Greg McKinney I think Ringo was actually the most revered of the Beatles to the other Beatles. Shame they make up garbage that the others didn’t consider Ringo a very good drummer. The whole thing about John saying Ringo wasn’t the best drummer in Beatles is completely made up and has never been found to have come from John.
@@gutenbird As a drummer I can say Ringo is just adequate. While its true that the "he isn't even the best drummer in the beatles" quote was purely fictitious there were a number of times where he was replaced as the recording artist. He can hold a beat but even by 60s standards his playing is pretty plain. It works but isn't amazing playing by any means.
@@SemberUno Well, you are probably completely correct. I say that not because I think Ringo sucked but because when you are only looking at certain playing skills, usually you will find someone a lot better than someone in most bands simply from a technical stand point. But that's not really what a band is about. Are there better bass players than McCartney? Sure. Many from a technical point even in the 60s. I just don't think that's the point. Ringo really served The Beatles well. I am not pretending to be an expert or have great knowledge. I know some say he was average and many say that he is completely underrated. I know one thing is that he did allow the ideas of Lennon and McCartney to shine through where Best did not.
Classical music fans are still obsessed with Mozart and Beethoven and that was more than 300 years ago. We are almost taught that every generation takes from previous generations and improves upon ideas and technology but it's not necessarily true especially in the arts.
sometimes I get tired of beatles stuff, but always end up watching them at a later time. But I never tire of listening to Harrison interviews. It always saves my life in some way. When he talks I feel such a sense of knowing where to put myself, for lack of a better way of expressing it.
My son passed in 2/22 and I have found such solace in listening to his words of wisdom. I feel that my son is reaching out speaking to me through George’s words. It helps me so much with my grieving journey.
As a songwriter/singer myself, I am in AWE of Sir Paul's song catalog & vocal performances. EACH of these band members' talent & work product was -- and still is -- stunning. It's impossible to think of contemporary music without the influence of the Beatles.
George was the best of all of them. Laid back, calm and quiet..... and boy was he talented. He never got the recognition that he deserved in my opinion.

@@notleeland I totally agree! The Beatles are timeless! Every song, every album, every record is a masterpiece of its own kind. This is a musical and artistic genius uniqueness! Just considering that in the Rolling Stone’s definitive list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, The Beatles ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ is in the first place, ‘Revolver’ in the third and ‘Rubber Soul’ in the 5th, ‘The White Album’ in the 10th and ‘Abbey Road’ in the 14th, making The Beatles the greatest band on Earth! To prove this, for the first time ever, NASA beamed a song - The Beatles' "Across the Universe" - directly into deep space at 7 p.m. EST on Feb. 4, 2008. The transmission was aimed at the North Star, Polaris, which is located 431 light years away from Earth. The song traveled across the universe at a speed of 186,000 miles per second.This to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the song's recording, the 45th anniversary of the Deep Space Network, and the 50th anniversary of NASA. "Amazing! Well done, NASA!" Paul McCartney said in a message to the space agency. "Send my love to the aliens. All the best, Paul." !!! It is not the first time Beatles music has been used by NASA; in November 2005, McCartney performed the song "Good Day Sunshine" during a concert that was transmitted to the International Space Station. "Here Comes the Sun," "Ticket to Ride" and "A Hard Day's Night" are among other Beatles' songs that have been played to wake astronaut crews in orbit. This is an amazing fact : Beatles music to every living being across the Universe.....

THANK YOU! from Buenos Aires ARGENTINA I´m a Beatles fan since I was 4, it's so good to be able to see and hear all of their stories after the band split
Paul wrote "Yesterday" at 22 years old and did it in a dream. He was going to call it scrambled eggs. Just a small example of what was a silly song from a dream that turned out to be a hit that in itself would have made a career to another musician alone. Add to that all the other great songs Paul, John and George wrote either together or separately it is astounding. Heck even Ringo did great solo. But he also did not do too shabby being the human drum machine for the most successful rock band in history. All the ingredients were just right and there are so many required for this level of success with a rock/pop band.
Oh, for heavens sake he was never going to call Scrambled Eggs. They were just some holding lyrics he used before he got around to writing proper ones.
This is B.S. John Lennon never said that about Ringo. It was a British comedian who said that. Rings is one of the best greatest drummers in the world. Modern drummers still utilize his innovations.
@@colinbaker3916 It was actually from a Radio 4 comedy series "Radioactive" in 1981, written by Geoffrey Perkins. The actual comment is here: www.radiox.co.uk/artists/beatles/did-john-lennon-say-ringo-wasnt-even-best-drummer/
The Beatles have always been a part of my life. Being a later baby boomer (born in 1963) I know i heard their music on the radio as a child. As a teen the Beatles became my passion as classic rock stations played them all of the time. i know exactly where i was when i heard about John Lennon s death and also about George Harrison s death. I was blessed to have seen Paul McCartney play live in 1990 and to have seen Ringo Starr and his band play in 2016. Although I consider myself to have an eclectic taste music, nothing compares to the Beatles, i still listen to them every day or read a book about them or watch a RUclips video about them. the Beatles are the best! peace every one... like Tom Hanks said about George Harrison, although all things must pass, the Beatles will last forever!
I’m glad he’s happy now with Nancy. She is very similar background to Linda, very rich family so he doesn’t have to worry about her motives as he did with the awful Heather Mills. Tickets for his tours sell out in minutes & the Carpool Karaoke he did with James Corden reduced James to tears of emotion as his grandfather had been such a fan. He is a living legend, not just in his home city Liverpool, as was shown in Carpool Karaoke, but worldwide. At 77 he is still performing & draws in new fans who probably weren’t born at time of Beatles. Rest In Peace John & George.
"The awful Heather Mills" ?! You normies live in a Disney-fantasy world. First of: The reason you normie fans doesn't like Heather is because she hinted on tv that her ex husband is ANOTHER MAN. That did provoke you people living with your eyes closed. You aren't capable thinking Heather had VERY GOOD reasons for divorcing "Sir Paul" (William). The money William payed Heather was "a piss in the ocean" for him really. You should google "The Linda tapes" instead of being so gullible that you believe Bill and Linda had a "perfect marriage". You normies, you are so naive. You would look at "Sir Paul" more sober if you were aware that he is NOT James Paul McCartney. William works better with jewish women instead of "gentiles". The first group mentioned is ok with scams. I am forever grateful for what Heather did. Some day she will get the respect she deserves. When people knows the full truth.
@@olskzeri2723 Heather Mills said he isn't the real Paul McCartney because her marriage fell to bits and she knew the story from the 60s, part of the publicity to sell Abbey Road. It's the sort of thing that women do like cutting up all your suits and throwing them in the garden. No, it's not true. Heather Mills has lied plenty of times anyway, long before she married McCartney. That's why the media disliked her so much and all the "Goody Goody" stuff never redeemed her - made it worse. Perhaps he DID beat her, so what? I would but you can't believe stuff like that - anyone says things about an ex and she was looking at two hundred mill. if she could prove he mistreated her - or was an impostor. Thin stuff, eh? - "I want loads of money because he's been dead for years, he's LYING TO THE WORLD!!!" All water under the bridge now though - unless you have a tinfoil hat. It's hooey but it still sells records. Olsk Zeri is an idiot that is guaranteed to have never worked in advertising and he thinks a publicity stunt is "The Martians are living under the North Pole and the CIS know all about it". Another clown says that "Billy Shears", the McCartney impostor, had a very narrow vocal range. Really........
36:50 too many cameras for such a private person... George never wanted to be famous, he just wanted to be successful but he ended up being one of most famous and recognizable people in the world... George is my favorite Beatle... He was such a gentle person...I love him not only for his music but also for his personality... Nobody in the world is 100% perfect but George was 99% perfect... Rest in peace dear sweet George while your guitar gently weeps ❤️
George also came to be my favorite Beattle as well. I liked them as a group but didnt have a favorite until sometime after the breakup & George begin to shine with his solo releases. However, John's IMAGINE is the most special song by a Beatle in my opinion.
Not a Yoko fan, but her treatment of Julian likely is heavily influenced by Japanese culture. It may be changing somewhat recently, but for Yoko's generation (and younger really) when there's a divorce children usually stay with the mother and there is ZERO contact with the father again. There's no visitation as is common in the US and other Western nations.
@@kmslegal7808 She may have done some things differently than most, but she was still Japanese just as John was still English. Nobody completely sheds their culture. The way she treated Julian completely aligns with her culture. From her cultural perspective, what possible reason would she have give Julian anything? He wasn't part of the family. As far as she's concerned, Julian had as much right to John's money and items as we do. That she even allowed Julian contact with his father, much less stay with them for a while was her relaxing her cultural norms to some degree.
When Double Fantasy came out i rushed to buy the record. Johns music was better than ever but when i played the flipside with Yuko the speakers gave out a screaching noise! I thought it was a bad pressing but then realized its just bad stuff that could never sell or be recorded by any label on its own merit.
Don Dressel It wasn’t just Yoko, Paul wouldn’t accept Klein as a manager & subsequently was proved right two years later. I’m just glad he & Paul made it up before he was killed. John subsequently said the two most important people in his life were Paul McCartney & Yoko. I can’t stand Yoko but Paul saw that Cynthia was pipe & slippers person whereas Yoko totally opposite
Such a true point, especially considering George and Lynne were the 2 original members. And sofa king TALENTED, while writing and producing every member of the groups own records, in addition to producing both TW's albums!!!!!
Az Drummer I’m aware that Jeff Lynne produced Tom Petty and some George Harrison. Are you saying that he also produced a Bob Dylan album at some point? If so, what album? ...I agree with you, so effing talented, the Wilbury albums are pure genius and lots of fun to listen to!
@@nelgstuart3442 Nope That's a Lie,John Lennon was a staunch Atheist,Listen to his solo songs 'Imagine','God' and his statements on Jesus and Christianity.
@@calebplant3491 Yeah, his athiest phase just like his christian phase, but I am sorry his roots were in the christian church from a baby, because his aunt mimi raised him that way. there are lots of "heat of the moment" statements John wrote and said, but this is my sincere opinion, you can believe what you like. Would you rather believe John went to Hell? Or do you even believe there is a Hell? When people are faced with death, if they have 20 seconds, and have been exposed to the Bible and Christ's words, THEY WILL call on the name of the Lord, and God will save that person. If you don't believe in the Bible or Christ, then your paradigm is limited to what you believe, even if the truth is the opposite.
Not that long ago, Yoko admitted in an interview, that what she really wanted to do for a career was be in a band and art was 2nd. REALLY, no one would have ever guessed that! She should be arrested for Hijacking a band!
I'm not a fan of Yoko. I think she is quite terrible, but the Beatles were destined for a break up. They were all going their separate ways and it was time for them to disband, as sad as that is for the world to accept. Yoko gets unfairly blamed for the break up.
@@challism Obviously, there were underlying tensions, and that level of fame takes a toll on anybody. But Yoko played that up. She wanted John for herself, and in the end she got it, and then dumped him. Ironically, Paul played a part in bringing them back together.
41:46 I have heard that John Lennon was not the one who said "Ringo wasnt even the best drummer in the Beatles" but instead that line came from a British comedian.
Billy Shepherd was the best Drummer in the Beatles, in the studio. Ringo was basically hired for live shows originally and developed into a fine studio drummer.
@@timothyturner8634 I totally disagree, Ringo was the perfect drummer for The Beatles, rock-solid beat, understated, and listen to the drumming on the intro. to A Day In The Life, there are good session drummers who could not manage that, even today
as most who have not been with bands, when people are talented one way or another way, after a while you do feel like the walls are closing in. everyone needs to go solo or by themselves to see how it is- often some find trying to do this is harder than actually doing it - To have others to bounce ideas off at the very moment it comes out of you is why the beatles were so successful together - destiny was as I see it was going to happen from the beginning to the end
Clem Alford ah, yes, a legend in her own mind! No musical ability whatsoever. Her singing is absolutely atrocious, as mentioned elsewhere in this comment thread. And she’s absolutely hideous to boot! Not just her looks, her personality is repulsive too.
Roger Penske said, "Luck is where preparation meets opportunity." The Beatles were as lucky as anyone in show business history. When their opportunity to make the Big Time came, it was after they had spent thousands of hours, individually and collectively, preparing for it.
John Lennon never said Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles, that was a comment by a gobshite radio presenter/comedian not worthy to tie Ringo's shoe laces. Ringo may not be a technician but you can tell every Beatles song by Ringo's drum track alone. He's one of the best - and that's an authentic Lennon quote.
But Fab four with real Paul McCartney had more energy and happiness than "Billy Shears" with "Fab three". I think that William's Sgt Pepper is greatly overrated. Paul's "Revolver" album is better than Sgt Pepper.
Very happy for George having such a beautiful family. Dani seems an intelligent thoughtful lad. Olivia is beautiful serene smart and very spiritually empathic. George died an enviable death, surrounded by loved ones. Have you heard Olivias account of George's last moment, in Scorceses film of George Harrison? .....
This kind of doco is the reason why people hate rock music journalism. It starts dismally by sacrificing the musicians' individual efforts on the altar of their careers as a band; then goes downhill from there with a poorly-researched timeline, inaccurate claims, and tawdry innuendoes.
"John also insisted that Yoko be allowed artistic input into The Beatles recordings" IMHO, John could shag and/or marry whoever he wanted but The Beatles should have been insulated and secured from influences like her.
A lot of wrong information in this documentary, Help! came out on 1965 not '66, Ringo has 2 sons and a daughter not 3 sons, Beaucoups of Blues had 1 single not 2 singles.
@Dean Morrow: I think they referred to the movie, not the LP. The movie, "Help" would go through a number of edits to get the sequences working the way they should, and that would take quite a lot of time, while the album would come together over perhaps as much as a week's worth of sessions.
@@neilforbes416 as for australia the album came out in september and the movie around october 65 but that time the group were in their early stages making rubber soul that was released in australia february 1966
"Not only is he not the best drummer in the world, he's not the best drummer in the Beatles." During this whole documentary that's what stuck in my mind. According to Elio in this comments section, John never said that but he could have. We always thought of Ringo as a meat & potatoes drummer. He wasn't fancy but he was always right there with the beat. This was in the time of Keith Moon of the Who and a lot of other great drummers so people were comparing him.
Chapman was hypnotised because he repeated the actions of the previous day in meeting John Lennon at the Dakota entrance. The first day was a trial run.
Leave Yoko Ono alone...she's a wonderful artistic human being...John respected her original and engaged, wildly artistic being....you're all weird for even caring so much to the point to speak ill of her.....peace to all
johnny dark Do you really think he didn't know? People in those circles knew. The world, even then, was not as ordinary people thought it to be... Unfortunately.
I always wonder what Heather Mills devastating secret was/is. And I would much prefer it to be the PID theory be true than Paul or any of the others having something to do with the shit Saville was into . That would sure as hell devastate me!! 😮😮😥😥
Bullcrap......Not particularly an Ono fan meself ...but it's not about being "pretty" ....he saw something in her , just like the countless other weird couples walking this planet....where 90 % of marriages fail....so Saint John was human after all...and not much different from those other silly "pretty" couples.....
Terry Williams the Welsh drummer is a very special musician, he's in his 70's now but he could put the hammer down and has done a few sessions for Ringo & Friends.
He would be like how Roger waters is now ..on the news talking or arguing about the white house or the world's bullshit problems, putting on political concerts. That's how I see John today anyway....
Ringo actually ended his notice to stop signing autographs by saying "Ive got blisters on my fingers !" Great documentary. Learned a few things I didnt know. Still cant get over how much Dahni looks like George. It's uncanny !
@@olskzeri2723 Right? But many people aren't ready to digest that- depending on your personal connection with the Beatles - it is a shocking & heart- wrenching realization to have- haunting as well, sometimes some things are better left unsaid- -& I'm the worst at holding my tongue!!
Ringo's 1973 eponymous LP (eponymous means self-titled), where he included "Photograph", "Back off, Boogaloo" and his remake of the old Johnny Burnette hit, "You're Sixteen" has been ignored in this doco.
@@worlds1ep3enthusiast92 Okay, I stand corrected on "Back Off Boogaloo" but it was Tr.5/Side A of *Blast From Your Past* Apple PCTC-7170, which I thought to be an Australia-only LP but seems to have turned up in Britain as PCS-7170 and in the lesser USA market as SW-3422 and in Germany as 1C 062-06 008. Perhaps initially it was meant as an Australia-Only issue but EMI's parent company in Britain thought enough of it to "spread the joy". The British issue was on 12th December, 1975 where as the Australian issue was about mid-year.
Ringo, speaking about himself "...I am your basic offbeat drummer with funny fills". Narrator says "Ringo was a right handed drummer playing a left hand kit".
John's rickety personality structure, embittered by his father's abandonment, the loss of his beloved mother and temperament to nasty when it suited him, was no match to LSD and heroin. John must have been guarded by some Providential Grace while he used hard drugs, but it ruined his judgment. Evidently Providence was not on duty at the Dakota that night. He was cleaned up and on the right road to life but there were no highway signs that warned there was "Danger Ahead."
we hippies are so forgiving when other people get murdered and raped and we are so against prison and authority, but when it's one of us we don't want the murderer out, even after almost 40 years. And no, Yoko did not forgive Chapman, and yes she's still advising against his release. And in 13:05 they are actually threatening him when he does come free.
No one's ever got a bad word to say about George. So sweet and gifted, universally respected.

@@colinbaker3916 It was actually from a Radio 4 comedy series "Radioactive" in 1981, written by Geoffrey Perkins. The actual comment is here: www.radiox.co.uk/artists/beatles/did-john-lennon-say-ringo-wasnt-even-best-drummer/
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think John was kidding... He did have that "biting" sense of humor...
The Beatles have always been a part of my life. Being a later baby boomer (born in 1963) I know i heard their music on the radio as a child. As a teen the Beatles became my passion as classic rock stations played them all of the time. i know exactly where i was when i heard about John Lennon s death and also about George Harrison s death. I was blessed to have seen Paul McCartney play live in 1990 and to have seen Ringo Starr and his band play in 2016. Although I consider myself to have an eclectic taste music, nothing compares to the Beatles, i still listen to them every day or read a book about them or watch a RUclips video about them. the Beatles are the best! peace every one... like Tom Hanks said about George Harrison, although all things must pass, the Beatles will last forever!
You didn't see Paul McCartney my friend.
Ölsk Zeri how do you know?
Jasper Halsey El imbecil ese va por todas partes diciendo que Paul murió en 1966, no hagas caso.
@@olskzeri2723 What makes you say that ? That was the year of McCartney's World Tour. He could easily have seen him.
George, a wonderful artist.
Julian Lennon flew right out and stayed with them while Yoko made her statement which excluded him. Very Sad for Julian.
Damn
I have always felt bad for Julian. Good guy and never deserved the treatment he (aparrently) received.
It's notable that during his split from Yoko he linked up with Julian again. I've listened to all the Yoko apologists and I don't buy any of it.
Lennon was a terrible father and Yoko a master manipulator!
I’m glad he’s happy now with Nancy. She is very similar background to Linda, very rich family so he doesn’t have to worry about her motives as he did with the awful Heather Mills. Tickets for his tours sell out in minutes & the Carpool Karaoke he did with James Corden reduced James to tears of emotion as his grandfather had been such a fan. He is a living legend, not just in his home city Liverpool, as was shown in Carpool Karaoke, but worldwide. At 77 he is still performing & draws in new fans who probably weren’t born at time of Beatles. Rest In Peace John & George.
"The awful Heather Mills" ?! You normies live in a Disney-fantasy world.
First of: The reason you normie fans doesn't like Heather is because she hinted on tv that her ex husband is ANOTHER MAN. That did provoke you people living with your eyes closed.
You aren't capable thinking Heather had VERY GOOD reasons for divorcing "Sir Paul" (William).
The money William payed Heather was "a piss in the ocean" for him really.
You should google "The Linda tapes" instead of being so gullible that you believe Bill and Linda had a "perfect marriage".
You normies, you are so naive.
You would look at "Sir Paul" more sober if you were aware that he is NOT James Paul McCartney.
William works better with jewish women instead of "gentiles".
The first group mentioned is ok with scams.
I am forever grateful for what Heather did. Some day she will get the respect she deserves.
When people knows the full truth.
@@olskzeri2723 Heather Mills said he isn't the real Paul McCartney because her marriage fell to bits and she knew the story from the 60s, part of the publicity to sell Abbey Road. It's the sort of thing that women do like cutting up all your suits and throwing them in the garden. No, it's not true. Heather Mills has lied plenty of times anyway, long before she married McCartney. That's why the media disliked her so much and all the "Goody Goody" stuff never redeemed her - made it worse.
Perhaps he DID beat her, so what? I would but you can't believe stuff like that - anyone says things about an ex and she was looking at two hundred mill. if she could prove he mistreated her - or was an impostor. Thin stuff, eh? - "I want loads of money because he's been dead for years, he's LYING TO THE WORLD!!!" All water under the bridge now though - unless you have a tinfoil hat. It's hooey but it still sells records.
Olsk Zeri is an idiot that is guaranteed to have never worked in advertising and he thinks a publicity stunt is "The Martians are living under the North Pole and the CIS know all about it". Another clown says that "Billy Shears", the McCartney impostor, had a very narrow vocal range. Really........
The Beatles ARE number 1 in my book
Rest in Peace, John, Our
Dear Peacemaker. God Bless You.
Considering Paul has wrote sung performed instrmemenly for so many years...HAS TO BE THE GREATEST PERFORMER OF ALL TIME
36:50 too many cameras for such a private person... George never wanted to be famous, he just wanted to be successful but he ended up being one of most famous and recognizable people in the world...
George is my favorite Beatle... He was such a gentle person...I love him not only for his music but also for his personality... Nobody in the world is 100% perfect but George was 99% perfect...
Rest in peace dear sweet George while your guitar gently weeps ❤️
George also came to be my favorite Beattle as well. I liked them as a group but didnt have a favorite until sometime after the breakup & George begin to shine with his solo releases. However, John's IMAGINE is the most special song by a Beatle in my opinion.
Gifted guys from Liverpool,thank you so much.
I totally agree. She is controlling, greedy & disgusted at her attitude towards Julien, he said Paul was more of a father to him
Shit Paul McCartney should have been Julian dad rather than John because Paul was more than a father figure
John wanted to be controlled and different. Pathetic
Not a Yoko fan, but her treatment of Julian likely is heavily influenced by Japanese culture. It may be changing somewhat recently, but for Yoko's generation (and younger really) when there's a divorce children usually stay with the mother and there is ZERO contact with the father again. There's no visitation as is common in the US and other Western nations.
@@erad67 Yoko was hardly one to follow cultural norms. She was a greedy , jealous bitch and resented Julian
@@kmslegal7808 She may have done some things differently than most, but she was still Japanese just as John was still English. Nobody completely sheds their culture.
The way she treated Julian completely aligns with her culture. From her cultural perspective, what possible reason would she have give Julian anything? He wasn't part of the family. As far as she's concerned, Julian had as much right to John's money and items as we do.
That she even allowed Julian contact with his father, much less stay with them for a while was her relaxing her cultural norms to some degree.
When Double Fantasy came out i rushed to buy the record. Johns music was better than ever but when i played the flipside with Yuko the speakers gave out a screaching noise! I thought it was a bad pressing but then realized its just bad stuff that could never sell or be recorded by any label on its own merit.
That's the big advantage of digital downloads. Keep the good stuff and delete the bad (a.k.a. Yoko).
Trevor
Double Fantasy was just commercial TRASH!!!!!!!
It’s amazing what a woman can do to a man or in this case a band of men
Don Dressel It wasn’t just Yoko, Paul wouldn’t accept Klein as a manager & subsequently was proved right two years later. I’m just glad he & Paul made it up before he was killed. John subsequently said the two most important people in his life were Paul McCartney & Yoko. I can’t stand Yoko but Paul saw that Cynthia was pipe & slippers person whereas Yoko totally opposite
Tell me about it....lol

And sofa king TALENTED, while writing and producing every member of the groups own records, in addition to producing both TW's albums!!!!!

John's song: "Life begins at 40"
How ironic 😭😔
That WAS the beginning of his real life with God. I believe John
had faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ and went to be with his Father,
God.
@@nelgstuart3442 Nope That's a Lie,John Lennon was a staunch Atheist,Listen to his solo songs 'Imagine','God' and his statements on Jesus and Christianity.
@@calebplant3491 Yeah, his athiest phase just like
his christian phase, but I am sorry his
roots were in the christian church from a
baby, because his aunt mimi raised him
that way. there are lots of "heat of the
moment" statements John wrote and said,
but this is my sincere opinion, you can believe
what you like. Would you rather believe John
went to Hell? Or do you even believe there is
a Hell?
When people are faced with death, if they
have 20 seconds, and have been exposed
to the Bible and Christ's words, THEY WILL
call on the name of the Lord, and God will
save that person. If you don't believe in the
Bible or Christ, then your paradigm is limited
to what you believe, even if the truth is the
opposite.
@@nelgstuart3442 John Lennon had no phase,He died a Atheist He was an actual smart person.
@@calebplant3491
It is a fool who says there is no God.
John was no fool.
Yoko ruin everything even this video whe she started hawling I felt my headphones crying inside 😵
Not that long ago, Yoko admitted in an interview, that what she really wanted to do for a career was be in a band and art was 2nd. REALLY, no one would have ever guessed that! She should be arrested for Hijacking a band!
I'm not a fan of Yoko. I think she is quite terrible, but the Beatles were destined for a break up. They were all going their separate ways and it was time for them to disband, as sad as that is for the world to accept. Yoko gets unfairly blamed for the break up.
give it a rest.....
@@challism Obviously, there were underlying tensions, and that level of fame takes a toll on anybody. But Yoko played that up. She wanted John for herself, and in the end she got it, and then dumped him. Ironically, Paul played a part in bringing them back together.
41:46 I have heard that John Lennon was not the one who said "Ringo wasnt even the best drummer in the Beatles" but instead that line came from a British comedian.
Billy Shepherd was the best Drummer in the Beatles, in the studio. Ringo was basically hired for live shows originally and developed into a fine studio drummer.
@@timothyturner8634 I totally disagree, Ringo was the perfect drummer for The Beatles, rock-solid beat, understated, and listen to the drumming on the intro. to A Day In The Life, there are good session drummers who could not manage that, even today
The three played on a song dedicated to John on George’s album in 81 I think it was ,,,, it’s a special song🏴✌🏻🇬🇧
"All those years ago"
The world would have been different if not for the Beatles. That is how much impact they had.
Beatles Forever!😎. God Bless.
as most who have not been with bands, when people are talented one way or another way, after a while you do feel like the walls are closing in. everyone needs to go solo or by themselves to see how it is- often some find trying to do this is harder than actually doing it - To have others to bounce ideas off at the very moment it comes out of you is why the beatles were so successful together - destiny was as I see it was going to happen from the beginning to the end
The Beatles have talent in every pore!
The Beatles greatest Rock n Roll band of all time
Yoko Ono, a most talentless woman.
Beatles were lucky as well as talented and who were in the right place at the right time.
Clem Alford ah, yes, a legend in her own mind! No musical ability whatsoever. Her singing is absolutely atrocious, as mentioned elsewhere in this comment thread. And she’s absolutely hideous to boot! Not just her looks, her personality is repulsive too.
Roger Penske said, "Luck is where preparation meets opportunity." The Beatles were as lucky as anyone in show business history. When their opportunity to make the Big Time came, it was after they had spent thousands of hours, individually and collectively, preparing for it.
Now, now, we don't know if she is talentless, maybe she gave John the best BJ he ever had!
Absolutely 100% spot on. Ther is nothing or no one anywhere near comparable on planet Earth ever!!!
Elvis was better
@@richardhillier1593 Oh yeah, especilly his song writing skills.
John Lennon never said Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in the Beatles, that was a comment by a gobshite radio presenter/comedian not worthy to tie Ringo's shoe laces. Ringo may not be a technician but you can tell every Beatles song by Ringo's drum track alone. He's one of the best - and that's an authentic Lennon quote.
I heard him say Ringo WAS the greatest drummer.
I heard him say Ringo WAS the greatest drummer.
The Beatles unlike other bands improved with each album
But Fab four with real Paul McCartney had more energy and happiness than "Billy Shears" with "Fab three".
I think that William's Sgt Pepper is greatly overrated.
Paul's "Revolver" album is better than Sgt Pepper.

This kind of doco is the reason why people hate rock music journalism. It starts dismally by sacrificing the musicians' individual efforts on the altar of their careers as a band; then goes downhill from there with a poorly-researched timeline, inaccurate claims, and tawdry innuendoes.
It's definitely several cuts below the major documentary done with the cooperation of the major players and support team.
Thanks g c Cf CB m
Well done video.
"John also insisted that Yoko be allowed artistic input into The Beatles recordings" IMHO, John could shag and/or marry whoever he wanted but The Beatles should have been insulated and secured from influences like her.
I agree
@@Dylanthestudent that's right blob darkass is mistaken about that part sorry blob
Especially since she had no real musical talent as was proven after the Beatles in her gigs.

Beatles Forever 😊
A lot of wrong information in this documentary, Help! came out on 1965 not '66, Ringo has 2 sons and a daughter not 3 sons, Beaucoups of Blues had 1 single not 2 singles.
@Dean Morrow: I think they referred to the movie, not the LP. The movie, "Help" would go through a number of edits to get the sequences working the way they should, and that would take quite a lot of time, while the album would come together over perhaps as much as a week's worth of sessions.
@@neilforbes416 as for australia the album came out in september and the movie around october 65 but that time the group were in their early stages making rubber soul that was released in australia february 1966
"Not only is he not the best drummer in the world, he's not the best drummer in the Beatles." During this whole documentary that's what stuck in my mind. According to Elio in this comments section, John never said that but he could have. We always thought of Ringo as a meat & potatoes drummer. He wasn't fancy but he was always right there with the beat. This was in the time of Keith Moon of the Who and a lot of other great drummers so people were comparing him.
I can hear him saying that… just like his sarcastic ass (egoMANIACal sarcastic ass)
And more than meat and potatoes, Ringo was Simple and extraordinarily Tasteful and Imaginative.
the beatles great group

Chapman was hypnotised because he repeated the actions of the previous day in meeting John Lennon at the Dakota entrance. The first day was a trial run.
byron elenica hypnotized by the CIA to assassinate Lennon!
The assassination was political, ordered by the Whitehouse.
Nixon was concerned about John's influence and his anti-war message.
Oh, so "howling" I's what that Yoko calls that awful screeching noise she always used to ruin John's music.

She's vile, manipulative, greedy, cruel....shall I go on?? Rotten to her core. I cannot find a single redeeming quality she possess.

Fascinating of all times
"Meeting Jimmy Saville in the back of a van"......at 16:32.
Not the best choice of words, Sir Paul?
if he'd had only known.
johnny dark Do you really think he didn't know? People in those circles knew. The world, even then, was not as ordinary people thought it to be... Unfortunately.
Realbillball He was being sarcastic.
lol!
I always wonder what Heather Mills devastating secret was/is. And I would much prefer it to be the PID theory be true than Paul or any of the others having something to do with the shit Saville was into . That would sure as hell devastate me!!

Thank you. Very, Well Done
1:20 This is about where you want to stop watching the video, unless you have a strong stomach.
I loved The art of the group.
Did you know that before john met yoko , he used to like pretty women..
Before drugs he was a human being.
Bullcrap......Not particularly an Ono fan meself ...but it's not about being "pretty" ....he saw something in her , just like the countless other weird couples walking this planet....where 90 % of marriages fail....so Saint John was human after all...and not much different from those other silly "pretty" couples.....
As they say, beauty's in the eye of the beholder.

After all is said and done , in the game of life , Ringo who was disparaged the most is looking hard toto beat at 80.
I'd really love to know what Lennon's take would be on the world at present.
He would be like how Roger waters is now ..on the news talking or arguing about the white house or the world's bullshit problems, putting on political concerts. That's how I see John today anyway....
Yes I would too!
Can this be good for music doc review?? I love the Beatles!!
Meeting Jimmy Saville, that aged well
Meet Jimmy before saying the Queen's name...wow
And apparently that was a highlight!!!! The guys was a Beatle and meeting that weirdo scumbag was a highlight!?!? Was he being sarcastic 🙄 🤔
Everyone met Seville then, he was everywhere and extremely popular.
Why, oh why, is it so difficult for documentaries to show images that actually match the chronology of recounted events?
George was not shy ffs he was just a humble normal bloke with an amazing talent
Ringo actually ended his notice to stop signing autographs by saying "Ive got blisters on my fingers !" Great documentary. Learned a few things I didnt know. Still cant get over how much Dahni looks like George. It's uncanny !

Ringo's 1973 eponymous LP (eponymous means self-titled), where he included "Photograph", "Back off, Boogaloo" and his remake of the old Johnny Burnette hit, "You're Sixteen" has been ignored in this doco.
Boogaloo was a single that wasn't part of that album. It did later become a bonus track on the Goodnight Vienna reissue.
@@worlds1ep3enthusiast92 Okay, I stand corrected on "Back Off Boogaloo" but it was Tr.5/Side A of *Blast From Your Past* Apple PCTC-7170, which I thought to be an Australia-only LP but seems to have turned up in Britain as PCS-7170 and in the lesser USA market as SW-3422 and in Germany as 1C 062-06 008. Perhaps initially it was meant as an Australia-Only issue but EMI's parent company in Britain thought enough of it to "spread the joy". The British issue was on 12th December, 1975 where as the Australian issue was about mid-year.

Yoko caught him on drugs...she sucks the air out of the Univesre
John's rickety personality structure, embittered by his father's abandonment, the loss of his beloved mother and temperament to nasty when it suited him, was no match to LSD and heroin. John must have been guarded by some Providential Grace while he used hard drugs, but it ruined his judgment. Evidently Providence was not on duty at the Dakota that night. He was cleaned up and on the right road to life but there were no highway signs that warned there was "Danger Ahead."
John Lennon could of used a manager in the 1970's to help keep his antics in order.
we hippies are so forgiving when other people get murdered and raped and we are so against prison and authority, but when it's one of us we don't want the murderer out, even after almost 40 years. And no, Yoko did not forgive Chapman, and yes she's still advising against his release. And in 13:05 they are actually threatening him when he does come free.
i remember all I heard in 1980 was double fantasy. Thats all my parents played.
John Lennon forever j love you.
Harrison is a British surname, Starkey, Lennon and McCartney are Irish surnames.p.s.Richard Starkey is Ringo Starr for those who didn’t know
