My wife will spend my money and I'll have to decide
Should I release Carnival of Light? - c010rb1indusa, on 11/16/2008, -8/+144New Beatles release...that's like a dream come true!
- Dundasbro, on 11/16/2008, -4/+107Why wouldn't they release it? Even if it sucked, its worth hearing.
- inactive, on 11/16/2008, -3/+94I wonder if this was around the time McCartney was listening to Zappa. McCartney is a great songwriter, but if GEORGE (of all people) called it too avant-garde, I'm sure that was just a nice way of saying 'hey mate, this ***** sucks.'
- ibeetle, on 11/16/2008, -11/+83The time has come for Beatles fans to hear this? *****.
The time has come for Paul to come up with some more cash. Heather cost him a mint.
So instead of a 3 minute Revolution number 9 (from the white album) we get a 14 minute Revolution number 9.
Revolver, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles (aka White Album) Let It Be... Naked (a Let it Be reissue), Magical Mystery Tour, and Yellow Submarine. The Beatles could be anything but mainstream or commercial when they wanted to be. - metapop, on 11/16/2008, -4/+69"George Harrison said it was too avant-garde"
So this is *more* avant-garde than "Revolution #9" on the White Album? The White Album is one of my favorite Beatles albums, but arguably the most varied and the most avant garde work they did.

- h3xley, on 11/16/2008, -0/+53Actually, Revolution 9 goes for 8:22.
- CarStan, on 11/16/2008, -5/+58Reminds me of Dewey Cox: 'It needs more didgeridoos. I hear an army of didgeridoos, 50.000 didgeridoos!'
- fabkebab, on 11/16/2008, -1/+46I bet its rubbish!!!! Thats pretty much what you can sense reading between the lines of the article
- koyner, on 11/16/2008, -1/+45David: What are we going to do, we've got nothing to play here...
Derek: I'll tell you what we're gonna have to do...
David: What?
Derek: Jazz odyssey!
David: We're not going about to do a free-form jazz, uh, exploration in front of a festival crowd!

- betheturtle, on 11/16/2008, -1/+36What would you do if I put out a tune
would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll play you a song
guaranteed to be far out of key - trzynascie, on 11/16/2008, -1/+36number 9... number 9... number 9... number 9...
- skippyrandom, on 11/16/2008, -1/+33I'd like to hear it, just because.
And guys...yeah, Paul got screwed by his ex-wife BIG TIME, I agree.. but I doubt he wants to release 'Carnival of Light' because he's running low on cash. This is Paul Mccartney. He still tours, writes, records, promotes, regularly. I don't think he's doing this for the money.
My 2 cents. - newms32, on 11/16/2008, -4/+31Too bad even the Beatles themselves thought it was total *****.
- Gosunkugi, on 11/16/2008, -0/+26I refuse to believe that there is anything that would be "too avant-garde" for Yoko Ono.
- TheOneTrueGod, on 11/16/2008, -2/+27You misspelled "Sorry, I have absolutely nothing to say to this subject.".
- icecoldtrashcan, on 11/16/2008, -3/+24goo goo ga'joob
- jayrok, on 11/16/2008, -7/+28Somebody needs money!
We want pre-nup! - jlimon, on 11/16/2008, -0/+20No he's not.
- mrsmyth, on 11/16/2008, -2/+22According to Geoff Emerick, Abbey Road Studios recording engineer for the Beatles, it was Paul who resisted inclusion of John Lennon's collage piece Revolution 9 on the White Album. So maybe he's not as avant-garde as he wants to remember it.
- marm0lade, on 11/16/2008, -1/+19No it wasn't. This was recorded on Jan 5th 1967. Pink Floyd started recording their first album there on Feb 21 1967. Wikipedia is your friend.
- kelmaster1, on 11/16/2008, -1/+17Heather Mills is a bitch... She does all these things: PETA member, Vegan, Anti-Landmine foundation... it's all just a cover to make herself feel better about what kind of gold digging whore she really is.
- danthemanhan, on 11/16/2008, -2/+18You kinda suck in my book
- Ryosen, on 11/16/2008, -1/+16And the Beatles began recording of Sgt Peppers on December 6, 1966, 3 1/2 months before Pink Floyd started on theirs and four months before Pink Floyd was picked up by EMI. Pink Floyd is a great band, one of my favorites, but get your facts straight.
- DephexTwin, on 11/16/2008, -0/+14CoL TWA R9 LOL WTF C3PO
- Ryosen, on 11/16/2008, -0/+14Uh, no. Pink Floyd started recording their first release, Piper's at the Gates of Dawn while the Beatles were in post-production of Sgt. Pepper. If you think there are similarities between the two albums, it's probably because Norman Smith, the producer for Piper, also produced the Beatles' albums prior to Sgt. Pepper.
- dieboldcracy, on 11/16/2008, -8/+22It's be better than the ***** he's peddling now
- inactive, on 11/16/2008, -1/+14It's OK to not like the Beatles' music, but if it weren't for them music would be very different today. Gotta respect them for that.
- inactive, on 11/16/2008, -0/+13His spirit is totally blocking that possibility.
- drgmdp, on 11/16/2008, -1/+14your book is wrong
- ThinkBox, on 11/16/2008, -3/+14Awesome! Pass that!
- JekJob, on 11/16/2008, -0/+11Definitely not... I'm sure he has more money than you could imagine.
- inactive, on 11/16/2008, -0/+11I also love how you called him Lenin. I somehow think that it wasn't an accident.
- inactive, on 11/16/2008, -0/+11NUMBER 9, NUMBER 9, SHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK, NUMBER 9, SHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK, CACKLE, NUMBER 9, PRIMAL SCREAM, SHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEK.
- zydeco, on 11/16/2008, -0/+11I'm all for Zombie George Harrison doing a song or something.
- nikedude, on 11/16/2008, -1/+11I only see white...
- Medicamusic, on 11/16/2008, -0/+10Artists dont want to release material they personally dont like or feel is good enough. Real artists anyway, not Britney Spears.
- 9umber9ine, on 11/16/2008, -0/+10"jumble of shrieks and psychedelic effects"
his friends have vetoed the song for a reason... it is not worth to listen to.
paul is my favorite, but he should know that there's a limit. - inactive, on 11/16/2008, -0/+10There are plenty of good bands today and the Beatles are still inspiring them. Mainstream music sucks because it's all about profit and not creativity.
- quisph, on 11/16/2008, -0/+10That could be the author's misinterpretation of what Harrison said. Later in the article, it says that Harrison described the piece as "avant-garde a clue." Maybe he was not disparaging the avant-garde as a whole, but merely Paul's pretentious efforts at it?
- inactive, on 11/16/2008, -3/+12Reported.
- inactive, on 11/16/2008, -0/+9No, but when Sgt Pepper is obviously influenced by Zappa's 'Freak Out!' and then claim to have released the first concept album of the time, it's a little different than two bands recording in the same space.
- cliffdogg, on 11/16/2008, -0/+9I think it was. This song was "written" around the time Sgt. Pepper's was recorded, after which McCartney commented "this is going to be our Freak Out!". I use "written" loosely, as this is a sound collage that in all likelihood sounds like Sir Paul dropped some Lucy in the Sky and went nuts on the recording console.
- quisph, on 11/16/2008, -0/+8The avant-garde still exists, it just sounds different today than it did in 1967.
- the2989, on 11/16/2008, -3/+11Good luck getting diggs.
- sragland, on 11/16/2008, -0/+8Yeah honestly how can anyone think Paul Mccartney would run out of money lol
- oxymoron69, on 11/16/2008, -0/+7Who the ***** are you?
You call yourself Jess, is it?
