One of the things I love about Paul is that you can find him in almost any stage or period of rock history and you will find him, just being Paul. Think about it: at the moment of this interview, hip hop and new wave were just starting, bands like The Smiths were not formed yet. U2 were still struggling to get an audience, The Clash was huge, punk was taking over UK, John Lennon was still alive. Metallica didn’t even existed. However there he was. The same old Paul, still genius, still humble, still doing his thing: making music. You can see him in 1967, 1980, 2019, he’s always the same.
Just a nice,sweet,humble genius.in slot if his interviews, he gives praise to those he has great admiration for i.e. Hendrix,his bandmates,many more than I can name.That's a true gentleman and class act.I was lucky to have WON Beatke tickets for their final CV concert at Candlestick Park in SF.They were funny and fantastic ( you actually could hear them) I was in my 20's.Also worked at a recording studio in San Mateo ( Pacific Recording with the great Fred Catero and David Rubinson in 1968 to 1970.Great ERA. Miss the 69's. Go Paul..you rock!!
Brian Jenkins more than liked it -- it motivated him to get back in the studio himself which is why DF exists at all. Sure wasn't Yoko motivating John - he'd been blocked for 5 years with that slug as his "musical partner". Even from afar, it was still Paul who motivated him to compose again.
Paul was honestly admitting here that he's more of a musician than a lyricist. Although he's done some great words or lyrics before, he said that in most of his songs the music came first. John, on the other hand, is the superior lyricist. So when they work together, the results are awesome.
Those two albums, McCartney I and McCartney II, are fantastic. Specially on McCartney I, he was (again) a total pioneer, recording everything by himself (which everyone does of course). And it still sounds great lo fi, his musicianship shines more than in his more elaborate productions. Even the instrumentals are fantastic.
agree 100% I loved McCartney 1 and RAM. Back then when they were first released we didn't know anything about John and Paul throwing a few barbs at each other. I love Monkberry Moon Delight, even if the words are a bit gruesome. He really shows that he can be a powerful vocalist in that song.....and then "Sitting in the Backseat of My Car" .....a complete 180!
i agree. I think McCartney I and II and also Ram, which was informed by this DIY aesthetic, was Paul at his post-Beatles best, frankly. But he got hammered mercilessly for all three so he had to regroup each time with "proper" pop records to follow.
@@peterf08 He is on stoney ground when it comes to the past and he admits here he is not a lyricist. So Mary Had A Little lamb, The Frog Song and C Moon are his 'stuff' whereas the past discography was vastly different. He uses his right hand all the time too. I am not 100% but this guy and especially his wife really seem totally fake to me, a bit like Linda's Burgers..look and taste like the real deal but when you investigate, they are totally fake even though (Nice but Dim) Tim must have rehearsed this quite a few times?
@@peterf08 wrong. Billy shears was and still is the main replacement however there were a couple other musicians posing as "fauls" from the late 60s up until the early 00s. And one of such musicians is the guy jn this video. The guy in this video is neither Paul nor Billy its Bruce welch from the Shadows AS Faul Mccartney. It's quite easy to tell the differences between Billy and the other two fauls. Billy has a longer face and often wears a prosthetic nose While Bruce has a slightly more oval face and thin nose which looks kind of beaky from the side, while the third double whose name is Frank Allen he was the bass player for the searchers and when posing as Faul he had a round face, thin nose, and a thicker accent than the 2 of them. I'm not saying they were the main replacementts and I'm not saying they're still around what I am saying is tho is that Billy was definitely not the only man posing as "The Paul Mccartney" at least until the mid 00s.
McCartney II might just be Paul's most underappreciated album. At least until recently. The New generation of people open to electronic music, such as myself, love what he did on that one.
He is always a great interview, because he jokes around a little, but is so transparent with his opinion. As you watch this, keep in mind that he released "McCartney II" in May of 1980. He was out doing promo interviews......just months before John died.
Lennon said, "Coming Up" brought him out of retirement. He would go around his apartment singing the song. Lennon always thought the studio version was superior to the live version
@@ohdear2001 Brilliant. Spot on. To elaborate more - he could not lie about who wrote what and what he "created". Now you'd think he was the only songwriter in the Beatles and had a split personality, writing both his drek like 64, Maxwell's and of course only-possibly-Lennon stuff like Lucy and In My Life. What he's really brilliant at is re-writing history. No one here to challenge him now. And no, Ringo doesnt care.
@@ohdear2001 Oh PAHLEEZE...like you know all the facts about everything between John and Paul, if he says something about a song, what authority do you HAVE to say he's not telling the truth????
Paul was 78 when McCartney 111 was released. The more I listen to his music, the more there is to hear and his albums from way back when they are still relevant today.
The most talented of all The Beatles....best singer, best musician (he plays EVERYTHING), excellent song writer (but so was John), and best looking (well most think so). We are so lucky to have him still....
Smufter16 George was more handsome, and John wrote at least as well. Paul was the most talented musician and wrote the best melodies. I much prefer John’s best solo stuff to Paul’s solo stuff
Great interview! Paul here looks ten years younger than he really was! Maybe the shorter hair, his clean and slim face remind me of his early Beatles years.. Always a beautiful man and amazing musician! And his speaking voice is always so captivating..
That interviewer is non other than Tim Rice the lyricist and authour best know for his collaboration with Andrew Lloyd Webber on Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, Chess, etc etc ........
Paul is just like the rest of us composers in the sense that sometimes the music comes first, and sometimes the lyrics. The important part of composing music happens when your are just letting your fingers move around on the piano without thinking of a specific chord. The more intricate chords you know as a pianist, the better the composition will turn out because you can then use really nice chord progressions and setup chords that lead into an emotional part of the song. Unfortunately, that rarely happens today with music. But, if young musicians learned Jazz chords, R&B Chords and Gospel chords, you could write incredible music that would be a hit today. That's what Bruno Mars and Adele have. That is why their music is ahead of others just looping repetitive beats.
Seeing the Beatles in 1980 just before John's death always gets to me. I think at this point, all 4 of them believed on some level that they would reunite in some capacity. Whether for an album, a live performance, a full tour, or even just a single song. It was going to happen until the day it became impossible for The Beatles to ever exist again.
Interesting that waterfall was seen as the big song of the album and now probably Temporary Secretary is the track that defines this album ...definitely ahead of its time.
I look at interviews like this in a pre December 1980 - post December 1980 kind of way. History tells us what happened, but Macca could never have imagined.
Artists are so able to keep their own minds self entertained...until boredom catches them by surprise to torture them...Paul suffered from intermittent spells of boredom...believe it or not...painful thing actually!
Interviewer is wearing Beatle boots!!!!! Makes me remember the one's I once had...Only they were soild Black! Anybody else remember or have a pair of those?
@@Bloxdio_God I didn't know that. I wasn’t born yet, but my parents are from that generation (They are Brazilian Baby Boomers) and they wore bell bottoms until 1979.
Were you even alive then? I ask because I was and McCartney here is not wearing 70's style here. No flared collar, no flared pant leg. This is a pre-Yuppie 80's look entirely. Even the color scheme the host is wearing looks more early-80's than late-70's.
Paul and John both had their moments in their solo careers, a handful of reslly great songs. Still could never duplicate the sheer greatness of when they worked as a team, though. They perfectly complimented each other and edited each other just enough to make really good turn into great. And they literally created at least 50 GREAT songs together ( in including George & ringo as in The Beatles). Too bad they didn’t eventually work together again . I get taking some years apart, but you’d have thunk that after say 5 years they’d realize they were NEVER going to match the quality of their partnership.
I love his little cough after saying he wanted to apologize to all the mixers, drummers and guitar players. He knows, we know, he is the best at all those functions.
Here's a bit of theory, the 80's style didn't really kick in till 82/83 till then late 70's fashion/style bridged over till then, the same apply's to the late 80's to early 90's, if you don't know the year of a clip or photo you see I think it id be quite hard to pinpoint the year within there times fashion wise.
Crazy how - at the time - anyone could have had the opinion "this sounds like typical McCartney; standard stuff with a rock group". Like, what? I know it wasn't on the record specifically, but "Check My Machine" pretty much invented the Gorillaz at least a decade before they existed. Sure there's a few generic blues tracks on this record, but a lot of it is so forward-thinking it's just wild to me anyone could have thought that at the time. I wasn't alive then - was born in the 90s - but that's all I can say really: just wild to me anyone thought this sounded like "just another McCartney record with a rock group". If anything demonstrates to me the bias the music press had against him; so predisposed to think he was washed up they couldn't see him practically inventing genres that wouldn't reveal themselves until ~15 years after this record... whilst just goofing off recording drums in his bathroom. Crazy.
I feel like he looked so different after John's death. Not only his appearance in public but also his image in general. Maybe it doesn't even have anything to do with John's death but I personally think it does a little bit.
Not one of my favourite albums, but that's no disrespect, and you can't hate it, because it was just an experiment. Temporary Secretary is pretty catchy.
For me it's genius if you as an artist knows what kind of lyric will suit this melody he has done it again and again. with john it was the lyric first and then what kind of melody suit the lyric so they were yin and yan for each other that's what made them great when they were together
Kool home made studio in the bathroom i remember doing that taping with my brothers singing the song " lost in love"in a bathroom tub back in tge 80s cuz the echo was awesome and bouncing you gotta be creative
"At certain times I've done some good words." - Paul McCartney, writer of Yesterday, Let It Be, Hey Jude, Blackbird, etc
Modest guy. Total and utter genius.
Penny Lane, Eleanor Rigby, The Long and Winding Road....
He's not stupid. He knows what he's doing and how it comes across. Probably the best PR man in the world, weren't they Lennon's words?

1970 McCartney
1971 RAM
1973 Band on the Run
1980 McCartney II
1982 Tug Of War
1980 and 2001 were horrific years for obvious reasons.
Not one of my favourite albums, but that's no disrespect, and you can't hate it, because it was just an experiment. Temporary Secretary is pretty catchy.
Jesus how many "Pauls" are there?
At the very least 3.
Nine
64

At 1:45, no Tim, the experiment was NOT to approach it as music to be released. So it could be argued that the experiment actually DID fail.
Great Album
Water 💦 Falls
The Best
For me it's genius if you as an artist knows what kind of lyric will suit this melody he has done it again and again. with john it was the lyric first and then what kind of melody suit the lyric so they were yin and yan for each other that's what made them great when they were together

3:33 "Moving mics around" is actually most of what good recording engineering is. hehe X-)
