How The Beatles Changed Rock Music

Rock music consists of many individual styles. Even though

there is a
common spirit among all music groups, all music made by them are very
different.
Rock music evolved in the 1950s and the early 1960s. At that time that
Beatles
entered the world of music from Liverpool. Rock music was a large
piece of the
centerpiece of a largely rebellious group of young people. Before the
era of
the Beatles, Elvis Presley first took Rock ‘n' Roll to the public.
Elvis
blended the black and white music influence to create this style of
Rock ‘n'
Roll. He commanded a large group of faithful fans. Elvis was the only
singer
who was able to rival the Beatles. Even so, the Beatles admired his
music and
were greatly influenced by him. The Beatles were pace setters. Their
ensemble
were supplemented with solo guitar, rhythm guitar, bass guitar, drums,
sitar,
and violins. They took advantage of the creative possibilities
afforded by the
multiple track tape recording. They made rock music into music that
were
produceable in studios but were not possible to produce in live
performances.
They were the "Greatest show on Earth." They were the biggest
concert
draws on Earth. Their music and lyrics changed the lives of a
generation and
the generation that followed. Rock ‘n' roll was a mixture of blues and
country.
Its rhythm seemed to have an amazing power over young people that
couldn't be
understood by anyone born before 1940. John Lennon joined Paul
McCartney, Pete
Best, and George Harrison to form the hottest group that was around at
that time.
Their first hit music was the very well known song My Bonnie.
In 1962, Ringo Starr replaced Pete Best as the drummer and
joined the
group on continuing their wonderful future. The sum of four talents
had come
together and critical mass has been achieved when the Epstein published
their
tape.
Their second single received much more attention from the public
and
they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC. The Beatles moved
quickly
to expand their national exposure in Britain with a pair of back to back
nationwide tours. By mid 1963, the Beatles had reached nationwide
stardom in
England. Even the hairstyle of them became major trends at that time.
They
held large concerts and performed at clubs. They became the hottest
things on
the pop music scene in England.
They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the
year as
show business legends. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named
composers of
the year. They decided on a tour to United States in 1964 without
knowing how
the Americans would react to the new type of music. Beatlemania hit
New York on
February 7, 1964. Hundreds of people jammed at the airport. They
performed
their first concert in America at CBS television's 53rd street studio.
The
concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience
in the
history of television up to that time. The Beatles were described as a
British
invasion by local and nationwide newspaper at that time. Their
conquest of
America was still remembered as a major turning point in the history of
rock ‘n'
roll. Thanks to the Beatles, a large amount of opportunities were
opened up to
new faces on the market. Many rock bands were able to follow in the
footsteps
of the Beatles.
Once the Beatles opened up the market in the United States, this
led to
further "invasions" of other British rock groups such as the Kinks and
the
Rolling Stones. The 1960s rock scene has begun in February of 1964
when Bob
Dylan first met the Beatles. After that day, nothing in the music
world would
ever be the same.
