Thank you for sharing this. It's a great interview in general, but I loved reading about his admiration for Paul's contributions to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Something." Contrary to much popular belief, it does sound like the two had reconciled.

Too bad CG didn't ask George who sang those "yeah yeah yeahs" and "woo woos" at the end of While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Hahahaha, that was really funny to me. Well done

Yeah, I couldn't resist!

Great interview! Most of the stuff were things I already knew, but there was some stuff I didn't know yet. Awesome!

Yeah, the stuff about their influences and Eric Clapton I already knew, but it's neat to hear him talk in detail about certain songs and his guitar-playing. What I like most about it is it shows a side of George we don't see all that often, being more forgiving and praising Paul. I wish the interviewer would've asked more about his solo career.

Part 3

GW: I think it's called being human - and young.

Harrison: It is...[sighs] It really is.

GW: How difficult was it to squeeze your songs in between the two most famous songwriters in rock?

Harrison: To get it straight, if I hadn't been with John and Paul I probably wouldn't have thought about writing a song, at least not until much later. They were writing all these songs, many of which I thought were great. Some were just average, but, obviously, a high percentage were quality material. I thought to myself, If they can do it, I'm going to have a go. But it's true: it ...

Part 2
Guitar World: John Lennon said, "I grew up in Hamburg - not Liverpool." Is that also true of the Beatles as a group?

George Harrison: Oh, yeah. Before Hamburg, we didn't have a clue. [laughs] We'd never really done any gigs. We'd played a few parties, but we'd never had a drummer longer than one night at a time. So we were very ropy, just young kids. I was actually the youngest - I was only 17, and you had to be 18 to play in the clubs - and we had no visas. They wound up deporting me after our second year ...

While procrastinating on Google today, I came across this really cool interview with George. He talks about Hamburg, his songwriting, working with Paul and John, their different processes and the way he was treated, tension within the band, etc. Thought some people might find it interesting!

1943 -2001
When We Was Fab

George Harrison looks back at the days when he played lead guitar in The Beatles, the greatest rock and roll band the world has ever known.

Part 1

"So, you're a real loony too," laughs George Harrison, with that familiar droll, nasal Scouse (as they call it in Liverpool) accent. "Remember lying in ...
