Ten Interesting Facts About The Other Beatles 

Would you all like to do another Q & A sometime soon? You can as me questions here before I mention it in my next video, That way you know I'll see it!

"And Paul lighting a condom on fire." So are we just gonna ignore this?

I love the Beatles - John lemon - George parisol - Ringo stone - Paul mcCharmley

The first time I heard the phrase "the 5th Beatle", I thought it was referring to George Martin. Writing and directing the orchestral parts of the music was a hell of a contribution. "Yesterday" and "Elenor Rigby" could not have been pulled off by the Teddy Boys of the day.

The other Beatles sounds like some Coraline Beatles spin off

Chas Newby was my maths teacher. He didnt say it often, but he did say he'd played with/been part of the Beatles. Naturally no-one believed him. But on the very last day of his long tenure at the school he took a few of us to one side and showed us a Beatles photo anthology book, pointing to the very picture you used here in this vid. He also leant me a Beatles guitar tab book! Hope he is still rockin, he rode a motorbike and was a super chill guy.

Never realised how much the beatles said "you know" Until I watched this video

Something I've always wondered is why is it usually "John, Paul, George and Ringo" in that order? Edit: thank you all for the replies

George: Eric, I'd love it if you played on my song! Eric: I can't do that, I'm not a Beatle. I'll play on your wife, tho.

I like how everyone else gets their own video and then there’s *The other beatles*

When you set a condom on fire and get deported #relatable

Don't use the word "Foursome" at this era xD

"setting a condom on fire to illuminate inside the club to retrieve their equipment" WTF?! 😅😂🤣

Imagine a band consist of : - Andy White on drum - Klaus Voorman on bass - Eric Clapton on guitar - Billy Preston on keyboard Any idea for the band's name?

The other Beatles were Stuart Sutcliffe and pete Best;the others were "Boys you're gonna "Quarry" those "men"".

There’s early 1960s images of Pete Best at a gig in Liverpool out front as lead singer of The Beatles with Paul on drums and George playing Paul’s left handed bass upside down... Pete’s popularity in their hometown coupled with the fact that his mother, Mona Best, pushed hard for her son’s advancement to stardom is pretty much dismissed, ignored or forgotten...in another set of circumstances, they would have ended up as Pete’s backing backing band and it all goes to prove that they were going nowhere, man... without Ringo

NASA beamed 'Across the Universe' into space. If the aliens ever hear it, it will be the first human song they listened to.

You forgot George Martin playing solos like in "In My Life." In addition, writing the orchestral parts in their music.

Billy Preston is amazing, his influence is clear after seeing the Get Back footage

I don't think any of these musicians (with the exception of Pete and Stu) could really be considered "Beatles" as they were never actual members of the band called The Beatles. Pete Shotton was in the Quarrymen, Andy White was a session drummer, Eric Clapton & Billy Preston were guest musicians, and Jimmy Nichol was a replacement drummer for a part of one tour.

when you zoomed in on chas’ face i screamed hahahahaha

Interesting, thank you. There were lots of session musicians that worked with the Beatles, of course, many of whom only got paid a few pounds union rate for work on records that made millions for the Fab Four. Many other musicians worked with the Beatles after they split, notably Elton John, who John Lennon liked very much. A personal favourite were the artists George worked with as 'The Travelling Wilberries', Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty.

2:47 that “y’know” is hilarious

Love your vids, always watch them soon as possible!

Yep, Billy Preston's input was so important to the music he played on. The immediate groove he brought was palpable. That high gospel element in Let it Be, to the downright rockin' soul groove on Don't let me Down, his input was phenomenal and elevated those Beatles songs to another level. Thanks for the list.

ISTR that Billy Preston was the only person to get an extra credit on a Beatles single - Get Back is credited "The Beatles with Billy Preston"

GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU! I'm glad you're making Beatles videos! Rock on, brother!

Wow amazing facts that I didn’t know ⁉️🤔Thanks for the little snippets 👌👌👌

Billy Preston also played on the Abbey Road album ("Something" & "I Want You"). And he contributed to Beatles solo material as well, including "I'm the Greatest" with Ringo, John and George. Maybe this goes without say, but you forgot to mention one "other Beatle"... George Martin. :)

You forgot Yoko who played creepy stare 🤣

We love your videos! We subscribed. Keep up the good work!

Even though I knew all this, it's ALWAYS nice to Refresh my Memory and for Others to hear this. Another Great Vid......🎸💚

That was a great video, I really enjoyed it. I knew about some of these folks but not everyone mentioned. Billy Preston was my favorite other Beatle btw!

Great video

Another informative and great upload, bhai. Thank you. 😄👍🙏

Great review of all the personnel. Thanks!

It’s fun to entertain the idea that Eric could’ve been a Beatle.

Very well structured. Thx. I recommend the Little River Band is worth a video. Tracing all the band members musical histories to get to where the did.

Another great video.

Good work mate!

If only Stuart was interested in music and was a very good musician, and if only Pete was a very good drummer like Ringo, there’s a possibility that we have five beatles conquer the world.

Here’s another interesting nugget about Pete Best. After he was sacked from the Beatles he put out his own album titled Best of The Beatles.

Well researched and well presented. Thank you.

Great job!

Mal Evans played the Anvil on Maxwell's Silver Hammer. He was the REAL 5th Beatle! :P

Pete best is an old friends uncle ,, then a few years later ,, met some dude who lived by me and his dad an ringo are cousins ,, he actualy got me ringos autograph on his album when he was in liverpool 👍

HOLY MUSIC !!!!!! WOW!!!!!! It took 40 + years for me to know about “The Other Beatles” WOW!!!! It’s amazing I knew about Billy and Pete Best playing with them but not he other guys ...fricking amazing... thank you very interesting video ....👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very informative. A must watch for every Beatles fan

5:06 is Ringo using the camera as an ashtray?

I literally went on youtube just to see if u posted and u did!

Awesome info. Thankyou

“George invited Billy to defuse tensions”. It is funny how there was always so much talk about those “tensions” and with Peter Jacksons documentary we now know that he just dropped by to say hello and they playfully asked him to play keyboard :)

After Ringo got hired some one asked John what he thought of his drumming. John said, he's not a great drummer, not even the best drummer in the Beatles. But he is a great Beatle.

Well-researched, well-presented. Top notch content right here.

This is very concise. I did not know some of this. Very well done.

I do love ur story of the Beatles! Great.

0:24 Anyone else think that guy on the far left kind of looks like the guy from the Mad! magazines?

John gave Pete Shotton enough money to start a grocery store in the 60s. Pete lost the store but John was trying to give him a good start.

was looking at the 60s and 70s ads loved it vvery memorable the music too

That was fantastic and to the point. So many Beatle facts that I never knew before. Don't you just hate those videos that take 5minutes to get started and are really about the narrator for the most part.

That's crazy how many guys were in and out of that great band

I remember,in the '70s, Billy Preston being called the 5th Beatle

Love these documentaries!

Cool, thank you man!

William contributed a lot to the Beatles after 1966. He remains a talented musician, song writer and great performer

Surely George Martin deserves a place on this list; he played on some sessions, I believe.

I was listening to let it be on my commute today and was wondering who was playing the organ, I knew Paul was on the piano and John on bass but Billy Preston's lines really add a ton to the songs he was in, I'd love to imagine a timeline where he became a Beatle, really an incredible musician

Awesome video !

hello 👋🏻 from Liverpool

Only the Beatles can make even the discarded band members be famous

Thanks again sir. I always enjoy learning something new. Have you ever considered doing something on The Ruttles? I thought it very clever and amusing. The way they made the songs Sound Beatleish without actually copying was brilliant.

This is a wonderful video and I've learned so much more about my favorite band. Thank you so much. Did you know Billy Preston is called the 5th Beatle in some circles?

I ABSOLUTELY want to listen to a record from Tony Sheridan and the Penises

Top 10 Facts on Billy Shears XDD

I saw George, Billy Preston and Ravi Shankar in Texas in 1974. That was my very first concert. Whatta night!!

That was fun!

I'd like to see a video on the various oddities on the Beatles songs. . For instance, John saying "shoot me" in "Come Together" and someone saying "Eh Oh~" at the beginning of "while my guitar gently weeps". One I've never heard is the odd transition in "I am the Walrus." that happens about two minutes in, just before "Sitting in my English Garden>>>', The edit in Strawberry Fields is so well known and talked about but there are many other odd transitions and chatter that made it on to records that I'd like to find out more about.

A few semi-forgotten "other" members of legendary bands that I can think of: The Rolling Stones: Ian Stewart (piano). Was removed from the band by their manager Andrew Loog Oldham, but became road manager and continued to play on the band's recordings. The Kinks: Mick Grace (guitar). Replaced Ray Davies on some dates of a tour in 1966 when Davies was suffering from a nervous breakdown. Dave sang lead during that tour. The Who: Doug Sandom (drums). Was kicked out for being too old. Keith Moon replaced him. The Yardbirds: Anthony "Top" Topham (lead guitar). Was replaced by Eric Clapton, who was replaced by Jeff Beck and so on. The Police: Henry Padovani (vocals, guitar). The Police made one single as a four piece before Padovani was given the flick. The Jam: Steve Brooks (lead guitar). Brooks couldn't get on with Bruce Foxton (who was playing rhythm guitar with Paul Weller on bass and vocals), so when he left they did a bit of re-shuffling. The Doors: Jim and Rick Manczarek (guitar and harmonica respectively). They thought Jim Morrison was too weird. AC/DC: Dave Evans (vocals) was replaced by Bon Scott. They also went through several bassists and drummers in the early days too. Nirvana: Jason Everman (guitar) and Chad Channing (drums). Everman paid for the recording of the band's first album 'Bleach' but left before it was even recorded. Channing played on that album but was soon replaced by Dave Grohl. Deep Purple: Nick Simper (bass) was replaced by Roger Glover. Rod Evans made three albums as vocalist as well, but Ian Gillan overshadowed his legacy. The Seekers: Ken Lay (vocals). Left the band to get married. Judith Durham replaced him. Rest is history..

Probably the best explanation of the band and it's changing lineup, especially the reason for Pete Best's exclusion.

Awesome, I knew some of this, but there is a lot more I didn't know.

The best channal on youtube ❤❤

I never knew Ringo did not play the bossa nova beat on "PS ILY".... R e a l l y ???

I am actually familiar with all of these facts, but many. many Beatles fans are. Good video and thanks.

EXCELLENT! Thank you!

The movie “Backbeat” tells the story of Stuart Sutcliffe and The Beatles in detail.

I love how George knew who was worth keeping or joining the Beatles. He was the most humble and the most passionate artist. In the end he was done with everyone’s bullshit, stepped up and asked Clapton for while my guitar gently weeps. He’s my favourite Beatle and was obviously a total babe ;)

Well done, young man. Love these insights into the world's best band. I always learn something from you and I want you to know that you are appreciated.

3:40 you got this bit wrong. Pete played the ‘test’ session, after which George Martin (in consultation with his engineers) recommended hiring a session drummer - Andy White. By the time Ringo had joined the band in August 62 and accompanied them for their next session in September, Andy was already locked in....and apart from never having heard of Ringo, George was surprised to see the band’s lineup had changed.

I bought Pete Shotton's book in 1985,or "something."

Ringo is the best tambourine player

I love this

Aaron Taylor Johnson did a good job as high school jon lennon. And then when I seen that highschool picture I was like "wow he looked like him too"

Only six people were ever 'Beatles'. John, George, Paul, Ringo, Stu and Pete. The others were all involved one way or another but not full members of the group. They were used when necessary but weren't 'bandmates'.

I like how there’s so much arguing over who the 5th beatle is when Pete and Stuart ARE the fifth and sixth Beatles

Good video

What happened to Tommy Moore? According to Allan Williams, in his book, "The Man Who Gave The Beatles Away," the Beatles needed a drummer and heard some one playing the drums in an apartment complex. They found him, and though he was a bit older than the rest of the band, his drumming was very good. But his wife did not appreciate him staying out late nights and forced him to give up the band. Nothing else was ever heard of him.

Do a video on people who almost join the Traveling Wilburys

looked like Billy picks his nose and wipes it on his shirt at 7 minutes

So many amazing musicians. #Wow

Great video HollyHobs 👏🏿 Looking forward to your thoughts on the Get Back Disney+ series
