Big kudos to Sullivan and the CBS-TV sound staff, but then numerous musical guests on that show enjoyed the same quality sound, all things considered.

Fantastic, thanks Keith for clearing that up, amazing guys, all of you,..

On the one hand, I totally get what he's saying. On the other, I love the way the early Beatles' stuff sounds. You also have to realize that he and George are guitar players and, like all musicians, want their sound front and center in the mix. I thought the early sound allowed all the instruments to equally shine, and especially put the vocals out front which we know the Beatles were famous for their harmonies. Also, I think George Martin let the individual instruments stand out at different points in the song (bass run, guitar lead, etc.). You also have to consider the types of guitars and pickups and amps used. So it's not just a producer/engineer decision. BTW, love the early Stones' stuff too.

Interesting point by Keef and have wondered myself about the simple, sometimes underwhelming sound of early Beatle guitar. But take into account the time and the strength of the early Beatles vocals and harmonies. George Martin, no doubt saw this, along with the song writing of L-M, as the most dynamic and powerful force of the group and was right to highlight. The potential sound capabilities of the electric guitar was still in its infancy so no fault of Martin to not pay more attention or perhaps even recognize the possibilities or let become the centerpiece of any tune. No diss on the great Stones but even with a great front man like Jagger, vocals and harmonies are not what they're known for. The Beatles vocals as a contribution to their success and influence on other artists speaks for itself.

Nothing exceptional and not anything worthy of praise as it was always usually anti good in it's no good Stones style. Bad boy style does not float every-ones boat. Richards has plenty early sixties Stones rubbish to dish if he needs to dish successfull artists who at one time held all 6 positions of the music charts.

long, long, long by George is one of my favorite Beatles songs

Hahahaaa Keith is awesome! Such a kind guy and speaks so positively of George, and ends with "the good die young", such an ode to himself, what is Keith? 143? Doesn't look a day over 40!

He will, but there aren't enough statistics for someone like him ;-).......

George had his own style that perfectly fit with The Beatles music. George guitar's work was influenced by country and western and rock & roll. Listen to his first good solos as "Can't buy me love" or "All my loving" or all his arpeggios in first part of The Beatles career. You can hear that in Beatles music there was no space for ad lib guitar improvisations. George and the other Beatles weren't part of British Blues revival. John himself wrote "Yer Blues" as a sort of mockery, a joke about Blues Revival. The best English guitar players came from blues revival: Beck, Clapton, Alvin Lee etc. The Beatles opened an era and soon after the players improved a lot. Keith was a good riff player and the Stones, thanks to Brian Jones too invented the "weaving sound" that sounded very good. Keith himself has never been as good as good as Jeff Beck or Clapton and honestly I don't think he was better than George.

Keith was just speaking as a musician on their earlier tunes especially the big hits pre Rubber Soul, the guitars werent up in the mix, considering that George was pretty good and John was always a fantastic rhythm player. A few songs the guitars were up but a lot of em just focused on the vocals and harmonies that were brilliant. I'm a serious Beatle head from 69 on up so it aint like i dislike them. Love the Beatles and Stones.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Stones and they are the greatest rock and roll band of all time, but the GREATEST band of all time was the Fab 4. As good as the Stones records were, they never really had an album as good as Revolver or Sgt. Pepper.

Your title makes it sound as if it is a criticism and it is not. So what is he talking about, the first couple of Albums maybe. The Beatles as a group and George as an individual were constantly learning and growing their musical skills. So the "thin sound" is not quite correct and the Stones sounded a lot different for their first couple of albums too.

He's expressing his fondness about his mate and no doubt George would say the same. Stop bickering now..c'mon...I'm sure it's hard to talk about him knowing he's gone.
