You will never know how bands really work together unless you are a musician.
This group of George's was The Rebels, with his brother Peter.
What ive gathered by this interview is how modest pete is , never knew he came up with the name, he was the leader, and he attracted all the girls , 🤔
He didn’t come up with the name, Stuart did & Paul added silver .
@@thekitowl i know , i was messing, its the way he came across in the interview, 😉
@@stickyvicky100 😊
Don't believe all that you hear from him he is very angry he was dismissed by George Martin & Brian Epstein He has proven he was a poor drummer plus he left Paul, George & John without a drummer many a night so they ended up having a substitute named Ricard Starkey. That is how they realized he was better suited personality wise & better drummer than PETE
@@antoinettewitt2098 it’s still unsure how many times Ringo sat in for Pete. Ringo, Paul & George said a few times Pete says once. Ringo had already done a recording session with John,Paul & George , paid for by Rory in Hamburg some time before Ringo sat in for Pete. Plus the two bands were alternating at the same club, So they knew how good Ringo was. Your right, it is difficult to believe everything Pete says.
Never knew how cute Pete’s mom was
Well, his Mom had a baby boy out of wedlock with one of the Beatles Roadie. I believe it way Derek Taylor or Mel Evans.
@@antoinettewitt2098 She had a son after an affair with Neil Aspinall. Pete embraced their child as his brother and Pete and Neil remained friends. No controversy, it's called life. These things happen.
@@AnthonyMonaghan yes life happens.
... Why Neil Aspinall had an affair with her.
@@Allan-et5ig Is that a question?
If it was any other band he would just have faded into the fog of failed musicians. But it was not any other band. I feel sorry for him but Ringo by far, was the eventual right drummer. I hope he still makes a few bob off the back of the guys.
With the Anthology recordings being released, he came into a major windfall. He wants for nothing now. As to this interview, he's outright lying, or delusional, on all fronts. His Mom did their early bookings, not him.
@@RonG40 So true
@@RonG40 you are absolutely correct
I believe it was Stuart Sutcliffe and John Lennonwho came up with the name 'Beatles'.
How do you know? Pete’s claims were were never disputed by the Beatles in court, and Epstein the Beatles settled in his favor every time
@@aunch3 The lawsuits had nothing to do with the name Beatles as far as I know. I think it was to do with Ringo saying he was a better drummer. Everybody knows it was John and Stu who thought up the name Beatles. Pete was claiming he dropped the Silver from the group's name.
@@aunch3 You don't know the complete details what was settled. He lied in this interview more then once plus he has a grudge against the other 3.
If I got fired am not bringing my mom into it!
Wasn't up to Pete, the show booked both him and and his mom, as she had been the band's on and off de facto manager and booking agent for years. Heck, even a year before Pete joined the band, she gave The Beatles their first ever residency in her basement coffee club. It made all the sense in the world that she be there, you nitwit. smh
He is a real gentleman. He just did not have the qualifications of a Beatle. Also, unlike the Fab Four, who were southern Liverpudlians (even though Paul was born in Walton, which is north Liverpool, he was raised in Speke and Allerton, which are south Liverpool), Pete is northern Liverpudlian from West Derby.
What "qualifications"??? LOL The section of Liverpool they grew up in is irrelevant. smh
@@Cosmo-Kramer Haircut, and having a drumming style that would fit into the band's "sound".
@@finckel2682 Pete was never asked to don the moptop. Astrid Kircherr who inspired the others to get it -- which they did, but not all at the same time -- said that it wouldn't work on Pete because his hair was too thick and wavy. There's literally an audio recording of her saying this on RUclips.
As for Pete not being a good enough drummer, that's what they want you to believe, that Pete was a lousy drummer, as Lennon put it in one of his bipolar outbursts years later. Lousy, huh, John?? A drummer so lousy you kept him for TWO YEARS as The Beatles went from being the worst band in Liverpool before he joined, to being the best band in Liverpool (and Hamburg) right after Pete joined. LOL
You wanna know the truth about why Ringo Starr got Pete Best's job? It had nothing to do with drumming talent, it had everything to do with jealousy. Pete was a great drummer, and his "Atom Beat" defined the band's sound. He was also the best looking (by a mile) and most popular (by a mile) Beatle with the fans, club managers, and press, alike. But hey, don't take my word for it. Here's what a contemporary drummer of Pete's said when he was asked in an interview what he thought of Pete's drumming: *"He was a genius. You could sit Pete Best on a drum kit and ask him to play for 19 hours and he'd put his head down and do it. He'd drum like a dream with real style and stamina all night long, and that really was The Beatles' sound, forget the guitars. I was amazed when they replaced him. I even thought about learning guitar so he could be the drummer in my band. The Beatles didn't hate Pete Best, but they didn't want to be outshone by their drummer. Ringo was a good drummer but he was more ordinary."* -- Chris Curtis, drummer for The Searchers, a great Liverpool band who scored a 1964 Top 3 Hit in the US charts with their classic, "Love Potion # 9". Chris saw Pete Best play many times in both Hamburg and Liverpool during Pete's two years as The Beatles' drummer.

Lets just say that so much of what Pete says is slightly inaccurate.
Let's not.
Pete seem like a swell guy, buuut...he definitely wasn't Beatle material. In all his interviews he comes off as a very introvert, shy guy, which the rest of the band wasn't. Ringo on the other hand blended well with the band. He possessed the same charm and humor that the other 3 had. Could you imagine Pete playing in the Revolver LP? He wouldn't be able to keep up with the slowly evolving rock sound of the band. He couldn't even keep the beat for the early version of Love Me Do, what more with Rain or Paperback Writer??? Man......
Lennon was jealous of the attention Pete got from the girls. Shyness and introversion were also traits of George Harrison (zero personality) and not only zero personality but very average looks also. So Pete, in terms of personality, fit in at least as well as shy, no personality, average looking George. Yep, Lennon was jealous.
@@sl2608 Agreed. They were all jealous of Pete, who was far and away the most popular Beatle. Geoff Nugent, of The Undertakers, a contemporary Liverpool band said, *"After shows you'd see 2 or 3 girls around John, Paul and George, and you'd see 50 around Pete. Pete Best put The Beatles on the map."*
Lennon sounds just as boring in his later interviews to be honest
Hi i THINK this could be part of an 2 hour intervieuw from 1965, . An edit of this or something, lasting 1 hour, was released on a cd... but, do you have the full 2 hor intervieuw and can you share the whole, please? thank you.
The full interview is over three hours long, but I only have the 57 minute edit.
@@LuvIsSuchAGame Oh cool, where is the rest of the 57-minute edit that you have? I loved every second of this 11-minute clip, but I want to listen to the entire 57-minutes you have. Can you please leave a link here to it?!
@@Cosmo-Kramer ruclips.net/video/aJPGAf0-4Y8/видео.html I believe its this..
@@ajkaye5719 Thanks, aj. Turns out I have heard that 57-minute interview before, I just didn't realize this 11-minute segment was from it. But thanks for the link, as now I know. Happy New Year.
Now we know why they didn't want him. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Pete. You got paid for getting fired from a successful band that didn't need you. Can anyone imagine this guy in A HARD DAYS NIGHT? Or Help? They would have to rewrite the script in that one.
PETE BEST IS GREAT DRUMMER AND KICK ASS SOLID DRUMMER.... HE MADE THE BEATLES WITHOUT PETE THEY WOULD NEVER GO GERMANY.... PETE AND HIS MOTHER MADE THE BEATLES WITHOUT PETE THERE WOULD BE NO BEATLES.... PETE WAS THE BEATLE 💜💛🥁🥁🥁👍💕💛💜
@@wretch1 BULLSHIT AND WHO KNOWS THE TRUST... SO JUST LEAVE IT.... TO MANY SHIT TALK....
NO ONE SAID RINGO WAS A BAD DRUMMER.... HE WAS THE RIGHT STUDIO DRUMMER FOR THE OTHER 3..BEATLES...BUT WITHOUT PETE BEST HE WAS THE BEATLE HE MADE THE BEATLES WITHOUT PETE THEY WOULD NEVER GONE TO GERMANY...🥁🥁🥁
Come on!! Pete Best was a lame drummer and a big liar.
@@BeatlesCineYOtrosTemas SURE HE WAS🤣🤣🤣🤣🥁🥁🥁
@@wretch1 you hit the nail on the head. I agree with you 100% percent
Too standout good-looking for the rest of the band members' liking.. looks like ;-)
IF I WASN'T FOR PETE BEST .. THE OTHER 3 WOULD HAVE NEVER GONE TO GERMANY... AND THEY USED HIM FOR HIS SOLID KICK ASS DRUMMING... THE REAL BEATLE IS TRULY PETE BEST.... LOVE PETE BEST..💜💜💜🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🎤
@@lucyfaiella7220 True they needed a drummer to go to Germany. Pete was proven by many experts if you investigate the facts to be a VERY POOR DRUMMER. He also left the bots many a night without a drummer in Germany so they asked Richard Starkey to stand in. To the others surprise he kept up with them & their personalities messed together as well. Everyone has their opinion this is mine.
@@antoinettewitt2098 I HEARD PETE BEST GOT SICK ONE NIGHT AND THAT'S WHEN RINGO STAR STEP IN ... BUT I STILL THINK PETE BEST WASN'T A BAD DRUMMER AT ALL.. HE WAS IN A BAND WHEN THE 3 BEATLES ASKED HIM TO JOIN... AND THERE WAS OTHER DRUMMERS WHO DIDN'T WANT TO JOIN THE 3 BEATLES...
@@antoinettewitt2098 PETE BEST WAS A GREAT DRUMMER AND KICK ASS SOLID DRUMMER..AND THAT IS WHY PETE GOT HIRED... THERE WAS MANY OTHER DRUMMERS?? PETE BEST WAS FOR THE 3 BEATLES... BUT RINGO JUST FIT IN THE BEATLES. . BUT PETE BEST WAS 2 YEARS PLAYING WITH WITH OTHER MADE THE BEATLES WITHOUT PETE THERE WOULD NEVER GONE TO GERMANY 🥁🥁🥁🥁
@@antoinettewitt2098 SO TRUE
the name the silver beetles came from a drawing by john lennon of the insects the beetles who where silver in colour on a piece of paper just like young children draw pictures of dogs and cats .later it was changed to beat being for the beat of the music .it was johns idea
But it was Pete's idea to drop the "Silver".
When was this interview. ?
not exactly known but this was in the period when the pete best combo were recording in new york in 1965 and they toures in canada at the time, there is an hour around from one intervieuw in 1965 that lasted two hours and dont know jet if i heard this one before, coudnt compare at moment.
1965
JOHN LENNON WAS ....THE LEADER!....
Nice became a millionaire without trying to be good... a lucky guy!!!
PETE if you a founder,paul says on film he JOINEDthe beatles,...what you think of colin sutcliffe,or stuart sutcliffe chasing his dream of an artist where his most famous pieice of art,A tin of CAMBELLs SOUP,..silly billy eh pete,paul was tavistock ,you play with john Halliday n colin unwin as they were in silver beatles,this his claim hes no1 historian and was a member of silver beatles,hes also a fireman its a gleam machine,in his pocket is a postcard from the queen (MBE),Germanic royals ludwig,rickenbacker,etc,...are you claiming colin unwin is making it all up?
????????
I don't know what to believe now... 😡
Best was not evolving with the band it was more than just music they where wearing shags and dressed to a new style and Best was still sporting the leather jacket and greasy hair look the others did want to look like Elvis anymore .When the other 3 where smoking pot trying to expand their minds Best was still drinking ale and the occasional amphetamine.Bands evolve and Best was not changing or brought anything other than looks .Epstein and Martin needed a 4th character and Ringo was the comedian Best was very quiet and wouldnever of made it to the Sgt Pepper Era .Lennon was the only Beatle to once speak of Best around 67 claiming we all cowards how we handled that situation but bands have to evolve imagine today if we still where singing She loves you dressing the same way with same mind set fans would grow tired of us.
Your comment is riddled with falsehoods. Do your research before spouting off like an ignoramus.
@@Cosmo-Kramer Agree, thanks for pointing that out.
@Cosmo Kramer what points exactly are you referring to ..? As I see no problem with the statements ..
@@ajkaye5719 Sorry I'm seeing this so late. Let me list the falsehoods in his comment, there are many:
1) Pete did NOT continue wearing leather after the other 3 changed into suits, that's absurd. Brian had them all change into suits at the same time.
2) Pete couldn't wear the mop-top, and was never asked to do so. That's because Astrid, Stu's girlfriend who introduced them to the cut called the "Exi" (short for existentialist), told them that it wouldn't work on Pete because his hair was too thick and wavy. She's on RUclips saying this exact thing.
3) NONE of The Beatles had ever tried marijuana until they were introduced to it by Bob Dylan, years after Pete was gone from the band. Also, Pete NEVER did amphetamines or any other drugs. He was a heavy drinker/partier, just like his Beatle bandmates.
4) Pete brought a helluva lot more to the band than his looks. He invented *The Atom Beat,* which revolutionized rock drumming, and had every drummer in Hamburg and Liverpool, including Ringo, trying to copy it.
5) The Beatles would've been just as huge with Pete, and even though he played the role of the strong & silent, brooding Brando or Dean type, he could turn on the charm and be super animated whenever he wanted, like when he sang lead vocals on the half dozen or so Beatles cover songs they regularly did back then which required dancing. Pete was the only Beatle who could dance, and so Paul would drum while Pete sang lead and gyrated with the mic stand. There are even photos online of this.
Pete was sacked for the sole reason that John, Paul and George were jealous of his leading man looks, and his status as the far and away most popular Beatle with the fans, club managers, and press, alike. The decision had nothing to do with his drumming, Pete was a great drummer! Here's what a contemporary drummer of Pete's said when he was asked in an interview what he thought of Pete's drumming: *"He was a genius. You could sit Pete Best on a drum kit and ask him to play for 19 hours and he'd put his head down and do it. He'd drum like a dream with real style and stamina all night long, and that really was The Beatles' sound, forget the guitars. I was amazed when they replaced him.

Flat out lies!! Pete Best is the worst human being in the business show ever!!
👍Many inaccuracies in this . He’s forgotten that in the time leading up to the club’s opening, Mona had George, Paul & John painting the club. It wasn’t the last minute couple of hours thing Pete makes out.
LIAR!!!!!
What a load of grade A bull crap.
It’s possible he managed the logistics, none of the other Beatles cared about stuff like that. He could also have suggested dropping the “silver”. He did sue them over these issues a few times, and the Beatles never disputed his claims and always settled in his favor. That being said, he was a bad drummer and didn’t fit in a the others, so they kicked him out
Absolutely
Well obviously you know because you was there..
