The Beatles are one of the earliest rock band as well as the most influential in the modern era. The band consists of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, most of their songs written by Lennon and McCartney. Their popularity so high in the United Kingdom so that in 1963 the press spawned the term "Beatlemania". They also later success in the United States and around the world.

Formed in Liverpool in 1959 with the formation of the early John Lennon (vocals, guitar), Paul Mc Cartney (vocals, guitar), George Harrison (vocals, guitar), Stuart Sutcliffe (bass) and Pete Best (drums). But not long after Stuart Sutcliffe resigned (moved to Germany and married Astrid Kircherr and died there in 1962 due to bleeding in the brain). Then in 1962 Pete Best to pull out of the Beatles, and his position was replaced by Richard Starkey, aka Ringo Starr.
Manager of The Beatles, Brian Eipstein, was first known by the number of requests buyer Beatles LPs in music store. The first time Brian tried to offer the Beatles to Decca Records, a major label record company at that time. Auditions can be obtained, only Decca management believes that the group had passed the guitar music tenarnya. Although the four young men to be broken charcoal, Brian finally able to get an audition for them at a record label, Parlophone, which actually is a record company for radio. George Martin, Parlophone manager, agreed, and began recording for the Beatles' first album, titled "Please Please Me". The song Please Please Me and Love Me Do is a mainstay for the album.The Beatles were originally called The Quarrymen in 1957. Quarrymen skiffle is a band (band using household tools, who was a trend in Liverpool), which consists of Lennon and his friends at Quarry Bank Grammar School. On July 6, 1957, the Quarrymen perform at a church ceremony at the Church of St. John, Woolton. In this event Lennon first met Paul McCartney, who was watching the appearance of Quarrymen. McCartney was impressed by the appearance of the band, and then went backstage Quarrymen, accompanied by his friend Ivan Vaughan who is also friend Lennon.
Shortly thereafter, McCartney joined the Quarrymen. Lennon and McCartney became very close, and often seen together. Both are involved in the sense of 'same boat' because they lost their mother in his youth. McCartney also lost his mother to cancer at the age of 15 years. Lennon and McCartney began writing songs together and individually. One of the songs produced in this period is 'Hello Little Girl' which later became hits by The Fourmost in the 60s.
Later, McCartney introduced his friend, George Harrison, a year younger thereof to Lennon. Harrison is good at playing the guitar too eager to join the Quarrymen. Lennon, who initially objected because Harrison is considered too young, finally agreed after persuaded McCartney. Harrison joining followed by Stuart Sutcliffe, a friend of Lennon at the School of Art, which became the base. Sutcliffe could not actually play bass, but Lennon insisted on him joining the Quarrymen. First Quarrymen recording their voices in song "That'll be the Day", Buddy Holly song, and "In Spite of All The Danger", an instrumental written by McCartney and Harrison. Both songs, along with the songs that have not previously released, then officially released in 1994, through the album The Beatles Anthology.
Quarrymen on his way several times to change the name, and personnel-personnel come and go. The band was later named 'The Beatles', a name that supposedly invented by Lennon. Allan Williams became their manager, and in 1960 he successfully obtained a contract with a club in Hamburg. The band also later went to Hamburg, consisting of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best. Best was their drummer at the time. In Hamburg, the Beatles performed every night on a dirty night clubs, and live like singers in a small inn nearby. But then they were deported from Hamburg, because George Harrison was underage to work there.
Upon his return to Liverpool, they performed at the Cavern Club. In this club the Beatles became famous in Liverpool, each show they are always crowded and the queue length. But soon, in the latter part of 1961, the Beatles returned to Hamburg and recorded 'My Bonnie' with Tony Sheridan. Stuart Sutcliffe chose to stay in Hamburg with his girlfriend, Astrid Kircherr, when The Beatles would return to Liverpool. So McCartney took over bass. A few months later Sutcliffe died in Hamburg because of brain disorders.
The Beatles returned to the show regularly at the Cavern Club. In this club, in November 1961, Brian Epstein first saw this band's performance. Epstein is the owner of a music store North End Music Store (Nems) in Liverpool, who knew the Beatles as a customer ask for recorded 'My Bonnie' which the band recorded with Tony Sheridan. Epstein fascinated by the appearance of The Beatles, and later became manager of the band. Epstein offers a demo tape of The Beatles to the recording studios, and repeatedly rejected, as at Decca Records.
Finally, the Beatles received at Parlophone Records, a label that is under the supervision of EMI, with producer George Martin. Terms given Martin is to replace their drummer, Best, who is considered less competent. Best later replaced by Ringo Starr (real name Richard Starkey), drummer from Liverpool who had joined Rory Storm & the Hurricanes. The Beatles released the single 'Love Me Do', which immediately reached number 17 in the UK charts. Their second singles, 'Please Please Me', became their first single to reach the top ranking in the charts.


This success continues. Almost all of their singles reached the top ranking in the UK charts, but 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' in 1964 was the first single which managed to penetrate the United States music industry, as well as initiate the so-called 'British Invasion'. Since then this is the music of the Beatles spread throughout the world, to succeed everywhere, famous in every corner. Their concerts are always packed with fans who are very fanatical, who pursue this band wherever they go. Shouts of fans make the Beatles could not even hear their own voice on stage.

In 1966, the Beatles finally decided to stop the concert. Besides being so noisy audience that their music became audible, the music of The Beatles also had a very developed so it can not be played directly with the technology of that era live performances. This decision addressed widely in the world, who doubt the continuation of this band. But the answer to the Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1967, which is still widely recognized as one of the best albums of all time.
After Epstein's death in 1967, Lennon was the one who is not happy about the actions McCartney who took over leadership of the band. He hated the projects led by McCartney, as the film Magical Mystery Tour and Let It Be. Lennon also became the first person violating the initial agreement of the Beatles, that is to not bring their wives and girlfriends in the recording process, by bringing Yoko Ono in the process of making an album White Album in 1968. Lennon was also among the first states to get out of the Beatles.

After the band broke up in 1970, the feud between Lennon and McCartney continues. One of them is upset because Lennon McCartney preceded him in claiming the demise of The Beatles. Lennon, Harrison and Starr also against McCartney in court in the band dissolved.
