If he was the drummer in Hermin's Hermits before they blew up, he would have been pissed for a few years and then gotten over it.

The lads had a contract to fulfill in Hamburg and had no drummer. Best had a kit and was willing to go but he never hung out with the group nor would he change his DA haircut to the French cut the other boys adopted. Each Beatle has commented endlessly as to how when Ringo joined their sound jelled. Martin recorded Ringo's creative drumming for several years.

And before you turn around and say, *"Oh, well, Paul didn't have to include any songs with Pete on them, but out of the goodness of his heart he did, to make things right with his old bandmate,"* that is false, because the whole purpose of the Anthology project was to publish the earliest Beatles recordings, most of which featured their original drummer, Pete. Sure, Paul could've denied Pete that payday, but in order to do so Paul would have had to put the kibash on the entire Anthology project, which would've denied Paul WAY more $$$ than Pete would've lost out on. Furthermore, don't try that other BS portion of the Paul-Fanboy narrative, that Paul called Pete with the news of Pete's payday, because he did not, Neil Aspinall did. Paul has still never spoken to Pete since the night before he was sacked in 1962, and Paul had zero to do with Pete getting paid for Anthology.

This is easily the best interview I've seen with Pete. Funnily enough, my Great Uncle had a similar story. He was a jockey in England during the 40's and 50's but only had moderate success due to his weight. When he was young, he was due to ride a very immature horse in the Derby called Pinza and was riding it in training every day. One morning the champion jockey of the day Sir Gordon Richards arrived at the stable to ride another much more fancied horse against my Uncle on Pinza and my Uncles horse flew past Sir Gordon's mount and won easily. Being the champion jockey, he asked my uncle the horses name and next thing you knew, Sir Gordon was riding it in the Derby and of course it won. My Uncle never really got over it and his career just drifted away. Had he won The Derby, he'd have had a very different life.

But Pete was fired for a good reason. He was a mediocre drummer, neither great nor terrible, but was backing what were arguably the three best singer/songwriters in rock history.

Re:paulnail...Pete was not a mediocre drummer which was attested to by people in Liverpool at the time that they were together... Gerry Marsden and Bill Harry to name just two of many. He gave them their sound at that time and Liverpool drummers tried to emulate his style. They could have had any drummer they wanted at that time (except Hutch who didn't like them), and do you really think that they, as aspiring musicians and after the pivotal gig at Litherland Town Hall, would keep a mediocre drummer? They would have replaced him in a heart beat. In John Lennon's opinion the Beatles were at their Best at that time.

I can't imagine what he went through after being fired from the Beatles. They had already paid their dues, and secured a record contract. Then to be let go, watch the others become the biggest celebrities the world has ever known, and create some of the most iconic songs & albums ever made!

Read this guys book.. Beatle:The Pete Best Story. It will transport you to the formative years in such a vivid way. Ive been to Liverpool three times I did not go to the Cashah Coffee Club (I didn't know then it was open) Read the beginning of the book SHOUT and take some notes. At least eat at the Hard Days Night Hotel. See where NEMS was. If you are there for a good amount of time go to the Walker Art Museum & Lady Lever Art Museum. And the last ultra large Gothic Cathedral built in the world Just beautiful. I ate high quality Indian food for the first time there in 1991 it blew us away but that place had just closed the last time we visited (2010)

I have read and heard interviews given by Pete Best and he does appear to speak fondly of Lennon. Best was interviewed by 4-4-2 Football Magazine and when asked who out of The Beatles would have made a good player, Best replied John Lennon as he had two good feet for controlling the ball.

Pete was born, Randolph Peter Scanland November 24, 1941 in Madras, British India. His biological father was marine engineer Donald Peter Scanland, who subsequently died during World War II. Best's mother was training to become a doctor in the service of the Red Cross when she met Johnny Best and they got married. Pete took his step dad's surname. During 1960, Neil Aspinall became good friends with the young Best and subsequently rented a room in the Bests' house. During one of the extended business trips of Best's stepfather, Aspinall became romantically involved with Mona and in 1962 a son, Vincent Roag Best, was born to Aspinall and Mona. Aspinall later became the Beatles' road manager and denied the story for years before publicly admitting that Roag Best was indeed his son.

Hes still a Beatle no matter what anyone says👍🏻 hes still cool. Im glad he got paid for the Beatles anthology music. Same with Chad, Chad will always be part of Nirvana. Chad's a brilliant drummer by the way. Ive always liked Chad's drumming better than Dave's.
