When I was in those Liverpool bands my mother had this great line, she said ‘son I always feel you’re at your happiest when you’re playing,’ and deep inside I am, I just love it.
I got a kit of drums and I was in a couple of really good bands. “I was inspired at age 13, and that has never left me, the dream and the joy. It came to an end eight years later, it still blows me away that we did all that in eight years,” he said. We played well together and we all got on with each other, that’s just how it was. “We were lads when it started and then we went on to have wives and children and we stopped touring and made great records. He was asked to reflect on the legacy of The Beatles, a band he joined 60 years ago this August. The concerts were previously postponed twice due to the COVID. You’ve got to learn the basics of the instrument and make it yours.” Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band previously announced tour dates in May and June. I can’t read music, it’s always a jam for me. From (age) 13, I wanted to be a drummer and I’m still drumming today. “Just play… old drummers, new drummers, when you do start playing, call your pals up and play with them, play in the kitchen, play in the garage, that’s all I ever say. Starr, a recent recipient of an Honorary Doctorate from Berklee College in Boston had some advice for aspiring musicians. I’m grateful to Peter for doing such a great job,” said Starr. For the 2022 tour, the All Starr Band lineup will boast regulars Steve Lukather, Colin Hay, Warren Ham, Gregg Bissonette, and Hamish Stuart, while the group will also welcome back previous. Peter showed that there it was lots of fun as well, he certainly brought that out. Guitarist Steve Lukather, an All Starr Band veteran of 10 years, and a member of Toto since their inception in the 70s, got everyone up with Rosanna and Africa. We were laughing, we were having fun, and we played great and we did all this in a month. “The original (Let it Be) documentary, I never liked it, it was so narrow it (focused) on an argument and all the down parts. I wanted to know, how did I get to that shuffle thing just playing the snare drum, I have no idea why I changed to that or what moment that was, I wanted to see it on film, but the cameras were off when we did that.” He had one minor disappointment while watching the film… “When we did the song ‘Get Back’ if you look at all the early takes it’s just sort of getting it together, straight rock, (Ringo hums the tune ‘get back, get back’). Joining Starr on the road will be long-serving. John and Paul would always have a couple of songs so we could start things rolling and there we didn’t,” explained Starr. Ringo Starr is set to return to the road with his All-Starr Band in mid-2022, touring North America for the first time in nearly three years. The difference with Get Back was that we had no songs to start. When we made records, we sort of went through the same cycle. I was a bit stunned at first because we thought it would be a two-hour show, it’s six hours, but it’s an easy documentary to watch. “What I’ve noticed with Ringo in the All-Stars, is that when we first started, a lot of the audience was my age, but over the years it’s gotten younger. All proceeds from the new book will benefit the Lotus Foundation, which supports and promotes charities that focus on substance abuse, brain tumors, cancer, battered women and children, homelessness and animals in need.He was asked about the Peter Jackson documentary Get Back, which has contributed to the resurgence of all things Beatles.
