Talk:Jimmie Nicol

message: Not sure about the playing in a Liverpool band bit. My research has him living in London at the time he was approached to stand in for Ringo. Epstein and Martin discussed the possibility of using a stand in, and Martin suggested Nicol as he had recently done a Tommy Quickly session with him. Nicol had also drummed on a budget label album called "Beatlemania" and knew the songs. The whole thing happened very quickly, from a phone call to attend a run through at Abbey Road studios to packing his bags all in the same day. Nicol used Ringo's suit and apparently had to peg the jacket! He thought that after this he would be made for life but just like Pete Best he was to realise that you were either in or out, there was nothing in between. Actually, I would be quite happy to research this properly if anyone thinks that it would be useful. I will need advice though as I am a novice on Wikipedia.

message: Since other temporary members of the Beatles are categorized as such, shouldn't Nicol be as well?--SupermanFan97 (talk) 00:19, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

text: Exactly! This cannot be made clear enough, especially to certain session musicians hired to play on Beatle recordings who later whinged that the Fabs ‘made millions’ while they just got a standard fee. They’d get the same fee for their work on a record by a ‘nothing’ band that failed to chart. Would they give back the cash? Hire a builder, pay his fee, but he doesn’t get another payment when you sell your house.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:44B8:3102:BB00:CDB6:38DE:7626:B2CC (talk) 05:39, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: He performed as the bands drummer in eight concerts and one TV show at the height of Beatlemania (five more concerts than Norman Chapman and four more than Chas Newby). Drummed at eight of the 30 concerts of The Beatles' 1964 world tour. Seems to qualify. Randy Kryn (talk) 05:36, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't agree with the concept of a "temporary members" section as I'm pretty sure they didn't consider themselves temporary members at the time. But I think, in this example, if all of the other full members consider someone an equal member then that qualifies which, in this instance with Nicol, doesn't meet that criteria.

replies: text: In 1964 he was a Beatle for eight of the 30 shows of their first major and historic international tour. Hired or not, he was a Beatle for a key part of their iconic 1964-65 exposure. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:05, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
