Soundtrack Sergant Pepper's lonely hearts club band

Купил сёдня в серии "Домашняя коллекция" 5 сидюков Би Джис.Так там есть этот занятный альбом с 24 каверами битлов.Довольно любопытный альбом,мне понравилось-а конкретно Элис Купер,Аэросмит(если не ошибаюсь) и ещё несколько исполнителей(имён не запомнил).

А Можно поконкретнее какой из этих дисков по номеру с каверами битлз ?
Увидел по ящику клин Би Джис "alone"-очень понравилось :)

Би Джиз, особенно в начале своей карьеры, явно равнялись на Битлз, водили с ними приятельство, киряли вместе и вообще. Первый диск вообще пробитлован насквозь. И видимо, пронесли эту любовь - ну, по крайней мере, до 1978 года, когда сами уже были суперзвёздами в полный рост и сняли этот фильм. Он считается не слишком удачным, но каверы послушать действительно интересно.

пЕСКАРь: а что такое кирять?

Это жаргонизм такой, означает "злоупотреблять спиртными напитками". Так, Морис Гибб вспоминал, что именно с подачи Джона Леннона его любимым спиртным напитком стал т.н. "битл-дринк", а именно виски с кокой (точную пропорцию не помню). На момент их знакомства Мо было лет 17, не больше, а впереди у него был запойный алкоголизм, но в конце концов всё кончилось хорошо.

Спасибо!

Да кстати мне еще очень интересно как переводится название группы ? "Bee"-это пчела , а что такое "gees " ?
Искал в нескольких словарях и не нашел

В этом мюзикле и Купер хорошо спел и Аэросмит.

По винилу еще помню - такой красочный двойник с этими тремя чертями и Питером Фрэмптоном (кто сейчас такого помнит?)

Леобакс

Би и Джи - это буквы анлийского алфавита, означающие инициалы музыкантов, а пропорции битл-дринка, по-моему, 50 на 50

Bee Gees = BGs, т.е. "братья Гибб" сокращенно.

Forwarded from Alice Cooper: Интервью Элиса Купера о создании фильма Sgt. Pepper
-----------------


Interview with Alice on the making of Sgt. Pepper

Not all the participants in the Sgt. Pepper movie are unwilling to talk about the experience. Alice Cooper, about to embark on a tour, was gracious enough to answer our e-mail of infrequently asked questions (that's IFAQ in e-mailese) concerning his involvement in this historically bad film.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


New Times: How many days of shooting were involved for your part as Father Sun?

Alice: It was a three-day shoot including time to record the track. The crazy thing about it was that I was in the hospital at the time undergoing treatment for alcoholism. They arranged for a three-day pass for me to leave the hospital to do the filming.

NT: Were there other people supposedly involved with the project before you agreed to do it that pulled out before cameras rolled?

Alice: Not that I ever heard.

NT: Did anyone working with you on the film or the set voice the opinion that this movie was going to be a bomb?

Alice: Not at all. Robert Stigwood was coming off the success of Saturday Night Fever, and the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton were huge.

NT: Were there too many drugs on the set to make such an assertion?

Alice: Again, I was becoming clean and sober at that time, so I wouldn't have known.

NT: Were there more drugs on the set of Sextette?

Alice: Now that movie, I was very drunk for that.

NT: Did you feel it would be a bomb?

Alice: No.

NT: Was the mustache you sport in the film a pre-emptive strike at damage control?

Alice: They wouldn't let me have razor blades in the hospital. Too many crazy people running around.

NT: Did you attend the premiere in New York City?

Alice: Yes. The Beatles were suspiciously absent!

NT: Do you believe that business about a Sgt. Pepper curse and that everyone's chart success was immediately impacted by it, even George Burns' film career?

Alice: I had a hit single the year after.

NT: Do you feel bad that there isn't a 20th-year re-release of the film, a la Grease, and if there was, would you go to that premiere?

Alice: Who even knew that it was 20 years besides you!!!

NT: Was Pepper a worse film than the Village People's Can't Stop the Music?

Alice: Who even knew that there was a Village People movie besides you!!!

NT: Could a cast of dancing and singing midgets have saved Pepper from disaster?

Alice: Maybe Steven Spielberg could have pulled it off.

NT: Did the experience of the movie affect your enjoyment of Beatle music?

Alice: That could never happen.

NT: Was George Martin a sympathetic producer?

Alice: He was great. When I did the first take of the song, I did it in my best John Lennon impersonation. George said it was fine, but then told me to do it like Alice Cooper would do it. He seemed really happy with it.

NT: Whenever the Alice Cooper box set comes out, will "Because" be on it?

Alice: Yes.
