The Beatles

Arf. Id take the bottle off you, tell you to SIT DOON then put the pogues on and drink your bottle! Thwarted

 

That is a rare find! Kudos! That said, it doesn't mean it contradicts what I said. Sure, hippies knew most of these bands, but the rest of us have no clue who this long haired bearded musicians were.

 

The Bottle contains ketamine... now you're passed out and I WIN!

 

Neighhhhhhhh!!!!!!

 

The Beatles are awesome.

 

Lennon or McCartney?

 

McCartney

 

Anything good the Beatles ever did was completely negated by Revolution #9.


Not a huge fan, some stuff I like. I appreciate their influence in the music industry. A lot of their catalogue is filler.

With the exception of Ringo they all came off as pompous douchebags.

Slice im gonna blow up your school!

 

Ha! Paul was easily the best musician in the Beatles.

 

what about as songwriter?

 

Ringo is probably the biggest douchebag of all the Beatles

 

He wrote "Hey Jude", which people will probably be singing and whistling while foraging in some dystopian wasteland 600 years from now

 

Led Zeppelin take the crown of douchbaggery back then and now.

 

McCartney: better musician, more ´artsy´/adventurous, dominant from 1966-69, less of a cunt, didn´t marry a weird Tojo.....list is endless...

 

How so? He always just came off as someone who knew he was a mediocre drummer and singer but was happy just to be along for the ride.

is Ringo's drumming really blatantly mediocre though? what is missing?
i know he had most of it written for him, but as long as he pulled it off and it worked then what's wrong

i do wish they kept Octopuses Garden away from Abbey Road though

 

I love Ringo's drumming. A very good, competent drummer, IMO.

 

How many people though, listen to songs by The Beatles and go:
´Oh, those backwards fills dont sound too hot´ or ´the groove in "Let it Be" is slightly off´ or ´hmmmm....his syncopated beat is a bit sloppy, too´ ???

 

He did things differently, or it sounded different, because he's a leftie drummer and plays on a right handed kit. I never felt like he was a sloppy drummer, though, compared to say Moon. Moon gave the impression that he was sloppy, and he pretty much was, but his style was just wild. I have always preferred Ringo's style of play to Moon's.

 

He's a grumpy asshole, for real

 

Rings got the job done ... not a top drummer by any stretch but those songs didn't need Dave Weckl, just competence and good taste

 

What do you base that on? Are there any stories of him acting like a grumpy ass?


TFK

 

He basically has been for a long time.

 

Tons of stories out there

 

Ringo had the best cameo on the Simpsons though

 

Love the Beatles.
