The Beatles before fame - photo thread!

Star-Club, Hamburg:

 

With Roy Young on piano at the Star-Club, 1962. Interestingly, many years later, Roy Young played on Bowie's LOW album:

 

With Bruce Channel ("Hey Baby") and Delbert McClinton (who helped to teach John some tricks on the harmonica):

 

I thought that was Bob Wooler..

 

Pete Best is the most handsome in the group.

 

With Gene Vincent:

 

Mean, Moody, and Magnificent ...

 

I beg to differ.

 

It could be... Any young kid has that quality in their own way. No wonder John and him doesn't get along. But I'm happy he finally got his recognition and some parts of the royalty.

 

No how are you gonna gig with that piano from place to place?

 

Pete has always said that he and John did get along, they occasionally had a beer without the others. Pete and George never got along, Paul a little, Stu and he were OK.

No judgement. I'm 18 and still look 12, so George has me beat.

 

I assume Ringo was in Rory Storm and the Hurricanes when this picture was taken?

 

And the moodiest. ...

 

Bless to John where he is. But we all know that he has some occasional mood in sort of speak...

 

Hey no judgment from me, either! I'm 33 and look probably 25 ...

 

Assuming this is from 1957 then Paul would be 15 and George would be 14.

 

Looking at these pix, it's so cool to see how much fun they were having, and how close they really were.

 

Yes, it is 1957

 

Times change.. When Pierce Brosnan was on the scene and one the best looking guy in show business. Now its different. Women prefer Caveman, Mr. Clean or Judas....
