Giles Martin Served as Beatles' George Martin's Ears as a Teen

He looks and sounds a lot like his dad. It's like a younger version of George Martin. Just like George Harrison's son.

[NewhamMatt]

Giles Martin sounds amazingly like his father, Jimmy takes the interview seriously and, being a musician, asks significant and astute questions that would interest people (apart from the harmless silliness with Drake).  This is the closest I've seen to Jimmy imitating Johnny Carson or Jack Paar, and as much as it will probably be forgotten, I think it's one of his better interviews.

The Beatles would say Paul would spend hours with samples from home splicing and looping with George Martin, so rare to have so many geniuses working together in one band. Amazing work they themselves would not be able to reproduce even if they wanted to.

[bedazzled]

It's incredible how much Giles is like his dad.... same mannerisms and his voice! Sounds and acts so much like his dad. What a great man Sir George Martin was.

Once I had a chat with Giles: a very nice and humble guy.

[mollytsanadis]

Both him and his father will go down in history as great producers

[ustheserfs]

Thank God George Martin saw their charm and wit on the day they met, despite Harrison's dislike of his tie.

Giles Martin’s remixes are amazing, and much needed

Ordered a Vinyl version of Sgt. Peppers' Band of Lonely Hearts and received it in the mail yesterday. Can't wait to play it!!!

Giles is the keeper and the future of the holy grail of music. He's 51 or 52 now. From Love Me Do in 1963 to The End in 1970, those tapes of those 240 or so of the world's greatest songbook in between are in his hands.

GILES STILL COOKING Revolver 2022 is the best I've ever been able to experience The Beatles in my lifetime. So grateful to Giles Martin, Peter Jackson, Jackson's team, and everyone else responsible for the restoration and preservation of these masterpieces.

Sir George Martin, Legend and all round classy guy. This is the first interview I've seen with Giles Martin and he seemed very impressive, a chip off the old block.

[sebastienmerlin]

Wow - is that George ? He looks and sound exactly like his Dad .... incredible

[manguy]

Adding Drake to St Pepper album is sacrilege

[SpaceCattttt]

1:08 The worst fake laugh in the history of the universe.

[georgeorr]

Giles fixes the slow speed of “She’s Leaving Home.” Sounds perfect now. Well done. Side 1 of Pepper is the the best 20 minutes of music I’ve ever heard.

[freethebeatle]

I liked how they wrote that thumbnail, that was respectful

[MrPilgrim]

I’m going to go out on a limb now and just say that (Sir) Giles Martin will be knighted down the road almost exactly like Sir George. Holy cow he’s almost identical to the way George was this time 50 years ago

[vanissamendoza]

i can't help but grin everytime I see jimmy's beard! 😆😆😆

[SouthernIdaho]

Fallon is such a tool...especially for adding Drake to the album cover...
