Why should she take that kind of shit from those people? They were writing about her looking miserable in the film Let It Be, but you sit through sixty sessions with the most bigheaded, uptight people on earth and see what it’s fuckin' like and be insulted. When asked about how he felt about the other Beatles’ reactions to Yoko, this is what he had to say:

It was John who got on well with her–that was John who got on well with her… that was the whole point. He also admits “The thing is, in truth, I never really got on that well with Yoko anyway. He’d fallen in love, and none of us was stupid enough to say, ‘Oh, you shouldn’t love her.’ We could recognize that, but that didn’t diminish the hurt we were feeling by being pushed aside. It was …like old army buddies splitting up on account of wedding bells. This hurt Paul McCartney slightly he was happy for his friend’s marriage, of course, but he didn’t like that Yoko replaced him: She also demanded that everyone treated her as an equal, even though she wasn’t a Beatle. This wasn’t the case, however, and she often criticised and commented on their work while in the studio. When John met her, he fell madly in love with her, but he had assumed that the other Beatles would also fall in love with her. Yoko Ono was John Lennon’s wife, and she attended The Beatles’ recording sessions often. Yoko Ono He’d fallen in love, and none of us was stupid enough to say, ‘Oh, you shouldn’t love her.’ So I was saying to John, ‘What is going on here? You’re always together all the time, you know. So, we all got a bit weird, and I was wondering what was happening one day. I mean, the pair of them were amazing… They suit each other, I think. But then she’s sittin' in the studio on his amp.

And that was fine as John’s relationship when we all said hello to her, because she was with John. The wives and the girlfriends never came to the studio… THAT was when WE were together. I thought we were very possessive of each other in a way. The four of us had been through a lot together and we were very close… most of the time. John Lennon hated Paul towards the final sessions, and felt that Paul was trying to ruin his songs-according to him, they were recorded badly, and Paul only wanted to experiment on John’s tracks.Īnother problem was Yoko Ono, John Lennon’s wife, being present during sessions. Paul had a similar incident with Ringo Starr, who left the studio in annoyance months earlier. There’s even a scene in the “Let it Be” film where Paul McCartney and George Martin start arguing after Paul tells George how he should be playing the guitar, and George walks out of the studio. Paul was very bossy in the studio-although all of The Beatles were used to this, they often stood up to it, and this caused many arguments. And John kept saying we were musically standing still.'

Studio Sessions By the time we made “Abbey Road”, John and I were openly critical of each other’s music and I felt John wasn’t much interested in performing anything he hadn’t written himself…So I felt the split coming.

But you realize that you’re in real life, and you don’t split up a beautiful thing with a beautiful thing.īack with another Beef Breakdown, and this week, we’re looking at the beef between John Lennon and Paul McCartney! Let’s get into it. I’d love it to have had the Beatles go up in a little cloud of smoke and the four of us just find ourselves in magic robes, each holding an envelope with our stuff in it. People said, ‘It’s a pity that such a nice thing had to come to such a sticky end.
