    fago the beatles deserve the respect in every way for their groundbreaking songwriting and amazing musicianship
    i say this whilst not owning a single album.
    you don't have to like it to appreciate it.

    i also disagree you would find many bands today with a comparable level of achievement

    Amazing musician ship? At best they were average musicians. I get that they were kinda groundbreaking in songwriting or whatever, but they weren't groundbreaking musicians. Anyone can write that shit if they were whacked off their heads on LSD. If it wasn't for George martin they'd have got no-where (or at least not be as good or famous as they are now).

    I like some of the Beatles songs, I respect that they were good and they were new. But I just don't understand the hype about them and in no way think they were even close to being the best band in history, that's all.
    I think some bands of nowadays are well better than the Beatles. Oasis being one of them. Hugely underrated.

    Crue is for people that have hairspray in their hair and dress like a cheap slut and enjoys everything in excess.

    Hahah, I love you. This is so true.

    Where would music be if Nikki Sixx and co had been hanging around German night clubs in the early 60s? In a very different place, I imagine.

    The Beatles of course.

    Yes the Beatles were original and had a creative spark whereas Oasis were completely derivative.

    Oasis are a bunch of Buskers. Plus noel is a bigger wanker than a nympho on a life sentance.

    Lilah? Go **** off , Crue would have put manners on them, even while wearing womens underwear and more make up than their mothers, just like Tommy Did with Kid Rock, Vince Did with Axl Rose and Nikki Did with Bret Michaels.

    Oasis think they are rockstars? Ha.

    wow, the beatles original actually sounds more metal than crue, the guy singing just doesn't seem to have his heart in it, he sounds like a chipmunk compared to Pauls godlike wailings.

    It's an interesting comparison. Normally you'll get the obligatory Beatles vs Rolling Stones comparison, or Beatles vs Elvis.....but this is the first time I've ever had occasion to ask myself, which band is better? The Beatles or Motley Crue?

    Motley Crue are by far the more entertaining band to read about. The Dirt is one of the funniest books I've ever read, and The Heroin Diaries is pretty entertaining in parts. The only problem with reading about the members of Motley Crue is that you come to hate them(except for Nikki Sixx).

    The Beatles on the other hand are kinda the founding fathers of modern rock music. They were part of a genereation of musicians who shaped the way popular music has developed. Without them, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Elvis and The Rolling Stones, music would be a very different place.

    I'm going to have to give it to the Beatles. For me personally, it just comes down to how f**king awesome George Harrisson was!!

    I'd agree. The beatles inspired more musicians IMO and have helped lead to where we are today.
    I'm not quite sure how much of the music that I listen to has been influenced in any way by MC.

    I'm glad someone finally posted this. Personally I'd swap out the word rock for the word pop but it's the same principle. A lot of harmonic ideas and chord progressions have been influenced directly or indirectly by stuff The Beatles did.

    Tommy Did with Kid Rock, Vince Did with Axl Rose and Nikki Did with Bret Michaels.

    Tommy and Kid Rock - Who is shagging who's ex-wife at the minute?
    Vince and Axl - They both talked crap and threatened to beat the other up, 20 years on nothing happened
    Nikki and Bret - didn't I read the other day that nikki rang Brett to apologise so that they could tour together this year?

    Hardcore guys, hardcore.

    I just think they are. People are always on about how The Beatles are the best band ever, how they were the best musical act in history. They weren't the best at what they did like. There's tonnes of acts around today that are thousands of times better than them, but they aren't nearly as famous or appreciated. I like some of their songs and think they were a good band, but nowhere near as good as people make them out to be. Just like The Rolling Stones, Nirvana (although I am a fan) and U2. (U2 ---> :mad::mad::mad: )

    Now Devildriver, there's a band for ye ;) :pac:

    seen macca last year in the rds, simply amazing. one of the best gigs I was ever at, the man is so talented. Only got into the bealtes in the last few years, after being a bit of a metal head when i was younger!

    The Beatles piss on everything Motley Crue have ever done from great heights. The Beatles are one of the most influential bands of all time and changed the course of music.

    Meanwhile Motley Crue have done what exactly....?
