John Lennon called The Beatles song Ticket To Ride ‘the first heavy metal record’ | Music | Entertainment

While in 1980, Lennon told Playboy: “That was one of the earliest heavy-metal records made.

“Paul’s contribution was the way Ringo played the drums.”

In 1994, Paul McCartney said of the “radical” Ticket To Ride: “I think the interesting thing is the crazy ending instead of ending like the previous verse, we changed the tempo.

“We picked up one of the lines, ‘My baby don’t care,’ but completely altered the melody.”
