Helter skelter song is about peace12/28/2022 ![]() Right at the part where it fades back in with the out of tune horns and droning guitar chords…it just sounds….eerie and evil. I always thought it was ironic since, despite having nothing to do with murdering anyone or ill-intent, Helter Skelter still sounds like the soundtrack to a murder spree at the end. Despite the bevy of covers over the decades by other harder bands (Motley Crue for and Aerosmith for instance) NO ONE has even come close to topping the original. Not one of the best songs they ever wrote, but far and away the heaviest and loudest and most intense. I’ll stop there - I admit that’s already more than weird enough, and apologize if anyone finds it upsetting. The ghost hunters of “TAPS” recently paid a visit to the site of the murders, and filmed evidence of supposed contact with the spirits of one or more murdered victims. Modern audiences probably don’t realize that Roman Polanski, much in the news of late, was Sharon Tate’s husband, and escaped being butchered himself by his absence, although he presumably lost an unborn child in the attack. Gone are the devilish squeals seeming to emanate straight out of hell, and the awful taint of the Tate-LaBianca murders. Today “Helter Skelter” just seems like a great “hard rock” tune and precursor to “heavy metal,” especially watered down, as it has been, by minimalist bands like Motley Crue or U2. Like most of the White Album, this was parody, from an era when smashing guitars during a concert, or lighting them on fire (like Hendrix) was standard fare.Īs with much of the Beatles’ subtler commentary, it’s meaning has been lost on subsequent generations of listeners. Anyway, I guess I’ve bored you all to pieces! So thank you for letting me have my opinion and Goodbye… I loved everyone who sang on those songs. Krishna sort of went against my Christianity. I wore out 4 cassette tapes of John’s last one. My brother had the White Album, and I had already formed my opinion about it, before Manson. ![]() I didn’t dislike any of the Beatles music, but only owned, Magical Mystery Tour’, and Sgt Pepper’s’. I loved his last album(forgive me, I had a stroke, & can’t think of it’s name), especially the song ‘Starting Over’. I didn’t even mind Yoko Ono’s squeaky little voice singing background. I love your thoughts on the song! I’ve been around for 62 and 3/4 years, I’ve listened to the Beatles, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Start. ![]()
