[@stratfanstl]

The Let It Be film made it ABSOLUTELY clear how talented Ringo was and how critical he was to the success of the Beatles. The film showed how CLOSELY he listened to ANYTHING being played around him and instantly began contributing a beat and ADJUSTING that beat as he heard one of the other three experiment and alter what they were trying to achieve. If you were sitting in a room trying to quickly stumble on to a song, there was NO better drummer to have in that room than Ringo, who could do exactly that for HOURS effortlessly and develop perfectly suited drum parts to support the song. Much respect...

[@angelachouinard4581]

You describe it perfectly. And I think he seemed to do it all so effortlessly that a lot of people underestimated him. He truly did have a gift.

[@jeremywilliams5107]

I never thought that he was a good drummer at all. But then I listened to what drummers said, of which I knew nothing, and realised that simply because he doesn't seem to dominate or come over in the song, is what makes him a superb drummer.

If Pete Best had stayed they would have broke up mid 60s & Pete was as good as Ringo was at beginning but had no charisma, sri Pete.

So many people were critical in their story, from family, Brian Epstein, George Martin & recording engineers & Mr Abbey Road. Take anyone out & it be a whole different story.

@@TomCruz54321 I think they might have stayed together if they'd taken more time off between albums. There was no reason to do three albums in a one-year time span. It's not like the public was going to forget THE BEATLES. Had I been John, I'd have told Paul if he wanted to work so badly, he could do a solo album. Meanwhile the others could get a well-deserved rest and time away from each other. "See ya in six months, Paulie!"

Without Lennon, there are no Beatles !! maybe if they would have taken a break from each other once in a while they might have lasted longer than 1970. Yes the Beatles are the greatest band of all time and have Timeless Classics that will be talking about 200 years from now but I will emphasize it was John who got the Beatles back together twice: once after their first disastrous trip in Hamburg and after 1966 when Lennon admitted he missed working with the other four after he got done finishing filming How I won the war.

@@bieituns have met Pete Best a few times, in connection with the yearly Casbah events, what a very fine gentleman he is 😇.... well, as a frequent visitor to Liverpool, for both Beatles or footie related events, and no matter red, or blue supporter... yes, the city is great in so many ways, with all the sights and events - the fantastic people in the beautiful city at the Mersey make the real difference... i have had the pleasure of having traveled to 75 countries and living in many different cities and countries in all corners, and continue to live far away from Liverpool... the fact remains.. Liverpool is among my favorites.. can it be the Mersey..😇.. Ringo is a good example of being a nice bloke

@@user-jw9lq5ib6g Yes the new Everton stadium is looking impressive as well on the banks of the royal blue Mersey.

@@bieituns yea.. mighty stadium, mate.. in fact, the Championship has never seen a bigger stadium.. 😇😇 let's see what comes first for Neverton.. new owners or bust.. 🙃 - well, well... in fairness, the many Everton fans working in The Cavern are nice blokes

Great! I was there also. In 7 th grade my neighbor, whose Grandmom lived in AC, surprised me with a ticket to see Beatles. His mom took us to Convention Hall in AC, NJ. It was so exciting even though we couldn’t hear a thing due to all the screaming! I think it was 1963 or 64. Great memory I’ll never forget! Ringo looks amazing.

“I’ve never listened to the drummer, i listened to whole thing”. And there you have his grateness really.

Ringo is so so bright, hence his massive contribution to the Beatles. What a great interview, thanks for sharing!

[@jamesheath7601]

He looks fantastic at 83

[@dougpeters1625]

Ringo you are the greatest!

[@dynaboyjl.4220]

Crazy that the combined age of these two guys is 175. But they're still here and we're still here to see them talk, and isn't that something.

Ringo will always be my hero he brought me out of my comber when i was 3 years old i was calling for him it was 64 65

[@OccupyMars-le9gy]

Legendary musician indeed

[@jacktoddy9783]

Thank you Ringo for being normal after all these years. I remember when I first saw you with the Beatles. In those days I referred to the four of you; not as a band, but as a group. That is how music should be appreciated a group of people within which everyone has a part.

[@user-te3jc3sl7r]

Sir Ringo what a star!

Best Ringo interview in a minute I haven't seen him go this in depth on The Beatles in a while
