The Beatles: George Harrison was not happy with a Paul McCartney track

By the time The Beatles’ 11th album, Abbey Road, was released in September 1969, the band had been writing songs for almost a decade. Each of the members had worked hard on their own tracks as well as collaborative efforts. One of the stronger songwriters in the band was George Harrison, who penned such hits as While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Here Comes The Sun. The Quiet Beatle disagreed with Paul McCartney over one track on Abbey Road, however.

The song in question, Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, was one of Paul’s compositions for the record.

The track included a collection of subtle guitar notes, as well as some extra background noises involving metal shards.

Paul’s wife at the time, Linda McCartney, said the track was his experimentation with the "avant-garde".

He himself said the song was “my analogy for when something goes wrong out of the blue, as it so often does, as I was beginning to find out at that time in my life".
