The Beatles

[JamesCalifornia]

~ Some of you may have heard of this band from the 1960s ( If you are alive ! )
The lingering question was always 'Will the Beatles ever get back together ? '
If they were all alive and healthy do you think they would have ?

Sadly, yeah they probably would have for some cheezy CBS special show or such. I can almost see the ads in my head now. And it ain't a pretty thought.

(PS I wasn't alive in the 60s, but I know good music and they're my favorite band)

LOL sure they would have, if only to keep their various "handlers/agents/managers/etc" happy and in the money

Seriously, I'm not sure, I saw something not too long ago about one of them being extremely difficult to deal with later on. But, kind of fun to think about

 

[Willowy]

Probably, at least once, if they got paid enough. Money can help you to put up with people you'd rather not . I don't think they would have gotten back together as a long-term thing. Apparently John was quite a jerk, and by the end they all basically hated each other.

I don't think they would have ever gotten back together. They sure did not need the money. I loved the Beatles and would have loved to see them get back together.

I agree. I think John would have been the lone holdout.

I don't think they would have. Never heard that John was a jerk although I've heard the others didn't care for Yoko.

I don't think it would have to do with anyone being a jerk. I think that he would have just have wanted to move on and explore other things- maybe other genres. I don't think it's fair to blame Yoko for anything (not saying you are but many did and still do). John was a grown man and made his own decisions. IMO he would have seen a reunion as a publicity stunt.

Thought one of them was dead now? I saw them live in Liverpool when I was a young thing, I mean saw as you could not hear them for the screaming of the fans... Worst memory was the terrifying crowd conditions in the city as we made our way from the station to the theatre. One lady put her stiletto heel though my instep!

John and George are both gone.

we lived, ate and slept the Beatles. I lived near Liverpool

Yoko Ono caused a lot of problems amongst the band members when she was with John. He and Paul stopped getting on so I think there would not have been much chance of 'the fab four' getting together. I think George Harrison was very talented but seemed to be shadowed by John and Paul.

 

[Winchester]

I doubt it, not even for the money.

I was never a big Beatles fan. They were OK, but I could take them or leave them. Just not a fan.

 

[denice]

I don't think they would have. I had always understood that Yoko Ono was the problem. Of course there were issues between them, it would have been highly unusual if there hadn't been, but she was the one that put a real wedge between them. I don't blame her alone, when something like that happens it is rarely if ever one person's fault. I think she just really amped up jealousies and resentments.

The only way I think it might have happened is a one time thing for charity.

~ Here in 1973 John Lennon is asked the question :

 

[denice]

Oh my, the bell bottoms, the mutton chop sideburns and the big Afro hair. I was a junior in high school in 1973 and thought all of those things were the latest and the greatest.

 

[verna davies]

I loved my bellbottoms. Those maxi dresses were so unflattering but I thought I looked fab!

 

[denice]

John Lennon did his best work after the Beatles broke up. Many feel that his song God was among the best done at any time in Rock and Roll, my personal favorite was Working Class Hero. He certainly got away from anything close to a pop genre. I see his later work as more akin to someone like Leonard Cohen.

Same. I always found them to be highly overrated.

George too.

(The Beatles are my favorite band, but still.)
