@@buzzedalldrink9131 I have. I have the big book and that gives quite a story as opposed to the main version. Faul would have to know all the songs they did as kids.Some of the comedy they do in the movie seems like only the real Paul would Know. I just lost my mom a year ago and its still killing me. Lennon and George and Ringo. How could they do it? Tavistock institute teach them some things?
When John and Yoko co-hosted The Mike Douglas Show, John called Paul "me best friend." And when John appeared with Elton John at Madison Square Garden, he introduced the first number as one "written by an old estranged fiance of mine named Paul," then launched into "I Saw Her Standing There."
I thought it was odd that John's comment introducing ISHST was included on the b-side of Elton's 'Lucy' single. I recall a story from the time that Yoko visited Paul, who visited John and read him the lyrics of 'She Loves You', before the couple reunited. Apparently Paul got the idea the morning after the 'toot & a snore' session when he went over to the address John had given him, to be led through the house to the pool area, where he met Ringo, who talked about John's apparent instability since he left Yoko.
I thought that until this album George’s sings weren’t that good.. But now they are. What’s the insult? He was right. Now they were good enough.. not sure who this guy is but he’s talking like he was there .. Oh well ?
Breathless 365 is a real master craftsman. Of course, Peter Jackson has done an excellent job of editing and renewing Get back recordings, B365 has done some real homework.
Great video! No one really talks about the depression Paul went through after the Beatles split up and how Linda was the glue that put Paul back together.
Faul was depressed because Linda the no talent was blackmailing him to put her in his band wings - (he should have called it Pigs with wings once she was in) She knew he was an imposter and was threatening to expose him. I love the isolated vocals of her pitiful attempts at singing , both priceless and painful !!
@@TheGuitarHistorian Wow you are a bright one. I like your tactic when you can’t dispute the info you resort to attacking the presenter. Obviously any information I mention is well over your head
@@buzzedalldrink9131 Is it "information" or is it just your fantasized opinion? You're clearly one of those "Linda haters", which I find odd since I thought those were all jealous and petty high school girls of that time.
Wow! I’m 57 and have watched and listened to everything Beatles I could since I was a kid. I think this is the best interpretation of their break up I’ve ever seen. Good job!
You have made one of the more incredible assessments of the end of The Beatles. It was a difficult period for true Beatles' fans, and the press manipulated the situation by elevating John to preeminence. You have spoken so honestly about those days; I really appreciate your thoughts and your analysis. Thank you! I was a true fan, having grown up in the 60s. It took me a long long, long time to accept their break-up. I still listen more to their music than any other one group or artist. Their development of and influence on Rock and Roll is immeasurable. Each album starting with Rubber Soul was revolutionary; nothing like what they were doing had ever been done. And they never stopped exceeding the bar that they had established. I think your work on this, and everything you do is very good. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for pointing that out. A lot of people don’t know how John had a lot of the musical press in his back pocket. In the end, the Beatles were four human beings, and susceptible to the same vices and sins as any human.
Nice way to bring light to such an interesting yet tragic part of Paul’s life. He made mistakes and so did they all but it’s just so crazy how few people know how bad it got for Paul. I mean he was literally just ready to die. He loved the group and having them torn away couldn’t have been easy.
John actually had his first #1 in 1974 with "What Ever Get's You Through The Night". Ringo had a hit album in 1973 with "Ringo" of course George had a hit album in 1987 with "Cloud Nine".
It takes a lot of love to recover from How Do You Sleep. If I were Paul I'd cut John out of my life completely after that scathing song. It was just brutal and oh so childish.
I do not know … They had been through an awful lot together and, I believe, were closer than many Brothers I know! Only a deep love can bond two Liverpudlian men as close as they were; it does open one up to deeper hurt and pain but also the otherworldly forgiveness. No matter which person’s skin you choose to have been in at the time, I would bet that you would have been taken back in as a “bestie” … just changed, a wee bit, but BFFs (especially if you can take the wives partially, at least, out of the equation).
Strangely enough, a few years later John said : I though that I was talking about Paul in How Do You Sleep, but the truth is that I was talking about myself.
@@theo9952 - Yes, I heard that interview too. John could be cruel and he tried to project an image of toughness and indifference, but in reality Paul was a much stronger man.
the man who wrote(or was about to write) 'maybe I'm amazed' had a crisis of confidence? damn. Allen Klein played ''divide and conquer'' w/ the BEATLES.
Paul McCartney was 100 percent right about Allen Klein. George Harrison wrote my Sweet Lord which sounded like the song "He's so fine. "Instead of Klein seeking out the other group and offering them songwriters royalties or credits, Klein bought the song and turned around and sued Harrison. That's comparable to Klein stabbing Harrison in the back, then throwing him under the bus. Yoko telling John you're so much better off without them(the other three Beatles) was a big mistake. The four of them individually would never be as great as they were as a group. And thank God, Yoko Ono never became a member of the Beatles. John had her come in like she was kind of some musical advisor when she had very little talent. A joke emerged around 1969 was Yoko going to scream and wail out of tune while Linda McCartney played tambourine solos?
The sum was indeed greater than the parts. Although the boys individually made some good songs, none of them had the consistency to churn out great music as they did when they were together.
I think people are being too quick to vindicate Yoko because of the Get Back doc. She introduced Klein and John is to blame for being so naive and a total follower by jumping in headfirst with Klein. He actually said to George he knows you better than I do. Omg
@@Mina-ok5qm Remember the Beatles manager Brian Epstein died of mixing sleeping pills with alcohol which produces a very toxic poisonous effect. Reporters say overdose but that's hyperbole because when I was a member of the media I did an investigative story on it. When Epstein died, John was on the search for the void of a parental figure in his life. Yoko was a subconscious mother figure because she paid attention to John while Lennon's wife Cynthia was busy with that role to their son, Julian Lennon. Klein fit the bill as John's real father, Freddie jumped a merchant marines ship and never came back. John's mother Julia Lennon had been unfaithful to him while he was away. Other celebrities who died from a poisonous mix of alcohol and barbiturates(sleeping pills. If they were broken in half they were used as downers) were Marilyn Monroe, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix was found at the edge of the bed in position to vomit so the actual cause of death was choked on his own vomit. Mama Cass Elliott died choking on a pork sandwich. It's a blatant lie that she was eating pig knuckle sandwich and the pig knuckles lodged in her throat. There was no one to give her the Heimlich maneuver to dislodge the sandwich.
@@Mina-ok5qm Yoko also brought a bed into the studio. Shocking. Imagine a co-worker bringing their spouse and mattress and sitting in it to watch your group at work. It's about as uncomfortable has having a ghost do that.
John and Paul were more or less good with each other after the Apple dissolution in 1974, and their unscheduled little studio session together during John's lost weekend. Despite a few rocky moments thereafter, they very much mended their friendship, and listening to or reading them carefully it's hard to know who missed the other most. You have to remember that for nearly 13 years, these two men, who both lost their mothers at a young age, both of whom no one really expected anything from and who had a typically 'Scouse' brass face to the outer world were closer than most brothers. They had been in a unique position not unlike the closest of close war buddies - and survived. They both felt for a while that the one had betrayed the other, but all that history eventually broke through that. A lot of people close to the two say that at the time of John's death, just after his emergence from 5 years of quiet life, he and Paul planned to work together again, Ringo was supposedly up for it, only George was still to be brought in. Studio sessions were supposed to be set for December 1980, but the studio they wanted was booked up, so it was agreed to wait until sometime in the New year...a New Year which of course for John, never came. Whether this is true or not (I have seen and heard enough to believe it probably was), it doesn't affect how they were at the end. They were a lot closer than many would believe.
The way I see it the break up was inevitable and as good as the Beatles were as a band they simply didn't need each other anymore. And I think John felt married to the Beatles and preferred to be married to Yoko. But that said, it seem obvious it all might have gone much smoother if not for Klein.
Good episode on Paul McCartney and his post Beatles life, and how eventually they were able to patch things up friendship wise. They both hurt eachother, but they both were able to reignite their friendship. Before John was murdered. And I’ve seen videos of John where he told the interviewer that he and Pail were Good friends again, and that he could see possibly getting together with the guys again. That alone is worth your episode.
I have been a devoted Beatles fan since I was ten, and have read widely about the band and their career/s. I knew that there had been angst around the Beatles break up and subsequent legal battles, but I had no idea until now of the effect that all this had on Paul. I had never imagined the effect of it all on Paul was so bad. He'd always seemed to me self sufficient and and immune to the scorn of press, public and his fellow Beatles. It just shows how wrong you can be.
I love how John Lennon and the rest of the Beatles accused Paul of nepotism yet there’s Yoko who would speak for him in meetings and became literally the fifth Beatles attached to JL hip and worked into all photo shoots, ridiculous! Paul was always the best Beatle, and the favorite Beatle! By far the most talented Beatle and his solo career in the 70s was outstanding compared to the other three especially Lennon who put out the most dreary boring music of his career. He sold albums because of who he was but no one regards his solo music highly today. It was weak. He needed Paul a lot more than John needed him! Paul got screwed by his friends but he ended up firmly on his feet! Thank God!
What a messy situation the Beatles should have bought that island so they could have privacy John and Paul marooned on that island could have talked by them selfs but I will say this when people argue it shows to me they careforeach other this band always fascinated me thanks for this 👏👏👏👏
The break up of the Beatles was just so sad and there are so many what ifs remaining even after half a century. I find it frustrating they couldn't find a way of carrying on but as George said, all things must pass and I'm just grateful we had them at all as they are the greatest band the world will ever see.
Incredibly informative and assertive assessment of the beatles around that time, you've earned a subscriber, you also deserve a lot more, greetings from Liverpool!
Actually I love the Early Solo Work of All of Them. McCartney record I still Love. RAM remains my Favorite. Wild Life has its moments. Like RED ROSE SPEED WAY. BAND ON THE RUN IS HIS BEST. Linda was the Glue. Love Scotland Period. Riding Horses Tending the Sheep Having his Family to help him Heal. Very Smart. You can thank Linda. Actually Linda grounded Paul. I like this period. Not so much the Hollywood Paul. But I'm glad they pretty much patched things up before John's untimely Death. THE BEATLES STILL LIVE ON.
I disagree that the press set up John as a hero to the working class and a counter culture icon. He WAS a hero to the working class and a counter culture icon. These two men certainly loved each other and had a complicated personal and professional relationship over the years. We can't truly understand the dynamics and pressures of being a Beatle during those times. Only they know what it was really like. They produced a huge catalog of some of the best music of modern times, pioneered many aspects of music for every band that followed, and blazed a trail of success and influence not likely to ever be approached by another musical group. It was, in a word, magical.
Mick Jagger wrote and mailed a letter to PM warning him to not allow AK to manage or handle the affairs of the Beatles. Also in the book Life by KR. He states that AK or his heirs own the rights to satisfaction.
But he refused to tell John about it himself. Which meant Paul had to tell John, and it only made it worse. I wish Mick had just told John himself. John might have believed him.
While recording All Things Must Pass, Harrison altered a line from “Beware of Darkness” to “Beware of ABKCO” so it didn’t take long for them to realize Paul was right, again…
Great presentation! I learned a couple of things and I'm a long-long fan of the Fabs. I never know that John wanted to create a tenable way the Beatles could stay together in 1970. Allen Klein really was an opportunist that came on as a friend and father-figure to John. I always wondered if all 4 Beatles could find an Apple head that they all could agree on. Maybe the Beatles would have worked together more, and Apple Records might have stayed an active company for other artists as well!
Wow. That was so impressive. I'm well versed in all of these details, and you did SUCH a concise, condensed, review of the entire breakup chronology...all in 21 minutes! Your use of just the right, relevant photos, and details of each of their emotional states throughout, was unmatched in any such review that I've ever seen, or read. I can't say enough to express how impressed I am. I've also, now subscribed, and look forward to seeing your other videos. I know they'll be great as well. Thanks, Chuck Rawlings
I'm not always a McCartney fan, but Maybe I'm Amazed is one of my top ten favorite song over everybody. I also like Oh Darling ,Back in the USSR, Helter Skelter, Hey Jude, songs with a hole lot of feelings and soul. 👍👍✌️
RAM is the best solo album by any Beatle, in my opinion. It's amazing how fondly people think of Lennon's solo work when it's so lazy and sonically boring. There are great songs, but they're few and far between. Mostly it's, "Oh let's do vanilla 50's rock again with the vocal echo." Snooze. Meanwhile, Paul, even at his lowest, was creating new sounds and inventing Indie Rock.
@@theamazingbrokenman YES THEY ARE BUT TO ME THEY DO NOT BEAR MANY REPEATED PLAYINGS. sorry caplock locked! His mommy and daddy issues songs especially are admirable but how many times can you listen to them? Ram and Band on the run and yes Wild life and other Paul or Wings albums do stand up to many replays. Paul's songs have so much going on in them musically and great vocal harmonies.
Dick James selling their catalog out from under them played a large role in Lennon's decision. "why should I work for suits I don't even know?" or something similar. McCartney. Swing your partner, do-si-do. That's what John thought of Teddy Boy. Bottom line is, George and John didn't want to work with Paul anymore. You see how George gets slighted by both John and Paul in Get Back, but mostly by Paul.
That was really good. Pretty fair. I think the last tricks up the Beatles re-releases sleeve should include, 1) Mixing the singles and EP's they made at the time, with the Albums they made at the time- New running orders and new album covers- And making 13 new albums/song collections. Would be nice to hear Paperback Writer and Rain on the Revolver Album and a MMT/ Yellow SubMarine/Lady Madonna mashup. 2) Gathering the BBC songs together into a cavern-like concert experience. Eschew most of the originals and focus on the covers; just make a bad ass circa early 1962 'concert' 3) releasing the Decca Tapes in full.
We all, unfortunately look for the "devil" to personify anything we don't understand and therefore look for a scapegoat. How dare they!!! Maxwell is "fruitier" than Yellow Submarine? Octopus's Garden? Strawberry Fields or Lucy In the Sky? I sing along with ALL of them and I am more than happy to say thanks to the Beatle that gave us the last tasteful,heartfelt and enigmatic"Long & Winding Road". What a swan song! He probably wrote "and in The End (your majesty) the love you take is equal to the love you make". A classier exit is thus not possible.Period. End of story. Haters hate.Do your thing.But who had the lengthiest,most successful creative,productivity after the "Beatles"? I'll give the confused people a hint. He had a "Band On The Run".I'm "Back in the USSR".And I'm 64.Take a "Jet "to reality.I'll sing you a "Silly Love Song.""Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Dumb."And if you still don't get it, well "Maybe I'm Amazed".Now it's time to say goodnight.
Paul has composed MANY GREAT ALBUMS since the Beatles breakup. Band on The Run; Flowers in the Dirt; Flaming Pie; Chaos and Creation; Off The Ground; McCartney; London Town and many more.
@@oskarmac14 And don't forget Back to the Egg - and RAM - I listened to RAM and predicted then that Paul would have the most successful solo career. The Lefthand King of Rock.
@@anton5442 Good pick - Ms. Vanderbilt - yeah that was a good one - "This One," "Girl's School," "Getting Closer," "Spies Like Us," "Helter Skelter," and "Not Such a Bad Boy," all get merit awards and runner up. I've been guilty of hitting replay on all these including Vanderbilt. Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin were influenced by "Helter Skelter," - very innovative artists - but good old McCartney is the master of melody (sweet and syrupy for certain) - but a good melody and a rocking song - well it's hard to beat him. On top of his work ethic - almost non-stop since the Beatles break-up.
7:50 Yeah it's petty to keep the Lennon McCartney thing there, but Lennon also refused to remove his name or even swap the order for the song Let it Be, which he actually had no part in writing. I get there being a divide among the work with The Beatles and their solo work, but I also don't feel bad for John not getting the same thing he refused to give Paul
Well done. You really do such an excellent and researched job on these. Love to see you present something on Bowie’s Berlin Period. As a teen, for me Bowie’s legend mushroomed during this period, as he laid low, became influenced by Kraftwerk and Cluster and then popped up in odd ways; producing Iggy Pop albums, then touring as his keyboardist. You’ve got the movie Man Who Fell To Earth, Bowie overcoming drugs and regaining his health, The making of Heroes, collaborating with Brian Eno, Robert Fripp and Tony Visconti, The Xmas duet with Bing Crosby, finally touring again with a monster band featuring Adrian Belew and Roger Powell from Utopia, and the triumphant appearance on SNL. Check out the live concerts here on RU-vid from ’78, astonishing. And, absorb Low, Heroes and Lodger.
The Beatles were in trouble when Yoko Ono brought a bed into the studio. That's like super invade my space very awkward. First Yoko came in and sat on Paul McCartney's amp. Macca would say excuse me to Yoko everytime he needed to tweak his sound on the bass. Instead of having a chair brought in, shockingly a bed was brought in for Yoko. This is not gossip. They interviewed Paul and Linda McCartney. You can find it here on RU-vid. Let's see how you would feel if a co-worker brought their spouse to work along with a bed. You would be shocked and it would be very shocking too. Both John and Yoko were obsessive compulsive. I prefer an alien invasion or haunting to Yoko bringing a bed into the recording studio. LOL
Good video. Nice to hear some different opinions on the breakup. One wonders if Paul had not been so dismissive of George's material they might have stayed together?
You may personally find it odd that on Sept. 8th "John led the discussion to carry on the Beatles..." and then only 12 days later announce that he was leaving the band but if you would have gone in depth in your research you would have learned that John was as fickle as an old woman. He was always saying things he didn't mean or changing his mind at the drop of a hat. THAT was par for the course as far as John was concerned.
Great vid, I had no idea Paul had all these issues. It's a bit true, Paul's solo career was mostly soft pop with a few great moments. Having said that, he kept the The Beatles together from Pepper to the end. We owe Paul quite a lot.
Lennon had some gall to complain about Maxwell's Silver Hammer making Abbey Road when he wanted to release What's the New Mary Jane and also got Revolution 9 on The Beatles... 😆 🤣 😂 sweet irony
The Beatles story is unique in the time period that they showed up in. They were talented. They were very fortunate to find Brian Epstein because he orchestrated all the contracts, marketing and business affairs. He probably was a great arbitrator and understood what buttons to push. He was the glue that held them together. When he died that is when a lot of the underlining tensions were just to great. If you look at the History of most rock bands most do not last more than 10-12 years anyway. Even as long as the Stones have been together that ship has not always run very smooth. Especially between the two principals. Keith Richards and Mick Jagger. Maybe if they had formed in their 30's things may have lasted longer. Living life is a balancing act. You may not think about things that way in your late teens through your mid 20's. But by your early 30's the dynamics change and you find that you must balance work, home, hobbies and other responsibilities. Paul was able to do that for 10 years until Lennon was assassinated. Then it became clear that everyone must step up their security.
Billy,er,Paul deserves credit for crackin' the whip (as was part of his deal when joining in late 66')& crankin' out the hits when most bands would've bit the dust when one of their key members had died.With the rise of the internet the differences in height,eye color,shoe size and shape of the head it's quite obvious that McCartney was replaced.Sorry Fab fans.Good job William.R.I.P. Paul.
Good reporting and pictures. The Paul you are talking about in this video is Billy Shepherd aka Vivian Stanshall of the Bonzo Doo Dah Band. The Real Paul perished in a fatal car crash Sept. 11th of 1966, two weeks after their final concert at Candlestick Park. Although Billy Shepherd (Shears) was a talented musician he drive the other 3 crazy, being a workaholic and a control freak. He introduces himself on his first song of Sgt Peppers for crying out loud!!! And the record being a funeral to James Paul. Read The Memoirs of Billy Shears by Thomas E. Uharriet if you wanna know the whole TRUTH... The author's name above is another one of Billy's many, many aliases!
I was born in late 1960 and remember the last albums when they came out because my older sisters had all the records. I always thought Paul was the leader at that point because he seemed to sing all the songs. What blew my mind was how radically their music had changed from the earlier records. Paul was a melody maker, every song sounded like a lullaby but were too mushy without Johns harder edge and better lyrics. Some of my favorite songs were written by George. I liked their 70's solo records.
Having lived through Beatlemania and the breakup I won't go so far as to say I'm shocked by this revelation but I am surprised. I didn't realize Paul was in such a funk and I don't remember the press being so critical of him [and I'm old enough to have seen them on Ed Sullivan]. In my opinion all of Paul's post Beatles work was way better than Lennon's. Sounds like the journalists were simple Lennon fanboy sycophants. And likely the fact that most journalists are left-wing fanatics they championed Lennon's politics whereas McCartney mostly steered clear of politics so not "one of them". The only Lennon song I liked was "whatever gets you through the night" whereas I loved everything Paul did. Imagine, is a good song but the line "imagine there's no heaven" burns it for me. One of my favorite parts is Paul throwing the bucket at the head of the journalist who showed up uninvited LOL. But this video is some significant history and the majority of which I never knew. Great post.
Eh, Lennon's contribution was small. Something was what it was because of George and Paul. George came up with the idea, played the fantastic guitar licks and solo, and sang it. So it starts with George. Paul, on the other hand, played a fucking unbelievable bass. One of the best bass performances i've ever heard in a ballad.
I suggest looking up the 1986 Q Magazine interview recording for a really interesting perspective in addition to what is said here. Paul goes into a lot of this information in a pretty candid and unusually unguarded conversation with one of the journalists from the magazine. Paul was definitely in the wrong for the way he treated George in the latter years of the Beatles, and I think that the desire to enstate the Eastmans as managers would have been as disasterous as Klien, but I would argue that he really had to take the leadership role that he did. He was the most capable instrumentalist, producer and business mind among the four band members. What's more the other pair of the songwriting duo was by that point a paranoid herione user who regularly showed up late to rehearsal and recording sessions if at all. It's sad the way it ended up, but honestly the work that Paul had to put in to manage his drug addled, emotionally abusive, jealous and paranoid best friend really made a longterm peace with the band impossible.
Ringo also said about Maxwell's Silver Hammer that it was good to have on the album for people wanting variety. I can understand that it was a homage to Pauls' youth and family playing old time music. But, Paul was such an accomplished writer that I wished he just rocked a little more and forgot about the "granny" stuff. EDIT - "jump across the table and ring Paul's neck"?
One of George Harrison's best guitar work on his Fender rosewood Telecaster is on Maxwell's Silver Hammer. It's got a very British style to it, especially the piano part. I know an American guitar tech who can't stand the song. I gave a friend of mine who came from Russia an Abbey Road CD and he immediately loved the tune. Maybe the whole Charles Manson serial killer controversy around the time the album came out made people uncomfortable. I was 9 at the time and knew the song was tongue in cheek humor.I didn't know who Charles Manson was or what he did until about 1976.
You need to listen to more of his catalogue. Hes "rocked" out time and time, and time again. The genius of McCartney is that he was all over the place. That means his catalogue is EXTREMELY diverse. You may not like the "Granny"stuff, but it has plenty of fans. If he was only doing the stuff you liked, then it wouldnt have the diversity it does. Thats just McCartney. He was like a Benjamin Franklin of music
@@billybob5337 True but I wish McCartney would have put more solo guitar work on his solo stuff. During the Beatles Paul wasn't scared to play electric guitar solos on the songs Ticket to Ride, Another Girl, Taxman, Good Morning Good Morning. In fact when Cheap Trick first came out in the 1970s, most people thought it was Paul. Robin Zander's singing sounds a lot like McCartney. If you have gone to a Cheap Trick concert, that's what McCartney could have been with more guitar work instead of opting for keyboards or horns. On guitar tab books, Lennon and Harrison have books. The McCartney version is not that great to play. Plus his guitarists didn't bend enough notes like he or Harrison did.
@@ralphgarcia913 Again, not sure exactly what of his solo work you've listened to..........but i've heard countless great guitar licks and solos over his solo career. McCartney's body of work is large enough that you can focus on one type of style and make a whole compilation set off of that. Maybe i could put together a list of things for you to explore. We are talking about a VERY large body of work here. So its easy to get a wrong or misguided perception
@@billybob5337 Arrow through me, Ebony and Ivory, With a Little Luck, Let em in, Live and Let die, McCartney could have replaced all that keyboard and horns work with electric guitar solo. If he would have, Paul wouldn't be considered a lightweight. McCartney does own a left handed cherry Sunbury Gibson Les Paul from the late 1950s which is worth $3.8 million. That's what I'd rather hear. It would have changed his pop songs to Rock and Roll.
You can see McCartney taking a Mick Jagger-like role, being indefatigable, and watching the drug-ridden members of his group reeling from it. I was all over with pop/rock by 1975, because it just did more harm than good, despite pop/rock celebrities taking up charity roles and being involved in other projects, like film.
The remaining Fabs called The Anthology "Mythology"& if you watch the new/old "Get Back"there's a part in the 3rd episode of the movie where producer George Martin calls "William" into the control room & ""McCartney" abruptly turns his head.They never called Billy Preston "William".Hate all you want but it's there.Similar to the bomb of a movie "Give My Regards To Broad Street" where " Paul"is greeted into a recording studio as again as "William"."Nothing is Real"-Strawberry Fields-J.Lennon.
Poor Paul, but he wanted to control things singularity. It was such a shock to him when no one wanted his input nor cared for it, but it wasn't all his fault the band broke up. The drag over every song to write and produce is tiring and they no doubt we're all bored by continuing in a business they felt was doing fine without them as a group. Everyone grows up. Even the Beatles.
I remember the split like it was yesterday. I cooled on John, loved George and Ringo's works, admired Paul's first and second solo albums and then had enough when Beatlemania turned me onto The Sex Pistols. Wings was corny.
Wings had some clunkers. I found the 70s and 80s to be his weakest decades. The 90s and more recently he made nice comebacks with Flaming Pie, and more recently with Chaos and Creation, Memory Almost Full and Egypt Station. McCartney III… moments but overall it wasn’t for me n
@@TheGuitarHistorian I liked Maybe I'm Amazed, Oo Woman and Why Woman, Why. So much dirt and an absence of canned polish. I remember going to see Rod Stewart and The Faces and they performed Maybe I'm Amazed less than 9 months after Paul released the song. Yes, it was good that his wife Linda smoothed his nerves but his style got too stylish after that. Juniors Farm was cool and High, High, High but not too much after that. Should have trashed Maxwell Silver Hammer and put a George song like It Don't Come Easy.
My hands didant open,and were twisted to the side (genectic disorder shorter tendons) but i opened my left by playing bass in my first band a beatles copy band age12 in 1976,no i never got the fame i wanted,but i did get the music,and far less disabled hands..this is how much an effect the beatles had on some people,,as they say in liverpool YNWA
