Hmmm Sounds good ....lots of Beatle stuff coming out lately isn't there

Emperor Morphetine

You know why don't you? It's because the Beatles Rock Band game/ CD remasters are out now, plus the BBC had a whole season of Beatles stuff recently.

Catnapper

Nowhere Boy's being talked of as a potential winner at Film Festivals...must be good!

Lucifer_666

is there some kind of beatles anniversary this year??

Emperor Morphetine

Not to my knowledge, as I said I think it's just a marketing thing for the CD remasters and Rock Band game.

Lucifer_666

i'll take your word for it bud

Emperor Morphetine

As far as I'm aware my word is the word, nobody's contradicted it yet!

Lucifer_666

there is another great scene with this only i can't find it on youtube

its Peter in bed again with the wife and after much of ado she eventually gets him to shut up singing and she puts off the light leaving the dark ness and silence until you hear that bird is the word song getting louder and louder the light comes back on and peter is literally on top of her singing it in her face

i love fanily guy

Emperor Morphetine

I liked Family Guy's recent Beatles reference, as we're on the topic- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68edB_Q1e4g&feature=related

very good...poor ringo

Emperor Morphetine

Yeh, I always thought he was underrated as a musician really.

Lucifer_666

I always think of when Lennon was asked if Starr was the best drummer in the world, and jokingly replied, "He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles!"

though later said that Ringo was a very underated musician

Emperor Morphetine

Yeh, he came out with many a good quote I think!

Lucifer_666

yep.... what a shame he was lost so young

Emperor Morphetine

Doesn't seem fair does it?

Lucifer_666

you kind of wonder what he would have created had he not been murdered

Emperor Morphetine

I suppose it's one of music's great 'what ifs', apparently the same has been asked of Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain before, too.

and now Stephen Gately too
