the 60's" (link below). All you really need to watch is Jan 1960 to Dec 1964 (about 12 minutes). The Beatles first US single was released Dec 26, 1963 so they really hit in US in 1964. You'll see what was most popular in the US (including Elvis) compared to what The Beatles brought in 1964. I'd be curious if Gage believes Elvis derserves his "King of Rock and Roll" title hearing his most popular songs from the early 60's. I was a kid then, but I think The Beatles brought Rock and Roll back to life when they hit North America. Then they proceeded to just change music and everybody else playing catch up. Here's that link... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nqqHg7GYt7TIeH0.html

George was only like 13 or 14 when he joined the Silver Beetles. Paul and John were several years older and already writing songs. They were already monster hit makers by the time George started writing his own songs. So, at first they just started including one song an album for George. Later, he would get more, but by the time George really hit his stride I think that the three of them were so prolific they were in the habit of only allowing only George’s best songs on even though both Paul and John had some silly ones done. Big source of frustration for George and for today’s taste his contributions are definitely some of the best Beatles songs out there. Three of the greatest song writers of all time in the same band. That’s partly why the songs are so different, with different moods and personalities. Individually great, together amazing. Add in George Martin, sometimes transcendent. When they all contributed to the track, along with Ringo’s perfect drums it was magic personified.

George went over to Eric Clapton’s house. The relief of not having to go see all those dopey accountants at apple was wonderful, as he walked around the garden with one of Eric’s acoustic guitars and wrote ‘Here Comes The Sun.’” George completed the song while holidaying in Sardinia.

Worth mentioning the Beatles did all their stuff, got all those record sales in 8 years. Elvis took 20 years to get those sales. MJ took 30.

I believe George wrote this in Eric Clapton’s back garden. Of course Clapton was the primary guitarist on ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’.

Definitely check out Revolution (live video version) and I've Got a Feeling from the Rooftop concert - Great harder rock sound!

This is one of my favorite Beatles songs. I've been a fan since I first heard them at the end of 1963 and they exploded on the scene when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show in February of 1964. It was a marvelous time for music.

My Sweet George ❤🎸♥️🎸

If I could only listen to one song for the rest of my days, it would be this one, hands down.

Nelson & Spike Wilbury.. my favourite Beatle ❤ A few other classic George tracks ..What is Life, My Sweet Lord, Got my Mind set on You, All Those Years Ago, Give me Love(give me peace on earth), Something, ........... please also check out George in the Travelling Wilburys with his brilliant legendary mates - Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne....& Jim Keltner as Buster Sidebury on percussion.

If you experienced a British winter which mainly cold wet and miserabl, you could appreciate how spring is welcome and a warm sun

Paul McCartney and John Lennon essentially formed the Beatles, and were pretty much gatekeeping the "sound" of their group throughout. They were unfairly quite dismissive of George Harrison's songwriting in the earlier days, and generally only let Harrison have one of his compositions on each album. By the time Abbey Road came about, Lennon admitted that George's two songs were probably the best on that album. Later on, George Harrison put out his album 'All Things Must Pass', which was essentially a compilation of all the songs he'd written during the Beatles period that were rejected by Lennon and McCartney. Well worth a listen.

You would love The Traveling Wilburys (super group with Harrison, Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison) song End of The Line written by George Harrison.

You should play him "I Will" and then "Yer Blues" both from the 1968 White Album... if he wants to see how they can go from soft, beautiful love songs - to "I want to die" blues.

George also wrote While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

They need to let me pick The Beatles songs. I’ll play the bangers

more beatles reactions: day in the life, here there&everywhere,let it be,strawberry fields,something

George ❤️ 😢

I love the unknown songs that no one hears. Like the film 'As good as it get' Because I get it. 😮 ❤

He needs to hear “I Want You, She’s So Heavy” by The Beatles 😎

George came up with song as he was working in his garden on a very sunny day.

December 1964, George (The Beatles) had the first song played on the radio. Do you want to know a secret. Trini Lopes told Jonny Carson on national tv that The Beatles are coming soon ...

It wasn't just the same band that wrote both "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" AND "Here Comes The Sun", but it was the very same Beatle(singular), George Harrison, who wrote both songs.

Harrison also wrote While my guitar gently weeps with guitar solo by Eric Clapton , Harrison was finally coming into his own by then .By the way when you get round to playing him Abbey Road, particularly when you get to the Medley on the second side, just play the original version and not the recent remastered version as it's a different order of songs , must played without stopping, its a medley. Too many first reactors play the recent remastered one, it spoils the flow.

Don't know where you got this chart you were looking at... but I've read that The Beatles surpassed a billion record sales more than 20 years ago.

That's what makes a great band, evoke a certain emotion or memory. George Harrison wrote My Guitar Gently Weeps.

George wrote and sang "WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS"

LOL The song was written LITERALLY about the sun finally coming out coz winter was ending in London and George was so relieved. That’s The Beatles for you.

George wrote both while my guitar gently weeps and here comes the sun among many others although the majority of Beatles szongs were written by John and Paul.

LOL The song was written LITERALLY about the sun finally coming out coz winter was ending in London and George was so relieved. That’s The Beatles for you. George wrote WMGGW, too, BTW.

George Harrison also wrote While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Consider: Beatles top selling at 300 million units, but they only recorded from 1963 to 1969, a total of 7 years. The foundations of the group were set first with Paul and George playing guitar together, then Paul approached John and started playing guitar and writing songs, then Paul brough George back into the mix. The three were 16yr-old John, 15yr-old Paul, and 14yr-old George. George explains that he felt intimidated by the two older boys; he says the two wrote loads of songs, many of them terrible at first but learned to be better over time. George didn't start writing until years later, and he still had to get through that learning phase, making mistakes until he could improve his songwriting craft. By the time George started getting reasonably good, the Lennon/McCartney team were not only writing the best songs, but they took up all the album space, leaving him maybe one or two songs per album. As George improved, that should have been corrected, but it wasn't; this led to tensions in the group. By the time the band broke up, George was a good songwriter with a backlog of songs he had written over the years, which he was able to sprinkle into his newer songs on his solo albums. ________________________________________________________________________________ 1964 had "She Loves You", "Please Please Me" and "Twist And Shout". Pretty primitive stuff. But the Beatles came from blue-collar Liverpool; they didn't see much of recording studios until Brian Epstein took on management, cleaned them up, and got them a recording contract. 1965 was the year the Beatles released Rubber Soul. And everything changed. George Martin had given them the run of the studio, taught them techniques, and let them tell HIM what sounds they were looking for. He gave them a freedom seldom allowed any previous rock band. When you contrast "She Loves You" to "Norwegian Wood", it's a sea change. Or "In My Life". ________________________________________________________________________________ This song was written by George Harrison, released in 1969. It's generally considered to have sprung from his seeing the band was breaking up. Things had been getting more and more contentious in the last year or so. George's songs were also still being kept mostly off records. The end was near, and George could see it. This song expressed his relief that the fighting was nearly over, that the shackles of being a Beatle were about to break. Yes, he felt some sadness, but there was more exhilaration and a sense of peace approaching. Likely this is what you're picking up from the song. ________________________________________________________________________________ Analyzing the quality and meaning of Beatles songs is going to be difficult if you don't at least consider the songs in a timeline. They grew incredibly fast in the short time they worked together. Their first exposure to America on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 was just before George turned 20yrs-old. The band broke up when George was about 26. And they started really early, influenced by R&B, Motown, and 1950s rock and roll. They followed their influences from their early teens to their very-early twenties, then they led everyone else. They were great friends with the Rolling Stones, having come from the same background and city, and when the Beatles put out the landmark Sgt Pepper album, the Rolling Stones followed with "Their Satanic Majesties Request". The Beatles led the culture all through the 1960s. If you want to understand how they developed, how the culture developed, you have to at least pay attention to the dates. ________________________________________________________________________________ Recommendation: "It's All Too Much", from the 1969 Yellow Submarine soundtrack, another banger by George Harrison.

The album cover pic is a funereal precession of the Beatles walking across the cross walk as they we all were aware that this would be their last real album together

Here’s the songs Gabe needs to hear. -Tax Man (Harrison) -Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Reprise -Hey Bulldog -Revolution (not 1 or 9) -Back In The U.S.S.R. -Happiness Is A Warm Gun -Get Back -I’ve Got A Feeling -Come Together -Oh Darling -Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End -I Want You (She’s So Heavy)

You cant be unhappy with this song, thank you, its -4 out side and in my kitche heaters packed up.but i will be happy in my Baltic kitchen making a coffee and a tea,from North(ish) England.

I was 10 when the album was released and not in to music at the time. My uncles in Ireland were always mocking modern music, taunting "she loves me yeah! yeah! yeah!" on grandmother visit days as if it was my fault. We visited my cousins in Limerick within the next year, and the oldest had a cassette player with the original Abbey Road cassette release and I started playing it and liked it. I never seriously got in to The Beatles (shoot me) but I think Abbey Road is very easy to like. I worked as a driver for families near the studio in London on and off for the last 35 years. Aged 15 when I started working I was big in to Elton John and David Bowie albums, but who wasn't i guess. I just learned on a search that John Lennon wasn't on the track at all, recovering from a car accident at the time; and as mentioned in comments George wrote and sang this, which I never knew.

You need to check out Come Together and especially, I want you (she's so heavy), which i regard to be their mangnus opus. It was the also the last time they played together, at the same time.

Get him to listen to Hey Bulldog , Lady Madonna, and Rain . He will deffo love the three of them, Oh and Back In The USSR also

Not only the same group as "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", it's the same PARTICULAR composer, who only wrote a rather small percentage of their songs - George Harrison!

Play him I WANT YOU from Abbey Road. The Beatles were all about variety. Also, even with the Beatles, sometimes it takes awhile for people to warm up to a song with multiple listens.

Almost Cut My Hair Today. CSNY. ❤

I believe Chicago has the most number one hits i think around 101

Same album......Oh Darling

How about "Honey Pie", a song written in yet another very different style? Or if you like to be taken back to your childhood, try "All together now" or "Yellow Submarine". 🙂

Play him Tomorrow Never Knows

Boy, HCTS is from Abbe y Road, the last Beatles album. Unlike other artists that faded away towards obscurity, waning popularity and/or retirement, The Beatles did the best thing that all artists must do if they want to cement their legend in music history: they quit while on they were on the toppermost of the music food chain.

The Beatles also wrote songs for other artists.

hahahahahaha that prince impresstion on point but purple rain movie was ace.

Hey MI fan (Nick) & CSK fanatic (Gabe)😅 pls React to another Beatles classic " Norweigan Wood"

Today's listeners are always asking what genre a group's music is in. The Beatles weren't limited to any particular genre...they just wrote the music that was inside them.

When you went to the UK, did you go to Abbey Rd?

Just like the BEACH BOYS, the WRECKING CREW was the band who played all the MONKEEs songs. The Beatles were a real band that played all their instruments and sang The monkees and beach boys were mostly just singers or actors.

George wrote Here Comes the Sun

I believe this song is about the second sun thats coming

Beatles did it all in 7 years.

“Come together” is on the same album! Please react to it

20 #1 hits really is bananas. But Merle Haggard had 38, and Ronnie Milsap had 40. Number.....one.....hits.

Check out the version by Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel

George wrote….. while my guitar gently weeps, Taxman, think for yourself, here comes the sun, and the real highlight…. Something.

This is an understatement of the importance of the Beatles. First of all, subtract the Beatles from history and rock might not exist anymore. If it did, it wouldn't sound like it does today. Furthermore, they impacted everything in society, not just music. Their effect on western culture is incalculable. It would be nice if you did a little more from their first 3 albums.

Happiness is a warm gun,I want u,anna,let it be, I got a feeling,dear prudence..

Has Gabe checked out Prince's version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps at the RnR Hall of Fame? Also, the Monkees were a direct rip-off of The Beatles as they were in 'A Hard Day's Night', so that mistake was understandable.

Amends 'Gets'

Try another great George song; "Something".

Try drivers seat back up singer outs on one hell of a show he is noel shine

I love it, but you keep playing Gabe relatively lightweight songs? Not the ones I'd play if I was trying to convert someone.

You should react to come together (beetles) Michael Jackson covered it on the History album so might ring a bell with Gabe. Oh and my favourite beetles song is ‘In my life’

This is also George Harrison

Why does he shout and screech?

He needs to listen to A Day in the Life.

The Beatles and the Monkeys are not even close. As a 58 yo it’s hard to believe they would even be mentioned in the same conversation. Prince was more than you realize as well. Princes best was not what you have heard. He was a very misunderstood musician. His blues guitar skills were unreal and not even heard by most.

The United Nations asked the Beatles in the early 70’s to get back together and have a concert to benefit Africa. They estimated the Beatles reunion would have brought in millions of $$$$.

Just randomly came across this, and I did subscribe, and I see where you've done Helter Skelter recently so I'll check that out but man you guys really ought to react to their latest and last release, now and then, the official music video. The whole back story is astounding and Peter Jackson that did Lord of the Rings also did the video work on that where they stand old never before seen footage of The Beatles from Hello Goodbye in the light 60s, and put it together with shots of them attempting this song in the 90s when they had to just give up on it because of Technology constraints trying to get John Lennon's voice out of this old cassette tape demo where he played piano and sang in his living room with a kung fu movie playing in the background with his little kid running around. This was about 3 years before he got assassinated in 1980. And so they finally were able to get his voice isolated and do a mix until you've got the two remaining beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo starr, kind of reminiscing and singing and giving tribute to John and George who are no longer with us. And it's likely the last thing we'll ever see from them and they double down on that at the end. I've seen so many reactors actually cry on camera while watching it for the first time. I've seen it over 40 times now including tons of reactions and by the way they don't seem to be blocking it, and it still makes my allergies act up every single time.

The most streamed Beatles song by a long long way and it's not even written by John or Paul.

The Beatles CHANGED music and kept changing it until they broke up. You would have to study the music that came before them to understand how important they were.

Congratulations, your persistence in flogging this dead horse has given him a glimmer of hope with now 2 out of about 200 Beatles songs that he likes. Have you got enough life left for this project? Have you seen the Monty Python Parrot sketch? You're a bit like the shopkeeper in it.

Tip on the Beatles. Typically whoever is singing the song wrote it. They were all songwriters, and the first popular band to do it that way intentionally because John wanted to show their versatility.

Well done Gabe, you sussed the Beatles .. diversity. Not really classifiable - rockers, love songs, humour ... they're all there. Great songs, well sung, innovative. Try "Penny Lane" next. Also Gabe, I sense a counter attack for you with Prince. Hit Nick with "Little Red Corvette", "Sign O' The Times", "If I Was Your Girlfriend", "Anotherloverholenyohead" etc. etc. 🤩

Not really a fan of the Beatles yet if you listen to most artists around the world they will say they inspired them the greatest group ever just not for me

George was going through hard times, woman trouble, and Lennon McCartney were ignoring his songs, bummers.

“Not willingly heard Prince songs” Dude. Now it’s your time on the naughty step. That’s unacceptable. Your friend has to guide you to Prince on the channel. With both Beatles and Prince, this must be a weekly lesson for both of you.

Y’all taking more than a minute, MAX, before you play the goddamn song, is a travesty. Y’all have nothing important to say in relation to The Beatles. Play the shit and react.

React to “Oh, Darling” - yet another Beatles genre.

George also wrote While My Guitar Gently Weeps.
