Paul McCartney is an exceptional artist and he’s very humble. Coming Up is one of my favourite songs ever.
At this time if I have it right Lennon was compiling demos for Double Fantasy eying a comeback. During Lennon’s sabbatical Paul recorded 5 studio albums(all top ten, majority number one) a wildly successful world tour, a number one live album and further consolidated his vast wealth and charity work. Many of the songs are great. Many of the thirty songs Lennon composed during that period are wonderful. It’s probably better they never worked together again but I often think it might have been amazing.
I think if John had lived longer they probably would have come back together in the 80’s ❤
@@ImDannyKosmo agreed!
@@ImDannyKosmo might have been great :)
This is still one of my favorite albums. He’s so weird and I love it!!
Never saw this before today! How wonderful. So rare to see him talking about McCartney II. Good questions from Tim as well.
Paul seems more natural when he's interviewed by people he knows and clearly respects - he drops his usual 'star' persona and tells it more as it really is
That’s how it is with most people… aren’t you more natural around people you know and are comfortable with?
He's Billy. He's not the original Paul, who died in late 1966.
I love this album because it is so bizarre - everything from synthpop-blues (On the way), to acid jazz (Special Friend), to trance (Frozen), to insane ear worms (Temporary Secretary), to a completely coincidental Brasilian Favela Club Hit (Check My Machine). It's an album that would never be released today.
Two gifted writers together.
What a great interview, when an artist is talking with an artist ...
Good Evening, Tom. Paul is so cool.
John Lennon was in a car in NYC on his was to (or from) the studio & hearing "Coming Up" on the radio for the first time.. and was trying to listen who it could be.. and exclaimed "F*CK A PIG, IT'S McCARTNEY!"
Coming Up came out in March 1980. John Lennon didn’t enter a studio until August 1980. John hearing this single in early 1980 prompted him to make a new record (that and his sailing trip to Bermuda)
@@MovieBurnerEntertainment well he was in a car anyway- the other passenger told the story
I believe the breakdown on the studio version of Coming Up with the saxophones was what set this song apart. John loved the “freaky vocals” on the studio version.
Still sounds fresh today. Great album and brilliant photography by Linda.
Paul McCartney could take a couple of spoons, an old piece of rope and a bicycle pump and still come up with something fab and musical.
And he’ll somehow get a proper melody out of two spoons and a rope 😂
Exactly!
❤
That was John’s quote, almost. “I’m an artist! Give me a tuba I’ll get you something out of it” - John Lennon
So amazing 40 years later McCartney |||
Agree!

43❤
No, still 40
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is the truth no matter what.
Waterfalls is a brilliant song and I like the album.
I remember watching this interview when it was first broadcast. Great stuff.
It is just so sad to know John died 7 months later. I was 6 years old at this time and remember all of it....

@@justiceforjamespaulmccartney jesus christ get a life and leave people alone!! they weren't even talking about that
@@teiaga1457 Get a brain.
@@justiceforjamespaulmccartney Oh Come OFF it, man ! Do you think the other Beatles really could accept and continue with an imposter ?? And wouldnt the other three have been tighter together, and wrote more together, excluding the fake Paul ? You think such a thing could really bé accepted and not talked about by ALL the other musicians and stars that knew Paul before "the fatal accident"?? I just don't sée how it can really bé true, man.
@@teiaga1457 Why don't you get a life? You are on this platform yourself. How come everyone that disagrees with you doesn't have a life? Is there not a chance that if you open your mind, you might learn something?
Great interview 👌 Thanks for sharing 🙏
Bahahaha make sure you watch until the end! Too funny. Can someone tell me who takes Paul away?
But you‘re right ‘Nobody Knows’ ‼Lots of us pretending that we know what’s going on, but nobody really knows, the unknown. Respect!!.
It’s so good to have this interview available to watch. And what’s more, for free!That being said, we sometimes have to sacrifice fidelity. It’s the price we sometimes have to pay. For anyone out there looking to boost volume and add some light compression, I strongly commend buying a little headphone amp/mixer. They aren’t too expensive, and you can get units with multiple channels. Mine is made by ART, nothing fancy. Sweetwater has some good options. I’m not affiliated, lol. But this little unit sounds amazing for this application! And it has 4 channels. Each of them has independent volume knobs. Accepts 1/8”and 1/4”. The input on mine is only 1/8” / aux. Perfect for a laptop or phone. You’ll be able to enjoy many of these old gems that have lost their audio quality. Light compression that’s inherent in the headphone amp also serves to smooth out those spiky waves. Of course with boosting the volume, you’re also gonna be boosting the signal-to-noise ratio. But fortune favors the bold. Cheers!
Very honest and authentic from Paul, still virtually unaffected by fame and fortune. The artist and driving force of the Beatles still going strong.

@@justiceforjamespaulmccartney It sure is. And people denying it doesn't change reality.
¡Ya lo creo que es excepcional!
Sir Paul!
He’d already had two careers by this time and he looks about 20.
Great interview.
Only 38 there, a musical genius
Actually, Billy is 86 this year!
2 legends talking
the ending lmfao
Good evening Tom 😂
Paul drops his guard somewhat ...
And Victor Spinetti
That is Victor Spinetti ?? Really ? 🤔 Blimey !
Telling Tim rice you don’t like musicals
He also called him Tom at the start, Tim pounced on him when he slated musicals, how's the golf doing
@@brmc6145 blooming terrible!!
@@TopblokeGolf I just checked your progress, keep soldiering on, it's not all about the golf, you can improve on that because your keen
I'm not sure Rice was a good choice of interviewer for this - he's so conventional, and lyric-minded, that it was inevitable he wasn't going to warm to all but a few of the songs, and that comes out in his somewhat condescending remarks at times. All the same, it was interesting to watch the two of them interact.
Hello Billy.
How embarrassing 🤣🤣🤣

@@justiceforjamespaulmccartney Riiiiiiiiight, an exact human duplicate clone that looked and sounded exactly like Paul McCartney and yet also played Bass guitar LEFT HANDED YET with the same prolific songwriting skills LMAO!!!!!!! you weren't even alive when this hoax was debunked and proven exactly that it was a hoax. It is only non musicians or musically challenged people that perpetuate this anyways . Its best that you go back to the flat earth groups, or 9/11 was setup, or that man never landed on the moon you tube groups. That is more your pay scale LOL

I guess he eventually blocks out info about the original Paul. Maybe they reprogrammed the new one.
🤣🤣🤣💩
Tim didn't like pauls chat about musicals, he pounced right on that
Paul’s expression any 6:42 is like, Tim you’re full of shite.
Paul called him Tom?
Whoop!
I like Nobody Knows.
He starts of by saying 'Good evening Tom?' Good start.
It's a ...........................JOKE!
The "good lyric" discussion implies "commercial lyric" and that should have been emphasized, versus "art lyric", that has a primary artistic purpose meant for the artist's self expression and not necessarily for generalized commercial purposes. Having said that, the same song can meet BOTH art and commercial criteria and often did with the Beatles' songs. But as a song writer myself there is the distinction between the two.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Back in the days when you could have a little cough and not scare people away... Oh , hang on, we don't worry about Covid anymore, do we! I forgot for a moment.
Besides that, Paul is great, isn't he ! I was always a big fan of John but I love Paul too. How can you NOT love him ?!!
People are just getting use to covid now.
If I was famous, I would hate being interviewed all the time. I'm sure most musicians, artists, actors, etc, don't overly intellectualise about their lyrics or this or that, and what message they're sending out, etc.
this has to have been recorded earlier in the year - 1980 - the year John was killed - as there’s no reference to that event or even to John.
This was in the May.
This is two days after the murder.
John died in December 1980.
Who was the bloke at the end there?? I doubt it's him, and I've only got a crappy old phone so I can't sée his face too well, but his voice...sounded quite a bit like posh Keef Richards of The Boney Rolls ! Can anyone confirm that for me, ....plis ?
After watching it a 2nd time, I CAN sée it's not him and it's only a few of his words that sound like they were uttered by Keith, just a bit.
Who's the guy who comes and gets Paul at end of interview (please excuse my ignorance 🤣)?
I asked the same question, still no idea. I DID think it was a certain person to begin with but then I realised I was wrong.
It's an Anglo - Italian actor called Victor Spinetti. He was in a couple of the Beatles films and used to be part of the "scene" in the sixties, becoming good friends of all four mop tops.
@@thewomble1509 thanks so much for clarifying! Have a blessed day!
@@crmay72 Many thanks. Take care my friend.
J*p is a brief way of saying Japanese. I remember a Japanese woman writing the word J*p as a shorthand of referring to Japanese.
"Sir Paul" (William) is *not* Paul McCartney.
The real James Paul McCartney (1942-1966) died in 1966.
This is the truth, no matter what.

McCartney songs are great and wonderful however, unlike John and George, who write deep profound songs Paul songs are a bit corny a bit upbeat and comical like Coming Up and yet he has been so successful. Good for him.
What an ignorant generalization. No need to take a swipe. McCartney can do it all.
@@Kathmak STFU- it’s my opinion and it means nothing. Get off his balls.

He blew his mind out in a car 🚗...
Apparently.

Billy talking bollox as usual! 🙄
Paul is a gemini so there is nothing genuine about him those geminis are as fluffy as the breeze lol
So sorry your ex is a gemini.
There's only 12 kinds of people, right? 🙄
Paul McCartney is the most over rated songwriter to have ever existed. The Beatles broke up in 1970. In the 53 years since I am struggling to count on two hands the amount of songs he has written that have any real quality
Just out of interest .. what are the songs you believe have quality ?
The Frog Chorus? Bom bombom iyeiy!
Sorry - change that to one hand - Band On The Run, Jet, Live And Let Die, No More Lonely Nights, Maybe I'm Amazed. 50 odd years since the Beatles broke up. How can we revere him so much. When I think of true songwriting talent from those years names like David Bowie, Elton John, Elvis Costello, Paul Weller, Billy Joel, Prince jump out and they all fall into the shadows when you compare with Donald Fagen and Walter Becker from Steely Dan but I suppose they are a partnership so perhaps don't count for this conversation. McCartney needed Lennon. Even after 1966 when they both wrote separately for the band he needed him for inspiration. After 1970 that we've had 5 decades of mediocrity at best.
You never heard of wings then I take it many great songs he wrote for wings not counting many great Beatles songs lol thats funny
@@blehoo1 He definitely needed John Lennon. I totally agree .. for so many reasons.
