Ringo Starr on his son Zak joining the Who

Proud papa Ringo

[IJustFiguredThisOut]

He is 100% right, Zak joining the Who gave them energy that they were missing, he is a great drummer

[erinmcgee]

The fact that Zak called him "Uncle Keith" is the cutest thing ever.

[haygraphics]

That's absolutely right. He did give that band a kick. Zak brought back the sort of spark that hadn't been there since Moon died.

Zak Starkey is a fantastic drummer and his Papa Ringo is a LEGEND . Ringo Starr For President in Italy, NOW! 

[dreagin]

I started playing drums because I heard Ringo on the Beatles songs. From that point on his drumming provided me the blueprint to playing drums within a song. Ringo contributed far more to drumming than most people realize. He was an original at the way he plays and it's something that was not taught in a music school. Also, he has a meter like a metronome.

Zak Starkey Is a brillant drummer! He really deserves to be a full Partner/member of the Who he's been with the band for 21 years and He's such a brillant drummer.

[Yunglizard]

Zak is such an amazing drummer... I saw the Who in november, and he was phenomenal.

[jackcane]

Now Zak is the greatest Keith Moon type drummer in the world.

[babyshambler]

Mr Starr is spot on! Zak provided a much needed spark.

[adriannehocker]

How extraordinarily sweet. Love Ringo, and Zak is a supremely talented young man.

[Maryonpark]

Is Ringo under contract to say Peace and Love every 10 minutes or something?

[ppaul]

Zak is apart of The Who! I flew from the States to see The Who at Hyde Park in '96 playing to 500, 000 fans. Zak was on drums for the first time with the band. He has earned the right to be called a member (whether official or not). The Who are my favorite band ever, so than you Zak for playing awesome skins and helping this band continue!!!!

[ChrisBmufc]

Zak is a superb drummer. Played with Oasis too. Top of the tree stuff

[toicat]

Could not agree more. Zak is very much the natural successor to Keith Moon. Long live rock !

[CusterFlux]

"He gave that band the kick they needed", bullseye, Zak's been great for The Who.

[beekay]

Saw The Who five or six years ago, and they played every one of their hits, from the beginning. Zak was outstanding, more than adequate to the task, There will never be another Keith Moon, but Zak is a hell of a drummer.

[NicholasSadlier]

Saw The Who 3 weeks ago - Zak Starkey - 20 year Who drummer rocks - bought a pair of Zak Starkey signature drum sticks at the gig!

[robertsheppard]

I wish I could meet Ringo Starr he's so cool

[michaelsjoblom]

Paul McCartney said in an interview a couple of years ago that Keith Moon was such a gentleman with kids. If The Who knew kids was coming they took away all drinks and pills, only leaving coke (lemonade haha) on the table. Zacky is better for the Who than mr. Jones. Nothing wrong with Kenney, but... Love.

[isaiahangelo]

Why the ragging on what Ringo said about Zak giving the kick the Who needed?! Even Roger said that when Zak joined, "It was like Moonie was alive again!"
