Hehehe
also I think the idea of this 'Ringo leaving the building' business. Can he leave the world also?
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:09, archived)

Aww, he's not that bad
and totally undeserving of the joke:

Q. What do you call a cunt who hangs round with musicians?

A. Ringo Starr.

he's not the best drummer in the world
he's wasn't even the best drummer in the beatles

Hahaha!
He is that bad, he's an overrated tosser that totally believes all the (undeserved) hype that's sprung forth like an explosive bowel movement from the mouths of people who obviously don't have ears.

Except you. You're lovely.

A lot of the worst singers/musicians are in the best bands
Shane McGowan - can't sing, good songs
Bob Dylan - can't sing
White stripes woman - can't drum
Pete Docherty - can't sing
( Mr Gear - the only black guy on B3ta, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:18, archived)

I don't even think the Beatles were one of the best bands.
Yeah, they were alright, but bollocks were they the best band ever.

Although you're right- James Brown was a cunt but I still adore his music.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:20, archived)

I'm not saying they were the best either
but they do have lots of memorable songs, which is why people haven't forgotten about them.
( Mr Gear - the only black guy on B3ta, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:20, archived)

That, and people won't shut up about them.
And they're merchandised to death.

there's a vid on the links board
of james brown and paverotti singing together
and it really shows what a fantastic voice james brown had

But they did do a lot of stuff first.
As pioneers, they didn't always know what they were doing.

I'm not quite sure why I'm defending the Beatles as I'm not that partial to them myself either, but there you go.

I also have no idea
who told Dave Mustain that he could sing. Or Jimmy Hendrix.
( Afinkawan, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:20, archived)

The same person who said to him
'You were in Metallica? Really? You know, I bet nobody knows that. You should probably tell them.'
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:21, archived)

hendrix has a good voice,
really appropriate for his music. Mustaine is a dickwad tho

Ringo was (and still is) a fantastic drummer
and anyone who disagrees is clearly mentally ill.

Sorry, but I'm in quite fervent disagreement with you there.
My drummer, who's 24 is far more accomplished, talented and generally better, IMO. Plus he's not a self satisfied cunt like Ringo.

But hey, opinion is king.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:25, archived)

my drummer's older than yours
and much smaller i'll wager
( lordsaccharine my hat it has three cornets toot toot toot, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:30, archived)

I don't doubt it, mine's a big tall gangly git.
He's one of the loveliest people though, bless him. Awww.

heh mine is a little sinewy lumberjack
great player, really creative and loads of animal energy, in fact he is quite a lot like Animal

Haha, mine's a big tall chef
that hums all the songs and can do a blastbeat that'd make your eyes water.

sweet
maybe we have the opposite of each other's band. Like ying and yang.
( lordsaccharine my hat it has three cornets toot toot toot, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:45, archived)

Hehehe, right
we are:

two guitarists, one big and dready and one shorter and most of the time baldy with massive beard (for the purposes of illustration imagine Nick Olivieri but less ugly and a lot more clothed- he'll probably hate me for saying that but the hair choices are similar), little lady bassist (hello) and aforementioned drummer.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:47, archived)

we lost a guitarist to CoD4 :-(
Might get a new one.

We just look like various sizes of troll.
( lordsaccharine my hat it has three cornets toot toot toot, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:56, archived)

ours runs thus:
singer: 80s soft metalhead
guitarist 1: tall geeky indiepop kid
guitarist 2: Mr Classic Rock
dub-obsessed Jewish bassist
me on drums - I like field recordings and the Uzbekistani doutar

needless to say, the rhythm section dominates everything else, and I am in entirely the wrong band

I'm just a geek drummer in that I just want to sound like a TR-808

( Mighty Nibus who dares gins, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:47, archived)

As I have no idea what that is
I'm choosing to believe it is an electronic Tyrannosaurus.

This is a good ambition.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:48, archived)

Everybody gettin' down make no mistake/Nothing sounds quite like an 808
as the Beastie Boys put it

Raaaaaaaaaar.
Is that how it sounds?

silly, is not trex
is classic hip hop/electro drum machine.

That's nowhere near as cool as my idea.

trexes cannot drum

he may not be
be the most technically proficient drummer in the world, but technique soon becomes boring if there is no thought or creativity behind it, which I would argue is true for all instruments.

In my opinion, Ringo's drumming in The Beatles was original, musical and full of personality. But if you don't like it, then that's that I suppose.

I try my best not to find out anything about the personalities of the people who make music I like. They almost always turn out to be cunts and that kind of spoils it for me.

Tell me about it, I'm a huge Zeppelin fan.
Apparently Robert Plant's a complete and utter twatbag. And I've been in love with the man for about 12 years now.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:36, archived)

although they did use the drummer from the Blues & Royals (Household Cavalry) as a session drummer, you know

( Mighty Nibus who dares gins, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:39, archived)

Ringo played on pretty much everything
with the exception of a couple of tunes from the first sessions with EMI (Love me do and some other stuff) and The Ballad of John and Yoko which was Paul on drums.

There may be one or two other tracks I am forgetting about, but it was almost entirely Ringo,
( Mystery_Bob, Thu 17 Apr 2008, 12:51, archived)

Was it mcCartney who said
"Rongo's not even the ebst drummer in the Beatles"?

I hope so cos he's a cunt and hate him (macca that is)
