He’s obsessed with ressurectinf dead bands by making new fake songs. Here he is talking about his ideal bonus track to Abbey Road, a Frankenstein version of a boring John Lennon song.
>>>slane said: ↑ >>>I agree, but faux-Beatles mash-ups are not 'true'.
Johnny: “Well first the term mash-up implies usually, 2 or more different songs totally unrelated mixed together. In a usually imo hideous result. Flying in a Harrison guitar part from Lyceum ballroom & "perhaps" some McCartney overdub in the right key is not the same thing at all really. Or & flying in a clean Nicky Hopkins keyboard.
But I get it, you think its a bad idea. Fair enough. Opinions vary. I'd like to see more stuff on these Beatles box sets & for less money !. Abbey Road is one of many Beatles albums, with only a smattering of unreleased outtakes. So especially in a case where they only have 2-3 or 4 non lp songs, i'd like to see them get creative & try to assemble 1 or 2 more. Instead of adding 40 alternate unfinished takes & labeling them outtakes, as if we're actually getting that.”

Fucking headcase: Here he is about "Now and Then": I've talked to Yoko Ono about it, members of Wings, Mark Hudson,.. "...I asked Bobby Dylan, I asked the Beagles, I asked Timothy Leary but he couldn't help me neither They call me a SHitehead; I've been searchin' gripin' low and hi-iiiiiiigh.... Won't get to remaster 'Til the day I die!"

He’s never felt more certain:
“Ok, back to the new album...reasons I feel 'certain' it's best since WHO By Numbers in 75.....first reason is fate & luck, the ball just bounced their way this time...meaning specififically..”

"I believe Daltrey is sincere when he says its their best album since Quadrophenia----then later he said----best since Who's Next...meaning he thinks its better than Quad..."
Because Daltrey will say anything to sell more than 100 copies of the new album. Fuckwit.

And best since Quad is not the highest of bars. It can be their best since then and still suck.

Jesus.... “Could Harrison's harmony vocal on Ringo's 73 Sunshine Life For Me, could it be isolated, maybe even pitched to sing the melody & flown in over Ringo's backing track It's a Harrison tune anyway, given to Ringo, who is fine on it, I'd just like to hear a Harrison version.”

Needs a Nicky Hopkins overdub flown in, plus a modern McCartney overdub.

Yes, if only Olivia Harrison cared about her husband’s legacy...

You can fly in all the edits you want, but no one will be giving a flying fuck

From the Abbey Road 50th thread:
"It's my view AT LEAST 25-40 cool Beatles tracks could be assembled..BUT imo to bring it up to high fidelity, good listening standards....you would have to employ some or all of the following...editing of pieces of,various multiple takes into 1 complete coherent take. Use DES-digital editing...to seperate multiple instruments locked together on 1 track..fly in instruments from one take onto another...synchronize & edit the so called Nagra A & B film audio, to create real stereo from some of the filmed audio rehearsals. Possibly synching-editing-pitch correction, EQ,-time stretching-compressing to fix -regulate tempo problem...of multiple takes layered together---to create overdubs like doubled lead vocals-guitar solos..backround vocals...to get more musical parts-fuller more overdubbed sound--- say one take had a piano or percussion or unused guitar part....fly it onto the new assembled-edited master take....so on some songs....instead of just 2 guitars, bass & drums....you might be able to add a piano & or organ, doubled lead vocal, & or backrounds, & or tambourine-shaker or additional drum part.
All hypothetical what you could or would do..i'm just trying to illustrate what you could do...& the types of steps one would need to do...to upgrade, clean up, fatten, the sound...it's all very very doable...with multiple takes & partial takes of a hundred + songs.. IF they got 10-Complete, clean, new, cool Beatles tracks-songs, including even 2 or 3 unreleased Beatles originals & 6 or 8 covers from their early repetoire..how could you ignore or not do that ?
It would be authentic, real, editing different pieces of takes, flying in say a bass from another take..that is older than the oldest Elvis recording for Sun Records..de-mixing or digital editing or doubling..are just newer 'tools' in a very old production technique. A good example is last years White album 50th. Where Giles M & Sam O'Kell took a Lennon guitar from one take of Goodnight...& flew it onto another take of Goodnight, thar had all 4 Beatles singing harmony together...presumably, they also did a little work on pitch, tempo etc, to make them fit together properly..the Jan 69 Beatles stuff, is a treasure trove of opportunity for that kind of thing."
Dull cunt.

I presume he's never heard the Everyday Chemistry mashup album which operates along these lines and is fucking dreadful?
