My favourite Beatle? John, hands down. His songs were very deep, and I personally think that Strawberry Fields Forever is a masterpiece. They simply were the greatest band of all time. I like to listen to the guitar work of Slash. His riffs and mind-blowing solos really influence me a lot, However, drummer and songwriter Georgie Goode is influenced by modern day bands such as Pendulum and Scooter. This has a major bearing on the bands diverse music style.
