If you know Ringo’s story, he spent most of his childhood with health problems. Spending almost a year in the hospital at one point. And to see him going strong at his age and with such joy and happiness is just astonishing. How can you not love Ringo?
Yes Ringo nearly died quite a few times in his early childhood. It is hard to believe with all the energy he exudes. Even with years of smoking cigarettes and cannabis. Also singing his voice is more clear and smooth than anybody his age out of that music age of the first British music invasion.
I do love Ringo. I won 4 free tickets to see the Beatles at the old Shea Stadium. It was the most exciting event in life and I’m now 72! I was a true Beatlemaniac! Perfect age!

If he's anything like me, that "treasure trove" of memories will be fading fast. Sure, we all remember major events in our lives, but I'm pretty sure I can't recall much of the ordinary stuff. Ringo's experiences as a performer would mostly blur into "ordinary stuff" - any given concert would become very much like the last two dozen he did... and the next two dozen.

Paul McCartney said The Beatles were a "great" band, and they were so. That is because each of them brought different strengths to the band and they executed beautifully. Ringo once said that John played a song to challenge Ringo to play drums like what was heard on the song; Ringo said, "John, you DO realize that is more than one drummer playing, don't you?" John agreed but had confidence Ringo could do it. And Ringo DID do it! Ringo said that was the greatness of The Beatles, they were "always pushing the envelope."
Ive seen interviews with people that said they had the privilege of being in the same room with the beatles while they were jamming, recording, or something.... They said the energy in the room was insane. There was no chaos, no one shouting, it was just quiet.... but the energy the four of them put out when together could be felt in the room.

Out of nowhere I just started tearing up, I’m so grateful for the Beatles and the remaining to lads and all they do. I’m going to see him this summer again. Cherish these precious people while we still have them. Long live the legacy and love of Ringo Starr, Peace and Love everyone!
Once, in the 70's The Beatles came back from a country that permitted topless swimming. (shocking in those days). A reporter asked Ringo what he thought of topless swimming. He said ''I love it man. I've been swimming topless for years''
The guy seems so cool and laid back as if it hasn’t occurred to him that he was part of, I don’t know, the greatest, most influential band/artist in recorded music history!
I swear, Paul and Ringo's interviews are always over too quickly. I would love to see them together telling us stories we haven't heard yet. God bless The Beatles.
That’s quite true! It’s remarkable, really, to find all four members of a band so engaging, quick-minded and charismatic. I caught myself towards the end, realizing I’d been smiling broadly throughout this interview. That’s what Ringo does. He brings a great vibe to whatever he is doing or wherever he happens to be.
@@fifthbusiness1678 I guess they didn't display those attributes so well when they went to visit Elvis at his home when they came to the U.S. Apparently they were very shy and quiet and just stared at Elvis. He said if you guys are going to sit there and just stare at me I'm going to go up and go to bed.
I would love to see Ringo and Paul interviewed together. I'm sure that hasn't happened for quite a while but they are both such engaging and funny guys it would be amazing.
It’s worth noting that Ringos delicious musings were the basis of a hard days night and eight days a week. He would say odd things like this and it created rock history. In Get Back you see Linda and Yoko in the studio both agreeing that Ring as they called him felt the safest man to be around. The man isn’t only a genius, he’s a legend. A true gentle giant.
That’s one of the best interviews with Ringo I’ve ever seen (or read or heard). Kimmel keeps it light by mixing a few questions that serious Beatles historians will appreciate with a few silly ones, and he knows to never press. That’s a talent, and Ringo clearly enjoyed himself.
Dude, the fact that he is 81 years old is f’ing unbelievable!!! The guy looks like he’s in his 50s!!! Am I exaggerating? It’s really mind blowing. Such a chill guy with a wonderful sense of humor. “Peace and love!! Peace and love!!” ✌️☮️🥁

@@blidge8282 I don’t get it.. beatlemania? I don’t meet too many younger folks who are huge beatle fans these days. Sure, there are a lot of die hard fans, no doubt, but I feel like the fandom has definitely declined over the years. I’m not a huge beatle fan or anything. They’ve made some really great, timeless songs, and they’ve made a HUGE impact on the music industry and inspired many musicians… but I’m not a die hard fan personally. I was just stating facts. You can’t deny that Ringo looks like he’s in his 50s. What’s all of this satanic conspiracy talk?
I too love Ringo. I went to his All Starr Band concert several years ago. After playing several hours he ended the show singing the song while doing jumping jacks the whole time! Incredible!
Ringo has always been the most carefree , easy going guy in every interview I've seen of him. Glad he's found sobriety and enjoying life. And sharing himself with us.
Ringo and Paul were likely the closest band mates instrumentally because bass and drums have to form a tight bond to be successful. This is possibly one of the most overlooked aspects of the Beatles. Sure their harmonies were terrific and everyone likes to point that out. But listen closely to how in sync the drums and bass are in any one of their songs. And Ringo was an absolute artist on the drum, so much so that it meshed perfectly with the theme of the song and go somewhat unnoticed when compared with the vocals and guitar.
@@jamesstewart8377 the point I am making is that the bass and drummer have to be in sync no matter the band- they form the foundation of the band and as a player myself I can attest to the universal truth. Rhythm and bass are important but not as much. Now you know.
My parents met here in Liverpool in 1961 and a large portion of there dates back then we're spent at the Cavern dancing and singing away to the local bands. My Dad always said we must have seen the Beatles a hundred times when I ask my Mum she says it was easily 50-60 maybe not a hundred but it was a lot. My Dad was a musician and had many friends who played in other Liverpool bands also performing on the same shows so it was no big deal back then it was just watching the local talent at the hippest place around for a pair of music loving teenagers.
As a young child, I saw them play on the Ed Sullivan Show when they came to the states. It took me a micro second to notice Ringo, and he's been my favorite Beatle ever since. He just looked like he was having such fun on those drums.
For me the gig on the roof was a revelation because it’s the only time i’ve seen them play live without any crowd interference and also the addition of the keyboards gave it a really full and warm sound.✌️❤️
They have been in my life for 58 years since Ed Sullivan. The pain I felt with John's passing will be duplicated when one of them dies-a reminder of my own mortality.
First of all, he is a worldwide treasure. In an age where people are being nasty left and right, this guy is positivity personified. Second, the guy is 80 years old for crying out loud. I hope I'm one tenth as alive when I'm that age. Third, you know he's told those stories for 50 years (e.g., how "Octopus's Garden" was inspired -- "Pete's boat" indeed) but the stories are as fresh as if he just remembered them for the first time in years. BTW, I love that Jimmy is in awe but is a great kidder. It's like they were great friends there. They aren't friends in the normal sense. We all feel like we know Ringo (millions upon millions of us) and he his generous enough to feel like he knows you too. I'm a huge, huge fan of him as a human being and as an artist.
Ringo just sort-of quietly sailed through his fame. No big dramas, nothing scandalous. Now you look back and realize he was the oldest and most sickly (when young) and the last member to get on board the Beatles, yet made it all this way and stills looks amazingly well too!!
Ringo is smart enough to keep quiet about things he has no control over ...John and George both were physically attacked the night before the day they planned to talk too much...
"Octopus' Garden" is a MAGNIFICENT song. Very underrated, and I love it so much! I actually start learning English playing Beatles songs like this one. Ringo is right, is super easy to play on the guitar, only a couple of notes. My children love the song too. I got emotional watching him talking about this one.
No it's not and neither is 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer'. Anything in the White Album however... It's just such an earth-shattering masterpiece through and through.
It's quite nice. I think he was selling the song short here just because of his humility, but there's more to it than just an octopus's garden under a sea. To me the song evokes the feeling of safety in your own little bubble with your buddies. That line "we would be warm below the storm" is really something. George Harrison said something about this in an interview too, he thought the song was quite nice for that reason, a possible further reading
Awesome! My cousin, while he was learning English used to watch Happy Days and told me that he loved listening to the Fonz cause he annunciated every word.
Since Ringo couldn't even play guitar and only knew about three notes I would completely disagree, especially if you listen to the guitar progressions on Octopus's Garden. It was fairly complicated.
No, his set up and play was just basic. If you think he was great, check out Nick Mc Brain's (Iron Maiden) or Annika Nilles's, Nico Kaukussan's (Amon Smart), Lars Ulrich's (Metallica) ... set up and play... than you see what talented really stands for.
@@Thomas83KO Ringo Starr was left handed and played a right handed kit. This allowed for some of the most unique fills of the 60s and 70s. He was an unconventional drummer that combined aspects of jazz drumming (usage of swings) with rocker drumming. He was able to keep up a tempo with the other three by watching their footwork during their live shows because he couldn’t hear them over all the screaming girls. Listen to his drum work on songs like Come Together, Rain, and Ticket To Ride. He wasn’t flashy, he didn’t like drum solos. He didn’t need any of those to be one of the most unique drummers of the rock genre. Ringo was the beat in the Beatles.
Great interview and very happy to see how vibrant Ringo remains at the age of 82. What a life he has led and he is still a good person with a big heart.
"Which Beatle was the most gaseous?" "Paul. I have to say that because the other two aren't with us anymore." "Cool" and "grace" don't often end up in the same sentence together but, really, Ringo embodies both.
Dying your hair, he’s vegetarian, quit drugs and alcohol 34 years ago, keeping a good attitude, he’s professional and having a good all that helps but playing music and being active physically and mentally and spiritually is the key Ringo is the greatest!!👍
@@robertlee8042 He’s an incredibly creative and musical drummer with superb time If that’s primative, I’ll take that all day every day Nothing to do with luck, the other Beatles have spoken about how they had their eye on him in Hamburg as Pete’s replacement because when he stood in, the band felt better
Ringo at 81 and he still has it. Amazing! The enthusiasm of his voice talking about playing on the roof live. In the rain but excited because it was live.
Crazy that for some people it took a documentary and 50 years to realize what a genius Paul is bc they kept believing what people who were really competitive with him said to downplay his talent. Like Bob Dylan and Paul Simon have both said, he's not only one of the best songwriters ever but also completely on a league of his own musically
I had the great honor of seeing Ringo & His All Star Band in Rhode Island "Summer of 2015", awesome concert & experience to see him. Still have my ticket stub. My fav. song "It Don't Come Easy".
Even 60+ years later, the Beatles are still a cultural phenomenon... the true definition of legends. You just have to ask yourself if any artist or group today can achieve this kind of longevity 60 years from now? Only time will tell I guess...
The rooftop gig is worth popping the kettle on for and just sitting with a biscuit and enjoying a super tight band playing and making great music together. My favourite Beatles performance as I can hear them and the balance of sound they create is wonderful.
@@old-fashionedcoughypot Fake hair, lol. The little skull cap he was wearing was a rug but it looked great for a guy in his 70's. This new thing is thicker than what he had 30 years ago.
I saw him soundchecking pre-gig in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2011. We were maybe 30 people waiting in the sun, could not believe he did his own check.. Did half of ”Yellow Sub” and shouted our direction ”How does it sound..?” Us ”GREAT!!!” Ringo ”Great, see you in an hour or so!” Legend.
Ringo and Paul are awesome. It doesn't seem they have let money and celebrity status go to their heads. It is amazing how young Ringo and Barbara look.
The Beatles were the best band ever. Every band you see after were influenced by them. They had the best sense of humor and were great influencers. People listened to them
Best thing Ring's ever did was get sober. You see old interviews and it's sad how wrecked he was. Ever since he always has a great attitude and seems happy. Amazing his body recovered the way it did. I'll be devastated when he and Paul are gone.
It's amazing how someone who had some terrible childhood diseases with long stays in the hospital, achieved a level of fame few people would have survived, yet here he is one of two living and he looks just as marvelous as you would expect the one and only Ringo Starr would.
Oh boy, the Beatles... What legends, what a story, what goosebumps! (Not dismissing other great bands, but there's something special about these lads from Liverpool, ain't there?)
It might surprise you to learn that Ringo's in his 80's, but when you consider that he's been in the music industry since the 60's as an adult, it becomes less surprising.
Of course excepting the times around the breakup when it was Paul against the other three in court battling over management and money. Ringo once drove out to Paul's home to give him some papers regarding those court battles and Paul slammed the door in his face. There was quite a time when they were not on good terms. Ringo also had a very serious alcohol and cocaine problem in the 70's and 80's and was often rude and obnoxious in public settings. Hard to believe, as he is so deservedly beloved these days and just the nicest person. And remarkable that he is so well preserved after childhood illness and abusing his body so badly for such a lengthy period.
John was the one, if I recall correctly, who first recognized Ringo's own original drumming. Ringo had his own unique beat & tympani combo which, obviously, worked out quite well!
I saw Ringo and those other guys, LIVE, in concert, on my 9th birthday !! 22Aug1965 Portland OR While they played, I thought, 'This is the best place to be on the Planet' I was not wrong. A World phenomenon like that only happens, every few hundred years. I was lucky. Beatles4Ever
Ringo DID leave the band during the White Album and listen to how awesome Paul is on drums during Dear Prudence. He's not Ringo, but those fills filling almost entire verse during Dear Prudence is not a Ringo thing to do, but they're awesome. Don't forget that the drummer on Band on the Run (the entire album) is Paul.
Yeah, we know Paul is a genius. Actually, each in their own way in how they created, collaborated, and produce product is a genius. And each one proved themselves as solo. Frickin amazing.
@@DanVassiliou It's not 100% known for sure, but it is likely that Ringo came back and overdubbed the fills for Prudence. And he is good at that sort of thing - think of Come Together or the last verse of Let It Be.
Both Ringo and Paul know how to tell a story. There's an art just in that and these guys have a ton of them. I remember the remaining two Beastie Boys did some shows with them simply telling stories. I really thought it turned out great. Can you imagine if these two did that? It would draw more people than the greatest most popular Broadway show would. I really hope they do something like that while they're still with us. Not to mention I hope they both have many, many years left.
I have always loved Ringo! 🤗 It is so surprising, he was ill as a child and as the oldest Beatles, is seemly the most lively 81 year old! He just never seems to age! He is a Great Grandpa! It is wonderful to see him!
Pretty sure homeless ppl hooked on heroin could care less about him. Or a single mother of 4 trying to get by during a pandemic. Or the special needs children wracked with pain cooped up in hospitals but yeah, this one drummer makes the world go round and everyone wakes up thinking hey, screw breakfast I need more Ringo in my life. Makes sense.

Once, in the 70's The Beatles came back from a country that permitted topless swimming. (shocking in those days). A reporter asked Ringo what he thought of topless swimming. He said ''I love it man. I've been swimming topless for years''
😀😀
Must have been in the 60s as they had broken up by 1970.
@@familiarsting4108you're probably right petal. I was not a fan in those days. I just remember the interview.

The guy seems so cool and laid back as if it hasn’t occurred to him that he was part of, I don’t know, the greatest, most influential band/artist in recorded music history!
cool and relaxed was the vibe i was getting also! great musician right there! I think they were a pretty humble band for all their popularity
He never was part of Tenacious D!
@B K right
@@BK-hn6jc Not yet, anyway.
Ringo is witty and also a very nice guy. Maybe the nicest among the Beatles. Loved this vídeo.
I think George Martin may have been the nicest.
Ringo is simply the coolest sweetest human being who ever lived. ... I could listen to him for HOURS.
I swear, Paul and Ringo's interviews are always over too quickly. I would love to see them together telling us stories we haven't heard yet. God bless The Beatles.
That’s quite true! It’s remarkable, really, to find all four members of a band so engaging, quick-minded and charismatic.
I caught myself towards the end, realizing I’d been smiling broadly throughout this interview. That’s what Ringo does. He brings a great vibe to whatever he is doing or wherever he happens to be.
@@fifthbusiness1678 I guess they didn't display those attributes so well when they went to visit Elvis at his home when they came to the U.S. Apparently they were very shy and quiet and just stared at Elvis.

But it wasn't slide guitar. Harrison used a Fender Stratocaster.
@@randycoursey7230 Um, that he played with a slide.
@@jsullivan2112 Nope - he didn't play slide on OG.
@@randycoursey7230 You are correct.
Ringo just keeps on keeping on! He not only does not look like an octogenarian, but he moves his body like a much younger person. He is eternal!
It’s worth noting that Ringos delicious musings were the basis of a hard days night and eight days a week. He would say odd things like this and it created rock history. In Get Back you see Linda and Yoko in the studio both agreeing that Ring as they called him felt the safest man to be around. The man isn’t only a genius, he’s a legend. A true gentle giant.
That’s one of the best interviews with Ringo I’ve ever seen (or read or heard). Kimmel keeps it light by mixing a few questions that serious Beatles historians will appreciate with a few silly ones, and he knows to never press. That’s a talent, and Ringo clearly enjoyed himself.
He knew how to intersperse the promotions that would keep Ringo excited: the book, the tour. I just kind of picked up on that. Enjoyed this one too.
@@MsThebeMoon Good point!
Serious Beatles historians can rest easy now knowing that Paul was the gassiest of the Beatles.
he did fckng great job
I like this jimmy kimmel, he knows the guest, the questions are right, and he lets ringo talk no interruptions
Dude, the fact that he is 81 years old is f’ing unbelievable!!! The guy looks like he’s in his 50s!!! Am I exaggerating? It’s really mind blowing. Such a chill guy with a wonderful sense of humor. “Peace and love!! Peace and love!!” ✌️☮️🥁

Sure, there are a lot of die hard fans, no doubt, but I feel like the fandom has definitely declined over the years. I’m not a huge beatle fan or anything. They’ve made some really great, timeless songs, and they’ve made a HUGE impact on the music industry and inspired many musicians… but I’m not a die hard fan personally. I was just stating facts. You can’t deny that Ringo looks like he’s in his 50s. What’s all of this satanic conspiracy talk?
This beautiful man never ages. Just stylish and witty as all these decades ago. I could listen to him for hours.
His son Zach is a genius on drums.
I too love Ringo. I went to his All Starr Band concert several years ago. After playing several hours he ended the show singing the song while doing jumping jacks the whole time! Incredible!
Ringo has always been the most carefree , easy going guy in every interview I've seen of him. Glad he's found sobriety and enjoying life. And sharing himself with us.
Ringo and Paul were likely the closest band mates instrumentally because bass and drums have to form a tight bond to be successful. This is possibly one of the most overlooked aspects of the Beatles. Sure their harmonies were terrific and everyone likes to point that out. But listen closely to how in sync the drums and bass are in any one of their songs. And Ringo was an absolute artist on the drum, so much so that it meshed perfectly with the theme of the song and go somewhat unnoticed when compared with the vocals and guitar.
Exactly. If you DON'T hear the drummer, he's perfect.
Paul and John by far.
@@jamesstewart8377 the point I am making is that the bass and drummer have to be in sync no matter the band- they form the foundation of the band and as a player myself I can attest to the universal truth. Rhythm and bass are important but not as much. Now you know.
RIngo is the oldest Beatle, 82 this July. He is three months older than John. Paul will be be 80 in June and George was the youngest!
I can’t even tell how happy I feel seeing this guy!
I wish I was alive when they performed as THE BEATLES. ❤️
My parents met here in Liverpool in 1961 and a large portion of there dates back then we're spent at the Cavern dancing and singing away to the local bands. My Dad always said we must have seen the Beatles a hundred times when I ask my Mum she says it was easily 50-60 maybe not a hundred but it was a lot. My Dad was a musician and had many friends who played in other Liverpool bands also performing on the same shows so it was no big deal back then it was just watching the local talent at the hippest place around for a pair of music loving teenagers.
Me too!
I was!
@@mrjasondylan thats badass Jason! A truly priceless experience in their lives :)
As a young child, I saw them play on the Ed Sullivan Show when they came to the states. It took me a micro second to notice Ringo, and he's been my favorite Beatle ever since. He just looked like he was having such fun on those drums.
For me the gig on the roof was a revelation because it’s the only time i’ve seen them play live without any crowd interference and also the addition of the keyboards gave it a really full and warm sound.✌️❤️
Paul and Ringo can never pass, they each are wonderful people. We hope that day is long away.
They have been in my life for 58 years since Ed Sullivan. The pain I felt with John's passing will be duplicated when one of them dies-a reminder of my own mortality.
I hear ya
@@PC4USE1 yes indeed..andwe we miss Harrison much too
Well, apparently Paul can pass gas.
To me they have always been my family. So when I lose one it hits me like a ton of bricks
First of all, he is a worldwide treasure. In an age where people are being nasty left and right, this guy is positivity personified. Second, the guy is 80 years old for crying out loud. I hope I'm one tenth as alive when I'm that age. Third, you know he's told those stories for 50 years (e.g., how "Octopus's Garden" was inspired -- "Pete's boat" indeed) but the stories are as fresh as if he just remembered them for the first time in years. BTW, I love that Jimmy is in awe but is a great kidder. It's like they were great friends there. They aren't friends in the normal sense. We all feel like we know Ringo (millions upon millions of us) and he his generous enough to feel like he knows you too. I'm a huge, huge fan of him as a human being and as an artist.
Apparently he's nearly 82! Born in 1940.

@@shahaffiq5860 You would too if you had the best food, doctors, lifestyle.
is he actually aging? shocked.
Ringo just sort-of quietly sailed through his fame. No big dramas, nothing scandalous. Now you look back and realize he was the oldest and most sickly (when young) and the last member to get on board the Beatles, yet made it all this way and stills looks amazingly well too!!
he did have a stint in rehab (with his wife) to beat the bottle, but nobody was really paying attention to him in the mid 80s
Ringo is smart enough to keep quiet about things he has no control over ...John and George both were physically attacked the night before the day they planned to talk too much...
Ringos energy is phenomenal as is Paul’s there ability to keep on doing what they love is unbelievable ❤️
10:10 "I gotta say that because the other two aren't with us anymore(smiles)."
I got emotional there. They have our hearts!
"Octopus' Garden" is a MAGNIFICENT song. Very underrated, and I love it so much! I actually start learning English playing Beatles songs like this one. Ringo is right, is super easy to play on the guitar, only a couple of notes. My children love the song too. I got emotional watching him talking about this one.
No it's not and neither is 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer'. Anything in the White Album however... It's just such an earth-shattering masterpiece through and through.
It's quite nice. I think he was selling the song short here just because of his humility, but there's more to it than just an octopus's garden under a sea. To me the song evokes the feeling of safety in your own little bubble with your buddies. That line "we would be warm below the storm" is really something. George Harrison said something about this in an interview too, he thought the song was quite nice for that reason, a possible further reading
Awesome! My cousin, while he was learning English used to watch Happy Days and told me that he loved listening to the Fonz cause he annunciated every word.
@@mauriceortiz8817 hahaha what a cool story!
Since Ringo couldn't even play guitar and only knew about three notes I would completely disagree, especially if you listen to the guitar progressions on Octopus's Garden. It was fairly complicated.
Most people dont realize how good of a drummer Ringo was. An incredible talent.
No, his set up and play was just basic. If you think he was great, check out Nick Mc Brain's (Iron Maiden) or Annika Nilles's, Nico Kaukussan's (Amon Smart), Lars Ulrich's (Metallica) ... set up and play... than you see what talented really stands for.
@@Thomas83KO nah he’s the greatest rock drummer ever
@@Thomas83KO I'm sorry, but Ulrich can't keep the tempo. He ruins the live shows.
@@Thomas83KO Ringo Starr was left handed and played a right handed kit. This allowed for some of the most unique fills of the 60s and 70s. He was an unconventional drummer that combined aspects of jazz drumming (usage of swings) with rocker drumming. He was able to keep up a tempo with the other three by watching their footwork during their live shows because he couldn’t hear them over all the screaming girls. Listen to his drum work on songs like Come Together, Rain, and Ticket To Ride. He wasn’t flashy, he didn’t like drum solos. He didn’t need any of those to be one of the most unique drummers of the rock genre.
Ringo was the beat in the Beatles.
@@Thomas83KO You're joking right?!
This guy has been through it all. The good, the bad and the ugly, and he came out the other side over 60 years and forgot to get old.
It's so wonderful to see Ringo so alive. Bless him always
Great interview and very happy to see how vibrant Ringo remains at the age of 82. What a life he has led and he is still a good person with a big heart.
Talent personified. Yet mostly, he brings happiness to the world. Thank you Ringo
"Which Beatle was the most gaseous?"
"Paul. I have to say that because the other two aren't with us anymore."
"Cool" and "grace" don't often end up in the same sentence together but, really, Ringo embodies both.
Yes, that increasingly rare combination of funny, charming, witty, but never offensive-the sign of a good English upbringing. And I'm not English.
A wonderfully humble man who has led a wonderful life, full of accomplishment and wonder. And the greatest drummer of all
From one 81yr old to another, Ringo, you arre the greatest showman of all . You have never changed, and never will. thank you thank you.
Dying your hair, he’s vegetarian, quit drugs and alcohol 34 years ago, keeping a good attitude, he’s professional and having a good all that helps but playing music and being active physically and mentally and spiritually is the key Ringo is the greatest!!👍
81 and a half years old! Go Ringo!
He’s a really primitive drummer. Lucky, though.
@@robertlee8042
He’s an incredibly creative and musical drummer with superb time
If that’s primative, I’ll take that all day every day
Nothing to do with luck, the other Beatles have spoken about how they had their eye on him in Hamburg as Pete’s replacement because when he stood in, the band felt better
In the rooftop concert you can see Ringo was going grey in his hair even back then
Being 81 yrs old he looks good with black or gray hair😁
Ringo at 81 and he still has it. Amazing! The enthusiasm of his voice talking about playing on the roof live. In the rain but excited because it was live.
That sweet moment in Get back when Ringo plays with McCartneys daughter heather on the drums. :)
I love the story behind Octopus' Garden!! Sure it's a little strange, but I always loved it!!

Crazy that for some people it took a documentary and 50 years to realize what a genius Paul is bc they kept believing what people who were really competitive with him said to downplay his talent. Like Bob Dylan and Paul Simon have both said, he's not only one of the best songwriters ever but also completely on a league of his own musically
Spot on. He'll be remembered in 200 years, like Mozart. They both have an incredible gift for melody (among many other things).
Paul as a composer,singer and musician cannot be duplicated. The others had their own genius,especially John but Paul is unique.

I am so happy that Ringo and Walsh are still with us. They got through dark times and are so much in a better place!
Even 60+ years later, the Beatles are still a cultural phenomenon... the true definition of legends. You just have to ask yourself if any artist or group today can achieve this kind of longevity 60 years from now? Only time will tell I guess...
No and that's the magic of The Beatles. Everyone on this Earth knows who they were. No other group has commanded this kind of attention.
The rooftop gig is worth popping the kettle on for and just sitting with a biscuit and enjoying a super tight band playing and making great music together. My favourite Beatles performance as I can hear them and the balance of sound they create is wonderful.
Ringo stopped both drinking and aging in 1988.
Also...I think it is pretty awesome that my 7 year old is as big a fan as I am. Peace and Love!

Us ”GREAT!!!”
Ringo ”Great, see you in an hour or so!”
Legend.
An excellent interview. There is no way to describe the impact the Beatles had and still have on everyone who knew them and their music!
Ringo and Paul are awesome. It doesn't seem they have let money and celebrity status go to their heads. It is amazing how young Ringo and Barbara look.
Ringo is such a legend. I love him to pieces.
The Beatles were the best band ever. Every band you see after were influenced by them. They had the best sense of humor and were great influencers. People listened to them
Best thing Ring's ever did was get sober. You see old interviews and it's sad how wrecked he was. Ever since he always has a great attitude and seems happy. Amazing his body recovered the way it did. I'll be devastated when he and Paul are gone.
It's amazing how someone who had some terrible childhood diseases with long stays in the hospital, achieved a level of fame few people would have survived, yet here he is one of two living and he looks just as marvelous as you would expect the one and only Ringo Starr would.
Adore all of them… long live Ringo and Paul
Oh boy, the Beatles... What legends, what a story, what goosebumps!
(Not dismissing other great bands, but there's something special about these lads from Liverpool, ain't there?)
It might surprise you to learn that Ringo's in his 80's, but when you consider that he's been in the music industry since the 60's as an adult, it becomes less surprising.

It's impossible not to love Ringo. Cool as the other side of the pillow.
Ringo deserves a healthy long life after being so sick as a child.
He’s outlived most rock stars of his era.
Well he got it
Totally agree ! There should be a movie made about his life ! Its one hell of a story !
Paul McCartney said "Ringo will outlive us all"
Ringo is such great and outstanding gentleman.
Love him!!!
I loved the scene where Paul's wife and some other guy I forgot were talking about how much they loved ringo and how Paul always felt great around him
Of course excepting the times around the breakup when it was Paul against the other three in court battling over management and money. Ringo once drove out to Paul's home to give him some papers regarding those court battles and Paul slammed the door in his face. There was quite a time when they were not on good terms.
Ringo also had a very serious alcohol and cocaine problem in the 70's and 80's and was often rude and obnoxious in public settings. Hard to believe, as he is so deservedly beloved these days and just the nicest person. And remarkable that he is so well preserved after childhood illness and abusing his body so badly for such a lengthy period.
Linda also said she felt the most comfortable and relaxed around Ringo. He was just top notch laid back and chill, today as much as back then.
John was the one, if I recall correctly, who first recognized Ringo's own original drumming. Ringo had his own unique beat & tympani combo which, obviously, worked out quite well!
I saw Ringo and those other guys, LIVE, in concert, on my 9th birthday !! 22Aug1965 Portland OR
While they played, I thought, 'This is the best place to be on the Planet' I was not wrong.

Ringo DID leave the band during the White Album and listen to how awesome Paul is on drums during Dear Prudence. He's not Ringo, but those fills filling almost entire verse during Dear Prudence is not a Ringo thing to do, but they're awesome. Don't forget that the drummer on Band on the Run (the entire album) is Paul.
Yeah, we know Paul is a genius. Actually, each in their own way in how they created, collaborated, and produce product is a genius. And each one proved themselves as solo. Frickin amazing.
Yep !!
Ringo played the fills actually...paul laid the main beat
@@DanVassiliou It's not 100% known for sure, but it is likely that Ringo came back and overdubbed the fills for Prudence. And he is good at that sort of thing - think of Come Together or the last verse of Let It Be.
Paul's not the only genius, so was George Martin.
Ringo Starr is the kindest gentleman I have ever seen he is a man's man
Both Ringo and Paul know how to tell a story.
There's an art just in that and these guys have a ton of them.
I remember the remaining two Beastie Boys did some shows with them simply telling stories.
I really thought it turned out great.
Can you imagine if these two did that?
It would draw more people than the greatest most popular Broadway show would.
I really hope they do something like that while they're still with us.
Not to mention I hope they both have many, many years left.
