@AlekSensej Pete was the 5th Stuart Sutcliffe was the 4th and all those guys from the quarrymen are disregarded

Many people forget that Pete was the forth member of the band.

Ringo was the fifth.

Even the band forgot him.

He used to be fantastic in Brookside. Show was never the same after he left.

Forgetting Ringo, Pete looks like a chuckle brother

@Jazzigator Rolling stone magazine voted him as the 5th best drummer of all time and the rest of that John Lennon quote went on to say that he was joking and that the Beatles wouldn't be the Beatles without Ringo. Pete went for the good of the band.

If I was Ringo, I would bring him on tour.

Ok, the truth is 1. Pete wasn't a good drummer because he tried to play like all the others and Ringo had his own style, generally using flams and a strong kick. 2. Pete was a damn good looking kid and Paul and John heard the girls shouting his name instead of theirs and well, you get that. And finally 3. He wouldn't get rid of the duckbill hairdo as Brian asked him to. Pete was a huge Elvis fan and it cost him his future. I talked to him in 2008 here in Austin, Texas.
