I keep reading references that blame Yoko Ono for the destruction of the Beatles. But my knowledge of the band is scant so I'd appreciate anyone telling me why. Cheers |

becuase when she showed up, john started to change, which led to tension in the band. she was always there, and if i recall, john or herself even tried to claim she was part of the beatles. it's alot like sid and nancy, if you've ever read rotten's bio. |

I think Lennon insisted that Yoko be present in the studio, against the wishes of the others. I'm sure I read that it all began to collapse after McCartney used Linda's dad as Beatles finacial advisor without the blessing of the other members. Sommink like that. |

Bad grammer. Remove either too or also. |

because she is untalented, and was leaching onto him to fulfill her own career. she's alot like courtney love in that respect. except she didn't have her hubby killed. |

See the Beatles parody episode of Simpsons for a good explanation too. |

Yes... she was always around during recording sessions. she was smothering john and influencing his music....... that problem with the manager is also true..... |

they all left at one stage or another..... george left during the let it be sessions and john wanted to bring in eric clapton and replace him.... but evidently he came back.. ringo left for a few days after seargent pepper... cos he did almost nothing on the album and got so boooorrreeeeddd.... apparently george was really bored with it as well.... but they asked ringo back and then all went nuts on the white album.... paul left for a bit over that manager thingy.... |

Chose to call it what you want to. Rumour has it that one day Paul heard her humming Eleanor Rigby in the studio. None of them were getting any younger, and so in the best interest of the ears of all parties concerned they told her stop coming or humming. She did not listen to them. So one day when she walked in, humming yet another 'melody', George tripped her with an umbrella. She tripped, fell face flat on the ground and hurt her nose. John got angry and left the studio in a huff. That was the beginning of the end. |

Wow. They sounded sickeningly clingy. That would get on my tits. |

where's ophecks when you need him ? |
||||||||
|
|

they eventually didnt record together tho. On the White album one person would write a song, lay down the 1st tracks then the others would come along and add their bits seperately. well that's what i heard pOgO: so you're back now? |

yeah, yoko would always be in the studio, adding her unwanted input. there was kind of an unwriten rule that no ones other half would be in the studio. finally paul lost it, and told john what was on his mind, and insulted yoko, and that was it. it was over. |
||||||||

i actually saw a large retrospective of yoko ono's artwork last year, and to dismiss her as "john lennon's wife" or as an untalented, hanger-on leech of celebrity is an unfair and uninformed perspective. i was surprised by the depth of her invention and her intelligence and humor. she was an up and coming but well known (though not mainstream) artist when she met john lennon. you might say that her relationship with him helped end her career. |

ringo only left the band once, during the white album sessions, on 22 august 1968. He came back fourteen days later, and his drum was all covered with flowers. George left during the let it be sessions, he had a row with paul. Yoko was the first (beatles)woman who was in the abbey road studios while the beatles were recording. Normally it was forbidden to enter the studio while the beatles are recording, but John was obsessed by Yoko, and when she was sick he brought a bed to the studio, for yoko to lay dawn. |

I guess I'm in the minority of Lennonites that actually LIKES Yoko. I think the stories of her causing so much friction are overblown, they actually got along fairly well with her (compared to what you hear), and they would have been at each other's throats regardless because of the manager and ego situations. She was around the studio all the time, which must have been annoying, but really she kept in the background 99.9% of the time, and kept John somewhat sane. I also like that story about her first time in the studio, when they were recording Hey Bulldog, they tried extra hard to make a great song just to impress her. And that's one fucking great song! And she inspired songs like Julia and I Want You, two of the best songs ever written. I saw her on Leno a month and a half ago, at 70 she looks great. Looks 20 years younger than her age. |

yeah...yoko didnt lead to the breakup. the beatles themselves did. it was just time. |

or was it his cat |

The ''Ocean Child'' lyric is about Yoko, it's about half and half. Or maybe it's 1/3 mommy, 1/3 witch, 1/3 cat. |

I actually caused the split of the Beatles because they heard some of my shit and realised it was pointless going on because they would just be making fools of themself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
D'uh. Like I said, Yoko had nothing to do with it. It was YOU, you rotten meddling son of a bitch. |
||||||||
|

Well I thought at the time they were turning their backs on Liverpool and it made me sad, so I showed them what talent really was and how it will always stay in the city. :D The Beatles are probably one of the most overhyped groups ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think ringo, george & john blamed paul mccartney for slowly trying to take over the band (i am the walrus). after the beatles split, the other 3 continued to play on each others records. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
John was never as talented as Paul, no matter what people say...Paul was the most talented member of the group and he has never got the recognition he fully deserves. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah probably, they WERE bigger than Jesus. But what is hype anyway, nuthin' important. Anyway, just shut your mouth, you've caused me enough pain with your wicked awesomeness. I don't blame anyone for the breakup (other than you-know-who). It's just a natural progression. Paul held them together at times and drove them forward, so I can't blame him. He's too cute to blame anyway. |
||||||||

He sullied his good reputation over the years with some trite post-Beatles releases. I'm not sure how he was percieved directly after the breakup... I was, like... negative 13 1/2. But he's done a lot of damage to his reputation HIMSELF. (though his initial run of solo albums are great) |
||||||||

And now Paul has a wife with one leg which is so cool I want one, but my girlfriend isn't too hot on the idea of amputation...but we'll see :D I can't help being so good, cool and awesome...sometimes it is a curse I could live without, but I fear the rest of the world would fall apart and crumble so I put up with it for them :P |

LOL btw.....to say Yoko (and LINDA) for that matter sound like CATS when singing is an INSULT to CATS......ahahhahahah j/k anyway they both REALLY suck, they used to have this funny skit on a local radio station where they would play some horrible yelling person and say.....oh thats Linda McCartney singing again.......ehehhehhe i think it was just time for 5 big EGO's to go their separate ways, much to the chagrin of everyone who wanted them to stay together. it's sad to see GREAT things end, eventhough you know it's gotta happen. ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO END =/ sad, but true! |
