All four Beatles have musically inclined children. Would you be interested in seeing a get together from at least one child from each member?

No.
If the kids had a fraction of their parents talent, we would have heard it by now... Julian Lennon had a spark, but that’s all I am aware of.

One of Ringo's kids played for The Who. Lennon's other kid wasn't too shabby and I believe Harrison's kid was with Donovan's kid. I actually like James McCartney's music.
They are not their parents because they are not marketed that way. Davy Jones in an interview said that the Beatles were as PreFab as the Monkees were. 2 of the Monkees had put out Albums, one of them was playing with Stephen Stills (I believe).
Jones proffered that the Beatles were basically marketed by Brian Epstein and at the beginning were of (this part is my opinon, and I love The Beatles) dubious talent.
Edit - One of the best, if not THE best, books on the Beatles was by Hunter Davies, describing how each of them learned their talent and how they formed the Beatles. It was eyeopening. I read it when I was maybe twelve. Dad wanted to go through the book and ink out all the F words in it.

Zak Starkey is an amazing drummer. That's because he learned directly from his godfather Keith Moon from a very early age instead of from his father. 😄 Dhani Harrison is an excellent musician and worked closely with his dad on mastering recordings etc. The Lennon kids are talented but kind of boring. To me James McCartney is the weakest link, personality-wise as well as musically (judging from interviews). But I'd love to see them all get together and see what happens. Maybe having 2 Lennons will help.

It depends...If they are trying to recreate the Beatles by way of genre of music and 'sound' etc. then absolutely not. I hate it when people attempt to remake something original. I hate remakes of films that are impossible to recreate, e.g. Pink Panther, A-Team, St. Bilko, Dad's Army etc. "LEAVE THEM ALONE," I say. Let them stand as they are - unique entities that should not be copied, because any copy will never come close to the original.
However, if they were to get together and play their own style of music and be like any other band, then I would be interested in what they have to offer as a band in and of themselves.

The rage I feel when I see films being remade... Total Recall; RoboCop; Now they are talking about redoing Big Trouble in Little China. These films were all so original and edgy and brimming with character when they were first done, that they are still great now 25-30 years later. As for Beatles.. I voted "Don't Care" The Clash were my 'Beatles' |

I would like to see them, as LL says, doing their own thing together. I wouldn't go nuts about it. If they did I would like each of them to interpret one of their fathers' Beatles songs. Let's say in a two hour set you have four songs. The rest their collaboration. I give both Lennon boys more credit for talent, but in Julian's case he doesn't seem to be as much about music, so that's maybe why he never went far with it.
Doesn't George have a daughter that does well in music?
I write these posts from memory, so I readily admit I could be making errors

How's anyone meant to be original if they're all the next ___? Seriously though neither the Pet Shop Boys nor The Knack ever got anywhere near the heights, the sustained success, nor were they able to get their audience to follow them to the extent that the Beatles did. |

Back in the Seventies the Bay City Rollers were touted as the next Beatles. They had a good sound, but I have no clue if they were writers as well. What would BCR sound like if they reached the Sergeant Pepper stage?

I have had enough of Beatlemania.
If these young people form up an act, good for them.

A little known fact... jiminks collaborated with Paul McCartney on:  Jim wanted it to be fried eggs, but Paul thought that people would take it as a reference towards Keith Richards. |

I was never a Beatles fan. I like a lot of their music, but I would have never considered buying a ticket. Now the Stones, that was a show! Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, I wish.

For a once in a lifetime experience, I was happy to be able to pay $410 for 3 tickets to the Stones in January 2003. I took my son and his best friend, both 13 at the time. No regrets. And the huge stadium was packed with people of all ages. |

The fact that such bands can charge so much money is really just a testament to how much better they were than anything happening nowadays.
