    As much as I love the Beatles they weren't really known for their Raging Guitar solos or 8 minute Drum twatting sessions, and for me the best bits in both GH and RB were the difficult but rewarding sections that I really just don't seem to remember the Beatles having.

    It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for being subtle.

      For me the best bits in RB is having some friends over to play, and going through all the fun songs that everybody knows. I think the Beatles have plenty of those.
