I don't know Art. I'd say it is. But then I thought the Bruce Lee video where he is beating ping pong masters using nunchucks was real too. Wrong!- is this for real?
I don't care for it (as the Beatles). The songs are fine, although they seem to lack some energy. Pete's drumming is fine, but he ain't no Ringo.
Same exact words came to my mind, "he ain't no Ringo"
I just never took to the Beatles
It's genetics.... You are either Beatles dominant or Stones dominant. A few people are ambi-banderous and actually get into both equally.I wanted to play drums cause all the Big Band jazz cats, John Bohham, Keith Moon, and I preferred Charlie Watts laid back approach. There I said it-I don't know why Ringo gets more accolades than Watts. I just never took to the Beatles-yeah it maybe heresy but just my opinion and it has had no impact on them or anyone else I know-I'm glad for them. The only time I bothered to listen was when I was gigging and we did Beatles songs-I like some now I must say from the experience-which makes me open my horizons to other "crap" music I've mused in past LOL. I'll take you back in time to where I was at in the 60s music wise. Here's my brothers playing in 1966-my eldest brother is playing drums-after my Mom put the brakes on me being out late ( we fought over my kit, he's seven years older, so beat me up and took my drum kit to play my position). My next oldest bro playing lead guitar and wrote the song.
Dang Mongrel you nailed it!!!!! Interesting I'm closer to my younger sis than older bros, but we bump heads a lot-probably because she's a Beatle and I'm Stoned (lol) we miscommunicate. I made a harmless comment agreeing with her on FB that started a huge argument that I was attacking her. I'm like WTH????? It all makes sense now.It's genetics.... You are either Beatles dominant or Stones dominant. A few people are ambi-banderous and actually get into both equally.
I used to perform a "parlor trick" of sorts by looking people in the eye and declaring-"you are a Stones Fan" or "Beatles fan"...lol.
I actually communicate better with Beatles fans than Stones fans. Seriously. I would get this weird feeling trying to talk to someone that they just weren't "getting it". I would stop and ask "Beatles or Stones?" Sure enough, nearly 100% of the time, after a brief moment of confusion, they would say "Stones". AHA! Time to move on....lol.
Then there would be the guy or girl who would say "Kinks" or "Who". That would really shut it down fast....lol.
Anyway...that's why it's Ringo vs Charlie.

Yep my brother is guitarist and wrote song, thanks for the compliment I’ll tell him. The bass player was really good and you can hear his voice crack on some of the high notes LOL. It was This Feeling on one side and Yes it’s to bad on other. They were The Rogues but had to abandon because it was taken. Bunches of garage bands with interchangeable players came and went during the time- some were pretty good.I am not sure if i understand this correct, but are you saying that your brothers are playing in The Gang Of Saints and that one of your brothers even wrote that song..?
Because thats a superb song man..!
Really, am i understanding this correct or not..?
