not saying he isn't a musical genius, but any decent musician should be able to write multiple good songs a year, Jimmy page wrote, (the music) for rock n' roll, stairway to heaven, over the hills and far away, and when the levee breaks in a year
This man puts in more effort here than so called rock singers like Jon Bon Jovi have done since about 1991,no ballad versions of songs he can't hit the notes on any longer for our Paul!!Balls out!
"I want you she's so heavy" in abbey road is pretty hard too, and the screaming part in "i've got a feeling" on let it be is close to the screams and intensity of "helter skelter". not on the same level and it's just a few seconds, but the thing is there.
It's from 2005, so more than 10 years ago, but still, he was 63 there, still quite impressive. If you take good care of your voice, it will give you many years of sounding good.
Paul McCartney playing the song he wrote in 1968 trying to out-dirt The Who (while in The Beatles). By writing this song, he created Acid Rock and Heavy Metal. This guy is a genius. I don't think there's anyone like him in pop music, with such endless creativity.
Let's face it, the gritty guitar sound was around before that, The Kinks were doing it in 1964 with You really got me and All day and all of the night, Dave Davies slashing an amplifier to create that gritty guitar sound, before The Who or The Beatles, but they are often overlooked, I think Ray Davies is super underrated as a songwriter
@@funwithfish1507: The White Album is a true musician´s / fan´s album. Not for critics or one-dimensional listeners looking for cookie-cutter sameness. There´s a lot of ingenious material on that double-disk. An album, (to me) of nothing but hard rock, or fusion or whatever that doesnt include peaks and valleys and various moods is boring no matter how heavy it is. I love Helter Skelter but an entire double album of like material would be an utter bore.
I love heavy music of all kinds from punk to metal, but an album sounding the same is boring. The White Album has a lot of different sounds, that’s why it’s awesome. Also, heavy music isn’t the only type of music that is good. Just listen to the bass line on For The Benefit of Mr. Kite or Something. They are not hard and heavy songs but they are pure masterclasses in music composition and artistry.
Paul kicking major butt on this one. I saw him on this tour in Miami , Fl. He did this song for one of his Encore's and he blew us all out of our seats. Loud. Liights Sound Rock and Roll way to go Paul.
"It's not the weapon that makes the hero, it's hero that makes the weapon."... Paul McCartney proved just that. Now the Hofner violin bass is a hall of famer.
Wow, that is some of the worst audience I have ever seen. This is Sir Paul McCartney playing Helter Skelter, one of The Beatles' heaviest songs and kicking arse, yet their reaction is so lifeless and flat. :/
At least most of them seemed to listen to the music and watch the great performer instead of ruining other people's experience by yelling and jumping or holding up their mobile phones and taking some crappy photos or videos. The best audience is completely silent and still when the performer is playing.
That guy's been Paul's drummer for ages. Name's Abe Laboriel Jr. He"s really versatile. He can play in Ringo's unique style better than anyone I've heard (barring Ringo himself in his prime).
I love both The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, but I wouldn’t say this was the road map for them. If anything, it would be old blues music, The Yardbirds for obvious reasons, and maybe The Who.
Blows my mind...... I just listened through all of their albums... Incredible how these guys experimented and evolved. And I haven't even watched The Wire yet.
Beatles didn't play this song live, becouse they stopped their live performances in 1966.The main reason is that Paul Mccartney was outvoted by John, George and Ringo.I suppose that Paul Mccartney suffered due to lack of live performances.
The first true fucking heavy, heavy rock…. No holds bard song from the Beatles. Heavy Rock …? Who cares …. One of the best heavy rock songs perhaps ever written to let the next generation have a runway to land onto. Cheers to the world. From Quebec, Canada. Peace and love to all……
When I was 15 I called WMET radio everyday requesting this song. About a year later they finally started playing it. I can't believe I'm hearing Paul playlist live. So underrated one of the best Beatles songs! Of course, I've said that about a bunch of other Beatles songs too! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
Imagine a supergroup with paul, and his friends krist and Dave from Nirvana, Jeff Lynne as a backup compositor and producer, joe walsh as a rythm guitarrist, eric as Main guitar, and Ringo or Abe Laboriel as drummers. Sorry I was just dreaming :(
True story : saw Paul at Minute Maid stadium and had seats where he was probably 100 ft away from me. NOT CLOSE ENOUGH . So I suaved my way up to the SECOND ROW with only ONE seat available. To say I didn’t have a voice would be a understatement. Love long Paul. King
Because this was an official vid uploaded by live 8, I'd like to think that the editing focused more on capturing a cleaner and crisper sound by Macca and the band rather than the screams and hollers of the audience. I'm sure people still went wild upon hearing that song.
The crowd was loud. What most likely happened was the crowd noises were muted so us internet people could listen to it well. I had a friend that went to that same concert and he had stated that it was so loud he couldn’t even hear Paul singing
Unfortunately, time marches on. The same could be said for Brian Wilson who was in top form with his solo band at that time, and he’s sadly suffering from dementia now.
His music is timeless the Beatles took music to another level ! I am just glad I was born in the fifties to see all this amazing music and people ! Mods and rockers ! Wow 🤩 would not have missed it for the world 🌎 thank you 🙏 Jesus

Those drums can handle it but the FOH can't handle them cause they sound shiet.
Normally he would not, but I heard he got blisters on his fingers after playing this.
backslash68 - I started to use gloves in concerts but found it difficult to twirl my sticks. In the larger clubs I did not use the gloves.

his voice is still in good form, here.
15 years ago sadly

Man I wish Paul wrote some more hard rock songs like this. He had an amazing voice for these type of songs whenever he did dip into the heavier stuff.
Listen to nod your head
Listen to some songs on McCartney III
Heavy metal*
Slidin' from Mccartney III
@@rihaofficial of course it's called slidin', like helter skelter being about a slider
Imagine if John and George were still with us and they played like this today.

Bloody thinking the same thing. I think Led Zeppelin thought that when they heard this.
I wish! Blows my mind they even pumped this bad boy out. The white album is something else man.
I’d say the hardest song next to this is yer blues.

From Blackbird to This.
God given Genius.
On the same album as well
@@alfiemitchell3026 Hey Jude was also recorded during the White Album sessions
The same album which also has an 8+ minute avant-garde sound collage piece.
The imagination & inventiveness & thinking outside the box approach to music & song writing of Lennon & McCartney is & always will be unmatched.

The first time I heard this song on the White Album I could NOT believe how heavy it was. Easily one of my top 5 Beatles songs!

I don’t care how old this man gets, he will always be music’s biggest badass.

Helter Skelter is one natural force of a song!
From the guy who only write grandma's songs
Another thing John wanted us to think was lame was how excited Paul was to have a family home life. Unless it's Yoko and Sean.
@@thebrazilianatlantis165 woooshh

One of the first truly HEAVY METAL songs.
I'm suprised how much energy and strength he managed to get in his voice for his old age.
Paul loves being a rock star and performing.
Great live version. This song rocks, quite the toe tapper.
I've felt more excited watching this on my phone than the people in the crowd
As a die-hard Stones fan I have to say:
This is by far the best Beatles-song
Helter Skelter Gimme Shelter!
👍👍
Genauso isses 👍
bruh even the old FIFA crowds show more excitement than these people.

I love how energetic the drummer is really shows how much he enjoys it
Does my head in.
This band Paul has had for years really is effing SOLID.
And this man was called the king of "Soft Rock" at one time.
Paul is one of those rare songwriters who could do pretty much any genre he wanted and do it well.
Helter Skelter was the road map for Led Zeppelin just like Hey Jude was for Coldplay's whole career. Thank you Paul 4Ever, none can touch you.
No lmfao it was definitely not for Led Zeppelin
my man not at all for the zeppelin influence remark
I love both The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, but I wouldn’t say this was the road map for them. If anything, it would be old blues music, The Yardbirds for obvious reasons, and maybe The Who.
The Coldplay statement is pretty accurate
Sounds so much like the original recording. Hats off to Paul & his very talented entourage.
Killer version. Blows everything else to bits.
Bruhhhhhhh 💀💀💀💀
This is amazing! He still delivers it with tons of energy and a great voice.
Dude, The Beatles are the true inventors of heavy metal!
Blows my mind...... I just listened through all of their albums... Incredible how these guys experimented and evolved.
And I haven't even watched The Wire yet.
No, my friend, no. They played a heavy sound in the late 60s that others pioneered.
Not only heavy metal but hard rock
@@waldemaralder5689 HEAVY METAL BRO
No Black Sabbath did

probably the best moment of that drummers life we’re witnessing
The drummer is a beast!!!! You hear that man's backing vocals? So awesome. Just awesome!!!!!
Lets not think about the time when he and Ringo are gone but celebrate the time the Beatles shaped our lives
The vocal longevity to sing like this 40 years after the fact. Tell me how many heavy rock singers have done that.
One of the best singers ever, 40 years later and still singing like when the song was first recorded
Wow, you can really notice that amazing bass in this one. That Hofner still rocks 💪🏼
Props to the Drummer for playing like a beast and still pulling off backing vocals.
I need a drummer like that in my band!
Aneesh V - You could not afford me.
The energy Abe Laboriel brings to this is undeniable! This is probably my favourite version of this song 🤘😁🤘
Saw Paul in Newcastle, Australia last month. Legendary, it was a FANTASTIC concert.
Even better than album.Paul s voice is a true force of nature.
The song that got me into heavy metal and rock back in 1983 when I was a young lad🎸
Dude doesn't miss a beat, WOW! My heart skipped a beat when he first starts belting out those high notes.
