I love the Beatles. Truly amazing songwriting, excellent production for the time and snazzy facial hair.
Fair enough, the 'Macca' thing is retarded. He comes across as a knob, great musician though- he freaking wrote Elenor Rigby!
I really don't understand peoples need to be vitriolic about certain subjects, especially online. Fair enough Roo you don't like teles or the Beatles, we now know that- give it a freaking break. It's like a retarded midget- neither big nor clever. Keep it to yourself.
Hi Badger,
you might have made a slight typo in your sig, there...
Lots of love and hugs :)

It was deliberate. I love teles like a gangsta loves his hos. And my single humbuckered tele rocks harder than you. FACT.
It doesn't matter how much you say "FACT", you play a bulbous, teletubby-like guitar and you think it makes you look cool, and you can't take the truth, which is that it makes you look like a proper batty boy.
Fact.
As to the other posts - thanks for bringing those points to the discussion - more is always better!
I wasn't around when the Beatles were playing, and i wasn't swept up in the "mania". I was around when Oasis did much the same thing, and I have to say I hated them too, so I've no doubt that I'd have hated the Beatles had I been around then, also.
Regarding "what have I done?" Good point, and very well made. In music, not nearly enough, and not even close to what I wanted to. Maybe I haven't had the lucky break yet, maybe I spent too long studying other things, and spend too long in traffic (hell that's true!). 'Maybe's don't cut it. No excuses, I'm not a famous musician yet. In fact, I never will be, because my favoured music is not mainstream.
This brings me neatly to another point, just because they were mainstream, is that a good enough reason in itself to revere them and make them "godlike" in history? Not in my opinion. They should be judged for what they did, not how they were received. They fall short in my judgement.
My reason for starting this thread was because every day it seems that the BBC is running some story about McCartney. Why? WHY? No-one seems to be able to provide a satisfactory answer to this question.
Why don't I just give it a rest? Well when they give it a f***ing rest, I'll give it a f***ing rest tbh.
Vitriolic, maybe. Tw*t, maybe, but I'm as entitled to my opinions as anyone else, and others here seem to agree with me, while others don't. None of us is *right* or *wrong*, they're only opinions, so get over it.
After all, this thread is in the "off topic" off topic forum!
I'm glad that there have been so many responses here, it shows the strength of feeling on the subject on both sides of the camp. I for one love Marmite, by the way.
Keep it coming, and keep it reasonable, please.
Roo
