The Beatles first really came about in 1955 when Paul McCartney joined up with John Lennon’s band, The Quarrymen. Lennon played lead guitar, McCartney was on rhythm guitar with Stu Sutcliffe on bass and several fill-in drummers. A short time later thirteen year old George Harrison joined them and took over the lead guitar job from Lennon. Peter Best became their regular drummer in 1960. Also around this time they changed the band’s name to “The Silver Beatles”, then shortly after that to just “The Beatles”. Info found at: http://www.keno.org/classic_rock/beatles_bio.
