I've always thought that the fact of 5th October 1962, the first Bond movie Dr.No was released. Which we all know was a great milestone in the way of making films. It did change the movie industry forever and it kicked of the longest and most popular movie franchise through alltime.
But at same very date, 5th October 1962, The Beatles first single Love Me Do was released. Isn't that a coincidence that the biggest movie franchise and the biggest Band and in terms of sales and inspiration to the music franchise was released at the same date?
I found that very intresting actually!

So you drink wrong temperated Dom Perignon too? ;))
Yes and red wine with fish, old man.
Ofcourse, SPECTRE!
Whys that mate?
Never been much of a Fab Four admirer, they did some very good tracks like Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Eleanor Rigby and Penny Lane but all said I was more into Hermans Hermits or Thunderclap Newman back in the day even though they weren't that well recognized
Incidentally the Cuban Missle Crisis started about the same time as the release of Doctor No but I'm guessing that had nothing to do with James Bond..
I heard this too I feel it would be a travesty aha
Because he's a philistine, clearly... :p
This would be a real neat idea, actually.
Here's the link http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/apr/04/beatles-next-generation-possibility-mccartney?newsfeed=true
James McCartney,Dhani Harrison, Sean Lennon and maybe Zack. If not Zack, his brother Jason, who is also a drummer.
Dhani did a nice job with Jeff Lynne, putting the finishing touches on George's last album.
Haha of course :-))
If there were to be an album, that too could be produced by George Martin's son Giles, who did the lion's share of producing on the Cirque du Soleil Love show (featuring Beatles music) and its subsequent album.
Seriously though, the whole idea screams more a gimmick than a genuinely good idea. There's repeated rumours that Macca and Ringo may reunite on-stage in some form for one of the ceremonies at the London Olympics, however. That wouldn't be a bad idea, methinks - especially if you were to rope in their old mate Eric Clapton at the same time... :)
"My dear girl there are some things that just aren't done, such as drinking Dom Pérignon '53 above a temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That's as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs!"
A Macca Ringo re-union would be great. I don't know why these two can't re-unite for one tour. I know they would be hesitant to call it a Beatles tour, but they could call it anything they want. Ringo tours constantly. He's through these parts every summer and Paul has always been up to touring, but they both always seem to have their own things going on, so setting their solo stuff aside might be the hitch. Maybe a short 20 date tour with a big blu-ray release, and then we're all happy. And yes Clapton would be ideal. He and George were collaborators. He'd be the perfect lead guitar. Throw in any old good rythm guitarist and a keyboard player and off you go. I would ask Clapton though to stay bg, as much as that could be possible, and let Paul and Ringo hog the spotlight, to maintain the Beatles feel. But the sooner the better. These guys aren't getting any younger.
Anyone that listens to thier music by choice, has my pitty. It's different when you're being tortured by it.

I respect The Beatles and their influence on music, but I do not think they are necessarily the "best band ever". It is great that Bond and The Beatles share an anniversary, and that they joined forces in 73'.
I agree 100%. Some one like me who read Fleming's novels in the late 1950s before DN was filmed, and graduated from the university in early 1960s when Beatles had such fame, such influence on us in the universities, both -Bond and the Beatles were special to me.
10,000 years from now, students throughout the known galaxy, will continue to be schooled in the timeless cultural influence of both Bond and the Beatles. Sean, John, Paul, George and Ringo will be revered as monumental historical figures.
And to think, 3 of them still walk very much among us. Awesome.
Epic post! +1
From what I recall, they had their own method of writing and I bet there must be at least a couple of authors that can't write in the conventional sense either.
So what do you feel about those musicians that "play by ear".
Music is going backwards for me…
