I've seen Shatner 3x recently at the FanExpo and GalaxyCon events in NOLA.

He looks good for 95.

Shatner will bury them all.

And attend none of their funerals. :bow:

Not to derail the thread, but once you realize what an insufferable prick Murry Wilson was the funnier this is.

Interesting question.

He was the one who said they needed to speed up "Please Please Me" which set the template for all of their big hits which followed (She Loves You, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, All My Loving, etc), so he was certainly important. As others have mentioned, his ability to arrange, produce and interpret what the members told him they wanted was critical too.

I've been watching different Bealte videos lately and have come to appreciate the late year contributions of Geoff Emerick who replaced Norman Hurricane Smith as their engineer after Rubber Soul. He too was instrumental in implimenting requests made by the group for certain sounds (like running John's voice through a Leslie speaker on Tommorrow Never Knows).

Bottom line, I don't think they would have enjoyed their breakthrough success without George Martin and without the early success there is no White Album, Revolver, Sgt Pepper or Abbey Road, etc. He was their mentor, instructor, collaborator and occasional uncredited musician. So he certainly deserves any and all accolades that come his way.
My wife wanting to sleep in a wind tunnel of fans forced us into separate rooms. I tried wearing hooded sweatshirts, hiding under blankets, angling the frickers away from me - no dice. She couldn't sleep without them and I couldn't maintain a clear head being constantly chilled in my sleep. So after about ten years I said eff it, "I now pronounce you fan and wife", and went to another room.
Hmmm ... I keep trying to cut back and can't stop getting work coming at me from all directions.

He can't. Short Bus thinks he's a musical genius. :lol:

If I can't draw but you can, and I tell you that I'd like you to draw me a picture of a man wearing a blue jacket and red pants who has a Van Dyke beard and is sad because he just dropped his ice cream cone on the ground, and you do it, whose art is the finished drawing?

Based on the discussion in this thread, I think Daffy has the legal grounds to claim the paintings as his intellectual property.

I'm willing to pay up to $5 for those lyrics.

So less than the price of a Big Mac. Hmmm.... :bow:

This is a question but is the music not copyrighted until you put your lyrics to it? So could I use the music and change the lyrics?

I think you should and let him sue to stop you.

Of course, since no one is going to care enough to buy any of it would the compensation be a percentage of a penny?

"I'll Be On My Way" - Scott McCarl

Isn't it obvious he has the emotional make-up of a child?
A sad day. Steve Gaines had rejuvenated the band and they were primed for a great second phase in their career.

You could make a case their loss killed the genre, although 80's country music morphed into much of what they were doing.

Your opinions mean sh*t to me.

NIce. Then we're even.
The melody / instrumentation first. Lyrics always last and sometimes barely known for decades.

That said, I have learned lyrics to sing by repeated verse by verse listens until I get it all.

While all of you have been sitting around complaining about AI music my brother and I just finished making our 30th song using AI.

All of them turned out better than we ever imagined they would.

Good. Offer them to a group of people who give a shite. :cheers:

I dunno. He is the only artist I have seen live who killed it playing every instrument on the stage during the show.

I'm not a Hank Jr. fan, but I've read/heard similar things.

For instance, Jerry Lee Lewis taught him how to play piano and he can like the Killer. If so, he's no slouch as a musician.
