Does anyone like those screams that the boys do, generally just before a guitar solo, c. 1962-65? Those screams are just one of the many things I love about the Beatles.

I was listening to "Slow Down", and John has some really great ones there, but the one just before George's guitar solo ranks as one of the best ever on a Beatles record IMO.

I also like the scream by Paul on "Can't Buy Me Love". Also at the beginning of the electric version of "Revolution".

Does anyone else like those screams  ? Any other good ones that come to mind?

Thanks  


I love John,
I love Paul,
And George and Ringo,
I love them all!

I like their shouting on "Twist & Shout" lol
(of course)
That makes the song well...what it is! hah
And, ummmm...i dont think you could call it "screaming", but i love the way Paul carries his voice on "Hey Jude". Towards the end, he seems to just drift away in his song.
(Another great sign of a pure, brilliant artist)
Listen to it, and see if you get what i am talking about.  

And, YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE.
hah

I like Paul singing Helter Skelter & Oh Darling.  He gets real loud in those ones.

I like the trippy scream in A Day in the Life done by Paul.


       Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would melt... Zap!                                                     My skin's soaked right through to the skin!

I always liked Pauls screaming at the end of 'Hey Jude'.

Also, Johns on 'Hey Bulldog' (Cripes I think it was John)

The change in tonality of Paul's voice, constrained or boarderline scream, in an otherwise mellow "Golden Slumbers"

Smiles awake you when you rise"

Yeah, George has that soft, surreal type of voice.
Very meaningful and constructed.

Paul is a great screamer, but I don't think he beats Lennon:

Anna (Go To Him)
Baby Its You
Twist and Shout
Mr. Moonlight
Please Mister Postman
Help!
Yer Blues
Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me and My Monkey
Hey Bulldog
Don't Let Me Down

Paul does have some good screaming parts too:

I'm Looking Through You
Hey Jude
Helter Skelter
I've Got a Feeling
Oh Darling

Probably missing a lot, but those are a few good examples.

It's hard to compare the two since they are different, but I think they each do a good job on which part they scream on. I just prefer John's screaming. I think his gritty voice is more suited towards it.
