The Beatles: 15 Things You Didn’t Know (Part 1)
If you don’t know any other band, you still probably know The Beatles. The Beatles remain one of the most relevant English rock bands of all time, and though not all members are still alive, it will be a long time before they’re forgotten. Despite the fact that The Beatles spent a considerable amount of time in the spotlight and under the scrutiny of the public eye, there are still some things that many people don’t know. With that in mind, here we present our list of 15 things you probably didn’t know about The Beatles. Check out part one below, and stay tuned for part two, coming soon!
Number Fifteen: Before They Were The Beatles, They Were The Quarry Men. John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison made a record in 1958 under the moniker of The Quarry Men. The record only cost them 17 and sixpence to create.
Number Fourteen: The Beatles Didn’t Come Up With Their Own Name. In fact, Stuart Sutcliffe was the one who came up with the name “The Beatals.” Sutcliffe was a friend of Lennon’s from art school.
Number Thirteen: They Didn’t Use Fender Guitars Until 1965. In an effort to distance themselves from fellow rock band The Shadows, The Beatles refused to use Fender guitars until 1965, when they were already established.
