His
name
was
Pete
Best
.
And
in
1962
,
after
landing
their
first
record
contract
,
the
other
three
members
of
the
Beatles
quietly
got
together
and
asked
their
manager
,
Brian
Epstein
,
to
fire
him
.
Epstein
agonized
over
the
decision
.
He
liked
Pete
,
so
he
put
it
off
,
hoping
the
other
three
guys
would
change
their
minds
.
Months
later
,
a
mere
three
days
before
the
recording
of
the
first
record
began
,
Epstein
finally
called
Best
to
his
office
.
There
,
the
manager
unceremoniously
told
him
to
piss
off
and
find
another
band
.
He
gave
no
reason
,
no
explanation
,
no
condolences
—
just
told
him
that
the
other
guys
wanted
him
out
of
the
group
,
so
,
uh
,
best
of
luck
.
As
a
replacement
,
the
band
brought
in
some
oddball
named
Ringo
Starr
.
Ringo
was
older
and
had
a
big
,
funny
nose
.
Ringo
agreed
to
get
the
same
ugly
haircut
as
John
,
Paul
,
and
George
,
and
insisted
on
writing
songs
about
octopuses
and
submarines
.
The
other
guys
said
,
Sure
,
fuck
it
,
why
not
?
Within
six
months
of
Best
’
s
firing
,
Beatlemania
had
erupted
,
making
John
,
Paul
,
George
,
and
Pete
Ringo
arguably
four
of
the
most
famous
faces
on
the
entire
planet
.
Meanwhile
,
Best
understandably
fell
into
a
deep
depression
and
spent
a
lot
of
time
doing
what
any
Englishman
will
do
if
you
give
him
a
reason
to
:
drink
.
The
rest
of
the
sixties
were
not
kind
to
Pete
Best
.
By
1965
,
he
had
sued
two
of
the
Beatles
for
slander
,
and
all
of
his
other
musical
projects
had
failed
horribly
.
In
1968
,
he
attempted
suicide
,
only
to
be
talked
out
of
it
by
his
mother
.
His
life
was
a
wreck
.
Best
didn
’
t
have
the
same
redemptive
story
Dave
Mustaine
did
.
He
never
became
a
global
superstar
or
made
millions
of
dollars
.
Yet
,
in
many
ways
,
Best
ended
up
better
off
than
Mustaine
.
In
an
interview
in
1994
,
Best
said
,
“
I
’
m
happier
than
I
would
have
been
with
the
Beatles
.
”
What
the
hell
?
Best
explained
that
the
circumstances
of
his
getting
kicked
out
of
the
Beatles
ultimately
led
him
to
meet
his
wife
.
And
then
his
marriage
led
him
to
having
children
.
His
values
changed
.
He
began
to
measure
his
life
differently
.
Fame
and
glory
would
have
been
nice
,
sure
—
but
he
decided
that
what
he
already
had
was
more
important
:
a
big
and
loving
family
,
a
stable
marriage
,
a
simple
life
.
He
even
still
got
to
play
drums
,
touring
Europe
and
recording
albums
well
into
the
2000s
.
