Ringo played on every song. He played it live every time with thousands of girls screaming. He was amazing. This guy is out of his mind. He overdubbed one crappy song before Ringo even joined the group. This guy has dementia.
@@wyverntheterrible But he did thousands of times until they stopped touring in 1966. And he played live on the roof top in 1969. So, he had the ability, and quite amazingly at that, to play the studio songs in a live setting for as long as he needed to., Purdie is a nut. He lost his mind as he got older.
Bernard Purdie did play on some Beatles tracks,the ones they recorded with Tony Sheridan in Hamburg when Pete Best was their drummer.Some of the tracks has additional drums overdubbed for American release.
Sorry but Purdey is a horrible human being here. He gives absolutely no evidence and all the evidence is in the other direction. Very unprofessional slagging off other musicians. Lying too.
I remember a video where Paul said he had learned to play the B7 chord whilst on tour in Germany… I find it hard to believe 4 boys who learned to play in their bedrooms to become as productive and prolific as they did
Makes no sense the more you think about it. We’ve all seen Get Back. You can’t fake that chemistry overnight. I have no doubt it was Ringo in that seat and on those records.
In music, studio musicians played on all the records. The people you saw would sing over prerecorded tracks. There were exceptions back in the day, but all those exceptions were when bands would be formed by studio musicians. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and a lot of those 60’s/70’s hard rock bands that got popular all started out as studio musicians or at least multiple members were studio musicians. Idk how many of you play instruments but I can tell you that there is a HUGE difference between being good enough to play live in front of a crowd and being good enough to play on a record. Live no one cares if the drummer speeds up and slows down a few bpm or if the guitarist hits a bad note and tries to bend it up to the right note. Most wouldn’t even notice. On record though, that drummer has to be as precise as the damn metronome, guitarists have to hit the right notes and so on and you only get a couple of takes cuz time = $$$. It’s funny cuz the generation of pop music before rock n roll, Sinatra and those types, would hype up all the pros they worked with and it was a selling point for the record. You think those guys lost their jobs cuz of rock n roll? 😂 i don’t think so. They’re jobs just got easier cuz the music was a lot simpler so they could crank out more of it quicker. Most of your favorite bands were no playing bar bands at best and real pros played on the records uncredited to sell you the myth of music for the common man and a day dream to kids that you could do it to.
@@NaysayKen oh they certainly will. Even knowing as much as we do about it now, I ain’t gonna lie, I still enjoy some of it myself from time to time. I had fun playing in bands in high school and paid my way through college in a wedding band just before we got replaced with an iPad hooked up to a pa 😂. In my car on a sunny day I’ll still crank the radio up and listen to The Beach Boys or something fun. The way I see it is you know that the mythology around music groups are entirely fake, the music was done by studio musicians and it was promoted to push society into lower minded thinking. If you know that and still want to enjoy it that’s fine by me. One thing I will say is that 90% of my music time is spent listening to classical music nowadays knowing what I know now that I’m old 😂
You have no idea how recordings are made and nothing like this could’ve ever happened with the Beatles. All the sessions are documented and no not everyone that was there is lying. Ringo had a completely unique style that ran through all of the records. And because of the way, the Beatles recorded their backing tracks no one could just come in and replace Ringo because he was on the same tracks as John and Paul for the basic rhythm track recording this is the stupidest thing, you can imagine
Overstated and incorrect in many cases. Stones, Beatles, played on their records, along with many others. And no studio musician is perfect with time, most Sixties records are all over the place time wise, and I know because I get hired to cover those tracks. The first step is to create a tempo map so your version matches the record. I have never seen one that didn't vary throughout.
Am I the only person who has watched Ringo play Come Together,and Ticket to ride. There's also live video of the Beatles Playing together. Bernard is a fabulous drummer he really doesn't have do this, watch him play the purdie shuffle, pure class.
you didn't hear Purdie - Ringo played live not in the studio - if you understood how both EMI and Capitol records (and others) in the USA worked..they had session musicians like Purdie for the RECORDING - check out the Wrecking Crew documentary for more info on that.
I saw this same video on Mike Williams channel (most of it). I believe Mr. Purdie. Recently I told a man who appeared to be in his seventies about Ringo not being the drummer and about Mr. Purdie. This man told me he was a drummer. He was genuinely shocked about this bit of news. His face went pale.
With all the fixation about Bernard Purdie (triggered by Mike Williams) most have overlooked the fact that Jimmy Nicol, who was Ringo's replacement briefly on the Australian/New Zealand Tour was a session drummer.....capable of performing a lot more than a 25 minute set of simple early Beatles tunes to screaming kids that could hardly hear them. Yep misterknighttowlandco is correct Britain had its own session musicians.
Come on man, Purdie was under the stage at the Sydney and Adelaide shows. Carol Kaye took photos of him. She has them in her photo album next to her filling in for James Jamerson...
@@waukivorycopse2402 That's interesting, perhaps you could send the photos to Mike Williams for him to post. What was Carol Kaye doing in Australia? Playing bass for McCartney? lol 🙂
@@boomerblacksheep Carol won't let the photos out of her sight unfortunately. She needs them to back up her Jamerson story. Also Purdie says he's holding on to what songs he played on in case he needs money in the future, Pete Best got over a million pounds for his 4 tunes on Anthology, how big a payday is Bernard holding out for?????
@@waukivorycopse2402 Wonder if some of the money mason Pete Best was paid had more to do with just playing drums? Session drummer seems to have got a poor deal, by the look of it, if he only got paid a flat session fee.
@@boomerblacksheep oh no, the story goes that Brian Epstein paid old Bernard $10,000!!!! In 1963!!!!! Apparently Eppy had a million dollar budget. Maybe that's how they were able to put the tempo changes in the click track. As the young people say "Sounds Legit......"
Any musician could understand that back in the 1960s, the music was played live and they were all on one track. Especially the first few years. There is no way in living hell anyone could remove the drums Ringo recorded so they could be replaced. They were embedded in the music and could never be removed, until now at least. Not remotely possible in the 1960s or 70s. If the drums were added, you would hear two separate drum tracks going on. Absurd
What is Hitchens Razor again.... Any assertion made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Purdie says " 98% of the groups of the sixties aren't on their records." 98% ! Really? So Roger McGuinn had someone else dub in his Ric 12? The Turtles needed someone to replace Johnny Barbata? The Springfield needed someone to overdub Neil's riffs? Sir Doug needed someone to replace Augie's keyboard? Who filled in for Link Wray? Dave Davies? George Young? Harry Vanda? Keith Richards? Brian Jones! Jeff Beck?
So if they sent those tapes over to the US, original tapes, why is it that the sound quality of the US albums is so crappy compared to the British ones? As far as I understand they only sent copies over, and sometimes copies of copies. I don't know, of course, but I think he played drums on the earliest Beatles recordings, those with Tony Sheridan. There are two versions of those recordings available today. One with very little drums, just a snare and a hi-hat I think, posted by Pete Best, and one with a more complete setup, probably played by some session drummer, maybe him?
I find this Bernard Purdie stuff super interesting, the thing that I have never been able to get my head around regarding this “fixing” the drumming stuff is that ringo’s style is ver recognisable and if you watch live performances from 1963-6 and the roof top gig he plays the songs the same as on the albums. So why would they need to replace his playing?
They phased out the studio musicians from 67 onwards. Purdie (and others) worked on them up until Peppers, tho no doubt that has musos on it too. Harrison allegedly plays sitar, yet in all anecdotes barely even showed for sessions as he was busy having his house renovated that year....
What about all the songs from Rubber Soul and Revolver that they never played live? Drive My Car sounds straight up like the wrecking crew. Let’s take the drum fills before each chorus for example. Pretty simple on the surface but they’re deceptively intricate and it doesn’t sound like Ringo’s style. Same with The Word, Think For Yourself, and Rain. Ringo can shuffle, and play a solid straight 16th note rock beat which were his go-to’s pre ‘66. I don’t think he was the brain behind the more intricate parts. Paul told him what to play on Ticket To Ride and he simply mimicked the drum part from What I’d Say on I Feel Fine. Has Purdie ever come out with the names of the 21 songs he fixed? That’s what I want to know!
Are you saying this crap because Bernard is Black? He is held in high regard in the musical world . I believe him! The Beatles and George Martin used session guitarists and drummers. George Martin is on record saying Ringo was a poor drummer!!
@@vegetariansuniteworldwide8091 what? No, I'm a committed anti-racist. I do object to anyone trying to claim any of the The Beatles work though! All of the albums came out in the UK first and Bernard, "aint on any of them". George Martin didn't say that Ringo was a poor drummer, he said he couldn't do a drum roll. Big difference! Ringo is a leftie, playing a right handed kit, meaning that all the fills go in the opposite direction to normal. No only that but there was no seperate drum track in this era. It's just total nonsense! Ringo has a sound that fans recognise and it aint Bernard. The only guitarist used as session man was Eric Clapton on Georges' While My guitar Gently Weeps and Billy Peston playing keys during the Get Back sessions. Any other musician was brought in to read George Martin's scores.
@@vegetariansuniteworldwide8091they only used a session drummer (Alan White) on Love Me Do and P.S. I Love You, and only used other guitarists on While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Good Night. That's it
Some mythologists claim Purdie played to a click track that John, Paul and George had also recorded to. How exactly did he put in the tempo changes that exist on these records? Did the click track speed up and down at precisely the right moment??😂😂😂
Hi! Your newest video about “who wrote the songs” is blocked in the USA due to copyright. Is there anyway you can post again without the songs? Thank you sir! I am a big fan!🇺🇸
@@wyverntheterrible I hope you can one day do a video setting the record straight on The Beach Boys and how many of their hits the wrecking crew DIDN'T play on. That myth is getting outta hand. AMU documents count as evidence, don't they? Or was Murry paying everyone under the table....
Went out with a bird that managed some bands, one day she told me as if it was the biggest secret ever that pretty much none of the music on modern records were actually recorded instruments and that even the best guitarists that could be proven to be capable of playing their own stuff live had their parts programmed in for mixing. Not hard to believe they were getting up to tricks like this back in the four track days.
It's clear Ringo has time issues. Check out his modern appearances going back 30 years perhaps all the way back to the Ringo albums.. ALWAYS has a professional drummer next to him on stage keeping time.
Ringo plays with john and paul and George...records...playback sucks...enters the studio pro..play back..sounds like a hit...Ringo listens..learns the new and improved way..monkee flips the switch..this how we'll play it from now on .with Black Magic Flash...swinging baby...could Ringo play with Little Richard.Band.

@@wyverntheterrible But he did thousands of times until they stopped touring in 1966. And he played live on the roof top in 1969.

Do you have any clue who this man is ? He's one of the greatest drummers who ever lived.
