Putting together I Am The Walrus and Blue jay Way? Don't be surprised if there's ever a second remix album if this one is so profitable!

I'm sure that LOVE will be a big success   ... but I'm nor so sure that the excuse used here (the soundtrack for a show) could be used again or even that the alive members and Yoko and Olivia, -all of them and at the same time-, will ever agree  to allow anyone to do something like this again ... sadly   ... (I wish I was wrong  ) ...

P.S. Closer to the topic now, I think ... LOL!

That's not hard to predict. It already is a big success.

Well, not a very risky thing to say, maybe   ... but after just a few days it could seem a big success ... but I think we should wait some more to assure it   ... after Xmastime at least   ...

Christmas will gain the big sales figures. No doubt why they released it recently.

Yep, and, because of that, I think that January and Februry will test the album sales ...

A success is not only counted by sales.

you are as pretty as you are smart....go on and splain axo why you think calling them the guys make it seems like you personally knew them....it does seem a bit presump...and i wasn't going to say nothing but since she did i will agree...it appears stoopid....


Thanks for the compliment. I see, but i think it's a bit silly, but i didn't mean to upset anyone. Still i think to talk of The Beatles as The Guys, with capitals, is confusing and not necessary. Like calling somebody you don't know a friend. Or giving a nickname to somebody you don't really know.

Raxo hardly ever spells it with capitals. Calling them the guys is just endearing I suppose he feels. I call them the guys sometimes too. Another good Raxo idea!

I agree with Tamara here. It is silly. Especially when it's used in the names of albums. Why don't we call them The Rolling Stones, the Kinks or the Who instead? Like: Kinks For Sale, With The Kinks... Sounds good and even better than 'Guys'. Capitals are used quite often by the way. Hey! Let's call this place DM's Kinks Forum!

I just found out on allmusic.com that The Guys are in fact the band that released the timeless classics "Guys" (2004), "The Guys Christmas Party" (2004) and "Live At The Party" (2006), so please let them keep their name and let the Beatles keep their name, otherwise it would be WAY too confusing.

Back on topic:
This new version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is hands down the best version I ever heard of the song.

Agree on this ...
... all of you love to be off-topic too ... like me, I see!

Well, backing back to topic: I think that the best point oon While My Guitar Gently Weeps (LOVE version) is that the classical approach and its sound quality make it look as an "alternate studio version", if you know what I mean: for an outsider or casual listener (not a fan, obviously) this could be an unreleased outtake ... a highlight of this album (the best track, if you ask me) ...

Well, I broke down and finally bought it, and it pisses me off that it sounds so good because their entire catalog needs remastered. As for the album itself, its good for the first few listens, but i'm not going nuts over it.

I agree. My second favorite would be Strawberry Fields Forever. I love the way how the demo evolves to the final version.
