I always dug this but I've never known what a collective bunch of Beatle fans thought about it.  What do you think?  Like it?  Hate it?

I love annoying people and jsut repeating the words "number 9 number 9 number 9 number 9"


I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we pass the audition.

I don't like it, but then again I probably don't understand it.

Anthology tells that in fact it was Paul who was experimenting a lot with these tape-montage. He felt a bit pissed when John wanted to do Rev #9. He'd rather done it himself, for now all the credits of this 'masterpiece' go to John. But can you say he'd really 'wrote' it? I've listened to it many times, but still I can't figure it out exactly. Also being somewhat limped by not being a native English speaker, I guess. It scared the mess out of me the very first time I heard it. I'm used to it now, that's the best I can make of it. Not really a song, I think.

Anthology doesn't tell us: Paul tells us! He's always going on these days about how HE was the avante garde man, how he was into tape loops, yadda yadda. Paul: only your most fervent fans believe any of your revisionist nonsense. John went and DID things. While you were doing Honey Pie, John did Rev 9, and bit you on the bum! Take that Paulie!

Why can't you figure Rev 9 out, Borrie? It's the story of a revolution! Go listen to it with that in mind ... and it is obvious! Talk about having to spell it out!

Yes, you are right in fact. Paul is telling us. Hmm. But it's there and co-writers didn't seem to bother. Did they? It's true that John did it on the White Album and Paul didn't. He made Honey Pie, but then John did Bungalow Bill.

Revolution #9 does not turn me on, actually. But it's interesting and it makes the White Album complete. I mean, what would the album be without it? It would still be the White Album if they'd taken Honey Pie, for instance. Maybe a little bit less white... It's all these funny and weird things together that makes the album. And it's a fact that Paul is not the revolutionary kind.

Probably. But I'd miss it somehow. Got any alternatives?

Just go and tell Paul why don't you? lol.  The likes of us and you will never know. I'm surprised they had any bum left after all the chunks they bit off each other.

Ydoll likes to spell things out for us Borrie.
