Ringo always ends his speeches with " peace and love" and I would think "whatever". But now when I look at the world it is refreshing to hear that phrase with everything going on.
@@jamesong.a.7695 You're off if you think the world is getting better. It only seems like that because people are afraid to say what they really want unless it's behind a RU-vid comment. Enacting" hate speech" laws and other such nonsense like "cancel culture". In a sinful world you cannot legislate morality. Thank Jesus he died for our sins was buried and rose again !
I wish the Beatles could have gone on forever. There will never be another band like them. Thank you John, Paul, George, and Ringo for all the beautiful and cutting-edge music you gave us.
the beatles WILL go on forever. well, at least for quite a while yet. and i'd like to say, thanks, "on behalf of the group and ourselves and i hope we passed the audition." when ringo quit the beatles in 1968, the other beatles should've jokingly threatened to replace him with pete best. that would've been funny.
I was lucky to have lived it, I was 9 yrs old when the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan show, my bedtime was 8:00p mom let me and my bros stay up late to watch it. It was a real treat. and to follow them and the rest of the generation Just don't have words to describe it.
I was 16! Great times! Wanted to grow my hair long like that, but the sadistic coaches at my high school wouldn't let us. But eventually, it was like George McGovern said, "I really don't think long hair is going to destroy the country."
Unfortunately in the UK we didn’t see the Ed Sullivan performance until years later. My first memory is of watching the Shea Stadium performance In 67 & boy did the hairs on my neck stand up.
I honestlu can't fathom that a childhood memory of yours is something that is so iconic, you got to stay up late and watch the start of the british invasion! Super cool man.
The best thing about being a Beatles fan? I was 13 in 1963 so I more or less grew up with them. Their music, be it together or individually, is the tapestry of my life.
Same here! I was 11 and had just got my transistor radio. I loved it when the Beatles music was played. Their music has been an integral part of my life ever since.
I love that this video was made about Ringo. It’s true. It was really Paul, George, and John who really caught everyone’s eyes including mine. I always thought that Ringo was just a drummer and that’s it. Now watching this I feel more for him and understand that he really did make a big difference in the Beatles.
I hate to hear people disparage Ringo's status a a drummer... The guy came up with so many original, instantly recognizable drum parts, and was the heart of the greatest band of all time.
Ringo's drumming is un1que because he was a left handed drummer playing a right handed drum kit. Rain is my number 1 song highlighting Ringo's amazing drumming.
Hey all you brilliant musicologists !! I'm a pro Drummer with 30+ years of experience and skills from Death metal to afro-cubain grooves and all in between.... That said, Ringo is a Drummer with truly good times and creativity that combine swing toms fills in a more mainstream musical situation. With such strong melody's, a more busy or complex rhythms wouldn't serve the songs. Sometimes it's not what you do but what you no do that's is important. Humility and tasty choices serves what became The Beatles.
Octopus' Garden is one of my favorite Beatles songs because Ringo has very underrated singing talents. And he even started a fundraiser on IG to clean the oceans for his "friends the octopuses." God speed man
@@user-rs4ci3fn2d First off not ALL real brothers share, in fact many don't share anything at all. John, Paul and George knew each other since they were teens long before the fame & money and Ringo is a only child. So in fact they have referred each other as brothers many times because they went through so much together including arguments . Keep a open mind.
Show up, be real every day, make honest effort, don't slag others. I think Ringo was raised right & came up with his own true honest self as time went on. I think the universe digs this guy!
I played lead and rhythm guitar for many years... To get into a band I had to play bass. I thought easy... it took me a while to even like it Bass players are always taken for granted.. but to do it well, you and the drummer are the backbone of the band. I can’t even recall how any times I could look back at my drummer and knew were in sync..bass players motto .. stay in tune and keep the beat.
Jack Bruce and John Entwhistle were always my favorite bassists, and give a shout out to Steve Upton of Wishbone Ash!!!!! He really lit em up on his drum kit playing on Handy, Phoenix, and other Wishbone songs!!!!!!!
@@thomasfoss9963 Honestly don't know anything about Wishbone Ash - can't comment. Suddenly had a thought: what about Carl Palmer on drums? Pi**es all ove Starr.
@@thomasfoss9963 Bruce and Entwhistle were both pioneers. Both had very unorthodox styles, used fingers instead of picks and often would play a flurry of notes that somehow made sense and sounded good together. No slapping - no other fancy techniques... just pure control of the instrument.
I am so grateful to have witnessed The Beatles from the very start hearing I Want To Hold Your Hand on AM radio back in November 1963. Ringo always played the fire out of the drums!
I share your gratitude. The Beatles wrote some of the major soundtracks to the early part of my life. To listen to them now always revitalizes me and continues to amaze with their immense inventiveness.
I had a plastic Beatles guitar. It's probably herecy to say this but I loved the Monkees. They were on TV. Didn't fulley appreciate the Beatles until later. When I got a record player and a Beatles album for xmas.
I grew up through childhood listening to The Beatles. They are why I picked up a guitar in 1968 and never put it down since. I'm 60 now, and have played professionally until the last 5 years, when I gave it all to Jesus and now a worship leader. You could almost say The Beatles led me to the Lord. The Fab 4 will always be my favorite band ever.
It's funny how your perspectives change as you experience Life. For nearly my first 20 years as a musician I played lead and rhythm guitar and sang in all my bands. When I switched to bass in a couple of bands in the 80s I was listening to Sgt. Pepper and an epiphany smacked me. How could I have listened to the record all those years and never realized that it is a _Bass Player's_ album!?!? That's not to say that the entire band was not magic on every song or that Paul walked over anyone else in the mix. Listening to the incredible way he uses his instrument to weave everything else into the amazing tapestry it is gives me a new appreciation of this classic.
I had this revelation myself, it solidified Sgt. Pepper’s as my favorite album. The basslines for Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Lovely Rita, Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite, A Day in the Life…. such splendid works of art!!!
I absolutely love Paul and Ringo. They have so much history together. They are brothers and will continue to be brothers forever. The Beatles played a huge part in the lives of so many people, particularly, those growing up in the 1960s. Thank you Paul, Ringo, George and John, for the wonderful memories and of course, the amazing music.
But it is a myth that they were four from start to finish. They were five members, altough not at the same time. John, Paul, George, Ringo and last member in William.
I love them both and will always love the music. A band ahead of their time, The Beatles transitioned music and fashion through the 60’s and innovating new sounds and great songwriting..
In the early 70's Ringo was on the radio every bit as much (or more) as Paul and John, and more than George. Photograph, The No No Song, Back Off Boogaloo, You're Sixteen and It Don't Come Easy...
@@olskzeri8007 He was born on the 18th June 1942 making him this June . John born 1940 he would have been 82 ..George born 1943 he would be 78 and Ringo born July 1940 ..So none of the Beatles would be 84 dead or alive
Ringo thinks the other three are close so he goes to John and John says, "I thought it was you three!" Then he goes to Paul and Paul says, "I thought it was you three!" And so we learn by implication that George Harrison was the glue that held the band together.
Ringo Starr was in a band that was more famous than the Beatles back then, Paul, John, and George recognize he was the missing piece and stole him from the other band.
Although between Paul and Ringo left the band, They're staying with good relationship. Other bands do not do so. They 're alone each after disband. Such a point of view Paul and Ringo, they're shown an example to everyone.
Extremely informative! I'm a pretty big Beatles fan and historian, and there was more that I didn't know, then did know, in this presentation. I wouldn't go to see Ringo or Paul as solo artists, but just like they both said in the video, when the two of them play together, it's magic! And THAT, if I ever had the chance, is a show I would go to see!
The music of The Beatles is the first music that I can clearly remember. My brother was (and still is a huge fan) and he made a huge fan out of me, his baby brother. "Brothers fight sometimes." Yup. My brother and I had a few doozies in our day, but you know what got us back together? Sitting down and listening to The Beatles. How can you stay mad at each other when you're both singing and playing along to great song? Politicians, please take note.
Paul and Ringo were always my favourite Beatles. From the time I was a child. That they are the two left amonst us seems a perverse sort of serendipity. But I thank what ever Universal power that deems it so. Long may they live in excellent health. And RIP to John and George, the two other and *essential* corners of the square.
Paul and Ringo reunited musically way before the 1990's. Ringo played on Paul's "Tug of War" and "Pipes of Peace" albums in the early 80's and Ringo acted in Paul's film "Give My Regards to Broad Street" as well as played on the soundtrack.
Ringo came up with the perfect parts for each song. Other drummers would have overplayed and detracted from the song.(imagine keath moon playing with the Beatles). You don't have to play paradittles or drum rolls unless you're in a marching band.
The Beatles were a contentious bunch of musical geniuses. Each particular in their own way, a wonder they didn't commit homicide. They were precursors of punk and metal, each willing to push and kill. "Come Together" a case in point. Sing any refrain, then Pauls bassline.
Ringo’s treatment by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was mirrored by that of his friend Todd Rundgren. The HOF sometimes needs to be EMBARRASSED before they let someone in. Paul’s actions to get Ringo in speak volumes about the induction process. Only the “Cool Kids” get in 🙄
Ringo is a REAL musician. He loathes drum solos because so few drummers (besides him) execute them well. Most drummers are just showoffs but not Ringo. He puts the music FIRST! Like just take those drum circles you see in the park or at the beach. They're just noise man. Noice that goes on for freaking HOURS! This is the image that Starr despises. He was the perfect fit for the greatest Rock band ever.
Every drummer I’ve known, learn’s a new lick & tries to incorporate it in every song , never questioning…….should I…..because I can. Ringo didn’t & there for showed us restraint in playing for the song, that Mantra has never left me & served me well over the years.
Ringo is great but give me Keith Moon or John Bonham. Rings is nice & solid tho recording sessions with Paul a nightmare as he dictates or plays it himself but Ringo is easy going.
The studio techs who themselves worked tirelessly on Beatles records said Ringo worked harder than anyone else in the band. He was often the first there and last to leave.
I was obsessed by Ringo after I watched Yellow Submarine cartoon when i was 4, 20 years ago! I wouldn’t have know the beatles if it wasnt for my dad’s listening their songs all the time
I remember being 3 years old and I was in my older brother's bedroom. He had an LP of Revolver where there was a group photo of the Beatles on the back cover. All 4 of them were wearing sunglasses and I kept asking my brother which one was Ringo. I don't know why I was fascinated by Ringo but there's something about him that's friendly and children sense that. Ringo is criminally underrated as a drummer. When Mark Lewisohn was researching his book he listened to every recording The Beatles made while they were togeher. He read all the logs from the recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios. You know how a band will stop a song because someone made a mistake? According to Lewisohn, Ringo was only responsible for "less than a dozen" mistakes in a span of 8 years. Less than a dozen can be anywhere from 1 to 11. If it was 11, it means that for 5 years Ringo averaged 1 mistake per year and for 3 years he averaged 2 a year. Think about that. I've also read that Ringo's tempos were so exact that George Martin could easily piece together multiple takes of the same song. And when thousands of screaming girls made it impossible for The Beatles to hear themselves, Ringo would read Paul and John's lips to figure out what he should be playing. Oh, and when The Beatles started recording "Hey Jude", Ringo went to the bathroom as Paul sang the opening. Then Ringo quietly tip-toed to his drum kit, sat down and started playing exactly when he was supposed to without coming in too early or too late. On top of all that, the guy could make a club filled with people want to move. He came up with the drum parts on countless top selling LPs and singles. And he came up with perfect drum parts in all sorts of styles and tempos and made some of the most innovative and experimental music ever recorded. Some really stupid people think an undeserving Ringo won the lottery when he joined The Beatles but the other Beatles were lucky to find him.
Ever listen to the sessions where the Beatles were working out their tunes, changing things as they went, etc.? Ringo was on top of everything. "Never missed a beat," so to speak.
If you are ever sad just listen to Beatles bloopers. It’s hard to get me to laugh at anything even when I’m in my best mood but those are top notch comedy
Paul and ringo definitely were the complement to John and George. John and George were hippies and experimental. Ringo and Paul were more down to earth.
My favourite Beatle is ranked as follows: (1) Si Paul McCartney, (2) Sir Ringo Starr, (3) George Harrison. There are only 2 Bass Players for me in this world. Sir Paul McCartney (Beatles) and (2) Randy Meisner (The Eagles). There is no other Bassist who can hold a candle to them. I was privileged to see the Beatles perform at Festival Hall Melbourne in 1964. We were four rows back from the stage and I could not hear a bloody thing. The girls were going mental. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
The world is already feels foreign after the passing of Prince, Bowie and Eddie Van Halen recently. But when Paul and Ringo go, it’ll feel like a different existence all together.
11:25 | Paul and Ringo didn't work together since 1997 ('Beautiful Night'). In 1982 they played in 'Take It Away' and also in 1984 they were together for _Give My Regards To Broad Street_ , as musicians and actors.
Ringo is my favorite Beatle, I grew up with him, Carlin, and Baldwin narrating Thomas the Tank Engine and through that I discovered the Beatles He’s super down to earth, sweet, funny, a fantastic drummer, and has super underrated music albums with my favorite being Time Takes Time
"People, when they´re younger, never realize the pleasure treasure life´s got. But as they grew older, they realize a lot". Lambert-Hendricks and Ross.
heh yea I liked Rush's take. They made it clear they werent that interested and only showed up because they knew it was important to their fan base, who wanted it way more than the band did
Ringo Starr is so cute in the sense that he isn't the best singer buy he seems to have fun ! He seems like he's a good guy seems happy . I'm glad his illness are done..i really like Ringo
Ringo's Back Off Boogaloo (1972) was How Do You Sleep (Lennon 1971) part 2. Because Macca's father in law said NO to Allen Klein. Mr Eastman saved them all.
