>When discussing possible alternatives [to the Revolver title], Starr jokingly suggested After Geography, a play on the title of the Rolling Stones' recently released Aftermath LP.

that's funny

haha, that's one for the history books

THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN

do I not get it or is that really bad

Aftermath's cover had the title basically separated into two parts. The pun is that Aftermath in the cover can be read as "After Math", thus the pun of "After Geography".

I mean, Revolver and Rubber Soul are also pun names.

Oh, that silly, whacky, goofy, zany, looney, crazy, anything for a laugh, Ringo!

That's why he is best Beatle!

>Revolver and Rubber Soul are also pun names.
How come?

But The Stones are Brits... so shouldn't it be "After Maths"?

>Shut up Ringo and play the drums
>I can replace you anytime
what the fuck was Paul's problem?

based Ringo invented Tame Impala in She Said She Said and Rain

Paul WAS the problem!

Rubber Soul I understand, but how is Revolver a pun?

Rubber Soul is a play on the term Plastic Soul and the rubber soul of a shoe, and Revolver references the revolutions of a vinyl record on a turntable.

...

>Revolver
Revolver refers to vinyl records, which literally just revolve in the record player. It's literally saying "this is an album".

>Rubber Soul
This one's a bit more obtuse. The Beatles (and many other bands of that time) were accused of having a "plastic soul", being seen as just manufactured products. Then they did a pun with rubber sole, which is basically a sole for shoes made out of rubber, like most running shoes. It's why Rubber Soul's name kinda looks like a shoe.

>The album's title, like that of Rubber Soul, is a pun,[67] referring to both a kind of handgun and the "revolving" motion of a record as it plays on a turntable.[273] Gould views the title as a "McLuhanesque pun", since, more so than on their previous albums, the focus of Revolver appears to rotate from one Beatle to another with each song.[251][nb 19]

>The group had originally wanted to call the album Abracadabra, until they discovered that another band had already used it.[275] When discussing possible alternatives, during their German tour, Lennon opted for Four Sides to the Circle in response to McCartney's Magic Circle, and Starr jokingly suggested After Geography, a play on the title of the Rolling Stones' recently released Aftermath LP.[276] Other suggestions included Bubble and Squeak, Beatles on Safari and Pendulum before the band settled on Revolver.[275] They confirmed their choice in a telegram to EMI,[67] sent from the Tokyo Hilton on 2 July.[277]

I wouldn't really consider it a pun because it has nothing to do with firearms.

deepest lore
Are The Beatles the greatest band of all time?

>kinda looks like a shoe

>Other suggestions included Bubble and Squeak, Beatles on Safari and Pendulum before the band settled on Revolver.

Tfw their best album was almost called Bubble and Squeak

Brits have weird shoes.

>ywn touch the creamy body of a young Yoko Ono

what an ingenious way of saying fuck you.

It's a big "kinda", but it's there.

axl literally is sprudo bear

Holy shit

Laughed

Damn

reminds me of the story behind daft punk getting called 'daft punk'

>Ringo's a no-good fuckhead
>He was lucky to even get into our stupid fucking band
Jesus Paul

>Ringo was such a pussy he started crying when we told him his songs suck
>eventually had to calm him down and compromise so he could sing one of Paul's shitty songs he wrote in 1963 that wouldn't even be worth to put in our earlier LP's
Why did John and Paul bully Ringo so much?
