Make your own mind up about whether John Lennon sabotaged the Beatles with this later bass line: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLGnVJa8Fu8
Compare that to Paul McCartney’s BEST Beatles bass line (at least in my opinion): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnW0pdocT40
Or check out Paul McCartney’s ENTIRE Beatles career and how he went from a ‘fine’ bass player to a true genius and innovator on bass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMtf7PtqIlw

How can you talk about heavy metal bass without mentioning Lemmy Kilmister?
Too much talking… boring
Sounds like Pete was jealous lol. He expects us to believe Rain, Paperback writer, Norwegian Wood, I Want you (She's so Heavy) 'Till There Was You, Taxman, And Your Bird Can Sing, Think for Yourself were "lousy" instrumental performances? I'd say they're significantly tighter and more in-tune than anything from The Who in that decade lol
That bassline goes so hard. So simple but so effective.
John Lennon called ticket to ride the first heavy metal song
Lennon is the goat
Bass vi is a guitar
Closer to Tame Impala than metal. Deep Purple got to proto-metal soon enough.

Also check out Ringo's drums and the distortion on George's Les Paul. I believe George was playing his red LP on this track. It definitely has elements of metal.
1st metal song ever is =Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey by the Beatles
The Who sucks balls.
At the very beginning he says "…before any of these metal bands even existed…" And flashed several pics of old metal bands very fast and I'm almost positive one of the bands is Spinal Tap! AWESOME little Easter egg throw in there. A tip of the cap to whoever made the decision to drop that one in!!
Nah, proto-punk.
Wouldn't you say Entwhistle's tone on "My Generation" is even nastier?
The Kinks invented Heavy Metal years earlier.
John Entwistle was doing it years before Lennon. Just listen to The Who song, "Boris the Spider."
They used this guitarbass for a few tracks
Johns playing the bass cos REAL paul died in 1966. Thats why george and john had to play most of the bass on the recordings afterwards
Never rush, always behind the beat for basses–except for metal…"but he's Paul McCartney–hee-hee." Love it.
The Bass VI had a foam mute. That’s what’s getting it to chug like that. Also did the bass VI come with flats?
There’s some question about whether it’s John or Paul on a Jazz bass. There was multiple sessions. On the July 18 take the studio logs say it’s John. On the September 9th session they say it’s Paul. It is a similar tone as what he got on Glass Onion.
I wouldn’t compare Paul’s recent performance. That was many years ago.
So was it John? I think it could be. John was a better musician than he gets credit for. He plays the guitar solo in Hey Bulldog. That’s got a similar raw quality.
paul intended the bass line to be sloppy
i never understood why people like to call this song metal, sounds like u2 trying to be hard rock
I think the bassline in Paperback Writer is heavier.
No
