IT may be 37 years since The Beatles split but Ringo Starr admits he is still haunted by Sir Paul McCartney�s occasional attempts to replace him as the group�s drummer.
Ringo, 67, who last week opened Liverpool�s European City of Culture celebrations, confesses he was no fan of Macca�s performances at the drum kit during the Fab Four�s heyday. Paul, who has regularly banged the sticks for his subsequent solo recordings, played drums on Beatles tracks Back In The USSR, Dear Prudence and The Ballad Of John And Yoko. And when asked for his verdict on those ditties, Ringo replies: "I hide them. Ooh, that Paul!
"Every time I went for a cup of tea, he was on the drums. You couldn�t get the bugger off. I wasn�t there for those songs. It wasn�t like I was in the room and he did it. I�d left or something had happened, and so he would play. But he�s not half as good as me. He�s an incredible bass player, but he�s not a great drummer. George Harrison had his own way of playing drums, John Lennon had his own way of playing them, too. They�d hit them about a bit but they couldn�t really play."
Thank goodness they were not as rude about your singing, Ringo.
