Imagine having an argument with one of your best friends, and 52 years later it’s discussed and dissected in a YouTube video.

Ringo Starr: The World's Most Patient Drummer

When George said “You don’t annoy me anymore.” That says everything.
-
It's unfortunately a no win situation. George at this point seemed desperate to leave, and was looking for a way out, and Paul knew it, but was fighting as hard as he could to keep it together. Lennon was lost to drugs and Ringo was actually the glue that probably resulted in Let It Be getting finished! Mad to think but never underestimate the importance of Ringo, he was everyone's mate and I think they all enjoyed being around him
-
I like how when they are speaking you list the 4 Beatles on a black screen and place the text of their conversation beside the person speaking. That is a brilliant idea and it helps a lot.

"Let's simplify it, and then complicate it where it needs complicating." That is advice that more songwriters, arrangers and engineers need to hear.
-
I was expecting Ringo to chime in and suggest something, and then the three of them simultaneously say "Shut up, Ringo"

I feel bad for George, when he came in with the song my me mine, he seemed so excited, but the rest of the guys didn’t show much interest…. So much so that George finally said dejectedly “it’s ok if you don’t like it, I’ll use it on my solo album”. He reminded me of a child that is so excited to bring home and show his parents his artwork that he made in school, and his parents didn’t give him the reaction that he was hoping for….
-
"Do you want to do 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer?" surely a sentence George never said again.
-
Seriously, is this the most polite “argument” in the history of rock? When I think “argument”, I envision yelling, name calling, f-bombs, etc. This is just going through the motions.

Paul: I always hear myself annoying you George: you’re not annoying me anymore John: *strums Ringo: *thinking about being in the octopuses garden
-
I just love how casually George calls Paul ‘Paulina’
-
It's weird to hear John not being the argumentative one and just observing in the background
-
Ringo made some great points
-
It was great to finally see the entire "argument". As presented in "Let It Be", it appeared way more contentious and ugly. But when viewed in its full context, it was simply a creative disagreement.
-
After loving Two Of Us for most of my life, hearing how it comes together is even more magical. They’re frustration thinking that they’re in a stalemate when you can actually hear it being sculpted and coming together.. even through the chaos.

George : "You don't annoy me anymore":. That says everything.
-
George: dyou wanna do maxwell's silver hammer? John : strums aggressively to distract them
-
Paul seems like that one person in the group project that tries to get everyone to do their part but having to do 90% of the work in the end
-
Ringo has recently said we wouldn't have made so much music if it wasn't for Paul. You can see he is really the musical director and I guess the unofficial band leader in the last few years. He had to be the true task master to kinda push things along.
