Five musicians John Lennon hated

John has said his first love was Paul, he didn’t hate Paul and Paul didn’t hate John, they loved each other

John did not hate Paul. They were as close as brothers. And as anyone who has a brother knows, brothers fight. Sure they both lashed out at each other a bit. The breakup of the Beatles was very acrimonious. But they eventually got past all that and the 4 of them remained friends as long as they lived. The last words John spoke to Paul were "Think of me sometimes." You don't say that to someone you hate.

The word "hated" is a bit strong, he actually played with Zappa and he didn't hate Bob Dylan. Crazy video.

John criticized the state of music in 1979? Poor John. He should listen to the state of popular music today. He'd shit his draws.

You did not mention that Dylan said to Lennon ... "you guys never say anything", after that the Beatles started writing songs with more meaningful lyrics than 'she loves you ya ya ya'.

Can't imagine ever being that famous, especially at such young ages. How would the rest of us handle being a Beatle?

John and Paul were friends until his death, in an interview from the 70s he literally calls Paul his “best friend”.

Lennon changed like the wind. I'd take everything listed here with a pinch of salt.

John sadly harboured a lot of pettiness and seemed to turn on former idols and friends often and for no very good reason. One should remember that he died a relatively young man, after living a very special, isolated life that he didn't handle too well - cue the absurd amount of drugs. We never got to listen to his views as a mature, sober man.

Think about this: All of The Beatles never witnessed the impact of the mania from the other side, because they were the embodiment of it.. Sadly, John Lennon and to a certsin extent George Harrison were not alive long enough to reap the fruit of their legacy, they were taken from us long before they could really enjoy their legacy the way Paul, and Ringo have been able too.. Therefore, up until 1980 John was probably still looking at his time with The Beatles as passè, although knowing his genius, he was probably unsure how the legacy of The Beatles would pan out.. However, we've been given enough time to know different.. The Beatles are now just as important today as they've ever been..

Zappa had beef with Lennon over a song they performed together at a Zappa/Mothers concert. Frank claims that John got 'creative' with the rights, as Lennon used the recording and changed the name of the song on his album. I always thought that Lennon's solo stuff had the worst production quality, save for Double Fantasy.

In an earlier interview John said he hated Jazz. He said it reminded him of drinking stale beer. Then in his 1980 Playboy interview, he said the only thing he listened to was Jazz. 😄

John was not in a happy frame of mind, during his 71 Rolling Stone,interview, he pretty much put everyone and everything down, except BB King, the song Spirit in the Sky,and Dave Edmonds, remake of I Hear you Knocking. You really can’t use this interview because, by the time it came out, he had already changed his mind about much of what he said he was a emotional guy who was always evolving!

With Lennon and McCartney it was a very complex relationship. The bottom line is that they both loved each other very much but their paths diverged. It was definitely a love/hate thing but eventually they reconciled, even though they never did get The Beatles back together. As far as Dylan is concerned, well, Lennon definitely wasn't wrong about Slow Train Coming.

I could tell you three musicians that hated Yoko.

Almost met John at 3 Savile Row, circa one very early Saturday morning (9 am), January 1970, after arranging a meeting with John, regarding a song I had written: 'Simnel Cake Blues'. I was informed by the receptionist - dearest Debbie, I believe - that John seldom arrived before noon. I stupidly left at 11.30 am. When I left, I noticed, at the left-hand side of the front-door exit, bins full of tape edits from the studio/s I thought about getting a few string-handled brown-paper bags to collect the edits, but thought I would appear to be a scrounger. Caveat: I was a very young 18 year-old at the time. All the best, John W L. Rab 👋 🕊

Subconsciously Lennon felt threatened whenever he saw talent. All his life he was tortured by feelings of abandonment. He feared the most was abandonment by his fans. Therefore, he was petrified by what he perceive as competition.

Reminder: Lennon used the work of Zappa and his band and passed it off as his own.

A child from a broken home who never resolved his ongoing issues of abandonment , lack of a nurturing environment, and resulting anger management issues and chemical dependency. Mr Peace and love? Hardly.............

My sister still has that Blood, Sweat & Tears album somewhere in storage... probably somewhere in our grandma's basement. She used to play that album all the time and I definitely remember holding onto that album cover. Dang, I hope her albums didn't get wet down there. Last I heard, the basement was in dire need of repairs. :body-blue-raised-arms:
