Hotplant Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Ringo announced in a BIG way he hill chuck any fan mail on some specific day and will not sign anything ever again. NO Autographs he says. WTF?! Your thoughts? Personally I say so what...I never wanted his anyway. Maybe he is in deep need of attention. Dunno, sounds absolutely ridiculous to have to say that in such an arrogant way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knebby Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Like Lennon said, he wasn't even the best drummer in the band. He's a pr*ck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHD Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I watched the video on his website and I'd be pretty pissed off now if I was a Ringo fan. In fact, I expect he has quite a few ex-fans now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquamarine Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 When I think of all the Beatles pin-ups I had on my wall when I was younger-- I've now mentally torn him out of all of them. From now on it's John, Paul, George and X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilith Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I think he'd be better off moving to the Island of Sodor. (Don't know if this reference will cross the Atlantic successfully, so apologies to anyone who doesn't know what I'm on about!) What a tosser.

ally Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I wonder if he's started drinking again. Sounds like that kind of statement too me. If not, then he really is an asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I expect he has quite a few ex-fans now. My youngest daughter and her friends, who are Beatles fans, watched this earlier this week and they were upset. In addition to upsetting his fans with his statements about the autographs, he apparently angered the citizens of Liverpool by making disparaging remarks about the city.

L 7 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Oh My My its still time for a Back Off Bugalo but judging from this Photograph Yassar and Ringo are twins sperated at birth. Yassar?

eternal light Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Perhaps not the best choice of words but he probably had his reasons, unless it was just a publicity stunt. Check out the youtube at 0:20 and 1:09. If you think Zeppelin fans are bad...

SteveAJones Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 My youngest daughter and her friends, who are Beatles fans, watched this earlier this week and they were upset. In addition to upsetting his fans with his statements about the autographs, he apparently angered the citizens of Liverpool by making disparaging remarks about the city. All he said about Liverpool was there wasn't anything he missed about it. I think that is understandable given he's led a posh existence in LA for decades now. Insofar as the autographs he's among many who have essentially stopped signing anything on account of ebay. They're fed with taking the time to sign just so someone else can profit from it. He also realizes John is gone, George is gone and he and Paul are getting on, so he feels like he's running out of time. At least he's straightforward and honest.

Perhaps he shouldn't have titled his last album Liverpool 8, then. He appeared to me to be straightforward, honest, unpleasant, and slightly drunk.

JTM Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 They shoulda kept Pete Best Oh really !!!! .... So you saw the Beatles with Pete Best did you ?... I don't think so. Not looking right was not the only reason he never kept the gig you know. As for Ringo.. Leave him alone, he can say what he likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef free Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I thought that Ringo ALWAYS answered ALL fan mail (I saw it on the Simpsons, more accurate than Wikipedia!). Maybe he's just tired of it. He's an under-rated "rock steady" type drummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
