[edit] Hofner President?

IMDB trivia cites Sutcliffe's Hofner President as apocryphal(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106339/trivia). Gaberlunzie

What is your point? The article you refer to says "In the film, Stephen Dorff as Sutcliffe played a Hofner President Bass with chrome humbucker pick-ups. In real life, Stuart Sutcliffe played one with wood single coil pick-ups." So he had single coil pick ups, not chrome humbucker ones? Is this important? Paul B 12:32, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moptop hairstyle

Sutcliffe was not the first member of The Beatles to have this haircut, it was John and Paul. Jurgen Volmer states in The Beatles Off The Record by Keith Badman: "I was combing my hair forward as an act against the bourgeois horrors in Hamburg. The barbers there always cut it too short, so I cut my own hair, but I never did anyone else's. So when John and Paul came to Paris I gave them this haircut. It was their idea to to have it the same as mine". Sutcliffe copied John and Paul. Vera, Chuck & Dave 17:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Sometimes refered to as Fifth Beatle"?

He Was the fifth Beatle, no sometimes about it! Vera, Chuck & Dave 20:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Several other people have also been called that. See Fifth Beatle. Paul B 23:07, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I understand what your'e saying Paul, but this fifth Beatle nonsense is exactly that: media nonsense. There was only one fifth Beatle, and his name was Stu Sutcliffe. Cheers, Vera, Chuck & Dave 15:20, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't alter the fact that he is sometimes referred to by that label, and that other people are also sometimes so-called. We can't just insist that one usage is right and the others wrong. Paul B 15:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
