The Quarrymen, the beginning of The beatles

YEARS OF HISTORY THAT LEAD TO MUSIC REVOLUTION

John states that he met Paul while he was under alcohol effects, since then, they became friends and conformed a band that would be just the beginning of music revolution. It all started with the Quarrymen, a band conformed by John Lennon, Paul McCartney and another classmate from the Quarrymen School (Liverpool, London).

THE QUARRYMEN

This band was formed in 1956. By 1958, the band was already conformed by three of the four beatles, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. When George wanted to join the band, John rejected him because he was too young (age 14), but later he discovered that he had too much talent to let him go away.
In 1960 Stuart Sutcliffe (friend of John) joined the band.
When the band was conformed by John, Paul, Stuart and George, they tried several names for the band. They started with The Silver Beatles, but hen in their first performance in Hamburg, their manager Brian Epstein, told her to put the word "Silver" out of the name, in order to be called The beatles.
Their fame became stronger when they started playing in a german bar called The Cavern. It all started there, between shrieks of crazy german fans. When they came back to England, their fame was enormous and it lasted and will last 'till the end of times.
