Right! The iconic leather trousers! Not to mention the leather jackets. They picked 'em up in Hamburg, I think, and would get made fun of in Liverpool because, well, they looked a little... y'know [reference SO intended], silly. Ofc still handsome as hell though! John especially looks very handsome here.

Right? I always thought Paul looked really cute in this, like a little kid leaning in to try and get into the picture. Sorry that the shot's a little blurry though!

They look oddly uncomfortable on stage, so different from their later stage presence.

Sort of agree. I don't know if I would say "uncomfortable" so much as a little more serious. This photo must be around '57 or so, since George doesn't seem to be there; this puts Paul about 15 and John about 17- they were just teenagers in a skiffle band at this point. Not the most experienced. Plus, Paul looks like a baby here. You are right about their later stage presence though!

Oh, Pete Best... I had a theory teacher at music school who called himself the Korean Pete Best. He'd been in a rock group in his twenties but left to pursue classical music. His former bandmates became a huge hit in Korea shortly after. From what I could tell, he was fairly happy as a professor and choir director.

Better off than Pete Best, it sounds. He unfortunately attempted su!cide (stupid BP censors) in 1967 by plugging up the doors and windows in his bathroom and turning on the gas jet. He was fading away when his brother came in (forgot why) and dragged him out, screaming, "You bloody idiot!" Also, "Korean Pete Best" lol sounds like an awesome guy :)

Either Paul hasn't aged at all since then, or he's looked like an 80 year old man since he was born.

Paul's shirt looks very nice on him! His teddy boy look is quite underappreciated, in my opinion.
