The name was a tribute to Holly's band, The Crickets combined with beat music , a common British term for rock and roll at the time. In another tribute, they had sometimes called themselves the Foreverly Brothers. In the early days, the Beatles composed and rehearsed their songs at 20 Forthlin Road , Liverpool, the home of Paul McCartney , and now a National Trust property open to the public. On December 10 , , Brian Epstein agreed to become the band's manager, after receiving requests for the band's music two months earlier in his record store and watching them perform at the legendary Cavern Club.

Epstein arranged for the Beatles to audition for Decca Records on January 1 , Decca, in one of the most embarrassing business decisions in music history, rejected the band, on the grounds that guitar music was "on the way out". George Martin , who was at first unimpressed by the band's demos, fell in love with the band when he met them in person.

Not only did he feel as though they had musical talent, but he felt that their wit and humor made them extremely "likeable". He did have a problem with Best however, whom he criticized for not be able to keep time. The Beatles let Best go, and immediately asked Starr, whom they had met and even performed with previously, to join the band permanently. Martin, unaware of this personnel change, hired session drummer Andy White to play drums on the Beatles' first studio session on September 11 , The Beatlemania Years George Harrison The Beatles recorded their first full length album, live in the studio, on February 11 , in one 12 hour session.

Upon arriving at JFK airport , The Beatles noticed thousands of kids screaming and awaiting the plane's arrival. They assumed that there must have been someone important on the plane with them and were a bit shocked to learn that the crowds were actually there for them.

To this day it remains one of the highest rated television programs of all time, with 73 million people tuning in. The Beatles made four more live appearances on the show in months to come. On April 4 , , The Beatles set a record that has yet to be broken when they occupied all five top positions on Billboard 's Top Pop Singles chart. Their single "Can't Buy Me Love" was at number one.

They started filming their second film, Help! In the ensuing years, the Beatles met with psychedelic counterculture[? Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Since it was unusual for rock stars to receive the MBE, some previous recipients complained and protested, and a small number went so far as to return their own honours, complaining they had been "devalued". Some had received the award for military heroism. Lennon would return his own in with the note "Your Majesty, I am returning my MBE in protest against Britain's involvement in the Nigeria-Biafra thing, against our support of America in Vietnam and against "Cold Turkey" slipping down in the Charts.

It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me. Radio stations banned the group's recordings, and their albums and other products were burned and destroyed. On August 11 , Lennon held a press conference in Chicago in order to address the growing furor. I'm sorry I opened my mouth.

I'm not anti-God, anti-Christ, or anti-religion. I was not knocking it. I was not saying we are greater or better. The performance ignited a lot of protest from local citizens who felt that it was inappropriate for a rock and roll band to play at Budokan. By the end of July, the band headed to the Philippines for a series of shows. The Beatles, while relaxing in their hotel room, read in the newspaper that they would visit the Malacanang Palace[? This came as news to the Beatles, who were tired from the tour and didn't plan on using their one day off to visit the President.

They spent a relaxing evening in the hotel, and awoke the next morning to death threats and newspaper headlines like "Imelda stood up! Epstein attempted to make a televised apology for the incident, but none of the local stations would air it. The following day, armed guards attempted to keep the band from leaving the country until they paid a fee of some kind. The Beatles, who hadn't been paid for their shows in the country, paid out of their own pockets.

The Beatles literally had to fight their way to the airplane. Events like this, added to the fact that the fans screamed so loud at their concerts that they couldn't even hear themselves perform, led to the band deciding to quit touring altogether.

The album took so much time to record for a Beatles record anyway that the press started to suggest that the Beatles had "lost it" and had run out of creativity. It was the first television special to air worldwide. Manager Brian Epstein died of a drug overdose on August 27 , , while the Beatles were in Bangor, Wales, attending a weekend conference given by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The death was officially ruled accidental, although it has often been speculated that it was a suicide. Epstein had managed every aspect of the Beatles' career, and his absence was immediately noticeable.

The Beatles' business affairs began to unravel. Towards the end of the s , members of the band began to pursue their own musical interests and were writing together less and less. This became more and more obvious on releases like 's The Beatles a. The Beatles was largely written during the band's visit to India , where they had several meetings with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

With the exception of Harrison, the Beatles eventually rejected what they were hearing from The Maharishi - even occasionally writing songs that made fun of him like "Sexy Sadie", originally titled "Maharishi", and a number of unreleased songs from the Let It Be sessions. In January of , The Beatles began rehearsals for a new album project at the time entitled Get Back. Many ideas had been thrown around for the Get Back album, including the idea of recording it live during a surprise concert performance on top of a submarine, in an amphitheatre, or in a dancehall.

None of these happened, but they did end the project with a live performance on top of the Apple Corps. Eventually the band gave up on the project and turned the results of the sessions over to producer Phil Spector. The Beatles professed themselves happy with Spector's re-working of the recordings to make a releasable album; Paul McCartney later indicated he was not happy because Spector had added things like an orchestra and a choir to the stripped-down performances although he signed the release authorisation at the time.

The original intent of the record had been to bring the band full circle, and record what was essentially a live studio performance - just as their first album had been. Other DJs, television news reporters, newspapers and magazines picked up on the story and began to look for clues.

This snowballed into what is commonly referred to today as the Paul Is Dead hoax. People that believed the rumors, claimed that McCartney had died in a car accident and was replaced by a look alike named William Campbell. Numerous clues were supposedly hidden in album artwork and lyrics. The Beatles began recording their final album in July of , entitled Abbey Road. Lennon announced to the other Beatles that he was leaving the band soon after that album's release but was persuaded to remain quiet in public.

The band officially broke up in The last Beatles studio session that included all four band members took place on August 20 , The final Beatles session was on January 4 , The Beatles' last public performance was on the roof of the Apple building on January 30 , The impromptu concert was broken up by the police.
