I was hanging out with my hero,” Zak Starkey said. He wasn’t crazy in any way, except for that look in his eye. He was a really fantastic guy to hang out with. We would just hang out and talk about anything, really–girls, surfing, bands, drums. When my brother, sister, and I used to stay with my dad there, we would occasionally spend a few days at Keith’s house. It was so different and it sounded so alive. Then when I was eight, I discovered The Who’s Meaty Beaty Big And Bouncy. I loved all of those ’70s glam bands from England, like Slade and Sweet. That was it for me I wanted to be Marc Bolan. I would spend my days listening to records. You would go into the living room and find stacks and stacks of LPs. When I was very young there was music all around me in my parents’ house. I wanted to play the drums because of Keith.
“Keith Moon was my first big influence, definitely. Talking with Modern Drummer in 2006, the musician said that Moon was his first big influence. Starkey joined The Who in 1996 and since then he is the band’s drummer. He was only 13 years-old when The Who’s drummer tragically died and was replaced by Kenney Jones in the band. The Ringo Starr son said that Keith Moon was the reason why he decided to play the drumsĪs Ringo Starr said, his son Zak Starkey grew up hanging out with Keith Moon. The two of them did, and they were my friends,” Ringo Starr said. It’s not that all drummers are like that. It is thanks to the two of them if we drummers have the reputation of decerebrates. For my parents it was Uncle Keith and for a time he lived with us, more or less. “And Keith, he was a beautiful person, but we all took stuff and he was no exception. It could have been day or night, but he would come and throw me in the pool.” When I moved to Los Angeles in the 70s and the Led Zeppelins passed through the city, Bonham had this fixed nail so he had to take the car, come to my house, pick me up and throw me in the pool. In 2020 Rolling Stone asked Ringo Starr which drummer was the most reckless: The Who’s Keith Moon or Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham. Nicknamed “Moon The Loon”, Keith Moon was also known for his wild way to party, destroying hotel rooms, driving cars into a swiming pool and much more. Which one was the most reckless according to Ringo Starr: Bonham or Moon I mean, mine is like the complete opposite of the way he played, but the style made it work, and his style made The Who work,” Ringo Starr said.ĭuring a conversation with Drum Magazine back in 1972, Keith Moon praised Starr, saying that he was one of his favorites drummers and that his “bass drum work” was great.
That style worked so incredibly amazingly for the band he was in. He was one of my best friends, he was great, he had his style. But when the Beatle was asked by Cincinnati in 2016 if he was a fan of Moon’s playing, he surprisingly said no. Ringo Starr was a good friend of Keith Moon and curiously, The Who’s drummer was the main influence of Starr’s son Zak Starkey when he was a little kid and decided to learn the drums. Look for this film on YouTube.What is Ringo Starr’s opinion on The Who’s Keith Moon The only thing that is the same is the title - that's it.
#Ringo starr son movie
Also keep in mind this movie is NOT a remake of Son of Dracula (1943) starring Lon Chaney Jr. Keep in mind this film is a musical comedy if you chose to watch it - a musical comedy horror/fantasy to be more exact - the film does not take itself seriously, it's made for fun/comedy - to entertain. Harry is Count Downe a musician that falls in love with a mortal woman and he is the Son of Dracula (Dracula is played by Dan Meaden). I really enjoy hearing Harry Nilsson sing and play. I don't know what kind of a cult following there is for this film - if any at all but it's a film you would think has gathered a following no matter how small the the following. This movie has never been released to DVD which surprises me. I'm guessing it was a late night movie on some station in the 1980s when I watched this film the first time. I know I have seen this film years ago - memories are vague but I remember seeing it after watching it again on YouTube.
