Its true the Beatles were not the best musicians Bernard Purdie was the drummer for loads of their records

That has been debunked many times. At best he may have overdubbed a few parts on stuff they recorded in Hamburg that were later released in the US after they hit the big time i.e. with Pete Best and pre-Ringo.

Ringo played on all their sessions from 62-70. Mark Lewisohn's excellent 'The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions' details that.

I think Purdie is a great drummer and obviously a very confident man when you see him speak.

The collective internet seems to agree though that he is in fact a massive bullshitter

Sorry, I was repeating nonsense.

The Beatles are still crap though

Not sure if this is true or not, but made me smile.

Yep it’s true. I’d like to say that he didn’t know what he was talking about but of course he did.
So why did he say it ? Because at the time he was being eclipsed by the Beatles and he was throwing his toys out of the pram. Pompous arse.

Strong and stable my arse.
