@@poots605 . Agree but John is from new castle England as well, that's why those two look the real thing since both are British and the other two American.
Plus like Gavin..., Adam too is also from England which helps give The Fab Four the Authentic British Beatles look and feel that they need.. in order to embody The Beatles mind, body, spirit, heart and soul 🤘
@@poots605 What Utter drivel. I have known Adam Hastings for about 8 years. Had a drink and dinner with him in my home a few times...A fake nose? You are talking utter crap.
Ron you did a fine job picking your replacement. Enjoy your “on stage” retirement. Hope to still see you in the back ground. You have built one of the best, if not the best Beatles tribute bands of all time!!!
@@delainepep22 I believe Ron is back on board, Ron required some time off, Adam is a great choice, but sadly just a fill in. It is Ron's project, so he needs fill in's from time to time, for all members of 'The Fab Four'. There are quite a few fillers for this band, (the show must go on) and all the fillers are very good musician's, and if you look at all the Beatle tribute band's there are, you will notice these fill in's for 'The Fab Four', in their various bands. Andy fills in for a few on bass, so sometimes he isn't available for 'The Fab Four'. Their drummer does the same, and fills in. Haven't seen Ron or Gavin filling in with any other Beatle tribute bands. But what has happened with Adam Hastings? I know he was doing a John Lennon tribute show, but as 'The Bootleg Beatles' have a more permanent John Lennon on board, I don't see Adam with that lineup. A few times yes, but not lately. They were auditioning for a John Lennon, but that was how they got Adam. 'Hard Days Night' Beatle's tribute band, have two McCartney bassists who are very good, 2 George Harrison guys, both very good, & a permanent John Lennon, who does fill in with 'The Fab Four' on occasions. So do the both Paul McCartney bassists both command the bass left handed, and both great vocalists, sometime if Gavin isn't available, there is a George replacement filler. I believe he is the guy who played George Harrison with 'The Fab Four' before Gavin came in, so somehow, he is still involved, for the 'Wings' tribute show, along with Ron. Sometimes they bring this guy in as an 'Eric Clapton' now and then. They're all very good, not an easy task pretending to be a Beatle, a huge challenge, I would think.
Strange how these 4 guys, all good musicians and actually resembling each of their characters, managed to come together. I see they spent some time getting the mannerisms down as well as they do, also. Impressive!
In reference to my previous comment, I suppose it's not really 'strange' that these four got together...someone simply wanted to start a Beatles tribute band, advertised for adequate musicians who resembled them, auditions were done, and after deciding on a group of guys that best fit the minimum requirements - it was a go. As more suitable candidates came forward, adjustments were made (in the realm of fairness, loyalty, possible legality, etc.). So, it's not actually 'strange' at all.
david hollingsworth if you’re curious, originally Ron McNeil (who is not playing here) wanted to start a tribute band after he saw Ardy Sarraf (Paul) playing in a local McCarteny tribute. The two of them joined up and just found some other freinds who were interested in the area. Many members have changed sense then though. The only original member still playing is Ardy.
I grew up in the 60,s when the Beatles first got started. Remember them on The Ed Sullivan Show. These guys got it nailed, they look like them and sound like them. Incredible
These guys look and sound so much like the Beatles it's hard to believe. Even their playing styles and mannerisms are spot on. Absolutely the best Beatles tribute band I've seen...
I showed this to my sister and she was really impressed and I told her "Yeah, I'm seeing them in March." and she was like "How is that possible? How are you seeing The Beatles?" And I just looked at her for a moment waiting for her to laugh and say it was a joke but she was dead serious! She actually thought they were The Beatles!
I know this is a 2 year ago comment, but it kinda got me in, the comment could be right either way. Back in the day of 'The Beatles' , they were referred to by the media as (The Fab Four) hence where these guys got the name from, everyone referred to them as (The Fab 4) so this is my reference, both comments are correct. A lot of the Beatles tribute bands do use something in reference to the accual Beatles, so that people and fans know what all the fuss is about. The same with Elvis Presley, (he's not here,) never will be again, his memory is kept a live by all the impersonators, some resemble him a little bit, they dress like him, try to sing like him, try to move like he did. (so is,) and will remain to be, people trying to be 'The Beatles'. Some are very good, but as we who grow old, and pass, the younger generation's who weren't around at the time of Beatlemania, will never know it, or understand it (what all the fuss was about) but they will know the Beatles legacy, their music, the songs, how they looked, dressed, hair do's, fashion styles, the varying period's they went through, (and took us, the people) with them (manic hysterical, mania) we grew through. No one can describe it. You had to be there, but you younger generation's will only get a sense of it. If the Tribute shows can try to do one thing, is convey a sense of what John, Paul, George and Ringo did to the world. Go see, look at these young bands giving tribute to the greatest Rock band ever, because these bands do get very close to the music, obviously study it and listen closely to how it was. Let these tribute acts transform your 3 or 4 hours, that you experience the music, because the music, is what 'The Beatles' were truly about. Yes, I know they aren't for everybody, that is fair enough, 'The Beatles' weren't for everybody back then, it was a handful, Elvis was the same, only some of us went for it. (Buy the album's,) listen to those, especially listen to the Beatles live at The Star Club in Germany, with Ringo on drums, you get the real sense of the energy projected. Great Job to all the Tribute shows you set yourselves a hard task, and manage to achieve your goal. Well done.
I close my eyes and they send me back to my time then. They are great! I'm glad they didi it! I'm now 72. I first saw them back in 1962. I was 12 .Wow !!!!!! That's 60 yrs ago! Damn!!!!!!!! Am I old!! I know every song they ever did, Even the voices!Two are dead and the other two are still alive! Paul & Ringo! George popped a birddie at me while on the NYC Meat wagon on their outs from Shea Stadium! When I die it will all leave with me like in a suitcase! Beatles Forever!
Its amazing, I remember back in 1981 there was a cover band in Connecticut called "Apple" they were great, just like this group, played all The Beatles songs, and did some songs after the break up. Wow, 40 years later they are still covering The Beatles. I know they are the Worlds Greatest Band Ever. But, with the Internet and sites like RU-vid, you can actually see The Beatles themselves, Why look and listen to Kopy Kats? Maybe to see LIVE, to see how it would've been to see The Beatles. But that gets old. Like Elvis Kopy Kats, its a matter of time before this stops. *LONG LIVE THE BEATLES* 🚶🏿♂🚶🏿♂🚶🏿♂🚶🏿♂
That's not such a bad oops. Years ago when Michael Amadore played George they counted off the song "And This Bird Can Sing". It's a two part guitar line but he did it well by himself except the lights went out and he started the song on the wrong fret because he couldn't see anything. It wasn't his fault...all of a sudden the lights went off.
These guys are pretty good but the best tribute band I ever saw was called (initially) 1964 as the Beatles, but later changed their name to "1964 the Tribute" (I think for legal reasons).
Especially the guy playing Ringo, and the guy playing George, I agree, '1964 The Tribute', we're possibly the best tribute Beatle show, they had an energy that came close to the accual Beatles. Since their bassist passed, and they have got rid of the 2 playing George and Ringo they do lack what they once had. What ever happened to these 2 players? I did spot the guy playing Ringo in another Beatle tribute band more recently, can't remember who they were, but he is a good drummer, who sings.
quintellectual if Ardy ever leaves, he’ll probably be replaced by his stand-in Neil Candelora. He has Paul’s height, his mannerisms, his look and sound. I’ve seen him this year. He is awesome.
Wow!- the guys playing Ringo and George really look like their counterparts did in the "HELP!" film. Ardy and Adam resemble 1964 era Paul and John. Just an observation.
Originally, Ardy (Paul) was actually right handed, but he practiced to play left handed, so that it will look good. Because it would be weird if “Paul” and “George” are both right handed XD
If the Paul from the Studio Two tribute improves his act, I feel like he would be a decent replacement or a sub for Ardy, since Ardy's impersonation is almost spot-on.
