A moment in Philmusic.com's History: The site domain was registered in December 1996. We are at most, probably one of the longest running Philippine websites around!
he was my dad's favorite!anyway, here was my "george" strat:
Harrison's contributions to the Beatles catalog of songs are underrated . Sya madalas gumagawa ng mga counterpoint melodies sa mga Lennon-McCartney songs, with his guitar, backup vocals, or other instruments (the sitar comes to mind)Example: In Help, listen to the backup "response" vocals to Lennon's singing in the stanze. Galing.
I'm fond of George's psychedelic stuff. "The Inner Light" - Ang ganda ng melody. There's only one chord throughout parang sa "Tomorrow Never Knows" but he was still able to come up with a beautiful and haunting verse melody. Genius."Its All too Much" - PURE. SONIC. HEAVY. Ang galing! My Bloody Valentine? JAMC? Shoegaze? George started all that stuff."Blue Jay Way" - I love the hammond organ, the flangered vocal, everything. "Only A Northern Song" - This one is really underrated. I love the mellotron, the kitchen-sink production. Ito na yata yung pinaka-psychedelic na Beatles song."Within You Without You" - I'm talking about the "remix" version on the LOVE album. That kicked serious ass!
I really dislike these songs you've mentioned except the" Only Northern song"..
sobrang peyborito ko din tong mga to! parang ang hirap tugtugin sa live ng It's All Too Much.
One chord lang yung "It's All Too Much" pero kelangan ng maraming effects hehe.
akala ko si Harrison ang nag-invite kay Clapton.
good for you bro, you have learned to appreciate his Indian stuff,, hehe ako I'm a big George Harrison fan since kid, but I really dislike these songs you've mentioned except the" Only Northern song".. Merong new wave band in the 80s that was inspired from this , halos katunog lang, I just cant recall the name of the group now
George I think has his own version of While My Guitar gently Weeps - with him doing the lead - on the Anthology series cassette (Wala pa noong Myx, wala pa noong MTV. Hehehe.). He's underrated because he doesn't want to be overly famous. I mean, look at John Lennon. What happened to him? Got shot at Central Park. Hehe. While My Guitar Gently Weeps is the best Harrison song for me. Second Something. Kahit si Clapton yung gumawa ng lead, you can feel the emotion. Kung papakinggan mo yung mga sulat na kanta ni pareng George, parang history ng The Beatles.
What I've heard from a classic rock program was that when George wrote "While My Guitar...", the Beatles were at that stage wherein all four of them wanted to kill one another. Since Paul and John didn't want to give George's song the time of day, naburat siya and called in Clapton to play on his song. Initially Eric didn't want to do it. Though he was "God", Eric felt that he didn't deserve to play with this well-known group (how humble could he be?). George didn't want to hear any of that BS so he insisted that Eric play on that song. That brought Paul and John to their senses (How could you say "no" to God?), and the rest is history.
