it's something worth to look into... unsa kaha labas ani ila fusion
The Beatles first met Bob Dylan in 1964 or 1965. They shared a joint in Dylan's hotel room.
Eric Clapton would be a great addition if such a collaboration will push thru. He was after all George Harrison's best friend (they shared the same wife). Dylan's lyrics, McCartney's music and Clapton's guitar playing would be something to look forward to. I'm a great Beatle fan, but Ringo was never a great drummer.
If such a recording would take place, I'd expect an acoustic-heavy collaboration. I can't imagine these artists producing a heavily-plugged-in song at this stage in their careers.
By the way, for Beatlemaniacs, I just saw Salonga guitars selling a Hofner bass copy by RJ guitars. It's expensive at php25 thou. EDZ can custom-make one for around php12thou.
^Harrison and Clapton: Husbands-in-law. old joke pero tawa gihapon ko hahahha
McCartney always enjoyed commercial success but has been criticized for his popsy and "meaningless" solo work. However, his two biggest collaborations - Ebony and Ivory with Stevie Wonder and 3 songs with Michael Jackson - were technically admired and praised.
He played on all instruments in the album Tug of War, where Ebony and Ivory came out. And listen to the bass line of "Girl is Mine". That's a classic Mowtown riff.
hehehehe, Beatle fan ko bro, but not fanatic. In several biographies of the Beatles and by John and Paul after the breakup, they said that they loved Ringo but music-wise, he was not a top-level drummer. Listen closely to his drum playing and you'll notice he seldom does full rolls. In Paul McCartney's bio, he mentioned that he didn't mind that but it did limit their percussions in their later albums. That's why after Rubber Soul, they employed a lot of session drummers.
I saw several Ringo performances late in his career and I noticed that even if there is a full 8-12 piece drumset on-stage, he only uses 4-5 pieces. I guess that's because he was more of a performing drummer rather than a recording drummer.
Ringo was great when performing on tour. But when the Beatles decided to stop live performances, he kindda ceased to expand his skills. When the Beatles started experimenting and using brass and horn instruments, the drum percussion was at a minimum. Except during the White Album recordings, Ringo was virtually absent. Even the much edited Let It Be sessions saw session drummers dubbing the percussions.
