The Rocker cornerstones were bands like The Beetles and The Rolling Stones and their classic Mod contemporaries like The Who were very influential, possibly playing the biggest role in the formation of the Britton movement. Paul Weller who is praised as the founder and initiator of the Britton movement, because of his love of Mod music from the ass’s he has the nickname “The Moderator”. Weller has performed with the big Britton bands. Britton was seen very much as a movement against certain cultural and musical trends of the late eighties and early nineties, particularly the influx of American grunge sic.
Britton bands were heavily influenced by British rock movements of the past, drawing inspiration from a vast array of previous sub genres including glam rock and punk rock. The Beetles and The Kinks heavily influenced several bands, including Blur and Oasis. Britton was mainly popular as music of choice for the British working class. Britton was perhaps a misnomer since there’d been British pop since the 1 9505. But it became the shorthand term for the revival of music Influenced by both the ‘ass and punk that became very popular, for a brief while in the mid sass.
It marked the advent of “Cool Britannic,” an era where British culture enjoyed the same kind of international reputation it had in the sass when Swinging London was an emblem for everything cool. Although several bands fell under the greater banner of Britton, ultimately it became the province of the two bands, Blur and Oasis, who dominated the style. What really characterized these new bands was the sharpness in the songwriting, and the use of strong hooks and choruses to make each piece memorable.
There were echoes of the Beetles and the Stones in the rivalry that arose between Blur and Oasis. British Rock: Bruit rock evolved from the influence of American rock and roll in the 1 ass’s and dramatically changed the music scene in the I-J. Previous to the emergence of Bruit Rock people such as Cliff Richard and Elvis dominated the music scene with a very different sound from what was to appear. In 1 962 the real emergence of Bruit rock occurred in Liverpool with bands such as Brian Poole and the Tremolos and the legendary Beetles.
The massive success and popularity Of the Beetles showed the way in the new sound and in 1963. The Beetles went on to become one of the most successful and critically acclaimed bands in the history of Bruit rock and over the years have released more than forty different singles, and albums that have reached number one in the British charts. The Beetles: truly love the Beetles, but even am stumped when it comes to specifying a genre for them. When I look at my Pod it mixes them from Pop to Rock. They are their own thing.
In a book checked out from the library they are described as Mockers, a combination of mod (modernist) and rocker. On July 6, 1 957, John Lennox, the leader of a band called the Quarry Men, originally called the Black Jacks which he formed when he was 1 7 which mainly played kibble music, a mixture of folk, jazz, and blues which was popular in England at the time. He was introduced to Paul McCarty a 1 5-year-old self-taught left-handed guitar player (which is cool because so am I), through a mutual friend, at Walton Parish Church, where the Quarry Men were scheduled to perform.
Impressed by Pall’s ability to play and guitar and piano, Lennox soon asked McCarty to join the Quarry Men. Paul accepted. Shortly after he joined the group, he began to recommend an old school friend to John. John refused to even audition this friend because he was only 14. John finally paved, and on February 6, 1958 he auditioned George Harrison. The group went through several names. They adopted names such as the Johnny and the Moods, Long John and The Beetles, The Beat Brothers, Silver Beetles, The Beetles, and eventually The Beetles.
As well as several names, the band went through several members, such as Stuart Stifle (SST), the original bassist who left the band after he fell in love, and Pete Best, the original drummer who’s family owned a local cafe© where they played before he was canned for Ring (Richard Starr). In 1960, the Beetles went to Hamburg, Germany to play. Thinking they would get rich and famous but instead they found dirty clubs, long hours, and filthy living arrangements. They played through the night, and slept behind a movie screen in a theatre.
Throughout their stay in Germany they gained a lot of knowledge of performing but that is all they gained. Their stay in Germany ended abruptly when George (then 17) was deported for being under age. John Lennox: John Winston Lennox was born in Liverpool on October 9, 1940, the only child of Fred and Julia Lennox. His parents split when he was a toddler and his aunt, Mary Smith, raised him. He was still close to his mother who encouraged him to learn the banjo (he also learned to play the harmonica), later switching to guitar.
Unfortunately the long overdue relationship with his mother ended when tragedy struck, John was 17, when Julia was struck and killed by a car. In 1 963, John and his recently married to wife Cynthia had a son Julian. He later left Cynthia for Yoke Non (believed to be the main reason of the Beetles break up) The couple had a son, Sean, and John took a five-year break to raise him. John an Yoke were fighting the U. S government in court to avoid being deported because of their anti war acts. John Lennox was just outside of the entrance to his apartment building when Mark David Chapman called out “Mr.. Lennox! He set down his album he had gotten signed earlier that day by John Lennox, and fired five shots at Johns back. John collapsed on the wall and exclaimed “I’m shot’ Yoke called the police and he died on transit, The murder made no attempt to flee he just dropped his gun and began reading “Catcher in the Rye” (l absolutely hated this book in high school, and with good reason) This book was referred to as the handbooks for psychopaths on (http://whom.

In his early teens, shortly after the grief striking death of his mother due to breast cancer, PaPall’snterest in music became more prominent and he began making his first attempts at songwriting. George Harrison: George Harrison described as the bands quiet lead guitarist, was born February 25, 1943.

This is when Paul McMcCartytepped in, and offered his own place in Beverly Hills. It was 36 hours of George drifting in and out of consciousness, with his wife and son at his side.
