So it turns out that Peter Frampton sucks - oh you knew that already? The Brothers Gibb surround themselves by people who can\'t sign and play as well as they do and let everyone else drag them into the depths of garbage. But Barry\'s hair looks amazing, at least.

Sgt Pepper\'s on it\'s face is a "do not do" movie before it even starts - you don\'t cover The Beatles unless you really are supremely talented, which The Bee Gees completely are, but the problem is that they allowed other people to be involved. You\'ve got George Burns, Steve Martin, Alice Cooper, Peter Nicholas (yeah, who?), Donald Pleasance, Stargard and Frankie Howerd all covering Beatles tracks. Look, only a few people get to do that and none of you are qualified. Stop it! Stop IT!

And leading the "not-good-at-stuff" is the constant O-faced, Peter Frampton. He is the absolute worst. Consistently off-key and when "on" his face is off. His "acting" (he doesn\'t utter a single line of dialogue) is about as good as his mouth guitar.

As a whole, Sgt. Pepper\'s is a complete disaster and nothing works within it\'s pieces. Yet it doesn\'t have any of the yummy crummy goodness like The Apple, Breakin 2 or Can\'t Stop the Music. It has its occasional moments but you have to look at Peter Frampton to get to those points so its not really a fair trade-off.
