maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted September 20, 2019 So, reading an interview with Giles Martin who remastered Abbey Road for reissue this year. One thing that surprised him, and a few Beatle fans apparently is how much of the original album was recorded live (as in live in the studio) and then given minimal overdubs. Amongst the tracks on which they're all playing together are some with the subtle and sensitive percussion - like Sun King - and a few tight little gems like Mean Mr Mustard. The point as far as this thread is concerned being they couldn't have done that with a dodgy drummer! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,595 Posted July 27, 2021 It helps being vegan, sober and have money based off 60+ years of recording music, being a businessman and voice of Thomas the Tank Engine. Also he collects post cards. Because for some reason I have that book of his where he shows his collection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinegar Tits 606 Posted July 27, 2021 The glasses and facial hair probably hide the worst evidence of old rheumy eyes and jowls admittedly, and I'm not entirely convinced his hair is all his own but he is in incredibly good nick bodily. A healthy lifestyle obviously suits him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's Joe Walsh lining up with Ringo and Barbara early on - he's cleaned up from a dangerously dissolute state too and doesn't look too bad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing considering how ill he was as a kid and the state of his alcoholism half his life ago - he might be the last Beatle standing. Elasticated waistband on the kecks, mind - seeking a little comfort in his old age. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
