George Harrison

"It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one."

Paul McCartney

“He was a lovely guy and a very brave man and had a wonderful sense of humor. He is really just my baby brother.”

John Lennon

“I think that [‘Within You Without You’] is one of George’s best songs, one of my favorites of his. I like the arrangement, the sound, and the words. He is clear on that song. You can hear his mind is clear and his music is clear. It’s his innate talent that comes through on that song, that brought that song together.

Ringo Starr

We will miss George for his sense of love, his sense of music and his sense of laughter.

Bob Dylan

“I’ve always liked the way George Harrison plays guitar – restrained and good.”

Jeff Lynne

“George was a reluctant rock star, but he loved to play rock’n’roll. At the end of a session, around two in the morning, we’d have a few drinks, listen back to the stuff we’d been doing, and then start playing other songs together, some of his old favorites. He didn’t like the bulls__t that goes with being famous. But he loved to make music and he loved recording.”

Tom Petty

“We had some screaming laughing times. He could get you laughing really hard, you know, and I held my sides and tried not to hurt with him. Some people have this image of him as a kind of reverent guy, which he was, but he was also rip-you-apart funny.”

Ravi Shankar

“George was like a son to me, and my Indian name for him was ‘Jáyaraj.’… He gave the whole world so many beautiful songs.”

Terry Gilliam

“George was a huge [Monty] Python fan. He was always convinced that the spirit of The Beatles went into the Pythons because we started the year they quit. I want to believe that as well.”

Eric Clapton

“I always thought of George as being a little like the elder brother that I never had. So I respect his judgment and his values and I think he’s a wonderful man. And I like the way he bends the strings too.”

Dhani Harrison

“Jeff and my dad had a great way of working together. They were very good friends, and Jeff was meticulous, and he’d have a lot of ideas and bounce stuff off my dad. They just worked very well together.”

Olivia Harrison

“Pretty much. We felt it in our hearts from before we met. Even on the phone, we seemed to have some understanding, like you do when you meet the right person. And he was a charmer, such a charmer!”

It was 20 years ago today we lost one of, if not the greatest, lead guitarist and singer-songwriter there has ever been.

Rip George Harrison (25 February 1943-29 November 2001)
