∙ 12y ago"In Spite of all the Danger" was credited to McCartney/Harrison.
In April 1976, when McCartney visited Lennon in New York, and they watched "Saturday Night Live" together. (This was the first night SNL producer Lorne Michaels made his tongue-in-cheek offer of $3200, for the Beatles to reunite on the show. Lennon and McCartney nearly went, just for a laugh, but were too tired.) McCartney returned on a subsequent visit, and Lennon turned him away at the door: "Look, it's not 1956 and people don't just come over anymore." It was nothing against McCartney; Lennon simply wasn't in a visiting mood, and wished McCartney would have called first, instead of just dropping by.

What Goes On by Lennon, McCartney, Starr.
Officially, when they called themselves the Beatles, and not the Quarrymen, or the Silver Beatles, the line up was John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stu Suttcliff, and Pete Best.
If your talking about their age then Ringo Starr was first, then John Lennon, Paul McCartney, then George Harrison. If your talking about the order of when they became members it's John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, then Ringo Starr.
Liverpool, England. 1960. Outside of the Quarry Bank High School. At John Lennon's Quarrymen concert.
He was about fourteen when he started playing regularly in John Lennon's original band, The Quarry Men. They later became the Beatles.
He formed The Beatles with Paul McCartney and others, first called the Quarrymen, then into The Beatles, where the members of the band have changed into John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr in 1962, which marked their beginning.
"I Lost My Little Girl", which he wrote at fifteen and played soon after to his new bandmate John Lennon. The song wasn't remarkable, but it started Lennon and McCartney on their writing partnership, which was always a friendly rivalry. The song remained unpublished and unperformed until McCartney's 1992 MTV Unplugged concert.
John Lennon told Tom Snyder in 1975 that he used to watch girls screaming for Elvis Presley and other performers, and Lennon thought "That's a good job." (One of the reasons Lennon asked Paul McCartney to join his band is because McCartney resembled Elvis.)
John Lennon and Paul McCartney both wrote songs with the title "Woman". McCartney's came first, credited to "Bernard Webb", and was recorded by Peter and Gordon; never by the Beatles. Lennon's came later, and appeared on Double Fantasy, the last album he released before his death in 1980.
