Pete Best is pathetic and was never a Beatle in my opinion. He was like Johnny Hutchinson- a fill in. Ringo even sat in for PB when he couldn't make it. PB wanted to leave the Beatles anyway and start his own band as if he was too good for them. Then, whamo, stardom. PB? Give me a fucking break. LOL. Anyone who likes PB doesn't no shit about drums- and you should stay that way. I think I will throw up now bc PB makes me sick to my stomach.
Best was a Beatle for 2 years - at the first sessions at Abbey Rd. He was fired as the manager, Epstein, misinterpreted George Martin. Martin wanted an accomplished sessions drummer, Andy White, who knew how to drum for recording sessions as was the norm in those days. Epstein interpreted that as Best was not good enough and that may put into doubt the recording contract. Best was hastily fired. Ringo came in and White was still there in the studio. The most unluckiest bastard in history.
...furthermore, I doubt this fool would still be playing music at his age if the Beatles hadn't of gone on to be so successful. Yes, that's right, thank you. = )
I'd rather stay broke then do what this stiff called, Pete Best is doing. How low can you go? I would have had more resepect for him, if he had stayed at his old job washing dishes. No wonder The Boys canned him!
john lennon actually got the idea for the song a hard days night by a comment that ringo had said after a more than 24 hour rehursal "well fellas i think its been a hard days night"
Pete wasnt invited to be on the Anthology because he was still sore over it and who can blame him? but after his windfall of £2 million from the Anthology and his celebrity status at Conventions worldwide i'd say he doesnt have any reason to be sore anymore but Jimmy was invited to be on it (he turned it down though) Jimmy now lives in London, contrary to reports he died in 1988. i peronally would have loved to have heard from Jimmy on the Anthology.
Tommy Moore was the drummer before Best going on tour and left the band, even though they appealed for him to stay. He died in 1981 with 11 people attending his funeral. More people have written about than went the funeral. Norman Chapman was drummer for a few months, being called up for National Service, so another one who could have been a multi-millionaire. Chas Newby on bass, who replaced Sutcliffe. He was at uni and wanted to complete his studies, despite the Beatles asking him to stay.
the reason he got sacked was because he wanted it to all be about him and not the band like he used to go off beat and do stupid s*7t while playing so the beatles sacked him and they got Ringo which played a good steady beat and did riffs when he needed to or wanted to.

Best is wealthy man. He is not cashing in on the Beatles and does not like to talk about them too much.

Both Beatle films were centered around Ringo..if Pete stayed in the band...Help and A HARD DAYS NIGHT would have had no substance.

actually, there is also a guy named jimmy nichols. but this best guy is kind of pathetic, no matter who the hell he played with.

I agree with Itsaverydeepsea.
Pete does lack personality compared to John, Paul, George & Ringo.
Let's be honest though...
How many drummers can say they were a member of The Beatles? The answer is two and Pete Best is one of that two.
ROCK ON MAN!

Totally incorrect!
Best does not need to play. He is a wealthy man. He does it for fun. He played in bands for 9 years after leaving the Beatles.
