Paul McCartney Inducts Ringo Starr at the 2015 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony 

I think they were inducted as a group earlier, this was probably for his solo career.

thats literally the song I was thinking of while reading the comments, his drums were incredible on "Something"

his drumming is original and unique

Something is probably the best pop tune ever written.

Paul made sure that Ringo was inducted

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.

Ringo doesnt need the RnRHOF, Rock n Roll Hall of Fame needs Ringo!

celebtrvl see? Paul isn't a good guy. He's a great guy.

theo worthington she died in 1998 😔😔😔

@mhffc slap you about

@mhffc sometimes your spouse needs a good slappin

mhffc he hit her ONCE!!! Never did it again after that. And the only reason he didn’t bond with Julian in the early years was because he was too busy with the Beatles. He tried improve himself, and to say he “got what he deserved” is horrible.

Some people just like to hold on to negative shit for their own payback material.

It's an oldie but a goodie

Love that song ❤️

Even worse, as an early-born he came to England without a shirt on his back and couldn't speak the language. These were tremendous disadvantages anywhere at that time, but especially in Liverpool, where discrimination against the early-born was so great that they were not allowed to hold jobs, drive a car, drink alcohol, or even vote.

Yeah, and he was born in Liverpool, because he wanted to be near his mother when it happened.

I immediately thought of George singing “I was so young when I was born”

That's about the most perfect comment.

I'd be honored if some Beatles fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of BLACKBIRD and PENNY LANE in tribute to 2 of the many genius compositions written by Sir Paul McCartney. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and everybody stay safe.

The real question is why the Hall of Fame waited so long to honor itself.

@@transition6 Oh my god not that shitty theory again.

I agree, Ringo is alive

@@rytvdinners5064 glad we're in agreement on that!

Lol

Yo was Yoko crying?

@@maxfarley2519 I think so. She and John really did seem to love each other ♡

The REAL John's widow was CYN.

@@ChivaInvencible whats your point man? she was the first, but you can't say such thing as the real widow of somewhere else

Yup. The rest were fighting egos

Ringo was the glue in the band. He wanted them to remain together, the most, as he most enjoyed the camaraderie. But, in the end, it wasn't enough

Probably because he was on the most drugs lol

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.

Wayne J actually, didn’t Paul want them to stay together the most? Ringo actually got fed up and left temporarily.

Not during Beatlemania

@ShadowPuppet14 taking? HAHAHA LOL

No, when a Beatle talk, the people rock their little jewelry

John: SHUT UP!!! Paul: oop.

But when they sing... everyone just scream 😂

"Oh, I found my drummer, he's got to be my drummer." When I went to the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany, in the Eighties, I had all of this in mind.

Did their appreciation really start when before Ringo sat in for Pete, John, George , Paul , Ringo & Wally made a record in Hamburg.

💝💞🕊

It’s a great comment!

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.

Totally agree.

They ASKED him to join the band, not the other way around. That says enough.

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

That's why he fit The Beatles so well. The band as a whole was so incredibly efficient with EVERYTHING, from their vocals to their songwriting to their instrumentation. George's guitar parts were very efficient, as were McCartney's bass lines. Ringo really was a perfect fit.

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!!

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

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.

@@EltonoutoftheclosetOfficial you're kind of a prick

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”.

yeah they had garbage Pete Best and knew Ringo was the missing link

@@darwinblinks Uh Pete Best wasn't garbage

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.

@@ianbalish3852 He wasn't versatile and brought the same fill to pretty much everything. Obviosuly he doesn't hold a candle to Ringo, but if that automatically makes a drummer garbage then I have some news for you

Ujjwal Kumar Jha what good drummer “brings the same fill to pretty much everything”? I mean you’ve basically said yourself why Pete was awful... he couldn’t even keep time. Beatles hated his drumming. They just needed SOMEONE to be their drummer so that they could get the gig to Hamburg.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K4ud1vuRJ2s.html

yes he does

Best part about Anthology 1 was Pete got a boatload of royalty money for his performances.

@Sid Patankar can you imagine how it feels to see all these great musician yet you are above all of them.. What a life

Sad to think about. These guys are literally living Mythological Musicians among us!!! We need to protect them at all costs.

And now in 2021 I'm here watching and reading this. Wow so much more they have seen. And surviving a pandemic

@Sid Patankar not exactly. Everyone has their upside down. Nobody is perfect.

@@naufaladen2401i love the Beatles as much as anyone but you can’t really say they were “above” these soloists🤣 the Beatles individually were nothing compared to most of the soloist you listed. The Beatles were great as a band though. But their solo careers can’t compete with Freddie mercury, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Stevie wonder etc

😍

Well said

With all that said, why did it take so long for this event to happen?

Not to forget his drums in 'She Said She Said'!

@@patrickstar8504 and the fills in A Day in the Life.

Agree ! What is also worth mentioning is that Ringo developed into a very good song writer after The Beatle broke up ! Also, until The Beatles turned up, I believe there was not too many drummers who would be used as a lead singer ! Ringo's profile encouraged many drummers to be lead vocalist in different bands, eg The Eagles etc

The Beatle- music being so diverse,makes Ringo a great and versatile drummer.

You said everything!

agreed. I see it as beneath them especially in light of some of the people that have been inducted who are NOT WORTHY.

@@jv-ep2tc 👏👏👏

Yeah, the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame is a joke. I don't even know why it's called that when there are several rappers inducted. Hell, Notorious B.I.G. is slated to be inducted this year.

GreenDay1981 why are rappers in it? Wrong genre dude xD. Why don’t they make their own?

Yes, absolutely

But Ringo was Paul's drummer, bass guitar and drums must go together for a band to be really good.

@@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq they should make a genre dedicated to those two instruments

​@@sackydzNGwouldn't that be cool.

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

It’s probably just a fashion statement

Could’ve fooled me. He looks to be aging well.

@@MrBuffalo2 just a curious question

Stop,he's already 80 of course he'll age

Paul McCartney is Ric Flair inspiration ahahah

Maybe it's a tick?

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....

I love him, too!

Republik Ritme I meant as solo artists and Beatles

Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best are also Beatles. OK, if they'd decided to change the band's name when Ringo joined (like The Small Faces turning in to The Faces), I might not be concentrating on that but they didn't. Pete Best most famously was the drummer on Love Me Do. Since the 'Fab Four' became former Beatles in 1970, they join Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best in being former members of The Beatles.

@@Picnicl Well that's stupid.

ksfhhnfan thanks

He was inducted as a Beatle pretty much at the beginning. This is for his solo career.

Well said!

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 . . .

@@teachone2261 if only Best had been a consummate professional like Ringo. He wasn’t.

How is his drumming overrated?

Here's the thing about Ringo. He was the perfect drummer for the greatest rock band of them all. He was tasteful, understated and rock solid. Even on crazy tracks like Tomorrow Never Knows, Come Together and Rain, where John's peculiar feel for rhythm could be a bit off kilter, Ringo could nail it. Listen to other drummers, even very good drummers, who just can't quite get the feel of those songs. Ringo was and is a master of the space between beats. He's not afraid to just let it hang there, and by giving those greatest of songs that sort of rhythmic space, rather than filling them up, Beatles songs breathe in a peculiar way. The fact is that just about every drummer I've ever read praises Ringo, and view him as one of the fathers of modern Rock drumming. Before him you either had anonymous figures behind the band, or clever showboaters like buddy Rich, but you were either a nobody or essentially a drumming magician. Ringo became rock's first super star drummer, whose admirers weren't just other drummers in the business, but ordinary people, regular fans. He elevated the profession, and with the good humor, basic dignity and a gentleness and vulnerability. He stood toe to toe with John, Paul and George, and there is simply no question he belonged there.

*He's never been 'overrated' where 'Rock' & 'Pop' are concerned, which is all he's ever played* *He doesn't 'do fills' or go off into 'solo riffs' or endless counter-part 'paradiddles'...that's for the 'Bakers' and 'Moons' in music* As Dave Grohl says "When you can get kids to 'get-up and dance' from your drums alone, that makes you a *"Certified Bad-Ass Motherfucker" on a kit"*

Joe Lowe bc Ive often heard ppl claim that he was an all-time great with top level skill. Dont get me wrong, Im a fan of his, but Ringo is pretty limited in terms of skill. He made the most out of what he can do, but his peers like Bonham and Ginger Baker could play Ringo’s stuff blindfolded, drunk, with a broken arm...where Ringo couldn’t do their stuff justice. Theres a painful video of Ringo playing Rosanna with the all-star band. He had to SEVERELY dumb down the beat and removed the shuffle bc he’s a very simplistic player

Gerry Nightingale Im a Ringo fan, and he was PERFECT for The Beatles. Im just saying his technical skill is very limited but many ppl talk about him like he’s a wunderkind. Check out how he had to seriously dumb down “Rosanna” with his All Star band. He can do straightforward basic pop-rock beats. He cant play a basic shuffle to save his life. He made the most out of what little he can do

@@thomasthompson4303 no he's not dead he still alive and ringo too

@@thomasthompson4303 People who believe that Paul didn't die are stupid. While those, like you, who believe that 1) Paul died in an accident and the truck driver called the staff of the Beatles (why did he know them, did he call them with a cell phone?) They made disappeared the accident tacks t and Paul's body (they will have at least two hours of time) without that in London 9,000,000 inhabitants at the time) have noticed nothing. 2) believe that after the family of Paul (his father his brother), his girlfriend Jane, John, George, Ringo, George Martin, Brian Epstein and childhood friends of Paul, instead of crying Paul's death , found a double, accepting a perfect stranger 3) that find a double equal to Paul (height, eye color, etc) and who can sing like Paul, play 5 instruments as left-handed like Paul, and compose better songs than, was possible 4) that after having done all this effort to hide the death of Paul, the Beatles have revealed his death with subliminal messages, ... such a genius! take your imaginary nobel prizes because If you believe in this rubbish you can also believe Santa Claus and Cinderella.

@@enesar6797 not only that he did his homework he knows exactly the night they met Ringo without missing a beat no pun intended! Someone as famous as Paul McCartney if he died in a horrible car wreck to hide that and bring in a guy who is an exact replica and to have the exact talent , him being a LEFT HANDED guitarist is very rare itself it was genius for them to pull this off , and his gf didnt mind being with a lookalike!
