John Lennon's guitar intro for Revolution was taken directly from this. People like you need to grow up. Lennon confessed NUMEROUS times to taking bits from other songs. Lennon himself pointed out that the opening to Richard Barrett's song Some Other Guy sounds like the opening to Instant Karma, or rather the other way around.

@@erikkillmonger5624 Obviously you don't have an ear for music and you don't hear the change. Grow up? I'll be 74 in July and I have been playing guitar for decades. RACIST!!!

@@JimDeferio BOTH songs open with that solo guitar riff. It's not a coincidence. Yes, there is a slight difference but it's quite OBVIOUS that Lennon took his opening for Revolution from this song just like he took the opening to Instant Karma, BY HIS OWN ADMISSION, from Some Other Guy. Just like he took the lick for I Feel Fine, BY HIS OWN ADMISSION, from Bobby Parker's Watch Your Step. GROW. UP. Nothing "racist" about acknowledging the truth: the Beatles loved Black music and took from it. Sorry if that shakes your infantile (regardless of being a septuagenarian), pathetic hero worshipping view of the Beatles. Fuck you, you in-denial moron.

@@JimDeferio BOTH songs begin with the same solo guitar riff and the same drum punctuation. Of course there's a SLIGHT difference but it's OBVIOUS that Lennon took the idea, sound and riff for his intro to Revolution from this song. Just like he took the intro for Instant Karma, BY HIS OWN ADMISSION, from Richard Barrett's Some Other Guy. Just like he took the lick for I Feel Fine, BY HIS OWN ADMISSION, from Bobby Parker's Watch Your Step. It's not "racist" to acknowledge the plain truth: the Beatles loved Black music and were directly influenced by it and took directly from it. Sorry if this explodes your pathetic, infantile (despite being a septuagenarian), in-denial hero-worship of the Beatles. GROW. UP.

@@erikkillmonger5624 Racist like you love to level charges of wrong doing against white people but how about indicting Chuck Berry for his blatant thefts? Berry copied that "riff" but there is nothing but crickets from you. Berry outright stole songs from Johnnie Johnson, a black pianist, but what is theft from another black, right? Listen to "Roll Over Beethoven", for just one example, and tell me if that is a guitar song or a piano song! Johnson was going to sue Berry but time ran out. And just where did Berry get that country sound from??? How about Jimi Hendrix? Paul McCartney did a blistering psychedelic guitar bridge on "Taxman" and George used the 7#9 chord over and over on that song (released August 1966) and with this and Eric Clapton's guitar bridge/solo on Cream''s cover of "Spoonful" (released Dec. 1966), Hendrix steals their sound and chords and even uses some of the same triplets on "Purple Haze" that McCartney used on "Taxman"! And as if the theft wasn't complete, the 7#9 chord is now called the "Hendrix chord" even though The Beatles used it prior to 1966, black jazz musicians used it in the 1950's and Classical composers used it centuries ago. How about all of the Celtic music that gave birth to the American blues. Trace, "O Death", for just one example, back and see what you find.
