Who said the famous quote "I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON ME FINGERS!" seconds before "Helter Skelter" ended on The White Album? I'm thinking its John, maybe Ringo? Any guess?
"Let me tell you how it will be. There's one for you nineteen for me."
" On September 9, eighteen takes of approximately five minutes each were recorded, and the last one is featured on the original LP. After the eighteenth take, Ringo flung his sticks across the studio and screamed, "I've got blisters on my fingers!" "
"It's fear of the unknown. The unknown is what it is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that--it's all illusion. Unknown is what it is. Accept that it's unknown and it's plain sailing. Everything is unknown--then you're ahead of the game. That's what it is. Right?”-JL
This was mentioned in Bob Spitz's book, The Beatles, and he said it was Ringo. John told him to literally beat the mess out of the drums, and so every take he was pounding away as hard as he could. After twenty-one takes, I would imagine that would form some blisters, as a drummer myself. Poor Ringo!
