I don't blame Yoko for breaking up the Beatles, but having her wheeled around on a gurney during the White Album didn't help any. If anything, I'd blame John's obsessive-compulsive disorder, psychological problems and ill-advised drug intake for the split. It's amazing the band lasted as long as it did before he basically imploded. The other three guys were basically emotionally healthy. George himself stated in the Beatles Anthology that the other guys didn't realize how f***ed up John was until he did the primal scream record.

A band doesn't last forever and I think there are several people you can blame for this breakup, but in the end, there wasn't much left for them to do. I disagree with Ydoll and Indy that Abbey Road was a bad album and think there were some superb songs, along with a few bad ones ( but what album doesn't have a 'Her Majesty' or 'Polythene Pam'). However, I do agree that their later works wouldn't have been as genius as their work in their prime. You can't be a good band if the members don't cooperate and John's paranoia

i think what we thought was a beatle was different than what they thought.

This is a really good point. Yoko was quoted last week as saying that John didn't feel he was that famous. He said if he'd have been born in New York City he'd have been bigger.

There's something sad about that...

If he only knew how BIG he really was.

It was...

1 part Yoko

1 part Linda

1 part growing apart as people

1 part frustration at never being able to play live without it being a total zoo

1 part frustration over business affairs

1 part pride

1 part desire to have a real life outside of The Beatles and...

1 part inability to work together effectively

Stir 'em all up and you have a break up waiting to happen.

They broke up during a time in Rock history when it was unheard of for band members to do solo projects outside of a group or go on an extended haitus. All of these things would become common place in the 70's and beyond.

And ego

beatlesnumber9 · « **Reply #33 on:** March 30, 2005, 02:32:14 PM »

Definitely ego, huge egos. John said, "there just wasn't enough room for 4 egos on one album anymore."

But then, The Rolling Stones didn't break up. The Beach Boys are still a band. Even Queen is touring this summer. The Beatles were just TOO big.

I guess? I mean, it was pretty ugly for a few years. If, as is said, they put all that behind them, I guess we should too.

The Beach Boys aren't really a band... thee's been a lot of petty squabbling going on from what I've heard. Especially between Brian and Mike.

The biggest part of Queen is dead, however. That's sans one ego

I wouldn't buy a ticket. It's not Queen without Freddie, but they're are gonna give it a shot.

The Beach Boys are a trip. Brian is a genius. I'm so glad Smile was well recieved. They've had a lot of quarrels, but they didn't break up. Just an observation... I DIG The Beach Boys! Awsesome sound.

The Stones are Keith and Mick. Wyman has said he gave up suggesting anything musically. The other band members rode the 'gravy train.'
Beach Boys didn't write, except Brian.
The Beatles were all song writers with creative ideas. Too much energy. It imploded.

lennonlemon · « **Reply #38 on:** March 31, 2005, 04:52:27 AM »

flux brings up a good point. they all wanted their input and thats sometimes bad cause their ideas might confront.
