Master of voices Beatles McCartney Lennon Elvis Bowie Jeff lynne

Hey people several months ago, let's say 6 or so I was listening to Beatle vids on Youtube. I ran across a few vids from someone named, Steve Riks. I first heard him do, a Paul McCartney song. Than a John Lennon song. I didn't realize he was one in the same person?! His voice is amazing. He covers so many artists. He covers all the Beatle's individually.

I than watched some parodies of Ringo, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Freddie Mercury, Barry Gibb, Neil Young, all done by Steve. The jeff Lynne spot, I will post during the holidays. It is hillarious. Dig, the British humor. I laughed my ass off. His mannerisms of Macca & others are spot on.

To top it off, Steve. is from Liverpool. Fast forward to September 09 last weekend while watching Steve's vids-I read: "Steve had been banned from Youtube" What a bunch of crap. Say what ~ Banned?! They're not serious are they? Get a grip Youtube!

Millions of people remake songs, cover songs, cover bands etc. WTF? this guy is a genius. A comedian, impressionist, vocalist-you name it. His vocal range is amazing. Youtube needs to allow Steve to come back. This is bogus, stating copy right violations? Better Ban half the videos & people on youtube than, Youtube.
I spent hours last week watching Steve's vids I would be flattered if I was the artist being parodied. I laughed, watched and listened to them over and over. This guy is the real deal :) I love him!

Check out some of his vocal talent in these vids below amazing. See for yourself.

Please stumble or Digg to get the word out about Steve. Tell your friends & their friends and so on & so on. Feel free to leave a comment or two. What's with this Youtube banning business?

Coldplays Violet Hill inspired by The Beatles
from GigWise

 Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has revealed that the band's recent single 'Violet Hill' was inspired by the Beatles.
The singer said the song was named after a road in London that joins Abbey Road - a street which has now become synonymous with The Beatles

"'Violet Hill' is a street and it joins Abbey Road - so it's kind of a Beatles reference,” Martin told the BBC.
The singer added he didn't think he had revealed the songs inspiration “in public” before.



Violet Hill-Coldplay

OK, so If Violet Hill was inspired by the Beatles, than, why didn't Coldplay, film a vid around London's Abbey Road, Violet Hill; and other London spots? It could have been brilliant, actually it would have been brilliant.

(come to think of it I'm not recalling any videos filmed around Abbey Road?)

Coldplay could have kept their military garb as seen in video. (liked that bit) Great song tho, however this vid is slightly weak for me..I was expecting something else from Coldplay, when I first watched..comments?

Have you seen Polythene Pam lately?

Have you seen Polythene Pam lately?

I haven't but I know her Aunt a lovely English women named Barbara. Somehow I always manage to bring up the Beatles or Paul McCartney in conversations. This past week I bumped into Barbara and she had mentioned the Beatles. You know they sang a song about my niece her name is Diane, something bout "She came in thru the bathroom window?" I said "No way!" you mean the song Polythene Pam off the album Abbey Road?

Barbabra, I'm not sure which album., I sang her a few bars, she laughed "yes that's the one "

Oh my god I said she is part of history I've always wondered since I was a kid who Pam was? hehehehe now I do. So Barbara brought me The Daily Mail weekend insert from 1994 and there in black in white, was Pam- Diane, she claimed she saw The Beatles 560 times from 14-17 years old she kept a tally in her diary. One time Paul's car broke down and Diane & her two friends pushed it.

Right before Paul had married Linda- Paul was away for a couple weeks the girls were bored and went to Paul's house went into a garden had found a ladder climbed in thru a bathroom window and fell into the sink. Paul's dogs were barking at her maddly so she went downstairs and let her mates in thru the front door, hehehehehe. Diane went thru the linen basket and got some dirty shirts that smelt of Paul! One for her and her two friends.( oh man, thats wild!)

The next time Paul saw them he said

"How would you feel if you went thru your wardrobe and didn't have a shirt to wear?" Paul never pressed charges.

Diane is married has 4 children & currently living in Spain she and her husband now run a nightclub. Barbara said she was going to write her niece and tell her about my blog and I would be writing about her. What a fantastic story and to be so close to Paul McCartney & The other Beatles amazing! So Diane (Polythene Pam) If you happen to read this lil snippet please leave us a message how incredible and beautifully funny memories for you!

Recorded in Studio 2 at Abbey Road March 1-2 1967 an idea by John Lennon's son Julian who had brought home a painting from school of a class mate Lucy O'Donell, Julian had said it was a piccie of Lucy, "Lucy in the sky with diamonds". This gave John the inspiration to write the song. There was speculation that the the song initials LSD was about drugs, dunno I wasn't there when John Lenoon wrote it, hehehe, here is an Brillant video from the movie Yellow Submarine
