Paul for instance always was much more smarter in hiding his flaws than John, though also less open. Further, he has the big advantage to be still alive, so it's more difficult to spit on him.

Paul gets spit on all the time, but the fact of the matter is that John really was a bigger a**hole than the rest of them. Regarding the four members and their flaws, Paul really was the best out of the bunch now that I think about it.

nah, Paul was very very egotistical, I mean imagine releasing your solo album 3 weeks before the final Beatle album, and an album where youve took over everyones jobs.................you just dont do that.

George in my mind was the nicest of them, not even an ego.

i disagree about the Sir Paul was very egotistical thing. i'm not saying that there is anyway to measure such a thing or that it really matters.  i always wonder why Sir Paul is not afforded the visionary label, since alot of his ideas are what fueled several albums, including Sgt Peppers and others. besides it's hard to measure creativity i would think. maybe the beatles were a done deal as far as being a creative entity in the studio goes, too much friction perhaps.

as far as george goes that's something to think about.
 ;yes

I dont want to be seen as kicking Paul the beatle, he was brilliant back then and sure was visionary imo..... I'll kick Paul the solo/Wings version though haha

I just didnt like the way Paul handled leaving the Beatles, that story of the other 3 going round to his house asking him not to release his album BEFORE Let It Be and Paul throwing Ringo out does say a lot about his ego...

but whatever, its all water under the bridge now, I just dont like it when Todd puts him up as some sort of saint hahaha

But yet it was fine for John to have Yoko in the studio at all times when they wanted to work? Talk about an ego. Paul released the album because the other three were sh*tting on him at the time. I'm glad he did it.

He banged Maureen though and wasnt the best towards Pattie. I cant let that go. The documentary that was recently out turned me off on him too.

The other three already kicked him to the curb though by suing him and so forth. I would have said f*** You too.

 ha2ha I admit that was a good one Kev.

I'm not putting Paul in the sainthood category, but when I do the third grade pro's and con's chart, he comes out on top of the other three. I just feel he was a better person to others is all. No biggie.

It became obvious that not only did Paul want to play all the instruments, he wanted to take over from Brian Epstein and george Martin as well

Having Yoko there was Johns little protest lol

As a fan there comes a time when you have to face the facts: The Beatles are bastards.

Would I like the Fred Seaman book? I'm going to get it anyway. It might make me cry a bit.

I know that Seaman's book is very controversial and many fans hate it. Personally, I must say that I'm glad to have read it, though it's certainly not my favourite one about John. But it gives an interesting insight about John's last months.

Some passages are enjoyable, some sad, some realitstic, some hair-raising, but one thing is sure: Seaman liked John and always disliked Yoko. It's up to everyone to make his own opinion about it. If you read it, it would be nice to write down your opinion in the forum.

Not in the US there isn't.  There used to be at one time though.  And that's sad.

Sure, you've got a point here, though there doesn't seem to be any "ethical code" for famous people in the US, does it ?

Further, Goldmann did a much worse "job" with his trash-book and wasn't even an employee of John, so...

thats my point though, Seaman was paid and presumably trusted not to wash any dirty linen in public and look how he pays John back
