i agree, he was very over-rated because the ladies liked his looks. Reps++

It just wouldn't be the same without Ringo.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]It just wouldn't be the same without Ringo.[/QUOTE]
image wise yes.
i dont have a problem with RIngos solo carreer, though.

Any of you know of The Dirty Mac?

the beatles rule!!!!

[QUOTE=bob]ringo stars a bad drummer though.....im sorry but it had to be said[/QUOTE]

I don't think he's a bad drummer, just not anything special. He does have one excuse though, he had to keep a steady beat during the touring period or else the songs might have just crumbled since no one could hear himself.

Ive heard of the Dirty Mac, but that was a while ago...i just disregarded it since i had no idea what it ever was.

Ringo is defintaly not the best drummer, defintaly doesnt suck for whoever thinks that (you just cant go crazy on a set for a band like the beatles), but is by far, one of the most inspirational without doubt

This might be old news, but I just found out that McCartney is touring North America next fall. The tour schedule should be announced on the last week of February. When he comes to NY:
I'M DEFINITLEY GOING NO MATTER WHAT.

Next fall? As in fall 2005 or fall 2006? I'll probably get tickets, if I can.

Fall '05
I'm sure that every concert will sell out, so you better get em early.

Oh yeah they sell out in 10 minutes.

When we went in October '02, we had to go to our friend's house and use their DSL and has like ten windows open so we could get a chance at some good seats.

To the person who said Ringo Starr sucks as a drummer, well....no I won't be a newb punk kid and say f[B]u[/B]ck you. So instead I'll say....

[B]F*U*C*K YOU![/B]

Anyway, if you really think about it, were The Beatles' really that great at any of their instrumetns? Not too great (except maybe Paul on bass) compared to lots of other people, but is that really the point? No. They made badass music, and it sounded good. So in the end, thats what matters.

Personally (and I'm a drummer for those of you who don't know me) Ringo's drum sound on Abbey Road is the best drum sound of all time. No question about it. And the licks that he does on those great sounding toms sounds so wonderful.

And that's why The Beatle's are the greatest band of all time.

^Word up

[QUOTE=bob]ringo stars a bad drummer though.....im sorry but it had to be said[/QUOTE]

I beg to differ on this statement. I believe from my knowledge that Ringo is a solid, extremely reliable drummer and if you listened to any of the Beatles music you would realise that he is a great drummer who uses his skill to best effect especially in their post 1965 material, he plays a great sound and displays good technique for the music he plays. :cool: Ringo is a class act.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]Any of you know of The Dirty Mac?[/QUOTE]

Yes!, i downloaded a 7 min clip of the rolling sotnes R and R Circus, and it was a clip of them playing "Yer Blues" all i have to say is F-ING AWESOME line up, can you tell me more places i can get clips or CD's of them?

As to the people who said Ringo Starr wasnt a good drummer i say:

Ringo Starr wasnt The Bestt drummer, but he had a f-ing awesome style, he didnt overdo the Tom Toms, and concentrated mainly on the snare, hit hat, crash symbols and Bass drum.

A style which Perfectly fitted the beatles, Plus Ringo added alot of "X" factor to the Beatles,

the band Oasis ( a band HEAVILY influenced by the Beatles), Their original drummer couldnt even keep time and they still had the most Succesful Debut Albumn for the last 15 years.
{if you like the beatles you should listen to some of their stuff}

And to the Person who said Paul McCartney was the only one of the beatles really fantastic at their Instrument,

George Harrison IMO is about the 5th Best Guitarest yet,and i think Harrison was very, very, very bloody Underated.

but i half agree with you in the sence that "They Could be Better"

but its not their talent that got them to the top, its the songs they produced.so youn knjow it doesnt mater how talented they were at their individual instrument.

Yikes. Sgt. Joker, you have good ideas, but would it kill you to be a bit more precise with your typing?

I like Ringo's drumming. It's not fancy, but fits well with the music. Ten minute drum solos don't fit in with the Beatles style.

I am definitely getting tickets to that Paul McCartney show, even if I have to sell my liver for it.

I've never seen any clips of The Dirty Mac. I want to so bad.

The Dirty Mac lineup:

John Lennon-rythm guitar/vocals
Eric Clapton-lead guitar
Keith Richards-bass
Mitch Mitchell-drums

Wow, that's impressive

Deus, I will out bid you with a liver AND a kidney.

So how was that cover of "Acress the Universe" on the grammies?

Go to [url]www.downloads.com[/url] and search for "Limewire"
download that,
then in videos, search "The Rock and Roll Circus" or "Dirty Mac" or even "John Lennon and it should come up with 2 hits,
the Hit is probably the Names of the band members (J.L, K.R, E.C, M.M)
its a clip of about 7mins and it is very, very, very impressive.
(the clip is of Dirty Mac playing "Yer Blues")
Be carefull to look at the file size, if the Hit is exactly what you typed into search and is only 100 odd Kbs big its some kind of a dodgey virus or file.

ALT. buy the dvd of the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll circus.

(Sorry Deus, and all who can't stand my lack of gramma and what have you, i'll read of my posts more carefully.)

I didn't see the Across the Universe cover. I decided to boycott the grammies when I learned that neither Norah Jones or Brian Wilson were nominated for best album.

I'll sell my liver, kidney, and left testicle for tickets to that show.

Crap! Not having testicles sometimes has a downside

Does anyone know where he's gonna play in NYC? Prolly MSG or Yankee Stadium

I would say MSG, but I'm not sure. He's announcing next week. If I don't get a ticket, I'm f[B]u[/B]ckin sneaking in.

[QUOTE=Sgt._Joker]Ringo Starr wasnt The Bestt drummer, but he had a f-ing awesome style, he didnt overdo the Tom Toms, and concentrated mainly on the snare, hit hat, crash symbols and Bass drum. [/QUOTE]

Ummm, he used a lot of tom tom later on. His tom tom sound on Abbey Road and bits on the White Album are a very signature sound. early on, he didn't use enough tom tom (then again, no one did, since no one knew how to tune 'em correctly back then to make them sound good).

I said [I]overdo[/I] the tom toms i didn't say he didn't use them, or that he only used tom toms a tiny bit,
all i ment was He didnt use them [I]too [/I]much, or [I]so[/I] much that they were overpowering in the songs.

Recently i have set up my cpu speakers so that the Subwoofer is closer to me then the speakers, and i've been turning up the bass to its maximum so i can hear Paul McCartneys bass playing more then anything else, Because i have never really heard his bass in many songs.

Its Really quite fuc*ing amazing,

*Just throwing my two cents in*

his bass isnt too difficult, but its catchy

So, what do you think about Sgt. Peppers topping the Beatles albums in the top 100 poll? I liked it. :)

It is really an impossible question to answer. That and the one with "who had the best solo career"

Hey does the beatles anthology include the movie a Hard Day's Night?

Why did the Beatles break up?

Alot of reasons, having to do with getting sick of each other, and of course, Yoko.

They were drifting apart. Yoko just pushed them waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over the edge.

Yoko did not cause the beatles to break up, she might of had a tiny TINY bit to do with it, watch the beatles anthology ep. 8,
They were just tired and making music together wanstng giving them the kicks they used to.

The Beatles anthology does not incluede the movie a Hard Days Night, it has a few clips of it tho

The Beatles broke up because you can't have that much talent in one recording studio. they were all very talented and wanted to do different things, so the breakup was inevitable.

Paul McCartney does have great basslines, not too difficult, but very creative.

I am not familiar with the Beatles but I am going to buy an album. Which should I buy

I would say Abbey Road or The White Album.

Seeing as you like Hendrix Im assuming you enjoy psychedelic music therefore you should get [I]Magical Mystery Tour[/I] other will say [I]Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Harts Club Band[/I] but I think MMT > SPLHCB.

[QUOTE=Schyma]Seeing as you like Hendrix Im assuming you enjoy psychedelic music therefore you should get [I]Magical Mystery Tour[/I] other will say [I]Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Harts Club Band[/I] but I think MMT > SPLHCB.[/QUOTE]

I totally agree. While SPLHCB did a lot for music, MMT did a lot for the Beatles. In a lot of ways that album marked one of the Beatles biggest changes.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]Paul McCartney does have great basslines, not too difficult, but very creative.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. I love the ones in Ob-la-di Ob-la-da and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

[QUOTE=DonMancini]Agreed. I love the ones in Ob-la-di Ob-la-da and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.[/QUOTE]
His bass in Something is fantastic.
