"Look, if you really want to get in these bigger places, you're going to have to change, stop eating on stage, stop swearing, stop smoking." Says former Beatles manager Brian Epstein. In 1957 John Lennon Playing for The Quarrymen requested Paul McCartney to his attention. George Harrison a friend of Paul's tagged along. Lennon agreed to have the both of them in his band. In 1960 Johns School friends, who joined him in The Quarrymen, decided to leave. In January of 1960, Stuart Sutcliffe, a student colleague of Lennon's, became their new bass player. Stuart mentioned the word "The Beetles" used by Buddy Holly and The Crickets for a possible stage name to their new found band. This was later changed to The Beatles in August.Brian Epstein by the end of August was hired for the part as drummer. The Beatles now consisted as a five person band. Sutcliffe's death soon followed the following April by cause of a brain hemorrhage. Brian Epstein, who took The Beatles under his wing thought that Best's drumming skill weren't to his satisfaction. Ringo Starkey who regularly filled Brian Epstein absents during gigs, replace Best for the drumming position.
The "Fab Four" they were called. Together they released over twelve studio albums. The Beatles revolutionized the history of rock and roll in a way that not Evan Led Zeppelin could have done. Although their music gave variety of sort, Zeppelin couldn't compare to the audience The Beatles received during their time as a band. The Beatles exchanged the greatest variation of music, in my eyes more than any one else to date. From oldies music, to using synthesisers. George Harrison adopted an Indian instrument called the Sitar, this inspired great sound within their music.They also used harmonicas, and sounds never even heard of. The Beatles are one of my top three greatest musicians of all time, next to Led Zeppelin and AC/DC.
