The Beatles were raw musically, but I think they really had something.
So to compare the Beatles, obviously the Beatles are the Beatles, but in hip-hop terms, Tribe is the Beatles. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five are the Beatles. Big Daddy Kane is Jimi Hendrix. It means that much to people that grew up with it.
I never had a magazine, I never listened to a certain band. Actually, I was listening to bands from the '60s and '70s with my dad, so I knew more about The Beatles than I did about what was topical in my life.
Every good band in the world was a cover band first. The Beatles were and the Stones were. Everybody was a cover band.
The biggest break in my career was getting into the Beatles in 1962. The second biggest break since then is getting out of them.
I'm dissatisfied with every record the Beatles ever f***ing made. There ain't one of them I wouldn't remake.
When you think about great teams, The Beatles and the Pythons immediately spring to mind. The Pythons were as much a part of their time as The Beatles.
The Beatles exist apart from my Self. I am not really Beatle George. Beatle George is like a suit or shirt that I once wore on occasion and until the end of my life people may see that shirt and mistake it for me.
The first time I heard The Beatles, I cried. It was 'Let it Be'.
Without Jimmy (James) Dean the Beatles would never have existed.
You see, we're influenced by whatever's going. Even if we're not influenced, we're all going that way at a certain time. If we played a Stones record now - and a Beatles record - and we've been way apart, you'd find a lot of similarities. We're all heavy. Just heavy.
It's like there was me, then the Beatles phase, and now I'm me again.
The Beatles were basically a vocal band.
I'm a huge Beatles fan, but I've only really gotten into them as an adult.
I was nervous. I mean, I'd met the Beatles, and Elvis, and everybody, but this was Salvador Dalí. This was like my history.
I've been in The Who, I've been in The Beatles and I've been in Pink Floyd! Top that!
You know how the Beatles broke off - they all did their solo projects and they came back together and they were even stronger!
There are only four people who knew what the Beatles were about anyway.
I've been obsessed with The Beatles since I was two.
You cant beat The Beatles, you join em.
