Why did GM last so long
« on: September 06, 2005, 03:00:00 AM »
George Martin produced them but he also put in all the orchestras and sh*t that no one liked. so why then did the beatles at least ask him not to tamper with their music. even Paul didn't like having the orchestra in his songs on LIB. He also ruined the YS album cause 3/4 of the album was his scores. So why did they allow him to do that, i mean besides the fact that he did produce them.

LIB was not his doing, though I don't mind the orchestra there at all.

I believe they really lked his input.

And I think there was nothing better to put on the Yellow Submarine-album. It was a bunch of left-overs, Yellow Submarine and All You Need Is Love. They didn't have any new material recorded at all.

Phil Spector added the stuff to the 'Let it Be' songs, and the orchestral pieces for 'Yellow Submarine' were fine due to it being a soundtrack.

Trust me, if there were strings or any other instruments added to songs in the studio, the boys knew about it. Either they wanted it or George Martin would relay an example of an idea and they would decide.

To say that George Martin "tampered" with Beatle recordings is certainly a unique point of view.

Just realised this is probably another social experiment a la "Lennons Legacy". Is it a full moon or something?

Yes, that's what I thought too. Are you actually a Beatle fan Somedude or is the entire point of your existance on this board solely to rub people up the wrong way?

Because YOU don't like it doesn't mean "NO ONE" liked it.

This post is a set up. He wants you to go all defensive so he can proclaim how gulliable we all are (see "Lennons legacy").
Thank you.

yes, i am a beatles fan and have been since i discovered them a few years ago. but playing devil's advocate and making these outlandish statements to fellow beatles fans is just something i do. yes, my lennon's legacy was me just messing with the minds of beatles fans but i've also posted a question now solely for fellow beatles fans to give me their opinions. don't give me a "cry wolf" thing and just because i did one thing to you in legend's legacy, doesnt mean i'm not a beatles fan or am here only for being a pain in the ass. i honestly think that without GM's orchestra in LIB like paul had liked, and this is true, he did say that he was disgusted b/c he lost his song in LAWR and LIB. both songs, he felt, lost the feel with the added orchestra.

ok, so no more crap about Lennon's Legacy.

as for "the two best bands" that is also my opinion and i made my case as to why U2 should be considered #2 behind the beatles. whether some got p*ssed at me for saying it or couldnt figure out why i was saying it, well, this is a place where i can place my opinions. i just wanted to tell you my opinions and defend them when i was objected to.

It wasn't George Martin's orchestra on Let It Be. It was Phil Spector's 'wall of sound' that bothered Paul. And how can we tell when you're playing the devils advocate and when you're serious about something?

Woah, wait a minute: "LIB was not his doing, though I don't mind the orchestra there at all."

That was my reply and the first one, basically saying the same thing, just without the mention of Phil Spector.  I demand credit  8)
