I heard this recently and I loved it but then realising it’s made by a machine … a fcuking algorithm (algorithim’s are the devil’s work) it left me with a dead chill feeling pessimistic about the future.
The generations of the future will be able to hear anything they want … for instance Geroge Formby singing the Beatles. Ah that’s been done already; Oasis.
Still, the future generations will be able to hear anything they want but it won’t be real and it won’t do them any good.
Or will it?

I listened for 10 secs and thought 'Nirvana'
Not in a Buddist sense.
Doh. I get your point now,

Just listened to it, really wanted to like it, but unless it’s one that slowly grows on you, I thought it was just ok. Thought McCartney’s vocals would be higher in the mix, but it sounds more of a Lennon solo effort.
Apparently Lennon’s last words to McCartney before he died was “think of me, now and then”, so I understand why McCartney was so keen to release this, just don’t think it adds much to their body of work, and it’s never going to live up to the expectation of fans either.

Looking at the get back dvds it’s plain to see that McCartney was the only one interested in doing much in the last phase of the Beatles as a band.It looked like Ringo didn’t want to lose his meal ticket,but John and George certainly didn’t look interested enough to keep them all together. I think Lennon wrote a song about Paul mentioning about how do you sleep at night,so I don’t think there was much friendship left once they’d split up.
I wish I’d been a couple of years older so that I could’ve appreciated them more when they were together rather than after they’d gone their separate ways.I also wish I hadn’t copied Pete Townsend and smashed my toy Beatles guitar as a stroppy 6 year old kid.

Really looking forward to it but not the best. Think it sounds like somebody trying to do an impression of Lennon. If that’s the best AI can do then there’s not a lot to worry about

All the Beatles you need to hear happened from 1962 - 1970. I heard Free As A Bird a few times in 1996, never listened to it since. I'm in no hurry to hear this latest 'new' one.
The past is more exciting than the future to me. Loads of things to look forward to back there. Stuff i never read, listened to or watched. Either dismissed or wasn't ready for.
The future just seems a bit meh.
And pointless.

Even if John didn't have much enthusiasm for still remaining a Beatle, Lennon and McCartney were still okay with each other in The Beatles' death throes, I think the Get Back film shows that.
It only became nasty after Paul issued his leaving statement after releasing his solo debut album in April 1970 as Lennon had already left but was keeping it quiet for now so that got his back up.
Secondly Paul suing the other three in December 1970 to officially end the group and thirdly Paul's 'Too Many People' on his 'Ram' album in 1971 John took very personally which was why 'How Do You Sleep' got written.

Just watching Get Back on Disney + and the band had clearly had enough, I think they were exhausted by it all. Paul looks like the driving force as he had taken on the management after Epstein died, so he probably felt some responsibility to them all. George seemed to have a big inferiority complex as he compared himself to Clapton. And Ringo just kind of sat there doing very little, yet he comes across as the most approachable.
When they are just jamming it is magical to watch.

61 years, eh? If The Stone Roses get wind of that, they'll reform and really take their time over their next platter.
A great excuse to dig out my favourite Beatles cover. I can't think the Fab Four ever imagined one of their tunes being blasted out like this. "No one was saaaaaaaaaaaaaaved!"
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Sounds to me like exactly what it is - a Lennon solo piece (and a rather average one at that) rather than a Beatles track. It's definitely quite haunting to hear John's voice but for me I can't help feeling that George was right and should have been left well alone.

McCartney was undoubtedly the driving force from 1967 onwards, with both John and George progressively less interested - John because of his usual general laziness, and then heroin addition and love/hate relationship with music, himself and everything else, and George because he considered himself (with some justification) undervalued. It's amazing that they produced as much as they did from Pepper onwards, and for that we have (largely) McCartney to thank (not that he got any at the time, or since).
Their relationship went through a fair few incarnations in the 70s. It's true there was some fairly bitter exchanges (both public and, one assumes, in private) in the early 70s, but this had largely healed by the mid-70s, when they met each other quite frequently, particularly when John had got out of Yoko's clutches and had gone off with May Pang. Once John had decided to give up recording and stay at home to look after Sean, there was much less contact, and John by all accounts didn't take too kindly to the McCartneys just turning up unannounced (John once said in an interview that 'he (Paul) was hurt by that, but I didn't mean to'. Once John had begun recording again in 1980 there was much more contact again - with apparently hour-long conversations once Paul had found a way to get round the ever-present portcullis that was Yoko. He's never revealed the substance of these, but at least it seems highly likely that they were on pretty good terms by this point.

Saw Paul McCartney play in Brisbane last night. 81 and played for 3 hours. Great show.
I hope he had someone else doing the singing, as he hasn't been able to sing properly for 25 years.

Well, I'd say that, the fact he can sing at all is not far short of miraculous, and i hope i look as good as he does at 81!!! On a more serious note, I'm pretty sure that those, young and old, who come to see him live would much rather hear his authentic live voice rather than a pre-recorded backing track (as favoured by some contemporary performers).

I think The Beatles slowly fell apart after Brian Epstein died, they lost cohesion and direction, very much like our team!
Like the 'new' single, better than Free As A Bird but that's not too difficult.

Nobody kept them in check the way Epstein did,and I suppose Paul had to become more of the leader if they were to carry on together.It seems that a lot of their better songs in the late 60’s had Paul singing the lead vocals.
