Many great
musicians around the world, such as Radiohead, Oasis and more, considered the
Beatles their mentors. Mayday, a popular Taiwanese band that claims to have
been influenced by the British group, also said, “there wouldn’t be Mayday
without the Beatles”.
In “The
Beatles, Tomorrow” stage and behind-the-scene exhibition held in Taipei last
year, Mr. Shihfang Ma, a music commentator dubbed “the walking Beatles
encyclopedia”, and Matthew Tsai from Mayday joined to share their enthusiasm.
“If there
were no Beatles, rock music might not have been the way as we knew it,” said
Mr. Ma. “They were forerunners of ‘bands of original creations,’ and they
experimented different styles to expand and explore new possibilities of pop
music, while making rock a new form of artistic expressions.”
