They not only changed what rock 'n roll music was about but also help change what society was going through in the insane sixties. 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". They first made their mark playing clubs night after night in Hamburg, Germany. In 1961 Sutcliffe left the band and McCartney took over the bass duties. Sutcliffe did contribute one very important thing to The Beatles image before he left that would at first make them stick out. His (what was then considered) long hair do, which the rest of the band copied and would become know as "the Beatle haircut" or "Beatles moptops". The long do in turn would change how not only rockers, but most men in at least the western world would look for years to come.(Sadly, Sutcliffe would die of a brain hemorrhage in April 1962, before his "new" look caught on).
