Did that make him a bad baseball player? Nothing special?According to the Anthology, what you say is not true, but this is absolutely pointless. If you need to feel superior because you have a crumb of a detail that you think is rock-solid, I leave you to it.
How in the hell does that make Ringo a bad drummer?
Do you even read the quotes you posted? They refute yr argument instead of bolstering it.
It's amazing just how much you miss the mark here. Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, and a host of prog-rock showoffs could drum circles around Ringo.
Uhhh...not in the Beatles.
Are you trying to tell us that Ringo isn't a good drummer because he wouldn't have been a good drummer in Benny Goodman's orchestra, or Rush? This is laughably absurd, this whole thing. Oh, Cozy Powell was better...HE should've been the drummer in the Beatles. Neil Peart. Carl Palmer.
These guys have talent in spades, anyone who disputes that doesn't know what they're talking about. So what? Talent isn't music. Music is what you do musically with yr talent. This isn't something that should be beyond the grasp of someone who managed to earn a license to practice law.
But then you're the guy saying Buckethead is a better player than Jimi Hendrix was.
Maybe one day you'll understand that music isn't an administrative function where the skills involved are one-size-fits-all. Do you know the first thing about timekeeping? One iota of understanding about the stage conditions the Beatles experienced on their tours?
Fortunately, the recordings are available. Amazingly, in spite of not being able to hear jack shit on stage, the band holds it together remarkably well. I'd hazard a guess that nobody--NOBODY--would ever be able to perform as tightly as that band did under those conditions. And I'm not just talking about teenaged girls screaming.
I posted this once before for yr benefit. Why don't you try actually reading it this time.
