Musicians here can tell me if the bass in this song is as great as I've been reading:

 

 

It's a real simplistic bass line. Octave 8th notes for the main riff.

98% of you here wouldn't understand what it was like growing up with The Beatles. It was like a member of your family that you grew accustomed to and could no longer be objective about because, well, they were always around and you were so familiar with them. Consequently, for most of my decades in this valley of tears, I could take or leave them as a band and certainly as individuals. Remember, I had to endure my little schoolmates running around in Beatles' hats with their Beatles lunch-boxes and their "I Love Paul" or "I Love The Beatles" buttons and the walls of their bedrooms papered with pictures of The Beatles torn from 16 Magazine.

 

Only lately have I begun to realize that they were truly talented men.

The other thing i don't often say but i think it's true. Paul was/is one of the greatest pop/rock vocalists to ever grace music. i truly believe that.

I'm not so keen on his voice, but there's is no doubt as to his talent(s). Was he the genius behind The Beatles? Maybe it was the combination of him and John. Hard to tell since it seems Yoko controlled John and did what she wanted him to do.

I used to drive my friends nuts playing this over and over on the jukebox when it came out. I forget which song it was the flip side of the 45 to.

 

"Band On The Run".

 

Thank you. Band On The Run reminds me of the time I went camping out on Long Island in 1974. And found out camping was not quite for me. :eh:

You know people say with the beatles the sum was greater than it's parts.......but ol paul did pretty good didn't he.

 

Mick

 

He did, that's why I'm saying what I said. On his own, he was the only one that had hits.

i'd take paul solo over John honestly. John's solo career was pretty aimless. i almost felt bad, lol

 

but together they were magic......difference is paul held onto some magic......john couldn't, IMO

I think John had it. I blame Yoko for holding him back. Maybe I'm wrong but that's what I think.

True i think. his song's on Double Fantasy showed he was coming back. but we know what happened so we'll never know.

 

i'm not one who blames Yoko for everything but she was distracting john no doubt.
