The fallout about the Beatles being bigger than Elvis? Can't remember that one.<laugh>

Great days back then. People suddenly just by chance meetings establishing careers they had never thought about. Hecwascwithnthe Beatles for just six years yet 50 years later people want to read about it. It is difficult for those not about at the time just how big the Beatles were and how they and others changed things in such a short time. Compare the drab music, fashions and indeed general drabness of this country in 1962 and what it was like in 1966.

Think he meant, bigger than Jesus.
When it says he was only with them for six years it isn't surprising, they were only together themselves until 68.

I know who the comparison was to. Unlike the writer. The Beatles were together until 1970.
 
Former Megadeth drummer Nick Menza has died after collapsing on stage during a gig.
Sad news for me, was a big fan of them and Nicks drumming in their heyday, he wasn't a typical metal drummer being more jazz based. I remember the day I bought their classic album Rust in Peace on cassette and took it with me to Boothferry to watch City v Oldham, r.i.p to Nick.
