One of my favorite parts of the interview is when Paul adamantly stands up for what he is saying. When talking about Paul’s kids, Howard says, who cares about them? Without missing a beat, Paul says, I do, that’s who! Paul is a good man.
It was cool and weird to hear ozzys demeanor go from famous music star to just simply a fan when he met Paul when he said “you’re the reason I started music” he almost seemed star struck
@@karlmeredith5134 There's an SNL cold open of the Five Timers Club with Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. It's pretty funny in and of itself. But at the very end, McCartney comes on and it looks like he kind of wasn't expected because Baldwin kinda loses it. It was funny and yet another example of the effect Beatles have on people who are incredibly famous in their own right. Just wanted to share that; your comment made me think of that.
Paul is NOT bullshitting about being a man of the people. I personally witnessed him genuinely greet a young man of 18 from the Bronx in a surprise encounter that both shocked and moved me in a matter of seconds. Absolute GRACE .

That is the format of his show, and radio can have no dead air. But I was surpised how quiet Artie was, likely a memo from Howard before the show started.
Yep, I agree!! I do not listen to these two much at all, but isn't that part of their arsenal? I think everyone talking loudly at once seems like their attempt to confuse and catch the guest off guard. I heard the same style of questioning and suggested answers being thrown out there the last time I was tried to enjoy this program years ago. I felt embarrassed by the cheap shots (given in the form of questions) asked to obviously jab at Paul. So glad he didn't take the bait, and kept the interview rolling with great answers and positive energy! Great job Paul!!! ❤️
OMGosh, especially Robin needed to just plain hush!!! At least Howard was asking questions & mostly back & forth. Robin, not so much. Dang! So annoying! 😬 It was really hard to hear him at all through that interrupting & talking over him very loudly & without stopping. We're watching this to hear him, not them! Wow. (Had to vent a bit, lol.)
@Dench2020 Ironically, The Beatles were inspired and idolized by Elvis Presley,however,Presley said they were a bad influence on the youth. Scary to think since a youth shot and killed Lennon.
It might sound weird for a guy to say this, but Ozzy was so cute when he told Paul how he'd always wanted to meet him, etc. I never actually _liked_ Ozzy Osbourne before, but that awkwardness made me like him.
And I just re-watched that part of the segment. While Paul is discussing Ozzy's bassist or something (no idea what the hell they're talking about here), you can tell Ozzy is not hearing a word he's saying because he's awestruck. And before that, he just walks up and hugs him. Just a really fascinating--and moving--moment of Beatles memorabilia.
I love how Paul was politely shutting down Howard’s typical rude questions, 10:19 is an example. Paul is pure class, something Howard doesn’t have, but everyone knows that LOL
Yes and Robin's ever annoying babbling and cackling. I used to be able to tolerate her way back in the day but with every passing decade she just makes my ass itch!
@@BrianBrayMedia not in this inerview because paul two seconds later admitted he felt guilty about having sex with someone new and he would have admitted that without howards prodding "rude" questions
@@solodolotrevino Paul was not a habitual LSD user. He tried it once back in the 60s. Mary Jane* was his drug of choice back in the mellow 70s. Ozzy, on the other hand, was an animal. But unfortunately, his predilection for bats is an urban legend. * marijuana.
That bit when Paul mentions the owl and saying how he saw it as permission from Linda to be with Heather, and Howard says it sounded like it was telling Paul "no". 😂😂 HOWARD WAS RIGHT 😂😂😂
Heather was the perfect example of toxic femininity before it became a thing. I suppose we must thank Heather for setting the standard for such other wonderful women like Brie Larson , Amber Heard , Jada Pinkett Smith , Rachel Zegler and Meghan Markle to name just a few
I hate to be a doubting Thomas, but I still think the old adage "where there's smoke there's fire"- is what's up about Faul (George's name for Paul).. and yes, Paul is dead. An amazing lyricist and musician no matter who he has become.😉
Paul went on Howard Stern for us right after 9/11. He dedicated the song to the fireman, for us. He spread peace and love and some of himself for us and the world after that horrible day. Saying thank you seems so inadequate but is about all I can say I am so grateful and thankful for him. Let's keep it going to this day, I will.
everyone saying "paul was so uncomfortable, howard was pushy blablabla" THAT IS THE HOWARD STERN SHOW. paul knew what he was getting into. this is why people enjoy the howard stern show. it is rough to watch, but its like a ride, you just kinda have to let it happen.
The two main things, and it may just be a howard stern thing, is that he was just talked over constantly and that there was no sensitivity when talking about moving on from linda.
Paul knows how to control an interview. The wild west that can be Howard Stern was actually a great venue to showcase his class and intellect. It's also true that Howard has tempered his approach with age. He's still funny and irreverent but he also defers and has legitimate respect for his guests.
Oops... I replied while signed into my music account. But, make no mistake, I am Mr. Arrogant... or Czar Arrogant - I'll answer to either. And thank you. I do find Stern's interviews more compelling without every one turning into a chaotic free for all.
Agreed 100% Now, if somebody could just put a muzzle on Robin! She was so irritating and unnecessarily intrusive, She really seemed to feel the need to be heard with her stupidity. I know she & and Howard are BFFs and all, but really... Enough! I was happy that Paul kept a leash of decency on the interview. Good one.
They say never meet your heroes but Paul would be an exception. He knew Ozzy was nervous and made him feel comfortable. Paul is only 6 years older but Ozzy looked like a kid.
You are correct. Paul knows how nervous people get when they meet him. He saw the nervousness in Ozzy and immediately started talking to break the tension. Paul is a really good guy.
Howard knows exactly what NOT to bring up with Paul and that was exactly what he knew he was going bring up. He really has no filter, and I thought he came off kinda disrespectful in this. Even though Paul agreed to come on knowing that Howard has no filter, you would think that Howard would respect the fact that Paul is doing the show and not be a dick by bringing up really really personal stuff like he did here.
Fairplay to sir Macca for jumping in the deep end, he knew exactly what he was getting into doing this interview and took it like a champ! Nice to hear different questions tbh
Not surprised. Howard and his loudmouth sidekick have no style or grace and think they can get away with asking anything, no matter how personal. Trash.
I gotta say I used to not like Howard, but he is hilarious in this one - he's so blunt in a way that gets reactions out of Paul I haven't seen in any other interviews, it's more real because it's so quick and messy

He got on my nerves a few times. Paul really opening up and Howard jumping to different questions without letting him finish just interested in the solatious stuff. And then when he was opening up about speaking to Linda and Howard belittling him laughing saying "not really haha" I thought that was abit out of order making Paul the butt of the joke for believing in nonsense. And just obsessed with wanting the sexual gossip. He doesn't realise what an opportunity he has with speaking to Paul and at times he completely ruining it in parts with disoresectful nonsense. Paul's a better man than me I'd have got triggered with a few things he says
@@mikewest6569 I always thought she was like a straight “man” and provided a nice balance to the show. It wouldn’t be the same without her. I guess we can agree to disagree.
I had forgotten how inappropriate Howard used to be lol. He’s asking Sir Paul McCartney about having sex with another woman for the first time after Linda died, and I’m here squirming in my chair. It’s simultaneously great and terrible
He actually took phone calls. Unbelievable. When is this? How do you make a guest comfortable? Paul, so positive, That's what it is about him. How does he do it? He always comes across so well, Paul. Positive Paul. Now, that is a true talent in and of itself, to live life and find "The Good" that comes out of an experience or a situation. What a valuable asset! That's what it is about him that resonates and we all find so attractive! We Love You, Always.
Charming people has always been his thing. Paul has always put up a nice facade to keep people from invading his privacy. He likes to control the image that people have of him. He can definitely be a huge dick and he's very conscious of the fact that he's a big deal. Though he's become a lot more mellow with age.
I have such an appreciation at how good an interviewer Stern is. I think his therapy made him even better. McCartney is a tough interview but Howard nails it.
I got a kick out of Paul’s sarcasm with things like “I didn’t have sex with anyone except Brian Epstein” which was priceless. Drew his lines and didn’t cross them. Good man. I did get one thing near the end when he said “The Beatles are all like my little brothers” and I truly couldn’t tell if he was being sarcastic again or not, after all he’s sort of become the Alpha Beatle. Anyway great great interview glad it’s here !
My mom is a casting director, she’s met 100s of very famous people including robin williams, Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan. She once saw Paul on a elevator in her building on Greenwich street in NYC. That’s the only time she couldn’t even talk. My mothers name is Rita so he sang lovely Rita for her.
It was more Robin unnecessarily butting in and adding pointless things to Howards questions, which is what she does a lot. Paul has been on this show multiple times since this first appearance. Robin is annoying in a couple of those too but not nearly as much as she was here. His later interviews are much more insightful and laid back than this one.
Not only was Paul in NYC for the Concert for New York, but he would also be making his final visit with George in the hospital around this time frame (probably a week or two after this). It was definitely a tough period.
Yeah. I usually don’t buy into the belief that Robin is annoying and needs to shut up, but I feel like that for this interview. I think she was too excited and wanted to make sure she contributed. She kept talking over people.
@@Pumpkinking64 I was just noticing that. She laughs it off when one of her darts doesn't hit its target (when Paul doesn't stop talking so she can). I agree, though, that she was too excited. Howard was too.
Pauly is my guy since Beatle days. He is a pro with interviewers and knows how to navigate through and draw the line. Can you even imagine how many interviews he has done in his lifetime? Not his first rodeo and he is in complete control. Love him! Love to see him drinking Poland Spring water. Last place I lived in Maine. Tastes like snow!
Love some Paul McCartney but it is amazing how someone like Howard Stern can make him so nervous. Can somebody tell me how many times he took a sip of water? LOL
there is noone on earth at this point that Paul mccartney takes a backseat too...he has been one of if the most most famous men on earth since age 21...he is 80....Noone has maintained that type of fame for that long. he is beyond a generational figure. at this point he is historical in terms of the greatest humans to ever walk to planet. obviously there have been greater contributions from inventors and scientists etc etc, but the sheer joy he has brought people for over a half century is tough to compute since noone has done it that long. as admired and universally loved as he is , upon his death his contributions will be pored over by the masses and his stock will only go up.
The audacity of Howard and Robin to interrupt and badger Paul fucking McCartney. Kudos on the bravery but I can't believe they can speak to him that way.
You don't get to that position by being starstruck and timid like an average nobody. There's a reason his show was so popular and stood the test of time. We want to hear these people asked the entertaining questions.
This is an uncomfortable interview. I mean, ironically Howard was correct that it was a bad idea to marry Heather, but he was so rude about it, and so pushy.
@Vita Woolfe99 You either imagine someone made a bot that comments with very specific observations about Howard Stern’s videos for reasons that are inexplicable, or your own comment is made by a bot designed to spread irony across the Internet .
There's obviously a level of respect there where he can ask these things. Paul knows the show is controversial and he would be asked controversial or uncomfortable questions, that's the nature of the show and what makes the show a success, Stern asks the questions we are all thinking but don't have the balls to ask.
Paul you are such a sweetheart. And yes you were all brothers you have also had tradegy in your life and yet you are always so kind and positive Thank you
Great post, from 20 years ago. Paul's artistry is seen in the man's character. His early love songs proved his devotion to true love! And Howard gave the man full respect.
Ozzy always has said he heard the Beatles and it changed his life, but this interview was the reason I started listening to Paul's music Beatles music and other interviews I did love wings as a child silly love songs, but Paul is cool as hell baby love him and I can tell Howard does too
Meanwhile? Meanwhile you're another inane UA-cam dipshit who thinks you've uncovered something. Oh shit, you mean sometimes people end up doing shit that they previously believed they would never do? This won't be a revelation once you turn 15...
Howard got divorced. Makes total sense to remarry to “find actual love” or whatever. I think Howard’s point was about getting remarried soon after losing your apparent soulmate of 30 years.
@@kevedwards yes when Paul came to sing with Bruce Springsteen, Bruce said : I’ve been waiting this for 40 years and all his musicians were happy to play with Paul. The same for Billy Joel. And Alice Cooper, joe Perry and Johnny Depp were open-mouth when they recorded with Paul, and Bon Jovi said « beatle Paul » when he saw Paul, he said he couldn’t say just Paul but or beatle Paul or your majesty.

I love the humbleness of Ozzy Osbourne when he met Paul McCartney... very cool. You could tell Paul felt awkward.
He's still unhappy bout Ozzy's dis tune to Paul's daddy
He actually took phone calls. Unbelievable. When is this? How do you make a guest comfortable? Paul, so positive, That's what it is about him. How does he do it? He always comes across so well, Paul. Positive Paul. Now, that is a true talent in and of itself, to live life and find "The Good" that comes out of an experience or a situation. What a valuable asset! That's what it is about him that resonates and we all find so attractive! We Love You, Always.
He’s my role model.
Charming people has always been his thing. Paul has always put up a nice facade to keep people from invading his privacy. He likes to control the image that people have of him. He can definitely be a huge dick and he's very conscious of the fact that he's a big deal. Though he's become a lot more mellow with age.
This was October 2001. Right after 9/11
@3:54
Howard : Why bring pot into Japan?
Paul: TELL me about it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have such an appreciation at how good an interviewer Stern is. I think his therapy made him even better. McCartney is a tough interview but Howard nails it.
Paul's been asked the same questions literally for decades, so it's nice to see Howard come in and shake things up.
Purchase went through a case of water
Paul just went through a case of water
why did Paul go to therapy?
@@gnessi4029 i think it had something to do with linda's death
I got a kick out of Paul’s sarcasm with things like “I didn’t have sex with anyone except Brian Epstein” which was priceless. Drew his lines and didn’t cross them. Good man. I did get one thing near the end when he said “The Beatles are all like my little brothers” and I truly couldn’t tell if he was being sarcastic again or not, after all he’s sort of become the Alpha Beatle. Anyway great great interview glad it’s here !
17:43 Paul gives MJ the finger
A well deserved finger.
My mom is a casting director, she’s met 100s of very famous people including robin williams, Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan. She once saw Paul on a elevator in her building on Greenwich street in NYC. That’s the only time she couldn’t even talk. My mothers name is Rita so he sang lovely Rita for her.
Paul and Ozzy in the same room chatting. Beautiful.
I truly admire how he and Linda made it a point to keep their kids from turning into snobby little rich kids❤❤
Run Paul Run!! Howard and Robin kept firing questions and not giving Paul a chance to answer!!
It was more Robin unnecessarily butting in and adding pointless things to Howards questions, which is what she does a lot. Paul has been on this show multiple times since this first appearance. Robin is annoying in a couple of those too but not nearly as much as she was here. His later interviews are much more insightful and laid back than this one.
So fucking frustrating
THATS WHY PEOPLE TOLD HIM NOT TO DO THE SHOW BUT ASSHOLE PAUL STILL DID IT.
lol, he did more shows with Howard after.
she gotta go
OZZY meeting McCartney on STERN'S SHOW. EPIC !!!👍
Not only was Paul in NYC for the Concert for New York, but he would also be making his final visit with George in the hospital around this time frame (probably a week or two after this). It was definitely a tough period.
In this particular interview I feel Paul was thrown off by Robin. Things she said, and two people talking at once.
Yeah. I usually don’t buy into the belief that Robin is annoying and needs to shut up, but I feel like that for this interview. I think she was too excited and wanted to make sure she contributed. She kept talking over people.
@@Pumpkinking64 I was just noticing that. She laughs it off when one of her darts doesn't hit its target (when Paul doesn't stop talking so she can). I agree, though, that she was too excited. Howard was too.
How can you not love him
Have to applaud Paul as famous as he is throwing himself to a shark like Howard.
agreed, wonder why he said yes - but he's always been a master promoter/marketer of his latest releases
He’s been back two more times on Howard.
Nothing compared to the chick she's talking about getting married to who then eventually filed for divorce in 2006 and took a lot of his money
Yeah - he’s too nice of a guy.
@@michaelfleming8490 3 actually I think
He got married too soon after Linda died. I’m glad he’s found peace with Nancy.
Who says? I would've met someone at the funeral. Lol
Too cool to see Ozzy and Paul meet
Yeah! Ozzy was all tongue-tied and awkward.
I actually get a little choked up watching that part.
I love how Paul handled question after question after question. Very classy.
Paul is a true gentleman.
The fact both he and Ozzy are still around another 20 years after this amazes me. If I got interviewed by Howard stern I’d blow my brains out
Legendary interview for the ages.
All I can say is that Paul must have one hell of a bladder! 🤪 Love you, Paul.
No! All the water he drank turned into perspiration and sweat!
Pauly is my guy since Beatle days. He is a pro with interviewers and knows how to navigate through and draw the line. Can you even imagine how many interviews he has done in his lifetime? Not his first rodeo and he is in complete control. Love him!
Love to see him drinking Poland Spring water. Last place I lived in Maine. Tastes like snow!
I love how it gets unhinged at times without getting very awkward. Great interviewers, and great man Paul is
Love some Paul McCartney but it is amazing how someone like Howard Stern can make him so nervous. Can somebody tell me how many times he took a sip of water? LOL
Lol he drank like 3 bottles
Good observation!
Yoko was always running a scam. Paul seems like a great guy, and very clever.
Yes...like calling one nail in the wall "art". She was real good at such "art".
The whole atmosphere changes whenever Paul’s in the room …even in wacky/racy places like the world of Howard Stern. I ❤️ Paul!
Amazing seeing Ozzy talk about meeting Paul McCartney “a dream come true.” Imagine being that legendary 🤯
Damn! Ozzy went full fanboy!!!🤯
power of Beatles
@@goku4114 Greatest ever
Ozzy said : »when I first met Paul it is like I saw God »
He could barely spe@k
there is noone on earth at this point that Paul mccartney takes a backseat too...he has been one of if the most most famous men on earth since age 21...he is 80....Noone has maintained that type of fame for that long. he is beyond a generational figure. at this point he is historical in terms of the greatest humans to ever walk to planet. obviously there have been greater contributions from inventors and scientists etc etc, but the sheer joy he has brought people for over a half century is tough to compute since noone has done it that long. as admired and universally loved as he is , upon his death his contributions will be pored over by the masses and his stock will only go up.
The audacity of Howard and Robin to interrupt and badger Paul fucking McCartney. Kudos on the bravery but I can't believe they can speak to him that way.
and to talk about moving on from linda so insensitively and casually
That’s the show
You don't get to that position by being starstruck and timid like an average nobody. There's a reason his show was so popular and stood the test of time. We want to hear these people asked the entertaining questions.
Ozzy fanboy’in out is a highlight lol
This is an uncomfortable interview.
I mean, ironically Howard was correct that it was a bad idea to marry Heather, but he was so rude about it, and so pushy.
@Vita Woolfe99
You either imagine someone made a bot that comments with very specific observations about Howard Stern’s videos for reasons that are inexplicable, or your own comment is made by a bot designed to spread irony across the Internet .
There's obviously a level of respect there where he can ask these things. Paul knows the show is controversial and he would be asked controversial or uncomfortable questions, that's the nature of the show and what makes the show a success, Stern asks the questions we are all thinking but don't have the balls to ask.
Paul you are such a sweetheart. And yes you were all brothers you have also had tradegy in your life and yet you are always so kind and positive Thank you
Great post, from 20 years ago. Paul's artistry is seen in the man's character. His early love songs proved his devotion to true love! And Howard gave the man full respect.
One of the greatest metal singer of all time…turned into a blushing fanboy 🤩
THANK YOU FOR THIS
Ozzy always has said he heard the Beatles and it changed his life, but this interview was the reason I started listening to Paul's music Beatles music and other interviews I did love wings as a child silly love songs, but Paul is cool as hell baby love him and I can tell Howard does too
The owl was saying No.
Howard's best interview ever!
Pure entertainment!
Sincerely the best interview of all time. Two of my heroes
Howard has come a long way with his interview skills.
he was playing a character back then
He pulled out his A-game for Paul McCartney.
'Interview skills' ???? He and that woman are like 2 loud, rude teenagers. No style, no grace.
,,The beatles are my little brothers"
Paul McCartney ☹💗
The greatest talent and class guy
Great interview. Paul❤
Love Paul McCartney ❤
I LOVE MCCARTNEY, IM 21 BUT HE'S THE GREATEST HUMAN OF ALL TIME. NO EGO JUST LOVE.
He's perfect Paul is the best!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Enjoyed this, thanks yall.....✌😎
Only Paul McCartney could make Ozzy starstruck. . And only Howard Stern could make Paul McCartney nervous
Could Robin just not shut up and let the Legend speak? 🤦♂️
Can't stand her.
Not just Robin, the other one too.
I was just noticing how much interrupting she does, how often she tries to grab the rudder of the conversation. 10:40
Robin has ALWAYS been annoying.
McCartney is a living grade A Legend. So is Ozzy on a narrower scale.
Great Interview Thanks Paul and Howard
Damn. Should've signed the prenup
Paul you are so awesome
I like how howie is asking Paul why remarry, meanwhile...........
Meanwhile? Meanwhile you're another inane UA-cam dipshit who thinks you've uncovered something.
Oh shit, you mean sometimes people end up doing shit that they previously believed they would never do? This won't be a revelation once you turn 15...
@@78bcat dude are you okay?
Turned out to be a good question. Paul lost $48 million to her when they split.
Howard got divorced. Makes total sense to remarry to “find actual love” or whatever. I think Howard’s point was about getting remarried soon after losing your apparent soulmate of 30 years.
@@78bcat Is this not Billy Shears?
Glad your back earthdog
Absolutely Amazing ❤️❤️😎
Cool to see Ozzy being a total fan boy.
He really did have stars in his eyes, didn't he?
Crazy that Ozzy didn’t meet Paul before. I’d think they would have met back in the 70’s or 80’s. 🤯
Thats because this isn't the real Paul Mccartney
Mad to see super stars turn into fans whenever they see a beetle.
"...would have met..."
Use auxiliary verb , "have" before the past participle("met") of the main verb, "to meet" and not the preposition , "of "
@@manofiske3318 lol thx
@@kevedwards yes when Paul came to sing with Bruce Springsteen, Bruce said : I’ve been waiting this for 40 years and all his musicians were happy to play with Paul. The same for Billy Joel. And Alice Cooper, joe Perry and Johnny Depp were open-mouth when they recorded with Paul, and Bon Jovi said « beatle Paul » when he saw Paul, he said he couldn’t say just Paul but or beatle Paul or your majesty.
Paul is a gem of a human being ❤
This was aired the day i was born. crazy!
