George was a great composer, and an average musician. It is much, much harder to compose good music than to be a great musician. The great musicians/composers would be like Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Eric Clapton and so on, in Rock, Pop music.
@@casyatbat: Santana´s a fukin´ hack and George´s guitar work and innovations that were applied to Beatle´s material was nothing short of genius. And, yes, he was a great musician.
Ringo is right, George Harrison was one on the greatest technical guitarists in history, I have been studying his guitar expertise for decades and I'm still fascinated by his mastery.
He wasn't "gifted" like John and Paul but he worked very hard and had a good ear. It probably bugged him that Paul played some of the best leads on Beatles songs including his own Taxman but George and Ringo knew their roles. 🍏🎶
I think he was the least popular. I'd say 40 percent paul, 30 john, 20 George and 10 Ringo is a good estimate. All the girls loved paul and many loved john but he was married. George was quiet and ringo in the back, got less attention
Unfortunately, knighthood is not bestowed by the British Crown posthumously ... so George, having passed away in late 2001 and never having been knighted while alive -- is not eligible for being knighted now.
It cracks me up that Ringo's brother-in-law is Joe Walsh! But obviously Ringo and the sisters were good for him and got Joe straightened out. Glad to have both of them still around and performing!
I've always loved George's vocals. How he sang in the early Beatle days with that strong Liverpool accent always gets me! Do You Want To Know A Secret, that's my favorite song song by George. As For Ringo, I've always loved that back beat from the early days as well. The simple 8th note high hat and that boomy stomp on the kick. Ringo has this kick on the bass drum that nobody quite has.
Same here. It’s a shame that he wasn’t allowed to sing as many Beatles songs like John and Paul. Same for Ringo also. My favorite song with George with the Beatles Hass to be I need you, do you want to know a secret, something, and savoy truffle. From her solo work, of course I love my sweet lord, give me love, Bangladesh, if not for you, and when we was Fab.
yesss that song is a great example of the scouse accent. Also the line "think for yourself cause I won't be there with you". That "there" is pure Liverpool.
Glad to hear that God is in Ringo's life and that it has had a powerful positive effect. I had a chance to meet Ringo back in the early 1980s at the recording studio I was recording my songs at and it would have just been me and Ringo and a few other people but I was too shy nervous.
@@gleanerman2195 Ive been on both sides now....was an atheist, now a follower of Jesus. Far happier, content, less self-centered and loving, as a Christian. If that's the effect of belief in God, why would you want anyone to 'wake up' from it?
@8chk9 Don't you think it a bit presumptuous for you to speculate about my reasoning for anything? So what's your grand 'reason' for rejecting God? Because you can't see Him? Because you've met a few people who say they believe in God, but act otherwise? Or possibly, the most common - you really do believe there's a God, but believe He's mistreated you and are angry with Him, hence your denying His existence?
George guitar solo's were mini compositions within the song. He soloed with a composers ear. He wasn't a go off soloist with a bunch of wowing technique but try and play my sweet lord without George's slide genius part on it.Or something without his beautiful melodic solo or Here Comes The sun without that middle acoustic section .Or the solo he played on let it be (not the Leslie one).or his solos on The End, till there was you,Octopus Garden.And his standard setting slide work after the Beatles.
As a kid I was pretty smug , thought I was doing everything on my own. I look back and I see all these people who were there for me starting with my parents. Now I see my life was guided and yes I do believe in God and I understand Ringo saying you change and Life gives you an eye opening experiences.
Just watched this short video, and read your comment. I am blessed you can see how God has you in His heart. I'm 69 and found God in my thirties. I pray that over time you have a wonderful deep relationship with Jesus. The Beatles gave so much pleasure, and I was delighted to hear that before his death George gave his life to the Lord after all his searching. Our Creator is so amazing, so patient, waiting for His children to come, the most important thing is realising He does it in His timing. Blessings.
I was the same way I actually just came to Christ, September 17th. I used to stress over many things and many times I got close to ending it all, then I started college and joined a Christian organization that welcomed in nonbelievers and did fun activities and I knew since my first meeting this was place for me and the second worship night was the first time I really started to believe in God because I felt His presence and heard Him speak. I was an agnostic for many years, I knew something was out there but I didn’t think it was God, but feeling His presence and hearing Him speak proved to me that it was God that I was searching for. Then three weeks later I was saved after having many people speak to me about it and hearing God tell me to basically surrender to Jesus. I am now a lot more calm and I have a better heart than I did, Easter Sunday I will be reaching 7 months in my walk with Christ. I was 17 when I was saved. It makes me really happy to see Ringo and George as Christ followers and I’m hoping both are saved. I also heard that John in his last 3 years of life started to also investigate God so there’s a possibility he is also saved. I pray every night that Paul McCartney will come to Christ eventually.
Ringo is so underrated - mostly by non-drummers. But what a nice, loving, positive guy. A great role model for today’s young people. And speaking as a drummer for over 50 years, he is a fantastic drummer.
Ringo is and always has been rated by drummers that understand drumming, he is great at being the group drummer not a soloist , his drumming adds to every single song he plays on.
I'm no expert on the matter but will say I've never once heard a song he played on and thought, "Oops! Ringo kinda messed up there!" Listen to "A Day in the Life" and ask yourself if his drumming is flat-out awesome! (It is.)
I love to see Ringo talk about George, as a friend, as a musician, as a guitarist- he's very appreciative of even the small details and comfortably outspoken about it. Kind of attention and appreciation George absolutely deserves and always craved for, especially when he was in The Beatles. I just adore their bond, the youngest and oldest, connected so deep.
Anyone over 50 looks older than Ringo as he approaches being 80... It's bloody amazin' -- and God bless him... I hope he makes it to 90 - or 100... and Paul as well. These guys are a part of my life and have been since I was fifteen... I can never say enough about The Beatles or their influence on me and my life... I'm just an average old man of 71 (today, as a matter of fact)... but I feel so blessed to have been growing up an' coming of age when The Beatles ruled the global music scene... There's never been anything like them before or since, and their era coincided with my teen years... ... 'how amazing is that? It's my jolly good fortune and I will always feel blessed by it... It was a great time -- perhaps THE greatest time -- to be alive and to be young.
Charlie Brown that is so cool that you were the “right” age to fully absorb and appreciate the Beatles. I was only 6 in 1964 and was not fully conscious of the phenomenon that was the Beatles until a few years later. At the time, I sang along with all the hits, but knew nothing of their influence on culture. I do remember the Beatles cartoon on TV and loved it, which now I figure must have been aimed toward making fans out of the slightly younger ones like me. When I got to be about 12 or 13, about the time of their breakup, I started to feel like I missed out, and tried to catch up. I was (still am) NUTS about them and read everything I could get my hands on, as well as collecting all the albums. They are without a doubt geniuses and remain at the top of the rock pile. They are like the standard I compare others to. Speaking of standards, name another group or songwriter who has written what I call STANDARDS since that time. Songs like Michelle and Yesterday, If I Fell, In My Life. Songs for the ages.
@@marathonfortruth4768 hahaha I don't think you both realize how lucky you are. I am only 16 and can only experience the aftermath of the most influential band of all time.

I really enjoyed the Beatles and Ringo was my favorite, inspired me to be a musician. I'm glad he's admitting God is in his life, I'm assuming he means he is saved. Keep rocking friends and neighbors ✌️ 🤘🎸 Neighbor Gary ⚡⚡
...and I was dismayed to hear Ringo say that God was in his life. I only hope I don't hear him talk about a "relationship with God" and certainly not with Jesus. If RIngo had started believing in imaginary friends then I would fear for his sanity.
@@unrulyjulie4382 that is true, and my point exactly. Hope it's not a misunderstanding of God on his part and truly a real relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Every one of the Beatles were great. I saw them Live on their second stop of their first USA tour in the smallest venue they played. Ringo contributed so much to their sound, way more than just a drummer he was/is a creator of music on his instrument. In my opinion Ringo is up there withe the greatest drummers who ever. played.
I remember Ringo saying to reporters who covered the Beatles in 1964 at a press conference when asked why he wore so many rings on his fingers. "I can't fit them all through me nose"...……...Who can't love someone like that?
I feel very sad, when I see Paul on stage alone, without his true friend John, and when I see Ringo alone, without his true friend George...( It's an injustice and a real sorrow for me
wms72 He said it was a drag because he was still in a state of shock, not because he was trying to be cold or sarcastic. Just think of how you’d react if someone shoved a microphone in your face right after you just learned that one of your best mates had been brutally murdered. I doubt that you would know exactly what to say in that moment when you haven’t even had time to process the fact that this insane act has occurred.
Nat There is nothing wrong with caring about people who had a profound effect on your life even if they don’t know who you are. It doesn’t mean that your life is uneventful or that you don’t care about the world around you either. Stop making assumptions about people that you don’t even know. You’re guilty of precisely what you criticized him for.
*John always said "It was never 'Me' or 'John & Paul' ...it was the four of us that made the Beatles the 'Beatles'...without Ringo the tunes weren't as good...as soon as we got him in everything just fell into place like with "She Loves You" he put everything in where it needed to be, just a simple 'bumpty-bumpty-bump' to lead us in and we're alright"*
live to create to live Maybe you should. There’s nothing wrong with that even if you’re a heterosexual male. Love is a beautiful thing and if you feel it then you should tell them. They may not always be around and you may regret that you never told them while they’re still here to appreciate it.
@messiahjesusbible dot com spoken like like a true Christian. Threats, hatred,insults, judgemental. Thanks for reaffirming my belief that people like you are nuts. The link you provided is a joke. Keep you're head where it belongs. Up you're ass.
George was the one who wanted Ringo in the band all along. When Pete Best would sit out from a gig, he would find Ringo(when he wasnt performing with Rory Storm) and he would sit in.
All those who flippantly say this and that about Georges' guitar playing seem to forget something important. And that is that the very, VERY first time John Lennon heard George play the guitar (which was at the invitation of Paul) was on the upstairs deck on a bus in Liverpool. He played a a few bars and then went into what Paul described as an amazing rendition of all those twangy ' guitar solos everyone else wanted to play but couldn't! After a couple of minutes John asked George if he wanted to join his band! Lol. ✌ And Btw. As every Beatle fan will tell you, , it was the three of them who asked Ringo to join Them and who was doing very well at the time thank you very much and getting paid playing with Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.
@@streaming1950 Yea!! It was, and many many thanks for reminding me! It was driving me crazy trying to remember it and I could actually hear P.McCartney voicing it and air playing it to the interviewer when telling the story! My weekend has started on a good note. I Doff my cap to you sir/madam. As Ringo consistently still says...peace and love to you. Have a good weekend. ✌🎸from Ayrshire Scotland.
One fo the thigns that made hte Beatles great was th lack of stand-alone solos. Most bands play like 4 (or 5, or whatever) people playing vaguely related parts, with guitar solos that seem to have little to do with the song. Beatles solos are composed as parts of the songs, like classical music. Not sure if I'm explaining this well, I hope you understand.
Garry not Linda. There's a lot of talk here about George being underrated. I don't know by who because the top guitarists in the world were in awe of his work. I think it was in a UA-cam video on the Traveling Wilbury's they talked about his study of the sitar. That I never cared for the instrument means nothing. What does matter is that several people in the video and may have been touched on in a Musicians Hall of Fame interview with Steve Lukather or someone was George's precision as a player. They attributed it to his work and mastery of the sitar and coupled that with his sense of compositional intuition that blew them all away. No fluff every note related to the melody at hand. No long winded epic solos. Straight to the point playing relevant leads and fills. As George said in an interview about Ringo one time, "I don't have to tell Ringo what to play, I just look at him and he knows just what to do." He said he might ask him to do a little fill or something here or there but that they were almost always right on the same wavelength. Ringo never believed in drum solos. No long assed bore you to tears, tiresome drum solo. The world needs more like him. Enough said.
Interviewer: I didn't realize you took it (photo) R: (without missing a step) Why? Who would take it? it's in me book. Ringo, master of the rhetorical question.
Great story about Ringo. Ringo wrote a song and took it to Paul in the next room. He said "Paul waddya think of this". Paul said hang on Ringo, I'm just finishing up this song. Let me play it for you. Paul sings, "Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away, now it looks as though they're here to stay, oh I believe"..... And so on till he gets to the end of the song. Then Paul says, ok Ringo what was it you wanted to say? Ringo said, err, it's ok, Paul its not important.
Hes considered one of the worlds greatest drummers, also by other leading drummers, and was an integral part of the band and the Beatles sound. The other three absolutely worshipped him. Ringo was a successful pro musician before the beatles - they desperately wanted him in the band. In what way was he underrated? By whom?
Glad to hear Ringo has God in his life and not Hare Krishna. I always had a problem with George calling Krishna, my sweet Lord. Hope they both found Jesus because he’s the way to God!
Good old Ringo, a sweet soul.
We love you Ringo. .. God bless you! Beatles the best band in the universe.
Across the universe.
@@IMCcanTWEESTED Nice reference! 😂

George was the unsung genius of the Beatles. RIP great musician.
I am sure he sang something.
They were ALL bleedin' geniuses. Especially Ringo. He seemingly managed to avoid the emotional mine field laid by Paul, John, and Yoko and end up looking young enough to be in his 50s instead of his 70s.

Ringo is right, George Harrison was one on the greatest technical guitarists in history, I have been studying his guitar expertise for decades and I'm still fascinated by his mastery.
boleplissken I love George but he was not on par with Lennon and McCartney
@Gar Goil - And Eric Clapton had a lot to do with that, according to George.

@Dirk Diggler How did you conclude He doesn't exist? That's incredibly foolish
I love the way Ringo is so forgiving of George. God bless them! +
George was an inspiration to millions over looked by some jealous by others loved by me true genius
I really enjoyed the Beatles and Ringo was my favorite, inspired me to be a musician. I'm glad he's admitting God is in his life, I'm assuming he means he is saved.
Keep rocking friends and neighbors ✌️ 🤘🎸

Glad to hear Sir Ringo publically acknowledge God. I would love to know more about his relationship with God and hopefully The Christ Jesus.
There is no relationship with God without Jesus!
...and I was dismayed to hear Ringo say that God was in his life. I only hope I don't hear him talk about a "relationship with God" and certainly not with Jesus. If RIngo had started believing in imaginary friends then I would fear for his sanity.
@@unrulyjulie4382 that is true, and my point exactly. Hope it's not a misunderstanding of God on his part and truly a real relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
@@urasam2 hope someday you find the Truth.
D Lago There is only God in absolute truth
Every one of the Beatles were great. I saw them Live on their second stop of their first USA tour in the smallest venue they played. Ringo contributed so much to their sound, way more than just a drummer he was/is a creator of music on his instrument. In my opinion Ringo is up there withe the greatest drummers who ever. played.
I couldn't agree more🥁🥁❤
The coolest thing about that interview was Ringo describing George’s solos as part of the song.
George, was the melody in every hook.
What a nice man.
I have always wished that Ringo was my grandfather just so we could chat.
@@kathrinklein353 😆😆😆😆
Just twenty years old Jorge played his guitar for, “And there was you”, his solo was perfection. Jorge and Ringo were my favorites.
I just think of the descending little riff/scale leading into the verses of 'Help!'. Just brilliant.
I remember Ringo saying to reporters who covered the Beatles in 1964 at a press conference when asked why he wore so many rings on his fingers. "I can't fit them all through me nose"...……...Who can't love someone like that?
I feel very sad, when I see Paul on stage alone, without his true friend John, and when I see Ringo alone, without his true friend George...( It's an injustice and a real sorrow for me
When John ws murdered "Paul" coldly said, "It's a drag." Almost sarcastically. Not PJM
@@wms72 false
wms72 He said it was a drag because he was still in a state of shock, not because he was trying to be cold or sarcastic. Just think of how you’d react if someone shoved a microphone in your face right after you just learned that one of your best mates had been brutally murdered. I doubt that you would know exactly what to say in that moment when you haven’t even had time to process the fact that this insane act has occurred.
wms72 Btw - It’s JPM, not PJM.
Nat There is nothing wrong with caring about people who had a profound effect on your life even if they don’t know who you are. It doesn’t mean that your life is uneventful or that you don’t care about the world around you either. Stop making assumptions about people that you don’t even know. You’re guilty of precisely what you criticized him for.
Such a generous and honest Spirit ❤
Two of the best one guitar and drums❤️❤️
*John always said "It was never 'Me' or 'John & Paul' ...it was the four of us that made the
Beatles the 'Beatles'...without Ringo the tunes weren't as good...as soon as we got him in
everything just fell into place like with "She Loves You" he put everything in where it needed
to be, just a simple 'bumpty-bumpty-bump' to lead us in and we're alright"*

I'm so happy to hear that Ringo has accepted God. Wonderful!
@@8chk92 Because humans are animals nothing more.
He used to play in a band that was bigger than God.
@@8chk92 You are a polytheist, not an atheist.
@@vangroover1903 No, you have him confused with Barrington Womble of the Rutles.
@@1godonlyone119 Ahhh, right. That happens
I love you Ringo ! And that’s coming from a guy that never tell other guys he loves them !
live to create to live Maybe you should. There’s nothing wrong with that even if you’re a heterosexual male. Love is a beautiful thing and if you feel it then you should tell them. They may not always be around and you may regret that you never told them while they’re still here to appreciate it.
MsAppassionata Yes that’s true thank you
Ringo tells the best Beatles stories
I love how David Lynch is just here for seemingly no reason lol
A great interview and I’m loving ringos photography a great picture thanks for this I do enjoy listening to the history and what ringos up to now 🙏
Ringo
God loves you and so do i.
Hammer
Ahh i loveee you sooo much ringo
Best man alive 2022 seriously Peace n Love
I do think George wrote most of Ringo’s best songs, or at the least, made them better.
Great always to see Richard doing what he always love doing! Etc.
....with David Lynch and Henry Diltz,
Im like "ooh Ringo!, Wait David Lynch?!" lol
You rock Ringo....God is great
@messiahjesusbible dot com spoken like like a true Christian. Threats, hatred,insults, judgemental. Thanks for reaffirming my belief that people like you are nuts. The link you provided is a joke. Keep you're head where it belongs. Up you're ass.
You rock ringo ... god is fake
Religion is for the weak minded and vulnerable of society
messiahjesusbible dot com wow what a horrible little man you are
Ringo still looks good..young for his age
The Fab Four, all of you...fabulous God Bless You Ringo
Peace + Love=God
We love Ringo and Beatles!
George was the one who wanted Ringo in the band all along. When Pete Best would sit out from a gig, he would find Ringo(when he wasnt performing with Rory Storm) and he would sit in.
Incorrect. John and Paul thought Pete Best was too much of a pretty boy, so they recruited Ringo.
I am glad to hear that God is in his life now.
Yes, but I doubt he worships Jesus
All those who flippantly say this and that about Georges' guitar playing seem to forget something important. And that is that the very, VERY first time John Lennon heard George play the guitar (which was at the invitation of Paul) was on the upstairs deck on a bus in Liverpool. He played a a few bars and then went into what Paul described as an amazing rendition of all those twangy ' guitar solos everyone else wanted to play but couldn't! After a couple of minutes John asked George if he wanted to join his band! Lol. ✌ And Btw. As every Beatle fan will tell you, , it was the three of them who asked Ringo to join Them and who was doing very well at the time thank you very much and getting paid playing with Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.
The song George played on the bus was "Raunchy"
@@streaming1950 Yea!! It was, and many many thanks for reminding me! It was driving me crazy trying to remember it and I could actually hear P.McCartney voicing it and air playing it to the interviewer when telling the story! My weekend has started on a good note. I Doff my cap to you sir/madam. As Ringo consistently still says...peace and love to you. Have a good weekend. ✌🎸from Ayrshire Scotland.
Ringo has God in his life. This is why he & George both had happy, content, normal lives.
I'm an agnostic and I feel that both John and George are in my life somehow I feel they're here in a good way not for thier religious opinions...
Brandon Shaw lol your funny
So most people who don't have *God* into their lives won't be able to live happy, content and normal lives? Got it.
:/
@@francelaferriere6106 Yes. That is exactly it. Evidenced by your negative remark. Sad for you.
@@pm829not negative at all, just pointing out your flawed logic
One fo the thigns that made hte Beatles great was th lack of stand-alone solos. Most bands play like 4 (or 5, or whatever) people playing vaguely related parts, with guitar solos that seem to have little to do with the song. Beatles solos are composed as parts of the songs, like classical music. Not sure if I'm explaining this well, I hope you understand.
Peace and Love Ringo!
Ringo😍😍❤❤
Garry not Linda. There's a lot of talk here about George being underrated. I don't know by who because the top guitarists in the world were in awe of his work. I think it was in a UA-cam video on the Traveling Wilbury's they talked about his study of the sitar. That I never cared for the instrument means nothing. What does matter is that several people in the video and may have been touched on in a Musicians Hall of Fame interview with Steve Lukather or someone was George's precision as a player. They attributed it to his work and mastery of the sitar and coupled that with his sense of compositional intuition that blew them all away. No fluff every note related to the melody at hand. No long winded epic solos. Straight to the point playing relevant leads and fills. As George said in an interview about Ringo one time, "I don't have to tell Ringo what to play, I just look at him and he knows just what to do." He said he might ask him to do a little fill or something here or there but that they were almost always right on the same wavelength. Ringo never believed in drum solos. No long assed bore you to tears, tiresome drum solo. The world needs more like him. Enough said.
Interviewer: I didn't realize you took it (photo)
R: (without missing a step) Why? Who would take it? it's in me book.
Ringo, master of the rhetorical question.
Ringo has INSANE quick wit! I'll be watching interviews and stuff with him and be caught off guard with some of the stuff he says!😂😂😂😂
The man doesn't age..
God Bless him!
Great story about Ringo. Ringo wrote a song and took it to Paul in the next room. He said "Paul waddya think of this". Paul said hang on Ringo, I'm just finishing up this song. Let me play it for you. Paul sings, "Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away, now it looks as though they're here to stay, oh I believe"..... And so on till he gets to the end of the song. Then Paul says, ok Ringo what was it you wanted to say? Ringo said, err, it's ok, Paul its not important.
The George Harrison pic is Blue Jay Way segment from Magical Mystery tour
Ringo is such a good man 💙
George Harrison is so underrated for his work with the Beatles .
Ummm... No he isn't!
@@4Stix4 umm yeah he is
Hes considered one of the worlds greatest drummers, also by other leading drummers, and was an integral part of the band and the Beatles sound. The other three absolutely worshipped him. Ringo was a successful pro musician before the beatles - they desperately wanted him in the band. In what way was he underrated? By whom?
I certainly got what you are trying to say but let’s be real, no Beatle is underrated. They are rated as high as any human in recent history. 😂
Nice to see. David. Lynch 🙏❤️🙏
George and Ringo are underrated photographers
I agree with your comment Ms.Gobloggian, I'm happy you don't find their work to be derivative or bull shit😂😂
My favourite Beatle. Love you Ringo. Photograph is my favourite.
Love you Ringo❤️❤️❤️❤️
what year was this done please? why dont you folks ever post the damn recording dates?????
Smashing!
I'm still holding out hope for Paul before it's too late. So glad to know that Ringo WILL be on the other side!
God-bless you ringo
Full interview?
Love Ringo
Anybody have a 1977 copy of Drowning in a Sea of Love?
let’s hear it for georgie!
When you see people die and walk that path with them you often begin to believe in God if you did not earlier.
Glad to hear Ringo has God in his life and not Hare Krishna. I always had a problem with George calling Krishna, my sweet Lord. Hope they both found Jesus because he’s the way to God!
Worshipping a man isn't the way to god, worshipping the creator is the way to god, not worshipping the creation
Why good times bad times at the end?
After The Beatles they were and still are Beatles, for now and eternity.
Who are the two guys sitting next to Ringo ? Somebody know.
Ringo you still look great I'm sure john and George looks down on you while you do concerts to smiling from haven
sorry for my ignorance, but who are the other two sitting with ringo? and as an aside, recognizing G-d is a sign of maturity...
Who were the outher guys on stage ?
Tavistock was the British version of Americas "The Wrecking Crew."
