  • Ringer had a bigger penis, that's why he was in and pete was out

  • Yeah, but comparing George Harrison to Pete Best is a bit futile. By the time Pete joined the band, George had already established himself in the band. John finally came around to respecting him and George did work tirelessly at his guitar playing. Pete was by all accounts a pretty good drummer for that era. He certainly was good enough to make them a smash sensation in Hamburg. Still, recording studios often are unforgiving environments.

  • I can't imagine working as a pisspoor civil servant for the rest of my life while my inexplicably detached band became the most successful in the world. How can you blame him for trying to off himself when Beatlemania peaked and he hadn't gotten a dime? He started talking about the Beatles after he got his share 30 years later, so I would say he isn't trying to capitalize off it now.

  • Pete's a nice guy after all. Regardless of what happened, he hasn't let bitterness get the better of him. A good thing for sure.

  • @AvidLethargy Where did he say this?

  • Thanks for the upload, Check out my recent Pete Best's video from the concert. :)
