[cometandcupids]

Go Ringo Go.

[Pollandtheawesome]

these guys make me want to wear suits and carry a Rickenbacker everywhere.

[duallancers001]

@ 3:35 - Is that what it looked like when you took pictures during a black and white film recording?! That looks like a ghost attacking me but in reverse!

[WhyDoYouAskWhoIam]

'It's been said before and I'll say it again, nobody plays like Ringo. What a character.' - Vinnie Colaiuta.

[TheTick319]

I just noticed...the funniest part is at @ 5:21. In the second row you can see an older man there, obviously a father of the two younger girls sitting next to him and he's just sitting there rubbing his face and shaking his head at a spot when all the girls are screaming in unison really loud.

[TheTick319]

Screw Neil Peart. Ringo could eat you for breakfast. What a beast. He pounds the shit out of the those skins and still maintains composure and dynamics.

[aryowailangitoyo97]

ringo starr is the best drummer

[astonbrock]

5.30, Ringo lifts everyone, then pulls it back, hear the crowd, what a genius. Ringo!

[thestoryplease]

Man, could John get it going when he shifts from standing back in control to leaning into Ringo's drumming and Ringo just takes off - rock solid energy right through the audience - and even the video!

[1197emilyful]

@ 2:23 which beatle is it that shakes his head? its either john or paul.

[Murdocfan512]

@1197emilyful its john

[aryowailangitoyo97]

@1197emilyful : john lennon

[blairejack]

@1197emilyful I've not really paid attention in this video but it is generally Paul.

[hippieringo24]

Idk why I love them so much, oh yess I do. They rocked the world!!

[kfirmedia]

Whats funny is, as a drummer it's not that hard not to find yourself not using that technique with music from the Beatles and after the era. Funny how that started huh? I can't even think of playing without the technique and really it is not that hard.

[darkoskaterboy]

Ha all the technicians worked right in front of the stage instead of backstage like now days. Also, blinding flash at 3:34 6:20 = whiplash

[Ishi680]

If you realize on concerts like this, Paul has a catchphrase "we like to carry on now" before starting the next song. But it must have been hard for them to perform like this with all the fans screaming.

[hippieringo24]

Ringo must of had fun beating the crap out is those drums, those boys give me the chills!!

That's what real music is!

BUILDING A TIME MACHINE, anyone wanna help??

[sonny101toots]

@hippieringo24 Ha! That's the best idea I've ever heard!!

[quad1000]

I've said it before but I just can't get over how tight they sang and played considering they cannot hear each other up there AT ALL. You have to be a musician who's been onstage to get it...they're actually playing deaf to each other with the screaming and very crude P.A., but in almost every live clip you ever see of them they are amazingly together for not being able to hear. It's why they quit performing, they said nobody could hear it anyway. It's almost freakish.

[007heroesfan]

WOW look at Ringo!!! He is soooooo divine!!! i wish to god to become a great drummer like he is, yet i know that this wish is impossible hahahaha but i still wish hahaha!!!! RINGO IS THE BEST DAMIT AND HE IS MY MAN LADIES!!!!!!

[aryowailangitoyo97]

why is the title only saying ringo starr?

[accordionreid]

@aryowailangitoyo97 Ringo was the Star (no pun intended) when the Beatles first came to America. Ringo on Ed Sullivan was an instant great! The other Beatles would eventually become larger legends than Ringo but it was Ringo that got the most fan mail more than all of the put together.

[vxenon67]

@accordionreid yeah I saw that scene on Hard Days Night. Ringo got most fan mail. I think John was saying Ringo was writing to himself.

[accordionreid]

@vxenon67 Yes Ringo was really the most popular Beatle but eventually Paul McCartney took the limelight and when he wrote Yesterday and orchestrated Sgt. Pepper he was by then practically a Legend.

[dnt9217]

I love how Ringo slams the cymbals between 2:30 and 2:40!!

[jimmybrown11111]

The Beatles were necessary in rock and pop music. Ringo would be destroyed by many drummers in a battle but he was nonetheless essential, he did have a unique style. Paul was an outstanding bass player, harrison a great guitarist and lennon a great writer. They were almost perfect.

[danNarnieNkieran4eva]

love ringo's wiggle at 2:32 lol

[aryowailangitoyo97]

Ringo was awesome that time and the beatles were so young man!

[aryowailangitoyo97]

man, this was in 1964. look how young was Paul there! OMG

[TheyCallMePig]

Ringo May have been the least talented beatle, but he's better than all you fuckers hahaha

[HeadbangingLiam]

@TheyCallMePig what do you mean least talented? theyre all fucking great

[TheyCallMePig]

@HeadbangingLiam just a middle finger to ringo haters.

[eequalsmcvajeen12]

@TheyCallMePig Haha; speak for yourself. I could cover any Beatles song on the drums when after about a month of playing. Haha. That's just a stupid statement. I take it you don't play drums; or play them really badly? Listen to a song by Protest the Hero or Divine Heresy or something, then get back to that statement.

[searcherboy]

@eequalsmcvajeen12 You memorized all drum charts and fills on the entire Beatles catalogue in a month, huh? Right.

Aren't you a hotshot.

[eequalsmcvajeen12]

@searcherboy No; I wouldn't waste my time-- I could play anything Ringo played after maybe three months of playing-- And I've been playing for seven or eight years now...I don't cover bands that aren't that good to begin with nowadays-- I moved past that after a few months, and started doing harder stuff. Like....Anything else.

[searcherboy]

@eequalsmcvajeen12 You seem to have quite an ego. Your disdain for other drummers aside, do you have your own style? Your own individual way of playing? The best drummers - the best artists in any discipline - have that. You have to have more going for yourself than a sense of superiority.

[eequalsmcvajeen12]

@searcherboy Haha-- Absolutely; you could say that. Not to mention; what I've already told you ten times-- Stuff I play is much more difficult- Maybe you have trouble reading?

[searcherboy]

@eequalsmcvajeen12 Who cares if what you play is "more difficult" than the Beatles? That has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever read. It's like someone boasting that he's a great guitarist because he plays faster than Eric Clapton. Dexterity is not soul. Artistry is more than difficulty.

[eequalsmcvajeen12]

@searcherboy Alright; nevermind. You're not getting it.

[OropherThranduil]

@eequalsmcvajeen12

who gives an overall fuck fur your drumming, i bet keith moon wouldn't let you drum on his album.

[eequalsmcvajeen12]

@OropherThranduil One, I wouldn't want to drum on an imaginary album of Keith Moon, since he's dead. Two, why would I be drumming also when he's already a drummer? Three, you can't say anything about my drumming, since you've never heard it. But, I know, and you should also that most drummers could play anything Ringo could in his whole career after a few months.

[OropherThranduil]

@eequalsmcvajeen12

no, they couldn't, like phil collins once put it:

Starr is vastly underrated. The drum fills on the song "A Day in the Life" are very complex things. You could take a great drummer today and say, 'I want it like that.' He wouldn't know what to do'' (he's talking bout guys like you)

moon didn't drum on his solo album, he sang, just like gene simmons didn't play bass on his first solo album.

[dog1net]

@eequalsmcvajeen12 This is something I hear a lot drummers brag about--that most drummers could play anything that Ringo could. But from listiening to several bands over the years trying to do a cover on "I Feel Fine," "Ticket to Ride," "Come Together," and many others, the drummer absolutely fell flat in trying to deliver anything that came remotely close to what Ringo did.

[eequalsmcvajeen12]

@dog1net Here's the thing. Most drummers play a lot better than they do off album rather than recording, because many labels like to dumb down music talent and quality to fit their sales; not all though- It is the same with Ringo Starr, I'm sure- I'm sure he could play better than he did while playing for an audience, but you don't see that. With many other drummers in and just after his era, you can tell that there is much more put into it than he gave. That's all I'm saying.

[OropherThranduil]

do me a favor, play the drums of rain, but don't forget to play them 40% faster than the finished version, since that is the speed the rythm section was recorded, then they slowed it down for the finished effect of the song, really, play it 40% faster, like ringo did, put it on and tell us how many takes you need, and overdubbing is forbidden because ringo also didn't do it.

keith moon had ringo drum on his solo album, when did you drum on one of rocks greatest drummers solo album.

[TheyCallMePig]

@eequalsmcvajeen12 you have no musical taste. i play drums not THRASH BS.

[eequalsmcvajeen12]

@TheyCallMePig Haha. Do you have any idea how hard it is to play stuff like that? I like the Beatles; I like their music. But putting Ringo Starr against any metal or metalcore drummer is insane. That's coming from a drummer and musical enthusiast standpoint. I play as well as listen to both kinds, and many other kinds of music. This is nothing compared to metal.

[ReConWaRRior100]

BEATLE FAN PAUL GEORGE JOHN RINGO

[Vazmusic]

"Ringo" fans.... I hope U will check out the video for my song " RINGO ". It's a very retro video with Beatleish touches. It was done as a labor of love and with the utmost respect for the Fabs. The song and video is my attempt at putting a little bit of the Beatle spirit out there for Beatle fans. It's also my tribute to George Harrison's slide playing as well as Ringo's unique style.

Peace,

Vinnie Zummo, former Joe Jackson guitarist

[firstladymeg]

He goes crazy at 5:30. I love that. Ringo's absolutely a great drummer and extremely underrated.

[Gothicanime20]

Yeah Ringo! You beat the crap out of the drums! Best drummer ever, EVER! I hate anyone who says anything less. Ringo and George both were fairly quiet, and let Paul and John get the fame. They didn't want it, they were there to have fun. And they did. Look at them! Best two Beatles, ever.

[722erodz]

i was there  : ]

[Gothicanime20]

@722erodz I envy you.

[KougasPrincess]

2:12, Ringo made me jizz.

[Floridaboy7777]

lol can you imagine how many drumsticks ringo broke? i can see him having a bucket full of them just in case, jesus christ. the beatles needed ringo

[Xmenfan246]

@Floridaboy7777 Yes, Ringo is criminally underrated. People who call him lucky are ignorant and have never heard of Rory Storm + The Hurricanes, which was the biggest band in the Liverpool music scene of the late 50s and early 60s before The Beatles. Guess who was their drummer/singer? Richard Starkey aka Ringo Starr! To quote McCartney in The Beatles Anthology on replacing Pete Best with Ringo: "We knew we needed 'The Great Drummer in Liverpool'".

[Floridaboy7777]

@Xmenfan246 Criminally underrated is actually the only fair way to put it. people say ringo was the least tallented beatle. and i think thats baby back bullshit :)

P.S: i love how Paul, and especially John know how to literally attack the screaming, by singing their friggin suits off!!!

[Ishi680]

@Xmenfan246 I say, you are a huge Ringo fan. I have seen you making several comments on other videos featuring Ringo's drumming and saying he's underrated. I think he is. I have been looking for bootlegs, backing tracks, lost or remastered Beatles songs just to hear the percussion. You search for the video entitled "Beatles Good Morning alternate take 1967" and that should give you more reason to say that that small man with a big nose is underrated.

[RuberHammer]

lot of wiminz

[akosikevinmartija]

i think the rolling in 2.24-2.26 is a crap. take a look at it. im sure it was. anyways, they rock. :-)

[liv4soccer4]

Check out how John stomps his claps and stomps his foot at about 3:26

HILARIOUS!!

[Xmenfan246]

Ringo is the most underrated drummer in rock history.

[SuiChoy]

nice

[Ottoboy111]

Ringo's bass drum pattern is called a backbeat and it was part of the Beatle sound. Try and find a drummer commonly using the backbeat BEFORE Ringo. It's the Beat that propelled Rock music to the next level.

[TGreviews]

exactly yea it was a hella unique thing in their music and ringo did it better than anyone at the time.. hes going fucking crazy on those drums lol

[zackattack94]

@Ottoboy111 wat an idiot the back beat is the main snare hit for ex. the back beat to this song his 3 which is when ringo hits his snare

[123mmm101]

@Ottoboy111 ... cool <3

[mrtwang32]

@Ottoboy111 Hmmm...actually the "back beat" is the accent on the two and four beats of a 4/4 measure, in this case it is Ringo hitting the snare drum not the bass drum. Might want to check on your definition, Ottoboy, but in any case, like you, I love Ringo.

[ToddCMorgan]

@Ottoboy111 Now, don't get me wrong, I love Ringo's drumming a lot!! But, a Backbeat was the definition of Rock 'n' Roll drumming from the start! Nearly everything from the 50's by Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard, to the Motown or the Surf sound of the early 60's has a backbeat, The Backbeat means "snare on two and four", it's not a bass drum pattern. Chuck Berry even mentions it repeatedly in his 1957 hit "Rock and Roll Music" which the Beatles later covered!

[Ishi680]

@ToddCMorgan I think what he means with the bass drum pattern is the bhug-pak bhug-bhug pak pattern sound between the snare and the bass drum. Go listen to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Reprise and Magical Mystery Tour and get what I mean. That bass drum pattern that Ringo used there was ahead of their time. In fact, you can still hear the pattern being used on today's rock and even hip hop.

[ToddCMorgan]

@Ishi680 Ok, yeah, I hear that, and i agree, but I was just clarifying that the bass drum pattern is not a "back-beat". I agree absolutely, that the bass drum pattern Ringo used was ahead of it's time and very new then. But it's not called the back beat(snare on two and four), which Ringo also used and is still used today in nearly everything popular, but it was nothing new then, as drummers have been using it(back-beat snare pattern) as early the 1920's. That's all I was trying to say.

[Ishi680]

@ToddCMorgan Well we don't really know what that advanced bass drum pattern Ringo used was called so can we just call that backbeat (not the snare on two and four) for now??? I have read that Backbeat is also a title of a film about the early days of The Beatles in Hamburg, Germany.

[spamhead2k]

@Ottoboy111 Another drummer who uses the backbeat to create the whole sound of the band is Roger Taylor from Queen

[vcx9dfne]

@Ottoboy111 Paul's playing the same way, all the time, which I noticed first until your post on Ringo.

It's like a calypso. It pervades much of the early work and turns something like "I Saw Her Standing There" or "She Loves You" from a plodding 4:4 into a swinging and infectious little tune.

I've read a bit on Lennon's song and chord structures. I've never read about the rhythm that propels what he wrote into catchy recordings. I'm glad someone else noticed it.

[vcx9dfne]

@Ottoboy111 On the other hand, take something like "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away." It's pretty evenly metered. Heavy 2nd and 4th beat (made obvious by the tambourine). Try to apply the earlier, syncopated or calypso backbeat to it (which is easy to imagine), and it accelerates awfully and stops being introspective. In fact, it stops being interesting at all. So, they knew when to, and when not to, swing it.

[calzone24]

ringo uses the same bass drum rythm alot

[TheColts99]

Awsome!

[loljkidklmao]

Lennon stomps his leg wierd. I love it.

[Nikyd98]

I can tell Ringo loves the drums!HAHA

[Nikyd98]

You could see they were nervous:)Cute

[Nikyd98]

I love Ringo on the drum with these pieces:)

[arkantoxic]

there was something wrong with one of the mikes, i couldn't hear anything except john's vocals and ringo's drumming. but after all it maybe the insane crowd screaming at the top of their voices.

it went fine after mccartney moved to the other mike

[0Kilowat0]

Simplemente musica clasica y hermosa parte de historia musical

[hbdywtk]

You know, sometimes I want to say that I don't understand what people liked so much about the Beatles and then I'll realize that I've been watching and listening to them for about four hours straight.

[jake9000000000000000]

@hbdywtk Im a metal fan, I <3 The Beatles.
