the song that inspired Helter Skelter
-
Paul has always been quoted as saying Helter Skelter was triggered by a press comment from the Who saying they'd just recorded the most raucous song in music history. Paul said he'd show the Who what r e a l l y raucous a song the Beatles can record! Does anyone here have a clue what Who song it could have been, please?

They were talking about I Can See For Miles

According to Wikipedia it's "I Can See For Miles".

Ah, OK, thanks for the info
I Can See For Miles isn'r raucous at all 
I like the song though, it sounds very ... Pepperish -
THIS (Paul's wish to be raunchy) is why I was so happy to see Paul get the Grammy for Best Rock Song with Dave Grohl & the rest of the Sirvana guys this year!

You should hear it "live", or any Who for that matter. Blow your socks off, man!

I love the Who!
Loved Roger Daltrey when he guest starred on the show Highlander! -
I remembered it was something by the Who - and Paul wanted to equal or outdo the song!

I guess you could say he achieved the goal, and then some! Pretty much invented Heavy Metal!

I absolutely hate heavy metal, but I love Helter Skelter!

Many people have said that THE BEATLES didn't record Metal music, "Revolution," "Paperback Writer" and "Helter Skelter," just to name a few, prove that they DID! Not only did THE BEATLES record Metal music, in my opinion, THE BEATLES invented Metal music!

The final 4 minutes of I Want You (She's So Heavy) is some of the Heaviest music ever recorded!

Hi NancyR! Macca played some great bass patterns on "I Want You (She's So Heavy)!" Just talking about this song makes me want to hear it over and over again. I never get tired of hearing "I Want You (She's so Heavy)."

Yes he was NancyR. "The End" is also a great Metal song, Paul's flawless bass patterns along with John's and George's blistering guitar solos (Some say that Paul played a guitar solo as well.) would make "The End" a great Metal song! Other than "Her Majesty," "The End" is a great way to end the ABBEY ROAD album.

Yes, Paul was one of the 3 guitar solos, definitely. From the book "100 Best Beatles Songs" by Spignesi & Lewis: "Paul, George and John--in that order--take turns playing the guitar lead solo during the song, each taking three turns."
