The Beatles fans say Now and Then makes modern rock and roll sound like 'pure trash'

Saturday, March 8, 2025

The so-called final song from The Beatles, Now and Then, makes modern music sound like “pure trash” according to fans of the band.

The Grammy-winning song left fans teary-eyed when it first released, but Now and Then, released in 2023, appears to have affected other genres of music for some fans. Rock and roll, according to one fan, looks like “pure trash” compared to the final song from The Beatles. Now and Then had initially been set for release around the time of the Anthology package, but George Harrison vetoed the song. Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney returned to it over two decades later, after getting John Lennon‘s vocal tape up to a point where they felt the quality was acceptable. Its release is still lauded by fans, who took to r/Beatles on Reddit to share their thoughts on the song.

One wrote: “To me, it makes me feel nostalgic and sad. Especially looking at them now, two of them are resting, and two of them are still living. Back then, they were young, energetic, and still together. John’s death was a massive loss for Rock’ n Roll.

They were the ones who made Rock n Roll popular worldwide. When I watch the official video, it’s honestly heartbreaking. Seeing John and George with Paul and Ringo was so good. Looking at today’s Rock n Roll, it’s pure trash.”
