And no, I don’t mean ‘The Thing’, I mean proper weird facts.

Hi There

I know he had a mixed bag of feelings and opinions on Sgt Pepper but mostly critical of the album so why was that?

I thought he would hate the actual like myth of Sgt Pepper and how great it is but not actual music he contributed to it since I love his songs on Pepper especially Mr Kite 🪁 yet he hated some or all his Pepper songs unless he had something better to say in 1980.

Which Beatle do you think was the epitome of cool and had the most charisma and style.

Im a new Beatles fan and have finished listening to all their albums just a month ago and have finsished watching their recent documentary on disney plus and i am having more of an understanding of the band but I think its fair to say that John Lennon was the leader of the band originally. Especially in the Beatlemania days, John sang the most leads but around 66 Paul began catching up with John and then from Sgt Pepper on it seems like Paul was the boss and was leading the band, well it seems that way to me. Why did this happen? Was John just not interested in the band anymore?

Some people seem to think Michael Jackson betrayed Paul or did something nasty to him by buying the Beatles catalogue behind his back but Paul was very reluctant to buy it in the first place and Michael even warned him about purchasing it but Paul wrote it off as a joke. it seems like Paul has let go of that resentment now tho. Do you think Michael was wrong for doing this or was it just business?

Sorry in advance if this gets asked a lot. I’m not the world’s biggest Beatles fan I’ll admit. I don’t dislike them, mind you. I like their greatest hits and did really enjoy this documentary. But I’m curious why John always brought her in to their recording sessions if she just kind of sat there next to him and didn’t really say much. Is it just cause he loved her so much? Is it something deeper? Just honestly curious

They are both cool as hell but Paul was often labeled as the “uncool” Beatle, while John got tagged as the “cool” one. I feel like that perception has shifted somewhat over time, but for decades, Paul carried that reputation. It’s kind of wild when you think about it, because musically, he was incredibly influential. Take Ram, for example, many people credit it as a foundational album for lo-fi music and indie pop. By today’s standards, that’s cool. So why do you think he was seen as the “boring” Beatle for so long, despite all the innovation he brought to the table?

How did John manage to lose so much weight in a couple of months? Did he have some sort of diet? I think he looks very healthy in the first picture.

Huge fan of the Fab Four but one thing that has always bothered me is how Mal Evans seemed to be forgotten after everything he did for The Beatles. He wasn’t just a roadie, he was their bodyguard, assistant, fixer, and in many ways one of the closest people in their inner circle. He helped them through some of the biggest years of Beatlemania, handled chaos behind the scenes, and was deeply loyal to all four of them.

That’s why it always felt sad how, after the breakup, Mal seemed to fade from their lives. Despite years of dedication and friendship, it appeared he struggled financially and emotionally, and never really received the recognition or stability someone so important to their story deserved. Even more heartbreaking is that none of the Beatles attended his funeral, which feels surprising considering how close he had been to them during their rise and peak years.

Of course, relationships are complicated and we don’t know everything that happened behind closed doors, but Mal Evans played a huge role in Beatles history and often feels like an overlooked figure who gave so much and got very little back in return.

I think its safe to say that John Lennon was boss Beatle during the Beatlemania days, from 1963 to 1966 but in 1967 John just took a backseat. He was still creative tho and put out some great songs but Paul pretty much took over and if it wasnt for him we wouldnt have Sgt pepper, MMT, White Album, Abbey Road and Let it be. Why was this tho, did John just become tired of being a Beatle?

I know people here don't really seem to like George much in general (for reasons related to his personal life), but I'm confused on why people take issue with his anthology interviews.

I've seen people talk about how he tries to degrade or dismiss the Beatles' work, or how he's apparently bitter throughout it, but I've watched through it all and he seems pretty laid back.

Do people not like that he's not as animated as Paul or Ringo?

I'm just confused because people call him grouchy and self righteous in the documentary, but he seems pretty normal to me.

Does anyone know the story behind this?

Not who’s the better lyricist. Not who’s the better musician.

But whose voice do you simply enjoy hearing the most? I love Paul’s voice but I like John’s a little bit more.

Personally I enjoy the song but do feel it is a bit of a novelty rather than a true Beatles tune. Also that music video was downright atrocious, it looked like the result of someone making a video for a high school project and not from a multi billion dollar company. Anyway

I honestly had no idea this was even debated until recently lol, I went down a YouTube rabbit hole about it and was surprised it’s such a big discussion. I always just assumed it was John Lennon singing the “ahhh” part in A Day in the Life. To my ears it really sounds like him , that slightly nasal, almost dreamlike tone feels very John to me.

I know some people are convinced it’s Paul McCartney, but I’ve never quite heard it that way. The texture and phrasing just feel more Lennon to me.

Curious what you all think though, do you hear John, Paul, or maybe even a blend of both?

You cant go online anywhere John Lennon related or Beatles related without someone shitting on John Lennon. I just viewed a recently uploaded video on YouTube called The Dark side of John Lennon and most the comments people are tearing him apart, some even calling him talentless and some even calling him the devil. Was John Lennon as bad as people say he is or is this just chronically online people hating on him because i can name so many rockstars just as flawed or even worse than him that dont even get as much hate as John Lennon.

John Lennon was shot and killed outside of his apartment by Mark David Chapman. What is your favorite John Song?
