I haven't re-read all of that thread, but if you want to start another on that topic go right ahead.

Aaaargh, you gotta be kidding!

It was a ridiculous thread from the beginning and not even a real topic, so the hell I will do, rest assured!

That invitation was really aimed at Funny Paper - see his/her original post.

Here's the bass thread

http://www.beatlesbible.com/fo.....-v-george/

OK, thanks. I think my reason in the final post on that thread still stands. IIRC there were quite a few threads like that at the time, which ended up as stupid slanging matches involving people who didn't know when to walk away. It was ruining the forum. I'm always grateful when people contribute to this site to make it better, but nobody would bother if it was full of bickering and arguing, especially if those arguments have nothing to do with The Beatles.

That'll put a stop to their curiosity for all time.

THIS is the sort of reason why a topic might get locked. Someone asks a valid question, then it careers off into a vortex of irrelevance.

Please, I'm begging you, don't turn this thread into another "Who did the bloody Aaahs in ADITL". I don't think I could cope! There's already a thread for that.

Well, obviously there will always be newcomers, and if they don't care to go through the thread and read everything that has been said they will want to discuss the matter again and again...

I admit this is not on topic, but the original question ...]]> Sat, 03 Nov 2012 20:16:10 +0000 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/forum-rules-and-help-guides/why-are-some-topics-locked/#p59868 Forum rules and help guides http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/forum-rules-and-help-guides/why-are-some-topics-locked/#p59868 THIS is the sort of reason why a topic might get locked.

I found an interesting topic on George vs. Paul on bass and wanted to add a reply, but found it was "locked".

 

Why on earth would a forum lock a topic?  That kind of discourages new members.

At any rate, the crux of your argument I think is the "chest" singing of Paul, which I agree he has; I just don't hear it sufficiently in any part of those "Ahhhs". 

That's funny, since Paul does all the Aaahs with his chest voice throughout (btw, EVERYONE has a chest voice). In contrast, check out the backing vocals, where we can hear John doing some high "Uuuhs" with his head voice.

Since you mention the moment when they fade, at the very last moment his voice kind of breaks in a way only a chest voice can. You ...]]> Sat, 03 Nov 2012 19:45:19 +0000 http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/forum-rules-and-help-guides/why-are-some-topics-locked/#p59866 Forum rules and help guides http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/forum-rules-and-help-guides/why-are-some-topics-locked/#p59866 If you want arsenic just smoke a cigarette.

Thanks Von Bontee, and thanks for the link.  (I just re-listened to "A Day in the Life" and it seems clear to my ears that all the "Ahhhs" are John's.

You don't need to go through all the pages, I explain all you need to know on page one, everything else is more or less redundant.

I know someone who asked about that on Paul's Facebook site but never got a reply.
