John, George and Brian went to an early grave. John paid the price of fame in 1980. Pete could travel about the UK relatively unrecognized unlike the others and could go about his business. He's been married for 60 years, has two kids, 4 Grandkids, is touring again or was, and is now a millionaire. He can make a living talking about his years with the Beatles. He didn't do too badly in the end.
I’m sure he feels that way most of the time but I couldn’t imagine the shame and self doubt he must’ve felt being kicked out of the greatest band in the history of
What about Paul in 1966
Lennon was murdered because he had funded terrorism.
Karmas a bitch
yep@@peterf08
I wish I could put on my resume, "1959-1962: Drummer for The Beatles".
I put 2019 to 2023 drummer for the beatles
I bet Pete does too. He joined them in 1960 and was rightly booted out in 1962.
@@scottandrewbrass1931sounds like something a paul mcartney cockk licker would say. Ringo starr cant even play drums properly. Ive heard better drums from sitting on the toilet
There were six Beatles..John,Paul,George,Ringo,Pete and Stu and that will be remembered forever.What an absolute top class gentleman 🫡
What about Chas ?
@@thekitowland Tony Sheridan
And Aunt Mimi. Don't forget her.
George Martin and Billy Preston don’t forget as well. The Beatles are the best. Cheers.

I will always remember meeting Pete during a soundcheck before his band's performance at the Sellersville Theater in PA (2008). I was guesting on bass for The Quarrymen & we were sharing the bill with The Pete Best Band & The Cryers. Pete saw right away how nervous I was & immediately put me at ease with his smile & embrace. And if that wasn't enough to leave a warm & memorable impression on me, fast - forward 8 hours later after all performances were done, we're all loading our gear outside & I see Pete with his crew getting ready to drive away (I hadn't spoken to him since our initial introduction), knowing it would be my only opportunity to ask for a photo with him, I approached him (more nervous than the first time), & to my shock he said "hey JB, how you doing?".....I could not believe he remembered my name. Every time I see that photograph, I see that same smile & embrace.Pete Best is a class act with a beautiful soul. God Bless you amigo 🤗
Dang, I live near Sellersville (Warrington ). I could have gone if I knew about it.
Very nice, is there someone who now Stewart Barnes from yorkshire England, born in 1945, and played with his wihte rose band at the Wembley country festival, backing all the American country artists, as slim Whitman, Carl perkins, buddy Emmons and menny more,, go to your TH-cam and just, with rose band Wembley, buddy Emmons, lots of love from belgium ivo opdebeeck
Pete is a real gentleman who bears no ill-will towards the others. Fair play to him.
Only because he had a nice little earner from royalties, he had paid to him for the Beatles anthology album which made him a millionaire which I think he deserved every penny. Him seeing the Beatles turn into superstars while he was working a regular job must have been soul destroying.
@@yell50 Not true Mark. Could you have resisted numerous attempts by the seedy press in the UK and many other countries to sell your story for an amount which would have bought you a nice house (and car) but always refused because of your personal dignity when he must have been smarting with jealousy and regret. I would say he's a stronger man than us!
No... he tried to commit suicide. Sad. Glad they gave him royalties because he was right there, when he was, so to speak.
@@daviddonnelly3529 a memo to myself: “judge not lest you be judged.”
@@kellykempkilroy If you read my comment again you will notice that I am praising Pete for his amazing resolve not to cash in on his experience with the Beatles and his sacking. I imagine I would have taken an offer from the press to make me feel better and put an amount of cash to good use , but Pete never ever spoke ill of Epstein or the other 3 Beatles . . Amazing.
It's hard not to love Pete. How can you not love the man! Beautiful soul.
I don't like him. He was a lousy drummer, he was a Mama's boy *(In a bad way)* , he took most of the spotlight from the boys, and he did nothing when one of his fans tried to punch Ringo in the face, but it led to George Harrison getting punched instead.
@@lisettegarcia7013 What was Pete to do,it was not his fight and he did not hang in the cavern with the band after being fired. As to his drumming,Ringo was much better but was he really a lousy drummer or just limited?
Great interview! It has to make him feel good that 100-200 years from now, he will be in the history books as the original drummer of a band that will be at the top of the list of 20th century artists. The name Pete Best will be around for many decades to come.
Tommy Moore was the Beatles' original drummer.
@@WhiteCamry
Colin Hanton was actually the first drummer but not while the band was called The Beatles. They were still The Quarrymen.
The second drummer was Tommy Moore
Third drummer was Norman Chapman
Fourth drummer was Pete Best
Last but not least the last & final drummer was Ringo Starr.
Back in 1978 a session drummer by the name of Bernard Purdie claimed that he had overdubbed drums for 21 Beatle recordings since 1963. He said that Brian Epstein paid him off & bought his silence about that
This was the cruelest twist of fate ever , but Pete somehow, kept going.
I have met him a few times and he’s a true gentleman and a heck of a nice guy.
I’m happy that he made some money from his time with the Beatles. It was well deserved.
All the Beatles, their incredible story and everyone in their orbit will forever be remembered and discussed. They are all in the history books.
A great interview!!!
That’s lovely to hear. What folks fail to realize is that Pete gives us a perspective that the others never talk about. That alone makes Pete a treasure trove of Beatle information.
He's like a lottery winner...he was just lucky that's all. God love him, but he wasn't a very good drummer. I say he was lucky in that the Beatles needed a warm body to take to Hamburg, but they had no intention of keeping him. So by associating with them he later made millions(Anthology) By all accounts he's a really nice person who got really lucky....not unlucky as it's painted. I mean who makes millions off being associated with a job they had for two years and were not good at?
@@elliegonzales8212 if you think about it lots of people do. Failed politicians, failed football managers and plenty of untalented people in the music business. Ok, Pete seems to have led a happy life and eventually got his windfall so he's not been unlucky in that respect. But the unique thing about Pete was that he missed out on being part of the biggest success story in pop music. A lot of people wouldn't have bounced back from a setback like that.
Pete didn't miss out on anything he was never meant to be the main member of the Beatles Ringo was Pete did his job well it's all perspective 🎉
@@kellykempkilroywhat about the drummers before Pete ?
Wonderful man very humble and charming and a joy to listen to.
Pete will always be a Beatle. Nobody can take that away from him.
Ex Beatle
@@thomaskemer8109 They're all ex-Beatles now
He had to leave The Beatles for them to be successful. His sacrifice was The Beatles' gift to the world
I love Pete Best!
What a sweet and humble guy!
hey pam the girls would sleep n his garden
What a gentleman. I admire Pete so much.
Pete's final comment made me teary and happy. He, together with the band members, was the driving force to grow the Beatles when they were all just music kids in Liverpool. I appreciate Pete for playing such an important role in the Beatles' history.
"Turned round and said," - I am counting. I'm 13 minutes in, and Pete's said it 23 times so far.
At least you now have something to write under 'hobbies' on your CV.
Lol
The boys will be remembered for centuries, in all their different groupings. Period.
And remember Stu Sutcliffe too.
Absolutely true! I'm a big fan of Stu. I'm sure he would have become an important and influential artist. And I'm sure Lennon's life would have taken a different path with his best friend by his side. 3:32
“Then he turned ‘round and said…”
Excellent interview. Lots of detailed info from Pete. He’s certainly a class act. 100%.
I think this is Pete at his most honest. He was told that they felt that Ringo was a better drummer. He said well that's a matter of opinion, but it was the opinion that counted the most, John, Paul and George's. I'm glad he finally was rewarded for his time in the band, and he seems at peace with how it worked out. Very good interview.
As I read his demeanour in this interview, I suspect now that Pete achieved some (deserved) public and financial recognition, in conjunction with the mellowing that accompanies age and reckoning which occurs with realisation by the age he is now of the futility of dwelling on past real or perceived grievances memento mori and relative imminence of that event brings, he is at last as at peace with events as will ever be possible for him whilst incarnate.
A matter of fact.
Pete Best never says how much he has been compensated for his part in the band. Over the last 30 years he HAS received royalties. It has been estimated to be more than a few million to give him a very comfortable retirement. It took a few decades to come to him but the truth is the band made the right decision to hire Starr. He had the personality and was a Beatle and fitted their purpose exactly. Listening to Best you hear a real gentleman talking, and the band wanted a personality and not someone who talks like a social worker or lay preacher.
Haha wow u been reading eneagram 🎉
Thank you Pete Best for the stories and for being with John, Paul and George in their formative years as a band..
Nice to hear about the early days. Very humble and getting recognised more so than ever.
Don't worry Pete you were always meant to be the first story of the Beatles like a training wheel you did your part well God saw😌😌
Thank you Pete Best. This is Gold Beatles History, coming from Beatles first Drummer, who was right there with the Fab4.
Once a Beatle always a Beatle
A class act and a true gentleman. Wish him all the very best. (Disgusting the way he was treated. Paul and the others were probably jealous of his good looks back then.)
UN HOMBRE CON MUCHOS PANTALONES COMO DECIMOS EN MEXICO, TANTO QUE AGUANTO Y VIO Y SIN EMBARGO ES UN HOMBRE ENTERO,SERENO,SIN VICIOS, EN PAZ, VINO A MEXICO, LO CONOCIMOS EN EL FESTIVAL BEATLE, ENCANTADOR, LE LLEVE UNOS PRESENTES COMO TANTA GENTE, ADMIRABLE,EL KARMA ALCANZO A LOS OTROS 2.AUNQUE AME A THE BEATLES.
Glad to see Pete get some $$$ royalties from the Beatles Anthology....his story has a lot of detail and insight for sure...
What a class act! No bitterness at all!
not so lucky for him to be in the company of one of the best band in the world with only a little knowledge on drums
What a lovely guy,legend for sure. Much respect Pete
Really enjoy listening to Pete tell his story and I've watched it over and over. Seems like a sound bloke and I'm glad he eventually got looked after (mainly due to his close friend Neil Aspinall it seems). It's quite interesting that this video, after getting 18k views in its first year has suddenly picked up another 11k in about a month. I wonder if it's part of a trend or just the random nature of TH-cam.
Wow, what an incredible story Pete has to tell. Without Pete, there may have been no Beatles as we know them. The indepth early years of the Beatles that I've never heard about. Thank you, Pete. What a blessing it is for you to have been a part of the most famous band in the world.
Congratulations 🎊
Interesting. You never know what may come around the corner. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. Some interesting bits of history here. So nice of Pete to share and stay available. good for him, and us!
Truthfully and this is no disrespect to Pete from what I have heard and read it wasn’t just his drumming. It was also his refusal to wear his hair in the Beatle style, not dressing the same as the other 3, his not hanging with them after shows, and most not showing up for shows . Make no mistake I feel the way he was told was flat out wrong. And the sad fact they never talked to him again. This definitely is one of the biggest what if’s in rock and roll.
They got a previous manager to sack Len from the quarrymen & had Pete done the last three gigs ( as he agreed ) they would have spoken to him face to face. Even Pete’s fans said he was never one of them but George Martin’s comments ultimately sealed Pete’s fate.
Wow those final words can only come from a gentleman ... I salute you Mr Best !
Great story teller! Smart man, articulate, and humble. I think he could have been an asset to them in some capacity. I'm sure he had a fine life and kept his anonymity. You are loved Pete!
Treasure trove of memories. He will forever be one of the band, like it or not Pete Best WAS 100% a Beatle, he was replaced and history took over, but he was in the band and nothing can change that.
John, Paul, and George had every right to sack Pete to make room for Ringo, but the way they did it was shameful.
ALOT of members were booted from ALOT of bands.... Pete is the most famous.
A class act. I would love to go back in time and see them at the Cavern or in Hamburg when he was with them.
Ole Pete sure has encountered a lot o' blokes what "tuhned round" and then said something.
Yes,a lot of people turned around aind said something.
I'm wondering if the
*Tavistock* made
him turn around 33
*Times* 🤭🤐
I'm surprised regularly with Pete interviews that nobody has ever advised him that he turns around so many times and perhaps he shouldn't say that all the time. I met him a few years ago and he was a nice bloke and he didn't turn round
Many blessings will come your way, Pete.
You're a good person with a good heart.
May u receive good karma for the rest of your life. You deserve it.
Everyone 'turned round' alot in those days.
Great interview.
33 times no doubt
*Dada da* (33)
can switch you off
like a 💡and in a heartbeat. ❣️
I was looking for this comment 😂
To be fair, half was said in German.
I'm glad Mr Best got compensation from the Anthology series etc.
As for slang words I've a friend in East Tennessee, USA, who frequently used the term "and they turned around and said..."
Interesting how old country phrases live on in the 21 century in America.
Pete Best is a class act
His mother Mona did a lot to help the Beatles in their early days.
Its disapointing that John Lennon said in an interview that they grabbed Pete to play drums for the Hamburg trip because his mother owned a club. As though Mona had hardly anything to do with the Beatles. Which in reality was not true. She threw them a lifeline by letting them perform at her place when they were thinking of disbanding in the early days during a tough period. Also she was able to get them a regular gig at the Cavern. Then went on to given them bigger bookings after that.
Pete has real class about him. He is a really genuine humble guy.
I adore listening to Pete Best. His delivery and humility are so wonderful to the ear and eye. He’s an irreplaceable cog in the history of rock and roll, and we’re lucky to have him.
But, yeah, Ringo was way better, sorry.
Great interview with Pete
Pete is s humble man snd great survivor❤
Pete,though not a stellar drummer,can hold his head high for a life well lived and his place in music history. Always seemed like a very nice man in all of his interviews.
I understand so well what this gentleman went through. As a young lad I was kicked out of my band and my dream was taken away from me in a cold manner. When you think you are among mates but the money creeps in, friendship goes through the window. The others got a fat advance from a deal that never went ahead and I moved along with my life as it normally happens.
This is a great interview! Pete really sounds like he has moved on from his sad fate with the Beatles. It's a good thing that although late, he's been finally compensated for his time with them. He will always be part of their musical history.
The Early Adventures! Pete was there in the formative years. They sound fun and also quite tough. Great to hear the truth. Good to know that he earned something from the anthology series.
pete is a great story teller i was hanging on every word,,hats off to mr best
Pete always conducted himself very well. I hope he is happy. I think he is.
What a fabulous interview with a great man ❤❤❤❤
This really hurts. Why couldn't he have been a creep and an as..hole? Hurts so much to see such a kind, decent man to be twisted SO viciously by fate.
To an extent but it really boiled down to the fact that by the time they became a recording band in 1962, he simply was not the right drummer. George Martin even had issues with Ringo on the first recording. Regardless while Pete Best certainly did suffer in the 60’s, he was able to make a life of himself and make some money from being an original member of the Beatles. It was a humble life but he has done well for himself. Compare this to the extreme fame of The Beatles. Think about this, it resulted in one (John) being murdered by a crazed fan and another (George) being brutally attacked/stabbed in his own home by a crazed fan. In other words, being a famous Beatle came at an extreme cost. Perhaps Pete Best’s humble life wasn’t so bad after-all.
@@drummer78 so true. but so good to hear they had a different life from what we knew of. Jail???? Hysterical!
Pete has CLASS, CLASS and CLASS !!!!!!
This is gold gold gold gold gold Gold bless Pete best that's why you got your millions 💚💛
He seems such a nice and honourable guy. So sad what he went through, but he'swon his own battle in the end.
I loved working with Besty in the reording industry. We made good music and played good gigs. He's a walking talking metronome.
I'm so glad I took the time to watch this fascinating video. It is undoubtedly the best interview with a former Beatle that I've ever seen. Pete has a great memory and is a wonderful storyteller.
I met Pete around 2001 - he was really nice, a true gentleman, kind - took a pic with Pete - he recently provided the first film of the Beatles performing in their leather jackets for the NOW AND THEN video that Peter Jackson directed - hope Pete and Paul get to meet up one more time in person and chat
Pete… a class act. Someone needs to arrange a meeting between him and Paul BEFORE they sail off into the sunset. Now that would be lovely.
I agree. With Ringo, too.
If they did it, it would probably be in private.
@@classicovideo3503 perhaps later. Ringo is not in the equation because he wasn’t in the Beatles at that point. Let Pete and Paul meet first over a pint, break the ice and afterwards, Ringo could get involved. BTW… Pete said that he and Ringo were mates. All the interviews I’ve heard from Ringo, he never mention Pete as a mate or his name for that matter. Pete said he doesn’t blame Ringo at all. Like I said, Pete’s a class act.
Why? Pete wasn’t really friends with Paul (more like work colleagues) so any meeting would be disingenuous. Move on Pete.
@@donna25871 friend… you miss the point. Both of them had a “Beatle History” together. Whether one likes it or not. Pete is an integral part of their early history. Pete said he was always open to a meeting with Paul. For us Beatle fans, that would be a heart warming moment. Don’t you think? I know others would agree with me on this. Thanks for your comment.
"Paul" is not Paul.
He sounds like a lovely guy, well done Pete
The thing is, back then in the summer of 62, no one had any idea how things would turn out.
How could they?
Neil getting caught between Pete's mum and the Beatles must have been an incredibly difficult situation.
George Martin did an interview in which he confirmed that Best's drumming was not acceptable. He seems to have had a dizzy life - all that turning around.
so would you be 😳 turning around all the time if the 33 had just
fired🔥 you..🙄ffs
"rotten bastard 👁️👎
Pete was paid tens of millions of dollars in royalties 30 years after being replaced. I don’t have an exact figures but it’s nice to see him acknowledged considering the pain he would’ve suffered while the Beatles blew up.
Pete has had a decent career. A lesser man would’ve crawled in a cave and never returned.
One saving grace is he’s been able to play with the Beatles for 2 years of his life. Sad that life doesn’t always work as we plan but in the end it all works out
He did attempt suicide, after having his former band mates drag his name through the mud. Once the lie was told that he wasn’t a good enough drummer enough times, there was no amount of talent he could have shown people to prove otherwise JPG and Yes even R all said really nasty things about Pete and people believed it.
There are many examples here on TH-cam that prove he is not a good drummer. And Ringo was even at that time a far better drummer . I have never heard or read any negative statement of the other Beatles about Pete or his personality. On the contrary Pete was often telling the story it was jealousy that they dumped him e.g. Paul was jealous that Pete was better looking and the girls were more crazy about him. But Paul said never ever anything negative about Pete. Even when the interviewer tried to provoke any negative statement. The only thing Paul would say is that they liked Ringo's drumming much better.
Well, but it is nothing to be ashamed of when you are not good enough to play with John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison. It was a professional decision and the following events prove that decision right.
@@linchen008there’s a video where Lennon explicitly calls him a “lousy drummer” and says they were always plotting to dump him. Can you imagine that? Not just a former friend, but arguably the most famous artist of all time bad mouthing your talent?
@@charliewalker723 yes, he called him a lousy drummer and had no talent but he didn't say anything negative about Pete as person or something bad about his character. Pete seems to be a decent guy. But he is not a good drummer. Any producer he worked with, said his drumming is not good enough on a professional level. I think he'd had plenty of occasions to learn and to do better. But maybe Pete thought, looking good and being the favourite of the girls was enough. He never took any criticism of professional people in the industry seriously and worked on his skills. He was not interesting in becoming a better musician. That's the reason we never heard of him again as a musician. And yes, when I work on a professional level I have to take criticism and do something about it, when I want to keep the job.
You get the job to do it well and not because you are a nice person. Lennon was one of the best in his profession and a perfectionist and Petes' skills are in comparison with Lennons', well, "lousy".
But Lennon also said in that interview that Pete looked nice and was nice and the fans liked him. But anyway Pete was a Beatle and part of the success. And they paid him for that and he got the credit for it.
That is, you can't, you know, tune in, but it's alright
That is, I think it's not too bad
It was John Lennon who said in an interview --- not long before he was assassinated, btw, even when he was angry and bitter by that stage of his life: "Don't you realize that only a few hundred people ever saw the real Beatles? I mean, when we played in Hamburg, then the Cavern, then back to Hamburg, and back to the Cavern again. That's when we were the real Beatles, in 1960, '61, and '62, the four of us, and we were really rockin' in our leather gear. That's when we were truly The Beatles, and almost the entire world never saw it."
Hold on a moment: 1960...'61...'62? What four Beatles was he talking about?!?
And wasn't it Graham Nash who said (see interview here: th-cam.com/video/9hPgzptEMT4/w-d-xo.html): "I first met the Beatles on November 19, 1959. And everybody knew --- every girl, every kid --- knew that when they looked at them, something special was about it. Y'know, they were four kids, and you couldn't get inside that. They (the Beatles) took care of themselves. And everybody knew that."
Wait a minute: 1959? And then 1960... '61....'62? Who exactly was Graham Nash talking about?
Yes, that's when the four of them -- John, Paul, George, and Peter --- were The Beatles. Sure, there was Beatlemania, with those hundreds of screaming fans throwing themselves at the group...well, most of them were screaming and throwing themselves at Pete, that is, who looked like a Hollywood movie star, the one that every other drummer in Liverpool called "the greatest rock 'n roll drummer of all time," granted --- but, yes, there was Beatlemania back then.
Sometimes I wonder: Will the real story of The Beatles ever be told?
All the best to Pete.
Por mais que lamente a triste história do Pete Best, a verdade é que Ringo Starr era o baterista ideal para os The Beatles. Eles não seriam The Beatles sem o Ringo. Por mais duro que possa ter sido para o Pete Best, foi a melhor decisão que tomaram.
...see what I mean.😳
BS! It wouldn't take 2 years to decide on who is a better drummer. Jealousy is the reason! No wonder the Beatles broke up sooner than they should have. So, stop blaming Pete or Yoko ffs! Lmfao!
@@sundarmann6167 It took two years to chance The drummer because thet were touring in Hamburg ando they didn't have another drummer With a drum kit and Ringo was in another Band. How come It be jealousy?! Pete Best is a terrível drummer!!!!
Yoko was far worse than Pete, she was/is a mean nasty bitch.
He could have been bitter and could have spent the decades since mudslinging the others....but he really has been (by and large) quite a class act since. This interview is a great look at a guy who was a Beatle....who has some great historical stories from those days. I'm not here to judge his drumming quality or debate why he got canned or whether or not his bandmates treated him badly or not.
💛
Recieved a nice payout after Anthology.
I’ve heard them all speak. Pete is the best man of any Beatle. If I had to pick anyone of them to be my friend, Pete would be my friend the rest of never make the cut. Period.
If it wasn't for sarcasm, John would have been mute. And the others caught his disease.
This is a great interview I’ve never heard the other Beatles talk about Hamburg in such detail, it’s so engrossing Pete Best seemed such a decent guy I’m so pleased he got something from the 1st Anthology album, he really deserves it, he was a Beatle during a period we’re they developed musically beyond recognition.
This is a lovely interview..! Should be part of the Anthology, so many details about Hamburg new to (even) me
He preserved his German snippets from their Hamburg time pretty well 😎✌🏻
He was part of the whole story, for sure. I respect him.
Poor Pet, only if he had better timing.
If only you had better spelling.
The fact he barely spent any time with them ( in Hamburg & in Liverpool ) there was also a personality divide .
Respect Pete but in sixties it must have been a very hard time for you. A very hard.
This reminds me of Ian Stewart. He was in the band for The Rolling Stones at the very beginning, until he wasn't. At least he became their studio session man and tour manager.
Ian had the best deal out of it all, he got to be in the Stones without being in the Stones.
Pete is s Beatle ❤
Lovely interview.
Pete you've outlived tons of people who were part of the Beatles...And your a much better guy than Bingo Car, who now hates Liverpool.
The worst part of the Pete Best situation was the way it was handled, so callously. But they were very young and young men do stupid things and behave badly especially if they have the wrong advice from people. I think Paul should apologize even though it's been many years. Other than that, being part of the Beatles was probably a phenomenal experience in some ways but it didn't make them happy people. Pete's life is every bit as valuable without it.
In the hearts of the fans you are a Beatle! Your solo record is in the Beatles Hall of Fame. Cheers!
He's no beatle
@@Therealderry433 He is an ex-Silver Beatles beatle.
@@LaMYsteriosa87 I know who he is.
@@Therealderry433 That's not the matter of the question. You claimed he is no beatle; I disproved that claim.
@@LaMYsteriosa87 have a day off 🤡
There just came a point with the band where John Paul and George wanted to up their game as musicians and make a real serious go at being a band and Pete just wasn't matching their energy, and this manifested itself in a number of ways. Whhat also didn't help was that the Beatles friend and road manager Niel Aspinall was in a relationship with Pete's mother, which was more than a little awkward.
Pete forever, Ringo never!!!
what a great guy
Seems like a lovely guy and apparently back in those days, people would turn around before they spoke.
Pete is an honorable gent ❤
How magnanimous
He's a curiosity. He was never at their level; period.
A mannequin could have replaced Ringo. Period.
Pete was a very good musician. He didn't have the "I don't give a f**k" attitude that the others had which seemed to be cheeky as John would say.
@@mitch2620 poor Ringo never high in the brains dept but he went along to get along and never questioned anything.
No real Ringo to be found
@@mitch2620 nah. Ringo has personality and more talent than pete
He was the Harpo of the quartet.
What a great interview. Pete Best is good man. I like to think what the Beatles would have been if they kept Pete?
I was lucky enough to visit the Casbah last Saturday for the annual Best Fest. 5 live bands including the Pete Best Band playing old school Rock & Roll and Beatles songs in a tiny basement under his mother's house. Bliss!
One of the many artifacts on display was Pete's statement to the German Police about the Bambi Kino fire. What amused me about it was that he said they'd set fire to a cord or a strip of tape. Obviously too polite or embarrassed in those days to call it a condom. 😢
Pete maintained and preserved his humility which couldn't really say about the rest save George. To be fair imho he is better off with that than all the tea in China!God bless him
Everything happens for a reason, a lot of troubles came with being a Beatle. It wasn’t meant to be!
this is the second time I saw this,,Pete missed his calling ,,he has a gift for detail ,I love to listen to him tell the story,,his memory ,his narrative,pete you should make a dramatic Beatle movie Beatles,,no one has done this,,Beatles a to z,,do it Pete.......
To many people it seems sad that Pete Best didn't go on and have a career with The Beatles. Fame and fortune can have it's price. The best thing to have in life is happiness and good health, not just fame and fortune. Many celebrities don't actually like it and some found it hard to deal with. Even the Beatles decided to end and sadly Lennon was shot by some obsessed crazed nut. There have been a few drummers for The Beatles, but, Pete Best is the original and is one very nice guy. Hope he enjoys to have a happy long life.
Also, don’t forget George who was stabbed in his own home by a crazed fan. That level of fame was a curse in many ways.
sooner or later he have to go.thats the planned of john paul & george.
Great guy. I have never heard a bad word from him about his ejection.
Like winning the lottery then loosing the ticket 😢
