ehhhh... why is ringo being inducted?? The beatles are already inducted. Ringo's solo career was so significant that he needs to have his own place in the hall? His 2 top 40 songs?? LOL. Denny Laine made an interesting point about Wings... something along the lines of; Wings was a McCartney project. Was never a band, and therefor shouldn't be inducted into to hall separately from Paul. Makes sense. And I also don't think Ringo Starr deserves his own spot separate from the beatles.

All the other three Beatles were also inducted as performers, but Ringo was inducted as what used to be called the sideman’s award. So he’s being honored as an influential drummer, not for his solo career.

Even worse, as an early-born he came to England without a shirt on his back and couldn't speak the language.

[@Picnicl]

ephiebearTV, any supposed pretence was a natural offshoot of parts of their talent combined with being Liverpudlian baby boomers, confident in a new age that partly lionised the north. The three songwriters never spoke in detail about their intellectual process. You've maybe filled in the blanks to make clever Liverpudlians equal pretentious. Maybe you'd like to chuck away Maxwell's Silver Hammer or Tomorrow Never Knows for having some supposedly pretentious lyrics. Whacking a drum with a stick and only writing 1 song isn't conductive to being pretentious in the company of the other three.

One thing for sure, when you listen to their studio work Ringo never seems to screw up. Solid every time. And most important - he was intuitive. Back in my band days, a drummer that could predict the direction of a song or take eye cues was gold. Ringo is gold.

[@EchoesDaBear]

That's what so many people who slag on Ringo seem to miss. They guy was a human metronome. Sure he wasn't flashy or ridiculously fast - he didn't need to be! He gave every song exactly what it needed. He did with a 3-piece drum set (plus cymbals) what some drummers fail to do with so much more. I can't compare him to my idol Neil Peart - at least not in technical sense - but I will argue vehemently with anyone that Ringo was (is) and excellent drummer!!

[@zoltanvarga8540]

Ringo never played on early Beatles albums. Paul made a joke of him this time.

[@EltonoutoftheclosetOfficial]

Darren Helmond Hi Darren, It's very common for professional drummers to be 'human metronomes'. The idea that drummers can't keep steady time really only applies to unprofessional/unrehearsed drummers. Ringo's not as steady as you might think. For example, listen to the first 30 seconds of, say, 'Dizzy Miss Lizzy', then the last 30 seconds. But that's OK... that's what humans do. Still, my point is that Ringo is a competent drummer, and a very likeable fellow, but revered only because of his association with the Beatles.

[@DatBoi-mo9vc]

@@EltonoutoftheclosetOfficial you're kind of a prick

[@ianbalish3852]

Elton Out Of The Closet Hi Elton, If you don’t think Ringo is an amazing drummer, you obviously have no musical knowledge, and you should shut your trap about things you know nothing about :) The only people who slag on Ringo are people who have no knowledge on music, and you obviously have no taste if you think Ringo is only “competent”.

Ujjwal Kumar Jha what are you talking about? Pete Best was horrible. When the beatles were recording as backing musicians for Tony Sheridan in 1961, there’s a famous story about how they literally had to take away his kick drum because his timing was so awful. By the end of Pete’s career with the beatles, they just kept him in the band because his mother, Mona, kept their money in check for them. Once they found Ringo, they immediately wanted Pete out. He wasn’t a good fit for the band, even refusing to get the classic beatle mop top haircut. Once Ringo joined, thats when they really became phenomenal and took off as a band.

[@TomboTime]

People like to make fun of Ringo left and right with fake quotes from John and comparison to the other Beatles, but here's an undeniable fact. In the beginning, Ringo INTIMIDATED the rest of the guys. He wasn't a starry eyed little boy that the lads gave a chance out of pity. Ringo's demeanor, personality and expertise as a song drummer was already making him the most renowned member in the group for a time. Ringo is the pinnacle of an efficient, reliable drummer. He shows up, gives the song the exact rhythmic hook it needs and doesn't overstate himself. A drummer is the heart of the band and Ringo was the heart of the Beatles.

[@FKMDC]

Ringo joined the band wearing a full beard and messy hair and smoked all the time. The rest of the band was afraid of him at first until he shaved the beard, wore the mop top, and showed his friendly personality. And his epic drumming too of course.

Tombocartoons PREACH 👏 People should read John's last interview for Playboy : he clearly express his respect and admiration for nobody except Ringo. In this interview John clearly said that he didn't care about Paul's or George's solo careers but for Ringo it's different: he wanted his talent to be fairly exploited and felt involved in his career since he wrote several songs for Ringo before his death ❤️ I don't know what people need more

[@nicholasmaxwell9899]

Anyone who questions Ringo's historical significance in the world of drumming needs to listen to Paperback Writer and Rain. He revolutionized the drums with those two songs. It was a complete break from anything remotely resembling the "Mersey Beat" and drove the band and rock in general into the direction of what we now call classic rock and hard rock. Even Lars Ulrich from Metallica points to those songs as huge influences on him. Ringo was not simply a happy go lucky guy keeping 4/4 time for the two greatest songwriters of all time. He was a very innovative drummer in his own right.

The peace and love one can see (and feel) coming out of Ringo, in Peter Jackson's documentary 'Get Back', is quite amazing. And 'they say' George was the 'spiritual one'. Ringo didn't like India and all the stuff around it, but I can say (having lived in India for 5 years and), being on the path of Yog, as a student for thirty years, and a teacher/facilitator for twenty, Ringo is quite 'the spiritual one'. Other thing I love about The Beatles, and got the understanding a couple of decades ago, is why they were so easily connected to 'the masses'. Well, it turns out that all four of them are born on a Mayan Calendar 'portal day'. There are some 'portal days' on that calendar each year, but I don't think there are so many 'groups' where all members are born on such a day....

Hey Paul I totally love you for this because you sent that postcard to him saying you're the best drummer in the world ❤️

[@Nestor123057]

I don't know why, but I was smiling, from ear to ear, throughout this induction speach. Maybe because they were such a huge part of my life experience. I remember like it was yesterday, sitting in a darkened living room, that Sunday night, in February, 1964, watching the Ed Sullivan show, and the world, literally changed overnight.

Ringo was the glue that held the Beatles together the last few years.

Paul’s kiss on Ringo’s neck is so adorable, I have that with all of my best friends and relatives and I felt so relatable to them in that way!

Legend showing respect and true genuine friendship for many decades to another legend. RESPECT

[@Jaseph2]

I really enjoyed that speech and you could tell Ringo appreciated the heart felt words. But as many have said he deserved it much sooner. The man is a legend and still at 83 is putting smiles on people’s faces.

I grew up with the Beatles, and heard a lot of disparaging remarks about Ringo, to which I always responded to: “and how exactly would you change the percussion to improve Sgt. Pepper’s or Revolver?” Flashy? No. Professional? The epitome. The Beatles wouldn’t be the Beatles without Ringo.

[@anngrimes1918]

Well said!

[@teachone2261]

no doubt because of the ROTTEN way Pete Best was treated . . there was anger towards them yes . . . the ego-shattering chanting girls "we want Pete" surely got him canned . . .

Aww, man, we can listened to Paul speak all day with his wonderful anecdotes 🥰 Ringo getting emotional when Paul spoke lovingly of his parents and of George and John😭. I love how they always mentioned that all the Beatles were close, always together sharing the same rooms or vehicles.

Ringo has been literally wearing sunglasses 24/7 since like 1998...I wonder if its a way to hide his age. The beard/sunglasses/hair dye/maybe hairpiece? does hide it well

I read somewhere that Ringo needs those glasses because he's gone sensitive to light

from wikipedia page: Ringo Starr is the first inductee to be inducted twice in different categories (The Beatles were inducted in the performers category in 1988 and Starr was inducted as a solo artist in the Award for Musical Excellence category in 2015) This makes me happy.
