I was listening to Revolver last night (high) and my ears were opened for the very first time to the insane drumming on She Said She Said. I always loved the song but never really focused on the brilliant drumming. GO RINGO!!

So which songs do you guys/gals think will be the hardest to play on expert?

It depends on which will be in the game, Helter Skelter will be up with the hardest if it's in. Ringo had blisters on his hand when he played the drums on it so that has to count for something right?

She Said She Said will be pretty tough all around... Its got some fancy guitar stumming in the verses, decent bass line and Tricky sounsing harmonies as well as the drumming. Also, Beatles plus marijuana! Why have I not done this?

I can mostly comment on drums....

I doubt that it will be in the game, but if it's included as DLC, Long Tall Sally. The tempo is fast, the drums are swinging, with lots of rolls, there's a tasty little syncopated bit during the solo and the last 20 seconds are crazy triplets (?). Definitely one of Ringo's best moments. Here's a really good drum cover which is very faithful to what's on the record:

Helter Skelter will probably be a blast to play, but it's a pretty standard Ringo beat, just played really loud. I think the blisters could be attributed to the fact that he'd been playing like that all day.

I think some of the songs that are in odd or varying time signatures could probably be the trickiest: I Me Mine, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Long Long Long, Good Morning Good Morning (which also features what really sounds like double kick bass in a few spots).

And yeah, She Said She Said will be a blast.

I'd love to have this song in the game. But as for Ringo's blisters, it's because he did many takes of the song that day, so it caused him to get blisters.

I really hope you get to sing/scream that line at the end of the song.

Helter Skelter on vocals.
Drive my Car should be crazy on bass.

It's not like you can't just scream it out yourself even if it's not programmed into the vocals chart.

After reading that, I yelled, "I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!" My dad looked at me oddly.

I've been listening to Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt Pepper touched and I can honestly say I feel as if I'm hearing each album again for the first time. I'm planning on visiting Lucy in the Sky on 09.09.09. There will definitely be Diamonds.

Good Morning, Good Morning has nice fills. Ringo used double bass on that song.

Helter Skelter really. Though maybe with how long I Want You is that'll be the hardest to do, lol.

One After 909 on lead guitar would be pretty cool.
