Really, I love them all, though.

The 1966-70 output relied almost entirely on Paul's dedication to keeping the Beatles going. Should be deified.

No George was. He had a more mellow voice. He could sing higher and he was just better. Plus he wrote getter songs. Here is my list on how good they are

1.George
2.Paul
3.John
4.Ringo
5.Pete
6.Stue

Don't know where you get that opinion from, but it certainly does not match reality.

Paul had the most fluid voice of the bunch.  John had a perfect 'rock' voice.  Some of his singing (as in Day In The Life) can give you chills every time you hear it.

George was capable.  Listen to some of his outtakes, like Don't Bother me's single (not doubled) vocal.  Whew!

And Ringo, well....he had all the personality. :)

Post by: The End on May 16, 2004, 12:43:57 PM
I love George's vocal on Glad All Over - he certainly had some grit to his voice, he didn't use it that much though. I can't think of another time he sang in this way: listen to how he sings "It don't take much luck to see what I've got. But it shows, yeah it shows." Brilliant!
Title: Re: How bout this. Age old topic
Post by: on June 03, 2004, 07:42:43 PM
Yeah, oddly enough his pre-fame live stuff was much better than the post fame period in many ways.

Possibly because he was singing a lot more, and louder (due to club noise)?

Herb[/quote]

I thought Paul was the best musician of them. Am I wrong? Just based on how many instruments he could play and all.
Title: Re: How bout this. Age old topic
Post by: Billy Shears on August 13, 2004, 06:42:09 PM
i've often heard that george was easily the best musician, i think playing lead, you have to be good....his guitar work was way ahead of his time....volume pedals, wah wah's, slide, he pushed a lot of those sounds to the forefront...not to mention sitar...his backing vocals are unsurpassed on their albums too....he was the best harmonizer of them. they were all good together...if you've ever played in a band, it's second nature to know exactly where everyone's going, and i imagine after playing 8 to 12 hr sets in hamburg, etc. i think it's safe to say, they knew when each other blinked. many other better musicians than the beatles....no better band.
Title: Re: How bout this. Age old topic
Post by: Soft_Guitar60 on August 13, 2004, 07:25:11 PM
George played 26 instruments: guitar, sitar, 4-string guitar, bass guitar, arp bass, violin, tamboura, dobro, swordmandel, tabla, organ, piano, moog synthesizer, harmonica, autoharp, glockenspiel, vibraphone, xylophone, claves, African drum, conga drum, tympani, ukulele, mandolin, marimba, and Jal-Tarang.
Title: Re: How bout this. Age old topic
Post by: Sondra on August 13, 2004, 07:47:31 PM
I really wasn't questioning George's musical ability! I honestly have no idea about these things. I've just always heard about Paul and his playing so many instruments. Obviously they were ALL incredibly talented!! It certainly wasn't my intention to offend anybody. Really.

Could someone list the instruments Paul played? Just curious. I can't find that info anywhere.  :D

I'm a Pete Best fan -- if only because of the interesting irony that his fame grew in the fact that he never had the career he could have had.....I've always wondered how Ed Sullivan would have sounded if he said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome John, Paul, George and Pete -- the Beatles!"

I'm voting for Paul because I think he sometimes gets a bad rap. I consider John and Paul equals as musical geniuses. I do not consider George and Ringo as being in the same ballpark. If Paul had died instead of John or George I suspect he would be given more credit on this and other forum's that I have looked at.

My two cents...
