But this particular song is a bit pretentious if you ask me. And it’s further proof that the Stones are the better rock band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry that Ringo didn't kick over his drum set on Eleanor Rigby a la Keith Moon, is that what you were looking for? I like Eleanor Rigby for what it is, but I don't consider it a rock song. I can't even classify it as pop or folk. I'm not sure it belongs in any category. The score was written by George Martin and played by an 8 piece string ensemble. None of the Beatles played any instruments on the song. They'd done something similar with Yesterday years earlier. Both songs are sad, melancholy, reflective, whatever you wanna call it.

This actually was the result of a much better, but aborted, plan. The original plan was to perform it as a duet for Live Aid. With Bowie performing at Wembley and Jagger at JFK in Philly. Once they realized the satellite link-up would cause a nearly one second delay, they determined it would not be possible to do. While both artists were willing to do it live, neither was willing to prerecord and fake doing their part live. So they agreed to do it in the studio and make a video that premiered internationally during the Live Aid concert. But yes, I agree that this is rather 'silly' for two rock n roll icons like Jagger and Bowie. But the original intent was good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
