I actually enjoy listening to Revolution 9

[LemonMelon]

I really do. I think its relaxing, plus I find some of the conversations in the song amusing.

"The Watusi...the Twist...El Dorado."

"Take this, brother; may it serve you well."

And, of course...

"You become naked."

As a Beatles song, yeah, it's pretty crappy, but as an electronic composition I find it enjoyable. I actually don't skip it all that often.




This thread really is a combination of Zoo Confessionals and B&C.

I've been a big Beatles fan for years and years but can't think of the last time I listened to that song.

It's banished from my iPod.

Are you suggesting that it actually was on your iPod at one point?

It's on my iPod because I have the entire White Album, including this piece of weird garbage.

 

[Lancemc]

freak.

 

[LemonMelon]

I am a bit freakish.

I almost made it through half of Metal Machine Music.

[1stepcloser]

I love the beatles but that song really is quite shit.

 

[U2Man]

well, everyone knows it.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

For a while, it was the ONLY song on my iPod! <wink>

 

[intedomine]

I really like it....

Personally find it more interesting than some of the other songs on the album, especially Yer Blues and Rev 1. Gimme Rev 9 anyday...

In fact, more often than not, I'd prefer to listen to REV 9 than While My Guitar Gently Weeps or Rocky Raccoon...

 

[corianderstem]

A bunch of random shit thrown together. Yeah John, you're so edgy.

That part with the guy going "Riiiiiiiiight! Riiiiiiight!" always freaked me out. I picture it as Charles Manson or something.

 

[U2Man]

A bunch of random shit thrown together.

typical comment from people that cannot recognize art when they hear it

 

[Zoots]

I love that whole sound collage

 

[phanan]

Play this song along with You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) and you're sure to go insane.

Totally worthless, if you ask me.

 

[corianderstem]

See, now at least You Know My Name is funny. It's not trying to be ART.

The Beatles go lounge. Love it.

There was a Beatles Rarities album I used to check out from my local library when I was growing up. This was on it, it had the German version of She Loves You (Sie Liebt Dich), and a different version of Penny Lane that had a little extra trumpet flourish at the end.

Man, I wish that was on CD.

 

[AtomicBono]

this thread inspired me to listen to it

it's not a song I would normally listen to but if I'm listening to the white album all the way through I don't skip it. I think it's pretty cool actually, and there are some funny bits. surely it was incredibly innovative for its time, no? not so much a song as a barrage of sound...

you know what's a little like this except actually a song? Murder Mystery by The Velvet Underground. the voices in it are awesome, and it's a tight song

 

[Screwtape2]

I love this song

It reminds me of Peter Gabriel's We Do What We're Told.

 

[Tiger Edge]

I love it. This song is a must on headphones.

Turn me on, dead man. Turn me on, dead man. Turn me on, dead man.

 

[bono_212]

I like to listen to this song...

Backwards

 

[cobl04]

It can't be any worse than the ear-poisoning Wild Honey Pie can it?

 

[MrPryck2U]

You gotta at least smoke a couple of fatties before listening to John's ode to good old number 9.

 

[phanan]

I love this song

It reminds me of Peter Gabriel's We Do What We're Told.

Sorry, I can't see the comparison to that one. And I love We Do What We're Told.
