they all were. Either his quote was taken out of context or his god complex has taken over completely.

That being said. The best guitar players ever are probably studio musicians whom you have never heard of and will never in their life write anything of meaningful significance compared to the ones who are successful at it. Being the best at an instrument isn't enough normally.

wow these characters go crazy when they hit old age - brains must be like swiss cheese

except this bit on Michael Jackson - very true:

"I used to kill him about the plastic surgery, man. He'd always justify it and say it was because of some disease he had. Bulls--t," Jones said. "He had a problem with his looks because his father told him he was ugly and abused him. What do you expect?"

umm sure, but they also wrote music that shaped the planet and will be remembered forever. You really want to compare that to what ensync or those other pop bands did?

I thought that at first but then I thought about it. The man conducted orchestras, the beatles couldnt play in them. They were artists and music was the tool they used to create their art. The true fifth beatle was george martin, he took all the ideas and made it into music. The only beatles album that wasnt produced by martin was the only that wasnt as successful as the others. That record was let it be, when you compare it to their next and last record they did with martin, Abby Road it was like it was from a different planet.

The question asked about his "first" impression of The Beatles, which most-likely meant the very early years. I have a friend who worked for Decca Records in 1962, when they (pre-Ringo) auditioned for a record contract and Deccca infamously turned them away. They "became" a great band, and I think that's what Jones may have been referring to.

Here's the actual interview without the commentary and there's lots more. Well worth the read.

I actually interviewed George Martin once, way back in 1993. It was for the Broadway CD release of Tommy, which he produced. So we didn't talk Beatles much until the end when he allowed me to ask him 4 Beatles questions (one for each beatle). He was an amazing man, very gracious, and I will always remember my 1/2 hour with him.

I think you may be right about this conclusion. The Beatles were not great virtuoso musicians but they were incredibly inventive musicians, often breaking musical barriers and conventions and discovering all kinds of unique phrases, chords and sounds. Personally, I will take creativity over musicianship any time. Oh - and they most likely influenced every artist Q worked with post 1966.

What an artist, what a genius, what a musician. Without him, we wouldn't have had the beatles. He is truly an unsung pioneer of classical modern music. Were the Beatles Mozart or Bach, no, but then neither is anybody else. They were great musicians from our century.

Never was a huge fan of the Beatles. But what a great story. They were four bad kids into all kinds of debauchery (Read about their early days in German!) and yet they were presented to the world as four perfect kids. LOL.

I hate MJ. With a passion.

very good observation

I read the whole interview, aside from the sensasional revelations, it's pretty good

Related, many don't know that MJ's Thriller is backed (and partially written by) studio musicians who decided to make an album under the name Toto. This article seems to confirm some of what Jones referred to in his interview.
