If Ringo had done nothing else beyond competent drumming after his performance in "A Hard Day's Night," that would more than have sufficed for his contribution to the group. He sold that film, and in some ways was the star. But, of course, his contributions went way, way beyond that.
John was the best rock and roll singer for a long time. But now things are different maybe Chris Cornell , perhaps someone not yet heard. Open up your mind, They gave everyone a reference point.
I can understand George Martin not wanting Ringo in The Beatles . George being
an excellent musician in his own right , had spotted Ringo's technical failings vs
the session guys he was used to recording . There had probably been some rather heated discussions regarding Ringo's inclusion ,...but no doubt the three other Beatles had told him , ( in their no-nonsense Scouser way ) Look, mate Ringo's IN ,..and that's that !. Three cheers for John , Paul ,and George ! ).
I won't dispute that statement, as I really don't know otherwise. Ringo did add excitement at appropriate times, even if his meter faltered just a little because of it. I find his brilliance grounded in humility and willingness to stay out of the way I did attend a clinic with the legendary and great Hal Blaine, where he took credit for an open high hat lick on a Johnny Rivers tune that was quickly copied by every producer in L. A. Cheers
My Pal Pete "Phibber" Munchausen claims Pete Bests sacking was nothing to do with his drumming.It was because he had no head for heights.The band knew that one day they'd be playing on a roof...sure enough in Jan 1969 they did.....luckily Ringo knew his way around the band by then.
I was born april 10th 1962 in Liverpool Ohio USA and my great grandmother's name was Mary MacGuire.I play John in a Beatles tribute band check it out. Beatles101 Hard Rock Cafe
The Ringo/Pete thing may be a discussion point for some, but do we really need another one in it? PLEASE. At least you, Paul. Should. Get. AWAY OF THE FREAKIN DRUMS! 0:23 :D
I hear people say about the Beatles, so and so was a better drummer than Ringo and someone else was a better guitar player than George. And one could argue there were better singers than John or Paul. So, put in Fred and Larry and Burt and Clyde and do we still have The Beatles? Synergy, people, synergy!
It's very easy to tell. Just play the Pete version of a song and then the Ringo version. Not only is the timing better, but the drumming is more tasteful and varied, but most importantly the band really gels with Ringo. Even the version of Please Please Me on the Anthology is missing something. I played a friend of mine who is also a musician the Decca "Money" and then live cut from '63. I think he said it best - "See, now it sounds like the Beatles."
@dedbusted That's bollox-this version is years before the recording. Songs rarely arrive fully formed. What happened to Martin's golden touch-'songwriting' when The Beatle split?!!! did fuck all afterwards.Back to producing Basil Brush. As Lennon said (about Martin)-'How many fucking songs did he write?'
@thenowuk K, but Martin totally went to bat for these guys. He was considered a major risk-taker, & when he proposed mixing orchestral instruments with rock n roll he was told he was nuts & that it would never work. His work on songs like Penny Lane & I Am The Walrus is a testament to his genius. Lennon & McCartney together could never have done that, & I think John & Paul were the best commercial songwriters to date. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Hats off to all 3 of these guys.
@thenowuk Oh, no doubt. Lennon & McCartney were not "gold," but Platinum Plus as far as their abilities concerning commercial song writing. Proof is the fact there was not that sound heard anywhere by anyone (unless they were impressed & then mimmiciking the early Silver Beatles) The Beatles themselves listened mostly to Soul/Blues, so how they came up with an internationally original sound is beyond me. Plus their ability to "marry" great chord changes with just the right melodies was genius.
I don't have a clue about drumming, apart from the fact that I can tap out a beat, but The Beatles wouldn't be The Beatles without Ringo, for me there's just no argument.
And most importantly, we wouldn't have that amazing line 'I've got blisters on my fingers!'
i love the crap looking bass Paul is playing at 1:11 which appears to have three strings and the jack plugged directly into the bridge pick-up. He already looks like Mr. showbiz (and that's meant as a compliment!). Never heard this version of "Ill follow the sun" til today - a life long favorite...
@Gin4tonic Listen to the "Love Me Do" demo. George Martin had to replace Best - his playing ruined the song. Would have never charted with Best on drums. They'd never have gotten out of Liverpool. Ringo was known as "The best drummer in Liverpool". The only drummer who perhaps played better on a Beatle record than Ringo was Bernard Purdie, the funk drummer who played on "Day Tripper".
@sparkytrick Nice but I didn't say anything related to better/worse. I said that he was not a "Quarryman" because there is a picture of him in the video. He wasn't member of that.
@JokesInYou Disapointed why? They were kids at this point still learning to play. This is not even The Beatles. Is the Quarrymen. Just a bunch of school kids. I think it´s of a great historical value.
Ringo was all the band needed, much has been said about the attitude of John and Paul, and when you've got geniuses like them. All you really need is someone for them to bounce off their ideas.
i love ringo - but even the rest of the band admitted that they were attracted by ringo's attitude rather than his skill, when ringo started off in the band he was still learning the ropes.. but he became an amazing drummer in the later years
Pete Best is a good drummer, and his powerful style was advanced for its time, but come on! Ringo is a far more proficient and technically solid drummer. George Martin said that he had better timing than classical musicians. And Best was glum, whereas Ringo added a friendly loveable character to the group. He also changed his image to fit, which Best wouldn't. Ringo could also sing better, was the best actor in the group, came up with lots of names (tomorrow never knows) and he could write.
Paul wrote this when he was a teenager in Liverpool, looking out between the blinds (curtains) at his father's house and seeing the sun make pretty patterns on things. Paul said so himself when he played this live in Olympia
Gosh folks, the pete/ringo thing is silly. Ask any respected pro drummer, Ringo was much more skilled, had a far better sense of what was appropriate to each song, and as everyone involved in the fabs recording career will tell you, was rock solid. Ringo has always been dissed by those that think huge kits and ten minute solos are cool, but not by other drummers, who dig his playing, musicality and soul. He really was the crucial last piece of the puzzle. Peace and Love!
@charlyW34 , well put! Listen carefully to any Beatles' song & try to imagine any different drummer... totally not the same. Sometimes Ringo's genius was what he didn't play, as opposed to what he did. There's something sly, subversive, understated in his drumming... and freakin' brilliant. I tire of him being dissed.
@lauralouprince I couldn't agree more. Ringo's drumming fit The Beatles perfectly. He's the one John, Paul and George wanted. Three pretty qualified opinions. More qualified than the wankers shooting their mouths off here.
@charlyW34 Exactly right! I think he is too often over-looked, his unique beats really made the songs in many cases...."She Said, She Said" one great example out of hundreds...long live Ringo! they said he had the best back-beat in the business.
@charlyW34 totally agree, but Pete Best was a bit more skilled drummer. Ringo Starr just fit the whole "Beatles" Thing. His drumming style was more of what they were looking for. It Equals out.
@charlyW34 Of course Ringo was the perfect fit for The Beatles - so were John, Paul and George. By definition!!!! I also think Ringo was the BEST Mr. Conductor. Any others agree??
@charlyW34 RIngo brought open hats to rocknroll. Straight up. He wasn't a "brilliant" drummer (define brilliant as you will) but think about it, before ringo, hats were a time keeping element of a drum beat. Come ringo, he showed you could use hats to bring excitement to music. Rock and roll progressed into rock, heavy/stadium rock, then eventually metal, but it was only after him that bands came to appreciate the usage of open hi-hats. I mean correct me if I am wrong, but I swear it's true :)
everybody is so stupid for thinking that the comment @MarksCofeeHouse2 posted was serious, jeeez, you's think some of you have never had a conversation before...
Very good this song, I much prefer this song in the original 1960 version than the one that The Beatles covered later ... son that best fits the time the group began their first recordings ..
Prefiro muito mais essa musica na versão original de 1960 do que a outra que os Beatles regravaram depois... esse son se adapta melhor a época que o grupo começou as suas primeiras gravações

@pevlez yes, Paul wrote this song when he was still a teenager living at his Dad's house looking through the lace curtains at the sun of the house at Frothlin Road. This later was re-recorded by The Beatles
OMG this sound so different! I cant blieve how young they were, its so old that stuart sutclifffe was even in it! and Pete Best!, and a 15 year old ♥George♥
@Marie15017 This is not Paul. It's Stuart Sutcliffe. His register is lower than Paul's. Besides, if you can't tell the Beatles distinct voices well then...shame on you.
@Marie15017 Just ignore that idiot. He thinks that everyone knows everything about The Beatles, and in reality quite a few have not even heard of Stuart Sutcliffe.
If John were alive today you know what he would say to that loser? He would say " Shame on me? Oh, shame on your mother, you rotten nazi bastard!" and he would say it in his "retard voice" while spazzing out.
lol, he was known to make fun of retarded people. :D
Regardless if you've heard Stuart Sutcliffe or not, you should be able to recognize the 4 others voices quite easily. Yeah? And as far as being retarded, the cunt replied "don't fucking tell me i don't fucking make mistakes. i don't fucking listen to bastards like you. son of a fucking bitch". Classy.
Good attempt at a witty post. John would shit on you from the grave.
Besides too much echo this song was played with a lighter touch but for the record they or George Martin realize it could be more outstanding as a beautiful slowed-down song. Hey you better slow down babe your moving way to fast.
@musique94 Yeah, great Lennon quote. Apt as always. But Pete wasn't really a great drummer. He didn't have much of a backbeat or timing. I've heard him play on certain things and he's not what you'd call a professional, sadly for him.
Interesting. Not very good, but interesting.

@pevlez yes, Paul wrote this song when he was still a teenager living at his Dad's house looking through the lace curtains at the sun of the house at Frothlin Road. This later was re-recorded by The Beatles

@KasyJames yeah it's paul because he was like 15 that time.
Marie15017 1 year ago
@Marie15017 This is not Paul. It's Stuart Sutcliffe. His register is lower than Paul's. Besides, if you can't tell the Beatles distinct voices well then...shame on you.

Nah, you're wrong.

@Marie15017 Just ignore that idiot. He thinks that everyone knows everything about The Beatles, and in reality quite a few have not even heard of Stuart Sutcliffe.
If John were alive today you know what he would say to that loser? He would say " Shame on me? Oh, shame on your mother, you rotten nazi bastard!" and he would say it in his "retard voice" while spazzing out.
lol, he was known to make fun of retarded people. :D

@TheLonersManual
Regardless if you've heard Stuart Sutcliffe or not, you should be able to recognize the 4 others voices quite easily. Yeah? And as far as being retarded, the cunt replied "don't fucking tell me i don't fucking make mistakes. i don't fucking listen to bastards like you. son of a fucking bitch". Classy.
Good attempt at a witty post. John would shit on you from the grave.

Besides too much echo this song was played with a lighter touch but for the record they or George Martin realize it could be more outstanding as a beautiful slowed-down song. Hey you better slow down babe your moving way to fast.

musique94 1 year ago 180
@musique94 Yeah, great Lennon quote. Apt as always. But Pete wasn't really a great drummer. He didn't have much of a backbeat or timing. I've heard him play on certain things and he's not what you'd call a professional, sadly for him.
