| The Beatles with their monu-mental hardrock-metal song Helter Skelter.
Musicologist Alan W. Pollack said this song will "scare and unsettle" listeners. He cited Helter Skelter’s "undercurrent of violence" and "obsessive nature" and noted "Paul’s savage vocal delivery"… The Beatles released this groundbreaking song on 22nd November 1968. |

| Better than ever: Paul McCartney‘s later version.
In 1967 McCartney read a Guitar Player magazine interview with The Who’s Pete Townshend where Townshend described their latest single ‘I Can See for Miles’ as the "loudest, rawest, dirtiest song The Who had ever recorded". This inspired him to strike back with Helter Skelter which he claimed has the most raucous vocal, the loudest drums, etc. McCartney stated he was using the symbol of a helter skelter as a ride from the top to the bottom (the rise and fall of the Roman Empire) and this was the fall, the demise. |
