THE BEATLES
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
The Beatles were a highly influential English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. The core lineup consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Their music, rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock 'n' roll, evolved to include elements of classical music, traditional pop, folk, Indian music, psychedelia, and hard rock. They revolutionized the music industry with their innovative recording, songwriting, and artistic presentation. "Beatlemania" marked the beginning of their massive popularity. The band's final studio album, Abbey Road, was released in 1969, with their last performance together in the studio in August of that year. Despite their break-up in 1970, the Beatles' music continues to have a significant impact.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
The Beatles' original name was The Quarrymen, a reference to their school song. The group was formed by John Lennon in 1956 with friends from Quarry Bank High School.
George Harrison was initially considered too young to join The Quarrymen. However, after persistent requests and a performance of "Raunchy" on a bus, he was enlisted as the lead guitarist.
The Beatles were contracted for a 3 ½-month residency in Hamburg, Germany, where the red light district was in full swing. The band's historian Mark Lewisohn noted that the flashing neon lights and scantily clad women were prominent in the area where they played.
Brian Epstein, a local record store owner and music columnist, discovered the Beatles at the Cavern Club. He was immediately impressed by their fresh sound and "star quality".
