Title: More Abbey Road Pics
Post by: The End on March 28, 2005, 11:27:07 PM
Well... I'm back from Abbey Road!

Just to warn everyone else who's going - you are not allowed to take ANY pictures inside the building! I was disappointed to say the very least when I discovered that fact!

I wont give any other details away...

Here are the pics I DID manage to take!

This is me outside the entrance.

Okay, before the picture came in, I was expecting actual birds. You know, the kind that fly. I was wondering why you would call them fit. Birds in the UK, Chicks in the US. Where'd that come from?

Heres a pic. It was a real honour being in studio2. A real shame about no camera's inside. I saw a man nearly get kicked out for trying.

One of the security guards was REALLY over the top - on the way out, one of my mates happened to look through a glass window in a door, a guard spotted him and escorted him all the way out! Ridiculous! The same guard also told us to move on and not to wait for my other mates as we walked out. It kinda spoilt the day!

yes, the beard and also the fact that you had a certain sagacity and composure that you don't normally associate with young people.

One thing I forgot to mention...The organ that was used by Billy Preston on LIB was on display. The only other group it had on the placard was the band from where I live...The Bee's...Man have they achieved all my dreams!!!! LOL. Getting to use that and then having your bands name right next to the Beatles. What an honour!!!!!
You guys have got to check them out now!!! lol.
