How Long Have You Loved The Beatles

[D-Smoov45]

I just wanted to get a rough gauge of how long everyone's been a fan.

I've been a fan for 9 years...since the re-release of A Hard Day's Night in theatres.

None of my friends or family are extreme Beatles fans, so I didn't get into them until I saw the game at E3. I just can't thank HMX enough for introducing me to the greatest band of all time.

I'm 51 years old and have loved the Beatles since I first heard them as a kid. I actually think I have the awful cartoon show to thank for getting me hooked. :)

Since it was announced i started getting into the Beatles, only about 4 or 5 songs. Then saw Across the Universe while i was channel surfing, i was like, i dont know any of these songs but i know they were by the Beatles. Revolution was the song that i got hooked on, though i realize now that the cover is really bad compared to the original.

Havnt really actively listened to other bands for about 6 months. Which is strange since before, i was always looking for new bands but The Beatles just have so many styles that satisfy me.

i remember listening to Beatles records when I was little, but i didn't really get into them until a few years ago.

[californication]

Pretty much since I was little, probably around 15 years.

Started to loved The Beatles in 2003, I was 12. Now I'm 18 now and I still love them more than ever.

[Askarathol]

My first memory was my dad singing Strawberry Fields forever to me. lol

[hannie3000]

Hmm, 8 years for me, I think.
It started with when I found my mom's Beatles album collection in a box under her bed. "I Will" on the white album was the first song that got me completely hooked.

The night I saw their 1st appearance on The Ed Sullivan show. They just blew this 13 year old away. :D

Had plenty of interest in all kinds of other bands over the years, but never lost my interest in The Beatles.

I've loved the Beatles since I was a kid. I remember watching the Anthology videos, the movies, and listening to the albums on cassette tapes in the car.

Well, a few years ago, my brother played bass in a tribute to the rooftop concert. I was sat behind the drummer, and at one point, he dropped his stick, and I went out and got it for him.

I remember brushing against the guy playing John, with his fur coat, and all this awesome music around me. It was a bit embarassing at the time, but it's just amazing to think of now.

I didn't know much about the Beatles, but I knew I liked the music. I really liked Get Back and Let it Be, because my brother was always playing the album.

It was quite recently that I started getting properly into the Beatles, but I really have to thank my brother, for introducing me to them in the first place.

[SgtBarone]

All my life. My dad plays all their songs on guitar and I'd listen to Beatles CD's all my life. Now I have many of their albums on vinyl by going to record shops and flea markets and so on.

[yayrockband]

Since I was a kid. My mum liked them and I heard Past Masters Vol. 1 a lot back then.

[Lord_Mhoram]

I grew up on them. Born in '67. Parents had most of the albums. When I was old enough to have my own record collection, one of the first albums I "borrowed" from my parents (and never gave back) was Revolver.

They totally blew away this 15 year old too!

They were a very big part of my high school and college music.

[justin19954]

Been a fan for 4 years. :D

[Daytripped]

**** guys sorry, I'm the one that wrote the last dumb option. I pressed it as a joke and I clicked on the first option, and I guess I missed the little circle and posted my choice.

MY LIFE HAS NO MEANING FOR DOING THAT MISTAKE!

[Rod_Stixx]

Around 40 years or so for me. Still love listening to 'em as much now as I did then.

[DMSweenz30]

7 years, I'm 16 now.

[onidragon]

My mom bought 1 to play in the car during a trip, and I fell in love with it, particularly Yellow Submarine, Hey Jude, Ballad of John+Yoko, and Lady Madonna. For my birthday that year, I had heard Sgt. Pepper was a good Beatles album, so I asked for that and got it. That was when I was eight, sooooo....Eight years? One of my earliest memories was of me dancing at age 5 to Love Me Do, so I put 10-20 years.

[chrisbtoo]

It's funny that the longest option is 21+ years, for a band that formed almost 50 years ago.

My mum was a fan (of the screaming, teenage variety) so I grew up with their music. Can't say I ever really "loved" it though. Having said that, when I first played the game, I was amazed by how many songs I knew really well and how many I don't think I'd ever heard before.

Also, my first post - hi all.

[blkninja1961]

I remember buying my 1st Beatles album from the store GEM in Toronto, Canada. I think it was Sgt Pepper in '67 or '68. It was scratched and I changed it for Help (they didn't have any more Pepper). I've been a fan ever since.

[Gigli78]

A kid in my grade 11 music class was an absolute fanatic (he even grew his hair and changed his glasses to look like Lennon), but I had never heard anything that had been produced after "I Wanna Hold Your Hand," so I said "sure, I'll have a listen to some of their other stuff." I then became a fanatic. I was 15 then, I'm 30 now.

When I was about seven years old, I used to be left alone sometimes because my mom was a single mother and was a nurse and sometimes got called in to the hospital and couldn't find a babysitter.

I remember back then I used to hide in my bedroom under the covers, with an old AM transistor radio. to keep me company. It was 1970, and "Let it Be" by the Beatles was a big hit, and came on the radio pretty much every night. God, I loved when that song came on. It was comforting and soothing, and made me feel better every time I heard it.

The Beatles became my favorite band then, and they still are.

[QwertyMcUiop1963]

Since June, I think.

[Hobotivo]

Since 1 June 1967. That was the day SPLHCB was released and I heard it at midnight on that day. I quite liked them from the beginning but that was when I really became a huge lifelong fan.

[MarkItFab]

Well over 21 years now.

[Max2323232]

I started to love them in 2006, when I was 11. I Am The Walrus was introduced to me by a friend, and that is what started it all. I had heard them many times before, but hearing Magical Mystery Tour (the album) for the first time is what made me a fan.
