Great to see Pete Best in such good shape. Absolute legend!
Pete is a great drummer and a wonderfull person. I met him 4 times after the gig and will see him again soon
Underrated guy. About time he got back in the spotlight. A Beatle.
He's got a good memory
I can't remember hat I had for lunch yesterday.
Pete Best Is part of history.
This always has been one uncomfortable thing to think about, I was not there. I feel bad for Pete and it must have been very hard to watch the Beatles skyrocket to fame. But in my memory there was always Ringo and the Beatles were not the Beatles without him.I hope Pete went on to have a great life.
Pete has done really well from the early Beatles compilations that have come out. He worked for the postal service for a long time, but retired quite wealthy from the Beatle albums.
Glad Pete got a big pay day and more recognition after Anthology. Top chap.
LOVE PETE BEST GREAT DRUMMER.. HE WAS THE BEATLES 🥁🥁🥁💗❤💚💙🥁.. IF IT WASN'T FOR PETE THEY WOULD NOT GONE TO GERMANY.... ...THANK YOU PETE💗❤💚💙🥁
Bless him, Pete's eyes water up as he talks of his mum Mona Best. I would like to meet him some day.
I MET PETE AT THE 1992 BEATLES CONVENTION (AFTER SEEING HIS BAND PERFORM) WHO WERE VERY GOOD. HAVE A PHOTO TAKEN WITH HIM(WHICH I PUT HIS AUTOGRAPH WITH) WAS A REALLY NICE GUY HAVE ALWAYS FELT THE WAY THE OTHER 3 GETTING BRIAN EPSTEIN TO SACK HIM WAS A VERY IN SENSITIVE. GOOD TO SEE HE,'S MAKING MUSIC AGAIN.
I think your caps lock is stuck on.
@lucy bond Agreed.Other Beatles were not true Friends .
He us a greaiverpool gentleman, and ids definitely part of beatles history. Love to him and Ringo too
Pete Best is one of the 3 surviving former Beatles.
And that cannot be revised. Pete is a gentleman.
Could be more if you count Chas Newby and Jimmy Nicol
amazing he has such a upbeat personality, after being sacked on the eve of Beatlemania,
one of the saddest stories in rock & roll
He bounced back. Got married, had a family, steady civil service job. Back to drunming in 1988.Good steady living as an ex Beatles since. Massive payday in 1995 with the anthology. This all round good guy got what was long overdue.
I met Pete in Austin, Texas in 2008. He and his daughter were there after he played and were selling sticks, posters ect. BUT the most interesting story of all is Jimmy Nicol who was a Beatle when they were at their height when he played for 12 dates while Ringo was in the hospital.
austin teutsch Jimmy’s son worked on the anthology.
You can def argue the case that the beatles cost two of its members their life..George never was right after he was attacked according to his son, and we all know about John. I bet sometimes he thinks he had a lucky escape...he has still done okay for himself. top man.
Couldn't agree more with Mike Pals comment! The man is a legend. Young people should pay attention and get him back to where he once and still belongs. A Beatle.
He should've had a glass of water before this interview.
Nice man
Hey Pete, not the best keep on practicing some day you also will be in a great band all my love, Ringo Starr!
So good
Iv been to Peter house many years ago and I met Mona
8:17, In1960 The Beatles change from The Silver Beatles, two years after quarrymen!
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.
He would never have cut it with them the way Ringo did.... He was a mommas boy and I suspect Lennon and Macca hated that. He did alright for himself so end of story ..
Yh glad they cut him in for the anthology, he does deserve his place in The Beatles story, I think Macca and Ringo should meet with him to bury the hatchet before it's too late! So much water has gone under the bridge now....it's gone 60 years FGS!!!
Colin Powell - Entertainer plenty of musicians left bands before they had success. Most of them admit their leaving was a positive step for the band. Pete is no different except he refuses to believe Ringo was a better drummer & still says he doesn’t know why he was let go.
He sure did a lot of interviews over the years. And he will never really get over it. But he doesn't seem like he would really have been a fit with the Beatles.
So Pete only got his first drum kit in 1959?
There was a rumour that's Pete mum wanted to manage him separately which was the final straw, personally if I was Pete I would hate to be trotted out every couple of years for nearly 60 of them just to talk about what happened...
Wasn't he Neil Aspen's half brother
Aspinall, and no. Neil had fathered a child with Pete's mum.
Why didn't the Who get him when Keith Moon died? Or Led Zeppelin when John Bonham died? Pete's a legend in his own mind.
Exactly,why? Coz he's a shit drummer with no persona.dull as dishwater
pete do you wanna join the new beatles !!!
No Neil had a son with peters mother
You were in the Beatles before they were cool.
he was in the silver beatles
Tragic figure w/ nice jewellry..
Sometimes he sounds like Macca;)
Sorry seriously. . Had he remained the beatles drummer they would not have had that great feel ringo have them. Not to mention his lack of personality back then. Nope he's not a Beatle
NICK LONGFORD yeah that about sums it up. Pete’s Atom beat was adequate for Rock & Roll but not for the original music that was to follow.
StevieEthereal 66 pete’s playing has evolved over the years & he’s still average. He wasn’t one of them & didn’t even make an effort to be a Beatle . Had he been more social , changed his hairstyle & improved his drumming while he was with the band , the decision to replace him
Would not have cropped up. What future Beatles masterpiece’s would have sounded like with Pete playing is up for debate. Just thankful those
Songs sound as brilliant as they do.

Good personality , engaging , cool, but not the talent of Ringo
