There is no such thing as “the least talented Beatle”. They required all four pieces.
That part.
This guy is such an idiot.
He was not "dumb" either, far from it. No way the others would have wanted him, kept him and respected him so much if he was not smart Through no fault of his own, as the medical issues in this vid point out, he had very little formal education growing up. He was always looking to better himself in all ways though as he went along and became an avid reader in the 60's to improve his vocabulary. It is also interesting that while each of the other three would snipe at each other and make negative comments (as well as positive ones) about each other, depending on their mood and the time period post-Beatles, I cannot recall a single instance where Ringo was the recipient of any negativity.
@@bowtieguy377 Who ever said that Ringo was "dumb"?
@@mikeymutual5489 In John Lennon's famous playboy interviews done shortly before he died, John was talking about how in the 60's some high brow types in the art world would imply that about Ringo and John was always furious about it. In the interview John stated: "and he ain't dumb" to clear the air. The starting point of the conversation was about how since Charlie Watts used to draw cartoons and did Jazz that Ringo came off "less arty" and John stated that Ringo was equal to, if not superior to Charlie in his approach to drumming. Also, I think it came from the fact that in their movies, Ringo was kind of portrayed that way a bit and an image was formed that was not him in real life at all.
before Ringo joined, the other 3 were spinning their wheels with no sense of focus. after he joined the rocketship took off
Everybody forgets that he didn't ask to join they wanted and asked him to join
Lucky Genius
He’s my favorite Beatle ❤
Without a good drummer, you don't have a band. Okay, the Wilburys and CSN/CSNY, but you don't see many groups get away with it.
Ringo was perfect for them PR-wise as without his laconic grounded persona the others would just be 3 snooty muso's, he complimented them well and brought out their fun side, also he carried himself subtley well on the drums even if he was limited in certain areas, if the books are to be believed then Paul has to be credited for his more exotic rhythms (Ticket To Ride etc.) but Ringo followed instruction dutifully and did the songs credit, 'Genius' no not really but bringing him in turned out to be a genial move
When his job was drumming with the Beatles, he did his job, flawlessly and brilliantly. And at that job, he was truly a genius…
He was very lucky and he was never a genius.. but he's a really really good drummer and a witty charismatic guy
Great drummer.
Long Live The Beatles
I love Ringo!
Both. It also comes down to connections and friendships.
Immeasurably important when you've got people living in each other's pockets for long periods of time. He would've been the best company.
Interesting video, however somewhat spoiled by the mumbling voice-over and no captions so I was unable to understand what he was muttering on about! 😞
Thanks! We put the captions
I love how in those days you were poor if you only owned a small house.
it might have been a "Council House".... peculiar English thing
Without Ringo (and possibly George Martin and probably Grian Epstein) The Beatles wouldn't have taken off the way they did.
Ringo yes yes 👍played for the song..thank you 🙏

I am so glad I got to see him
Both
3:33 What a crock. You have NO idea if Ringo was least famous member of the group or if he was seen as the least talented of the group. If anyone said that, it would be non-fans of today that are pushing some revisionist history. That was certainly NOT the feeling at the time the group was active, as Ringo was extremely popular and respected as a musician at the time. As you have no actual proof of what you are saying, it is obvious that you are just making everything up.
Keith Moon was a terrible drummer...
What???? Youve never tried yo play his stuff then
@@chuck7635 lol...
@@moresnare He was perfect for the Who. He probably wouldn't have worked for many other bands though.
@@NewFalconerRecords I agree.
@@moresnare Yet ironically, the only other really effective replacement drummer the Who have ever had.. has been Ringo's own son Zac!
