@@jankodjuric1833 r/whooosh
steviesteele apparently his band mates talked him into it. “Hey, lets do HS!” Paul: really? Sounds cool.. cover me on backing vocals and I’ll do it! And a legendary performance was born
Old as hell, still has the same great voice
Megallica this was 04:/
Major tom I can confirm, in '17 he's still awesome
Stevenson_35 so does ringo
+Stevenson_35 hahaha great comment
Megallica yeah I’m surprised of how his voice sounds now
It’s hard to believe that the same guy who sang “Yesterday” and many other soft songs, also made one of the pioneering tracks of the metal genre.
This should have been a John Lennon lead vocal
Jessy Leppert - To be honest, I’m having a hard time imagining what this song would be like with John on lead vocals.
@@PkmariO64 they were rumors that John Lennon did a demo lead vocal
@@jessyleppert2 In 68, for a Mccartney song? Hardly.
This was on the same album as blackbird
Critics: McCartney can only write love songs
*McCartney literally invents heavy metal*
Not invent, but does but nowhere near inventing
Black Sabbath?
@@motherfungler420 Black Sabbath came after the White Album, the one that had Helter Skelter
Wouldn't say invents but leads one of the last step/last push before it came with the Black Sabbath album, also in an interview he Paul him self says Heltzer was because he heard that The Who's new Album was gonna be the meanest and Dirtiest thing there was and he said he wanted something like that. ruclips.net/video/TFE0WF5Nv-E/видео.html&ab_channel=BeatleStories
Invented is a strong word man. I would say he helped inspire the ones that made heavy metal.
Everyone should be able see why McCartney is one of the greatest musicians of all time.
You forgot to say: the most important living musician right now! a legend!
Richard Lee Paul is genuinely one of the most impressive musicians that have EVER existed, pioneered rock and roll, alongside and after Elvis, gave Heavy Metal the recognition it deserved and made a ton of amazing songs, some beautiful some kickass like this, and he’s one of the kindest and most humble people in the music industry. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Paul so yeah he is the greatest of all time.
Ikr people now just listen to crap like “yummy”
...and one of most beautiful people I've ever seen...
@@BARBRAPEACE this was very well done !!
the birth of heavy metal
You Really Got Me, My Generation, and Satisfaction were the birth of hard metal/hard rock. This came way later. Still very innovative though.
Those are hard rock songs and don't really have that metal sound. This song along with I Wanna Be Your Dog and The Nile Song / Ibiza bar are mentioned as first "metal" songs on Wikipedia.
TheMateyl That's true, but I'm sure metal was influenced by hard rock and probably wouldn't exist without it. But hell, one could trace it all the way back to blues from the 20s and talk about how rock and roll wouldn't exist without that either. Either way, I do believe Paul would have been influenced by the works of the Who, the Kinks and the Stones when he wrote this.
i agree
You really got me, My Generation, Satisfaction, then this and Voodoo Child. Voodoo Child is much more metal than this song when done live, if you've seen his Stockholm performances. Electric church music they called it ;)
This song just proves how ahead of their time the beatles were...
The Ramones named themselves after Paul Ramon, a stage name Paul used when the Beatles were getting started.
Yes!!!
They weren't ahead of their time, they made our times what they are now
@@brandonsaquariumsandterrar8985 they led the way
William joined The Beatles in late 1966.
How did everyone manage to repress the temptation to shout "I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON ME FINGERS!!!!"?
***** Unfortunately I didn't resist and everyone in a 5 mile radius heard me
I covered this with a friend at an open mic once and he begged me not to say it... but i did.
I would have totally have done it and never regret it
***** It's from the original song that was on the album...
Ahahahahah
The Beatles were not some pop band. They're truly the best rock band of all time!
Brother, if Lemmy agrees with you, no one can possibly disagree based on any sensible grounds...
No i prefer zappa
I mean there are some equally good bands
POR QUE??
The Beatles or The Fab Four is the greatest and most influential band ever whether you like it or not
This is Grunge, this is Rock, this is Metal, this is Pop, this is Blues, this is Punk...
...this is music from the heart!
Yeah, it can easily be a great grunge song! For the begining of the album!
La pura verità, my friend
You got that right!! Mos def!!!
when a 70 years old man rocks more than ... so much pseudo, metal band !!!
His voice is still top-notch too, look at the kinds of notes this man reaches at fucking 70!
To be fair, he was about 62 years old at that moment. But anyway he's good.
It was in 2004...he was actually 72!
He is 74 now and it's been 12 years since
2004.
Proto Metal!
Paul is more metal than 90% of metal musicians these days
Damn straight!
nah
what does that even mean
@@oui2611 lmao fr talking out his ass
HARD ROCK
And so was born a new genre - HEAVY METAL
+Akash Singh Helter Skelter written 1967, recorded 1968...... Black Sabbath formed - 1968.
+Akash Singh lol bro just let it go this songs always insighted as a new guitar sound , Osborne abd many others claim Beatles as their sole inspiration
+Akash Singh The Kinks and The Who had a heavy sound before this.
+Akash Singh The Beatles invented metal. For their time it was metal. Black Sabbath most likely listened to this song and said hey, let's do music like this, but let's make it even more heavy.
Great...didn't ask for a rude comment but ok..
This song didn't create Heavy metal, but it was one of the heaviest stuff in it's time. Just think about it, Led Zeppelin just made their first album and Black Sabbath didn't even exist. Deep Purple as well. Jimi Hendrix also played some heavy songs. Steppenwolf... Quite a lot of bands played heavy music but Beatles were known as a pop or rocknroll band and then they wrote this. And Beatles were number one. Helter Skelter certainly helped heavy music to exist. Period.
helter skelter 1967
Black sabah
Deep Purple exists since 1968. They are older than Led Zeppelin.
Cream has to be thrown in when we're talking about early heavy music.
+Tobias Peschel they're both from 1968
Raoul Duke Okay, but Deep Purple released their first album earlier than Led Zep.
If you're going to rock out, this is how you do it.
Reese Witherspoon you are a babe
Aren't I just?
+kalvin lol not just a babe... but a Louisiana babe !
Sophie -Grace hell yeah👍🏻
One of the most important songs in music history.
charles mason agreed
@@TheOnewhoKnocks573 r/cursedcomments
Paul still gots it
Has*
Patrîck gîll listen to his live stuff from 68' - 78' though. That's when no one could touch his singing! Try Beware My Love, Soily, Hi Hi Hi, Long Tall Sally (University Tour), Lucille, Maybe I'm Amazed, everything in the 70s.
Go check Long Tall Sally on Candlestick if you want something more recent, I think it was 2014
Critics: Paul McCartney only writes love ballads! Fluffy stuff that only teenage girls like.
Paul: GASP! I do *not*
Critics: "I wanna hold your hand" "Hello Goodbye" "Yesterday" etc.. He can't write anything heavy.
Paul: WELL then...
*writes Helter Skelter*
*invents heavy metal*
win
+Maren Denison This comment has so much win it it.
+Maren Denison He didn't invent it, 1965 Kinks - You really got me, 1966 Cream , June 1968 - Born to be Wild (if I'm not mistaking). Only then...
sevchyk well yeah, of course other groups were involved, I know that. It's still kinda funny tho- Paul helps pioneer a whole new _genre_ of music just to pwn critics
@105696328516782856377 Heavy metal would have existed without the Beatles, as it
evolved from Blues rock.
+sevchyk "Paul *helps* pioneer a whole new genre of music"
He just rocked the fuck out of that.
The ice cream truck in my neighborhood plays Helter Skelter
Lol wtf really?
I'm jealous
I get that reference lol
***** Finally, somebody gets it!
Slick Fifty I know this is a reference but that would be awesome
Thus is the birth of Heavy Metal, courtesy of The Beatles!
It goes back further than Paul. In the mid 50s, Elvis was trying to do a Heavy Metal sound without scaring the piss out of the public. If you listen to early Elvis songs like "Rip it Up", those heavy guitar licks his band did on those old songs was hard rock. The Beatles got their Hard Rock Sound from early Elvis songs. When Elvis got back out of the Army, he slowed it down, and that was a mistake that his manager, Parker, should have not let happen.
+Par Ker Sabbath was way before the stooges man. plus the stooges were punk
Bruh Sabbath invented the sound that influenced every single musician afterwards in the genre. If you listen to Maiden, Pantera, ect, you can hear the Sabbath influence. While Punk probably did influence metal, the connection is nowhere near as obvious. It is VERY widely accepted that Sabbath was the first metal band. Also the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, and the Clash were all more important to punk than the Stooges.
Who cares if they were around first. The Sex Pistols, Clash, and Ramones were way more inspirational. I personally don't really like punk but I know how legendary and revered those bands are. I have never heard of the New York Dolls
+John Sparks Who cares? No single band gave birth to a genre, they were all influenced by each other. You can't say that a band was "the first metal band"
I heard that this song was inspired by The Who's "I CAN SEE FOR MILES." Paul was looking forward to hearing this "NOISY" song...and was disappointed that it wasn't as wild and crazy as it had been hyped to be. So, Paul was determined to write a truly noisy song, and came up with Helter Skelter. He got his wish...some would say that this was the birth of the "heavy metal" sound...
Amazing what Wikipedia say
Who else thinks this inspired "What is Hip" by Tower of Power?
Both songs amazing tho
"I can see for miles"... It's strange that Pete described it as their "dirtiest" etc. cause "The Ox" (1965) for example is much more agressive.
One of the greatest songwriters of all time.
@@--REGULAR--REGULAR he said "One of"
When it's Sir Paul you don't need to put prefix- one of
He is the greatest. Period.
I love how Paul found this song hard to sing in 1967 but he absolutely nails this one at age like, 64
Played the album version to my 9yr old daughter who knows many Beatles songs. I asked her who sings it and she replies with Guns N Roses and Metallica 🤣. Her jaw hit the floor when i told her it was The Beatles. THE BEST OF ALL TIME!
:D
For a man of his age Paul has great energy in his performances and still has the same one of a kind voice that he has always had.
Well he’s Paul freakin McCartney man!!!😜🤪😜🤭😎
1:34 taking his voice to the edge, nothing like the McCartney vocal strain!
Led Zeppelin: We invented heavy metal
Paul McCartney: Hold my White Album
Nah. Led Zep came out with first album before this, and Hendrix had some heavy songs before as well.
@@luvittodeath7031 Paul: Hold it anyway
Romchikthelemon I’m no Beatles fan (too poppish for me), I just like the song. So if that’s a Beatles joke I won’t get it
Cream and Hendrix came before white album.
Samuel Rodrigues exactly. This guy is just a Beatles fan and believes if the Beatles did it they invented it which is untrue
I'm speechless... His vioce didn't change at all since 60's! How the hell it is possible!? I have NEVER EVER seen 70 old man giving sooo amazing performance like this...
Well, he was 63 here, but he stills sings it really well these days I agree.
Well, he's a vegetarian, which means he _also_ likely stays away from hard alcohol and cigarettes, which can really damage the vocal cords over time.
He seems to stay within a certain vocal range too--never goes too "out of control" with the high notes. Most of his repertoire, whether solo or Beatles work, is fairly mellow stuff that doesn't rely too heavily on going all-out with the vocals.
Nicholas Tosoni well, he smoked liked a chimney and since he did weed and lsd I don't think he didn't drink alcohol. I guess he is just really lucky too.
It definitely has changed.
Sylvia495862 that's why he's a flipping knight, he is a legend long live sir Paul
As a huge heavy/ death/ speed/ thrash metal fan, I must admit this song kicks fucking ass even in 2020. I have listened to Kinks, Steppenwolf and all that and while they're all very good bands who helped create heavy music, none of their songs are as heavy as this one. Paul has single handedly invented heavy metal
I agree
Still listen in 2022
This is so much better than the studio version. Gotta be my favorite Beatles song.
Exactly! The studio version cannot give the emotion that this one gives.
The studio version is more raw and energetic, also has better instrumentals
And also I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS
I prefer the album. Take 17 was much heavier though.
Take 50th anniversary mix by Giles, it's really crispy
..........I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!!!
that was Ringo
That was Paul!
this song is so heavy. fucking love it
I'm 81 and I love this as much now as ever
What a great song! Woke up this morning and invented HM while brushing
I got the butterflies watching Paul sing this
At over 70 years old, Sir Paul McCartney can rock harder than all modern artists, bravo!
Paul is what rock and roll is all about. We are so lucky to have him!
Besides of the fact that this was the first song in heavy metal history, you might hear this and think Paul's singing in a 1970-80 concert, it's his essence, and it's clearly visible despite of all the time.
What a song... Rock/Metal classic!
Has to be one of the birthing points of metal. Wow what amazing talent McCartney and the beatles brought to the world.
this left me speechless how is he still so fucking amazing
The pioneers of heavy metal.
We were blessed when this guy picked up a guitar.
And this is one of the many reasons the Beatles were the best band ever, they could write songs and play everything from pop to heavy metal.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned what a fantastic band he's playing with
Proper sound systems make Beatles songs sound much, much better!
Never knew that on the original, John played Bass. The Beatles were just exploding with Talent.
That riff blows my brains away every time i hear it, even the intro makes me all excited
I like this better than the recording
Insane! Helllllllllllltttterrrrr skeeeelllllllllllllter...lots of fun when we were kids in Scotland
This is amazing and Paul McCartney has voice of young dude great band sounds bit like Beatles though
You can't get any helterer or skelterer than Paul McCartney! Yes he is!
I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!
(...) on me fingers!
The later Beatles were pure hard rock and Roll
The first Heavy Metal
I think the same
Nope Trash Metal there's a huge difference
Let's try: The first Metal.... Without this... Neither will be born
Wagner Mattos yeah it was. This was officially the first metal song to ever get published.
@@antlereddruid8359 "officially"?? Lol you're talking so much shit, ignorant dickhead. This isn't metal, and it wasn't the first heavy song to be made. You clearly don't know much about music.
BEST LIVE VERSION, I think...from the BEST songwriter ever!!
Sir Paul McCartney! The REAL 'King of Rock & Roll'!!
waaaaaaaaaa!!! This guy's gonna LIVE FOREVER, man! =D
He was and still is one of the best!
Paul has always surrounded himself with good musicians.... But this drummer absolutely crushes the bottom! Love it!!
The man is a genius. Seen him many times and he just gets better and better
Sir Paul McCartney is a legend!
History might've been a bit different if the Beatles had performed this song for their Ed Sullivan American TV debut. . .
PURE LEGEND !!!
This song inspired me as a young guy. Whenever I heard it, I felt powerful. It was like, look out world, I’m comin through and you better get out of the way! I still feel the same way in my sixties....it’s a great feeling!
Saw him in San Diego CA a few years ago. Voice on point. He was amazing!!!!
This dude is in his 60's-70's and still goes hammm! :)
This particular performance is heavier than some metal I've heard.
This is metal
Technically
This song is way ahead of it's time. It shows big qualities of hard rock and metal. I think this song helped sprout hard rock. This whole performance is amazing!
oh la la !! a Masterpiece !!!!! THANK YOU sir!!
This the REAL Paul McCartney. AWESOME
2022 and this still goes hard as hell.
Paul you are the best. You blow my mind!
One awesome 70 year old!! \m/
Birth of hard rock/metal
I think Paul is the greatest
I love all his creations with music
He is genius
Великий Человек, Он подарил миру хард рок и заложил азы Хеви металла! Он Наилучший Маэстро! Честь и Хвала!
OMG!! I used 2 listen 2 this, n now its even Better!! Rhis song eocks out!!!
Gr8est song EVA mos def!!!!
Still great voice paul. True music before metal.
Absolute Legend! Been listening to you for 47yrs Paul.Keep on rocking! Btw, my mum(who died aged 44) met Paul and the lads in Jersey in 63. He made her so happy that they were so friendly towards her and her mate. I'm forever grateful for that.
Sorry to hear about your mum mine past away at 42 I was 12 then
@@johnland1528 12 is a very rough age to lose a parent, especially your mum. Must have been incredibly difficult for you, John. So sorry for you. My mum died a few weeks before my 23yr birthday, I had a son less than 6 months old, and my youngest sibling was 2 and a half. I can remember the phonecall (family all live in ROI,) and how I felt at the time. So empty. You come to terms with it, but so many times I've wished she was still with us. She'd be 74 now.
I am 54 know I try to tell people u better be good to ur mom u will never have another one
Finest version of this song.
Paul mccartney is still rockin'.
70 years old and better than all the trash pop that plays on the radio today

I would say this is the first Metal song.
37 years later...still fucking epic!
Thanks Uncle Paul!
Holy shit.
