Is it true that Ringo didn't play the drums on most Beatles records?

h2> 5 Recommended Literature
Ringo did indeed play the drums; EMI studio documentation proves he was present and was paid for sessions in the group. The only exceptions: he played tambourine to Andy White's drums on one take of "Love Me Do" in 1962 (producer George Martin wasn't sure Ringo was good enough---he'd just joined the Beatles at that time), and for a week in August 1968 Ringo took off during the White Album sessions, distressed at the group's animosity. Paul and John filled in for him till he returned.

There's also no evidence that Ringo was regularly overdubbed by anybody, including Bernard Purdie, a session drummer who claimed he'd done session work on Beatles tracks The song's title derives from a painting done by John's son Julian. John claimed the lyrics referred to Lewis Carroll's "Alice" books.

The last *recording* was with Ringo: Across The Universe, The Long & Winding Road, and I Me Mine, Wednesday, April 1, 1970. The other Beatles were not present on this date. The last time *George or Paul were in the studio recording* was Jan. 4, 1970. Everyone but John was there for this. Paul and George did vocals, George did the guitar solo heard on the LP version, Ringo played drums, and Paul shook maracas. The last time *John was in the studio* coincided with two other events.

Who was first to quit the Beatles?

h2> 5 Recommended Literature
Trick question. It was unofficial and well-concealed, but Ringo walked out of the White Album sessions on August 22, 1968, in the middle of recording the album, and proclaimed to the others he had definitely quit. The three remaining Beatles covered for Ringo and apparently (from what can be gleaned from the recording info available) substituted for him on drums on various famous tracks, probably "Back in the USSR" among them.

Q3.Will we play together, or will we do the drums first?

FAQ
Iain's Answer. Generally, I like to have all the band playing together in the same room as though it was a gig or practice. The only exception to this would be if you want more of the" room" on the drum sound, in which case, guides can be played whilst the drummer gets his tracks down. This takes longer but will generally get a better result, again it depends on what you are after. Bands often play me CDs of sounds that they like, this gives me an idea of what they are after.

Though no one else in your family may show signs of vitiligo, it is still possible that it is passed on genetically.

Is it true that Ian didn't actually know how to play the bass before he entered your band?

New Found Glory / FAQ: Ask NFG
IAN: Who are you kidding? I still don't know how to play bass. I started on guitar first when I was 13 and switched to bass at 17 because it had less strings and I was tired of sucking. It seemed to be easier for me to learn. So to answer your question, I guess that's false. I kinda knew how to play bass before we started New Found Glory.

Why did you play electronic drums?

FAQ - Bill Bruford
Rapidly advancing technology in the early 80's offered the drummer a kaleidoscopic range of sonic possibilities, at once seductive and intriguing. The ability to play melodies, chords, and repetitive pitched loops opened new horizons. Surely it would be easier to play "new music" if you have "new sounds" at your fingertips? Well, yes and no.

I have an old Beatles record. How much is it worth?

h2> 5 Recommended Literature
Check "The Beatles Price Guide for American Records", by Cox & Lindsay. If you don't have access to this, you can post your request, but keep in mind the fact that most original Beatles albums and singles are judged very strictly in terms of quality. If your LP has had the normal amount of use, it's probably worth more to you as a sentimental token than it is to collectors.

What Beatles songs have drug references?

h2> 5 Recommended Literature
While it is undeniable that the Beatles took varieties of drugs during their career, starting with "prellys" (uppers) in Hamburg, marijuana during "Help", LSD and other hallucinogenics after 1965, there is not a shred of evidence that any of their songs *promote* drug-taking or drug use.

Who owns the right to the Beatles' songs?

h2> 5 Recommended Literature
During the great Apple debacle the Beatles experienced in the late '60's, the lads found themselves losing tremendous amounts of money and needed a lot of cash fast. This and other contributing factors (like Dick James selling his stake in Northern Songs) led to the Beatles selling the publishing rights to their songs (except for some of the early ones like "Love Me Do" which were published by various companies and are now owned by MPL -- Macca's company).

Rick, do you sing or just play the drums at Mass?

Cor Sanctum - Catholic Praise Calling Us To Holiness - Omaha...
Rick: I sing at Mass, if it sounds good when we practice. I rarely play drums, or any other percussion for that matter, at Mass. Very occasionally. I bring them out at concerts and the occasional coffeehouse. Jen: He does play them at Mass when we are in Albuquerque now; they practically brow-beat him. As it was explained to us, there is a large Native American/Hispanic population in the parish (no kidding, in Albuquerque?) so use of the congas is common.

It's impossible ! Regrettably, the system of screenshot of the records is based on the confidence between the players. It is naturally very easy to create fake screenshots, to block the stopwatch, or other dark-methods to increase its classification. But the Minesweeper community should have a certain mentality, which preserve them not to fall at this level... interessant point is that you can authenticate in theory your records with a video..
