Phumfeinz Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 A pretty hardcore Beatles fan, I don't really care for any parodies or other such stuff. Musical parodies in general piss me off anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 16, 2009 Author VT Supporter Share Posted September 16, 2009 Seriously, it's great. The reaction of the Fabs to it was a perfect paradigm of their personalities (how's that for alliteration?): John - didn't mind it, considered it all "part of the story" Ringo - thought it was fun in parts, but other parts made him sad George - absolutely loved it (and indeed appeared in it) Paul - went apeshit and threatened to sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an affectionate tribute, and uncannily accurate and enjoyable (Innes is a HUGE Beatles fan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hev Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I love the Rutles - have the Album and the DVD - some of the songs, as you say, are great. - oh yes, I admit, I too have taken tea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm shocked. And stunned. And shocked. Stunned and shocked. Did you get the second album ("Archaeology")? Not as good as the first, but essential for completists!

Hev Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi Mike, No I didn't know there was a second album . Do you remember Rutland Weekend Television - which was where the concept of the Rutles began I think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hev Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 It was after the end of Monty Python and it had Eric Idle and Neil Innes and some others . Only lasted one , maybe two series I think but it was funny and The Rutles, (I think) first appeared on there. It was around the same sort of time as Palin's Ripping Yarns - but that's spinning off the topic I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
