Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles (White Album) and Abbey Road, practically nothing you hear in that era was recorded live. A 10-second drum solo by Ringo would be pasted together from many takes of that solo because, usually, Ringo couldn't play it in one take due to his limited abilities. A lead guitar section might be played by Paul, not George, and from several takes, usually because George couldn't play it after 30 takes, and everyone got tired of waiting for him to get it ...]]> Wed, 31 Oct 2012 06:53:00 +0000 Von Bontee on Whose solos do you prefer in the end? http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/recording-and-musicology/whose-solos-do-you-prefer-in-the-end/#p57127 Recording and musicology http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/recording-and-musicology/whose-solos-do-you-prefer-in-the-end/#p57127 It's a very "singable" drum solo, with the emphasis on maintaining the 4/4 rather than anything show-offy. John's first solo phrase is almost an echo of some of the drum riffs Ringo plays, if you think about it.

But that's because Ringo hated soloing. I see it as a quirk that Ringo couldn't (or wouldn't) do an awe-inspiring solo.

BUT, that solo in the end is a little weak for me.  I like the pounding bass drum part rhythm, but the fills leave a lot to be desired.  For someone who has done a lot of great and unnusual fills on many a tracks especially in the later beatles years, the solo - especially being his only solo - is dissapointing.

I LOVE Ringo's drum solo. Paul's and George's really are very similar, and I really like them both. It took me a long time to be able to tell where one stopped and the other began. John's is very unique, which I like. It was easy for me to pick him out, which is a plus for him.

They were the least technical and flashy and yet they are the ones that grab you by the balls.  It's those hard crunching riffs that have some bite and some soul.

His tone really stands apart from Paul's or George's, those two have more similarity between them.

Really, though, that whole series of solos has such fluidity, it really could easily be one single 19-bar solo (or 9 1/2 bars or however many it is.)

Oops, I forgot to mention Ringo, so I'll mention him: Ringo!

Paul's, George's, John's or Ringo's (the drum solo also counts)
I like reqlly every solo very much, but if I had to take one, I'd take George's
