Ringo Starr played the drums with an incredibly unique feel that nobody can really copy, although many fine drummers have tried and failed. Most important, they always fit right into the arrangement. They made writing your own material expected, rather than exceptional.Īnd John Lennon and Paul McCartney were exceptional songwriters McCartney was, and is, a truly virtuoso musician George Harrison wasn’t the kind of guitar player who tore off wild, unpredictable solos, but you can sing the melodies of nearly all of his breaks. They had already absorbed Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers and Chuck Berry, but they were also writing their own songs.
Compared to rabid R&B evangelists like the Rolling Stones, the Beatles arrived sounding like nothing else. It wasn’t the first time anything like this had happened, but the Beatles achieved a level of fame and recognition known previously only to Charlie Chaplin, Brigitte Bardot and Elvis Presley, along with a little of the airless exclusivity of astronauts, former presidents and other heavyweight champions.Įvery record was a shock.
My experience - seizing on every picture, saving money for singles and EPs, catching them on a local news show - was repeated over and over again around the world.
I was exactly the right age to be hit by them full-on. The Beatles even recorded for Parlophone, which was a comedy label, as if they believed they might be a passing novelty act. Prior to that, the people in show business from the north of England had all been comedians. The funny thing is that parents and all their friends from Liverpool were also curious and proud about this local group. I didn’t care about that they were the band for me. The photo was badly lit, and they didn’t quite have their look down Ringo had his hair slightly swept back, as if he wasn’t quite sold on the Beatles haircut yet. This was 1962 or ’63, before they came to America. I spent most of my holidays on Merseyside then, and a local girl gave me a bad publicity shot of them with their names scrawled on the back. I really recommend this show all you wuxia lovers.I first heard of the Beatles when I was nine years old. No wonder Jin Yong doesn't want TVB to make adaptation of his novels, TVB is way behind mainland china when it comes to action and locations. The show has really great kungfu fights and sword fights which i have never seen in anyother wuxia from Hongkong TVB production. This show is actually the very first mainland production of Jin Yong novel. This is definetly in my top 5 all time favorite wuxia shows. The story is pretty good and you will get addicted to the show once you start it. Li Yapeng as Linghu and Xu Qing as Yingying are just mind blowing, both really look great on the screen. Although i have not seen anyother version of Xiao Ao Jianghu, still i feel this is definetly the best adaptation. Review: This show is based on Jin Yong's novel. Watch this show to know more of the story. They pass on the score of their music piece Xiao'ao Jianghu to Linghu before their deaths. Liu and his friend, Qu Yang of the unorthodox Sun Moon Holy Cult, commit suicide after being cornered by the pugilists. However, the event culminates into a bloodbath when the orthodox sects accuse Liu of unfaithfulness to their code. Meanwhile, Liu Zhengfeng of the (South) Mount Heng Sect announces his plans to retire from the jianghu and invites fellow pugilists to witness the ceremony. He befriends notorious lecherous bandit Tian Boguang and rescues pretty nun Yilin of the (North) Mount Heng Sect from being raped by Tian. The protagonist of the novel is Yue's eldest disciple Linghu Chong, an orphaned, happy-go-lucky but honorable swordsman who loves liquor. Yue and his kindly wife accept Lin as their new disciple before the rest of his pupils and trains him in swordplay. Lin Pingzhi, the only son, survives and is rescued by Yue Buqun, the leader of the Mount Hua Sect, part of the Five Mountain Sword Sects Alliance that binds the Taoist Five Great Mountains.
