Subject: RE: How many Fifth Beatles were there? From: Ross Date: 07 Jun 06 - 04:51 AM ooo - evidently Eric Clapton was the first non beatle to record wiff um Then he ran off with the wife - must have been a stag beetle Marlon Brando was a beetle in the film about motor bikes & leather jackets - 1950's film Steptoe's Dad played the grizzly git ib a Hard Day's Night |
Subject: RE: How many Fifth Beatles were there? From: woodsie Date: 07 Jun 06 - 05:12 AM If Eric Clapton was the first non-beetle to record who was playing the violins and other stuff on their records. Also you will find that Steve Marroitt played guitar on some stuff and Vince Prince played drums on some of the earliest records! Everybody knows that Dave Kenningham was the 5th Beatle. |
Subject: RE: How many Fifth Beatles were there? From: Ross Date: 07 Jun 06 - 05:25 AM Good point |

Subject: RE: How many Fifth Beatles were there? From: Cool Beans Date: 07 Jun 06 - 10:39 AM The Fifth Beatle, like the mythical 12th Man at an American football game, is someone from the crowd so loyal to the team that he or she is willing to step in as a replacement. In other words, any one of us. |
Subject: RE: How many Fifth Beatles were there? From: pdq Date: 07 Jun 06 - 10:58 AM The 'fifth Beatle' has to be Yoko Ono...er, a Japanese Beatle (Popillia japonica). |

Subject: RE: How many Fifth Beatles were there? From: GUEST,VizReader Date: 07 Jun 06 - 04:35 PM Quite right michaelr - Stuart Sutcliffe, who died young,is the one. My only fame to claim was I once kissed his sister. I was five or was it six! Are you there Pauline? Vizreader |

Subject: RE: How many Fifth Beatles were there? From: Fullerton Date: 08 Jun 06 - 05:02 AM The first fifth beatle was Mr. Joe Flannery. |
Subject: RE: How many Fifth Beatles were there? From: number 6 Date: 08 Jun 06 - 11:22 AM Wasn't a boot a beatle too? sIx |
Subject: RE: How many Fifth Beatles were there? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 08 Jun 06 - 11:39 AM Most of Peter and Gordon's hits were Lennon/McCartney compositions that weren't deemed album-worthy by the Beatles. That should qualify them for some sort of honorary Beatle status. |

Subject: RE: How many Fifth Beatles were there? From: Kenneth Ingham Date: 08 Jun 06 - 07:26 PM I read a few years ago in an article in MOJO that Steve Marriott played guitar on some Stones & Beatles stuff bur wasn't credited. On the 3 CD set of LONDON singles you will see that he IS credited on one track (the weird Bill Wyman one) But I haven't seen any other reference to him on the Beatles. But it was definitely mentioned in the MOJO article. I think it was Sgt Pepper which would pre-date Clapton's stuff! |
Subject: RE: How many Fifth Beatles were there? From: Peter T. Date: 08 Jun 06 - 09:28 PM Yes, well, what of all the Indian musicians who helped George on various albums, and Dennis Brain who did the Penny Lane solo...... yours, Peter T. |
Subject: RE: How many Fifth Beatles were there? From: pdq Date: 08 Jun 06 - 09:48 PM The chances of Dennis Brain having done "the Penny Lane solo" are not very good as the man died in a car wreck in 1957. |
Subject: RE: How many Fifth Beatles were there? From: Margret RoadKnight Date: 08 Jun 06 - 10:27 PM What about Bert, as 'documented' in the musical "John, Paul, George, Ringo.... and Bert"? Billy Preston remains the most worthy credited claimant! |
