I could listen to Ringo telling old stories for hours

As a /beatles fan I think this is the best Ringo interview, ever he come across very well .

Such a great interview. Ringo has an admirable down-to-earth quality and makes you feel he is right there in the room with you.😍💚💙💗

A genuine, thoroughly likeable bloke.... very humble and down to earth

52 years with you Ringo. Thank you. Thank you so very much.

Cool guy, great interview. He sounds like such good fun.😺

Ringo, great person, great attitude, great musician, honest and straight forward.

When George is helping Ringo work out the chords for Octopus' Garden is one of my favorite moments in Let It Be film.

He was not flashy but his timing was allways perfect and hes a cool charismatic guy.

Marvellous Ringo!

A nice man. A talented man. A great addition to anyone's life.........now going on fifty-three years of being in mine. Peace Ringo!

Ringo is talented and has a highly unusual approach that makes him unique.

Ringo....nobody can crack a snare like him. And his kit is tuned perfectly and his timing is just phenomenal...NOBODY rocks out in 3/4 or 4/4 time like him....plus he has a great voice and slight vibrato....I could go on and on

He's a son of my city and the drummer of the greatest band ever.

Heart of the Beatles, heart of R&R - most versatile drummer ever

I had the opportunity to meet Ringo in Australia in 2013.. I will be forever grateful to him for taking the time to come, meet his fans..

Fantastic interview...some solid answers from Ringo

This is such a beautiful interview!! He took us trough his and Beatles' lifes so beautifly, Thanks so much for posting

So glad I got to see this, absolutely fascinating, Ringo tells the "stories" in a such an interesting way - e.g. without the ego getting in the way. And of course his contribution was special by way of his unique drumming and being as John said "the heart of the Beatles" Full credits to Dave Stewart for a superb presentation too!

Like MILLIONS of other 12 year olds, I became a drummer because of Ringo. And still drum to this date...like millions of others! Thank you RINGO for the inspiration and creativity.

The Roof Top "Concert" really was the Proof in the Pudding of how these 4 guys could come together and play as a unit...the early live shows must have been: "THEY WERE GREAT"!

"Gifted and talented" heart and soul of the Beatles!

Awesome! I love you Ringo!

Thanks for all the great music Ringo 😊

What a fantastic and interesting interview. Love you Ringo

Great Show...RINGO is the man...PEACE & LOVE

So many great stories and memories. Absolutely Heartwarming. Thanks for posting.

Wonderful !

Ringo never said a bad word about any of The Beatles as a band or as individuals. ..kind hearted loveable genuine nice guy ....perfect fit for John , Paul & george...still recording awesome albums too....

He´s so sweet.... it comes naturally or it doesn´t come

thank you Ringo, you make the wold a magical place!

This was so interesting and fun ! I grew up with the Beatles, fond memories. Thank you ! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸 Love You, too, Dave Stewart ! ❤

Ringo was always a very pleasant, and enjoyable interview.

Oh I love Ringo! Such a sweet soul, I am so glad to be alive during his time on earth. Thanks for posting this.

Best interview with Ringo I ever seen.. Dave did a great job also.

When you look at the Beatles from the outside it just seems impossible. But when you hear Ringo speak like this you realize how it could really happen. Still it defies all the odds. Four superstars just happened to grow up together at exactly the right time in musical history. It happened organically.

Ringo was a fantastic part of those Beatles recordings. I always say he played melodic drums because they were such 'tuneful' rhythmic patterns...he composed 'percussive 'tunes' like no other. The list is so long but Hello, Goodbye and She Said, She Said are two fantastic examples. He added immensely to great compositions.

A level headed grounded guy for all his fame and fortune. While he's a great drummer that's his greatest attribute.

He's great!

Great interview ! Ringo has great soul and feeling in his playing, I've been a Beatle fan for over 50 years now. Peace and Love to you Ringo.

A lovely and wonderful interview, two great guys conversing. Such talent! Thanks for uploading.

Love Ringo Star! Thank you for posting this.

Wow that final song was really something. It almost made me shed a tear. Very emotional and I think many can relate to it, be it Liverpool or some other town you grew up in.

Just came across this wonderful interview with Ringo and Dave Stewart Those were the days !! A wonderful time for music !

a real nice guy

I loved it..Ringo never let me down

Ringo was and is the best one of the fab four! I think the Beatles were the best band of my youth! I did like other bands but I think that I loved the Beatles the most.

Ringo will always be young, plus he's got a gentle soul, like the rest of the Beatles: may god reward their souls forever!

No no no no he don't smoke it no more, he's been off the floor a long time! A very real human being. Yes I do think he is and was the heart of the Beatles! What a springboard into many other things in his career. Methinks Ringo/Richard has found his cave and garden to raise his family in a quiet private cove. A daddy and grandaddy I supose. "Grandchildren on his knee"... Cheers to you grand drummer boy!

Ringo is a sincere Genius and a Legend! Thanks for uploading this

Wonderful artist!!!!

What a jolly, as well as insightful interview! Loved the part when he said "George wasn't always a guru, you know."

He's been such a kind man! Love his personality and loved him IN Hard Day's Night!,

Yes, indeed, very good interview. Always my favorite Beatle .. probably because of his quirky, often self effacing, sense of humor.

Hilarious memories of coming up with "back off boogaloo" & "octopuses garden", certainly the best Ringo interview ever, his honesty is what grips you, no hiding behind the typical rockstar persona.

Ringo is so funny I love the Scouser humour I grew up with it as my Dad was raised in Liverpool and all his family shared the same humour and some of them had that accent and they all supported Everton F.C.

I don't have a cable provider so I can't get HBO so THANK YOU KZfaq, HBO and DASDRUMS for making this GREAT INTERVIEW available. Not only is it the best interview I have witnesses from a formal Beatle as to the making of their musical careers, it is the testimony of a true musician and the over powering effect of sitting together and making harmony among one another. Thank you Ringo for sharing and thank you to Dave Stewart/HBO for a most enjoyable time. Now it's going to be a Sunday evening of revisiting Ringo and the Beatles. Peace and Love.

Take this Show, and mark it Fab!

Great interview. Loved how they touched on George introducing Ringo to the Maharishi...I always thought that Ringo had trouble with the food, wanted to go home, and did in fact leave after just two weeks. But Ringo was a family man with a new baby son...and, more to the point, he stated, "The Maharishi gave me my mantra. You can take my car, you can take my house, but the mantras mine."

What a magnificent interview!

The photo of Ringo dancing face to face with Elizabeth Taylor, their joyful giddy smiles, priceless!

OMG. What a great interview. Came for a couple of minutes just to check it out, stayed for the whole thing.

Now that was a great interview of a Beatle...

What a gem Growing up in english working class towns never leaves you and ringo hit the nail

Thanks for the upload - there were 4 genius musicians in the Beatles :)

I know why I like Ringo ( Richard) so much. He grew up poor, just like me and it kept us humble ,happy with the simple things in life, and thankful. Peace & Love, Ringo!

What a Great man! Thank you for Everything, Ringo! Best Regards from Norway.

Gah...I just adore Ringo. He's just a genuinely smart creative kind human being. One of the few people on earth that make reality worth it because they exist. I feel the same way about Bjork and a few others. Just those rare creative souls that make my soul smile. :)

Ringo is my favorite drummer of all time and he's a very likable gentle person. He's a good singer and overall musician. He's from my all time favorite band and he's from among the greatest bands in the world 🌎 The Beatles. I love listening 🎧 to his stories about his early life and his life with The Beatles. You're awesome as an all around great artist and you're also a great person. You deserve all of the respect and the accolades and you're loved by all that know you and love you and your music and the music of The Beatles.

This is great! I like how this is focused on the actual music (and not the gossip), and it's great to see Ringo demonstrate behind the kit mid-way through. I also enjoy hearing him talk about how some of his songs were written. The ideal rock drummer, imo.......

always loved the way he plays........nobody quite like him

Dave Stewart is a fantastic interviewer............I wonder if he still does shows like this..

he reminds me of Ronnie Woods when asked what it was like to be a Rolling Stone and he said he said he was only standing in for 20 years, but apparently he was in the band.

Wow, Best Ringo interview ever.,what a gem.

I remember back in 1978 when I was just 10 yrs old and some friends in my neighborhood started a small band and the hippie parents at the cul-de-sac on our street used to call me Ringo because I was the drummer. I didn't even know who he was at that time but once I found out, he was my main influence ever since. Ringo is amazing because he's the only drummer that I learned to not just play rhythm but to also play the beat for the melody of the song and especially for the singer. He may not be the flashiest drummer ever but he is the master of an almost melodic but steady pop groove. I also love the side to side swipe of the high hat like a paint brush strike he used as opposed to the standard strait down bang. It creates a totally different sound a feel to percussion. He's a complete original and all around great guy! Most importantly he taught me that less is actually more. He got more out of a 4 or 5 piece kit than anyone else on the planet. Lastly, if you believe the old rumors about the real Paul McCartney dying in 1966 then Ringo really is the last living Beatle!

i love watching rngo play the drums and answer interviews. in that order.

Dear Ringo, he is beautiful!! I REMEMBER IN 1963 OR 1964, ANYWAY THEY GOT ON ED SULLIVAN' YOU MADE IT IF YOU GOT ON HIS SHOW.! THE BEATLES. JUST SUPER! I CRIED MY EYES OUT. THE MUSIC WAS GREAT, AND I WAS IN LOVE WITH ALL FOUR!

Beautiful. Thank you

I love interviews with Ringo. I think he’s so down to earth and honest unlike Paul.

Cool guy!

Always my favorite Beatle. Great satirical and observational sense of humor.

Could listen all day

Ringo is so sharp and cool and funny and charming, really demonstrates heart of the Beatles like John said.

This was one hell of an interview. THANK YOU!!!

Ringo and George were so good one another

Very nice interview. Thanks so much for posting. Ringo always seems like just a down to earth guy. Rock on... Medicine Man... lol

great show, cheers all,,!!

Extraordinary guy. Always loved you.

Great stuff, this is a must see for any Beatles fan.

well we all love Ringo (I mean the good people do and even some of the bad ones do) Myself, in my locality in the uk ive been looking for a fantastic drummer for a long long time now who could do percussion in the same way George Harrison played guitar (That's a tall order), and ive met many fantastic drummers online, but they either do not know how to record themselves in a daw environment, and the ones that do still lack between the raw physical contact that is needed when people are jamming in the same room.(Thats where the magic happens)...Todays date as i write this comment is August 23rd 2023, go back about three months, Im moving out of my old house (That house has a massive musical connection going back in time) as i left that house for the last time and walked out of my front door i was immediacy faced with my old friend spence that id not seen since 2006 when we literally walked/collided into each other (Spence is an old analogue mixing engineer that ive known since 1987) Eventually after the euphoria he takes me to his lady friends house who lives about 12 doors away from me and introduces me to her (Alex) Alex is about 40 years old, partially autistic, Very esoteric, extremely spiritual, constantly looking for answers and has the humility of a child and the energy and passion of a lioness...August 22nd 2023..I ends up moving back into my old house that i spoke about at the start of this comment, so i bangs on alex's door tonight and says, hey im moving back into this street and something about i dont want to explain how that happened right now, A cup of English tea latter and her reading me several of her poems i noticed she had several hand drums in her enchanted living room, I asked, do you play them? she replied yes and grabbed one, then she fired up a backing track that had zero click track and played just one drum like one of the goddesses, I was completely blown away by what she played, it was almost as if she was suspending/freezing time (The gift) I asked her can she play a full drum kit? And her reply basically told me that, yes, and that it as much easier for her to play a full drum kit. Conclusion, she is an artist of the highest order, and im an artist too, she knows nothing about audio engineering and i know just a little and enough to work with her and capture something absolutely magical in the very near future, its the same Equation as the Beatles, inc ringo, its the unknown factor, but once in a lifetime all the right ingredients all fall into place at the right time, myself im now 60 years old, but im not going to let that put me off, Dr. Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin quite a few years after he had been put out to pasture by ones who considered him to be to old to add anything meaningful to life's equation, its the same with everything inc music. Hope everyone's doing great around here

We were 16 in the Midlands UK not far from Sheffjeld and Liverpool, just about to leave Hugh School and we lived live bands and the new music. Then along cane the Beatles with that sound and rhthyms that went in our ears and filled ur souls till we felt so alive, really alive!. Paul Mc Cartney ,uses the word magic 'magic' and it still is! Over the past couple of days I've focussed on KZfaq features on Ringo's drumming and re-listening to the music from a different anggle which has given a whole new dimension to my pleasure in Beatles music. Thank you Ringo, you have given me so much over the years, the glue between the words that made the music so strong. LOVE Eunice

Ringo Has A Big Heart With His Brother 's. ❤️.John Lennon, George Harrison

He's so lovely. I always loved him but I learned so much more about him here. One of the most "grown up" and humble musicians of his time. Highly underrated.

This year is 2024. I am Fredy & I have'nt met the members of the band "Censure Asylum" Yet. I got a good feeling.

R I N G O !!! ahh you are amazing ! Great interview DAVE ! and great playing as always .(Unabashed Eurythmics fan 4 life) So kind of you both to let us all into your world and friendship. Please both of you live happily ever after and thank you kindly for what you brought into my life. Namaste

It's a bit special seeing Ringo playing the pattern for ' A Day in the Life' (Sergeant Pepper). His giving us the background to it is a big bonus. It's worth listening to the original release, and where the Beatles are concerned there are many good reasons to own vinyl.

Best Ringo interview I've heard.

Thanks Dave 4 sharing

I can’t stop smiling

Absolutely loved hearing the story behind Octopus's Garden. Makes me love the song even more!
