    I think it’s funny how shocked people are about Ringo’s youthful appearance. He’s a vegan, he’s been sober for decades, and he works out two hours per day. Plus, musicians naturally get a very physical, creative, psychological, and spiritual release from all the pain and suffering we experience as humans. People who don’t create generally keep a lot of baggage and toxic bs in their systems, and that causes all sorts of health problems. Just by playing the drums, you feel immensely better about life after just one hour of rocking. So....Buy a guitar, or a drum kit, or start painting. It’ll keep you young at heart.

    @stevejoshua9536 3 года назад +34

    This pretty much confirms everything I ever suspected about who really was the primary creative force within The Beatles, especially when comparing Paul with John. Not only that, but that song that John wrote(Jealous Guy) said just about everything you needed to know about John's view of Paul, and why John musically lashed out at Paul after the break-up. No matter how talented John may have been in his own right, I believe he always felt that his creativity was inferior to Paul's.

    • @notbraindead7298

    Fifty years after they split up, the influence of The Beatles is like an indelible stamp.
    I've known musicians, more specifically songwriters, who are technically proficient players with strong voices and reasonable lyrical skill. I've listened to their songs, both live and produced, and wondered what it was that made me feel like their music was not more than the sum of its parts.
    In one or two cases, it was the discovery that they were not Beatles fans which put the period at the end of the sentence. In other words, they wrote what they called pop songs but lacked the essence that defines a pop song.

    Ringo's drumming is just wonderful. Instantly recognizable style; always incredibly musical and tasteful. No, he doesn't have the chops, in a technical sense, of a Ginger Baker. True. But that's not what drumming is only about: he served the music terrifically. And the drumming in Rain, Day in the Life--and many others--is just fucking awesome, period. If you can drum, sit down and try to play what he played (once, organically, and could never reproduce, as he says). (If you can drum, I'm sure you have already!)
    That said, I do enjoy Ginger's drumming (and Bonzo's) more...but that's taste. And, sure, you want ideally the marriage of total technical mastery and soul-heart-feeling that we can just agree to point to Beethoven as a go-to example of. :) Sure, very true. But technical perfection is not the whole thing.
    OK. Done rioting in the obvious. :)

    I wished he answered the original question. But I do know George had said just that, that most often Paul already had the arrangement done already when he went into the studio. I think it's why most of Ringo's best drumming and most of George's best guitar work are always on John's songs. No doubt Paul is great, but so were the others. It's too bad he didn't let him have more free rein.

    People who are saying he looks in his 40s are tripping. Yeah he looks younger than his years, I'd say early 60s but he sure doesn't pass for a 40 something. What he wears contributes to how he looks as well.

    This is the best part bands that I like is when they talk about each other and the way they did things, unless it's a group like Kiss or something who seem to hate each other
