Pete Best seems like such a great guy! I’m glad he finally received some royalties for two LP’s he played on! I understand that Ringo Starr replaced Pete Best because of a business decision but what is disgraceful is that never once did any of the other Beatles reach out to Pete Best and simply call him and say “Hello”. Pete claimed that they were all very good friends yet no one ever contacted him! That is sad!

Nothing personal against Pete Best but the Beatles became the one and only real true Beatles when Ringo took over. It seems his style fit in better with the sound and music they were recording at the moment Pete was outsted. Certainly Pete should have tried to somehow change the others decision as he did absolutely nothing to save himself. Personally I think that John, Paul and George liked Ringo's style of drumming better than Pete's. It's not that they despised Pete or wanted to be more recognized than him but they just liked Ringo's style and personality better. Very sorry Pete but you know that's the music industry. Certainly the others should have been brave enough to let you know exactly how they felt as you were playing together for quite some time.

In a recent publication I've read that someone did the math on The Beatles stage performances and it is estimated that Pete Best put in more hours playing with the band live, in a few short years, than Ringo did for the remainder of the bands touring years. Considering that during the Hamburg Germany years they played hours on end every night of the week and after stardom came, they played 30 to 40 minutes shows a few times a week until they decided to stop touring in 1966.

I have read and seen many interviews with George Martin about this. He flat-out did not think Best was a good enough drummer and he told Brian Epstein that. He said they could keep him in the band, but he would use a session drummer to record their tracks. Even after they got Ringo, he recorded Love Me Do with a session drummer because he had already decided to do it that way after hearing them demo with Best. But after that, he saw that Ringo was good enough, so he used him on the recordings. The Beatles' personalities did not fit with Best at all. Martin and Epstein are both on record as pointing out that Best was quiet, not as much of a hell-raiser, just not like the others. It was as bad fit personality-wise. And with George Martin telling them their drummer wasn't good enough, what should they have done? They did the right thing. You have to understand that to maintain a rock band, it's not just about being good enough musically. You have to fit in well with the others. It's almost like a marriage. And Pete just didn't fit. The other 3, Epstein, and Martin are not to blame. Replacing Pete Best was the right move for the band. It's just a sad set of circumstances. And Pete Best is, and always has been, a very class act, so it's tragic that he couldn't participate in such a great thing as The Beatles. He has never showed bitterness or rage about what happened.

+mmagliaro Martin did not say that. He said Pete Best was fine for live work. Studio work is very different. It was normal in those day to get in a sessions drummer for studio work. The first Abbey Rd 6 June 1962 session was not an audition. The Beatles were already contracted onto EMI. If Best knew this he could have sued the hell out of them. EMI was contracted to the The Beatles. Best was one of them. After Best left, EMI would have needed to have signed a new contract.

the Beatles had a recording contract and the producer Martin went thumbs down on Best as the drummer. Rather than risk the contract, they knew he had to go. Ringo was the natural choice as he had sat in with them several times in Hamburg while Best was off horizontal jogging with a stripper. Ringo fit in well, better in their eyes Best was shy and too reserved for their wit and sense of humor. Ringo was a better drummer. The fact Best got most of the attention from female admirers was annoying but was a footnote to the general indifference they felt to him

I agree with you, and think that when Ringo did fill in for the absent Pete the band gelled. Also the fact that Pete's mum was a self appointed pseudo manager irritated the other three and Epstein.

***** That is Pete's version..... and I think there is some truth to the tale that Pete was the Cavern Club heart throb and some jealousy was there.... but that's not the main reason Pete was given the boot. The fact of the matter is that Pete simply never fit in with the tight knit inside joking comradeship that John Paul and George had developed. Many others have commented on this too..... Astrid, Klaus, Horst etc. George especially wanted Pete out. John is on record saying that they had always planned on replacing Pete with a "better drummer" and when they realized that they were on the verge of stardom they went for their buddy Ringo.... who DID fit in (or to be accurate, they had Brian do the dirtywork which was a huge act of cowardliness on the part of the Fab 3).. It has been said that Pete was a great drummer and gave the Beatles the 'Atom Beat' that was the backbone of their early success and I wont deny that. However, but the time of their introduction to EMI their sound was already changing and Ringo was a better choice for the band..... he had better timing.... could pound away as well as Pete... and could also play in ways that were more varied than Pete's limited bag of tricks.... and Ringo certainly fit in as one of the boys. As for the Beatles ever becoming 'Pete Best & The Beatles' in any way, I find that laughable. John and Paul were the songwriters and the obvious front men and that alone meant that whoever the drummer was, he would be seen as a supporting player, as Ringo was. Not that Pete wouldn't have had his share of the fan base (as Ringo did), but the names of the Beatles would always be said in order of perceived importance.... John, Paul, George and..... the drummer.

At the very least, if I were him I would have confronted them where they were playing and demanded to know why or given a reason. Remember, it was a good 6 months before they became really big, insulated and famous when they let him go. He never bothered to confront them to ask why? At the time they were only a locally popular group and honestly, I really don’t think he cared that much.He lacked great enthusiasm and passion. Now later on, when they became the biggest thing in the world, I’m sure it killed him.

People here keep talking about how George Martin wanted Pete out, but according to the Mark Lewisohn they'd been looking to replace him for a while and as Paul's induction speech of Ringo shows, they'd been eyeing Ringo for a while. Martin and the Beatles have all said in various interviews that Martin said they could use Pete on tour but they'd use a studio musician for the recordings, but The Beatles wanted Pete out anyway and saw it as the excuse to replace him. And if you've heard his drumming on those early recordings, you know why.

Let us remember they had the brilliant George Martin behind and producing them. Also what about The Moody Blues, The Beach Boys, The Carpenters, 10 CC? They are and were brilliant too. The Four Seasons, some of their music is very advanced, as for being loved, The Seekers out sold the Beatles when at their height and were and still are truly loved.

When you really look at Pete's life, at one time he either wanted to or did try to commit suicide. BUT all in all he was very fortunate to be born when and where he was. And he has MANY MANY GREAT memories of being something that Millions and millions of musicians would have loved to be. A BEATLE. Regardless, he was very lucky to be in the right place and the right time. Even though he was only a Beatle for two years it has given him an opportunity to be involved with the Beatles story, though indirectly his entire life. Beatle fans love Pete as much as any of the Beatles. The only down side of his life is being asked ALL THE TIME why he was fired from the Beatles. Every interview I have seen on tv of him has him being asked that same question. He pretty much has the answer worked out down to the period at the end of his sentence. Sure he was upset at first but he has matured well and has lived to tell his story. Unfortunately Stu did not live to neither see the Beatles success nor tell his story to anyone. Pete was very fortunate indeed.

I would say it was Brian. Pete Best had been doing the booking for one thing so there would be this unconscious drag backward to deal with as Brian sought to sculpt their image and future. George Martin (in a later interview) also described Pete Best as having a withdrawn or "sullen".demeanor when they met, unlike the other three. And then of course, the extraordinary something extra Ringo possessed. He had his own band at the time. Think of how they cast him later in A Hard Days Night and how well he handled the part.Ringo was born to be a very special person with the heart of a Starr.

Yes, they admitted Pete Best did attract a lot of girls. BUT come on now, does anyone think Paul wasn't raking them in and fighting them off? Pete Best's sex appeal doesn't seem so major as to have been a threat. But his earlier business role definitely ended up working against him.

When the Beatles became millionnaires you'd have thought they'd have given Pete a few million for old times sake but they never did. I suppos it proves the old saying- "It's always hard to write a cheque, especially if you're a millionnaire". Even Lennon shunned Pete despite all his airy-fairy "good guy" stuff in 'Imagine'

I don't want to judge whether it was right or wrong to dismiss Pete, but in the story told by Pete (reiterated in other interviews), it seems that John, Paul and George woke up one day and suddenly decided to fire Pete and replace him with Ringo. Of course this has no sense. Pete should aksk himself why they fired him. Probably the Beatles did not consider, wrongly or rightly, Pete a good drummer and a good friend.
