He would have needed more than a moustace to diguise himself. i heard that he thought that the people in India woundn't know who the Beatles were & wouldn't reconize him, but they did.

George grew a moustache as a disguise when he was travelling to India in late 1966. He didn't want to be recognized, but I doubt if it really worked.
You're correct. He lasted one day before a bell hop recognized him.
Both George and Paul grew their mustaches for specific reasons: George for disguise (as Ravi Shankar had suggested-- also that he cut his hair, which he did, and neither measure worked); Paul because of his moped accident. I suppose it became the trend later, but as far as George recalls, one day they all had "hair breaking out on the face". They didn't plan it as a group.
All you've got to do is choose love. That's how I live it now. I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden. I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007
For all I know, Ringo might be a yogi disguised as a drummer! - George Harrison
If Paul chipped his tooth in December 1965 why didn't he have it capped by May 1966 (the promo video for Paperback Writer/Rain)? In the history section of this site their is no mention of the moped spill.
It's one of the few things that The Rolling Stones didn't copy off The Beatles during that period. Though hang on, didn't Charlie Watts have a 'tache briefly?
