What's your favorite Beatles song?

Alfred: worthless son I’m leaving John: *gets in famous band* Alfred: so uh John...

No mention of Harrison’s stabbing? Surprised as you could have depressed us some more

"One of the most successful groups to cross to America." THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MUSIC ACT IN HISTORY. " NOT one of them.

John was shot when he arrived at his place, not leaving, he was coming back from the studio.

Anyone: is famous Grunge: tHe TrAgIc StOrY oF-

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.

Amazing that Ringo was so sickly as a kid, and is now healthy and super-fit nearing 80.

I think John and Yoko were coming home from a recording session when he got shot. I don't believe he went out for dinner that night.

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 part about John Lennon’s death is incorrect. They weren’t at a restaurant, they were instead recording “Walking On Thin Ice” at the studio.

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.

Will never be anyone like The Beatles

I just saw Paul McCartney live and Ringo and Joe Walsh walked on stage and played. It was heavenly.

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!

Tragic was how much John care about his first born son.

Even with all those problems they are still the greatest band of all time.

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.

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.

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 birthday: November 1 Freddie Mercury's death: November 24 My brother's birthday: November 26 George Harrison's death: November 29 Can my birth month get any worse?

Who would have thought we'd ever live in a day were the Beatles outnumber the Ramones

I love all of the Beatles early years music when they were in their early days

My teenage boys and I still listen to the beatles, And PANTERA! We are rebels to the system

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..."

I saw ringo in concert last September! Absolutely incredible show, and ringo looks great.

#1 band ever. Their music catalog is outstanding, don’t think there ever will be a band who comes even close.

John took alot of secrets about Rock n Roll with him

2:02 love this moment haha

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 💚

2020.. and still a legend...

Guess what. Life is hard for most people. Life is hard and often full of tragedy. That is just the way it is.

Love is all you need.

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.

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.

I love them so much

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

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.

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.

wow im really never gonna get my 5 minutes back

“THE BEATLES ARE #1!!!!”🎸🥁🎤🎧🆒😎🔥💯👍✌️

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

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.

Sure would like to be able to talk with George about having that "death terror thing all worked out".

Besides The Beatles, music critics have also placed The Velvet Underground and The Beach Boys as "Most Influential" music of the last 100 years

Funny you should have posted this on the day you did. I saw both Paul AND Ringo live at Dodgers Stadium that day.

Thank you sir for the memories the fab 4 will forever be loved good or bad "All we need is Love" .... excellent comontery sir God Bless You

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...

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)

"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.

Goat of all bands

Not cool how u have only #johnlennon and #paulmcartney what about the other 2?

Let us guess: all those involved with the making of this despises the Beatles, at least be honest about it.

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 KZfaq 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.

For you kids out there if you want to understand the impact the Beatles had just think, people are still making videos on KZfaq 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!

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.

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.

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 ...

Great video great 👍

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?

Why is it always "tragic?" They lived like gods

The best Beatles video on KZfaq is "Beatles Narratives and the Lies We've Been Told."

Acid is NOT a soft drug. Cynthia Lennon has stated John was well addicted to that in the mid 1960's.

If you think that’s a tragic story you should get out more often

I would say their story is anything but tragedy..... LOL

I love the Beatles so much but this is sad

This is even better than the original tall tale of the formation of the band.

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.

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.

Very difficult question : I love a lot of their songs from the white album, REVOLVER, Sergent's Pepper, Abbey Road

We love you Beatles!!!!!

I don't like this video. 6 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

John wasn’t in gangs 😂🤦‍♂️

Is not a tragedy. Its existence is a blessing.

The greatest tragedy is the fact they didn’t release more music

You could have talked about George cheating on his wife with Ringo's wife

Half the story, Julia Lennon, Mary McCartney and Brian Epstein died much too early. Do your homework first.......

I want to cry now

This is not a tragedy, this is a blessing

I like Octopussy's Garden... Haha!

Why do you have to mention the name and show his face? Why?? Dislike x 1M, please.

3 musicians and a drummer changed the world of popular music.

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.

this video is full of miss information. awful!!

This guy cannot speak the words correctly. Amazing and I want to listen to this? Hahahahah no!

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 :(

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.

First dislike

Better than the Monkeys? I think not, sir...

KZfaq is the closest thing we have to a time machine...

'"Cause I'm happy just to dance with you, just to dance with you, oooh oooh, is everything I need, before this dance is through I think I'll love you too, cause I'm happy just to dance with you, I've discovered I'm in love with you, ohh ohh, ohh ohh, ohh" That's it! '=-) C'ya, CJ-4-JC 4evr ~

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.

This video proves that a bunch of people will vote to the positive out of ignorance.

4:56 RADIO Therapy? Never heard that one before.

Love 😘💋💕🥰 George to.

This guys are legends

You forgot to mention the part where McCarney dies in a car accident in 1966, and MI6 British Intelligence steps in to replace him.

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.

More Beatles stuff please :)
