He was in Las Vegas a week ago for the 5th anniversary of the cirque de soleil Beatles show at The Mirage. Amazing he is still touring 50 years on from when The Beatles first got together as a group.
I know Ringo is also out on tour this year, he was probably the least talented of the 4. And as Lennon said once, "He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles" |
|
By:
Lennon was joking when he said that, but people have always remembered it. Ringo couldn't sing, and didn't write very good songs, but he was an extremely good drummer.

Ringo's Singing
He was the LEAD vocals on :- With a Little Help from My Friends", "Yellow Submarine", and The Beatles version of "Act Naturally"), Studio albums Sentimental Journey (1970) Beaucoups of Blues (1970) Ringo (1973) Goodnight Vienna (1974) Ringo's Rotogravure (1976) Ringo the 4th (1977) Bad Boy (1978) Stop and Smell the Roses (1981) Old Wave (1983) Time Takes Time (1992) Vertical Man (1998) I Wanna Be Santa Claus (1999) Ringo Rama (2003) Choose Love (2005) Liverpool 8 (2008) Y Not (2010) Single:- I also seem to remember a single to do with a picture that I found rather good at the time. His drumming :- Starr was picked as the fifth-best drummer of all-time by Rolling Stone readers, behind drummers such as John Bonham, Keith Moon and Neil Peart. |

By:
Starr was/is a crap drummer. Watch the old clips. Plays the same way every time
|
|
By:
Not a fact, facts.
Listen to "A day in the life", or "Something". George Martin made special mention on several occasions about how Ringo Starr crated breaks and rhythms which weren't written into the songs. |

Frog song classic.

|
By:
Ringo the legend IMO. Keeps his head down, makes more money than anyone can imagine and manages to avoid dodgy women. And he has the coolest name.

Starr was actually a very profficient drummer indeed,kept perfect time,hardly flambouyant but that's nothing whatsoever to do with ability.He had the pretty rare ability to keep constant tempo,v few drummers can do that nowadays and studios just use digital technology to edit recordings.
Lennon paid him the finest of compliments about his timing"If I get a thing going Ringo knows where to go, just like that…”..you find me a lead singer/songwriter with the cersatility of a Lennon who could say that about his resident drummer! |

How does he sleep at night ? that should have been sung to Ringo ....basking in the glory of Lennon and McCartney

What I'd like to know is how does kenny mann know that Paul McArtney reads chit chat?
|
|
By:
Dunno if macca uses chit chat but he does use ebay as i believe he was rumoured to have purchased a syrup off their a few years back.
Utmost respect for Sir Maccas Beatles output and a few wings corkers but for a man whose done nothing of worth musically for nigh on 40 yrs,married a haemaphrodite vegetarian and a one legged prostitute and buys his syrups off ebay he's not a man to trust with your lucky 15..imo |

By:
off their what Bon?

By:
macca does not read chit chat so this thread is for no one

very good.

By:
Whatever his talent, Ringo hasn't done bad, made millions and ended up with a Bond girl !
He never asked to join The Beatles. George Martin asked him to join the group, after Martin found the drumming of Pete Best inadequate. Ringo will be 71 next month, he was the oldest Beatle. |

|
|
By:
I'd love to have his cash burning a hole in my pocket.
