I wouldn't say Ringo hated Here Comes The Sun, he just found it to be a pain to find the right part for it. He played on it a couple more times and even featured it in the All Starr Band at one point as a tribute to George, so I don't think he ever truly hated it, certainly not on the level of Maxwell...
@@garymorris1856 Modern history tells us that it is the most popular Beatles song ever. It has way more streams than any other Beatles song!! Pity at the time that John & Paul only gave real credit to "Something" - & totally ignored "Here Comes The Sun".
Paul's estrangement from the rest of the Beatles was due to a "song" called "Allen Klein Conned John, Paul & George But Paul Smelled a Rat (A Big, Fat New York Rat)".
@@JoaoGabriel-lk9cv Allen Klein conned a John George decided to go along Paul smelled a rat More than likely, it was Ringo! Brian just died, rest his soul The band ain’t whole, (so what do we do?) Why! We hire a raaaaat! (No, I’d hate that!) Allen Klein conned a John George wanted to sing his song! Paul smelled a rat This time, it wasn’t Ringo!
He probably hated the long process of recording Maxwell. Likely the same with George. Can imagine that John legitimately disliked it though! Ringo may have been flustered during the sessions for Sun, but he delivered!
I'd never believe that Richie hated anything unless I heard it from his own mouth, then I´d still take into consideration the context and his mood at the time. Ringo seems to have a talent for finding some good in almost anything.
To say that every song Ringo sang for the Beatles was just album filler, isn't accurate. Yellow Submarine and With a Little Help from My Friends are both much beloved tracks, and great songwriting specifically for Ringo.
I like the song too. On Anthology they explained they never felt they got it to "work", without explaining what that meant. Maybe they just ran out of time.
Well, I don’t think he hated the song itself. I think he just hated how GRUELING it might have been. Remember, while the 2 of the Beatles (George and John) badmouthed Sgt. Pepper (and are totally within their right to) Ringo said “it’s a fine album” but said he had a ton of free time. Basically, within this video at least, I don’t once hear him Outright say “that Maxwell’s Silver Hammer sounds like trash!” I just hear him say that he hated how much of a perfectionist Paul was being.
For some time now , more videos about, 'John did not like this', or that, Paul, George, now Ringo etc etc . This band was unique, great. So why always about 'what 'he' does not like'.....and I also see this more and more with other bands.... Looks like we are just interested to speak about things that did not work (so) well...instead of what went great. For me, it's almost like if we want to tarnish them, their image, their work. When we think: how lucky we are to have their music in our life....like 'Here comes the sun' ...just to brighten my day each time I listen to it....
I think this is a great point point, Zepp, especially when these kinds of videos tend to stretch the definition of "hate" or whatever for the purposes of clickbait. Music Box USA is a great channel, but I've seen this tendency with so many channels that are just trying to create more blood content from the Beatles stone.
"If You've Got Trouble" is brilliant musically. It's the lyrics that are atrocious!! Worst lyrics the Beatles ever wrote (along with Little Child & I'm Happy Just To Dance With You).
It's odd, the way a musician can "hate" a tune and yet it becomes one of their best efforts. He had to work on the changes but I can't help thinking that's why he played Here Comes the Sun so well. It didn't sound like classic Ringo but it was great to hear him go away from the familiar.
Building on what a couple of other commenters have written would it be safe to say that Ringo may not have enjoyed playing "Here Comes the Sun" but would enjoy listening to it if it didn't bring back memories of his struggle to get it right? Incidentally, it's interesting how there are two entries here that both came from the *Abbey Road* sessions. P. S. I would almost be inclined to say that "If You've Got Trouble" might be mentionable in the same breath as the Dave Clark Five song "Bits n Pieces". I realize other people like that song, but I think the same of it that Ringo thought of this one.
I don't think any Beatles song is bad! They always put a lot of work into their music! They are people and no one is perfect! Enjoy music! Just think without music this life of ours would be dull, drab, worrisome, boring, and unenjoyable! I love all music! Thank you Beatles and all the musicians who make music! God bless you! Godspeed!
Ringo had left the group briefly during Back in the USSR sessions. RAM album was not liked by many critics at the time, but I learnt long ago to not listen to the critics. It's my favourite Paul album and I still listen to the most after McCartney 1 album.
@@craig1538 It's quite low-fi, but songs like Uncle Albert-Admiral Halsey and Back Seat of My Car, lift it into its own stratosphere. Songs like Heart of the Country, My Long Haired Lady, Eat at Home and Dear Boy are typical competent McCartney fare, while sure, Smile Away, 3 Legs and Ram On are virtual throwaways. That leaves Too Many People, which is a far more clever dig at a former Beatle, than How Do You Sleep. Speaking of which - I have a similar attitude to the Imagine album as you have towards RAM - and a lot of people count Imagine as a classic. (I find it incongruous that the songs Imagine and How Do You Sleep are in the one collection TBH.) So, it's all a matter of opinion - Personally I like RAM. Probably my number 3 or 4 post-Beatles album by Paul.

Ram is one of my favorite albums by Paul. Personally , I think his worst music was pop-driven songs like Silly Love Songs, Ebony/Ivory. And Maxwell Silver hammer does suck
I feel compelled to use this opportunity to defend "If You've Got Trouble." I remember hearing it for the first time on the Anthology cassette in the summer of 1996, and it was a revelation to me then as a 9-year-old. I have experienced this dissonance with other Beatles songs, especially where George's compositions are concerned. However, even for its simplicity and seemingly decided-upon dislike, the song is strong in its energy and relatable angst. The main riff stabs, and the rhythm guitar rings against the key. It's practically proto-punk. "Go and count a ring or two."
Ringo often spoke in hyperbole, saying Maxwell took "weeks" when it took days, even if it felt like longer. So he HATES something because it's the WORST, with perhaps a good deal of exaggeration going on.
And while we're at it, stating that they "did all the instrumentals on that song" is strange and meaningless. The parts played by the various instruments in a song do NOT constitute instrumentals - not even if the song as a whole is an instrumental, which BITUSSR is not. You could have simply said that they did ("played" would be better) all of the instruments in that song; this is perfectly good English as is, with no other changes required. The English language was good enough for them to write all of their songs in it, apart from a few lines in French in "Michelle" and a few more in what I've been told is actually gibberish in ... I can't think of the name, but it comes right before "Mean Mr. Mustard". It gets mangled on a daily basis by people, public figures, who should know better. Let's not butcher it any worse.
You can't just lay back and play you have to be ready for those various time changes. The first one isn't so hard but the middle 11/8 .. 4/4... 7/8 section is tricky
“Boys” is in Beatles Rockband, and I remember my cousin and I playing through the story and thinking it was weird pick, so we saved it for last. Then we actually played the song and thought it was the most fun to play in the game lmao. After that we put our controllers down and went to go learn it on actual guitar and drums. I don’t think Ringo sings any other of his covers with quite the same energy as “Boys.” 🤘🦕
4:15 Actually Ram had one of Paul's greatest songs:Uncle Albert-Admiral Halsey. I think Ringo was reacting to the song Too Many People which was a swipe at John and Yoko. Yes Little Child John hated too, MSH they all hated and If You got Trouble was so bad it wasn't released. Here Comes the Sun is the surprise. Yes, one of George's best, but I get the drum parts were complicated. I liked them all anyway.
Hey, how's it going? I was wondering if you can please make a history video about the English animated band Gorillaz and its animated members? Because I'd really love to see a video about that band from their self-titled album (2001) to Cracker Island (2023).
I'm surprised he didn't say Happiness is a Warms gun with it's 6 or 8 time changes. It took bout 60 or takes and they never got one good take. They ended up splicing the best takes of the various sections together. There's a few bars in 3/4 that Ringo plays a 4/4 drum part . I guess it was a mistake but it sounded ok so they left it
@@martincvitkovich724: Lennon was dug addled and Yoko poisoned. One minute he'd be fishing for compliments with his fake self-deprecation, the next minute he'd be be declaring he was god.
@@jaelge The constant battle between doubt and narcissism is in every human. The difference is, Lennon was an artistic god, so he was right to think at leas that. Most of us are just mediocre RUclips-commenting edgelords attacking more accomplished people than us.
I think truly creative people have a tendency to constantly re-create themselves. Lennon was always changing. Of course, there were some core personality traits and values that stayed consistent, but everything else was up for grabs. He learned everything about a genre, ideology etc. for a couple of months, then he saw the flaws and became its biggest critic. Then he moved on to the next one. After he got into Dylan, all his old silly lyrics seemed trivial. He got into Indian spirituality, then he figured out it was bullshit. Then he did the primal scream therapy, but burned out on that. Some of his activism, he later distanced himself from as well. He did different drugs in different periods of his life as well. Weed, LSD, Heroine. Which influenced his art. I think a big reason for why so many of his songs are considered innovative and influential are because he was always changing, but it meant that old songs became yesterdays news quickly. So with Lennon we got this genius that gave us so much brilliant new stuff, but we also get this critical man that hates his old stuff, the stuff we love!
He was never the most talented in the band but he was always my favorite. I dont think he hates 'Here Comes the Sun' he just didnt like his sound or where he was as a person on the Abbey Road albulm.
I completely agree with three fourths of the band's opinion about Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Sometimes McCartney's taste in music baffles me. And no, Ringo loved and loves "Here Comes the Sun." Never trust Emerick who was a Paul superfan and devoted a lot of time in his book dishing on the other three to make Paul look good. Ringo being a "by feel" musician has never had issues with time signatures which John had already been throwing at him for years. No, Emerick heard Ringo say "7/4, whut?" and suddenly Ringo is a crap musician and Paul is Great. And that is nothing compared to the things he said about George.
I read that book a few months ago. It was long enough so that I don't remember a great deal of details to come back at you with. But what has stick with me is an overall impression that's very different from yours. Yeah, it's fair enough to call Emerick a Paul superfan. But I do not recall him devoting, as you say, all this time to bashing the others to make Paul look good. I thought he gave a pretty well balanced depiction of them all, except perhaps for Yoko - but even there, I think he spoke more kindly about her than she deserved.
@@JamesThompson-zk1ht In Geoff Emerick's book he pretty much disses George Harrison calling him "Fumble-fingered." due to Harrison's making loads of mistakes (strangely never mentioned by anybody else involved with the Beatles like Norman Smith and George Martin?), and not a good guitarist from 1963 -1968. According to Emerick, Harrison was the least charming and amicable of the 4 Beatles. Emerick said Ringo was a non-entity as it was the "John and Paul show". Emerick was critical of George Martin (who promoted him when Norman Smith left) and criticised Harrison for taking hours to perfect a lead guitar solo but praised Paul for taking hours to perfect a bass part! IMO Geoff Emerick comes across as a talented sound engineer who exaggerated his overall impact on the group's recording sessions, coming across at times as if he was the true genius behind it all and George Martin and the other sound engineers were less able and talented then him.
@@dannyvine3605 Hi, thanks for replying - I love how people have differing opinions about great music! I wasn't saying (or trying not to say!) that Imagine isn't great - of course it is - I just think Ram is sensationally brilliant! Was the Imagine song John sang on Get Back an early version of Crippled Inside?? I've seen both Let it Be and Get Back (I love that Let it Be is being re-released BTW, I only have an ancient video tape of it) and wasn't there a Ram early version on Get Back too, maybe Back Seat of my Car?? Anyway, my favourite Imagine song is, I think, How ( it would be Oh Yoko for its glorious melody and harmonica if it wasn't about Yoko🙃), and from Ram I'll go for Back Seat for its astonishing combination of melodies - how about you?
@@ysgol3 I had forgot about Crippled Inside being rehearsed at the LIB sessions! Instead I was mentioning Gimme Me Some Truth -both songs I like from the Imagine album. I agree Ram is a better album then the music critics at the time gave it credit for -but the criticism was more about going after Paul as the perpetrator of the Beatles ending (John's cowardly act of keeping quite was a low point IMO for John).
@@dannyvine3605 Apparently John was raving mad about Paul saying he'd quit, allegedly trying to boost sales of the McCartney album, after John had promised not to say anything! Maybe that explains more than anything why they never wrote or recorded (officially) together again.
I'll second Ringo on Little Child. That and Not a Second Time are two of my least favorites and they are both on the same album. The harmonica on Little Child sounds like John just catching his breath into the thing and that cheesy piano bit in the middle of Not a Second Time is a classic example of George Martin sticking his nose into places it didn't belong. It's strictly elevator material, right up there with his piano bit in Misery and that God awful roller rink organ in Mr. Moonlight. What Goes On is another song I don't have any time for. John kept pushing for it and finally got his way on Rubber Soul because they needed the obligatory Ringo number. As for Maxwell's Silver Hammer, I get it, they were all pissed at Paul and his bossy nature by that stage of the journey. I kinda like it but that's me. And I love Ram. I think it is McCartney's most underrated/unappreciated solo album.
WOW! Ringo trashing Paul's music "Ram". Ram is better than ANY album Ringo ever did. I laugh when the least talented makes negative comments about the most talented one. Again, WOW! Ringo does not have in is whole body the talent Paul has in just one finger, and he should give that finger to Ringo for being such a verbal jerk!!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody but McCartney hates Maxwell's Silver Hammer. I would think that George Martin hated it. I hate it, who likes this stupid song besides Paul. Maybe Linda did or told Paul she did anyway.
Paul isn't even in my top three favorite Beatles, but I really don't understand how anybody could hate "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". It's such a clever, original and inventive song. It's still fresh after all these years. Nice tune, nice arrangement, never get tired of hearing it. If you have to hate on one Paul song ( and 99% of his songs are good ), hate on Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Dah. That's a tedious song lacking punch.
probably due to Paul being the perfectionist and taking so long to get it the way he wanted, Ob La Di also took a long time before Paul was happy with it. The piano bit at the start was suggested by John as Paul couldn't work out a good start.
@@Noycey64 Ironic, isn't it - that the piano intro of "Ob-La-Di" is the best part of the song. Yet another of the endless proofs that the collaboration between all four Beatles was the magical special sauce that created the dishes which won first prize at the fair. None of the chefs could get that magic solo.
Shut up, Ringo. Just focus on the drums. I'm actually tired of _any_ Beatle trashing the group's legacy. Dislike a song or two by all means, bur keep it to yourself. More times than not Beatle fans love the songs you diss, so nothing can be gained from it.
I understnd Ringo, Obladi Oblada is the worst song, it's not on Beatles level. Maxwell's silver Hammer not much better, Here comes the sun, is a very good song, maybe Ringo had problems playing it with all the so called time changes, they are difficult but probably nobody could explain where the problem was
They all needed each other. That is with the exception of George, who didn't "need no wah-wah". Wah-wah was not referring to the pedal in that song, it represented the headache that the Beatles gave him. George in my view was the only one who did anything of merit after the split up.
George definitely needed the others. I don't think he would have been near as good a songwriter if he hadn't watched Lennon and McCartney write masterpieces for ten years. Also, Ringo narrated Thomas and Friends. That's gotta count for something lol
@@weathermansam2I agree. Over time I think Ringo was somewhat under rated. He was actually quite good on Thomas & Friends. And I think he did a wonderful job on You’re 16, even if he looked a bit old for the part. There’s real chemistry in the video clip with him and Carrie Fisher. No wonder it hit number 1.
As much as I like Ringo, it must be borne in mind that he is the one who justified his initial choice in solo music by saying, "Country music is where it's at." Hardly a qualification for judging music.
I love Ringo. He knows he wasn't as good as the others and was only in it for the ride. I'll take Richie over McCartney any time. Just never liked him at all.
Ringo was a much better drummer than a lot of people, like yourself, give him credit for. Watch a couple of videos by drummers who are taking his parts apart to show us what he was doing back there. He was actually rather brilliant in his own right.
Most lousy enoying Beatles songs =================================== + YESTERDAY + SOMETHING + LET IT BE + THE INNER LIGHT + OBLA DI BLA DA + MICHELLE + ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE + HALLO GOODBYE + YELlO SUBMARINE { Childish } + SGT PEPPER 1 + 2 + LOVELY RITA + WHEN IM 64 + HERE COMES THE SUN - da-da da daa - da-da da bla bla bla + some Trash from ""The White Album "" maybe i forgot some more ...
You poor, woefully misguided creature. What DO you like? 80s hair metal, like Ratt and Poison? Or maybe Hanson - what was their big hit, was it Mmm-Bop? Or perhaps George Michael, and Wham? Are they more up your crooked little alley?
It's funny how hate can be such a big attraction. If this video was called ""Ringo Starr LOVED these 4 Beatles songs" a lot of people would just think "meh" and watch something else. But change the title to "Ringo Starr HATED these songs" far more people would be interested in discovering what he hated.
I wouldn't say Ringo hated Here Comes The Sun, he just found it to be a pain to find the right part for it. He played on it a couple more times and even featured it in the All Starr Band at one point as a tribute to George, so I don't think he ever truly hated it, certainly not on the level of Maxwell...
True, good fact
There is a video of Ringo clapping out the rhythm with his hands - perfectly. Sort of a 123,123,123,12,1234 thing!!

It's unfortunate that hate's so trendy these days that the very word is featured as a marketing strategy. 🙄
It gets clicks, and that's all that matters...
I think If You Got Troubles is one of the best performances they have ever laid onto tape, it’s a kick ass rocker that I enjoy playing.
Yeah definitely. It's a great song. "You think I'm soft in the head" is a cracking line.
Might be filler but it’s fun filler. I enjoy it. Same for What Goes On I always loved that song
It's a million times better than Act Naturally, which is awful.
I like the song too. On Anthology they explained they never felt they got it to "work", without explaining what that meant. Maybe they just ran out of time.
Ram is a great album. Very weird that Ringo said that even with their tensions at the time
Absolutely! Uncle Albert & Too Many People are classics. Silly ones too, like "Monkberry Moon Delight".
Funny thing is that Ram was almost universally panned when it was released.
"If You've Got Trouble" was Very Progressive. I think that's why it was excluded. I'm talkin' 'bout the 8th note focus on the Guitars.
Ringo's crazy if he doesn't think RAM is not only a good album, but a GREAT album. Lots of great songs on that album.
4:26 “I don’t think there’s one good tune on Ram”.
Ringo’s right, there’s not one good tune.
There’s 12 good tunes.

Yes, famous heated argument between him and Paul. Left the studio and threatened to quit the group.
is George playing on the track?
Yeah, Ringo didn't play on USSR, Dear Prudence and I think Martha My Dear...
That's "Back IN The USSR". NOT "to". Details, people, details are important! Sloppy writing stems from lazy, sloppy THINKING.

Ringo did the perfect job.
You can't just lay back and play you have to be ready for those various time changes. The first one isn't so hard but the middle 11/8 .. 4/4... 7/8 section is tricky
Here comes the Sun has a 12/ 8 section in the begging and end ...and in the middle and 11/8 then 4/4 then 7/8 section. It's pretty tricky

Good Song !
I like it !
Greatest drummer for the song, ever.
Both “Little Child” and “I Wanna Be Your Man” sound like they’d work in big-band arrangements and marching-band arrangements.
The criticism of Ram is a result of the time and the situation. He could not judge it fairly. In fact Ram is one of Pauls best albums.
4:15 Actually Ram had one of Paul's greatest songs:Uncle Albert-Admiral Halsey. I think Ringo was reacting to the song Too Many People which was a swipe at John and Yoko. Yes Little Child John hated too, MSH they all hated and If You got Trouble was so bad it wasn't released. Here Comes the Sun is the surprise. Yes, one of George's best, but I get the drum parts were complicated. I liked them all anyway.
I always thought Ringo would have made a great Doctor Who.
No he didn't.
I always liked if you got trouble
Hey, how's it going?
I was wondering if you can please make a history video about the English animated band Gorillaz and its animated members?
Because I'd really love to see a video about that band from their self-titled album (2001) to Cracker Island (2023).
Ringo wrote What Goes On.
That was a Lennon-McCartney-Ringo composition. Ringo said he contributed about 5 words to the tune.
Paul was the least critical of the others solo albums. Ringo said there wasn’t one good song on Paul’s early solo albums.
I'm with Ringo on a lot of these picks. I love George, but am not crazy about "Here Comes The Sun," either.
the fact people think maxwell's silver hammer is the worst song when revolution 9 exists
I'm surprised he didn't say Happiness is a Warms gun with it's 6 or 8 time changes. It took bout 60 or takes and they never got one good take. They ended up splicing the best takes of the various sections together. There's a few bars in 3/4 that Ringo plays a 4/4 drum part . I guess it was a mistake but it sounded ok so they left it
He dislikes "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da"? He sounds like a man of good taste.
Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da is alright.
@@garyowen4602 No
Yes!
But you don't !
Maxwell's Silver Hammer is one of the best Beatles songs. Certainly in the top 10.
I like if you've got trouble lot more than for example don't pass me by
John Lennon hated about 80 percent of The Beatles songs. He was never much of a Beatles fan.
I thought it was the recordings that was his issue?
of course John would say he hated this or that song,,,would you expect him to say I love my songs? It's all mind games and reverse psychology
@@martincvitkovich724:
Lennon was dug addled and Yoko poisoned. One minute he'd be fishing for compliments with his fake self-deprecation, the next minute he'd be be declaring he was god.
@@jaelge The constant battle between doubt and narcissism is in every human. The difference is, Lennon was an artistic god, so he was right to think at leas that. Most of us are just mediocre RUclips-commenting edgelords attacking more accomplished people than us.
I think truly creative people have a tendency to constantly re-create themselves. Lennon was always changing. Of course, there were some core personality traits and values that stayed consistent, but everything else was up for grabs. He learned everything about a genre, ideology etc. for a couple of months, then he saw the flaws and became its biggest critic. Then he moved on to the next one. After he got into Dylan, all his old silly lyrics seemed trivial. He got into Indian spirituality, then he figured out it was bullshit. Then he did the primal scream therapy, but burned out on that. Some of his activism, he later distanced himself from as well. He did different drugs in different periods of his life as well. Weed, LSD, Heroine. Which influenced his art. I think a big reason for why so many of his songs are considered innovative and influential are because he was always changing, but it meant that old songs became yesterdays news quickly. So with Lennon we got this genius that gave us so much brilliant new stuff, but we also get this critical man that hates his old stuff, the stuff we love!
Oh Ringo... Ram is a great album.. Paul's best in my opinion
He was never the most talented in the band but he was always my favorite. I dont think he hates 'Here Comes the Sun' he just didnt like his sound or where he was as a person on the Abbey Road albulm.
They were all good and what a shame they broke up! GES
I completely agree with three fourths of the band's opinion about Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Sometimes McCartney's taste in music baffles me. And no, Ringo loved and loves "Here Comes the Sun." Never trust Emerick who was a Paul superfan and devoted a lot of time in his book dishing on the other three to make Paul look good. Ringo being a "by feel" musician has never had issues with time signatures which John had already been throwing at him for years. No, Emerick heard Ringo say "7/4, whut?" and suddenly Ringo is a crap musician and Paul is Great. And that is nothing compared to the things he said about George.
I read that book a few months ago. It was long enough so that I don't remember a great deal of details to come back at you with. But what has stick with me is an overall impression that's very different from yours.
Yeah, it's fair enough to call Emerick a Paul superfan. But I do not recall him devoting, as you say, all this time to bashing the others to make Paul look good. I thought he gave a pretty well balanced depiction of them all, except perhaps for Yoko - but even there, I think he spoke more kindly about her than she deserved.
@@JamesThompson-zk1ht In Geoff Emerick's book he pretty much disses George Harrison calling him "Fumble-fingered." due to Harrison's making loads of mistakes (strangely never mentioned by anybody else involved with the Beatles like Norman Smith and George Martin?), and not a good guitarist from 1963 -1968. According to Emerick, Harrison was the
least charming and amicable of the 4 Beatles. Emerick said Ringo was a non-entity as it was the "John and Paul show".
Emerick was critical of George Martin (who promoted him when Norman Smith left) and criticised Harrison for taking hours to perfect a lead guitar solo but praised Paul for taking hours to perfect a bass part! IMO Geoff Emerick comes across as a talented sound engineer who exaggerated his overall impact on the group's recording sessions, coming across at times as if he was the true genius behind it all and George Martin and the other sound engineers were less able and talented then him.
Best solo Album - All Things Must Pass .
I would agree with all the dislikes except Back in the USSR. That’s a catchy tune.
Ringo was so so wrong about Ram - it's so full of wonderful invention and beauty - in retrospect it's clearly a better album than Imagine.
I would disagree. Imagine is a great solo album. It even has a song from thr Beatles Let It Be / Get Back sessions.
@@dannyvine3605 Hi, thanks for replying - I love how people have differing opinions about great music! I wasn't saying (or trying not to say!) that Imagine isn't great - of course it is - I just think Ram is sensationally brilliant!
Was the Imagine song John sang on Get Back an early version of Crippled Inside?? I've seen both Let it Be and Get Back (I love that Let it Be is being re-released BTW, I only have an ancient video tape of it) and wasn't there a Ram early version on Get Back too, maybe Back Seat of my Car??
Anyway, my favourite Imagine song is, I think, How ( it would be Oh Yoko for its glorious melody and harmonica if it wasn't about Yoko🙃), and from Ram I'll go for Back Seat for its astonishing combination of melodies - how about you?
@@ysgol3 I had forgot about Crippled Inside being rehearsed at the LIB sessions! Instead I was mentioning Gimme Me Some Truth -both songs I like from the Imagine album. I agree Ram is a better album then the music critics at the time gave it credit for -but the criticism was more about going after Paul as the perpetrator of the Beatles ending (John's cowardly act of keeping quite was a low point IMO for John).
@@dannyvine3605 Apparently John was raving mad about Paul saying he'd quit, allegedly trying to boost sales of the McCartney album, after John had promised not to say anything!
Maybe that explains more than anything why they never wrote or recorded (officially) together again.
I’ll take Revolution 9 on repeat over Maxwell Silver Hammer
No
I second Steve. No. Maxwell is technically an OK song as long as you weren't in the studio recording it with Paul. Revolution 9 is garbage.
You're a glutton for punishment!
I agree I actually don’t hate rev 9 either but I understand why others do
I'll second Ringo on Little Child. That and Not a Second Time are two of my least favorites and they are both on the same album. The harmonica on Little Child sounds like John just catching his breath into the thing and that cheesy piano bit in the middle of Not a Second Time is a classic example of George Martin sticking his nose into places it didn't belong. It's strictly elevator material, right up there with his piano bit in Misery and that God awful roller rink organ in Mr. Moonlight. What Goes On is another song I don't have any time for. John kept pushing for it and finally got his way on Rubber Soul because they needed the obligatory Ringo number. As for Maxwell's Silver Hammer, I get it, they were all pissed at Paul and his bossy nature by that stage of the journey. I kinda like it but that's me. And I love Ram. I think it is McCartney's most underrated/unappreciated solo album.
WOW! Ringo trashing Paul's music "Ram". Ram is better than ANY album Ringo ever did. I laugh when the least talented makes negative comments about the most talented one. Again, WOW! Ringo does not have in is whole body the talent Paul has in just one finger, and he should give that finger to Ringo for being such a verbal jerk!!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody but McCartney hates Maxwell's Silver Hammer. I would think that George Martin hated it. I hate it, who likes this stupid song besides Paul. Maybe Linda did or told Paul she did anyway.
I love Maxwell's Silver Hammer
I love If You've Got Trouble, it's sooo bad it's good!!😂
Paul isn't even in my top three favorite Beatles, but I really don't understand how anybody could hate "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". It's such a clever, original and inventive song. It's still fresh after all these years. Nice tune, nice arrangement, never get tired of hearing it. If you have to hate on one Paul song ( and 99% of his songs are good ), hate on Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Dah. That's a tedious song lacking punch.
probably due to Paul being the perfectionist and taking so long to get it the way he wanted, Ob La Di also took a long time before Paul was happy with it. The piano bit at the start was suggested by John as Paul couldn't work out a good start.
@@Noycey64 Ironic, isn't it - that the piano intro of "Ob-La-Di" is the best part of the song. Yet another of the endless proofs that the collaboration between all four Beatles was the magical special sauce that created the dishes which won first prize at the fair. None of the chefs could get that magic solo.
Weird, I've come to think of RAM as one of the best post-Beatles albums of any of them
escucha mas musica por favor.
@@Carbonazul-zg5wu Get better taste 🗣
@@pez.emikazoo y tu un mejor oido sordo.
@@Carbonazul-zg5wu Most mature RAM detractor:
Many of the songs Ringo sang on were throw away Lennon/MCCartney songs they didn't want to sing. He got all the leftovers.
Ringo only seemed to get to sing the "joke" or "novelty" songs.
Huh? What? Lol!
i like maxwell and here comes the sun
Ringo doesn't like your tie
The Beatles were always their worst critics.
3:12
no hate whatsoever, just a clickbait headline for 5 wasted minutes...
Shut up, Ringo. Just focus on the drums. I'm actually tired of _any_ Beatle trashing the group's legacy. Dislike a song or two by all means, bur keep it to yourself. More times than not Beatle fans love the songs you diss, so nothing can be gained from it.
Well if somebody ASKs him, what is he to do? Ignore the question?
@@sureshmukhi2316 I see your point.
@@ozrob8726 thanks
I understnd Ringo, Obladi Oblada is the worst song, it's not on Beatles level. Maxwell's silver Hammer not much better, Here comes the sun, is a very good song, maybe Ringo had problems playing it with all the so called time changes, they are difficult but probably nobody could explain where the problem was
Silver Hammer 👎👎👎👎👎
sorry Paul hate it too
Revolution #9 is not a song.
Ringo is always in the weakest position to criticize Paul.
They all needed each other. That is with the exception of George, who didn't "need no wah-wah". Wah-wah was not referring to the pedal in that song, it represented the headache that the Beatles gave him. George in my view was the only one who did anything of merit after the split up.
George definitely needed the others. I don't think he would have been near as good a songwriter if he hadn't watched Lennon and McCartney write masterpieces for ten years.
Also, Ringo narrated Thomas and Friends. That's gotta count for something lol
@@weathermansam2I agree. Over time I think Ringo was somewhat under rated. He was actually quite good on Thomas & Friends. And I think he did a wonderful job on You’re 16, even if he looked a bit old for the part. There’s real chemistry in the video clip with him and Carrie Fisher. No wonder it hit number 1.
lovely Rita...YUK!
Great tunes. Dont be a fool
@@jhonyermo ...actually it's one 'tune'...but I'll leave it to 'fools' like you to endorse it
As much as I like Ringo, it must be borne in mind that he is the one who justified his initial choice in solo music by saying, "Country music is where it's at." Hardly a qualification for judging music.
Maxwells silver hammer was awful.
I f you people ever got yo see mccartney in concert the audience loves to hear obladi
"Revolution#9" was LAME, LAME, LAME! The other songs were typical Beatle songs, some better than others.
Stop promoting hate for god's sake!
I love Ringo. He knows he wasn't as good as the others and was only in it for the ride. I'll take Richie over McCartney any time. Just never liked him at all.
Ringo was a much better drummer than a lot of people, like yourself, give him credit for. Watch a couple of videos by drummers who are taking his parts apart to show us what he was doing back there. He was actually rather brilliant in his own right.
Yes. Hate the most talented one.
Weird.
No one likes Revolution 9 and Ob la Di Ob la da 😅
everybody hated Maxwell and Ob la di !!!!!!!

Teddy Boy is worse than Maxwell. Yawn
Ringo hated Ram? Back off boogaloo!
What is good in RAM !
I only remember Onkel Albert - Admiral Hensley and this
is a Chllish song !
Like some other Paul - trash
Who cares?
Here comes the sun - is a cpl B.. S .. song !

You poor, woefully misguided creature. What DO you like? 80s hair metal, like Ratt and Poison? Or maybe Hanson - what was their big hit, was it Mmm-Bop? Or perhaps George Michael, and Wham? Are they more up your crooked little alley?
And I hate these cretinous, clickbait, 'hated' videos.
Macca’s lucy in the sky with diamonds 🤡👍😎😎😎😎
Macca's? Wrong.
It's funny how hate can be such a big attraction. If this video was called ""Ringo Starr LOVED these 4 Beatles songs" a lot of people would just think "meh" and watch something else. But change the title to "Ringo Starr HATED these songs" far more people would be interested in discovering what he hated.
