The Beatles Tell The Press They Won't Be Their Puppets

The Beatles' frankness and natural way of speaking endeared them to the press when they first came to the States in 1964. It was a key part of how they became so popular.

But as their popularity grew, "There was so much more pressure from the press trying to get AT you." - Ringo.

By 1966, that same frankness had become a source of friction.

Watch this clip from a Hamburg press conference that year to hear Paul explain to a journalist why the band really wasn't, "Horrid snobby" at all.
