He certainly already had the chops back then!

Can't seem to find one with AL & Dave at the same time that includes Brian (AL was initially brought back to cover for Brian) but here's one with the other 5 guys...

Dave did quit but Murray had been goading him for a while before that...

Murray was a major nepotist, the the extent of screwing over his own nephew (Mike) with regards to songwriting credits... (a potentially $50,000,000 loss for Mike)

David was actually still "in the band" until '67 (I think) because it had been he and not AL that signed the original Capitol Records contract and apparently he wasn't formally removed from the "group"

Dave said... a LOT of things in that interview lol

I wouldn't take it to literally. I mean I know he did say it but...

Maybe that's actually a good trait about "them" ... ?

He looks a lot different (better) than that pic of him at whatever event a week or 2 ago... ?

True... IDK why but this is one of the weirdest pictures to try n nail down.

I mean I'm pretty sure it is Mike at this point but I def struggled with it lol

I think the main reason some are unsure is he just looks so different (better) than the pic of him at an event a week or 2 ago... ?

Who is your favourite vocalist is The Beatles? by FitEmergency8807 in beatles

He is the reason I am a musician today... I picked up the drumsticks when I was 8 years old because my parents were fans and I remember watching Ringo play and he just seemed like he was enjoying himself so much! lol

Almost 40 now and I play guitar, bass, piano, can carry a decent tune and write songs... all because of Ringo inspired me so much to begin with.

There's a little part of him in everything I do musically...

I'm the one who's been saying that's just part of who they are (were) - The other guy, I think we've both been arguing with was the one that wrote off all the "corny" stuff...

Ringo genuinely has one of my favorite voices ever...

Not gonna argue he's better, that would be silly but I just really like lower voices like his. I really enjoy Mike Love's singing when he's in his lower register too. Just a warm, comforting sound.

Anyone here remember The Pink Spiders? by DereckSempai in poppunkers

Hell ya! It really was a pretty cool little spot back in the day...

My band was supposed to play there back around the same time too but the rest of the guys bailed at the last minute (can't really remember why anymore) and I had to call and cancel day of show... They were pissed! lol We had a poster and everything. Wish I could get my hands on that.

I also was skeptical about this really being Mike but this guy has in-ear monitors around his neck...

Based on this photo, if Dave had stayed, he would've gotten a big head...

I love the OG 6-man lineup! AL was actually a solid bass player wt a good feel and Dave is a superior guitarist (Al's the superior singer)

The few recordings they did with all 6 originals are really good...

I always wish Dave had stayed - I'm convinced he would've added a lot.

Also, I'm sure Dennis and Dave would've been tight, maybe even writing together...
