Sgt. Pepper Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Paul McCartney was the bass player in The Beatles. Well most or the time, George of John would play every now and then when Paul was on keys. He also played drums on a few tracks when Ringo quit for a bit during the recording of The Beatles (The White Album) Edited June 18, 2021 by Sgt.

Whitefang When I listen to "The Traveling Wilbury's" George is a stand out....not only on guitar...but his singing is up there close to Roy Orbison's, (certainly better than Dylan, Petty and even Jeff Lynne). Listen to the guitar work in "End Of The Line"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang I miss typed it should have said George or John played bass when Paul was on keys. He sang and was the lead guitarist for this little known band called The Beatles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I would count myself lucky if somebody said I was the Gregory Hines of dance or guitar. That guy was so good, and such a great fellow. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would think that with 16 tracks at their disposal, Paul would have played both bass and keys, putting each on different tracks. Or, like in one case(or two) bring Billy Preston in to handle the keys. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its crazy how a band that only recorded from '63 and the last album that was supposed to come out was in '69 and we are still talking about them and interested in them. Think of what they could have done if they had a few more years together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So essentially a three track machine that they had to be really careful with the bouncing. In them days you could only put two, three tracks on to one or you would start distorting badly. Tom Dowd went over and fixed it finally, so they had the actual 4. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbey Road was recorded on eight-track reel-to-reel tape machines rather than the four-track machines that were used for earlier Beatles albums such as Sgt Pepper, and was the first Beatles album not to be issued in mono. I even got a name drop. I think during the making of The Beatles (The White Album) at Abbey Road, I think then it was know as EMI, got one of the first 8 track boards in England. But what do I know?

rct Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) I think Dowd was part of that getting an 8 track thing. Bouncing 8 tracks was marginally better than bouncing 4 tracks, not twice as good, like one might think. Tape was crap. What them guys did with it was amazing, one of the few times using that word actually means something. rct Edited June 21, 2021 by rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Natural Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 At the mid-point of his career, the sports talking heads were beginning to refer to Wayne Gretzky as "the Babe Ruth of hockey". By the time Gretzky retired, some of the same talking heads were referring to Babe Ruth as "the Wayne Gretzky of baseball". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
