you’re at a bar where a trio is playing a jazzy version of Can’t Buy Me Love the bass player is right-handed playing a conventional bass, and you wonder how he can play that thing upside down. Aren’t all bass players left-handed?a-hard-days-night-paul-7

It’s where you play Beatles Rock Band with Rickenbacker guitars. Paul’s Rick bass, John’s Rick 325(?), George’s Rick 12-string.

If there ever is a band where all of the members are called Richard, they should call themselves ‘The Rich Dicks’.

 

I’d find it amusing anyways >.>

This band-naming phenomenon is contagious! It is spreading all across the Forum.

…When, as @Bongo said, you can binge-listen to hours of Beatles music on end and not get tired of it. Other people ask you, ‘Haven’t you been playing that for (insert number here) hours? Aren’t you tired of Beatles Beatles Beatles?’ and you respond, ‘What?’

Cause that’s how we (let it) roll a-hard-days-night-george-4

Is it bad that I read the “the situation” part just like in the song, but then magically became French at the “a lá George” part so it sounded like “a lá Joj” a-hard-days-night-paul-4

You know you’re a hardcore Beatles fan when… you call someone out because they incorrectly referred to Revolution 9 as a song. a-hard-days-night-john-3

MeanMrsMustard said a Long, Long, Long time ago 

You know you’re a hardcore Beatles fan when you know the words to the Beatles songs you don’t like. 

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 Yep. 

And when you sing along with the Beatles songs you don’t like so often that you start to like them because it is, after all, the ruddy bleedin’ Beatles. 

And when you determinedly find something positive to say about every. Single. Song. Even Hold Me Tight (it has really great falsetto in it! Okay, that was a bit of a stretch, but I managed it.) 

And when you have all the release dates of all the albums and a few of the big singles, too, noted on your calendar.
