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

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.

If Pete was good at playing drums back then, how many local BANDS in Liverpool sought after his talent immediately after Pete's sacking?
@Cosmo-Kramer Жыл бұрын
@@abjoseck9548 A lot did. And after the initial shock wore off, Pete joined Lee Curtis & The All Stars. Soon the band became Pete Best & The All Stars. Pete had his own band until he quit the biz in 1968, lasting nearly as long as The Beatles did (albeit, not even remotely close to their level of success).

Pity this when he the bus of fame left without him. Reason was he was mediocre drummer which was known to the three lads. It only exceverated when they start recording and the recorder notice this. Then as John said they were looking for a better in which they did on the perso called Ringo then suddenly fame blast-out and history made it. Anyway he was still blessed he earned monies easily on the baeatles anthology, not bad for a mediocre performance.

“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
@thekitowl3 жыл бұрын
Brilliant quote, it also echoed George Harrison’s view on the matter . Tony Sheridan who was with them in Hamburg agree’s Pete was a lousy drummer.
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.

Bad luck? Pete got married and made a stable family with no drama and then got millions for his songs. The rest of the Beatles ran into financial issues of some kind, three had fidelity issues, and two of them ended up dead before 60. Even Paul didn't get to keep Linda [RIP to her btw] So, who's really got the bad luck then?
@theblytonian3906 Жыл бұрын
There was definite probability in that, but that said, it's one of those "what if's" of history. In every success story, although many will deny it with ego claiming it was all them -the "hard work" myth easily disproven as a logical fallacy. Plenty have put in the work AND have talent, but failed to gain momentum or enjoy the phenomenal success or longevity of The Beatles.
