    Rock doesn't get harder - maybe fluffier but not harder and yes, it's easily in metal category. Beatles did many really hard rockers. It's All Too Much (guitars roar but G. Martin pushed them a bit into the background), fast Revolution, Birthday, ...Me and My Monkey, ...Warm Gun (guitar solo), She Said She Said, Abby Road Medley and the list goes on. Still, because of their early songs ('62 to '64 - also genius), they have been labeled a "pop" group ever since ...snickering now.

      He bends on the neck of the guitar to throw the chords out of tune and make it sound more demonic. So many people don’t do this when they play it and so it just doesn’t have the same impact at all.

      He does. I thought for years that Lennon played it, because it says so in the official records. Turns out he only played the slow, first takes, with McCartney taking over by the time they finished working on it. There’s an unused take on one of the Anthologies where you can hear McCartney talking to the band and playing at the same time.
