Even an artist as big as Ringo Starr<\/a> has had moments where he felt starstruck.\u00a0<\/p>\n All of The Beatles had started out as humble fans of music before they started rubbing elbows with their idols, and to this day, Starr never ceases to find it thrilling playing with the biggest names in music. But even with everyone he\u2019s been able to work with in the All-Starr Band, the drumming legend isn\u2019t prone to a few interactions where he was left a little bit disappointed by the end of things.<\/p>\n But to anyone who thinks any less of him, let\u2019s get one thing straight: The Beatles would have been NOTHING without Starr. As much as people rag on him for being the least talented member and that he was easily replaceable, all it takes is one listen to the Pete Best<\/a> versions of their early songs to know something was missing. Starr brought that little bit of swagger into the group, and even if he wasn\u2019t the most prolific songwriter in the world, the chemistry he had with the rest of the Fabs was undeniable.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s the one element that usually goes unnoticed by the general public as well. Starr could have easily kept on making the best music that he could and hoping that everyone liked it, but the fact that he could adapt and get along so well with every one of the band members is the reason why they all wanted to have him back on their solo records every now and again. <\/p>\n When the band was slowly becoming the biggest thing in America, though, not everyone was exactly a fan. There were already adults with too many sticks up their asses to understand the appeal of the group, but when seeing how quickly they were becoming the biggest band in the world, it was enough to have people like Elvis Presley break out into a cold sweat. He was the biggest name in the world, but one superstar was going to be no match for four charismatic musicians at once.<\/p>\n Then again, Presley did know how to keep things formal most of the time. The band were able to meet Presley on his home turf in Graceland, and Paul McCartney even remembered teaching the rock legend a few tricks about playing the bass, but when Starr looked back on the whole ordeal, he couldn\u2019t help but feel just a little bit bummed at how much Presley seemed to carry a bit of resentment towards them.<\/p>\n
