This is an HBO Show called OFF THE RECORD that Ringo did with Dave Stewart interviewing. It was released in May of 2008. Great interview from a musicians stand point. I DO NOT own rights to this video. I'm only putting it up to share with other Beatles and Ringo fans. No copyright infringement is meant in any way.
As a /beatles fan I think this is the best Ringo interview, ever he come across very well .
I could listen to Ringo telling old stories for hours
Those that he can recall :) There are significant periods he cannot remember a thing, for obvious reasons.
Which is why he was the first narrator of Thomas & Friends.
And hours and hours and hours and hours and hours!!!!!!!!!
Me too!!!!!!!
❤ 😊
A genuine, thoroughly likeable bloke.... very humble and down to earth
Loveable (correction) a loveable bloke 🥰💕🥰
Always!
52 years with you Ringo. Thank you. Thank you so very much.
indeed!
❤
Such a great interview. Ringo has an admirable down-to-earth quality and makes you feel he is right there in the room with you.😍💚💙💗
It was claimed back in the day Ringo got the most fan mail of the band because of his relatability. Though George is my favorite always thought Ringo was the Coolest. 😎☮️♥️
Cool guy, great interview. He sounds like such good fun.😺
Ringo, great person, great attitude, great musician, honest and straight forward.
He's a very funny guy too. I love the bloke.
A nice man. A talented man. A great addition to anyone's life.........now going on fifty-three years of being in mine. Peace Ringo!
Marvellous Ringo!
AMEN!!!!!
Ringo is talented and has a highly unusual approach that makes him unique.
"Gifted and talented" heart and soul of the Beatles!
When George is helping Ringo work out the chords for Octopus' Garden is one of my favorite moments in Let It Be film.
Me too! Very touching especially considering publishing was where they made money when they had stopped touring & most of the songs were written by the other 2.
Thanks for all the great music Ringo 😊
Great Show...RINGO is the man...PEACE & LOVE
Heart of the Beatles, heart of R&R - most versatile drummer ever
Ringo....nobody can crack a snare like him. And his kit is tuned perfectly and his timing is just phenomenal...NOBODY rocks out in 3/4 or 4/4 time like him....plus he has a great voice and slight vibrato....I could go on and on
Very well said
Awesome! I love you Ringo!
This is such a beautiful interview!! He took us trough his and Beatles' lifes so beautifly, Thanks so much for posting
He was not flashy but his timing was allways perfect and hes a cool charismatic guy.
He stated many times he was not a guitar player but the foundation for the guitars so he keep it simple but as perfect as he could do.... He could only play three cords in those days.
@@stevemazz3121 he's talking about Ringo's drumming... Pretty sure ringo still only knows three chords.
Ringo’s drumming on “In My Life”, “Rain” and “A Day In The Life” are works of genius. Ringo didn’t need to be flashy, because he consistently got it right.
@@shaunmcgee4204 AMEN!!!!!!
@@shaunmcgee4204 Truly talented and wonderful since a child.😍😘💙💚
He's a son of my city and the drummer of the greatest band ever.
So glad I got to see this, absolutely fascinating, Ringo tells the "stories" in a such an interesting way - e.g. without the ego getting in the way. And of course his contribution was special by way of his unique drumming and being as John said "the heart of the Beatles" Full credits to Dave Stewart for a superb presentation too!
What a fantastic and interesting interview. Love you Ringo
Ringo never said a bad word about any of The Beatles as a band or as individuals. ..kind hearted loveable genuine nice guy ....perfect fit for John , Paul & george...still recording awesome albums too....
+Bob F. interesting tho he referred to Pete Best (early on in interview) as "the other drummer".....abit dissapointing on ringo. N i love the Beatles!
+Purple Peanuts Whatever one thinks about Pete Best, guess you know this, it was the other three who sacked Pete. THO i would say that Pete Best was treated in a bad way by John, Paul and George. They should have give him some credit. After all. It`s mentioned in The Beatles Anthology. As Ringo says: "Peace and love"
The J, P & G all said that when Ringo came on board is when they became the Beatles. Ringo was the missing link in the sound they were striving for. Pete Best had to go and there is just no nice way to do that sort of thing. It just has to be done. Hurt feelings and all.
alterdestiny and
Bob F. the cherry down George hArdfisooon
Ringo was always a very pleasant, and enjoyable interview.
Ringo was a fantastic part of those Beatles recordings. I always say he played melodic drums because they were such 'tuneful' rhythmic patterns...he composed 'percussive 'tunes' like no other. The list is so long but Hello, Goodbye and She Said, She Said are two fantastic examples. He added immensely to great compositions.
thank you Ringo, you make the wold a magical place!
AMEN!!!!!!!
@@cmdevaney Amen and magical do not go together lol
Like MILLIONS of other 12 year olds, I became a drummer because of Ringo. And still drum to this date...like millions of others! Thank you RINGO for the inspiration and creativity.
Am drummer. Can confirm.
That's awesome 😎😎
Not me I'm afraid. Keith moon abd Simon kirk from free. Alright now was where I learned basic 4 4 beat.
He´s so sweet.... it comes naturally or it doesn´t come
Peace and Love to you.💙💚💜👄
Wonderful !
Best interview with Ringo I ever seen.. Dave did a great job also.
I had the opportunity to meet Ringo in Australia in 2013.. I will be forever grateful to him for taking the time to come, meet his fans..
Fantastic interview...some solid answers from Ringo
indeed
Wow that final song was really something. It almost made me shed a tear. Very emotional and I think many can relate to it, be it Liverpool or some other town you grew up in.
Great interview ! Ringo has great soul and feeling in his playing, I've been a Beatle fan for over 50 years now. Peace and Love to you Ringo.
Just came across this wonderful interview with Ringo and Dave Stewart Those were the days !! A wonderful time for music !
Love Ringo Star! Thank you for posting this.
Ringo was and is the best one of the fab four! I think the Beatles were the best band of my youth! I did like other bands but I think that I loved the Beatles the most.
This was so interesting and fun ! I grew up with the Beatles, fond memories. Thank you ! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸 Love You, too, Dave Stewart ! ❤
So many great stories and memories. Absolutely Heartwarming. Thanks for posting.
HEARTWARMING- I soooo agree! Great comment and great interview. Loveable and so interesting, but above all heartwarming.
A lovely and wonderful interview, two great guys conversing. Such talent! Thanks for uploading.
He's great!
A level headed grounded guy for all his fame and fortune. While he's a great drummer that's his greatest attribute.
He's forgotten his Liverpool roots. Do you think he'd live there? He scooted off to the US and does not even live in the UK. Another David Bowie. All the tosh about him being a Brixton boy when he died. He would not have been seen dead in Brixton, he wanted nothing to do with England when he got rich and famous.
@@treasurehunteruk9718 nope, nothiung like that happened, whatsoever. Beatles or Bowie. At the time, the Labour government of Great Britian had unbearablly brutal tax laws of 90% to highest earners, then those who had enough left to save or invest fell into the Supertax rate of 95% to 98& and left with virtually nothing...just crazy. It was not a matter of them turning their backs on Liverpool or G.B. The Beatles had six number-one singles in 1964 and earned $25 million that year. After management/legal/travel expenses they each grossed $4 million. Their country took $3,920,000 of that from each of them, leaving them with only $80,000 each of the $4 million they each earned. After travel and living expenses, they barely broke even. This is while in the U.S. bands that had just one top 40 hit would net nearly 10 times more than the biggest band in the world. The Beatles were never even given the chance to make their talent and success pay off in England. England did not revise their brutal tax laws until well after the Beatles had broken up. None of the great British musicians of that era left England for any other reason than they couldn't survive there because of the insane tax penalties they suffered because of their success. Rock stars of the 1960's and 1970's leaving Liverpool / Great Britain was a simple matter of common sense and survival.. Their own country forced it on them by overly penalizing their success.
Your wrong TreasureHunter, besides the brutal tales factores, I think I've never heard a singer/songwriter that refers his hometown in his songs like Ringo! Nice songs, reflections, memories and even the not so nice aspects of the huge port-city of Liverpool like what he told us in 'The other side of Liverpool' from his "Y not" album of 2010. He also has an álbum named after his hometown: "Liverpool 8" (2008).
No no no no he don't smoke it no more, he's been off the floor a long time! A very real human being. Yes I do think he is and was the heart of the Beatles! What a springboard into many other things in his career. Methinks Ringo/Richard has found his cave and garden to raise his family in a quiet private cove. A daddy and grandaddy I supose. "Grandchildren on his knee"... Cheers to you grand drummer boy!
The Roof Top "Concert" really was the Proof in the Pudding of how these 4 guys could come together and play as a unit...the early live shows must have been: "THEY WERE GREAT"!
When you look at the Beatles from the outside it just seems impossible. But when you hear Ringo speak like this you realize how it could really happen. Still it defies all the odds. Four superstars just happened to grow up together at exactly the right time in musical history. It happened organically.
Oh I love Ringo! Such a sweet soul, I am so glad to be alive during his time on earth. Thanks for posting this.
You going to catch him this tour (2020 with the all star band) seeing him at the end of this year, (seen Paul several times and he’s not coming near me this tour/hoping he adds a second leg next year) but I haven’t seen ringo since I was a kid (which was amazing), stoked though
@@ENigma-um8zw o
a real nice guy
I loved it..Ringo never let me down
hypnotic
Ringo will always be young, plus he's got a gentle soul, like the rest of the Beatles: may god reward their souls forever!
Amen
I'm not sure John has/had a gentle soul. Maybe sometimes but a lot of the time poor John had a restless soul.💙
Ringo is a sincere Genius and a Legend! Thanks for uploading this
He's been such a kind man! Love his personality and loved him IN Hard Day's Night!,
Wonderful artist!!!!
What a magnificent interview!
What a jolly, as well as insightful interview! Loved the part when he said "George wasn't always a guru, you know."
Yes Andy, a really funny guy. Dave: "Ringo, why did the Beatles want you?" Ringo: "I was the best drummer in Liverpool". Dave: "John Lennon called you the heartbeat of the Beatles" Ringo: "That's true, I was."
Johnny K
Hilarious memories of coming up with "back off boogaloo" & "octopuses garden", certainly the best Ringo interview ever, his honesty is what grips you, no hiding behind the typical rockstar persona.
Take this Show, and mark it Fab!
Yes, indeed, very good interview. Always my favorite Beatle .. probably because of his quirky, often self effacing, sense of humor.
I don't have a cable provider so I can't get HBO so THANK YOU KZhead, HBO and DASDRUMS for making this GREAT INTERVIEW available. Not only is it the best interview I have witnesses from a formal Beatle as to the making of their musical careers, it is the testimony of a true musician and the over powering effect of sitting together and making harmony among one another. Thank you Ringo for sharing and thank you to Dave Stewart/HBO for a most enjoyable time. Now it's going to be a Sunday evening of revisiting Ringo and the Beatles. Peace and Love.
+Swamp Trash Glad you enjoyed it, I wanted people to be able to see this who might not have access to it
+Swamp Trash I don't have Internet provider either I have a cable provider who gets me High Speed Rd., Runner ultimate but they won't cover anything on Cable because I think I have a TV package just Internet
Wow, Best Ringo interview ever.,what a gem.
What a Great man! Thank you for Everything, Ringo! Best Regards from Norway.
Dave Stewart is a fantastic interviewer............I wonder if he still does shows like this..
Ringo is so funny I love the Scouser humour I grew up with it as my Dad was raised in Liverpool and all his family shared the same humour and some of them had that accent and they all supported Everton F.C.
The photo of Ringo dancing face to face with Elizabeth Taylor, their joyful giddy smiles, priceless!
OMG. What a great interview. Came for a couple of minutes just to check it out, stayed for the whole thing.
Now that was a great interview of a Beatle...
Ringo is my favorite drummer of all time and he's a very likable gentle person. He's a good singer and overall musician. He's from my all time favorite band and he's from among the greatest bands in the world 🌎 The Beatles. I love listening 🎧 to his stories about his early life and his life with The Beatles. You're awesome as an all around great artist and you're also a great person. You deserve all of the respect and the accolades and you're loved by all that know you and love you and your music and the music of The Beatles.
always loved the way he plays........nobody quite like him
I know why I like Ringo ( Richard) so much. He grew up poor, just like me and it kept us humble ,happy with the simple things in life, and thankful. Peace & Love, Ringo!
Gah...I just adore Ringo. He's just a genuinely smart creative kind human being. One of the few people on earth that make reality worth it because they exist. I feel the same way about Bjork and a few others. Just those rare creative souls that make my soul smile. :)
avedic cheeeee
Bjork is a B-jerk.
What a gem Growing up in english working class towns never leaves you and ringo hit the nail
This is great! I like how this is focused on the actual music (and not the gossip), and it's great to see Ringo demonstrate behind the kit mid-way through. I also enjoy hearing him talk about how some of his songs were written. The ideal rock drummer, imo.......
i love watching rngo play the drums and answer interviews. in that order.
Thanks for the upload - there were 4 genius musicians in the Beatles :)
Could listen all day
Ringo and George were so good one another
Great interview. Loved how they touched on George introducing Ringo to the Maharishi...I always thought that Ringo had trouble with the food, wanted to go home, and did in fact leave after just two weeks. But Ringo was a family man with a new baby son...and, more to the point, he stated, "The Maharishi gave me my mantra. You can take my car, you can take my house, but the mantras mine."
great show, cheers all,,!!
This was one hell of an interview. THANK YOU!!!
I remember back in 1978 when I was just 10 yrs old and some friends in my neighborhood started a small band and the hippie parents at the cul-de-sac on our street used to call me Ringo because I was the drummer. I didn't even know who he was at that time but once I found out, he was my main influence ever since. Ringo is amazing because he's the only drummer that I learned to not just play rhythm but to also play the beat for the melody of the song and especially for the singer. He may not be the flashiest drummer ever but he is the master of an almost melodic but steady pop groove. I also love the side to side swipe of the high hat like a paint brush strike he used as opposed to the standard strait down bang. It creates a totally different sound a feel to percussion. He's a complete original and all around great guy! Most importantly he taught me that less is actually more. He got more out of a 4 or 5 piece kit than anyone else on the planet. Lastly, if you believe the old rumors about the real Paul McCartney dying in 1966 then Ringo really is the last living Beatle!
Ringo is famous for his unique technique playing the hi hat using a windshield wiper blade motion . many small cars had just one wiper blade mounted in the center of the windshield on a pivot and the blade went from side to side . think of holding a small flag and waving it back and forth thats the motion Ringo uses playing his hi hat . his drumming is as unique as the melodies that George John and Paul created. He certainly was the heart beat of the Beatles. ❤🥁
Beautiful. Thank you
Cool guy!
Extraordinary guy. Always loved you.
Great stuff, this is a must see for any Beatles fan.
Always my favorite Beatle. Great satirical and observational sense of humor.
Agree,easy fine on the same time,Peace and love.
Rare and unseen
Retro Thingz
Hendrix
Retro Thingz yeah ... My favorite too ... No doubt ... Very real
he reminds me of Ronnie Woods when asked what it was like to be a Rolling Stone and he said he said he was only standing in for 20 years, but apparently he was in the band.
Dear Ringo, he is beautiful!! I REMEMBER IN 1963 OR 1964, ANYWAY THEY GOT ON ED SULLIVAN' YOU MADE IT IF YOU GOT ON HIS SHOW.! THE BEATLES. JUST SUPER! I CRIED MY EYES OUT. THE MUSIC WAS GREAT, AND I WAS IN LOVE WITH ALL FOUR!
Ringo is so sharp and cool and funny and charming, really demonstrates heart of the Beatles like John said.
Best Ringo interview I've heard.
Absolutely loved hearing the story behind Octopus's Garden. Makes me love the song even more!
I can’t stop smiling
That was fantastic! Thanks Ringo! Love you~
Very nice interview. Thanks so much for posting. Ringo always seems like just a down to earth guy. Rock on... Medicine Man... lol
+Da Critter George was down to earth as well... I could easily hit it off with those 2 like brothers, but it might not be nice to hurt Paul or John's feelings
Loved the interview. Ringo is so self deprecating. He is so matter of fact with the technical side of his music. He clearly talented but makes it sound like he was just messing around. It's coming out why he did things the way he did like being a left handed player on a right handed drum kit for example. His adaptations were intuitive but he did create a special and unique sound.
plusfour1 George was a big help in introducing the others to the traditional sounds of India to use on later album(s)
He's so lovely. I always loved him but I learned so much more about him here. One of the most "grown up" and humble musicians of his time. Highly underrated.
We were 16 in the Midlands UK not far from Sheffjeld and Liverpool, just about to leave Hugh School and we lived live bands and the new music. Then along cane the Beatles with that sound and rhthyms that went in our ears and filled ur souls till we felt so alive, really alive!. Paul Mc Cartney ,uses the word magic 'magic' and it still is! Over the past couple of days I've focussed on KZhead features on Ringo's drumming and re-listening to the music from a different anggle which has given a whole new dimension to my pleasure in Beatles music. Thank you Ringo, you have given me so much over the years, the glue between the words that made the music so strong. LOVE Eunice
I love interviews with Ringo. I think he’s so down to earth and honest unlike Paul.
I do agree with what you said of Ringo but not about Paul. Why he's not honest?
Thanks Dave 4 sharing
Thanks Liverpool. And Ringo is still ringing true.
Ringo is so mature a great sense of humor and such an honest heart. He must be a great Father. I totally enjoyed these few miniutes. So much to learn from a man like him. Peace Ringo!!
Ringo made it legendary and what an absolutely beautiful soul
thanks for posting this! Ringo has always been my inspiration in the drum beats
