In Reply to: It was fifty years ago today....that the Beatles fired Pete Best posted by TGR on August 16, 2012 at 13:14:54:
...was considered the best drummer in up and coming English bands like the Beatles.
So they had to have him to take it to the next level.
Pete Best was ok but couldn't perform at the level they needed.
So they recruited Ringo and he surprisingly came over - so Best had to go.
Seemed like he never really fit in.
According to the Beatles Biography by Bob Spitz - considered the definitve word on them.
