Why was George Harrison such an asshole?
He would always talk shit about Paul and John and even disliked Paul after everyone became friends again. Helped John write his song "how do you sleep" just to spite Paul. Mind you Paul McCartney was just trying to keep the band together.
-During the Let it Be sessions he acts like an angsty teen
-writes a ton of songs with asshole titles or anti beatles lyrics such as 'don't bother me", "think for yourself", "if I needed someone", "taxman", "while my guitar gently weeps", "I, Me, Mine", and then shit like "Wah Wah' after they broke up
-Cheated on Pattie Boyd constantly in the 70's until she finally divorced him AFTER he fucked Ringo's wife. Even John thought that was fucked it, calling it "basically incest"
-He even embraced spirituality and talked about getting rid of your ego and being selfless when he was the biggest prick in the group

He was the most talented songwriter of the 4 but he wasnt as normie or extroverted or showy as them so he was ignored
seems pretty based to me
Based. He was the third best guitarist, third best songwriter, and the worst singer in the band
delusional georgetard
Reminder that George wrote the best Beatles tune: Here Comes the Sun.
The numbers don't lie and they spell disaster for you.
Sure he wrote some really good songs at the end, but I think people think of his songs in a vacuum just because John and Paul have so many timeless songs
I think he's the second best lead guitar player, third best rhythm guitar player. Paul's definitely the best guitarist in the band though.
It's pretty funny that the one who tried to become the most spiritual also wrote a song complaining about the taxman coming for his money.
harrison wrote some good songs but they are tryhard. lennon and p-mac were naturals.
this pic is incredibly /fa/
Let me rephrase that. The one who wrote a song complaining about living in the material world also complained that government man was taking his money.
HE'S FAT
Rejecting the overvalue of the material world doesn't imply on letting people stole 95% of your money.
If Harrison was following his spiritualism to the extreme then yes it would, actually.
From the beginning he was always pretty curmudgeonly, it's actually why I like him a good bit. Just kinda funny and a little endearing that his supposed "quiet" tendencies were really just suppressed bitterness. Probably just stems from him being so overshadowed by Paul and John for those first few years, which is pretty understandable, from both perspectives. People shat on Paul for pointing it out but he absolutely was not on their level until those last couple albums, but of course flourished into an incredible songwriter.
Responses like these show how everyone always either over or underrates him.
Obviously Lennon and McCartney mostly surpassed him in songwriting talent but absolutely was the best lead guitarist in the band. Paul could sound a bit more virtuosic at times but George took such a melodic "songwriters" approach to writing guitar lines that you so seldom hear in rock music. His solos and lead lines always followed the melodic center, and thus rarely sounded flashy or immediately exceptional but were always memorable and played a big role in the song's structural integrity. That requires a genius that even McCartney didn't seem to have, at least not when it came to his lead guitar work.
PAULFAG SPOTTED!
Paul was an overbearing tyrant who tried to take control of the band after John got strung out and married Yoko, but it was still officially John's band. Keep the band together? If Paul had his way EVERY song would be Granny SHIT!
George walked on on the Get Back Sessions because he was simply trying to learn a song that Paul was trying to teach John. The song Wah-Wah is the result of that incident, and describes Paul's arrogant pig headedness. The song was written during the Get Back sessions while The Beatles WERE STILL TOGETHER!
The songs you listed, with the exception of I, Me, Mine have absolutely NOTHING to do with The Beatles lyrically whatsoever.
George and Ringo swapped wives. It was mutual and consentual, and George was the one who proposed divorcing Patti, not the other way around. Plus Patti cheated on George with Eric Clapton while still married to George. The end result was Eric Clapton recording the Layla album. What's good for the goose.....
As the sign on the front gate of George's London mansion said......
FUCK OFF, ASSHOLE!
Holy fucking based
I'm OP/the guy who said Paul was the best lead guitarist in the band. I think I'm totally biased in that judgement desu. I love Paul's playing a lot more but George really did have more in the way of variety and tricks up his sleeve.
you don't understand what getting rid of your ego means man, you haven't done acid and it shows man.
Harrison was the fucking man, man.
>I believe I love my guitar more than the others love theirs. For John and Paul, songwriting is pretty important and guitar playing is a means to an end. While they’re making up new tunes I can thoroughly enjoy myself just doodling around with a guitar for a whole evening. I’m fascinated by new sounds I can get from different instruments I try out. I’m not sure that makes me particularly musical. Just call me a guitar fanatic instead, and I’ll be satisfied.
George was a retard that got lucky and thought that he had real talent like Macca and Lennon. He was shit in school, shit in the beatles (paul played the most difficult guitar parts on the albums). Ringo wrote most good George's songs.
>He was the most talented songwriter of the 4
>what is "Piggies"
>what is "Savoy Truffle"
Taxman was written about what was an honest to God 95% tax rate enforced by Wilson's Labour government.
I would have been pissed as well, socialist sympathies or not.
piggies is a very badly written satire and most of the backing was no doubt written by george martin.
Savoy truffle is a fucking aong about sweets that sounds lile it should be in a fucking sex film.
christ.
Yeah that "one for you nineteen for me" line was literally what he was being taxed. It always makes me laugh when I see libertarian type faggots championing that song because of their 30% tax rate or something.
that awkward moment when george harrison wrote half the beatles' the best songs
And the other half was John
Whenever the Beatles tried to be Zappa it turned out like complete shit
Dont blame him about the tax but theres just something that feels hypocritical about him preaching about his shit when hes sitting on hundreds of millions. hes even said that money brings bigger problems than having no money.
obviously this is not a point but even with that 95% tax running to today they would still be all *comfortably* multimillionaires.
Because the dream team didn't want to use his songs.
Singing a blues song about getting tons of pussy is pretty chad
he sounds awful. jesus.
He was in a band with the cunt that sang the line 'imagine no possessions' then filmed the music video for it in a mansion, wearing a suit, with a pearl white piano and a sports car. Lesser of two evils?
Yeah, slightly hypocritical on the money front, but he was never a greedy man when he actually had it, the guy funded Life of Brian purely because he wanted to see it amongst other things.
As he saw it, money was the reward for work, if the government that can't even keep the fucking lights on is taking all your money and pissing it away then attempting to shame you for complaining, what's the point in working?
I'd say Lennon, while more smug, was actually the less hypocritical. He's not saying he's able to live that life in Imagine...he's literally asking you to imagine it.
I'm sick of this tired sentiment. He just wasn't as good.
Preaches peace and love, funds the IRA.
Writes Beautiful Boy, emotionally abuses his son to the point of permanent hearing damage and the kid considering McCartney his real father figure.
Don't get me started on the hypocrisy of a peace-preaching hippie that beats his wife.
