@@357HFC Well, such a classic duo, whose talents fitted together like a jigsaw, who just happened to be born at the same time, a few streets away, and somehow bumped into each other, to become world famous - just like the Beatles, who just happened to be born at the same time, same area, and somehow got together and made incredible history.
Gotta say, Paul looks great here with a shorter hairstyle, looking very much like he did in '62-'63...he actually looks younger here than he did in the '70's when he was sporting various longer hairstyles with sideburns and the occasional moustache...
John and Paul were really totally bonded by life, history, and a true philial compassion. Paul without John is sad. Yoko meant no harm, and in fact, gives Paul true credit, but her experience with John is rally what she has to hold on to. I can't fault her. Still, as good as Lennon was alone, he was better with McCartney, as was McCartney with Lennon. Each Beatle was individually talents, but together, they blew away their peers.
Wow.. They Really loved each other. Very sad for them both that they never got to be pals again. but i think we all have situations like that in our lives..
They were friends again, actually, to the extent that it was possible at that time. They didn’t rehash the old crap to “forgive”. They just forgot about it, and slowly started speaking again here and there. Don’t forget, John was so brainwashed by Yoko during this time, he didn’t have much time for anybody else really. Including his own first born. How can you really get close to someone like that, whether you had a fight or not?? Had John lived, I firmly believe they would have reunited here and there to work on a couple projects. It might have taken another twenty years, but it would’ve happened.
LouRomiOfficial I’m not a Yoko hater, but that irritated me with her condescension about 1/2 of the most successful songwriting partnership in history.
I remember this segment like I just saw it yesterday. The line that stuck out to me the most was when he explained what Lennon brought to "Getting Better." I literally just looked up "Getting Better" on Wikipedia with the hope that it would reference that creative collaboration, and it did! The reference link brought me here, and there was the line I remembered from so long ago. Ah, the Internet. Thank you for posting this.
As much as Lennon and McCartney came together, and shared early loss of their mothers, love of music, and close proximity, their similarities ended quite quickly there. In some ways, they were nothing like each other, and their strong differences, were really the key, to their world smashing success. Lennon, who obviously, had musical genius, needed McCartney to provide the grounding, fertile environment, strong input of ideas, feedback, competition, and shit hot teaming, to launch this partnership into space. In the end, they fell out, as they always had to... be grateful for the time they spent together....
@@gretchennelson9965 rubbish. No two people are alike. They can share interests or some ideas, but there will always be differences. Personality wise, John and Paul were far apart, and that they teamed as brilliantly as they did, for as long as they did, was a blessing. Just as there was a blessing for them to work together as they did, there was also the time bomb which would develop to rip them apart. John's musical genius, unrestrained thinking, and rebellion, were never going to last with Paul's more commonsense way of operating. Often the very best teaming results in acrimony at the end.
@@gretchennelson9965 Linda's opinion is terribly subjective. They may have seemed more alike to her than different, but on what traits did she base her assessment? John could cruel people to the bone, and did actually hurt Paul's feelings. Paul was nothing like that. Their brilliant partnership came from their differences. If John wrote songs with another John, we would all eventually be bored shitless.
I hate how Yoko just completely disregards the fact that John and Paul were best friends and two of the best musicians to grace the earth. She just ignores their friendship, and part of me feels she was jealous because she couldn't be in their little fraternity because she wasn't there at the start.
+Laurelindo She is not alented at all let's face it!And John chose very well his first partner it was just more than great,insane👍👍👍👍but his second partner... the guy was clearly into drugs!!
I think Yoko is trying to actually put herself on the same level as Mccartney & Lennon. NOOOOOOOO YOKO!!!!!!!!!! They don't just scream. They actually sung & wrote music
Okay, I'm paraphrasing here, but Yoko says, Paul was John's partner... before I became John's partner... and slowly tore apart the greatest songwriting partnership in the recorded history of man. (1:29)
Rory Preston SOLO -- she was no musical partner to him. When he went back toher after their 2yr breakup, he was blocked musically for 5 years. She didn't care a bit, left him every day all day to "work" on his finances, increase money coming in. Only when he could get away from her again (Bermuda with Sean for an extended trip) could he write.
char west - yeah I know, but maybe someone needed to split up the beatles if they weren't going to let George have any songs - All things must pass would still be just a pile of rejects, plastic ono band and imagine both had a fair amount of Yoko's input and turned out fine in my opinion, John stopped in 1975 to be a father to Sean so what if he stopped writing, it's what he wanted. I see all these people bang on about Yoko and find it funny that they fail to realise john wouldn't have written a fart for you lot - he was happy.....unless you're about to suggest he had a gun to his head the entire relationship
Rory Preston true, George had some good music, but he could still have put them out on his own, as side projects. Just like John was making movies in his down time. The guys were starting to explore single projects as well as Beatle ones. No-one had to break them up for them to also do their own things, now that they had decided they weren't going to tour for the time being. I think the real reason they broke up was John, after years of Yoko belittling the Beatles and trivializing them, finally became embarrassed in her eyes to continue his association with them. Those meaningful LOOKS she would give John at Twickenham -- in between sitting silent and morose, either hanging onto John or screaming at him. The disrespect she showed The Beatles, sitting on amps, eating their biscuits, pretending she couldn't walk to lie on a bed while they rehearsed, vocalizing while Paul was trying to write. George quit because of it. On her part, I think Yoko was insecure and very jealous of John's relationship with Paul. She once even said that if Paul were a woman she would be VERY jealous of him because she could FEEL the vibrations between them. She was keen to break that up, and succeeded. Doesn't make it for the best though. Also, Yoko was an avant-garde conceptual artist, not a musician. Why did she assume she could be his "musical partner" at all? She certainly wasn't the musical partner to John that Paul was. A best she was just a muse to him, not a help in the actual composing. Lots of artists (Titian, Picasso, etc.) have muses, but we don't credit them as equals to the actual artist. Most of the time we don't even remember their names. Patti Boyd was a muse for both George Harrison and Eric Clapton -- still doesn't make her their partners in the songs they wrote. Doesn't make her a musician. When John was a "househusband" for FIVE YEARS and didn't pick up a guitar once Yoko didn't care. What kind of "musical partner" is that? All she cared about during that time was his money, and she left him every day to pursue increasing it. Nothing to do with music.
char west I'm not trying to claim Yoko Ono is a great artist I think we can all agree on that but if John was happy then that should be good enough for any fan. When I listen to the songs he wrote about her, Don't let me down, oh Yoko, I can really feel the truth in those songs, its a beautiful thing
paul always had a problem discussing feelings, especially his `love/hate `relationship with john...notice how he starts fidgeting with his ear when discussing yoko`s chat about john`s love for paul....they were like brothers.
Has anyone realized that everytime Paul is asked a question about John or even talks about him, he starts doing something with his mouth. He twists bis tongue, bites his lips or something like that... Crazy🙈🤔
Maybe it's because his 30s were quite stressful, with the band break up and the fall out. And having a young family. That will age you more than anything😁
A good songwriter?! Yeah, and Einstein was kinda smart. Paul was John's writing partner and changed pop music. Yoko was a home-wrecker who also helped break up The Beatles.
One of the interesting things about UA-cam is how you can watch people like Paul discuss the same subjects at different stages of their life. At 5:07 he gives us, just 4 years after Lennon's death, a sober, realistic account of the final state of their relationship. On the right of this page he's on Parkinson years later saying they'd made it all up and were "really great friends". That's not a criticism of Paul, merely an observation of what we all tell ourselves to "make it all right.."
I find a sense of narcissism coming from Yoko when she says that first John picked Paul then her as a partner. It seems as if she is conflating the meaning of a musical partner to a relationship partner. As John once said “She couldn’t Rock & Roll with me and I couldn’t avant-garde with her…”
Thank God you did not say anything about the absurd “Paul is Faul” crapola. 😅 It’s good to know that there are still some sane people on earth that do not believe in that nonsense🙌
Stop calling him Macca. Nobody ever called him Macca until the Millennials why do you say that? His name is Paul. Everybody called him Paul. What if I started calling John Lenna or George Haha. Or I call Ringo Ringydingy? Kind of sounds stupid huh?
Lennon was a huge loss to the world, he was far from perfect and would be embarrassed about the way he has been built into a messiah figure by some, he was human and all of us are floored. Pauli’s a real genius in my opinion, in terms of overall musicianship he goes beyond Lennon on quite a few fronts, towards the end, Lennon was churning out mediocre material, there are some gems, but he never burnt as bright as when he was at his creative best in The Beatles in my humble opinion.
I think he was just tired and worn out by that point. Paul still had a lot of drive even after the Beatles, but even his material got boring very fast.
I don't think that (although debatable in of itself) really matters. John Lennon was the driving force behind The Beatles during their formative years. John was the one who later introduced wild Surrealism, and unusual concepts during their ground breaking 1966-1968 Psychedelic music period as well. The Rubber Soul album is highlighted by things like: Norweigan Wood, Girl, Nowhere Man, and In My Life - songs that still sounds breathtakingly "original", and fresh 60 years later. Lennon wrote the band's World Anthem "All You Need Is Love" at the height of their 1967 artistic peak. Nobody else could have ever written a song like that. Lennon was a once in a century figure in so many ways (just look at his wacky cartoon art, and surrealistic book writings). He was the band's true genuis, and all of Popular Music itself and Rock-n-Roll lost its whole intellectual and creative edge after Lennon was murdered. Today's music is just unimaginative, boring "looped" garbage over largely lifeless digital backings -- and very annoying "polticial correctness" (submissiveness). If John Lennon were still here today there would be a whole different energy, and a different creativity going on. Just imagine what Lennon would have to say about the state of The World today such as: Forced-Mandated Vaccines, Covid Lockdowns, Big Tech Censorship, Thought - Police, Stolen Elections, Cutting off domestic Energy Production, Critical Race Theory, Fake News Media, and all the other chaos and mass dsyfunction going on in The World today. John Lennon was the kind of "difference maker" who would not let this World Government Tyranny go unchallenged without a fight. Paul McCartney was just an Entertainer (a good one). There's nothing wrong with that. But John Lennon was so much more than that. Lennon was a man that shaped entire public thought, and used his landmark Music to cut through all the B.S. and through the oppressive Political and Cultural Establishment. If there is one message and one take away from John Lennon it is: Think For Yourself, and Always Challenge Authority. John Lennon was the "difference maker" that made The Beatles beyond just a great band and .. true Legends.
@@FreeSociety1 I read so many people saying the music of today is unimaginative but it’s just not true. Sure, if you just listen to mainstream radio!! It’s out there, but you have to know where to look. There are lots of creative and truly brilliant musicians out there, if anything the talents only developed further. There are people on UA-cam playing guitar in a way that could never have been imagined in the 60s
@@camillajonsson6819 It was always McCartney who was the one that has been treated like Royalty, and the one adored and fawned over. Lennon was always treated LOUSY by the Press, and also by many fans as well (partly because of the anti-Yoko backlash). And of course the U.S. Government tried to get Lennon permanently Deported out of the Country on his butt in the 1970s, and then the CIA finally assassinated him (using a patsy) in 1980. So lets stop all this "messiah" talk here. Lennon was always treated as "controversial", and never got the mainstream musical recognition that he deserved. All the biographies about Lennon just focus on his personal life trauma, and say very little at all about his imaginative musical mind, originality (on many levels), and his musical creativity, or about his Leadership role at critical points in The Beatles development, or about his great guitar riffs and guitar styling (guitar chord choices/changes, right-hand syncopation, lead solo work, etc.). All the Beatles were essential to the band. But I lived through those lives , and John Lennon was a one-in-century type of IMPACT figure (on multiple levels too). The CIA would have never bothered with him at all, if he was not.
John was well aware of that. He talked about not liking his voice, disliked many of his own songs and lyrics. Paul need help by a band (wings or co writer to make a great album too. my humble opinion.
Paul and John loved and respected each other like all brothers they had envy anger but in the end if one was in trouble the other would do what ever they could to help his brother
Sardine John had fought for years to get his Green Card. Eventually he won and had the Green Card. The USA can never be seen to lose so, the CIA steps in with a brainwashed cunt call Chapman and assassinates John.
If I were going to invent a conspiracy theory, it would be that Yoko paid someone to shoot John because he was planning to get together to work with Paul in January (which he was).
@@loosilu i think yoko is/was a pretty wicked and manipulative woman but she's no courtney love and paul brought yoko back together with john after they had broken up quite some time ago, and why wouldn't she want them to work together again?
I did not say that I hate Yoko at all, I just stated the truth... That some have tried to cover the fact that Cynthia was his first wife & the mother of his fist child Julian... She was Johns wife & Yoko did stalk John before he left Cyn & Julian for Yoko ...Peace & Love to you ..
It's frustrating when they play music in the background as Paul's talking because I get so wrapped up in the music that I have to go back and focus all my energy on what he's saying.
Paul is so real. Has a great sense of self deprecating humour. Glad to know his last call w/John was about family, normal things in their life. All four are (were) really so normal to have had all that happened to them. flakbac still love you too, even though you are a major A**.
Because she's not talking as a "creative partner". That's what people miss. She's hinting at how she knows that Paul was John's actual first wife. The one person he loved all his life and that she could never quite replace.
@@defaultc00kies63 She definitely means both creative and romantic partner. John specifically said so. But yes, I think we all know who the first wife was. The one who Apple staff referred to as "John's princess."
Paul always seemed honest about things. I mean yeah he sued the other beatles in 69/70 but at the end of the day mccartney wrote the bulk of the songs with lennon and played lots of different instruments on beatles albums. The guy worked hard for that beatles money and fame.
Do you really think that John, with his amazing insight, would not have come up with amazing songs on his own??? Seriously??? I cannot give her any credit, sry. John is John. He would have created on his own and maybe created more if he hadn't taken his 4 yrs off to be a mom. I would love to know what would have become of John without her and where he would be today. Can't change that, I know, but I still feel she played a part in his destiny and it wasnt always good. If only.......
the truth is he couldn't get ANY writing done when he was with her; he was blocked for 5 years. Had to get away to LA and Bermuda to get any songs out.
I remember where I was when I got the news that John had been killed my best friend Danny called me at work and told me in the early 60s we pretended we were the beatles innocence lost John is with us still in our hearts and souls lol!!!❤
I forgot that Paul McCartney had such short hair ever as in that first interview here. It’s nice that Yoko Ono in more recent times has acknowledged Cynthia Lennon, perhaps after Cynthia left us, mentioning how Cynthia was respected by the Beatles, was a good artist, was from Hoylake, influenced the Beatles. I remember always really liking those giant sunglasses Yoko is wearing in this interview. I also remember reading that before Linda Eastman met Paul that John was her favourite Beatle and before Yoko met John that Paul was her favourite Beatle. Paul’s really so funny and cool. I wasn’t really a Paul fan as a kid but I think he’s been misunderstood despite all the mountains of money.
Oh yeah....look at THAT face and those eyes. And that hair! I don't see a single "Faul" McCartney comment on this video....you know why? BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS THAT'S PAUL....THAT'S WHY!
I was looking for the McCartney interview from the early 90's in which Paul said that Lennon was a perfect swine and that he didn't contribute much to the writing but insisted on equal credit for it.
It still bothers me that she considered herself his partner . Not in marriage but musically . Maybe if she had 1 or 2 songs people could stand to listen to it would be different . But there are a lot of dogs that probably need therapy because of that sh#t she recorded ! :)
I have all of her material. Yes, there are those that could be used to clear a parking lot of vagrants (and actually have been, so I am told), but she has plenty of songs that are quite good.
hungfao Can't name any "quite good" songs from Yoko Ono, eh? Trying to distract me with a juvenile ploy? Well it won't work, and I've called your bluff. You can't name any because there aren't any.
Blues fan I am always amused when someone, like yourself, uses an over-reaching 'juvenile ploy' by trying to present yourself as a spokesperson for some nebulous collected group of persons when, in fact, at no time do you represent anyone other than yourself. I know. Reality sucks. You are alone and, perhaps, delusional. The next question is why on Earth would I deign to provide examples of her music to someone who already has their churlish gun cocked to disparage any example I put forward? Music is nearly always subjective. Thus, if I suggest that 'Mrs. Lennon', 'Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him', 'Death of Samantha' or 'Walking On Thin Ice' are all worthy candidates, there is necessarily no flaw in your opinion that the song doesn't rise to your level of acceptability. I will qualify that even though I find a number of songs to be quite good, she probably shouldn't sing them.
Does anybody have the rest of this interview? I want to hear the rest of what Paul is saying at the end. 'I was just down the road when it happened...'
@hiphopsucks96 The atmosphere in the studio was poisoned ever since thr Beatles came back from India in 1968, and John teamed up with Yoko. This means: Paul waited two years until he threw in the towel. Understandably IMO.
Linda preferred John before meeting Paul and Yoko went to Paul first before settling on getting John. Just one of those peculiar things when it comes to John&Paul.
@miss212AUT while that may have been true...people seem to forget the whole thing about paul's solo album. I think if paul hadn't left out of discomfort and hopelessness (he was affected the most by the breakup) the band would have only temporarily split. but I guess paul sorta alienated himself when he refused to move his first solo album's release date, when let it be was supposed to be released around the same time. and what about yoko refusing to let her late husband's killer out of prison?
Someone said here that Yoko haters are not true Beatles Fans. I disagree., Yoko was not a member of the Beatles. True Beatles fans love The Beatles. Not their wives. Specialy one that contributed so much to their split. I don't hate her. But she really kept on saying to John he should go solo. She didn't help him to keep on going with them. So, how como true Beatles fans would accept that? She was not even a fan! And we see here she saying Paul was John's partner before she became John's parthner. It sounded so funny! How como John could think she was a better composer than Paul? She is a plastci artist. Not a musician. Paul is one of the finest musician in the world. I wonder why John really believed she could substitute Paul as a musical partner. So, real true fans of The Beatles are exactly those who will never applaude those who wanted to separeted them. Sure hating is not necessary, sure. But appreciating...no! Sorry for any mispelling. I am not American. My first language is Portuguese.
Yoko is being strange here...like idk, possessive? Jealous? It's weird. Her relationship with John isn't the same as his relationship with Paul so idk what she's getting at here.
Yoko is well aware that Paul was John's actual "first wife". The one person he loved all his life and that she could never quite replace. She was there, she knows better than any of us what happened between them. That's what the jealousy is about.
notmeggiemoo - I think it was! Yoke - O - Oh no was a ball and chain around his neck, imo. For whatever reason, he was obsessed with her, in a Svengali-like sense. People disagree with me, but in John's solo years, I think he was most his old self (jovial and joking) when he was in the "lost weekend" period (apart from drunken episodes.. I think Walls & Bridges is a good album overall. Lennon always seemed reserved, if not stifled, in any interviews when he was with Yoke-O.
@hiphopsucks96 John should've left ! Only, he didn't dare to leave the castle (his own words). Instead he downgraded the other Beatles and especially Paul to mere sidemen. Beatles engineer Geoff Emmerick told how poisoned the atmosphere in the studio was, and how John didn't talk to Paul but enjoyed causing him miscomforture. John didn't dare to leave, but cowardly drove everyone else away.
John took the deaths of those around him very personal as if the Universe was targeting to hurt him specifically and he internalized the grief. It is what made him cynical and slightly unbalanced.
She wasn't talking musically. Paul was John's best friend at the time. Then Yoko came along and became John's best friend. Happens all the time, to almost everyone. That's all she meant.
John specifically said that he wanted his musical partner and his romantic partner to be the same person. John and Paul were much more than best friends. That's what came out in their work. I'm not saying they were a couple, they were something else that most of us can't understand. And that's why it's so fascinating.
She no doubt ingratiated herself to Lennon and his money, but we must remember, it was John who asked to climb the ladder and hammer the imaginary nail. I couldn't agree more regarding your assessment. She even manipulated her own child's birthday.
@yesiamize true, but everyone hated yoko. even george martin. and by the last few years (ie abbey road, let it be) all four had been working on solo work. the fact that yoko was teaming up with john at the time may have contributed to the tension between the bandmates, but wasn't the whole reason they split up. saying it was yoko's fault entirely is like saying brian epstein's death is to blame entirely. all of these r contributing factors, but not one single point is to blame for their breakup.
Haha lol Yoko thinking John was somewhat proud of his songwriting with Paul... Did he think his career with Yoko was better ;) yeah John and Yoko the master partnership...
René Moncayo Linda was never presented as the equal of John Lennon, she never had her own solo songs marring Paul's albums. Yoko sees herself equal to Paul as John's musical partner, and equal musically to John! She put out pathetically amateurish songs of her own! Where are Linda's solo songs? It's not at all the same.
Char west, I agree.Yoko did not "marry" John in the true sense of the word. She took on the role of replacing Paul. She inserted herself into his life and was glued to his side so she could witness whatever he told her. It was evident that John needed a strong woman in his life and boy, did he get one.....or maybe a security blanket. It was very irritating that she would speak for John and interrupting him. Even to the point of instead of breaking up, she gave Mae Pang to him so she would have updates from her to keep up with his vulnerabilities. Who does that? Kick out your husband and then arrange a replacement for herself? I found it all very seedy. I felt sorry for John. They enabled each other and she had the upper hand with a leash in it.
John Lennon lived his life as he chose....you are free to dislike his wife and to publicly say so....but to accuse her of murder.....shows your class or lack of it....
John was very much a bigger brother to Paul with a very common relationship that can happen between brothers. Paul's misery and freedom is that John died.
John Lennon and Paul McCartney -- brothers from different mothers -- and the best song-writing combo the world could have ever wanted.
Simon and Garfunkel? One singer and one writer, made perfection.

Okay, I'm paraphrasing here, but Yoko says, Paul was John's partner... before I became John's partner... and slowly tore apart the greatest songwriting partnership in the recorded history of man. (1:29)
out of which bloomed some of the best solo albums of all times
Rory Preston SOLO -- she was no musical partner to him. When he went back toher after their 2yr breakup, he was blocked musically for 5 years. She didn't care a bit, left him every day all day to "work" on his finances, increase money coming in. Only when he could get away from her again (Bermuda with Sean for an extended trip) could he write.
char west - yeah I know, but maybe someone needed to split up the beatles if they weren't going to let George have any songs - All things must pass would still be just a pile of rejects, plastic ono band and imagine both had a fair amount of Yoko's input and turned out fine in my opinion, John stopped in 1975 to be a father to Sean so what if he stopped writing, it's what he wanted. I see all these people bang on about Yoko and find it funny that they fail to realise john wouldn't have written a fart for you lot - he was happy.....unless you're about to suggest he had a gun to his head the entire relationship
Rory Preston true, George had some good music, but he could still have put them out on his own, as side projects. Just like John was making movies in his down time. The guys were starting to explore single projects as well as Beatle ones. No-one had to break them up for them to also do their own things, now that they had decided they weren't going to tour for the time being.
I think the real reason they broke up was John, after years of Yoko belittling the Beatles and trivializing them, finally became embarrassed in her eyes to continue his association with them. Those meaningful LOOKS she would give John at Twickenham -- in between sitting silent and morose, either hanging onto John or screaming at him. The disrespect she showed The Beatles, sitting on amps, eating their biscuits, pretending she couldn't walk to lie on a bed while they rehearsed, vocalizing while Paul was trying to write. George quit because of it.
On her part, I think Yoko was insecure and very jealous of John's relationship with Paul. She once even said that if Paul were a woman she would be VERY jealous of him because she could FEEL the vibrations between them. She was keen to break that up, and succeeded. Doesn't make it for the best though.
Also, Yoko was an avant-garde conceptual artist, not a musician. Why did she assume she could be his "musical partner" at all? She certainly wasn't the musical partner to John that Paul was. A best she was just a muse to him, not a help in the actual composing. Lots of artists (Titian, Picasso, etc.) have muses, but we don't credit them as equals to the actual artist. Most of the time we don't even remember their names. Patti Boyd was a muse for both George Harrison and Eric Clapton -- still doesn't make her their partners in the songs they wrote. Doesn't make her a musician.
When John was a "househusband" for FIVE YEARS and didn't pick up a guitar once Yoko didn't care. What kind of "musical partner" is that? All she cared about during that time was his money, and she left him every day to pursue increasing it. Nothing to do with music.
char west I'm not trying to claim Yoko Ono is a great artist I think we can all agree on that but if John was happy then that should be good enough for any fan. When I listen to the songs he wrote about her, Don't let me down, oh Yoko, I can really feel the truth in those songs, its a beautiful thing
paul always had a problem discussing feelings, especially his `love/hate `relationship with john...notice how he starts fidgeting with his ear when discussing yoko`s chat about john`s love for paul....they were like brothers.
Has anyone realized that everytime Paul is asked a question about John or even talks about him, he starts doing something with his mouth. He twists bis tongue, bites his lips or something like that... Crazy🙈🤔
F. St. He gets nervous. He doesn’t like showing his emotions.
I know John wanted more of a relationship with Paul than he was ready to give. I thinks that is what makes Paul nervous when he talks about John.
@@gretchennelson9965 if so--strange for a song writer, as most lyrics are about emotions.
@@MrDaiseymay He has said many times that he has a much easier time dealing with complex emotions in songs than he does talking about them.
Paul in his 40s looks younger than he did in his 30s.
Maybe it's because his 30s were quite stressful, with the band break up and the fall out. And having a young family. That will age you more than anything😁
@@katethomas5712 I mean so does cigarettes and drinking

Paul looks like he's 17 years old !!
Grazie ❤ le interviste a Paul mi interessano
Yoko Oh-NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get Back!!!
A good songwriter?! Yeah, and Einstein was kinda smart. Paul was John's writing partner and changed pop music. Yoko was a home-wrecker who also helped break up The Beatles.
One of the interesting things about UA-cam is how you can watch people like Paul discuss the same subjects at different stages of their life. At 5:07 he gives us, just 4 years after Lennon's death, a sober, realistic account of the final state of their relationship.
On the right of this page he's on Parkinson years later saying they'd made it all up and were "really great friends".
That's not a criticism of Paul, merely an observation of what we all tell ourselves to "make it all right.."
Wow Paul looks great!!!
This is decades ago. Stop speaking in present tense.
but still looks good, he is gorgeus as hell
He was the first person to use botox and the dead sperm cells from a cheetah to achieve permanent life.
Tom thx no he wasn’t, stfu.
Estela Zalazar He WAS gorgeous. Not any more.
I find a sense of narcissism coming from Yoko when she says that first John picked Paul then her as a partner. It seems as if she is conflating the meaning of a musical partner to a relationship partner. As John once said “She couldn’t Rock & Roll with me and I couldn’t avant-garde with her…”
Mimi John that's hilarious so true
John used to say”avant- garde was French for bullshit” that’s my Johnny!❤️❤️❤️❤️
i love how paul starts to dig in his ear. when you're that awesome, it doesnt even matter
Paul is 42 years old here. Hasn't changed much since he was 22. And of course he's 80 in 2 years.
LOL, Linda's favourite beatle was John
True, before she met him she was a John fan. But after she met him she thought, ew. He was not for her at all. But Paul interested her ...
@@charwest9449 Oh wow!
She was out to "bag her a Beatle." Groupie.
For some reason he kinda looks like his younger self here, not the 60's, but the time when he was in the Quarrymen.
Thank God you did not say anything about the absurd “Paul is Faul” crapola. 😅 It’s good to know that there are still some sane people on earth that do not believe in that nonsense🙌
He looks so immature. It's like, he's aging backwards.
Cute CUTE CUUUUTEEE HE IS SOO CUTE
Paul looks incredibly young. He's 40-ish here, and could pass for late 20s.
Oh yeah, and he's written some brilliant songs, too.
Macca looks about 7 in this video.
Stop calling him Macca. Nobody ever called him Macca until the Millennials why do you say that? His name is Paul. Everybody called him Paul. What if I started calling John Lenna or George Haha. Or I call Ringo Ringydingy? Kind of sounds stupid huh?
Abcde john calls him that in the anthology
Wrong. Folks in Liverpool were calling him Macca a long time ago!
@@hyzercreek Lenny and Hazza, it's what they all called each other in Liverpool prefame.
@@hyzercreek Good grief,calm down! John did indeed call Paul Macca, I’ve heard him say it on a recording.
After binge watching about 6 Mccartney vids in a row, I'm starting to put a hard "g" at the end of all the "NG" words. It's Foony Thing-a
He has the cutest accent. :)
Lennon was a huge loss to the world, he was far from perfect and would be embarrassed about the way he has been built into a messiah figure by some, he was human and all of us are floored. Pauli’s a real genius in my opinion, in terms of overall musicianship he goes beyond Lennon on quite a few fronts, towards the end, Lennon was churning out mediocre material, there are some gems, but he never burnt as bright as when he was at his creative best in The Beatles in my humble opinion.
I think he was just tired and worn out by that point. Paul still had a lot of drive even after the Beatles, but even his material got boring very fast.
I don't think that (although debatable in of itself) really matters. John Lennon was the driving force behind The Beatles during their formative years. John was the one who later introduced wild Surrealism, and unusual concepts during their ground breaking 1966-1968 Psychedelic music period as well. The Rubber Soul album is highlighted by things like: Norweigan Wood, Girl, Nowhere Man, and In My Life - songs that still sounds breathtakingly "original", and fresh 60 years later. Lennon wrote the band's World Anthem "All You Need Is Love" at the height of their 1967 artistic peak. Nobody else could have ever written a song like that. Lennon was a once in a century figure in so many ways (just look at his wacky cartoon art, and surrealistic book writings). He was the band's true genuis, and all of Popular Music itself and Rock-n-Roll lost its whole intellectual and creative edge after Lennon was murdered. Today's music is just unimaginative, boring "looped" garbage over largely lifeless digital backings -- and very annoying "polticial correctness" (submissiveness). If John Lennon were still here today there would be a whole different energy, and a different creativity going on. Just imagine what Lennon would have to say about the state of The World today such as: Forced-Mandated Vaccines, Covid Lockdowns, Big Tech Censorship, Thought - Police, Stolen Elections, Cutting off domestic Energy Production, Critical Race Theory, Fake News Media, and all the other chaos and mass dsyfunction going on in The World today. John Lennon was the kind of "difference maker" who would not let this World Government Tyranny go unchallenged without a fight. Paul McCartney was just an Entertainer (a good one). There's nothing wrong with that. But John Lennon was so much more than that. Lennon was a man that shaped entire public thought, and used his landmark Music to cut through all the B.S. and through the oppressive Political and Cultural Establishment. If there is one message and one take away from John Lennon it is: Think For Yourself, and Always Challenge Authority. John Lennon was the "difference maker" that made The Beatles beyond just a great band and .. true Legends.
@@FreeSociety1 I read so many people saying the music of today is unimaginative but it’s just not true. Sure, if you just listen to mainstream radio!! It’s out there, but you have to know where to look. There are lots of creative and truly brilliant musicians out there, if anything the talents only developed further. There are people on UA-cam playing guitar in a way that could never have been imagined in the 60s
@@camillajonsson6819 It was always McCartney who was the one that has been treated like Royalty, and the one adored and fawned over. Lennon was always treated LOUSY by the Press, and also by many fans as well (partly because of the anti-Yoko backlash). And of course the U.S. Government tried to get Lennon permanently Deported out of the Country on his butt in the 1970s, and then the CIA finally assassinated him (using a patsy) in 1980. So lets stop all this "messiah" talk here. Lennon was always treated as "controversial", and never got the mainstream musical recognition that he deserved. All the biographies about Lennon just focus on his personal life trauma, and say very little at all about his imaginative musical mind, originality (on many levels), and his musical creativity, or about his Leadership role at critical points in The Beatles development, or about his great guitar riffs and guitar styling (guitar chord choices/changes, right-hand syncopation, lead solo work, etc.). All the Beatles were essential to the band. But I lived through those lives , and John Lennon was a one-in-century type of IMPACT figure (on multiple levels too). The CIA would have never bothered with him at all, if he was not.
John was well aware of that. He talked about not liking his voice, disliked many of his own songs and lyrics. Paul need help by a band (wings or co writer to make a great album too. my humble opinion.
Paul and John loved and respected each other like all brothers they had envy anger but in the end if one was in trouble the other would do what ever they could to help his brother
honestly, how did someone actually want to kill john over yoko????
Sardine John had fought for years to get his Green Card. Eventually he won and had the Green Card. The USA can never be seen to lose so, the CIA steps in with a brainwashed cunt call Chapman and assassinates John.
Stewart Nicol as BILLY CONNOLLY you are an absolute fucking idiot
If I were going to invent a conspiracy theory, it would be that Yoko paid someone to shoot John because he was planning to get together to work with Paul in January (which he was).
@@loosilu i think yoko is/was a pretty wicked and manipulative woman but she's no courtney love
and paul brought yoko back together with john after they had broken up quite some time ago, and why wouldn't she want them to work together again?

Teddy boy Paul coming thruuuu again
I have to go now; Yoko Oh No is here at 1:22.
I love how Yoko is getting ready to go skiing
Haha....in that clip from 1984 he was 42 and looked like he was in his 20’s.
He looked like he was in grade school,actually.😎
Love seeing these old interviews here on YT.. Nice glasses Yoko..didn't realise you took up welding in the 80's :)
I love his hair like that! He should cut it like that again he can always pull it off so well!
RIP John Lennon🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹1111. Published on the 27th.....7/27
We still have to remember, she made John very, very happy. That's really important. : )
Heroin and other drugs make him very very very happy!!
HE always looked completely miserable with her. The only times I have seen John look TRULY happy is when he was singing with Paul.
Paul looks so young in this vid, I thought because of the thumbnail it was an interview from the early 60's only in a colored version!
Paul is the third man I ever loved. First one was my father and the second one was Jesus Christ.
It's frustrating when they play music in the background as Paul's talking because I get so wrapped up in the music that I have to go back and focus all my energy on what he's saying.
Paul is so real. Has a great sense of self deprecating humour. Glad to know his last call w/John was about family, normal things in their life. All four are (were) really so normal to have had all that happened to them. flakbac still love you too, even though you are a major A**.
I don't know how Yoko can compare herself to Paul, as all she did was ruin John's songs with her strange screaming.
Because she's not talking as a "creative partner". That's what people miss. She's hinting at how she knows that Paul was John's actual first wife. The one person he loved all his life and that she could never quite replace.
@@defaultc00kies63 She definitely means both creative and romantic partner. John specifically said so. But yes, I think we all know who the first wife was. The one who Apple staff referred to as "John's princess."
@@loosilu Also considering how many times both Paul and John called their relationship”like a marriage” and others did too.
@@defaultc00kies63 Exactly.
@@loosilu They were bumming each other?
Is it me or after John's death, Yoko started to take care of her appearance so much more than she had done while John was around...?!
Then she really started to spend his money big time. She had an apartment just for her fur coats. Like Imelda Marcos had shoes, Yoko had fur coats.
Paul always seemed honest about things. I mean yeah he sued the other beatles in 69/70 but at the end of the day mccartney wrote the bulk of the songs with lennon and played lots of different instruments on beatles albums. The guy worked hard for that beatles money and fame.
Paulie looks 17 years old here. He was over 40.
Do you really think that John, with his amazing insight, would not have come up with amazing songs on his own??? Seriously??? I cannot give her any credit, sry. John is John. He would have created on his own and maybe created more if he hadn't taken his 4 yrs off to be a mom. I would love to know what would have become of John without her and where he would be today. Can't change that, I know, but I still feel she played a part in his destiny and it wasnt always good. If only.......
the truth is he couldn't get ANY writing done when he was with her; he was blocked for 5 years. Had to get away to LA and Bermuda to get any songs out.
I remember where I was when I got the news that John had been killed my best friend Danny called me at work and told me in the early 60s we pretended we were the beatles innocence lost John is with us still in our hearts and souls lol!!!❤
I forgot that Paul McCartney had such short hair ever as in that first interview here. It’s nice that Yoko Ono in more recent times has acknowledged Cynthia Lennon, perhaps after Cynthia left us, mentioning how Cynthia was respected by the Beatles, was a good artist, was from Hoylake, influenced the Beatles. I remember always really liking those giant sunglasses Yoko is wearing in this interview. I also remember reading that before Linda Eastman met Paul that John was her favourite Beatle and before Yoko met John that Paul was her favourite Beatle. Paul’s really so funny and cool. I wasn’t really a Paul fan as a kid but I think he’s been misunderstood despite all the mountains of money.
Wow that interview lasted from December '83 to January '84! They must've been exhausted.
And Paul's hair got shorter and shorter! Amazing 😁
whatever the relationship was with Yoko, John is dead. No one is interested in her except as John Lennon's widow. I'm sure she is irritated by that.
Bellissimo Paul ❤
Wow this guy has a lot of memories I wonder which ones he really remembers
"'never again,' said ringo!"
You've made a great point Stephen, but no one said no to John. What John wanted, he got.
Oh yeah....look at THAT face and those eyes. And that hair! I don't see a single "Faul" McCartney comment on this video....you know why? BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS THAT'S PAUL....THAT'S WHY!
EXACTLY
see Julian's interview on here when talking about his dad and stepmother..
I was looking for the McCartney interview from the early 90's in which Paul said that Lennon was a perfect swine and that he didn't contribute much to the writing but insisted on equal credit for it.
This interview does not exist and even if it did it would’t be true
My windows are smaller than your glasses, Yoko!
He looks so young....in 1983 I thought he was an old man...lol.
Before I became John's partner. AHHHHHHHH. I don't like raggin on who John loves but with comments like that I cant help but say "what the FU*%"!!!
yoko can actually see through walls with those glasses
It would be better if Yoko was in a big white bag and was screaming throughout the whole thing.
It still bothers me that she considered herself his partner . Not in marriage but musically . Maybe if she had 1 or 2 songs people could stand to listen to it would be different . But there are a lot of dogs that probably need therapy because of that sh#t she recorded ! :)
I have all of her material. Yes, there are those that could be used to clear a parking lot of vagrants (and actually have been, so I am told), but she has plenty of songs that are quite good.
We'd love you to name a couple.
Blues fan Who's 'we'?
hungfao Can't name any "quite good" songs from Yoko Ono, eh? Trying to distract me with a juvenile ploy? Well it won't work, and I've called your bluff. You can't name any because there aren't any.
Blues fan I am always amused when someone, like yourself, uses an over-reaching 'juvenile ploy' by trying to present yourself as a spokesperson for some nebulous collected group of persons when, in fact, at no time do you represent anyone other than yourself. I know. Reality sucks. You are alone and, perhaps, delusional.
The next question is why on Earth would I deign to provide examples of her music to someone who already has their churlish gun cocked to disparage any example I put forward? Music is nearly always subjective. Thus, if I suggest that 'Mrs. Lennon', 'Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him', 'Death of Samantha' or 'Walking On Thin Ice' are all worthy candidates, there is necessarily no flaw in your opinion that the song doesn't rise to your level of acceptability.
I will qualify that even though I find a number of songs to be quite good, she probably shouldn't sing them.
Sir Paul said, "If John wasn't with Yoko, he probably would not have written 'Imagine." Enough said.
John Lennon was always imaginative. He wrote "All You Need Is Love" well before the time he was even dating Yoko.
Does anybody have the rest of this interview? I want to hear the rest of what Paul is saying at the end. 'I was just down the road when it happened...'
@hiphopsucks96 The atmosphere in the studio was poisoned ever since thr Beatles came back from India in 1968, and John teamed up with Yoko. This means: Paul waited two years until he threw in the towel. Understandably IMO.
Yoko has a HUGE ego
Her son is an idiot.
So do Paul and John, who the fuck cares? Yoko can do whatever the fuck she wants
yep---BUT WHY ? OVER WHAT ? EVERYTHING SHE EVER DID , WAS SHITE, AND EVERYONE KNEW IT, EXCEPT JOHN AND HER.
Linda preferred John before meeting Paul and Yoko went to Paul first before settling on getting John. Just one of those peculiar things when it comes to John&Paul.
Did paul start dying his hair or something cuz i see old 80s interviews he has gray hair but now his hairs kinda faded brown
@miss212AUT while that may have been true...people seem to forget the whole thing about paul's solo album. I think if paul hadn't left out of discomfort and hopelessness (he was affected the most by the breakup) the band would have only temporarily split. but I guess paul sorta alienated himself when he refused to move his first solo album's release date, when let it be was supposed to be released around the same time. and what about yoko refusing to let her late husband's killer out of prison?
@MrBeatlesDrummer Where (which video) does Paul say that?
Someone said here that Yoko haters are not true Beatles Fans. I disagree., Yoko was not a member of the Beatles. True Beatles fans love The Beatles. Not their wives. Specialy one that contributed so much to their split. I don't hate her. But she really kept on saying to John he should go solo. She didn't help him to keep on going with them. So, how como true Beatles fans would accept that? She was not even a fan! And we see here she saying Paul was John's partner before she became John's parthner. It sounded so funny! How como John could think she was a better composer than Paul? She is a plastci artist. Not a musician. Paul is one of the finest musician in the world. I wonder why John really believed she could substitute Paul as a musical partner. So, real true fans of The Beatles are exactly those who will never applaude those who wanted to separeted them. Sure hating is not necessary, sure. But appreciating...no! Sorry for any mispelling. I am not American. My first language is Portuguese.
Yoko looks good here. I actually never thought she looked ugly anywhere.
Virginia Abreu de Paula I’m going to assume English isn’t your first language, as your grammar and spelling are atrocious.
@@bbednorz319 Uh, did you even bother to read the part where she said she was Portuguese? Guess not.
Yoko is being strange here...like idk, possessive? Jealous? It's weird. Her relationship with John isn't the same as his relationship with Paul so idk what she's getting at here.
Yoko is well aware that Paul was John's actual "first wife". The one person he loved all his life and that she could never quite replace. She was there, she knows better than any of us what happened between them. That's what the jealousy is about.
I hate Yoko Ono, that is all
+Caitlin Thomas Ditto
She is a waste of skin
Yoko Ono, made John Lennon happy. And certainly if he was unhappy his artistic process would've been affected.
Caitlin Thomas well good for you
notmeggiemoo - I think it was! Yoke - O - Oh no was a ball and chain around his neck, imo. For whatever reason, he was obsessed with her, in a Svengali-like sense. People disagree with me, but in John's solo years, I think he was most his old self (jovial and joking) when he was in the "lost weekend" period (apart from drunken episodes.. I think Walls & Bridges is a good album overall. Lennon always seemed reserved, if not stifled, in any interviews when he was with Yoke-O.
what is the title of the song in the last minute?
@hiphopsucks96 John should've left ! Only, he didn't dare to leave the castle (his own words). Instead he downgraded the other Beatles and especially Paul to mere sidemen. Beatles engineer Geoff Emmerick told how poisoned the atmosphere in the studio was, and how John didn't talk to Paul but enjoyed causing him miscomforture. John didn't dare to leave, but cowardly drove everyone else away.
6:31- That's awesome! I
I'll never wish that Paul would've died instead, but it would be interesting to know what John would've said about Paul had he kicked it sooner.
Wowwww YESSSS that'd be so cool
John took the deaths of those around him very personal as if the Universe was targeting to hurt him specifically and he internalized the grief. It is what made him cynical and slightly unbalanced.
I have no idea what yoko said. As soon as I saw her I fast forward.
I think Yoko put a spell on John!!
She put a spell on the Beatles.
She put a spell on Apple Records too
Bullshit
A hex
She wasn't talking musically. Paul was John's best friend at the time. Then Yoko came along and became John's best friend. Happens all the time, to almost everyone. That's all she meant.
John specifically said that he wanted his musical partner and his romantic partner to be the same person. John and Paul were much more than best friends. That's what came out in their work. I'm not saying they were a couple, they were something else that most of us can't understand. And that's why it's so fascinating.
@@loosilu Amen
@@loosiluyes I believe it’s true
She no doubt ingratiated herself to Lennon and his money, but we must remember, it was John who asked to climb the ladder and hammer the imaginary nail. I couldn't agree more regarding your assessment. She even manipulated her own child's birthday.
@yesiamize true, but everyone hated yoko. even george martin. and by the last few years (ie abbey road, let it be) all four had been working on solo work. the fact that yoko was teaming up with john at the time may have contributed to the tension between the bandmates, but wasn't the whole reason they split up. saying it was yoko's fault entirely is like saying brian epstein's death is to blame entirely. all of these r contributing factors, but not one single point is to blame for their breakup.

Where's this interview from?
The sound on this video sucks.
Better than nothing
YOKO....NOOOOO
WHAT YEAR?????
Haha lol Yoko thinking John was somewhat proud of his songwriting with Paul... Did he think his career with Yoko was better ;) yeah John and Yoko the master partnership...
who is yoko
You are a joker😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kyla McDonnell well and Paul and his american wife Linda
René Moncayo Linda was never presented as the equal of John Lennon, she never had her own solo songs marring Paul's albums. Yoko sees herself equal to Paul as John's musical partner, and equal musically to John! She put out pathetically amateurish songs of her own! Where are Linda's solo songs? It's not at all the same.
Char west, I agree.Yoko did not "marry" John in the true sense of the word. She took on the role of replacing Paul. She inserted herself into his life and was glued to his side so she could witness whatever he told her. It was evident that John needed a strong woman in his life and boy, did he get one.....or maybe a security blanket. It was very irritating that she would speak for John and interrupting him. Even to the point of instead of breaking up, she gave Mae Pang to him so she would have updates from her to keep up with his vulnerabilities. Who does that? Kick out your husband and then arrange a replacement for herself? I found it all very seedy. I felt sorry for John. They enabled each other and she had the upper hand with a leash in it.
John Lennon lived his life as he chose....you are free to dislike his wife and to publicly say so....but to accuse her of murder.....shows your class or lack of it....
John was very much a bigger brother to Paul with a very common relationship that can happen between brothers. Paul's misery and freedom is that John died.
