@@blazinchalice Don't get me wrong, I love Paul, but John's lyrics were in my opinion more impacting than McCartney's.

I wouldn't say that Helter Skelter was the first "true" heavy metal song. Have you heard of a guy named Jimi Hendrix??? The only reason Helter Skelter got more air play on AM stations in 1968 was that it was the Beatles.

I mean, Lennon's "Yer Blues" on the same White Album with it's rougher edged lyrics was more of a "true" heavy metal song than "Skelter" was in my opinion.

You have to remember that "heavy metal" was more of an underground kind of music back then & the Beatles popularity obviously helped push that song when other lesser artists didn't have the same clout at that time.

But there were quite a bit of bands already playing true "heavy metal" around 1968 that only certain college FM stations were playing.

It's such a blast seeing Paul as his young Beatle-self and looking exactly as he did in '64.
