"Paul [McCartney] walked into the control room while I was recording a particularly fast, flashy solo. After I had finished it, he came out to
the studio floor and said to me, 'That was very nice, but I bet you
can't pay country and western.' I replied by playing a lightning-fast, slapping bluegrass passage. Paul muttered as he left, 'Flash cunt.'"

-- from John Entwistle's memoir, which is quoted in Paul Rees' book The
Ox.

I've seen Entwistle do ultra-fast, percussive versions of country &
western basslines. Guitarist Arlen Roth once thought he would challenge Entwistle by asking him how he would play a country song. Without
hesitating, Entwistle tapped out an impressive part.
