The Beatles

1. The Beatles earned their fame as part of Liverpool's swinging Mersey Beat scene. But when they originally formed they were a Slayer tribute act.

2. The Beatles had a famous rivalry with fellow rockers The Rolling Stones. The pop beef started when Stones guitarist Keith Richards killed original Beatles drummer Pete Best in a bare knuckle boxing match.

3. John Lenon caused outrage when he claimed that the Beatles were 'bigger than jesus'. Jesus was so mad at the Fab 4 he summoned the demon, Yoko Ono, from her thousand year slumber to destroy the band.

4. Though popular belief is that it is a song inspired by hallucinogenic drug LSD,  'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds', was really inspired by a painting Paul McCartney's daughter had drawn at school. The Beatles had earlier penned a drug themed song with their ode to Rohipnal, Love Me Do.

5. Before being signed by Parlaphone The Beatles were famously turned down at the audition stages of Britain's Got Talent. 

6. Many believe producer George Martin deserved much of the credit for the Beatles seminal studio album 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'. This is because he played all the instruments and did all the singing on the album as The Beatles were mashed up on drugs and shit.

7. Paul McCartney was really good mates with the Prince of Pedo Pop Michael Jackson. Macca gave Jacko some savvy business advice to buy the rights to hit records, and Jackson promptly purchased the whole Beatles back catalogue. McCartney was furious as the only song he didn't buy was Hey Jude. To this day this is the only Beatles song Macca can legally perform live. So he does a 50 minute fucking awful version at every event that ever happens, the cunt.

8. George Harrison famously died in a go-kart accident in 1968 and was replaced by Cheers actress Rhea Pearlman. 

9. The song Eleanor Rigby was based on the life of Florence Nightingale, who did keep a face in a jar by the door, for most of her adult life. 

10. When Beatlemania hit the United States in 1964 a state of martial law was declared. In the the bloodshed that followed over a thousand men lost their lives and many, many more were injured and had their lives torn apart.
