100 SONGS THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

1968

💥39 Helter Skelter

The Beatles

The Beatles "Helter Skelter" US picture sleeve.jpgThe Who’s “I Can See For Miles” inspired the creation of “Helter Skelter”. Paul McCartney fancied the idea of recording the loudest song ever. In the process, the Beatles may have inadvertently cut the first ever heavy metal record. This was an undeniable example of the range of the group and songwriter (in this case) Paul McCartney. Here was the same musician that penned “Yesterday”,  “Michelle” and “Blackbird”, screaming out the lyrics to “Helter Skelter”, another of his compositions. After various takes, the finished version was included on ‘The Beatles’ (aka ‘The White Album’).
