“Turned ‘round, turned ‘round, turned ‘round, turned ‘round, turned ‘round, turned ‘round, turned ‘round, turned ‘round...”

I actually got something out of this interview. Which holds true for everything in life I guess If your to be good at anything Practice, Practice, Practice.

It's nice to see Pete Best in an interview without some shmuck badgering him with personal questions like "Durrhurrhurr, how did it feel when you got kicked out of the band?" or "Does it make you sad or angry how successful they got"? This interview is well-produced, well-spoken, it doesn't pry, and it is free of any cringe or embarrassment from what I can see

Pete is a cool dude ,,love to meet him ,he tells a great story,,and his part of the Beatles history is as important as any other

Pete "he turned around" Best

I totally enjoyed this interview, especially the ending where he talks about how good they got playing so many hours a night, wish I could of seen them when they came back to Liverpool with all that energy, Pete seems like a cool guy, and I think he got a raw deal, but bands dump people all the time, but it makes you wonder how the Beatles music would of developed if Pete was in the band the whole time, but with that said, I love Ringo, and can't imagine the Beatles career with anyone but him

Pete comes across as such a lovely bloke. Great interview and a huge undeniable part of the Beatles history

He definitely did a lot of turning around. It's amazing he didn't get dizzy!

Finally a respectable interviewer, asking questions that aren’t dopey. Pete had to endure a lot of disrespect over the years, by those who would have turned bitter and resentful. Lots of respect to you mate. Well done Pete. 🍺🍺

Tommy Moore died in 1981 of a brain hemorrhage at the age of 50 - he was the drummer in The Beatles prior to Pete Best

Great interview with a great guy. Great!

Pete says the long hours playing in Hamburg is what made such an improvement in the band. Ringo was also putting in the hours with Rory storm in Hamburg & Liverpool, so he must have gotten pretty good as well.

i turned round and watched this

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. At their Decca audition, Pete had so much power that the engineers didn't know how to record him. That’s why so many Merseyside discs are icky, all thin and weedy, because so few engineers knew how to do it. I was amazed when The Beatles replaced Pete. I even thought about learning guitar so he could be the drummer in my band. John, Paul and George 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.

PETE BEST WAS THE BEST AND HIS DRUMMING WAS GREAT... TO STAY WITH THE BEATLES FOR SO LONG.... I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW PETE BEST FELT WHEN HE WAS REPLACED BY RINGO... IT MUST OF PUT PETE IN A STATE OF SHOCK.... UNBELIEVABLE....🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁♥️

I love that question the interviewer asks Pete "would you have a jar together?" -- must be a Liverpool expression which i guess is like asking "would you go out for cocktails with them?"

From the 8:40 mark onwards is the answer, in part, why The Beatles became so great.

A beautiful, humble man with not a bad word to say about anyone. Great interview.

Must be hard living under the reputation of be the beatle that was kicked out ,

Life goes on !

Was this filmed on a ship during a storm?

NEVER COMPARE, BEEN IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS 55 YEARS NEVER COMPARED MYSELF TO NO ONE.

Happy 79.

All of them were crude. This is why people practice and mature and become well respected Musicians…

before i press play,i wonder how long it takes for him to say "turn(ed) around".. hahahahah

Everyone turns around and says.. this guy must have been dizzy with all his turning around

Be nice if whoever wrote the text on the bottom actually LISTENED . Not " work for Peace " , McCartney said " work for PETE " . There are tons of errors in these text translations .

bestie

It's all about bad luck(for Pete Best) and good luck (for the Beatles)because of Brian Epstein without him they(Beatles) would've went nowhere.

At least he doesn't put dye all over his head, face and neck like Ringo

turned round and said...

He looks like Ron Jeremy

A bit like HARRY. Will never be King ( like Ringo )….and still resents it…

PETE WAS ALWAYS AN OLD MAN, A BIT PATRONISING. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY HE DIDNT FIT IN.

He seems like a nice guy, but will he ever realise/admit he's not a very good drummer?

“By then (the first EMI session with George Martin) we were pretty sick of Pete Best because he was a lousy drummer. He never improved, you know? And there was always this myth being built up over the years that he was great, and Paul was jealous of him because he was pretty and all that crap. The reason he got in the group in the first place was because the only way we could get to Hamburg, we had to have a drummer. And we knew this guy who was living at his mother’s house, it had a club in it, and we just grabbed him, auditioned him, and he could keep one beat going for long enough, so we took him to Germany. But we were always gonna dump him when we could find a decent drummer.” - John Lennon

Pete didn’t show up for practice a lot of days, he chased too many skirts and didn’t take the band seriously.

He wasn't good enough in the end, end of. Ringo was/is a better drummer. Let it go man.
