What would the world be like if Ringo Starr didn't replace Pete Best?  

Beatles will always be Beatles, Ringo Starr will always be Ringo Starr. He brings such joy to the super group and solid drum beats that makes the Beatles sound like the Beatles. What would it be like if Ringo Starr didn't replace Pete Best?

My answer will be, things could have been different and the Beatles might weaken and not take the world like they did decades ago. I have a DVD entitled: The Best of the Beatles. It showcases the relationship of Pete Best to the band, how he got sacked and his story after the Beatles. There you can hear his versions of the songs popularized by Ringo's drum beats. To give you an example, the drum line for Ticket to Ride has always been ahead of its time, his version is somewhat just ordinary... sorry Pete this is just my opinion, you did really well in the early Beatles. If you listen to the recordings of the Beatles from 1965 to 1969, you can hear drum lines that you really gave you chills to your spine like Ringo's drum line in Tomorrow Never Knows from Revolver, In my life, Rubbersoul to name a few. In fairness to Mr. Best, his dynamic recreation of the Beatles Hamburgh and Cavern Sound is authentic, great band. But for me, Ringo fits in the puzzle. I both love Starr and Best and for me, Best helped shape the Beatles for them to be ready to the outside world they enjoyed for a long time.

Cheers to Ringo and Pete!
