Ah George...such a bad ass. ; ) I read a great quote from someone. "If it wasn't for George, the Beatles would be the Monkees." It's so true, George gave them attitude.
As a songwriter, John Lennon is better than Phil Collins and I think, that PC admits that.
As a drummer, Phil Collins was and is better than John Lennon and I think, that JL would admit this.
So, have you heard about a term called common sense?! If one uses cs, on admits, that the Phil Collins comments about drumming are more competent than the ones of Lennon!
"I think Paul and Ringo stand up anywhere with any of the rock musicians. Not technically great. None of us were technical musicians. None of us could read music. None of us can write it. But as pure musicians, as inspired humans to make noise, they're as good as anybody!"
Sorry, I remembered the exact words of the comment wrong. But here comes the part I:
"Ringo's a damn good drummer. He was always a good drummer. He's not technically good, but I think Ringo's drumming is underrated the same way as Paul's bass playing is underrated...
i remember talking to some crazy old scouse who said he saw the beatles play in the cavern in '62. him and his mate walked in the room and the first thing his mate said was "Why are all three of those guys singing the same words".
Comments here are sooo silly. Like come on, if you had a rock band, wouldn't you WANT in the band who you want. It's clear they ALL wanted Ringo, it's just for those years Ringo was with Rory and the Huricanes...And the jealousy comment - Please, like John, Paul and George weren't hot. Any rock band would be lucky to have ONE hot guy, not all of them.
Paul and George were scumbags for pushing Pete out of the group. They sit there with their sanctimonious pontifications about why Pete was such a terrible beatle, yet how would they feel if they were in his shoes? And who the hell is Ringo but some dupe and moron who happened to be available to assauge Paul and George's jealous egos? Screw e1 who disagrees, and screw the Beatles as well, Pete paid his dues and would have made a much better beatle than "duh" "duh" Ringo.
@chuppy125 Phil Collins, drummer for Genesis -- "I think he's vastly underrated. The drum fills on A Day In The Life are very complex things. You could take a great drummer today and say, 'I want it like that.' They wouldn't know what to do." (interview for The Making of Sgt. Pepper, 1992)
I think I'll take Phil Collins opinion about drummers over yours. He seems to have more training and experience in the matter.
@nightcrawler511 "Some Other Guy" is a rhythm and blues song, written by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller and Richard Barrett. It was first released by Barrett as a single in 1962 ...
@MrKite1996 It does to everyone, but yeah, Paul looked young for years, then age caught up fast. Lennon was the one who looked really aged/emaciated by the Double Fantasy time, but Paul still looked good at that time. If Lennon had lived to 70, he probably would have looked 100!
"Love Me Do" is a great song! It has that distinctive Beatles sound and creativity to it. I was a teenager at the time, and nothing in rock 'n' roll music sounded anything like that tune. it was very original from the lyrics to the tune to the harmonica playing. The first really GOOD Beatles song.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Pete was a better drummer than Ringo. Martin didn't think Best was a good drummer, but he realised his good looks would be very marketable to teenage girls, so he wanted to keep him in the band. However, the other 3 were jealous that he was the best looking Beatle and thus got all the girls, particularly Paul. Despite Martin wanting to keep Best in the band, he caved in to the Beatles request and replaced Best with Starr, who was both a shitty drummer and unattractive.
@Anon371 HOLY SHIT. 1. IDK WHY PAUL WAS JEALOUS OF PETE, PAUL IS SOO MUCH BETTER LOOKING THAN PETE. AND SO ARE JOHN AND GEORGE. 2. RINGO STARR IS FUCKING HOT AND A BEAST DRUMMER.
Whether or not Pete Best was the better drummer really is irrelevant, isn't it? Ringo just fit in better with the band. His quickness, wit, style -- his character just fit better.
Poor George was punched in his eye by some fool who could not accept the fact that Pete was given his walking papers. They had their reasons for wanting Ringo and it was best all around that Ringo joined. It was the chemistry among the boys that made it work. George said that without their drummer, it would be like driving a car with 3 wheels. I said it'd be like Chrysler without Dodge - a vital part is missing!
@BeatleBangs1964 Pete simply did not fit in.Pete didn't have the spark.Seems like a nice guy,but to make it BIG,you had to show energy, and look happy. Okay for local fans,but to attract the world? Ringo was IT.
By his own admission, all Ringo wanted was to run a hair salon. In fact a "string of them". That's what he considered success. He was never a powerful drummer but he could keep time and that was all that was asked of him. The Beatles certainly didn't need another ego between John and Paul. He fit the bill perfectly. It worked. Let John Bonham and Keith Moon blow 'em away. He was also one of the luckiest blokes on the planet. Right place, right time. That's life.
@kilts4u2 Keith Moon and John Bonham were great at what they did and they were better at their particular styles then Ringo. But how many different styles of drumming have they done? Ringo is versatile and has recorded more varied styles than they did and, what a lot of people don't realize, Ringo did some of the drumming on Keith Moon's solo album, which was mellower than the Who stuff, Keith overdubbed his parts so both are on those songs. Keith would not have used Ringo if he wasn't good.
without George Martin and some slick publicity, the Beatles would've been just another band and likely faded into obscurity relatively quickly. He cleaned them up musically speaking and put them in gear. Without him, the music would never have gone as far as it did. The Beatles couldn't read music, had no formal training. He took them under wing and made them his project. They had some good ideas, Martin made it all happen musically...ex. Sgt Pepper.
Idk how theres people who hate on George and Ringo saying that they hitched a ride to fame and glory by playing with John and Paul. Sure John and Paul were great song writers and musicians but both of them on their own didn't go very far. I doubt just them 2 woulda made it any different than their solo careers. Thing about The Beatles is that each member contributed to the sound we all love. Without George and Ringo there is no Beatles. Ringos backbeats and George's lead are the magic!

@harlylmarcuap exactly, thats like the Jackson 5 without MICHAEL(and when you think of them, he's kinda the first person that comes to your mid, right?) This was DESTINY. You are so right!
All those people who hated Ringo, or thought Pete was better, can SUCK IT! And that douchebag who headbutted poor George was just COMPLETELY uncalled for! I hoped bad things happened to that heartless crowd! I hope the guilt haunts(or haunted, some of them are dead) them for the rest of their lives! And I can't imagine the Beatles without Ringo, its IMPOSSIBLE. He always respected the band, was always original, and never acted like a hot-shot. And hey, he was a BAD-ASS drummer! Enough said!
@ATalkingCracker Okay but just chill a little. I'm not sure wether hoping bad hings for other people is exactly the appropriate reaction just for something concerning a rock'n'roll band. I mean the crowd was a douchebag but don't overreact...
Ringo was a creative guy- that's how. He could use both hands equally well to write or drum, and created unique drumming for each song, and never interfered wiht john/paul writing and singing most of it. Ringo was hte one the other 3 always got along iwth and never argued wiht even during breakup of the band.
Ringo was a better drummer, everyone agreed. Pete had been there through the worst of it, but he didn't knit the sound together. He didn't want the haircut either. He wasn't as dedicated to the "team" as they required. He asserts it was about sex appeal, but that's a blind. Ringo was of a similar mental outlook and humor as well.
I'm sure Pete's a nice guy, but nobody raced in to grab up his services and prove the others wrong. I wonder if they ever met again after Beatlemania kicked in?
The whole thing about Pete not wanting to change his hair is a myth. There isn't a reputable source that will say the hair had anything to do with it.
if i still had my beatles wig from 1964 i could use it for church on sundays. it is difficult to describe the feeling of beatlemania to those who were not alive then. my daughter loves the beatles and laughs at my stories.
You know, I've gone looking everywhere for the incident where George got hit by a bus, and I can't find it! He mustn't have been too injured, thank God, but how can there be no mention of it save for his statement here? I don't get it.
That was one of the ideas for the Magical Mystery Tour movie. It was supposed to be George getting hit by a bus after singing Blue Jay Way. But they never got it filmed.
"Some Other Guy" is a rock 'n roll song, written by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller and Richard Barrett.[1] It was first released by Barrett as a single in 1962,[2] with a backing band featuring an electric piano, an unusual sound in pop music at the time.
The song was recorded by The Beatles during a live BBC radio session and included on the album, Live at the BBC.
Oh-let me set the record striaght-Ringo WAS THE OLDEST, by 3 months!! It annoyed the hell out of John because he wanted to be the oldest to feel more superior. Brothers lol
George has always been the head of reason. He's so sure and steady...judging with a calm hand, but as soon as someone offends him or the person he loves, "WHAM!" it just blasts out. lol Just because he was quiet doesn't mean he's going to take your sh*t. I miss George :(
lol "I thought I was giving them a hell of a lot of time"

@harlylmarcuap exactly, thats like the Jackson 5 without MICHAEL(and when you think of them, he's kinda the first person that comes to your mid, right?) This was DESTINY. You are so right!

All those people who hated Ringo, or thought Pete was better, can SUCK IT! And that douchebag who headbutted poor George was just COMPLETELY uncalled for! I hoped bad things happened to that heartless crowd! I hope the guilt haunts(or haunted, some of them are dead) them for the rest of their lives! And I can't imagine the Beatles without Ringo, its IMPOSSIBLE. He always respected the band, was always original, and never acted like a hot-shot. And hey, he was a BAD-ASS drummer! Enough said!

@ATalkingCracker Okay but just chill a little. I'm not sure wether hoping bad hings for other people is exactly the appropriate reaction just for something concerning a rock'n'roll band. I mean the crowd was a douchebag but don't overreact...

Ringo was a creative guy- that's how. He could use both hands equally well to write or drum, and created unique drumming for each song, and never interfered wiht john/paul writing and singing most of it. Ringo was hte one the other 3 always got along iwth and never argued wiht even during breakup of the band.

Ringo was a better drummer, everyone agreed. Pete had been there through the worst of it, but he didn't knit the sound together. He didn't want the haircut either. He wasn't as dedicated to the "team" as they required. He asserts it was about sex appeal, but that's a blind. Ringo was of a similar mental outlook and humor as well.
I'm sure Pete's a nice guy, but nobody raced in to grab up his services and prove the others wrong. I wonder if they ever met again after Beatlemania kicked in?

The whole thing about Pete not wanting to change his hair is a myth. There isn't a reputable source that will say the hair had anything to do with it.

if i still had my beatles wig from 1964 i could use it for church on sundays. it is difficult to describe the feeling of beatlemania to those who were not alive then. my daughter loves the beatles and laughs at my stories.

You know, I've gone looking everywhere for the incident where George got hit by a bus, and I can't find it! He mustn't have been too injured, thank God, but how can there be no mention of it save for his statement here? I don't get it.

That was one of the ideas for the Magical Mystery Tour movie. It was supposed to be George getting hit by a bus after singing Blue Jay Way. But they never got it filmed.

When you think about it, Love Me Do almost sounds like a country song!
They had a lot of country influences, along with rock and roll and blues from America.
Really cool, when you think about it. :D

@nightcrawler511 : "Some Other Guy"?
"Some Other Guy" is a rock 'n roll song, written by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller and Richard Barrett.[1] It was first released by Barrett as a single in 1962,[2] with a backing band featuring an electric piano, an unusual sound in pop music at the time.
The song was recorded by The Beatles during a live BBC radio session and included on the album, Live at the BBC.

George has always been the head of reason. He's so sure and steady...judging with a calm hand, but as soon as someone offends him or the person he loves, "WHAM!" it just blasts out. lol Just because he was quiet doesn't mean he's going to take your sh*t. I miss George :(
lol "I thought I was giving them a hell of a lot of time"
That sounds like the worst day ever!! Poor georgy! :((
