Beatles Fans and Apologists

Posted on by


Remember the infamous Albert Goldman book ‘The Lives of John Lennon’?
(Nope – NA)

Goldman portrayed Lennon and his wife, Yoko Fucking Ono, as what they really were. High maintenance freaks, hypocrites and basically cunts of the highest order.

The outrage and indignation from Beatles fans, Lennon apologists and professional Scousers was like a tidal wave. And Lennon (and Fucking Ono) were painted like they were two heroes.

Now, this shit is happening all over again. Biographer Philip Norman has just put out a book about George Harrison.

Now, Norman (great name) upset and offended Beatle geeks years ago. He wrote an obituary for Harrison when he died in 2001. Which basically said George was a miserable cunt who always complained about his ‘lot’ as a Beatle. Norman also wrote about Harrison being a serial shagger, including his mate – Ringo Starr’s – first wife.

All true, but the fans went divvy, Calling Norman’s obit ‘drivel’ and ‘outrageous’. I read it and personally saw nothing wrong with it. But Norman is getting this stick again because his book tells us about how Harrison was a cunt to his first wife Pattie Boyd (Boyd confirms this), and how he also cheated on his second wife with hookers (McCartney all but confirmed this in Scorcese’s Harrison film). Harrison is also portrayed as misanthropic and paranoid. Even when McCartney and (mostly) Lennon tried to give him a leg up or compliment him (like the 1969 ‘Something’ as an A Side), he always saw wrong in it or it was too little too late. Norman also states that Harrison was not a great guitarist, singer, or writer. And Geoff Emerick (Beatles engineer and assistant to George Martin) said the same thing a while back. And, of course loony fans rounded on Emerick, just like they are doing now with Norman.

Nothing outrageous or new has been said in Norman’s book. But like the Goldman tome about Lennon, Beatles apologists are up in arms and ranting about how Harrison was as good as Clapton and Page as a guitarist (he wasn’t) and making out he was like Gandhii in a rock band.

And Gandhi was a cunt anyway.

  1. That`s Valerie Singleton, left just above the banner, and Ryan Gosling just above her, slightly to the right. Clearly a fake photo. Any more for any more? …

  2. Sorry Norman not a cunting I can get on board with.
    The beatles put simply were the greatest rock rock and roll pop band ever. They led others followed.
    Their song collection just up to 1970 when they split up as never been surpassed or will be. And take note not even the oldest Beatle had turned 30 by then.

    They were all fabulous players of their instruments (including Ringo , who knew his job was to back the band with a beat and not silly 5 minute drum soles) Harrison’s guitar playing was very complex. Go on a have a go at playing his parts.

    Keith Richards by comparison they most of his 3 chord songs in open G tuning. Saves him actually having to make bar chord shape very simplistic

    Each to their own but the fab 4 are the only good thing to come out of Liverpool ever with the exception of the East bound M62.

    • Couldn’t agree more, mate. My lad was coming home from university one time when ‘I am the Walrus’ was played on the radio. This was over ten years ago. He was blown away by it, lyrics, guitars and drums, orchestration – the lot – and came in asking , ‘Dad, what Beatles CDs have you got’? And, being an Arsenal fan, he’s no Scouser. Nowadays one of my grandsons is into them. I can’t say the same of many, if any, other 60s bands. They were and still are the most comprehensively accomplished of them all. I know a few wankers who say that they don’t rate them just to try to give the impression that there’s something far better that only a highly refined and tasteful few are privy to. Pretentious twats.

      • They were a band for the times we lived in.
        My Younger is a Queen devotee, despite the fact that Freddie died before she was born.
        She just loves their music.

        I like Franz Ferdinand, but also Arlo Guthrie, it wouldn’t do if we were all the same, life would be truly stultifying.

      • Yeah, good old Bob loved him so much, he ripped his style off, the cunt.

        Can’t stand the twat.

      • No doubt about how great they could be. But the name and the legacy is now a cash cow, The Red and Blue albums are being reissued (several vinyl versions, of course) and they have been expanded with mainly obscure Harrison tracks/vocals. Obviously to please the Harrison estate. And releasing a 50 year old compilation just to flog that ‘last’ single is taking the piss. I’ve no doubt all these different versions of the same thing is tightwad Macca’s doing.

        Mind you, the Stones are even worse. 43 vinyl versions of Hackney Diamonds available.

      • Dylan had grown out of his Guthrie influenced beginnings within a year of getting his record contract with CBS.
        His most celebrated work, from ‘Bringing It All Back Home’ through ‘Blonde On Blonde’ to ‘Blood On The Tracks’ was totally devoid of anything remotely Guthriesque.
        And yes, the achievements of The Beatles, from ‘Please Please Me’ to ‘Abbey Road’ can never be overestimated.
        Post 1970 break-up, individually they were shite by comparison.
        Cash-in nonsense like ‘Free As A Bird’, ‘Real Love’ and the latest hype, ‘Now And Then’ are insults to The Beatles unsurpassed legacy.

      • MNC, Arlo recorded a superb short number ‘Now and Then’. It was the B-side of ‘The Motorcycle Song’ or vice-versa. Worth a listen. It’s on You Tube.
        I’ve read that you’re a rock ‘ard shorts wearer. I knock around with a gang of blokes who play acoustic guitars in a room in a pub every Monday. Just us in the room, nobody else. We’re all in shorts every summer but last Monday only two out of the ten were still wearing them, seeing who’s the hardest. One’s originally from Rochdale and the other from Widnes. I reckon the Rochdale lad’s got an advantage being born and brought up at altitude. A bit like Kenyans in distance running.

  3. The Beatles were off their time, but 60 years on…!
    My children haven’t a clue about them.

    Think on when you old buggers were in your youth were you listening to stuff from the twenty’s…

  4. Not interested in these cunts, even less so now they’ve dug up an old track demo Lennon recorded after he left the band, a track Paul tried to resurrect after yoko gave him the tape. Paul tried to fix it before but Lennons vocals were so rough Harrison walked away. Now Paul and Ringo with Harrison’s guitar from the previous failure along with A.I have managed to cobble it together and are releasing it as a final Beatles song.

    Talk about flogging a dead horse.

    It wasn’t written to be a Beatles song cunts.

    And finally some good news:
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-67236220

    • I wonder how much the board were influenced by the fact the pair of cunts were ‘high profile’, how the fuck can this verdict help any officer doing the job.

      • The fact people are raising a considerable amount of cash for the officers tells us what the public think!

      • Yes, that’s true. How many stop and search end up finding nothing, my guess probably the majority but either the police are allowed to use judgment or not.
        If these two had have been more cooperative from the start instead of kicking off I am sure the process would have been a lot easier.

  5. Poor Beatles, poor Jimmy, poor Cilla……not their fault they were born in Scouseland. Just let it go Norman.

      • Which Jimmy, Freddie? Tarbuck or Corkhill?

        ‘What is it, She Queen Babe Luv Girl?’

        ‘Ave me wife for a fiver! I’m only a dolelite!’

        ‘Oh shite! It’s Tommy McCardle! Run for it, Teh!’

        ‘Can’t be are Damon. E’ only spells bollocks with one L.’

  6. You can have fame ,fortune and millions of fans who would happily lick your arse clean and still be a massive cunt The way of the World

  7. Maybe he was a miserable cunt..
    He was a scouser after all.

    But he did finance handmade films which without, there would of been no life of brain, long good Friday, withnail and I.

    And Mr cunt engines and mis favourite the time bandits I know of their love for midgets.

    But obsessive fans are like that about everything, hence the obsessive..

  8. The Beatles aren’t my favourite band .

    But I reckon they’re the greatest band of all time.

    Mass appeal see?
    Little kids
    Old bids
    Hippies
    Revolutionaries

    Everyone liked them.

    They were a boyband
    They were innovators.

    Give them credit they weren’t scared to experiment when on top of their game.

    We’re they cunts?
    Probably.
    Most musicians are.

    Do I care one way or another? ..
    Naw.

    https://youtu.be/usNsCeOV4GM?si=z2YxN4lBUWH9Kohk

    I can’t name a band that could do this.
    Not then not now.

    Unsurpassed

  9. Dick Cavett said the most difficult interview he ever conducted was with that miserable cunt, shite guitarist and third rate Ghandi impersonator, George Harrison ( I’m paraphrasing).

      • Dick Cavett did some great interviews with Muhammad Ali.

        Genuinely liked each other and it shows.

      • There is a Cavett You Tube channel with all his best stuff on. Well worth checking it out. As an interviewer he far outclassed Parkinson.

      • Parkinson forever droning on about Yorkshire really pissed me off. Him and Dickie Bird were bad enough but worst of all was that barrage balloon headed and walking megaphone cunt Brian Blessed. I also remember an American asking Parkinson what made Yorkshire so special that he never shut up about it. The prick replied ‘Think Texas’.

  10. It’s not really the band themselves, it’s the fans who think they are all saints and flawless. The Granada Up Front programme which was about Albert Goldman’s Lennon book was unbelievable. Tony Wilson interviewed Goldman himself, but he was continually shouted down by apologists and professional Scousers like Allan Williams. Seeing Williams saying Lennon was a ‘cheeky Liverpool lad’ and a ‘lovable rogue’ when he hadn’t seen Lennon for years when he was alive was cringeworthy enough. But making out the notoriously nasty Lennon was some sort of cheeky Scouse chappy was laughable. The faux outrage at Lennon being criticised or questioned bordered on Scouse hysteria ‘E’d bedder not come to Liverpool!’ and that type of thing. The amount of Mickeys who crawled out of the woodwork because of that bool was staggering, even by their standards.

    Harrison was a decent player, but he did the same slide style of guitar playing for about 30 years. George was also a cokehead and a womaniser. Nowt wrong with that, it’s part and parcel of a rock star. But the fans go mental if anyone mentions this. Most rock stars are flawed and it’s part of their legend (Keef, Jim, Moonie, Hendrix, Marriott). But al lot of Beatles fans believe that Harrison was some sort of rock ‘n’ roll holy man who walked on water. As Lennon himself admitted, the Beatles were just as bigger bastards as everyone else (his very words). But – like Michael Jackson fans – there are a lot of Beatles fans who just refuse to accept or admit that.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmQHhXRS7uU

      • And you’re right about Keef. Loved the 60s Stones, but he’s been trading on the same riffs for over 40 years.
        Brian Jones taught him the G tuning anyway.

        The current Stones (what’s left of them) and their new (and awful) album have been cunted.

  11. And isn’t the cover to their ‘last’ single absolute shit?
    I’ve seen better photocopied bootleg tapes at car boot sales.

  12. Not much time for the Beatles.
    One or two oustanding tunes, that’s about it for this boy band.
    George Martin played most of the instruments when recording too.
    Ringo only showed up for photoshoots or tv appearances, and he was never involved in any recording of drums, apparently.
    That was something I read more than forty years ago, and not a recent internet crackpot theory.
    I’d like to believe it’s true.

  14. The Beatles were cunts, never liked them. Pretty Things, Kinks, Stones, Cream, Yardbirds, Hendrix, Them….

  16. Fame and fortune will almost invariably turn someone who’s a bit of a cunt into a monstrous one. I just play it safe and assume all slebz are cunts unless they prove otherwise.
    I don’t care because we all have the right to be cunts and pay whatever price. I’m not sure how big a cunt I would be if famous and stupid rich but I’d like to find out.

    • You’re quite right, Meat.
      Put someone on a pedestal and worship them, they’ll soon think they really are Gods.

      A famous Ceasar used to have a slave follow him about, his only job was to whisper in Ceasar ear
      ” You are just a man”

  19. The only Beatles fan’s I’ve had a problem with was the celeb ones, or the ones who claimed they/their dads/ their mates etc went to the same school as Macca.
    Boring fuckers

    • That ‘Eight Days A Week’ film by Ron Howard was full of these cunts.
      Concorde Conk Streep, Whoopi Cuntberg and the like.

      And that James Corden McCartney carpool thing was sickening. An arselicking masterclass and totally staged. The ‘Impromptu; pub gig was fake as fuck and vomit inducing.

  20. Had to read up on my English slang. Didn’t know what a Scouser was.

    As had been said often on these August pages. Two different things can be true at the same time.

    The Beatles were a great band made up of 4 complete cunts.

    Were they the greatest ever? They were certainly successful but any judgement about who is the greatest is certainly subjective.

    There was a great story once on American TV about famous objects that had disappeared.

    Evidently, George’s red Les Paul guitar (seen in the Revolution video) had been stolen. Somehow it made its way to a pawn shop in LA.

    Some completely innocent guy bought it and the police were easily able to track him down as he provided his proper ID at the time of purchase. They called his phone number, (he lived out of state) he answered, confirmed it was him and that he had bought the guitar.

    Before they could go any further George snatched the phone from the cop and began shouting obscenities into the phone screaming and calling the guy a thief (and a whole of of other nasty things) and threatening him if he didn’t immediately return his guitar.

    As it turned out the guy was completely innocent. He just bought the guitar at a pawn shop. The owner of the pawn shop was known to the police as a fence for stolen goods and did not have the proper paperwork on the guitar so he’s the one who got arrested.

    The guy who bought the guitar did return it as he was a big Beatles fan. But George was a complete cunt to him and never apologized.

    They always said of the Beatles, the sum of the whole was greater than the individual parts.

    I think more accurately, the sum of the whores was greater than the individual cunts.

  21. Who cares about the fucking Beatles A group that was about 60 years ago Dad Music 👎Paul McCartney would flog a dead horse if he thought there was money in it I’ve had him in my Dead Pool for ages and the Cunt just won’t die 👎
    Yep Get Back To Where You once Belong the so called Fab 4 Fuck Off 👎

  22. Grat Nom, Norman.

    The Beatles were tat. Most of their songs were little more than nursery rhymes. La la, ooblah di, hey, yeah, yeah, love, help. submarine, strawberries. Utter wank.

    Top bands of the time for grown ups? The Stones, The Doors, King Crimson.

  24. Totally OT, one for the Horn Section.

    Sometimes, a news item catches my eye, I like the unusual items, but I’m not sure if it deserves a cunting, or maybe needs a bit more research. So I file it.
    Just been checking what’s in the cupboard today for items on the use by date, and found this.

    Might cheer up a dreary day!

      • Couldn’t agree more Paul. The Missus and both daughters are all taller than me. Never been a problem to any of us. When I’m working on the electrics I get the Missus to throw the switches on the consumer unit because she can reach them unaided. The elder daughter in particular, the doctor, is inches taller than me and built with it. Her party piece when she was in reception class was to throw her arms round my thighs, lift me off the ground and carry me across the room.

    • I’d date her. I like tall birds. I’d be slightly shorter but she’d feel very feminine after i’d finished with her.

  25. Oh for fuck’s sake, not THEM again!

    I know some on here love this band, but for the life of me I have NEVER understood their enduring appeal. I suppose it was natural to get swept up in the hysteria of the day (60+ years ago!), but their legacy is their music. I still consider it shallow, puerile and completely disposable. Harsh? Let’s take a quick look….

    Lyrically what do we get? “She loves you yeah yeah yeah”, “We all live in a yellow submarine”, “Help I need somebody, help not just anybody”. I could go on, but fuck me, really? Not exactly steeped in depth, intrigue and sophistication, is it?

    Musically what do we get? McCuntney on bass. Hahaha. The ghost of Mick Karn says, “fuck off you overrated prat”. Ringo on drums. Hahaha. The ghost of Neil Peart says, “jog on son, you’re not worthy”. Harrison on guitar. Hahaha. If you want genre defining, massively impactful with your very own unique sound, Geordie of Killing Joke kicks Harrison’s arse every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Lennon on keys. Hahaha. Do fuck off. Rick Wakeman, Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Keith Emerson would like a word.

    Production – what do we get? George Martin. Hmmm….that cunt produced the Ultravox album, Quartet. Their previous album, Rage in Eden, was produced by Conny Plank and is head and shoulders above Quartet in terms of sound, atmosphere and dynamics. CP actually knew what he was doing. GM didn’t really get it, so on that basis – next!

    Haircuts – what did we get? Yep, your mother’s favourite pudding bowl.

    I’ll stop there.

    Now obviously I’ve not listened to everything these overrated cunts have produced. Why would I? But everything I have accidentally heard has been shallow, puerile crap. Paperback writers, being back in the USSR, letting things be and wandering around in fields of strawberries. FFS!

    I don’t need to be a fan of a particular musical genre to be able to appreciate something that’s been well done. I couldn’t stand anything I heard by Michael Jackson for example, but for its genre it was well played, produced and performed. But for this bunch of Scouse cunts, I just don’t hear anything that suggests it’s high quality or genre defining. I honestly think many “fans” are “fans” because it’s “cool” to like The B*****s and so not the done thing to slag them off. It’s like it’s heresy to say anything negative about ‘the fab four’.

    Challenge to the fans – name ONE song by them which brilliantly demonstrates their song writing craft, musicianship and ability to deliver something of substance, depth and meaning. And I’ll give it a listen to see if I’m just plain wrong about them. In the meantime, I’m going to listen to the new album by the best Liverpool band ever, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark.

      • My teeth grindeth at the mere mention of them, Jeezum. Wish it weren’t so, but I just loathe everything about them on a scale that can barely fit within the confines of the universe. And that cunt is constantly expanding!

      • I’m a big fan of the Guthries, Woody and Arlo, I like that kind of stuff.

        Don’t mention Bob Dylan!

      • More like ‘Eight Courses a Meal’.

        Evening LL.

        It’s 12:05PM here. 4 hours to go before I log off from work and the drinking starts.

    • In the early 80s, The Smiths were talked about as ‘Manchester’s Beatles’. But that was unfair on The Smiths. They were great in their own right. Marr was an amazing guitarist, Joyce and Rourke (RIP) were a great rhythm section, and – strange as he was – Morrisey was a fine lyricist and frontman.

      Same goes for Creedence and the Byrds. Both were labeled ‘America’s Beatles’, but both the Byrds and CCR were as good as the Beatles, if not better.

      • Hey Everyonesacunt –

        31 minutes and 50 seconds? Plus it’s that bastard cunt of rancid shit stained puke, Rick Beato. I’ve watched some of his videos banging on about the best of this and the best of that. For me he lost every ounce of credibility after watching his Top 20 Keyboard Intros of All Time. He somehow missed Cars by Gary Numan. An absolute classic, genre defining, monster of an intro that is completely timeless and epic. And that cunt Beato didn’t list it, but managed to find room for Imagine by Lennon and Let It Be by The B*****s. Are you fucking kidding me?

        Beato is a massive cunt, with zero objectivity with total tunnel vision when it comes to music outside of his narrow personal preference. To him, it’s like electronic music doesn’t exist. I have tried to hate him more than I do and failed. My hatred is maxed out. The man’s a joke and shouldn’t really be your chosen spokesperson for anything B*****s.

      • Good evening IY. Both you and I know GN was light years ahead of his time. A vast number of modern tracks seem to have similarities to GN’s tracks from all those years ago.

        The Pleasure Principle from 1979 should be on everyone’s list for at least one listening foray.

      • You’re right, IY. Beato is a knob.

        Best keyboard intros? Bohemian Rhapsody’s intro is acapella vocals for a start.

        Keyboard intros? Japan and Ghosts, Vanilla Fudge’s You Keep Me Hangin On, A-ha’s The Sun Always Shines On TV, OMD’s Souvenir, Happy Mondays and Step On, Stranglers with Golden Brown and many Doors tracks.

        And the fact that he has left Small Faces and Tin Soldier off his keyboards intros list shows what a bellend he is.

      • I don’t hate Beato (he did point out the similarities of Williams’ music for Star Wars to Holst and Stravinsky, which needed explaining to pop culture fanatics), but, as Miles would say, that list is very ‘normie’.

      • Morning Paul –
        Well said, mate.

        I know every note, beat and nuance on The Pleasure Principle having listened to it many hundreds of times since ’79. It is an incredible album and my personal favourite of Numan’s back catalogue. Always has been.

        At the time, many detractors (and there were many, quite vicious too) just dismissed him as just the next pop act that came along. Slightly different and slightly weird sounding, but just the next big thing, nothing more. I remember the raging arguments at school with The Jam fans and people who followed The Police who, at the time, claimed their favourites were better and more deserving of success and adulation. Being that young and inexperienced, I had no idea that the music industry had been changed by Numan. He opened the door for other bands to get away with using synthesisers in pop music. Not the first to use synths as lead instruments by any stretch of the imagination, but the way he did it was ground breaking. Without Numan, whole genres of music wouldn’t have emerged when they did or sound like they do.

        He was a musical innovator and pioneer in many ways. We just don’t see that happen too often in our lives, but in 1979 it happened and me and you were there. It was ace.

        Maybe The B*****s fans think the same way about their band. One reason why I think they are dead wrong is because most/all of what I have heard by them sounds very much in keeping with their era and what passed for pop music at the time. In the late 70s, the charts were filled with disco, soul crooners and punk. Nothing wrong with that. Then Are ‘Friends’ Electric? was released and it sounded like nothing else. So completely different and stood out a mile from everything else around it. Music changed forever. Then Numan followed that up with Cars just a few months later. Absolutely stunning!

        Did the early singles by The B*****s, My Bonnie, Love Me Do, Please Please Me (I just looked these up by the way) change the music industry? I wasn’t there of course, but I’m willing to bet they didn’t. Case closed.

      • Good catch, Norm. Bohemian Rhapsody does indeed start with vocals. Quite brilliant too. What a voice Mercury had.

        I don’t know what it is about Beato, but he comes across as such a smug know-it-all. I find his whole demeanor deeply irritating. For someone who obviously likes to present himself as a musical expert, his bias and blatant ignorance of whole genres of music is shocking. As his top 20 keyboard intro list clearly demonstrates. It’s his channel and it’s OK to be biased towards the things you personally like I suppose, but to ignore music which is keyboard based in favour of bands he likes is just plain stupid and only serves to make him look ignorant and foolish. And a cunt.

  26. Most overrated pop crap ever.
    I got into music late 60s early 70s. Sabbath, led zep, hawkeind etc. Always loved rock and metal, bands now like tool blow anything the fucking mop top cunts could only dream of. As soon as I hear anything from them, it goes off.

  27. Bet all these famous cunts are orrible?

    Throwing tantrums because the orange juice isn’t from some organic farm,
    Or they stated that the cushions on the sofa should be Teal and these are green?!

    Fame fucks you up.
    Makes people monsters.

    You believe the arselickers.

    Meet someone famous?
    Insult them.

    You’d be doing them a favour.

    • ‘Negging’ – A tactic I use to chat up beautiful women, but I take it a bit far.

  28. Everyone is going to be a cunt from time to time. George certainly had talent – While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Something, for example, were his babies.

    Saying what a great chap he was doesn’t necessarily buy the baby a new bonnet. To label him a bit of a cunt is far more newsworthy for the curious of mind.

  29. I like their music, don’t really care whether they were cunts or not.
    After they split, three of the four produced good music. Which one of them didn’t ?
    Hint: the miserable git with round granny glasses.

  30. They’re no Steely Dan that’s for sure.

    In all seriousness though, I will admit to being quite a fan of The Beatles myself.

    I get the criticism regarding the over milking of the cash cow and such bollocks always causes resentment no matter who it is or what.

    However:
    Rubber Soul
    Revolver
    Abbey Road

    There’s 3 absolute fucking belter albums that one can never tire of listening to down the years.

    I know music tastes are obviously very subjective but to dismiss them as shite or whatever else is maybe taking the personal dislike a bit far. Especially when you consider just how much genuine fucking shite that’s passed for Pop Music in the years since.

    I get that some people (especially those who are of a similar age to the band members themselves perhaps) see them as nothing but a glorified boy band, but seriously???
    A boy band?

    Are we really comparing The Beatles with Take That or Westlife?

    Anyways – I’m a fan, I think they were fucking ace and long may their music be heard.

    And I generally can’t stand Scouse cunts as a rule either.

    Good Evening

    • I wouldnt dare compare The Beatles to Westlife or Take That.
      They’re more like One Direction, or as Six Dog said, the Monkees.

      Artless shite.

      • Evening CP…

        You can’t listen to the White album and compare The Beatles with One Direction..

        The nearest comparison One Direction could get to The Beatles would be thst they’ve possibly caught a Number 9 bus before.

      • Maybe not One Direction, but their early work is still pop that doesn’t stand out from their contemporaries.

        I’d take the Kinks over them anyway.
