Double-Take

[beatle]

wow! that is something! he could pass as john's long lost twin.

[PennyLane]

Hey, how do we know that it ISN'T John and that you're not just pulling one on us? http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

[beatlesquia]

I hope they don't try to make this guy replace John in the Beatles or something. You never know.
How old is this picture, Lenmac?

[lennon-mccartney]

Can you believe this ISN'T John Lennon?
Wow.

Gary Gibson, English Lennon-look-a-like.
Still, I bet he wets his pants.

Le-Mc, Please provide some more information on this. Thanks!

[lennon-mccartney]

Well, it's not John Lennon because it's Gary Gibson.
I don't know how old the picture is, not very old, I guess.
I got it from this website - the lost gig, or something. They have a section of links, and they have some tribute bands there, and Garb Gibson was on one of the links, as I recall. I've seen him before, even on T.V. and he's very good. I mean, it's not a wonderful talent to posess, but, you know, it's pretty cool to see somebody that looks like John Lennon.
That particular picture is very good.
But, like I say, he probably wets himself, or still lives with his mum or something!

The Rickenbacher adds a lot to the likeness.

[jami]

can i have his phone number colin? ha ha!

[lennon-mccartney]

I don't actually have his phone number. I've never met the old git.
Despite the rickenbacker, his likeness is good, well I think so. Much better than all those crappy tribute bands' John Lennons!

...and there's something about his left hand.

Appart from that I think he's pretty good - like you said, far better than those smelly tribute band Johns!

[jtal909]

He has a funny haircut, though.

[Harbidge]

Since we're on the subject of Beatle lookalikes, here's one of Paul I found recently...

http://sirpaul.mccartney.net/RRRINGO.jpg

Paul's in the blue in case you're wondering.

Looks who's on the far right! A real Ringo! After this shot, Ringo said, "I thought you looked familiar!"

Now all we need is a Ringo lookslike and a George lookalike!

That Paul look alike is not to good, I think I look more like him in my Halloween out fit, I should try to get a picture of it on this site, and you can tell me what you think.

Mate, I saw a different picture in the daily mail and thought the exact same thing! It's really cool that he looks so much like his dad.

Some comments above about "smelly" and "crappy" people in tribute bands made me think that you all might be an interesting group of people to poll about your opinions on tribute bands. In my experience, it seems Beatles fans are very divided on the subject - either they think it's the greatest thing in the world or a horrible, tacky embarassment! I'm one of the few in the middle. On one hand, I think they're fun an enjoy being entertained by them; it's an opportunity to hear my favorite music played live and a chance to dance. On the other hand, i have ZERO interest in pretending they're real and think that obsessive tribute band fans who think their band is "better than the original" scare the you-know-what out of me! I'd be interested in what the rest of you think on the subject.

[lennon-mccartney]

I still can't get over George's son's picture.

As for tribute bands, it's their attitude that pisses me off. They're ok in small doses.
Daughters, lock up your mothers, it's another beatles tribute band . . . full of fourty-somethings.

There is a new Dutch band called City to City who is not a tribute band but do have related musical influence.

There new hitsingle sounds a lot like saltwater by Julian and they have just replaced their drummer.

Remember the name.

First, LenMac disappears for a few days, now his picture has vanished. Call Scotland Yard! Call the FBI! Call the KGB!
We have to find it before it's too late!

Dhani Harrison looks even more Georgish in some other pictures. Definitely a resemblance between those two, that's an understatement.
Did he inherit his father's musical talents, like Julian, Sean and Zak?
Well they're not BEATLE talented, but you know what I mean.

Here's an idea: Son of Beatles!

The newest musical group to hit the scene.
Rhythm guitar: Julian Lennon
Bass: James McCartney
Lead guitar: Dhani Harrison
Drums: Zak Starkey

Hey, it could happen.

[Lucy]

He was born in '75 or '76 wasn't he?

He's kind of that strawberry blonde colouring that Heather has. He isn't as much of a look-alike as Dhani but he has a clear resemblence.

[Harbidge]

Would anyone go to see this lineup?

I was thinking the same thing. It will not be easy for these kids to carve their own paths.

[bearkat77]

Maybe not easy, but wouldn't it be a blast just to see them try.

I thought James McCartney was quite young?
I just thought he was about 14 or something?
Can somebody confirm it?

------------------
http://www.angelfire.com/stars/LennonMcCartney/lennonmccartneylink.gif (http://www.angelfire.com/stars/LennonMcCartney)

[bearkat77]

James Louis McCartney is much older, LenMac. He was born Sept. 12, 1977. So, that makes him 23.
Dhani would be the youngest. His birthday is Aug. 1, 1978.

If these Beatle kids got together and formed a band that related to their generation, it would be extremely unfair to expect them to change the world.

[Original Fan]

Do these boys even know each other?

[jtal909]

Good question. Under different circumstances they would be like cousins but I don't think their dads hung out much together since the Beatles.
This is a purely hypothetical topic.

Fascinating dialogue here. Dhani DOES bear striking resemblance to his dad. Really interested in seeing/hearing his music.

LOVE COMES TO EVERYONE

[Sally]

I feel sorry for any Beatle kid going into music, their Dad's are hard acts to follow!

Now I want to put my tuppence worth in about look-a-likes. I used to love them when I was young (always wanted a boyfriend that looked like a Beatle) but now I am older I think it is pretty sad that someone feels they have to look like someone as much as possible and not be their natural selves, everyone is beautiful to a certain degree and it is a shame to hide behind some else's look.
