He's referencing all those obscure bands and musicians from the 50s. How the hell ...? I never really considered vegetarianism, but Ringo may be changing my mind. OK, he colors his hair and beard, but you can't color your brain.
Wow, you are so right! Never really listened to that song putting my ear on only the drums. He made drums a true musical instrument as opposed to a necessary sound for the background beat. I hope that makes sense, I really don’t know how to say it. He never just played. He always played specifically to each song with with unique fills placed in all the appropriate places and also he knew when to not play.
While all the world has the Petal To The Metal racing to get ahead Ringo's ability to keep the bear down by simply staying at hOMe in the pocket is extraordinary!
I wish someone would make it a point to tell Ringo-on behalf of ALL the people in our world who love him and his music but, because it's humanly impossible, will never meet him in person to be able to say so personally-a hearty and sincere "THANK YOU, Richard!"-for all the joy your music has given to me and everyone else through all these years. Ringo has been, and remains at the root, a wildly successful musician and celebrity who never forgot his roots and street smarts from Liverpool. If there were ever to be anything in contemporary life that makes me love the people of the UK and of Liverpool specifically, it would be Ringo, Paul, George, and John. The qualities that I associate with them are resilience, ironic humor, common sense, practical inventiveness, and-above all else-honesty amid a world often dominated by phoniness. Please, someone in in Ringo's family, give him an extra 'safe space' hug sometime on behalf of the rest of the world who love him too. And tell him we all say "Thanks!"
@@dondamon4669 Forgive any awkwardness of expression on my part. What I meant was that although Ringo NOW can't escape his own fame, he remains grounded nonetheless in where he came from and what Liverpool gave to him in his youth. I meant what I wrote entirely as a compliment to him.
Ringo Starr and Charlie Watts holding the bass drum on either side while John Bonham beats the drum across the floor, had to be one amazing sight to see. I’m with Ringo, what a pity there is no picture of it today.
Yes the amount of gratitude shown struck me too. Charlie Watts was a bit like that as well, almost as if he couldn't believe the life he was living even in old age.
Rick Ruben, first of all I want to thank you for what you did for Johnny Cash. I know that's off subject here, but I want you to know how special, we the public, felt those albums were. I was never a fan of Johnny Cash, until I heard his records that YOU made. It was genius. I really felt that you brought out the real Johnny Cash, and it was brilliant. Thank you. As for Sir Ringo Starr, what can anyone say? I was 6 years old when I first heard The Beatles on Ed Sullivan in 1964, and it completely changed my life forever. My brother and I were 6 and 8 years old, abandoned by our mother, living with grand parents while Dad was gone in the Army. The Beatles INSTANTLY changed our tears into smiles. We started singing, playing guitars, and writing songs. By the time we were 15 and 16, we were pretty good. Since then, many bands. Peace and Love to Ringo Starr. Ringo I love you will all my heart. You will never know how much love and comfort you and the Beatles gave to two little boys, scared to death in 1964, 65, 66, 67, 68, and 69. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Unbeknownst to you, you and the boys were our big brothers from England. We couldn't have made it without you and your music, and at 64, I'm still singing. As far as I am concerned, The Beatles were a gift from God. There will never be another Beatles.. Peace and Love
More than 50 years after the Beatles appeared in our lives, Rick Rubin has managed through this interview and his series with Paul, to dust off the Beatles story and allow us to learn new things that only add to the legend. Thank you!
@@PAULLONDEN I don't disagree. This particular interview, with the attic setting, was just exceptional. It gave me the feeling like Paul was ascending and we better get all we can from him now
I'm thinking the same thing. He sounds like he could be anything down to like 30 years old! Actually looks pretty damn good for 81, too if you look up recent pictures. He attributes it to eating lots of blueberries and walnuts.
I guess it helps the Rick Rubin is like an industry legend, so he's not going to ask BS questions. Even Howard Stern's questions tend to be fanboy BS. Rick asks about stuff that we all want to know. And Ringo accommodates by remembering every blessed thing that ever happened to him, no matter how many drugs he had been taking at the time. Unbelievable!
@@tomasfagerberg6323 Much better than your unconstructive comment. You probably don't know Nottingham either. Perhaps you prefer war and hate. Some of us live life.
27:58 This is one of my favourite parts of Get Back. John is trying to argue for playing on the roof. Paul doesn't want to and knows that George will back him, so he asks George's opinion to make it 2-1. Suddenly, Ringo says, "Well I want to play the roof." Paul looks at Ringo with wonder, "You do?" And that seems to settle it. Well, Ringo wants to do it, that's good enough for Paul. It's not John's vote that sways him, it's Ringo's.
lol yeah George just got done telling Paul that he didn’t want to play on the roof and then Ringo said he wants to, then Paul says “Very diverse people.”
Good Lord! I'm 66 and am absolutely astounded at how great Ringo sounds. He responds like a 30 yr old. Great stories, a short little successful gig with uh, what was the band??? The Beatles, I think ; ) and he even got a Bond girl. God Bless you, Ringo. Thanks for the memories. the music and your grand aura.
It's crazy, kind of eerie almost, that Ringo's voice literally hasn't changed at all since his Beatles days. Imagine this voice on Octopus's Garden. Wouldn't sound any different from the original.
First of all Rick....just for having Ringo on thank you from deep in my heart.The first guitar lesson I took...that day my best friend and I when we were 14 started a band I was horrible but I could write lyrics to my friends' guitar parts and I could sing.In time I got better.When it really became a band the two drummers we would listen for in the drummers we played with were Ringo and Charlie Watts because they were song drummers who always just did what was best for the song at hand.That model has always stuck with me.At one point The Beatles,The Stones,early R.E.M.(Bill Berry was also a favorite drummer),these were bands we listened to every day for years.Ringo's simple simply wonderful drumming has impacted my songwriting over the years in ways I can't imagine but every way it has done that comes out as magic in my arrangements in my own songs.To this day Ringo and Charlie are still the best time keepers.Of course I love Bonham and Moon as well but they are part of a different thing.Without having Ringo in my life from a very young age...even before I was a musician and I just heard The Beatles on the radio...at age 4 or 5 .....I don't know if I would have learned the fundamentals of songwriting and how to apply them as well.I was touched by that sound and the sound of rock-n-roll.When I write though...I hear that Ringo sound and just the fundamental genius and magic of his playing.I stick with that and always will because if you keep it simple you can't go wrong.Ringo I can't thank you enough for influencing me in the best way by just being yourself and doing the best thing that each song needed...that has really stuck with me and it really serves my own songs.I learned that from just listening to you play.I can't ever thank you enough Ringo and of course thanks to George,John and Paul as well.The effect The Beatles have had on me is immeasurable and I have the deepest brotherly love for you all.Have a great and wonderful one.🙂🎸🤘🎶☮️🎵⚡💀♥️
The one thing I love about this interview, apart from Rubin's excellent knowledge and interview style, is how affectionately Ringo throws Paul's name into the mix. They've had their ups and downs but clearly in a good space and it's comforting to know.
I've listened to this interview so many times and I love it more each time. Ringo is so charming and natural. And Rick, of course, is an incomparable interviewer and a force of nature in his own right. Yet somehow, he never intrudes but let's the conversation flow naturally. ✌❤
Immediately after Paul announced he was leaving the Beatles, there were rumors that Klaus would replace him. But Klaus was also friends with Paul and he did not want to take sides in the breakup battle.
Ringo is such a legend! He manages to be one of the most unique and creative drummers in rock history and does so by keeping it simple and direct. God bless him. And Rick, besides being a production wizard, is also great at doing these interviews. He's doing some of the best interviews with musicians that I've seen in a long time. How I wish I could have my record produced by him. I have a feeling that he's the best person in the world at getting the best out of any musician. He helped so many people find their own voices with confidence and then develop them in the coolest possible way. Production doesn't get much better than that as far as I'm concerned.
I love Ringo’s stories and sense of humor. A very likable guy. I remember seeing a video on TH-cam of him talking to another drummer, somewhere after a session , and Ringo said to him “I may not be as good as you, but you’ll never be as famous as Me”.😄😄 God bless him👍 He has aged well.
It’s a special treat to listen to Ringo discuss the early days of rock ‘n roll in the 50’s and 60’s in Britain and the Beatles. Great interview. Always learn something new. The best drummer ever and a very fine gentleman as well.
Thanks for Another delightful experience. Wonderful to hear some new bits to this amazing story that is the timeline of my life. So lovely to be aware of the wonderful friendship that Paul and Ringo still have. These lads and their two mates gave/give as much to our social existence as they did/do for our musical experience.
Ringo! Joyful Funny Joie de vivre! Appreciated seeing him in Get Back! Just being there patient for hours and hours on end! Drawing cartoons, playing with Stella … Great 👍🏼 story here. Thank you for having him on. He is a breathe of fresh air.
Fantastic interview, so warm, funny, witty, relaxed and informative. It's amazing how music and culture has changed over Ringo's lifetime. And he's been part of the change because of The Beatles, and he was perfect for them.
What a plum job Ringo had, only had to play for the Beatles for 8 years and job done. Of course he’s played loads since on solo albums and his own band. But his legacy will always be the drummer for the Beatles! The two drummers for Grateful Dead are still playing, who knows how many gigs they’ve played, in over 50 years!
Wonderful insight into ringos life thanks Ringo peace and love to you as a human being ✌️♥️ I’m loving all the giggling between them they sound so happy it’s making me happy love you both
Hearing him talk about Rory and Johnny Hutch is a real treat-and him watching John Paul George and Pete together,throwing song requests at them..so cool to finally hear more detail about it.Ringo doesn't remember,but,he did record with John Paul and George,along with Lu Watters,a song in 1960-it was Gershwin's Summertime.I have yet to hear-would love to find it!!!
Serendipity with Sir Ringo and Dave Grohl ! it makes me ecstatic about how he just keeps on showing so much joyful pizzaz with his " All Star Band" concepts. His voice is as strong, emphatic and vibrant as back in the days of "Boys" and "Octopus's Garden". Passion, honesty, authenticity with an eclectic punch is just the teaser. "Rock around the clock" was the very first song I ever heard on my transistor radio. When Ringo talks about the Elvis movies on the silver screen, it really sends me to a sweet pre teenage era. He oozes with charm and has a phenomenal memory for rock and roll history. Blessings, peace and love, brother ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
I remember Ringo talking (numerous times!) about wanting to start a women's hair salon vs. being a drummer.. but he seems to have forgotten about it these days still, great interview
One of my favorite Ringo performances was on Rain . Paperback Writer/ Rain was my first 45 rpm single when I played side B I kept replaying it because Ringos drumming just floored me..The way he kicks off that song was totally original sounding to my 12 year old ears. It still impresses my 68 year old ears.I just found the Al Green album Gets Next to You and listened to I’m a Ram. That whole album is amazing. Thank you for mentioning it Ringo.
Loved this .... Ringo is a treasure of course. I was a drummer in my youth so I can understand a lot of his drum language etc etc. and of course I always love anything about my beloved Keith Moon and Bonham as well. BlessUp ❤
I love Keith Richards. More than that I think I understand him, because I think he and I are a lot alike. I wish I had devoted much more time to my music. I was never encouraged by many people to do so. And I didn't have enough faith in myself. Except when the chips were down I always knew how to escape real misery. I just kept going no matter what. Even though I wish I had devoted myself to music more than I already did. The fact that I knew I could write songs was what carried me on. All I ever wanted was to be in a rock band. And yet I made so many mistakes and burned so many bridges that I should've crossed rather than chickening out or just screwing up behind booze. The one time that I was taken seriously enough to have formed a band I had to watch other people just quit. My own band mates who refused to do certain venues that could've done us a lot of good. I wasn't alone in screwing up opportunities. I wish I had gotten much more support than I did. Now I have to deal with a crippling sadness for opportunities missed and times gone by. I am at a loss presently in knowing how to overcome this sadness. I know I will. This knowledge has been reduced to only hoping I will some day. And time is running out. I'm 72 years old and not in the best of health.
I’m a drummer due to first seeing Ringo and The Beatles live on the Ed Sullivan Show on a Sunday evening back in February 11 1964. And they were in my hometown of New York City.
I have always liked Ringo's philosophy and his sense of humor. he can definitely make me laugh. and Rick Rubin is totally amazing, he has worked with so many musicians. like for instance his working with Johnny Cash at the end of his career. in fact that last album that Johnny Cash released with Rick Rubin. was one of his biggest selling albums. in fact there's a phenomenon that happens with musicians. and that is if you step back you will notice that. musicians seem like they are traveling in circles. and the circles interconnect with each other. (an example is like) Roy Orbison toured with the Beatles before they became famous. and then fast forward to the time when George Harrison and Roy Orbison. were the founders of the super group the Traveling Wilbury's. who would guess that would happen? but because of the circles interconecting. these kinds of collaborations happen Actually more than people think. and Ringo probably knows this better than anyone. having the All Star band for so long. and Rick Rubin can probably back him up on that.
Ringo Starr is the embodiment of the effects a consistently positive outlook can have on your life, and not least, the length of it. Would anyone previously unaware of it, believe that the man is in his eighties? John and George preached it, Paul and Ringo lived, it and continue to do so.
For an audiophile for me, this podcast is great. This episode is no different. I remember Paul said when Ringo joined the band, there was a measurable difference vs their original drummer.
Apart from saying, 'ehn' in place of 'and', his accent is still easily recognisable as genuine Liverpudlian. That's amazing after living so long in America. And he's still got true Liverpudlian humour - some of which Rick missed. 😉
The book to read is Mark Lewisohn - Tune In... All about all four of them but a huge amount of Ringo's early years - It only goes up to 1962 - Parts 2 and 3 still to come out.. Enjoy.
I was working in Liverpool some years ago had a client in the street he grew up she was the only remaining resident in whole street/ she knew Ringo growing up and she brought out a photo of him
Rick Rubin is an AMAZING producer.....but he says the word AMAZING WAY TO MUCH!!!! Lol I’ve listened to a dozen of these interviews he’s done with a lot of people and he must say AMAZING a DOZEN times in every interview! Lol that said LOVE YA RICK!
Ringo looks younger than Paul, and he still has energy, saw him live not long ago, still sounds like Ringo and was running up steps on stage, impressive for his age

Wow this guy is 81 years old but sounds like half his age. Still sharp, still passionate. Just amazing.
He's referencing all those obscure bands and musicians from the 50s. How the hell ...?

Ringo's drumming on She Said, She Said is mind blowing. That alone should put him at the top of the short list.
Wow, you are so right! Never really listened to that song putting my ear on only the drums. He made drums a true musical instrument as opposed to a necessary sound for the background beat. I hope that makes sense, I really don’t know how to say it. He never just played. He always played specifically to each song with with unique fills placed in all the appropriate places and also he knew when to not play.
Yeah. I believe it’s the only Beatles song without Paul McCartney. They had a fight and he left so they recorded it without him
Love Rings! He was the best Mr Conductor on Shining Time Station!! ♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰♥️♥️
AGREED
While all the world has the Petal To The Metal racing to get ahead Ringo's ability to keep the bear down by simply staying at hOMe in the pocket is extraordinary!
I'm happy we still live in a world graced by Ringo and Paul for that matter aswell.

But his legacy will always be the drummer for the Beatles! The two drummers for Grateful Dead are still playing, who knows how many gigs they’ve played, in over 50 years!
Who gives a 💩
Incomparable, one and only! This honesty, this talent and This heart 😊🎶💖...so rare, so precious...unique!✌️💛⭐Great interview!👍🙏 All the best!🍀
This is simply the best and most interesting interview I've ever heard with Ringo
Wonderful insight into ringos life thanks Ringo peace and love to you as a human being ✌️♥️ I’m loving all the giggling between them they sound so happy it’s making me happy love you both
Hearing him talk about Rory and Johnny Hutch is a real treat-and him watching John Paul George and Pete together,throwing song requests at them..so cool to finally hear more detail about it.Ringo doesn't remember,but,he did record with John Paul and George,along with Lu Watters,a song in 1960-it was Gershwin's Summertime.I have yet to hear-would love to find it!!!
Wasn’t that the record he asked Johnny Guitar for a copy of & Johnny sad no .
Serendipity with Sir Ringo and Dave Grohl ! it makes me ecstatic about how he just keeps on showing so much joyful pizzaz with his " All Star Band" concepts. His voice is as strong, emphatic and vibrant as back in the days of "Boys" and "Octopus's Garden". Passion, honesty, authenticity with an eclectic punch is just the teaser. "Rock around the clock" was the very first song I ever heard on my transistor radio. When Ringo talks about the Elvis movies on the silver screen, it really sends me to a sweet pre teenage era. He oozes with charm and has a phenomenal memory for rock and roll history. Blessings, peace and love, brother ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
So pleased that I've found this podcast-all the oldies are celebrating their long lives!!
I remember Ringo talking (numerous times!) about wanting to start a women's hair salon vs. being a drummer.. but he seems to have forgotten about it these days
still, great interview
One of my favorite Ringo performances was on Rain . Paperback Writer/ Rain was my first 45 rpm single when I played side B I kept replaying it because Ringos drumming just floored me..The way he kicks off that song was totally original sounding to my 12 year old ears. It still impresses my 68 year old ears.I just found the Al Green album Gets Next to You and listened to I’m a Ram. That whole album is amazing. Thank you for mentioning it Ringo.
Ringo has said that it's his favorite.
Was Al Jackson playing drums on that Al Green's album?
Ringo is very down to earth and the glue that held the Beatles together
Loved this .... Ringo is a treasure of course. I was a drummer in my youth so I can understand a lot of his drum language etc etc.
and of course I always love anything about my beloved Keith Moon and Bonham as well. BlessUp ❤
Great interview. Ringo sounds so positive.
I love Keith Richards. More than that I think I understand him, because I think he and I are a lot alike. I wish I had devoted much more time to my music. I was never encouraged by many people to do so. And I didn't have enough faith in myself. Except when the chips were down I always knew how to escape real misery.
I just kept going no matter what. Even though I wish I had devoted myself to music more than I already did. The fact that I knew I could write songs was what carried me on. All I ever wanted was to be in a rock band. And yet I made so many mistakes and burned so many bridges that I should've crossed rather than chickening out or just screwing up behind booze.
The one time that I was taken seriously enough to have formed a band I had to watch other people just quit. My own band mates who refused to do certain venues that could've done us a lot of good. I wasn't alone in screwing up opportunities. I wish I had gotten much more support than I did.
Now I have to deal with a crippling sadness for opportunities missed and times gone by. I am at a loss presently in knowing how to overcome this sadness. I know I will. This knowledge has been reduced to only hoping I will some day. And time is running out. I'm 72 years old and not in the best of health.
I’m a drummer due to first seeing Ringo and The Beatles live on the Ed Sullivan Show on a Sunday evening back in February 11 1964. And they were in my hometown of New York City.
I always thought February 9??.
@@chicanobear13
Yes, that is correct.
@@rhythmantic i only remember because its a significant date for me .. except it is February 9,1971..
Rip. Charlie Watts. Love ya Ringo. Great interview Rick...😎🙏
I have always liked Ringo's philosophy and his sense of humor. he can definitely make me laugh. and Rick Rubin is totally amazing, he has worked with so many musicians. like for instance his working with Johnny Cash at the end of his career. in fact that last album that Johnny Cash released with Rick Rubin. was one of his biggest selling albums. in fact there's a phenomenon that happens with musicians. and that is if you step back you will notice that. musicians seem like they are traveling in circles. and the circles interconnect with each other. (an example is like) Roy Orbison toured with the Beatles before they became famous. and then fast forward to the time when George Harrison and Roy Orbison. were the founders of the super group the Traveling Wilbury's. who would guess that would happen? but because of the circles interconecting. these kinds of collaborations happen Actually more than people think. and Ringo probably knows this better than anyone. having the All Star band for so long. and Rick Rubin can probably back him up on that.
I just like to hear Ringo talk and tell stories.
Wonderful Podcast! ❤ Amazing stories.
The drummer is… dare I say… the leader of the band !!!
A wonderful interview.
The Beatles turned my World upside down as an 11-12 year old. Indeed they put colour into a black and white England, and we never looked back.
Damn that was an excellent interview. Never a boring moment.
Thanks for posting!
Peace & Love
I will always love Ringo. He's so BAAAD!!!
Fantastic interview, the serendipity of it all💜💜💜
My first concert was Ringo in 93 or 94. On the pier downtown Seattle. Was great.
How is Ringo a man in his 80s!! He is such a great storyteller.
Somehow Ringo sounds just like John - fantastic!
You know what’s amazing? It’s how many times they repeat the chorus at the end of “Back Off Boogaloo”.
oh my God. This is the best channel in TH-cam. Robert Plant, Ringo, Brian Eno, Cat Stevens?
💝💝💝
“Loveable, sincere, Wild and Crazy guy” Ringo
Somebody get him to add Emily Linge to the next All-Star gig!!??
Ringo Starr is the embodiment of the effects a consistently positive outlook can have on your life, and not least, the length of it. Would anyone previously unaware of it, believe that the man is in his eighties? John and George preached it, Paul and Ringo lived, it and continue to do so.
Yeah - and he was so very ill as a young teenager, it is amazing that he recovered - never mind how amazing his life went on to be!
Thanks guys. Always fun to listen to Beatles stuff through my life.
Now 82, bless his soul! 🙌🏽💓✨️
A treasure of an interview. Thanks so much.
Forward is an endless journey, retrospect was but yesterday. The lads are still forever in my 14th year.
Rubin should have done a series with Richie like he did with Paul.
For an audiophile for me, this podcast is great. This episode is no different. I remember Paul said when Ringo joined the band, there was a measurable difference vs their original drummer.
This is gold 👌
Love you Ringo!!!! Rock on!!
Keep it coming’, my friend Ringo.
Listen to Beatles records and tell me Ringo wasn't perfect. 😎
On EVERY record he plays on! He always contributes *exactly* what the song needs from a drummer.
Great chat. Love all RIngo's mentions of other musicians from way back.
Wow he still sounds so young..still got the Liverpool accent…i mean this it Ringo 81 and wow he sounds like he’s half his age.! peace ✌🏻 and love 💕
Apart from saying, 'ehn' in place of 'and', his accent is still easily recognisable as genuine Liverpudlian. That's amazing after living so long in America. And he's still got true Liverpudlian humour - some of which Rick missed. 😉
Can someone convince Paul and Ringo to track super short drum and bass licks .Grooves . !
Thank you Ringo.
great interview.
Ringo needs a proper autobiography written, his childhood and journey into the Beatles is so interesting
The book to read is Mark Lewisohn - Tune In... All about all four of them but a huge amount of Ringo's early years - It only goes up to 1962 - Parts 2 and 3 still to come out.. Enjoy.
@@johnpbh yep, second that.
I was working in Liverpool some years ago had a client in the street he grew up she was the only remaining resident in whole street/ she knew Ringo growing up and she brought out a photo of him
Ringo is awesome!
Thanks for sharing. Great drummer, seems like lots of fun to talk to him. Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music/Sacred & Secular (and longtime Beatles fan)
Rick Rubin is an AMAZING producer.....but he says the word AMAZING WAY TO MUCH!!!! Lol I’ve listened to a dozen of these interviews he’s done with a lot of people and he must say AMAZING a DOZEN times in every interview! Lol that said LOVE YA RICK!
This was so fun to listen to. And Rick, you're gonna produce an album of mine someday.
Thank you for this
All Things Must Pass - "pretty good album..." - wow. Yup. Very pretty good.
Ringo looks younger than Paul, and he still has energy, saw him live not long ago, still sounds like Ringo and was running up steps on stage, impressive for his age
Ringo uses dye, Paul does not.
@@o.fortuna657 apparently Ringo uses " face lifts" and Paul doesn't lol
@@freedomisntfree2089 the other way round. paul uses face lifts. well, eye lifts.
