A Beatle can talk for as long as he wants
No one tosses a Beatle
True enuf.
Only just watched this and this was long overdue

George: “If we knew we were going to be the Beatles, we would have tried harder.”
So true. They didn't even practiced their instruments. They justt had a gift and let it flow through them
@@seres-de-luz Paul has said the music of the cosmos just came to them, on some songs he said they had to work for.
Ulises Calvo of course they practiced, they played pretty much 24/7 in Hamburg
@@Michael-hc2vs Only Paul and George substantially improved on their instruments over the 1963 - 1970 period though. John and RIngo not so much.
@@pascalecnto68 True, but during the period of time they were in Hamburg (which was stated above) they played around 8 hours everyday for a period of 3 months (?) I believe. Performing is practice, but yes you are correct in saying they did not practice. I feel like when you are just composing music, if you can play everything you want to write (in some cases you do not even have to do this) then you really do not need to spend as much time grinding technique and other elements of practice. Not trying to say you are wrong, just wanted to state my opinion.
" you think you're a big star
until you walk into a room with one of the Beatles..."
~ Eric Clapton
It is true ?!! If so, please tell me the source 😊😊
@@chalchotepaanilaa5293 oh just a comment i believe heard him say in an interview years ago about being famous
I believe he quoted that from "Act Naturally"
From God himself
Or jump into bed with one of the Beatles' wives.
"My name is Ringo, And I play drums." Man, I gotta learn how to introduce myself like that.
Yes you are.
Yes you do.
That was so hilarious.
Take it your called Ringo and play the drums or else it wouldn't work
Oh yeah
You have to have a couple of classic hit songs that will last to the end of the earth. Live past singers and bands that you influenced and made a name for themselves. Also have a certain age. Until then good luck brotha.
"After the things I've sat through, tonight!"
He deserves to get voted in just for that.
What was he referring too?
yeah what was he referring to??
Jayesh Ajitsaria Paul taps his watch implying ringos going long then ringo makes a joke about the long speeches about ringo that happens before his
Beatles sense of humor. Brilliant!
Shane Wright ...Said Sir Topham Hatt.
“My name is Ringo and I play drums” almost brought me to tears. He’d say that during the early recorded soundtracks/videos of The Beatles where they’d just fool around and have fun. Those boys were exceptional 🥺
He is just so cool 😎
Love how he doesnt give a shit how hes taking up too much time.
YOU CANT TELL A BEATLE TO GET OFF STAGE. THEY LEAVE WHEN THEY WANT TO LEAVE.
He knows he'll only have this opportunity once and wants to make the most of it.
I wish that he'd have stayed longer.
And that's why Paul stood there the whole time
He should have said, " You made me wait this long to get here, now you are going to have to listen to me for a bit longer. "
Plus HIS was the LAST induction of the night, so there was NO ONE else after him and he had to hear even longer speeches than his, before him! It lasted from 7pm until after MIDNIGHT. I know because I attended the Rock Hall Live Simulcast at the Rock Hall which is only a few blocks from Public Auditorium where the Induction ceremony for 2015 was held in Cleveland. It was the same place where The BEATLES PLAYED on Sept. 15, 1964, I was at that concert. SO it was NICE to see the BACK on that SAME stage again!!
Ringo can talk for hours and hours , nobody will get tired of it, he is a Rock and Roll encyclopedia, wonderful!
Sir Ringo is the best part of a hard day's night film
And they’ll always be the best of the best. Who can say I was a Beatle besides those 4 guys? Nobody that’s a high horse
Rock royalty..
What a great guy , who wouldn't want to hang out with Ringo ... humble & funny
And high as F-
@@theboig6229 Unlikely. Ringo has been sober for 30 years. If his speech sounds a little slurred, that might be due to age. But the only thing that Ringo is high on these days is Peace and Love.
@Bjarke Stemann I love all of the Beatles' storytelling abilities!
It sucks, that John and George weren't there to cheer Ringo on, with Paul. They'd have been there, too!
@@waynej2608 they were "THERE" with and represented by their widows, Yoko and Olivia
I love how he tells the story like he’s telling his grandkids. So humble and chill.
Ringo actually did the voiceover for a few years on Thomas the Tank Engine in the UK. It was so lovely to listen to. I used to read the books to my son in Ringo's voice/accent (he was a lot more Liverpudlian on the voiceovers in the late 80's). So I guess he has that drawl, making it sound like a simple story he's telling
@@rigatone watch Alice in wonderland
Gather round kids it's story time with papa ringo
When I see McCartney and Ringo together nowadays with them being the only 2 Beatles left I feel like crying - not even ashamed to admit it! X 😎👌🎶✌️
yes mate,like i started my first band a beatles copy band age11 and with hands that didant open,i opened my left playing so bass much,and is still the only one that opens,and hay i have a 1963 hofner violin bass now,taught 2 that became music teachers,2 that won national championships,,and did gigs like supporting the rocky horror show uk tour 1983 and getting over 1k people singing ;-)
Yes Rob, I'm a big Beatle fan myself.as a person of color,to see only Paul and ringo up there,I just want to tear up emotionally.l hope these two outlive us all.god bless George and good bless John.
I always feel a sense of loss, because how the world lost John, it was just so horrific, an unimaginable way to loose someone, unthinkable. And George, to loose a battle with cancer, at such a young age 58, so sad he was too young. But they were the most beautiful band all time, I'm just grateful for the fact they inducted him while he's still alive.
Love you Ringo, oh and Paul, George and John 😁
Join the club.
Samee
Nobody is going to cut Ringo off, especially after the things he has sat through.
Ringo reminds us of what it is like to be young. He seems forever young.
Yes, this was filmed in 2015, and here it is 2020 and he just turned 80 years old a few days ago. Ringo is ageless........
Ooohh yes he is Forever Young, and I admire that so much. Ringo is such an inspiration.
My first man crush!
I don't know how he does it. He doesn't look, act or move like an 80 year old. I need to get transfused with a unit of his blood.
@@MrCabimero I think transfusions may play a part in it tbh.
He really needs his own late night talk show.
I would love to listen to him maybe he should do a podcast or something
I just love how Paul is standing there waiting patiently
Paul and Ringo really are mates for eternity. The look in Pauls eyes...he really loves Ringo.
A surviving Beatle is allowed to speak as long as he should bless us for.
The last survivor in fact.
I've got blisters on my fingers!
Is that him saying that? And on which song?
@@josemeda4592 helter skelter
laudarevsonhunt How’d that happen then ?
winterlandboy helter skelter was such a hard and loud song that on the last take, ringo yelled the famous line
laudarevsonhunt *ME* FINGERS! Get it right damn u!
Grohl is like 7 years old kid giggling😁
Thats probably his hero on stage.
Yes. Dave loves Beatles.
Dave Grohl worships Ringo.
Grohl wants attention
@@FuturCrayon Not really his fault they kept cutting to him lol
Love that he says ‘George, John and Paul’ in alphabetical order. Shows he valued them equally
He said George first because he was closest to George.
@@nathonalexavier1505 yeah that’s true George loved his first wife Maureen. 😂😂😂😂
i think you’re looking a bit too into it
@@jobama9909 definitely am but let’s pretend for happiness’ sake
@@nathonalexavier1505 does that mean he wasn’t close with Paul?
Paul has never been great at expressing his emotions in public but in here he was obviously touched, and got a little teary eyed watching his brother being loved and celebrated by the world!
✌✌
-Ringo Starr
It's so cute
😄
More like ✌😎✌
✌🏾✌🏾
They ask Ringo on a Wednesday if he wanted to join the Beatles and his answer was not now I am busy you have to wait till Saturday priceless
Dave Grohl fangirling over Ringo is my favorite part about this!😂
hard same
The love between Paul and Ringo is genuine, it shows.
And the world loves...Paul & Ringo !
“My name is Ringo and I play drums”
10/10 intro
I love how in the very beginning Paul kisses Ringo on the cheek, hugs him, and rubs the back of his head. You can tell those two men adore each other and are true friends. Super sweet.
and the was RIngo hugs him at that moment. I'm sure he wouldn't want anyone else inducting him.
Only if John and George could've been there
They were
@@Lucas-yj1eu i'm not crying there's just dust in both of my eyes
They were there. They were cheering him on
There watching from heaven
yep. would have been great. but there were there in spirit.
Ringo can talk as long as he wants, I love him.
The Beatles are the greatest band that ever graced the planet earth. All four inducted as Beatles and ALL FOUR AS SOLO ARTISTS no band has or will ever achieve that feat.
Indeed man
And there's QUEEN.
@@BessieAlcira queen is great, but not as big and influential as the beatles.
I love Queen as much as the Beatles, but the members of Queen haven’t been inducted as individuals. To my knowledge, only the Beatles have been inducted as a group and as individuals
@@glh7728 they are as big as the Beatles just one step below them. Don't underestimate them.
Ringo is an international treasure. He must be protected at all costs.
Hello dear,how are you doing?
Watching that little goofy moment between Ringo and Paul as he goes up onto the stage is magic.
Hello dear,how are you doing?
I love watching Ringo and McCartney in interviews. They've been in the spotlight for so long they both have a cool easiness and swagger in front of an audience.
And George. RIP
He's in his mid 70s here and he looks in 40s/50s, this guy makes no sense!
He make all the sense posible. He is Forever Young.
The most interesting Rock band member to hear talking.
He said he plays the drums with his emotions. You can always tell when Ringo is on drums, as he has a very unique style, just perfect for the Beatles. He was the heart of the Beatles, irreplaceable. He said in 1964, I remember it well, "I'd like to end up sort of unforgettable"....Mission: accomplished.
Hello dear,how are you doing?
Ringo always seems like such a genuinely nice guy. I'm glad he got the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame nod.
Ringo is from the future u can't deny that
phước thịnh lê he’s a fuckin legend
“Ringo are you from the future?” Family guy
Finally Ringo Starr -- the heartbeat of The Beatles - gets his due. 'Love Ringo... he's just such a "real" guy. It's interesting to hear his take on the little-known stories of the early days of the greatest band in history. Thank you, Ringo... I know you won't be here forever - but I'm glad you're here now... and I'm even more glad that you were there -- in The Beatles -- back then...when history was made.
I just love Ringo and his stories! And then his awesome humor..."Am I holding you?"😂
As the wee lad lay in his hospital bed a fairy was flying by. "Why so sad, little guy?" " I'm in pain and been ill for so long, I've missed school and I'm really unhappy." "Never mind," said the fairy. "One day you'll be famous and become one of the best drummers in the world .Every one will know your name. Oh, and they'll call you Sir Richard Starkey." "Yeah, right, I don't think so," said the boy. And with that the fairy flew on, smiling a little smile.
Ringo should book a tour where he just rambles on and imparts his knowledge and recollections. He is a great story-teller.
Ringo, the funny one, hes a cool guy, and hes 80 years, today. Happy birthday Richard.
I’m sure very few people in the entire world would approach ringo Starr and tap their watch lol. Two legends just appreciating the praise that at this point is undeniably deserved. Few humans have the impact world wide that they did
Only Paul could have done that. Nobody else alive could
When he said it as brilliantly as "I'm Ringo and I play drums!" That was the most powerful thing in its simplicity! That's just how the Beatles were. Very efficient, no wasted energy. They were extremely successful because of their work ethic as much as anything else they did.
So true! Also it shows how iconic he is/they are, just two key words and everyone knows who this legend is. No need for words.
I feel The Beatles rarely said or did anything to impress anyone outside the group, especially when joking around and being cheeky, so they didn't appear as insincere or fake. It's lovely to remember just how close they were, and how they were a private club which allowed us all to enjoy their gifts as musicians as well as very entertaining speakers.
Let the man talk! This might be the only acceptance speech I’d listen to for hours.
Paul wasn't serious. He was just joking around with Ringo.
✌God bless you George✌
✌God bless you John✌
It is so wonderful that Paul and Ringo still play together....
I could listen to Ringo for a month and not get bored...true legend...
Ringo mentions how close they were as mates. Honors John and George. Paul kisses his cheek. Peace and love: deep in their hearts.
Ringo's drumming on She Said She Said & Rain, his cool riffs/patterns on Come Together & Ticket to Ride, fabulous. The Beatles changed my life when I first heard them in 1963, aged 13, I'm now 70 and those records still sound as fresh and vital, and he was part of that, part of the groove, keeping it loose and funky. Lets put it this way, he deserves to be in the Hall more than many of the previous inductees...Green Day anyone?
Trevor Mortimer Ticket to Ride’s drum pattern was written by Paul
Big Sky Blue where’d you read that?
I’m 15. Love rock n roll, love elvis, love the Beatles etc... amazing how the power of rock n roll and The Beatles’ genius still lives and prospers today.
I think you picked out all of Ringo's favourite drum parts from the Beatles.
@@aedan2063 It's well known.
"If you fart, own up." WISDOM
Blame the dog.
@@tonyb9735 lol
Really famous people almost never grow out of the decade they were famous, Magic Johnson the 80s, Steven Tyler the 70s, Dave Grohl the 90s, just as examples, Magic still has that love and energy of the 80s, Dave Grohl still explains things like a giddy punk rocker from the 90s, so when Ringo hits you with the double peace sign, it feels like the peace and love from the 60s. Great Induction by Paul and wonderful acceptance by the best drummer ever!
It's honestly curious how watching anything related to Paul and Ringo tears me up. Bless these guys man ❤
after watching the "get back" docu from disney+ ...my respect to him tripled! he is so lazer focused in his role as the drummer
It’s beautiful seeing Paul and Yoko admiring their good ‘ol chum, Ringo.
The Beatles never seemed to take THEMSELVES too seriously. That has always been one of their biggest charms to me (oh, and a boatload of talent, too).
I could listen to any of the four, all day. "Photograph", always brings a tear to my eye. What a beautiful piece of writing. There's not a single person who can tell you it does nothing for them emotionally. It's an every person's song. If there was a list of songs I'd want to listen to leaving this life, it'd be on there. Just a beautiful man with a huge heart and unfettered talent.
Ringo performed Photograph at The Concert for George --it brought me to tears.
The way Paul and Ringo greet each other once Ringo gets onstage is so adorable.
I could listen to Ringo reminisce for hours.
Never changes. Always a good guy.
Dave Grohl is just standing there having the time of his life. Lucky man
The 4 of them together were just magic.
I love the many shots of Dave Grohl adoring Ringo. Two most iconic drummers in the world
It is interesting watching Paul as he pays close attention to Ringo while he talks.
With one hand in pocket just so Richard doesn't say anything awkward
Bloody hell everybody should hear the great Ringo Starr telling rock ’n’ roll stories for a good laugh. So genuine, so lovely. Keep it up Ringo, wish you very good health. Peace & love😊🥁😊
RIngo has a wonderful sense of humor.
Ringo is so cool
Ringo doesn't let anybody or any circumstances affect his chill demeanor. He's going to take the amount of time he is going to take, period.
best speech ever...it's got REAL stories we NEED to hear.
Even now, as the Beatles are 80, 79, 78 and 77, they are still out in front, still several levels above, still untouchable and still the absolute best. God bless ‘em, every one. You will never beat a Beatle.
Wealth and fame hasn't eaten away at Ringos soul...it's his 80th birthday today...still looking younger every day! Happy Birthday Ringo!
Live long sir Ringo 🥰
Hello dear,how are you doing?
Ringo has always had a wit that never ends , his talent and good humour makes him the type of drummer every bands needs
Ringo, you are a treasure! Been a fan forever! Thank you forever for just simply being real!
Its like Listening to a “Thomas the Train “ narrative.
I think you mean ‘Tank Engine’
Cool Coyote I think Ringo was the narrator for a little
He was the narrator of Thomas the tank engine
@@Joe_the_Shmoe we're not on reddit just say that's the joke
Pieces of sweet life Mr. Conductor! ✌🏻🚂
And in Get Back, we have seen him own up to his fart. What a legend.
Ringo has the perfect balance of not being to overbearing and playing just the right way for each song he plays in. Beatles song Tomorrow Never Knows is one of my favorite Ringo rhythms.
Tomorrow never knows! Ringo rarely spoke up, but when he did, the others listened. His opinion was well taken
Paul over there looks like he is having some flashbacks
The BEAT of THE BEATLES!
It's amazing to see Ringo Starr then at 75 years old enjoying his time like he don't aged much at all. He really was the coolest Beatle! 🥁🎤
Everyone is awed by Paul. To Ringo he’s just a mate. Ringo fills a room.
I saw Ringo Starr at Washington DC on July 4th 1983 he filled in for the beach boys drummer. WILD.
Can you imagine having been present at this event. This unforgettable content is what the internet was made for.
Ringo the amazing storyteller with such wit and intelligence.He is also one amazing talent with gratitude and a unique uplifting spirit."Peace and love"
The greatest speech, I've ever heard.
I'm glad he carried on talking... one of the most interesting prize induction speeches I've ever heard; Ringo sharing his early experience(s) of rock 'n' roll. I was sorry Paul didn't give Ringo more credit for coming up with incredibly perfect accompaniment for so many Beatles tracks. But Paul's brilliant himself, so... anyway, rock on, Ringo
I recall when they 1st came here, a reporter was asking this long involved question. Ringo's answer "Don't Ask Me. I'm Only the Drummer."
I think I could sit and listen Ringo, or any of the other Beatles, talk for hours. They’ve each led such interesting lives.
Hello dear,how are you doing?
gotta just love Ringo, cause well he's Ringo🥁 and he plays drums😁😁😊
Love seeing Paul and Ringo together
Hello dear,how are you doing?
Wow Barbara Bach still looks magnificent.. and Ringo looks like 35 years younger and acts it also .
Ringo's description of Luxembourg is hilarious.
Population of 6 lol
Ringo is a true Liverpool lad at heart, his humour is classic Scouse, just like me, a Liverpool lad by birth. I was lucky to be a teenager when the Beatles kicked it all off and shook the world. How lucky was i
Let the man speak- I’ll listen to every word! Peace and love to you always Ringo! God bless you!
Ringo and George were my favorite Beatles
Lovely bloke Ringo, I do miss them all playing together.
That hug at the beginning... so sweet.
Ringo has one of the most beautiful "narrative" voices ever. It's always a pleasure to listen to him.that seems a good place to go😂😂😂
me realizing a lot of people are still standing respect
Age 9 these guys changed my life, changed our world ♥️
