John Lennon : I actually wrote I Feel Fine around the riff which is going on in the background. I tried to get that effect into every song on the LP (Beatles For Sale), but the others wouldn't have it. I told them that I'd write a song specially for this riff so they said, 'Yes, you go away and do that,' knowing that we'd almost finished the album. Anyway, going into the studio one morning, I said to Ringo, 'I've written this song but it's lousy,' but we tried it, complete with riff, and it sounded like an A-side, so we decided to release it, just like that.
George Martin : The beginning has that feedback, which people thought was an accident. It wasn't. John and Paul spent a lot of time trying to get that sound.
Jeff Beck (guitarist, The Yardbirds] : The first time you get it (feedback) is when you lean your guitar against the amplifier for a minute and the sound goes on and on. Your immediate reaction is to rush over and turn it off. You think it'll hurt the instrument but, after a while, you find out that it can contribute something. I like using different effects and noises, it's one way of covering up bad playing, but it's something very hard to control, and it's hard to do it in tune.
