Has there ever been as unfortunate of an artist as George Harrison?
>in the beatles
>unfortunate
most underrated of them all. People remember Ringo because of his name. George is best
>le exotic orientul stringy strangy
Friendly reminder that George cucked Ringo

That's like saying Nick Mason is fortunate because he was in Pink Floyd.
Nobody cared about him and he was a mediocre drummer at best
>>64063122
>>64063369
what a tragedy, doomed to be one of the least discussed members of one of the most discussed bands of all time who literally made hundreds of millions of dollars playing music, sleeping with hundreds of women and travelling the globe in luxury

>Ringo is more popular
Not really. All Things Must Pass is a critically acclaimed masterpiece. Ringo's solo albums are all shit and none of them are memorable.
>>64063107
he looks like grimes
My grandfather was one of the longest running managers of the Beatles and still keeps in touch with Paul today.
Said Harrison was absolutely unimpressive in person and that ringo was legitimately fucking stupid and self absorbed. He said John was a complete smarmy jerk, and an attention seeker, too.
>>64063565
None of that surprises me. Paul seems like the chillest, for sure.
>>64063565
You are Brian Epstien's grandson?
Amazing since he didn't have any kids.
Fuck off to a greentext thread if you want to make shit up.
>>64063603
Oh dang - forgot to mention why I'm saying this
In contrast to OP, who thinks Harrison was an underrated contributor, my grandfather said all their actual songs were either Lennon-McCartney or ghostwritten (early in their career).
>>64063535
Have you ever listen to Ringo Rama, is probably the best Beatles solo album
>>64063369
Every musician in a successful band is fortunate to be able to have music as their vocation, and not have to shit away 45 years in a shitty 9-5 like the rest of us plebs.
>>64063535
did you even catch this banger

not even to mention his avant garde art side-project

>>64063565
I read their engineer Geoff Emerick's book about what it was like working with them and he said George was a thoroughly unpleasant, humorless guy who could barely even play his instrument and that Ringo's happy-go-lucky, jovial personality was all for show, and he was really a no-nonsense type behind the scenes.
>>64063627
>ghostwritten (early in their career).
What are you talking about?
>>64063624
No. Brian Epstein wasn't "just" a manager, he had a direct involvement in their careers. My grandfather worked with Capitol and helped the Beatles from 64 - 67, then some of Paul's solo career afterwards. Friends with Dick Lapalm. Why are you so aggressive?
>>64063645
Too bad there are numerous errors in his book, and he's pretty much a McCartney drone/apologist
>>64063662
>numerous errors in his book
[citation needed]
>>64063645
Paul is truly the greatest Beatle.
>>64063647
He didn't literally say ghostwritten, he said some of their earlier material wasn't written by them. He could've easily been talking about their constant 50's covers.
>>64063654
>My grandfather worked with Capitol and helped the Beatles
Not a manager
>Why are you so aggressive?
Why make up random shit on the internet
>>64063666

>>64063682
Then that's not ghostwritten.
Are you retarded or just a liar?
>>64063565
Yeah and my dad works for Nintendo
>>64063696
>>64063715
>WAAH! WAAH!
I'll make sure to not chime in with things I know next time. Why are you so ugly and viscous?
>>64063771
Are you also an Olympic swimmer?
Because you backpedal quite well!
>>64063763
A lot of peoples dads work for Nintendo, its a multinational corporation with thousands of staff members.
>>64063369
This is beyond stupid. If he's such a mediocre drummer yet wound up with a full time job in one of the most widely beloved and highly acclaimed bands ever then he is the living definition of fortunate.
>>64063819
nintendo works for my dad
>>64063803
You need to tug one out bud, you're getting too worked up
>>64063645
>George was a thoroughly unpleasant, humorless guy
>George funded Monty Python AND The Rutles while Paul was the only Beatle who didn't give his blessing
Also to the guy who's saying his grandfather was a manager, give us a name. There are Beatles biographies that describe their lives day by day, if what you're saying's true, he'd have had to pop up in one eventually.
>>64063841
Yeah, it works for me too. Sometimes I think its broken, but then I remember I forgot to charge it.
>>64063565
Well my dad actually was in the Beatles and he said they were all cool and got me as signed guitar.
Paul a SHIT!
SHIT!
>>64063867
Have you actually watched monty python? Its as unpleasant as a moldy pile of rat shit
>>64063877
my dad is the grim reaper fear his remorseless scythe
>>64063880
Fuck off, Julian.
>>64063107
>>most soulful solo work
Saying this when Lennon's Plastic Ono Band exists
>>64063915
my dad was actually george harrison
>>64063900
Yeah, that's why they're under the Three Stooges and Abbott and Costello when it comes to being a world famous comedy (ie; humor) troupe
>>64063950
Okay, Grandpa. I think its bedtime.
I'm Paul ama
>>64063962
Nice rebuttal of my points. What Python have you watched?
>>64063968
Have you ever sucked Heathers stump?
>>64063645
I've read it too, and what you say in the context of the whole book is pretty accurate but a little misleading.
>George was a thoroughly unpleasant, humorless guy who could barely even play his instrument
They barely got to know each other at all despite working together for almost ten years. IIRC they didn't have what either would call a heart-to-heart moment until that one time when they were making Abbey Road. Also yes, Paul did have to fill in for George on occasion. For example many people don't know that the guitar solo you hear on Taxman was played by Paul.
>Ringo's happy-go-lucky, jovial personality was all for show, and he was really a no-nonsense type behind the scenes.
The impression I got was that this less means he was secretly a grumpy fuck and more means he took their studio time seriously when they were making music. He was professional.
>>64063968
Why are your tickets so expensive? Literally spent $200 on nosebleed seats.
>>64063989
When did you learn how to use the computer, Grandpa?
>>64064038
Nice points m8, really made me rethink the opinions I've posted in this thread.
>>64064075
Okay Grandpa, you win. I'll change your diaper. Shall I also fetch you some jolly good tea with a dash of milk innit?
>>64064002
U know u loved it
>>64064097
Nice to see the maturity of John and Paul fans in action.
>>64064002
Damn talk about cucked I spent less than that for good McCartney tickets.
>>64064134
Another reason why George reigns supreme

Your made up grandpa doesn't know shit.
>>64064134
> oooh I'm so mature and intellectual, I find monty Python quite humorous
Are you actually a boomer/grandpa or are you the autistic kid in your school?
>>64064237
Oh yeah, cause Monty Python is known for being intellectual and hard to grasp, right? I'm guessing you think Family Guy is funny?
Seriously, what the fuck are you on about man. Trolling is supposed to be funny, you're obviously failing at that. Someone posted about how George was humorless, I posted two different (and popular) examples disproving this. You seem to be the autistic one here, the minute someone has taste that differs from your own they're either a grandpa or an autist. Either we're with you or against you in your small mind.
>>64063877
hi devin
>>64063915
speaking of reaper, i had this gif open when i read this post
>>64064408
Im not sure what part you don't understand. If you unironically think that Monty Python is funny, you are either a grandpa, or a autistic redditor. Either way, go fuck off and watch Monty Python; have a nice chortle.
>>64063107
>British cuties
>>64063122
Literally this
>>64063107
In what kind of parallel universe you live? Even with the Beatles, George created his own style. He is a rock legend
>>64063565
Who? Epstein? This guy was a fuckin faggot. Are you gay too?

Asking the important questions.
