Fixing A Hole: The Beatles' Imaginary Post-1970 Albums: Part 15

Based on the works of Mark Feldman.

Part 15: Coming Home (2014)
Let's face it, this series is no longer trying to be realistic but a place were we combind solo Beatles songs (as well as Julian, Sean, and, in this installment, Dhani, John and George's children) onto an album every 5 years or so. However, this break will be a little longer of usual because of the death of George.

If you didn't read the series, here's a refresher: George is still alive in 2008 when they go on a tour, called the "Memory Tour." (I changed the name of the tour since, in this other parallel universe, the Beatles still intent to stay together after 2008. However, a few months after the final concert at Wembley Stadium, George has a heart attack. He lays in critical condition until he dies on April 19, 2009.

The Beatles (or the surviving Beatles in this case) decide to go on hiatus and record their own solo albums. Ringo records Liverpool 8, Paul records Kisses on the Bottom, and Julian records numerous demos for his upcoming album Everything Changes. Sean decides to form his own group and leave the band to form his own band with Kemp Muhl. Then, in 2011, they decide to reform and start a new group called "the Ladders," a group conceived by John Lennon when he was still alive.

We all know that Paul and Ringo would have called it quits after John's death, not to mentions George's, but let's compare this to Queen or Guns N' Roses. In 1991, Queen frontman Freddie Mercury died and in 1997, John Deacon left the band. However, after that, Freddie and Deacon have been replaced with people like Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert, and Guns N' Roses nowadays is pretty much just Axl Rose and His Band. Not saying Paul can nail those high notes like Freddie, and we all know Adam doesn't do it at all, or that any of the post-Slah guitarists can even fight against Slash  in a guitar battle because Slash would obviously win, but if that can happen, who says that the Beatles couldn't do an Axl Rose? Paul and Ringo. Darn!

Okay, lets just imagine that they did stay together. Who would replace George? People who came to mind included Eric Clapton, Denny Laine, and Jeff Lynne, but in the end, the only person who could replace George is Dhani. Some may say "he never made any solo music, you idiot!" Well, obviously you haven't heard of thenewno2!

Thenewno2 is a band which is headed by Dhani and is kind of like the Plastic Ono Band or Wings, meaning that everybody eventually leaves and gets replaced except for the main members. In the Plastic Ono Band's case, it was John and Yoko, in Wings, it was Paul, Linda, and Denny Laine, and in thenweno2, it is Dhani.

"Get On With It!" crys all the Monty Pythonian's.

The point is that they start to record under the Ladder's title to make a Beatles album. It was released on February 6, 2014, a day before the 50th anniversary of their appearence on the Ed Sullivan Show. Here's the tractlisting for the Beatles' Coming Home.
