Why shouldn't John Lennon be in that line-up? He was still the lead vocalist, guitar, piano and songwriter -- Surachit 09:32, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Since pre-Beatles line-ups are listed, why shouldn't we list post-Beatles line-ups? Really, this is very related to something I'm trying to work out how to do here on Wikipedia, which is rock family trees. I've tried talking about doing this in one of the projects pages but no response. Maybe it was the wrong place, or very inactive project. Can anyone help me find the right place, or an active project? Thanks. -- luckymustard 11:45, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
I propose that we substitute this listing of line-ups with a tree that I have created, User:Eric Jack Nash/Sandbox/BeatlesTree. I'll make this change in a day or so if no one objects. Thanks. -- luckymustard 15:39, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Great Job.Really.

Ringo's All-Starr Band? Ringo and the Roundheads? Shouldn't these be added to Ringo's post-Beatles thing? SOmeone should also add the Traveling Wilburies to George's. Monkeyfinger 05:21, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
This is wrong. Pete Shotton was in it, I´m sure. -- andreasegde 16:17, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Chaz Newby played with The Beatles in the Casbah after they came back from Hamburg. -- andreasegde 12:06, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Almost two months ago, Andreasegde rewrote the article in tree format. I have just restored the original chart-style format of the article (with a few modifications). The tree format was an interesting concept, but I think a lot of people would find the chart format easier to read. -- 71.96.186.14 20:58, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
okay I am a moron first of all I screwed up the formatting for that chart but I have creditted information to put in there because john worked with more people
We have some good contributions ( example) coming in (some of it from The Complete Beatles Chronicle) that don't fit well in The Beatles. It's all lineup-related, and I was wondering if some changes in this article could be made to house it. Proposals:
Would either of these be okay? Is it too much? Is this the wrong article to even try this? / edgarde 01:02, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Missing are the lineup dates from Feb 1959 thru Sep 1959. Even if this was an inactive period, it should be noted. Best, -- Discographer ( talk) 20:14, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
The article currently treats Starr's walkout in 1968 as creating a separate lineup. I think that's going too far; McCartney got angry and walked out of a session in 1966 and didn't participate in She Said She Said as a result. Should we consider that a brief exit from the band? I know the two incidents weren't exactly the same, but where should the line be? Harrison walked out during the Let It Be sessions; was that a different lineup?
My 1st preference would be one entry for the last lineup, starting in 1962: Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, Starr, drop the walkouts, and ignore Lennon's unpublicized exit in Sep 69. 2nd preference would be the same thing but with an additional entry for the post-Lennon period, Sep 69 to Apr 70. The 2nd recognizes that once Lennon left, he didn't come back in a few hours or days; he never came back, and the other three did some recording after he left. — John Cardinal ( talk) 23:21, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
The Beatles' line-ups → The Beatles line-ups — The useage of 'The Beatles' is not possessive. It would be 'Plastic Ono Band line-ups' not 'Plastic Ono Band's line-ups'. Relisted for further input. Jafeluv ( talk) 08:07, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

What about Andy White? He played drums on Love Me Do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.193.58.201 ( talk) 23:10, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
Any logical reason why this article doesn't include Pete Best's bands - before and after the Beatles? Come to that, any logical reason why it doesn't include Ringo's earlier bands? Ghmyrtle ( talk) 20:25, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
George was a member of this group in 1969, not just for the UK tour but also for Scandanavia. Check out the 1969 UK and Scandanavia tours detailed at www.ectours.de/. I think this group therefore needs inclusion. George is not only on the Delaney & Bonnie and Friends album, but is also on the new box set of the UK tour. This all certainly exceeds his participation in Plastic Ono Band. Just to clarify, due to the name difference I don't think it necessary or appropriate to chronicle every Delaney & Bonnie lineup, just the ones with the "and Friends" included in the moniker. These lineups can easily be found at www.ectours.de/. Cbben ( talk) 15:34, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
There are three lineups to consider: Bangladesh, 1974 tour, 1991 tour. At the least, the 1991 lineup should be given serious consideration as it generated a live album. Going further, it seems only right to include the 1974 lineup since every touring lineup for McCartney is included. I think the Bangladesh lineup, like Lennon's one-off concert lineup generating his live album, could go either way as there was no tour. Cbben ( talk) 15:41, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
I see the history of The Quarrymen according to this article starts in March 1957. I see not much references for that, besides "The Beatles Bible". What do you think of the biographies here – [1]? Are they trustworthy?-- Paracel63 ( talk) 13:32, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
The page title sounds mad. Surely it should read List of bands featuring members of The Beatles. How can 'a member of a band' feature 'a member of another band'? Obscurasky ( talk) 11:33, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
I'm thinking of revamping the Post-Beatles section of the page, but one of the problems is what to include. I think the post-Beatles "bands" should be defined as either an actual band (eg Wings, Traveling Wilburys), or a band used in a live performance (eg Paul's touring bands, ect.). One thing I would not include is a lineup that worked on a solo album, that wasn't billed as a band (for example, we currently have the lineup the played on Milk and Honey under John). Anyone have any suggestions or input? Seltaeb Eht ( talk) 17:19, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:List of members of bands featuring members of the Beatles/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
I've added a fair amount to this article recently. Most of what I added was post-Beatles line-ups, however there's a lot left to add. I'll try to get back to adding the rest soon. I'm interested in either converting, adding, or making a separate article containing a rock family tree. However, I'm not comfortable with having a good way to diagramattically/code-wise do this. Any thoughts? Thanks. -- luckymustard 14:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC) |

Chas Newby was not a member of the Beatles. He played with them during holiday from school but he himself has stated he was not a member and neither the Beatles nor he had any intention of that happening. He just filled in on bass with his friends while temporarily home from school. He didn't quit the Beatles because he was never a member of the Beatles. He should be listed under touring musician if anything. 24.47.241.227 ( talk) 00:03, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
