Still Waters Posted April 4, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2012 It is 42 years since the world’s most famous band broke up, following an acrimonious split between former best friends Paul McCartney and John Lennon.Now, however, Sir Paul’s only son James has revealed a new group featuring the offspring of the Fab Four could become a reality. James – who was last night due to follow in The Beatles’ footsteps by playing the Cavern Club in Liverpool – has revealed he would be keen to form a ‘next generation’ Beatles with the sons of the other band members.

+OverSword Posted April 4, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) That could be....interesting. I'll reserve judgement, with the exception of saying that for the son of a Beatle, James McCartney has a rather unfortunate hairline Edited April 4, 2012 by OverSword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffSplitkins Posted April 4, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I don't think Sean is exactly a good choice for John's offspring talent. I would prefer to see Julian much more since he sounds and looks much more like his father. However, since Julian doesn't like being associated with his father's fame, that would explain Sean being the logical choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffSplitkins Posted April 4, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Ditto.Julian is far more talented. I saw this on Facebook last night,and said....noooo way. I am friends with Julian on Facebook and he made no mention of this and probably for good reason. I did hear a rumor somewhere that Paul, Ringo, George's Son and Julian might perform somewhere. Now THAT would be a show I would pay to see. Ah, found a link - Olympics - Julian has made no mention of this either on Facebook. This is definitely not the first time something like this has been attempted. Joe Bonamassa was in a band when he first started out called 'Bloodline'. That project was very short lived. I am very good friends with the keyboard player from that band and he told me that there were just far too many personality conflicts in that band. I would imagine the same would happen if the 'Sons of the Beatles' were to actually happen as well. Bad legacy vibes from family members could turn the band into a Hatfield vs. McCoy situation.

Yeah Biff, there's also the fact that Julian is a bit older than the other guys, Sean is more in the age range. Isn't it interesting thathe likes Yoko, and says she reminds him of Linda? I guess she's just easy to hate from a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sean actually does get this project rolling I wonder how much influence/destruction SHE will have that project too. To be honest though, John saw something in Yoko that made him love her, so she must not be all that bad. I certainly hope he didn't marry her just for her singing ability. LOL.

orangepeaceful79 Posted April 4, 2012 #9 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I think that if the idea ever gets off the ground it won't stay in the air for long. People will want to love it, but it will inevitably suck. People (like the Beatles) make good music because of talent and chemistry, not because of their collective bloodlines.

Drapier Posted April 4, 2012 #10 Share Posted April 4, 2012 This could be like Star Trek: The Next Generation. They'll need to get Patrick Stewart for that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDesiato Posted April 10, 2012 #17 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I read a sic fi novel back in the 90's called "Ferman's Devils",and I'm pretty sure a small aside mentioned the Sons Of Beatles forming a group known as 'the SOBs'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
