I’ve wanted to make a general hypothetical/what if thread for a while now so here it is.

I’ll start off with the first hypothetical question.

How would things have been different if they met with the first lady in the Philippines?

Train A, carrying John Lennon , traveling 70 miles per hour (mph), leaves Westford heading toward Eastford, 260 miles away. At the same time Train B, carrying Paul McCartney and traveling 60 mph, leaves Eastford heading toward Westford. When do the two trains meet? How far from each city do they meet? Show your work.

I'm Necko.  I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.

I'm also ewe2 on weekends.

Most likely to post things that make you go hmm... 2015, 2016, 2017.

Not really, this would be more like Miscellaneous questions threads.

And that thread is a questions and answers thread.

I think this thread needs a good topic, would’ve The Beatles been successful if they kept Pete Best.

Maybe you should try posting more.

They might’ve been successful, but nowhere near as successful. 

In my worthless opinion, I think that Pete Best would have quit eventually if they’d never fired him. That could be a hypothetical question in and of itself.

A Hard Day’s Night and Tomorrow Never Knows would have different names.

A Hard Day’s Nights might not even exist.

What do you think would’ve happened if George quit the band and was replaced with Keith Richards during the Help ! sessions.

Maybe you should try posting more.

Would George then go to the rolling stones?

It’s hard to imagine because their styles are so different. George’s riffs and solos are heavily rockabilly-influenced with Carl Perkins and Chet Atkins as prominent inspiration, his leads are meticulously crafted, his sound generally very clean. Keith is more directly blues-influenced, with Chuck Berry as a primary forbearer. His leads are dirtier and feel more improvisational. At that point in the Beatles career, Keith would have had to adopt a more folk-rock sort of sound OR the Beatles would have to have changed direction.

Also, Brian Epstein almost certainly would have had an aneurysm.
