It seems right now he's busy promoting all The Beatles releases from last year, the two Blu-rays and the vinyl remasters, as well as the current re-releases of Wings Over America and Rockshow. When that's over and the tour is done, that's when I think we will see the new album. That's the tour I want to see!
Actually, I don't think that many people on this board care about a new album. They just want to see him tour and play Beatle/Wings songs.
Yeah, still, I don't think touring to promote WOA or Beatles stuff will impact sales THAT much. There is a built in fan base that buys these things no matter what. I wish Paul would go back to touring to promote a new album. He could still play oldies, but at least you know why he is touring. I don't know why he is touring now under the moniker OUT THERE, except to make money. I am not knocking that, but that seems to be the only reason.
Yep, it used to be you only toured when you had a new album to promote. Now there are bands/acts that constantly tour like you said just to make money. I agree that it is fine to make money but you would think as a artist you would want to do something new and fresh for your audience. IMO - it is not "minty" fresh when you dust off a bunch of 30 or 40 yr old songs that you have not done ever or in a long time. I have said quite a few times my favorite McCartney concerts were when he had new record out and would actually paly 4-5 songs from it live.

Totally agree with you Kapoo. Maclover...I didn't know you were a new fan! Yes...start at the beginning. His early years were FAB! (as are his later years...lol)

I think that was the time the "fake" list was going around. The last song had something to do with April Fools Day.

I think those discovering Paul's work for the first time should alternate from a relatively more recent album and then a much older one. And so on...
-
I will be sure to keep those suggestions mentioned above in mind. thanks Me listening to Paul's music for the first time is very exciting. and I cant wait for the new stuff as well.

I see Rod Stewart's new studio album entered the UK charts at number one. I guess this will put pressure on Paul to do the same when his is released. What do you think?

And then he plays me, at ear-zinging volume, one of the songs he?s written and recorded with Paul McCartney for his next album. It?s called ?Struggle?, and sounds like Macca?s greatest non-Beatles song. But that?s not too hard. ?It could be a defining statement for him,? Epworth says of their four-song collaboration, ?especially [considering] where he is in his career??

Where's this from?
-
It's from the London Evening Standard. Sounds promising.
-
Indeed it does, can't wait until the first reviews claiming this to be the "best McCartney album since Band On The Run".
-
I know what you mean but the positive feedback this time is not just from the McCartney camp.....

What a crappy -- and incredibly stupid -- thing to say. Seriously? : : : Just how many great non-Beatles songs does he have to write before he gets a smidgeon of respect from these fools?

I hate to think that Paul McCartney needs a co-writer, like he needs help writing a song. I want him to get the full credit, not half.

Lennon-McCartney McCartney-MacManus McCartney-Youth Well he doesn't need a co-writer. It's not about "need." It's about collaboration. Nothing wrong with that. And that's how Epworth works with artists --- as a co-songwriter.

What does a collaborator do? He helps another writer write. If the other writer did not "need" help, what is he there for? You can parse words and try to justify it all you want but it still won't give Paul full credit.

I'm not trying to justify anything. I just don't see what the big deal is. He's had collaborators before; why is that suddenly a bad thing?
