I like Ringo because you could just play his drums alone and you can figure out which song it is.

 

Very true!

Case in point, @44:45...

 

A Day in the Life.

Both drummers are ignorantly underrated. Giving the edge to Charlie, who was excellent on the last Stones tour.

This is what is so disappointing about post-Beatles Ringo Starr. For some reason, Ringo seems more concerned about being a front man/song and dance man rather than being a drummer.

I voted for Charlie Watts, and here's why:

Ringo Starr played on about as many Beatles studio tracks that ace frehley played on Kiss tracks on. Well, actually, I'm not sure if Ringo actually played at all in the studio. There's been speculation bouncing off studio walls for 50 years about that subject.

Must be nice to have a $400M net worth when you're not good enough to lay down tracks in the studio, that's all i've got to say... Ringo got a sweet gig.

At least Charlie played most of his parts, from what I understand. PLUS... Charlie is a jazz player, which means he's in a whole different galaxy than most rock players. Jazz is the hardest stuff to play.

Total bullshit about Ringo not playing in the studio.

Wow! I never heard that rumor about Ringo. It can't be true!

You guys need to research it before jumping to conclusions. He may be a great live drummer but he did not play in the studio, which is a common practice, especially before pro tools and non linear editing of sound waves. Its also a common practice to credit the band member. Sad, but reality.

I'm not one to miss one of Earl's gazillion threads, so here's my 2 cents: I'm fully aware of how important, influential and great The Beatles have been and still are, but cannot listen to them. I don't know why, but when I listen to their albums they scream "dated", but when I hear anything from the Stones' old catalogue it shouts "vintage". So for me, it's Charlie Watts all the way. One fine example of his chops that rarely gets mentioned is Hot Stuff.

 

But what do I know? I prefer Brian Johnson to Von Scott!!!!

What makes you think I didn't research it? You really need to research it. There is not a shred of evidence that Ringo Starr did not play in the studio. Bring it on, show the "research". And don't go the Purdie route...

It's a known fact. Obviously, the mainstream media wouldn't know. The engineers know. He told two engineers. they told two engineer buddies, etc... that's how i found out, was from a sound engineer buddy from Detroit. I guess it's going to remain a pretty good secret...

How is claiming an engineer telling another engineer a "known fact?"

 

Are you talking about Norman Smith? Ken Scott? Ken Townsend? Geoff Emerick? Glyn Johns? Chris Thomas?

 

Your "known fact" is absurd bullshit. At best.

If you believe the common perception that Ringo played in the studio then you probably don't believe Neil E. Peart used to read scriptures out of the bible before every show. No one talks about that, yet I know a guy (formerly with Polygram) who saw it with his own two eyes many times in the 80's. Not everything that happens behind the scenes becomes public knowledge. You can't rely on the internet for the truth in some cases. Some things are not documented.
