Some interesting facts about Ringo.... •Ringo's favorite animals are frogs and cats. •During his time in the Beatles, Ringo would often tune his drum set differently for every song so it can be hard to replicate it. •Ringo sold his 1964 Ludwig Super Classic Black Oyster Pearl drum set for $2.2 million in 2015. He used this drum set for albums, Help and Rubber Soul. •During the White Album sessions in 1968, John Lennon gifted Ringo with his Rickenbacker 325c64 1996 Rose Morris. Ringo sold this guitar at an auction for $800,000 in 2015. •It is rumored that George gifted Ringo his 1963 Gretsch G6119 Tennessee Rose. But the story is the guitar was stolen from an EMI closet in 1968 and never seen again. •Ringo often preferred to sing Boys instead of Act Naturally due to his limited voice range. •In 1968, Ringo walked off during the White Album sessions due to arguing. When he came back, The Beatles covered his drum set in flowers as a welcome back gift. •Ringo was left handed but used a right handed drum set. •Ringo voiced Thomas the Tank Engine. •The Beatles couldn't hear themselves play in their concerts due to the screaming girls. It is said that they kept their tempo from Ringo's drumming. But Ringo couldn't hear the playing, so he kept his tempo by looking at John's movement.

It's really something to me that someone as humble as he is was part of something as big The Beatles. You'd think by now he'd have a massive ego and would just be totally over the whole thing, but he's just as sweet and free spirited as he was back then.

[@sarahlazzarotto4274]

I think it helped that there was barely any social media (twitter, instagram, etc). When he got to interact with fans, it was in person. The most media coverage was the radio or a slot on television. nowadays, "celebrities" get thousands of 'likes' on a photo and it can easily inflate an ego. He was also big in a time where it was the coolest thing to be humble and love everyone. "all you need is love".

[@violetsnotviolence]

Sarah English Very true. Nothing is off limits now, and it puts a performer in the spotlight 24/7. That kind of attention can be addictive I think. Also, I think that the fact that the time period musically was so different has something to do with it. You had to have a talent of some sort to stand out plus you had to work your ass off to get the public's attention. Now it's who looks the hottest in a stage costume or who has the biggest following on Twitter.

[@sarahlazzarotto4274]

violetsnotviolence I agree. also, I hate that all the little Justin Bieber fans think he's way bigger than the Beatles. The fact that the Beatles were known worldwide without the use of twitter and facebook is HUGE and they don't even realize because they've never lived in a world where this amount of social media didn't exist. It's sad really. The Beatles paved the way for modern artists. I got to watch the 50th anniversary of The Beatles on Ed Sullivan with my parents (they remember watching it 50 years ago) and I cried. The Beatles mean the world to me.

natalieloves13 John was a real asshole in real life =/ That is so sad, because I grew up likstening to them, my dad's a HUGE fan, and to grow up by their songs and find out the ugly truth about someone as iconic as John Lennon is really sad. I remember his older son (Julian) saying John was the reason he never wanted to be a father, can you imagine that? He preached so much about love and respect and peace... but didn't apply it to his daily life. I still think John is a legend and he's a genius in many ways, but it just sucks to know what was behind it.

[@voicetube]

My quick meeting Ringo story: Even though quick, this is indeed true: I'm thinking it must've been around 1981 or so (when I was still riding a motorcycle everywhere and hadn't gotten a car yet) and I was stopped at a stoplight, at (if I'm not mistaken) or very close to the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Laurel Canyon in LA/Hollywood (if you were to go to Google maps you would see that Laurel Canyon goes north and Cahuenga Boulevard goes South, at that point). There to my left is a beautiful convertible - a black (I think that was the color) Mercedes 450 SL (one of my favorite cars of the era) and so I look to see who the driver is and ... damned if it isn't Ringo Starr! To his right in the passenger seat was his wife at the time, Barbara Bach (I think at that time I may have recognized her from the James Bond film she was in). I gave a nod and maybe a little wave and said, "Hi" (their top was down and I was on a motorcycle's - we were both "convertible") and he gave me a little nod and a wave I think may have said hi back ... and right about then, the light turned green… ... And there is my true Ringo story. Talk about an indelible memory!

[@jamesclendon4811]

He's one of the most famous, successful, and beloved entertainers in history--how exactly is he underrated?

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

Ringo is the best. Iconic drummer (and I've been a drummer for 60+ years), and just an all-around cool guy.

[@allymayful]

How sweet is this man? It should be remembered that the Beatles were a cultural revolution as much as they were a musical revolution. Ringo was 100 percent part of their impact on cultural change in the UK, beginning the relaxation of many pommy taboos. And the rest of the world caught on quick too. Amazing times. So love the memories and Y T for making it possible to revisit.

[@searchlight18]

[@nicolassmith8940]

Hello friend, how're you doing today??

[@davesuiter]

Ringo was a working professional before the other Beatles. He was the oldest and known to the others as very smart, witty and lovable. Don't ever underestimate the quick tongued Ringo. He overcame serious medical adversity as a young person.

[@evomoralesCO]

+GTown Dave Isn't he the same age as John?

[@davesuiter]

evomoralesCO THE BEATLES Formed: 1957, Liverpool, England; Disbanded 1970 Members: 1) George Harold Harrison, lead guitar, vocals (born Liverpool, England, 25 February 1943; died Los Angeles, California, 29 November 2001); 2) John Winston (later changed to Ono) Lennon, rhythm guitar, harmonica, vocals (born Liverpool, England, 9 October 1940; died New York, 8 December 1980); 3) James "Paul" McCartney, bass, vocals (born Liverpool, England, 18 June 1942); 4) Ringo Starr, drums (Richard Starkey Jr., born Dingle, England, 7 July 1940). Former members: 5)Peter "Pete" Best, drums (born Liverpool, England, 24 November 1941); 6)Stuart "Stu" Sutcliffe, bass (Stuart Fergusson Victor Sutcliffe, born Edinburgh, Scotland, 23 June 1940; died Hamburg, West Germany, 10 April 1962). As you can see, Ringo was about 3 months older than John. I did not list Yoko Ono's vital statistics in the interest of world peace and because she wasn't a Beatle. Many find Joko's very present to be offensive; I have no comment.

[@evomoralesCO]

GTown Dave Like I said, they were the same age. I knew both were born in 1940 and that McCartney was born in 42.

+Agent Orange one of my favourite beatles songs Rain is a ringo song and its FANTASTIC

[@ComedyLoverGirl]

+Vito Guttilla Exactly. And someone who was reliable and methodical and skilled with a low-key personality like Ringo was what the Beatles needed for a drummer. One of the reasons why they gave Pete Best the sack wasn't just because he wasn't good enough at drumming, but also because he was arrogant and didn't get along with the others.

[@Sellary]

He has such British humour I love it. I watched a behind the scenes of making the Cirque du Soleil show LOVE (highly recommended - it's amazing!) and they talked to Paul and he said something along the lines of "I'm one of FOUR GUYS in the WORLD who can say they were a Beatle. And now I can appreciate it as a work of art, it's done, we're finished. I can look back and say, 'Wow, we really were f**king great.'" I thought it was a fantastic quote.

[@SweetDreams706]

There will NEVER be another Beatles! Congratulations to Ringo!

[@NKRevolution]

There will never be a band as popular as them but there will be and arguably has been a band that is better (just my opinion)

[@SweetDreams706]

N.K. Revolution Well okay N.K., I respectfully disagree...particularly given the sheer volume + variety of songs written/produced by them, for themselves & others, within a relatively short span of time...then there's the influence they had, literally on the world...groundbreaking in many respects...your word 'popular' just doesn't do them justice...in my opinion. You say there's been a 'better' band...you just know I have to ask who LOL!

[@NKRevolution]

SweetDreams706 The smiths, nirvana, radiohead (maybe) the list goes on

[@OkOk-sn2ly]

N.K. Revolution I didn't even know they existed until you said so... whether you think they might be more popular. People aren't going to remember those bands generations from now. The Beatles however? Every generation will and has at least heard of them. It's quite simple really

[@user-uo2sl5us8f]

SweetDreams706 *Pete Best has left the chat*

[@shedjammer87]

Ringo imitating John's posture was spot on ...made me laugh!

[@xTheFly]

When asked if he's excited about being inducted into the rock and roll Hall of Fame... "I'm only doing it for Paul". I honestly believe him. How do you not love this guy? A good musician, good beatle and a good man. He's grown to be my favourite Beatle.

[@Heretic_Hero]

"Hey ringo" is my fave part of the whole interview lol

[@huraxdax_2467]

See? That's what i mean. If Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, or even Adele come on the show, you'll always have some haters down in the comments. Not here. Literally NO hate comment about ringo. So sad that modern musicians are brought down so badly. There will never be a united fanbase like the beatle fanbase.

[@SidneyIam]

There's actually some hate if you scroll down enough, goes to show that nothing can please everyone :/

[@lolzly1187]

what I've noticed is that, when you're a musician that's new to the public's eye, you frequently get massive hate from them. But once you get older and older, the lesser hate you get and the more praise you get. I don't know, it's just me.

[@huraxdax_2467]

Ly De torres It's just you being right

[@scionofgrace]

Ly De torres I wonder if the haters just find other people to hate? :-) Ringo still has haters: people who say he didn't deserve his fame, that he wasn't actually good, etc. (Which, if the haters actually studied music, they'd know better.) But after a few decades, if a person hasn't proved themself an idiot/jerk/egoist/etc, the hate doesn't stick. And I think it helps that Ringo's a genuinely nice guy.

[@lolzly1187]

scionofgrace, I think in ringo's state, it's because of bandwagon. Look at Nickelback. People hate them because the Internet hates them.

[@monicachuidian-riveracalderon]
