What If The Beatles Were Born In This Era Will They Make It?

[Jason]

i think they will, with their ingenious lyrics and great voice plus the personality...

[working class hero]

simple lang e,regardless of their music, they have their individual influences in music that made them to what they are, they were born geniuses, so khit anong era pa sila lumabas, they will make it kasi gunun sila.

[changedmynametojimi]

they will make it...

but sad to say, fast forward before we ever hear rock, metal, techno or whatever genre there is that the beatles have sprawned...

in short, bands would not have progressed without the fab four...and that is a fact

black sabbath hated the flower power movement and beatles and they made their own sound, and so on....

[rajhan lennon]

ozzy osbourne loved the beatles, sgt pepper is his favorite album 

[boltes_payb]

siguro "hindi"...haha...siguro emo tugtugan nila...peace.

[rimshot601]

They will surely play emo-ish songs, aside from hiphop/ r&b, metal, etc. Kahit naman noon 60's to 70's variety ang tema nila kaya nga sila sumikat dahil diverse ang tugtugan nila.

[alamat]

siguro po kung ngayon sa era natin malamang po hindi ganung tugtugan nuon ang banatan nila.. maybe they would come up with something new type of genre.. but still i think they could make it..

[hiskoolstudes]

malaking problema to...

paradox kumbaga. kung wala ang beatles before wala siguro 50% ng music as we know it today, they were GREATLY influential is an understatement.

Now, kung ang tanong is kung ang Beatles ay tumutugtog pa, i'd say YES, a definite YES. they were at their musical peak nung naghiwalay sila and given enough time to rest and get away from each other in between albums sa tingin ko the creative juices are still there.

[knopfler_29]

no doubt. they will still the best band in the world. there were at least 300 bands around then, but they stood out from the rest

[angeloesteban14]

baka maging metal sila!

Nah! overrated naman, 50% ?? POP music siguro, oo. Ngayon lang kasi nauuso ulit yung temang Beatles dahil ginaya sila ng Eraserheads at nag gayahan naman lahat ng mga banda ngayon.

Paano naman sina Jimmy Hendrix, Black Sabbath, James Brown, Rey Charles, Bob Marley, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Pantera, Andrew E, Francis M, Yoyoy Villame, Vincent Dapalong, April boy at Madam Auring?

I think we should back it up with facts. I have said my piece on this and tried to back it up with facts on an earier post. Even before the Eraserheads, The Beatles' influence has been there around the world and not just in the Philippines. Locally, even The Jerks has been playing their songs even before E-heads came in

pare, the beatles may have influenced some musicians, ie. to play instruments, play rock & roll, etc. but i believe they have not influenced any other particular genre except pop music, or pop rock. Rock & roll already existed, and it's a fact that it didn't originated from the beatles. So, claiming that 50% of music today are credited to them is absolutely wrong. You must consider other genre, not pop music alone.
Beatles is pop. That's a fact.

paano kung yung nagpauso ng electronica music, narinig muna niya ang Tomorrow Never Knows bago naipanganak ang electronica na alam natin ngayon?

paano kung yung nagpauso ng shoegaze music, narinig muna niya ang It's All Too Much bago ipinanganak ang ambient/shoegaze/experimental na alam natin ngayon?

paano kung yung forerunners ng metal, narinig muna nila ang Helter Skelter bago nila nadefine yung tunog nila?

mahirap ikahon.

[bby_poly]

Kung ngayon lang pinanganak beatles malamang ibang iba ang music natin ngayon. siguro ngayon pa lang maiimbento ang rock and roll!

rock and roll pati electric guitar....
also don't forget their headbangin' style...left and right...hehehehe....
I love the Beatles...

 .......di lang naman beatles ang tumugtog ng mga yan noon eh, at hindi rin sila ang nauna, wag ka masyado mag assume. Diverse lang ang tugtog nila at pop sila; at uso lang ngayon ang beatlesque music dahil sa eraserheads, kaya akala ng maraming beginner eh sa kanila nagmula lahat ng modern music. Modern pop siguro, oo pero hindi 50% ng lahat ng music.

[ninejuicyjulius]

I'm NOT saying na sa kanila galing lahat. ISA sila sa mga nauna. So malamang, yung mga sumunod sa kanila, kahit papaano napakinggan muna sila.

Halimbawa, ako si Ozzy Osbourne and I hated their music. 1970s. I formed a band, and made music totally different from theirs.

Am I influenced by the Beatles in any way? YES.

Why? Because of so much hatred to their music, it made me form a band AND invented (or co-invented, if you will) METAL music.

Si Brian Wilson, na-inspire after hearing Rubber Soul (which then led to Pet Sounds). Si Paul McCartney aminado, naimpluwensiyahan siya ng Pet Sounds ng Beach Boys (leading to Sergeant Pepper). Radiohead is NOT POP, pero they still cite Beatles as ONE of their influences. And the list goes on and on and on...

The Beatles was/is part of Popular Culture. Malaki ang impluwensiya ng Pop Culture, more than you can imagine. Whether people hated or loved their music, it doesn't matter.

at uso lang ngayon ang beatlesque music dahil sa eraserheads

Like which bands? Boys like Girls? Alesana? Lito Camo? Chicosci? Cueshe? Six Cycle Mind? Yung Greyhoundz ba, Beatlesque? Slapshock? Pero teka, ano nga ba ang 'uso' ngayon?

[rimshot601]

wow, overzealous pop rocker...Yeah! POP ROCKER RULEZZ!

The Beatles never claimed to have invented rock and roll, and I never said that as well. In fact, John, Paul, George & Ringo had so many rock and roll heroes who influenced them also into deciding to join a band. Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry etc. They were all heroes of the fab four growing up. But nobody can deny that they revolutionized rock and roll. There is a big difference between "invented" and just "revolutionized".

Before Jimmy Hendrix or Black Sabath came out, The Beatles already came out with "HELTER SKELTER" in 1967. Before the chemical brothers (they are techno btw, just in case you missed the point here) rocked with block rockin beats and the like, the Bealtes already came out with their own techno sound "TOMMORROW NEVER KNOWS". Btw if you think these songs were pop, then I don't know what rock is.

Before Jimmy Hendrix displayed some feedback on his guitar playing the Star Spangled Banner, the Beatles invented the guitar feedback on the intro of "I FEEL FINE" in 1965. What other proofs do you want bro ?

If you're not contented, just let me know, and I'll give you other groundbreaking and revolutionary songs of The Beatles which somehow spawned a new rock & roll genre for the newer generation of rockers to follow.

And regarding your claim that the only reason why the Beatles is popular nowadays is because of the Eraserheads. I guess you never heard of the OASIS ? or BLUR ? or RADIOHEAD ? These guys never heard of the Eraserheads, but they pretty much are BIG BEATLES disciples. And consider them as influences in their music, in fact, the Gallagher brothers admitted that they rip chord patterns from Beatles songs to create songs of their own bro.

so ano ka? super uber cool underground indie rockerzz?

LOL

Ito na lang talaga ang masasabi kapag barado na. Grow up, hijo. 

[rockyteer]

Just because you listen to and like Beatles music doesn't mean you're a "pop rocker" or just listen to "pop rock".

Jazz musicians listen to the Beatles. Classical musicians listen to the Beatles.

They transcend genres.

[the_godfather]

If the Beatles we're born in this era, they will still make it. Why? Kasi yung tugtugan nila sigurado na iba sa rock en roll na kinasikatan nila. Di ba tayo, pinanganak tayo sa era na ito, ang naadopt nating music yung mga bagong music ng mga sikat na banda ng era naten, then dahil lumalawak yung musical knowledge naten, nag eexplore tayo and we'd listen to old bands.

Parang ganito yan, yung Oasis pinanganak sa era na sumikat sila, ganon tugtugan nila. Kung Beatles sa era na'to sisikat sila pero they can't be as big as they are, maybe as big or much bigger than Oasis. IMHO lang.

[Endshiftresign!]

Yes and maybe 

Yes because of obvious reasons stated by the others above. No era where will The Fab four leave a stone unturned.

...and Maybe, because you wouldn't know what will happen if Stuart Sutcliffe didn't die early and Pete Best didn't get the sack from Paul and John coz he was hogging all the limelight with the chicks  and both got to start instead of Ringo, who until now is in total trauma travelling to The Philippines 

We'll never know...

nice insights...but to clarify, stuart sutcliffe was no longer with the beatles when he passed away.  he had voluntarily quit the band to focus on painting.  and as per what i've read, he wasn't much of a bassist anyway...he was a gifted painter who decided to join the beatles to add a more brooding dimension to his persona.  and while it is arguable that pete best got sacked because he got more attention from the female fans, it was more of an issue with his drumming skills...

but to answer the question, yes they will indeed make it.  ibang klase talaga sila sumulat ng kanta...not just lennon/mccartney, but george harrison too.  isa lang ata ang sinulat ni ringo, which was "don't pass me by", a novelty-type track from the white album...

Actually, di plano ni Stu na sumali sa beatles, ganito nangyari, nakabenta sya ng painting nya, then syempre kaibigan nya si John, tinanong ni Stu si John kung ano magandang gawin sa kinita nya. Sabi ni John, the best thing to do is to buy a hofner bass. Tapos sabi ni Stu ni I'm a painter, I should invest the money to do more paintings. Tapos gumating na si Paul na the best thing to do is to buy the bass. Kaya kahit di sya marunong, bumili sya ng bass at napasama sa banda.
