God, thanks for the bass! I appreciate whoever tracked the sound for this vid for letting us feel the power of Paul's bass guitar playing. This is the greatest bass guitarist to ever stalk the planet........Whilst singing like a god. Pardon my idolatry
It's so fascinating watching this interview. They were having so much fun. I never knew this Paul. I was born in 1981 and almost all of the interviews I've seen of Paul he's been much more buttoned down and aloof. I miss this Paul. I wish I would have lived back then. Everyone is so care free. Nowadays this couldn't have happened without someone getting offended.
Paul had to put some guard up after The Beatles because everyone was against him for awhile. After John died he was constantly asked about John and it made him both angry and sad and it was hard for him to talk about how the murder made him feel and bringing up old stories about John was painful and in a way he was unable to get out from under that shadow for a long time. In the mid-90's he loosened up again, then lost Linda and got with Heather, which put him on edge again. I think these days he seems VERY mellow and happy and he has a great marriage with Nancy and I'm very happy for him.
I grew up before. Funny young circa teen Wings fans aren't necessarily Beatles fans. Old goats like me didn't & don't realise that. Their Beatlemania mums loved both. Circa now & a new breed of young McCartney fans are the same. Disturbingly they are slavish in their fandom & mainly American.
@@seltaeb3302 I grew up with both being a 60's baby but I prefer the Wings probably because of their creativity, endurance and more upbeat, positive vides and sound not to mention such a positive family life. The Beatles are so amazing too but with the drama and a lot less touring it held them back from their fans. Then the Yoko Ono thing. What an annoying cling on she was. I heard John was starting the process to divorce Yoko when he was killed. She was bad Karma. Linda was the opposite and such an amazing positive cheerleader/partner for all things Paul and she even joined in the band when he asked her to. I believe she played a strong part in his comeback with the Beatles being a hard act to follow. What an awesome lady. Wish she was still here for him and their children and all of us fans.
I was in a band G W Lighttrain that opened for the Joe English band in South Jersey, USA. He was a Christian and it was a Christian rock concert. Hes a great drummer and singer. Real nice fellow too. This was after Wings. He said that experience left him empty.
Dan Peek left the rock group (America) at the peak of their popularity in 1977. He sang lead vocal on his composition (Lonley People) it was a contemporary Christian rock song, a genre that he helped pioneer.
It was a good Pop band, he's lucky he didn't chase money to have to work with YOYO- Howling at the audience & yodeling banging on a can- out of time & just screaming AHHHH AHHHAHHAH, AHH AGHHH AHHAH, AHHHH AHH HAH.
Let’s be clear Linda McCartney’s family were entertainment lawyers whose clients included Tommy Dorsey, artists William deKooning and Mark Rothko. The we’re not the film corporation.
“I’m Joe English, and I’m from Rochester, New York, in the good old U.S of A.” “I’m Joe English, I’m from Glasgow Scotland.” “My name is Joe English, and I was born in Liverpool.” “My name is Joe English, and I was born in New York City.” “And just to be different, my name is Denny Laine.” “BOOOOOO! BOOOO!!!”
I think Paul's father had died a few days before this. It would be hard to ham it up, it would be hard to perform the concerts. It can explain the range of comments, everybody was right on what they saw.
Can you imagine The Queen of Denmark "You mean The McCartney s knocked on my door and you didn't let them in for a cup of tea? " Hey, Paul, you can have that as a lyric. You're welcome! ( That could be the title). Send my fee to...
Maca made good use of her range for the upper harmonies. It then became part of the wings distinctive sound. A lot better than yoko screaming in John's music. But even a howling old owl in the woods would sound better than yoko. Smart move by maca dishing the I got a get a Beatle groupie on John. Too bad he fell for her mind games. She really knew how to use his mommy insecurities to control him.
Sings ok on Ram & no jiggery-pokery electronics back then. My favourite 'Beatles' album. If they had done another album 'x' tracks from their ’70-’71 outputs would be on it. Which would you choose for another alb/double & the name?
@Ruben Covarrubias.. A little factual trivia for you on the song "San Ferry Anne".. San Ferry Anne is the way someone who speaks English would hear the French term "Ca Fait Rein", which is pronounced "Sa Fay Reeyèn", which means "It's No Big Deal"..
Paul didn't pay much to the band, usually it was scale wages, what a session musicians would get. If its called a band, treated as a band, looks like a band (like a contract) then it is a band and the members of that band contribute more to the band (Denny) then they need to be paid accordingly. What Paul did, years later, was put the past members down and said he had "substandard "musicians to justify paying them very little, in my opinion that is. I'm a Wings fan to the very end but I don't pull the wool over my eyes to the behavior of my fave musicians
Its the total lack of humor that makes me suspicious. And the members of the bands behaving like they had a gag order. And the music. …trying very hard to have an open mind.
When I talk about Wings as a band, I mean their partnership, not friendship. Paul allowed them to express themselves in the interests of their own project. But in the late 70s, he decided to start a solo career again, invented a scandal in Japan to increase sales of the failed Back To The Egg, deprived the band of the opportunity to tour and earn good money. A similar picture was in 1969, when Paul decided to leave. In both cases, he was not worried about the further fate of the partners. And now he goes to interviews and claims that he wrote Michelle alone, that the melody of In My Life belongs to him and that he wrote Strawberry Fields with John. Probably because the level of Wings songs is not up to the level of the Beatles.
