"Revield a revelation"..
I don't understand why someone would be surprised about that. If you understand the fact that people have different tastes, interests and they like different things, what is there to be surprised about? It is not like you are obligated to like something just because the majority likes it.

This doesn´t suprise me at all. In the sixties there were lines between Beatles & Stones-fans, although of course there were people, specially in the end of sixties that loved both. When I was about 4-5 years old, I listened Beatles red double much and really liked it. But when I heard Stones first time, it really hit me. There was a period in my life, when I respected only after Help Beatles-albums, but in the nineties I bought also their early albums and have liked them too since then. But still if somebody asks Stones or Beatles it´s Stones for me. Also I think George was really important to them already in the beginning.
Revolver is my favourite from them.

One final question that we always ask: what is your favourite Beatles album?
Wow, you got me there because I was never really a Beatles fan. I suppose it would be Sgt Pepper’s, because of the landmark it represented in pop music and rather like in the same year, Pink Floyd’s The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. They were the life-changing musical moments for a generation and although I wasn’t a Beatles fan, I guess I learnt something from Sgt. Pepper’s in terms of variety, of the rather surreal nature of it, that was quite laudable. George Martin was a friend of mine (I didn’t know the Beatles at all) and his role in all of that is very important. I like to think ofSgt. Pepper’s as the album that could not have been made with another producer, it had to be George. He was Beatles no.5, he was actually probably Beatles no.3! He was a very special guy and helped to bring together those very opposite personalities and musical backgrounds. http://indeflagration.fr/in-english/ian-anderson-jethro-tull-interview/ |

During the interview with Rick Wakeman, Ian Anderson revield a shocking revelation. That he was not or never was a very much fan of the Beatles. I found that to both be "like what!" But also a respectful thing to say. To hear one whom were living in Britain whom were part of the same cultural boom of rock of 60s and 70s but whom utters a dislike/distance towards the Beatlemania. He stated he had other interest, more into the whole blues thing. He was more of a Rolling Stones follower.
I find such to be refreashing. Are there other children/musicians o 60s/70s whom felt alienated by the Beatles and the mania it caused. Edited by Icarium - August 21 2018 at 23:53 |
