Top 6 Bandas De Rock Que Ringo Starr Más Odiaba!

Top 6 Rock Bands Ringo Starr Hated the Most! When most people think of Ringo Starr, the first thing that comes to mind is his friendly image, his easygoing smile, and that steady rhythm that brought songs like "Come Together" to life. He always came across as the most laid-back of the Beatles. Peace and love, thumbs up, and zero drama. That guy who seemed to get along with everyone. But behind that friendly, easygoing image was a seasoned musician with some pretty clear opinions about his colleagues… although he almost never shared them publicly. According to people close to him, Ringo had his own musical radar, and when he didn't like something, he wasn't afraid to say so—at least behind closed doors. Today I'm going to tell you which bands, according to those close to him, drove Ringo crazy. Some of them were incredibly famous groups, respected by millions, but for him, they simply didn't measure up. Number 6: The Monkees We begin with a band that was seen from the start as a cheap Beatles copycat. The Monkees were born as a television product, assembled to follow the formula of the Liverpool quartet. And that, of course, didn't sit well with Ringo. According to Beatles roadie Mal Evans, it all started when Ringo saw an episode of The Monkees in 1966. After watching it, he turned around and said something like, “They stole our haircuts, our humor, and even our musical style... but at least they hired a real drummer.” That was a direct jab at Mickey Dolenz, who, although he didn't play the drums seriously at first, later stepped up his game. Ringo respected the musicians... but not the concept behind the band. For him, The Monkees were like a parody. And when they started writing their own music and playing their instruments, Ringo saw it as if puppets had suddenly started saying they had no strings. On a tour in the United States, a journalist asked him about the Monkees, and Ringo, according to the story, turned to George Harrison and muttered, “The next person who asks me about those TV musicians, I’ll stick a drumstick in their eye.” Number 5: Led Zeppelin Many wouldn’t imagine it, but according to several close associates, Ringo also had his reservations about none other than Led Zeppelin. And even more so, about their star drummer: John Bonham. It all started in 1968, when Bonham and Jimmy Page participated as session musicians on a project Ringo was working on. Sound engineer Eddie Kramer recalls that, while Bonham was doing his thing, Ringo looked at him and muttered, “This guy doesn’t know if he’s playing the drums or fighting with them. It’s not a war.”
