Stand Up - the next Everyday?

Kahn, you know who is responsible for that change, right???

if you really were a beatles fan and had the info, that has nothing to do with Sgt Peppers. John never wrote a song about drugs until Cold Turkey, his first solo single about him and yoko quitting heroin.

Actualy, the main influence on the album was . . . the beach boys. Yep, their Pet Sounds album inspired John and Paul very much. Also, the beatles never wrote songs while on heavy drugs, or while they were recording (they only did a little weed and such, that's it). The few times they tried it, they just made crap. Also just so this doesn't get brought up, I'll answer it right now. Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds is about a picture young Julian Lennon drew. John loved the drawing, and wrote the song about it. Again, the beatles did not write drug songs.

Where the Hell do you and Filmdude pull out these conspricay theories!!

For one I'm not really a beattles fan, I don't believe I stated that. I have never gotten into them, I just like to understand music history.
And once again I never stated influence on the album, I said change. Yes Bob Dylan was responsible for the change from their poppy lyrics. Lennon looked up to Bob Dylan, and when Lennon started talking about their success Dylan made a comment about how their was little thought and meaning behind their lyrics. It caused Lennon to change the way he wrote songs.

In an interview published in this month's Uncut, Sir Paul admitted drugs "informed" much of the Beatles' music.

He said the song Got To Get You Into My Life was "about pot - although everyone missed it at the time", and Day Tripper was "about acid".


From Paul himself.


Here's the link from a BBC interview.

DO NOT BELEIVE FILMDUDE or RANTING THEASPIAN when it comes to DMB/BEATLES history. You make think that statement is harsh, but I think it is completely wrong to make these statements that you so clearly stand behind, but they turn out to be bullshit.

Here's the full BBC link

"To me, it's a huge compliment that a bunch of kids think I might be up to smoke a bit of dope with them."

That quote fucking rocks! I'd offer Sir Paul some doobage if we ever crossed paths, even if he turned me down.

IM so proud of finding that BBC interview I created a whole new thread about it. Go there.

EDIT: Everybody said what I was going to say already. I.e., you don't know what you're talking about.

The Dude: It's like what Lenin said... you look for the person who will benefit, and, uh, uh...

Donny: I am the walrus.

The Dude: You know what I'm trying to say...

Walter Sobchak: That fucking bitch...

Donny: I am the walrus.

Walter Sobchak: Shut the fuck up, Donny! V.I. Lenin! Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov!

You tell you stories as if you were there with all these artists when these things happened. I swear I saw an interview with McCartney where he said they were all high out of their minds when they wrote/recorded at least one album.

I have a video of paul saying about Day Tripper is about doing acid and him being the last of the group to try it

[Ranting Thespian]

Ok, I said the beatles never worked under HEAVY drugs. They did stuff like pot, and other mild uppers. They never wrote or recorded on acid or heroin, or heavy drugs. If you watch the Beatles antholgy, they say that. Also, yes they did acid, paul was the last one to try it, he was nervous. Daytripper, it is not a song about drugs, John just loved the words tripping, and so on, so he used it as a song. I am the walrus is pure bullshit lyrics. It was actualy 3 different songs john mashed together. Yellow Submarine, they wanted to get a nice ringo song on the album, and paul had an idea of giving him something not serious to write about, since he doesn't have the greatest voice. Then, that night, Paul was sleeping and was in that twilight period, where you are not asleep but not awake. He started singing to himself about a yellow submarine. He said, that would be a good song for ringo to do. Again, all the info I am giving you has come from the anthologies, the books and videos (the accurate ones, right from their mouths)


And don't trust me? I get all my info from 6 people:

John Lennon
Paul McCartney
George Harrison
Ringo Starr
Gorge Martin
and Yoko Ono

Go out and get the anthology book or the dvds.

You call them liars, and then you can rot in your grave.

And oh yesh, it's a conspiracy, I am just some weird babling idiot . . . fuck off!

[lyrics101]

Actually, you said they "did not write drug songs."

So what's up? Years later Paul changed his mind on the meaning of Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds and Day Tripper?

I have seen the picture by Julian. John has said in EVERY interview that it was that picture. Julian has said it was. The picture is in a museum. It has everything in the song. Then, Paul did not write daytripper, it was a John song, and John was the one who said he liked the word tripping. Why would they lie about it, when they did horrible things and tell those right off the bat. John has even told when he was drunk at a party in 1973, he got so wasted, he grabbed a girl, and went into the bedroom and had wild sex. And who was outside, Yoko, and everyone heard them and knew what was going on. John has admited that, why would he lie about a song, but not lie about cheating on his wife (which he hated that he did that)? They have said the crap they did do. They talk about times they got busted for drugs. Think logicaly. They never wrote a drug song. They wrote and recorded on uppers, they were almost always high during the filming of Help, they experimented with acid, and john got addicted on heroin in 1969 for a little while, but got off it when they had enough.



And all the people who are still going to post shit about me, and say I am stupid or lieing . . . FUCK YOU

[trippin6strings]

Rant noones tryin to pick a fight with you, but you do need to wake up when it comes to this shit. The fact is we dont know what state of mind the band was in when they recorded their albums. You nor I know the band well enough to judge their character, for all we know they could be just be lying out of their asses about their pasts with drugs. For all we know they could've been running underground methlabs in hoboken new jersey, or funding columbian cocoa plants that enslave children. all we can do is base our thoughts off of common sense and what the band itself has said. You get to personal with your idols man and thats not healthy.

The band said they used pot, lsd, and other drugs and common sense tells us that once someone experiences these substances, they dont just say "hey that was great, but i gotta get back to work and be sober for the next album". that makes no sense, they were few rich white boys, they were probably fucked up 24/7, fucking every piece of ass that came by the tour bus and paul still has genital herpes outbreaks from letting that crackhore give him deepthroat back in the 70's.

seriously man, smoke a bowl and you will realize so much about the world. like i said, i dont mean to pick a fight or anything, just trying to help you out cuz youve made this mistake numerous times before. You are a good guy and ever since ive joined this site ive seen how you are always trying to help people out so i really dont want you to get offended by this post. But this topic needs some closure and an all out debacle between board members is not what is needed. peace and happi travels my good man.

p.s. Im drunk as fuck and rolling a blunt. If I've got a hostile sound, its really just a pile of smiles holding me down! peace and goodnight bitches!!!
