He was a vital part of The Beatles, he was lucky to have them and they were very lucky to have him. Sad to hear about his death but what a remarkable life he had.
Not sure about this thing of calling him the fifth Beatle. How many 'fifth' Beatles were there ?? Stu Sutcliffe was a 'fifth Beatle' George Best was a 'fifth Beatle' Jimmy Tarbuck was a 'fifth Beatle' Derek Taylor (PR Manager) was a 'fifth Beatle' Neil Aspinall (road manager-turned-business-executive) was a 'fifth Beatle' Pete Best has also been called the 'fifth Beatle' |

In one of the angrier missives included in The John Lennon Letters, the then-bitter ex-Beatle lays into Martin for supposedly taking too much credit for the group's sound. He also smacks the producer down for giving McCartney too much credit for some of the songwriting.
"When people ask me questions about 'What did George Martin really do for you?,' I have only one answer, 'What does he do now?' I noticed you had no answer for that! It's not a putdown, it's the truth," wrote Lennon, who had brought in Phil Spector to redo Martin's work on Let It Be and then continued to work with Spector as a solo artist. . https://www.yahoo.com/music/bp/john-lennon-letters-reveal-bitterness-toward-george-martin-192300104.html |

Apparently some brain dead muppets have taken to twitter, pondering what's going to happen to Game of Thrones now that George Martin has died
 RIP Sir George. |

John Lennon was never happy. A bitter man. Talented of course but not a very likeable person.

^ Lennon was often bitter and deeply unpleasant. Probably from what happened to him as a child made him that way. Then later the drugs and Yoko changed him even more. It wasn't just Martin he lays into when he was angry, McCartney, Ringo, Epstein, his first wife Cynthia and his kids...... and he sings about love and peace but he was the opposite of those !
I recently finished reading the book Cynthia wrote him. He could be a very harsh, cruel and insensitive man, he had a lot of pain which all goes back to his childhood. Hugely talented, could be nice and caring at times, but often a selfish, drug-addled idiot. |
