How did Ringo Starr join the beatles?
Lennon, McCartney and Harrison met Ringo Starr in Hamburg and, occasionally, Ringo would play drums for them. McCartney and, particularly, Harrison recognised that he was a better drummer than the incumbent (Pete Best) and that Ringo's personality fitted the other Beatles - Pete Best was something of a "loner" in the band. At that time, Ringo was probably the best drummer in Liverpool; he had been a professional drummer for some time. When the Beatles auditioned for George Martin, he told the Beatles' manager (Brian Epstein) that he would have to use a session drummer for the recording sessions - if you listen to the Pete Best "version" of Please Please Me from the Anthology project, you can hear that the timing is a bit variable. It may well have been the audition and the imminent signing of the band that prompted John, Paul and George to approach Ringo (Lennon actually called Ringo), when Ringo accepted, they told Brian Epstein to sack Pete Best. George Harrison later said that, history shows they hadn't treated Best very well, but history also showed that they'd picked the right drummer.
Has Ringo Starr been arrested?

Is Ringo Starr cool?
I don't think so, as I'm from near Liverpool. He said there isn't anything at all he misses about living in the city, and won't sign ANY fan mail that people send him. So, I don't like himJust to clarify... Ringo Starr no longer autographs items sent to him to be signed; he did so for over 45 years, and it's understandable that he would be tired. He will sign items purchased through his online store, before they are sent out. He is not the first, nor the only, celebrity to want something in return for his autograph, and who can blame him? He is not as rich as many people seem to think. (Who signs fan mail sent to them?)

John was playing with his band the Quarrymen at a village fete in 1957. Paul had heard they were good, and went to see them with his guitar. He impressed John, who invited him to join a couple of weeks later. Paul and George had shared a bus journey for some time, and also shared a love of the guitar. George hung around with the Quarrymen, and eventually got to play with them and become a member. The other Quarrymen gradually left for various reasons, and the band went through a number of names before settling on the Beatles in 1960.

Is Pete Best still alive?
pete best was a member in the beatles He was the original drummer that they had before Ringo replaced him...they wanted to get a record but the company said he wasn't good enough. They found Ringo a while later. Pete Best was not fired because of the record company. The record company wanted to use a session drummer on records, but keep Best for live shows. The record company didn't even want Ringo to play at first, so that was not the reason. Best was the Beatles drummer for 2 years, and was very popular among fans in the early days at live shows in their home town of Liverpool and when they toured the Hamburg clubs in Germany. Indeed when he was fired his fans protested at Beatles gigs with sign posts that read things like "Pete is Best" and "Pete forever, Ringo never".
