Here's an example of the Hoofman Dogpile. Another innocent Beatles thread: "Think For Yourself - Fuzz Bass." Everyone played nicely with each other for a few minutes. Someone brings up the topic of horns used on Beatles songs.
Hoofy helpfully offers this: "Those horns on Beatles records. Yikes, why oh why did they sound like a kazoo orchestra? Did someone think that this was a good sound? Why just not use kazoos?" The conversation immediately goes South: Steve, I couldn't agree more! For all the excellent sound that Abbey Road was generally known for, the horn sections on Beatles records were weird sounding. It never sounded like there was a bit of brass in those instruments. Kazoo is the perfect analogy. I know Paul wanted "Got To Get You Into My Life" to emulate Motown, but it never sounded like Motown horns to me.
The horns sound OK to me on "Got To Get You Into My Life", but yeah, "Savoy Truffle" is kazoo-o-rama.
And LADY MY-DONNA. And GOOD MORNING, etc.
I'm getting a chuckle out of this kazoo business.
Oh, crap! Now I'm hearing kazoos everywhere! Make it stop!
Maybe Geoff Emerick loved that distorted dinky compressed-to-heck brass sound. They all sound that way.
Nah, they sound freakin' great.
Oh, man, I LOVE the sound of the horns on Beatle records!!!
They didn't want to sound sterile so they dirty-d up the horn sound. Maybe distracting on first listen but a signature sound---I like it. I happen to love all of those songs----Got To Get You Into My Life, Good Morning Good Morning, Lady Madonna and Savoy Truffle.

For all the "yikes" StEve brings up about Beatles' sounds, be it horns or drums or guitar tones, it's funny how the songs have endured and everyone and their mother has spent 50-60 years trying to copy these sounds.

If I die without hearing The Beatles receive STeVE's breath of life, then I might as well never have been born. Well, only that I may live to hear NOW AND THEN with Paul and Ringo overdubbed and George flown in. Maybe Dhani and Giles and Heather can add some backings. And insert Billy Preston's organ in there too.

That would be the first and only time Billy Preston’s organ would be inserted in something that’s 40.

Thanks. I was in a good mood till I read that thread. Thunderman has to be some former shit head. Dunno who, but definitely someone who has been there before and got the boot.

I wondered if it’s someone from here after his deep wind-up on the REM thread and the comments on Macca’s Freedom.

Uhh, you've just discovered that many here are not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree? And many of them are completely lacking a sense of humor. Some of the posts that are clearly intended to be funny are just lame jokes told from people who have no sense of humor. I hate it when unfunny people think they are funny. It's like a fat girl wearing a bikini.
