I fell in love with her when I saw her in the 60s classic movie "To Sir With Love" Blue I used to work in the school where To Sir With Love was filmed. Never saw Lulu though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarning Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 rather than start yet another Beatles thread thought I'd post in this one, anyone see the documentary on BBC4 the other week "Made on Merseyside"? I found it quite interesting, obviously done without official Beatles backing, no Lennon and Macca tracks played, but was really nice to see Pete Best in a good place and eventually getting his financial rewards, worth a look for any Beatles fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to meeting him, he is supposed to be a lovely guy. I'm not a Beatles fan in any way but looking forward to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds great 😀 As this has been resurrected, I might as well say I actually quite like the Beatles now despite still having most of the same problems with em I had initially, especially Ringo's drumming.

It's only very recently I've cone to realise how crucial to that tight rock and roll sound in the early years Ringo was - some of the high quality Beatles film of the early 60s around shows it very clearly. Majorly underrated. McCartney has said part of the freedom for him to be creative on the bass stemmed from Ringo's approach.

chris_b Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Ringo wasn't a technical wizard on drums, but he changed the concept of the instrument for every drummer that came after. He introduced the idea of "lead" drumming. After Ringo, drummers could play anything. Listen to Steve Gadd on 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover. There is a direct line from Ringo to the drum pattern on that song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I too used to think Ringo was a bad drummer, but I've come to realise he is very unique, and I don't think any other rock drummer could have played with the Beatles with the same effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point, I never thought of Ringo as a lead drummer but he totally is, Ticket to ride, Come together, Tomorrow never knows all great examples. Just had a listen to 50 ways and I totally agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
