|
|
|||||||||

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

kraftwerk > venetian snares |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we all know what that means tolstoyed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why are you always picking on me? what did i ever do to you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It just dawned on me that everyone here is childish. Is everyone in their teens? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
snares is great but also kraftwerk... but better than those two is tolstoyed |

you clearly don't spend enough time around here... |

You'll enjoy it, he's still a decent performer, and has the best personal back catalogue of any human being on earth to draw from, and he knows it. I love his live performances of We Can Work it Out. There's a few Beatles standards he does that sound better live than on record... Got to Get You Into My Life usually sounds great. |

I knew you would fall into this thread sooner o later thanks |

paul mccartney is an immensely talented musician. sure, he can be annoying as shit, and gets cheesier and more banal by the day. even in the beatles he was the cheesiest one. but the man has an innate ear for a circular, complex, and clever melody line like no other. i think it's a thing you're either born with or not, similar in a way to snares' ability to write in 7/8 fairly effortlessly. i certainly wouldn't pass an opportunity like that by; it very well might be the last opportunity to see a beatle live, barring the 2006 ringo tour. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly! but in the begining there was some 15 minutes of "electronic" mixed music (I think from the album mcartney2) while there was some kind of medieval circus acting on stage. IT WAS FUCKING GREAT! I will remember this for the rest of my life |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed....he`s an absolute cock lord |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whenever u see his picture in the media he always has his mouth slightly open, his lips in an 'o' shape why is that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pauls the shit. piss off wankers. :D not but seriously, whats wrong with him? Ive never seen him act like a dick or anything... did I miss something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
opheck I thought of you while I was at the concert.. I thought " ophecks would be in heaven right now if he were here" ok its not like seeing the beatles or anything, but it was pure energy and lott of feeling into the acting... some moments remembering john were pure magic it was a great act... with my favourite moment being the "live and let die" explosion of fires and lights |
||||||||

I knew you were going to like this, the much maligned Paul is still the best performer around. I'll catch a Paul concert before he dies (or I do). He'll be playing to the end. And not for the money, he's got enough of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that feeling i had if he does it its not for the money I think they loved how people reacted to the show |
||||||||

|
mccartney was the best beatle |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just one word: Wings. enough reason why he should be disliked. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isnt the album mcartney 2 a little electronic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A bit. It's more synth based, typical late 70's electronic/80's new wave. He also has an ambient ''alter-ego'' called The Fireman, a collaboration with a guy that worked with The Orb, made a couple of albums like that. He used to play some Fireman tracks at the start of concerts... maybe that's what you heard? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly I thought I was going to see an old glory of the past but I saw a great performer with the best repertory in the world |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wow, I just realized while listening to some clips of one of the concerts that Paul played You Won't See Me for the first time EVER during the Spain shows... 39 years after it was written. What took him so long? That's my favorite song in history, and the dipshit never performed it live for me until now. Great performance, though. The ''la la laas'' and ''ooooo''s are perfect for crowd participation. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
how do you know he made us sing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I would've likde to see George Harrison... too bad we went and died! |
||||||||

Didn't McCartney upset a few people a couple of years ago by insisting the writing credits in all Beatles albums and sheet music be changed to McCartney&Lennon, instead of the trademark (literally) and alphabetic Lennon&McCartney? I think that pissed off a lot of people that were close to John. It did seem like a rather bitter thing to do; resurrecting the memories of their strained artistic relationship almost twenty years after John had died. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he remembered john in the concert... it was a beautiful moment I dont believe you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's always than it seems at first glance.. It would seem that my understanding of this situation was not the whole story. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
very interesting well.... I understand mcartney cos those 19 songs where he wanted to change lennon & mcartney for : mcartney & lennon were really almost 100% by mcartney alone, so thats why I understand paul but if you ask me, I think he shouldnt have.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
youve just got to shout out for 'Imagine' and 'Jake the peg' |

Paul shouldn't have done it, and I'd wager it was a hard thing for him to do, but in the grand scheme of things, it's really not a big deal. Nobody's perfect, and everybody has an ego. If I wrote every word and note of a song like Yesterday, I'd want people to know about it, and I'd want my name first. No doubt about it, he wanted it that way then and regretted ''the handshake'', not knowing they were going to be so huge, and he wants it that way now. He wants to be remembered as THE MAN that wrote that song. And can you blame him? Until you write the most popular song in history, you can't see it HIS way. And there's much more to this story than we know about. Please Please Me has ALWAYS been ''McCartney/Lennon'', never been a big deal. I think L/M being set in stone was stupid, and they knew it, it was a naive decision by naive young men. And it was bound to create some problems and tension. This wasn't your everyday bar band, and they're only human... It was a bit of a dickhead thing to do on Paul's part (bet he wouldn't have done it if John was around, heh), but when taking into consideration all the millions of things Paul has done to keep John's memory alive (that concert just one of many), you simply can't say Paul has ever tried to downplay John's achievements or be anything less than a great ambassador of his partner. It was a fuckup, but it was the only one. A completely logical fuckup. And I bet spiting Yoko Ono had something to do with it, too... I wonder, would John mind? I doubt it, really. John wasn't too complimentary of some of those songs. ;-) He'd LOOOOVE to get his name taken off the credits of ''When I'm 64''! |
