Question
hi, I am wondering if you can answer a few questions for me.
1) What do you think The Beatles had that no one else did?
2) Why did people go so crazy for The Beatles?
3) How did they start a new era of music.
4) In what ways did they influence other bands?
5) Will there ever be any band like The Beatles?
thank you very much!
Hi there Nick,
it would take a book to answer to your questions! and in fact I'd suggest you to have a look to the introductory essay in Ian McDonald's "Revolution in the head - The Beatles' record and the Sixties" in which you will find all the answers and much more
Hope it helps
N.

Expertise
I`m an italian Beatle fan who`s been studying, playing, reading The Beatles for more than twentyfive years. I can answer about recording sessions, lyrics, biography, instruments and more. I`ve been playng bass guitar and their music for years and know pretty much about their music and composition. I own a double complete discography (on vinil and on cd) and lots of books about them. I regret not to be so expert about their films and personal careers, but I think I can answer nearly any question about their life and music in the period 1940 - 1970.

Usually, no Trivia on The Beatles leaves me without words. Moreover I've been playing bass guitar and their music for nearly twenty years and I can discuss on this matter quite deeply. Please no questions about vintage Lps', collectors items' or memorabilia value.
