Awesome The Beatles
Beatles Song Medley
Remember Freddie Gredde, the guy behind those classic TV theme song and Cartoon medleys? Well he’s back with a brand new medley, a lovely 23-song collection from The Beatles, accompanied by a delightful animation he created himself – with a little help from his friend Kang Seunghyun.
Yellow Submarine Tiny House
We’re pretty sure The Beatles envisioned a much larger ship when they proclaimed “We all live in a yellow submarine.” But as Living Big in a Tiny House shows us, you don’t even need to live beneath the waves to dwell in such a golden vessel. If you happen to be visiting New Zealand, you can even stay there.
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da… Hallway Goes On
Here’s an oldie but a goodie. Back in 2011, the members of MercyMe performed this exuberant cover of The Beatles’ classic Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da in a very long hallway. Along the way, they got by with a little help from their friends.
While My Muse Gently Weeps
Despite their very different sounds, The Beatles and Muse have at least a couple of things in common – they’re both English and both have filled large stadiums. Andre Antunes finds more middle ground between the two bands with this great performance of While My Guitar Gently Weeps done in Matt Bellamy’s grand style.
The Beatles Automaton Sculptures
Argentinian artist Daniel Bennan creates amazing sculptures which move via a mechanism of gears and bent wire. Among his works are a series of automatons inspired by The Beatles, one with the Fab Four playing their instruments, and four walking machines based on John, Paul, George, and Ringo.
Come Together: Metal Edition
With the help of the WaterBear College of Music, metalhead Leo Morachiolli and his friends Hannah Boulton, Rabea Massaad, Erik Torp, and Truls Haugen scored a recording session at the famed Abbey Road Studios to record a powerful cover version of The Beatles’ Come Together with even more of an edge than Aerosmith’s version.
Get Back (Trailer)
Tenacious D Sings The Beatles
(PG-13: Language) Jack Black and Kyle Gass add their trademark over-the-top stylings to The Beatles double-header You Never Give Me Your Money and The End, with all of the swearing, scat singing, and goofball embellishments you’d expect from the duo. Downloads of the track help support Doctors Without Borders.
With The Sneatles
Hear The Beatles as you’ve never heard them before. Ghostcar’s experimental digital EP features five classic Beatles tracks reinterpreted as modern electronica. The unconventional sounds might offend die-hard Beatles fans, but so did The White Album.
AI Makes Beatles Music
Often copied, never duplicated, The Beatles were arguably the most influential pop band of the 20th century. With a little help from their friends OpenAI Jukebox, Broccaloo conducted an experiment to see what kind of music it would come up with if you fed it a bunch of the Fab Four’s classic tunes. The results are downright weird.
The Beatles: Get Back (Sneak Peek)
Director Peter Jackson has been working on a documentary about the legendary rock band The Beatles. It’s been delayed until August 2021, but Jackson has been kind enough to share a brief montage, much of which has been culled from more than 50 hours of never-before-seen footage of the Fab Four.
Two-neck Guitar Gently Weeps
Musician Luca Stricagnoli performs the classic Beatles track While My Guitar Gently Weeps to show off a neat new add-on he invented. Built by luthier Davide Serracini, the Reverse Slide Neck adds a twangy country sound to his acoustic guitar.
The Filipino Beatles
Meet the REO Brothers. Based out of Tacloban, Philippines, the rock band is exceptionally talented, and does an amazing job covering tracks from The Beatles like While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Penny Lane, Something, and In My Life. They also do quite the Alan Parsons Project cover.
The Beatles: Korean Style
After hearing Regina Spektor’s cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, we knew that ballades by The Beatles lent themselves well to an Asian interpretation. Now Luna Lee has driven the point home with this warm and soothing cover version of their tune Michelle, played on the gayageum with her usual aplomb.
Here Comes the Sun
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ Abbey Road, their company Apple Corps collaborated with Trunk Animation to create a new music video for Here Comes The Sun. The clip takes us inside the famed Abbey Road Studios’ Studio Two, and features rare band images, and film footage shot by Linda McCartney.
2 Musicians, 1 Guitar
Musicians Rob Scallon and Mary Spender teamed up to perform a great cover version of The Beatles’ classic Come Together on a truly unique instrument – a two-sided acoustic with a 6-string guitar on one side, and a 4-string bass on the other.
Jake Shimabukuro: Eleanor Rigby
Ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro and his fellow musicians turn in an outstanding performance of The Beatles classic Eleanor Rigby, with the uke complemented beautifully by Jerry Douglas‘ artistry on the lap steel guitar. From the album The Greatest Day.
Because: Theremin Cover
We always thought The Beatles’ track Because a trippy and haunting tune to begin with, so it’s no wonder that the otherworldly sounds of the theremin suit the song so perfectly, especially in the capable hands of Cihan Gulbudak, one of the true masters of the unusual electronic instrument.
Paul Is Dead
(PG-13: Language) The Beatles frontman Paul McCartney was rumored to have died back in the late 1960s. Director George Moore’s short film brings to life an alternative version of the myth – that he perished on a drug trip, and was replaced with a double by his bandmates.
