I've never listened to The Beatles... | Gen-Z Music Producer Reaction

Not knowing The Beatles and being a Music Producer is like not knowing Shakespeare and calling yourself a Playwright.

The more this producer releases videos about music he hasn't listened to, the more I understand why today's music is so wanting.

It will take more than Three songs to define who the Beatles are musically.

There is absolutely no way you can form a solid opinion of the Beatles on 3 songs.

That song is the reason you even know the word “Mellotron”.

You asked what people were used to hearing before the Beatles. Ozzy Osbourne said "When the Beatles showed up, all of the sudden the world went from black and white to color. It changed everything."

I've never heard anybody say that the Beatles were "led" by Paul McCartney. They were "THE Beatles". A band. I know these days everyone thinks that the most important thing in a song is the singer. They all were virtuosos on their instruments, too.

Please keep in mind that all this was produced only with analogue equipment. No sampler, no digital loop, no computers. They built long tape loops in the studio - with broomsticks! - and were way ahead of their time. Regards from Germany YEAH !!

If the Beatles aren't your favorite band, they're your favorite band"s favorite band. If any musician says they're not inspired by the Beatles, they're lying

As a professional producer, you should probably familiarise yourself with Mr George Martin, who was the Beatles' producer from start to finish. His impact was such that it wouldn't be unreasonable to call him the fifth Beatle. The orchestrations were his; it was his idea in the first place to have orchestra music in some Beatle's songs. He was a genius.

You have so much to learn, the Beatles changed the world, not just the music. They started as teenagers, their parents have the co sign their contracts. By the age of 21 they had changed the world. They changed their music style many times and that reflected other changes world wide. In America they MADE the organisers let all race of people into their shows, or they would go on. Never limit yourself to one type of music, it make you boring.

All this shows is how amazingly uninformed someone can be about anything but the shallow surface of the creative field they get involved in. Like thinking there was no drama before the latest TV soap and basing an acting career on it.

A "music producer" that has never listened to The Beatles is akin to a writer that has never heard of vowels and consonants.

Someone has probably already said this but the Beatles have been influencing music for 60 years.

As a late-stage Gen-Xer (age 56), it's very easy to make fun of this kid's ignorance of the evolution of rock and the influence of the Beatles, but it's fascinating to see someone's fresh reaction having never grown up with it. As a side note, the confused initial take from this guy is something I wish they'd explored in that Danny Boyle film, "Yesterday," about the only man in the world that had heard of the Beatles. That film assumed that everything they ever did would be instantly be regarded as genius completely out of historical context. I would love to see a remake of "Yesterday" based on tabula-rasa Gen-Z guys like this who were raised with hip-hop and intensely overproduced pop music.

This year Jude Bellingham played for the English Football team. The crowd sang 'Hey Jude' to him 56 years after the song was released. Thats endurance

The tech may have been limited back then, but the talent is limited NOW.

Dude, that's akin to a classical composer saying he's never heard Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc.

And he said to himself”and I call myself a music producer”.

Led by Paul McCartney AND John Lennon. In fact, even according to Paul, John was always the true leader of The Beatles.
