John Lennon Instagram – TICKET TO RIDE. 🔴 That’s me. That was the first, one of the earliest heavy metal records made, I think. Paul’s contribution was the way Ringo played the drums. ‘Ticket to Ride’ was one move. I remember that, you know, it was a definite sort of change. I liked it because it was a slightly new sound at the time. It was pretty fucking heavy for then. If you go and look in the charts, or whatever music people were making and you hear it now, it’s one of them and it doesn’t make you cringe. If you give me the eight-track, I’ll remix it and I’ll show you what it is, really, but you can hear it there. I used to like guitars, you know, I don’t want anything else on the album, the guitar’s jangling, piano or whatever and it’s all happening, it’s a heavy record, you know, and the drums are heavy too, that’s why I like it. “My baby don’t care” – one of my favorite bits of ‘Ticket To Ride’ – we just threw on at the end on the fade-out.
