There is nothing in that piece about the BBC thing that is new. Bloody pointless. Useless.

I'm skimming through it, but my Bingo-card is already full: "Lagos robbery", 'Lady Madonna' show piece, "I made up with John in the end, 'Here Today'", "the end of The Beatles, 'Maybe I'm Amazed'", "when I go see The Rolling Stones, I want them to play 'Satisfaction'"... What... is... even... the... point....!

Actually, a song that I really can't get it out of my head is "demons dance". How could he put it as a bonus track?? I LOVE IT , very Mc Cartney!! I'd LOVE to hear him play this song live!

Did you expect anything the the same old stuff ? (lol). Would love to hear Mr. McCartney interviewed once and not one thing was said about the Beatles. Hook him up to electric shock machine and if he mentions any of the Beatles he gets shocked - lol.

Good idea. He really must lose sleep nights worrying about his legacy. Why on Earth does he STILL spout stories he's been giving us for decades? Does he really think these oft-repeated anecdotes are revelatory? He has NFI. And I can just see the audience and questioners gazing at him open mouthed, hanging on every word...

Yes that really is a good idea. He must think (& as you can see... he's correct)that there are always new people to listen to the stories. AS you said "hanging on his every word". Just like we are, in anticipation of a new one. But alas...not to be.

Sad but true. Wouldn't it nice to hear stories about the different producers he had recording "New" and what was his favorite song from each of those producers. How about telling us what it was like recording with people like Stevie Wonder, Elvis Costello, Carl Perkins, Michael Jackson and Youth. What were his favorite video's he made over the years with Wings and solo career? My goodness, the Beatles ended in 1970 !!
-
Just browsed some headlines...and I swear I'm not making these up. Paul McCartney "I turned to alcohol" Paul McCartney - "I was depressed" Paul McCartney - "Wings was not a good band" FFS!!! :
-
Paul McCartney - "I Loved John" Yep. Not making this stuff up...
-
Well done to Paul weller for asking the question in the Mastertapes interview - about wishing he could play more of his current stuff naming MAF in particular... but yeah Paul dismissed it as usual as fans want to hear the big hits. Like in spite of all the danger eh.. I guess Paul just can't grasp that as long as 50% of the set is the beatles staples, he has enough big well know wings/solo singles (if he didn't want to turn to the wonderful album tracks) to fill the other half of the set without "fans" coming away upset. I guess we have to accept that this is how it is, we're only making ourselves depressed otherwise.

He didn't say anything new but I do think he came across well. It was definitely one of his more likeable interviews.

______________________________________________________ I agree Rocky Boy (couldn't resist ha, ha) Just watched it on the Internet. I thought Paul seemed very relaxed and spoke well. John Wilson also did a better job than most as a MC. Here are some of my comments/questions: * Why is Paul doing something like this right now during a strenuous tour. His voice sounded very hoarse. During the times he did a song snippet, he really sounded bad. He needs rest if he expects to keep such a hectic schedule. It just makes you wonder. * I thought the question that Noel Gallagher (Oasis) asked was stupid. For those who didn't see it, he said he was with Stella and Mary and since he didn't have a question, they asked him to ask their Dad a question for them...which one of us is Dad's favorite. It's a stupid question because it has an obvious answer. * Someone asked Paul to name the greatest song he wrote. Another question that Paul always gets. I just wished he would spice up his answer. You know he is gong to say Here-There-and Everywhere and Yesterday because he always says this. It would be the perfect time for Paul to say that he has top favorites from all of his eras. So instead of just including a couple of Beatle songs, he could also include Wanderlust and Tug of War from Tug of War, Somedays and Little Willow from Flaming Pie, Too Much Rain from Chaos etc. Paul never speaks up for his "total career". You just want to shake him. * Paul Weller's comment/question was the "best" as someone earlier mentioned. He not only asked the general "Doing a new song vs. playing the hits" at your concerts"...but he then mentions that Memory Almost Full is one of his favorite albums. Now that was a perfect time for Macca to say...Thanks Mr. Weller and I agree. Lots of good stuff on that album. But Paul is his own worse enemy. Instead of taking the opportunity to enhance his Solo stuff (on a comment that someone as prestigious as Paul Weller made), he goes into his pat answer that when he goes to a show (e.g. Stones) he want sot hear the hits. Again, I just want to shake him. Speak up for yourself. You're never going to hear Yoko Ono complementing his Solo carreer

A Macca concert is becoming as relevant as a Ringo concert nowadays. So sad.

I was disappointed too about the standard answers. U've absolutly right there were more than one chance to advertise the solo career in a positive way (many of us here would like).

Do you think Yoko or John would still be talking about the Beatles? They had their own agenda. "I don't believe in Beatles"

Yeah but c'mon. Being likeable he has mastered all his life, but forums like this should be where he's free to give us something new, different, off piste...he can still give us all that and be likeable.

George wouldn't. Even Ringo never mentions The Beatles by name at his concerts. Moreover he's loathe to dwell on his Beatles past. Paul looks for an opening and jumps in head first!

On Everynight the high end of his voice is just gone. I hope he takes care of that.
