James McCartney - Fairfield, IA 11/14/09 - Denial

[tazlynn1958]

For sure he needs to find a day job, he's not a chip off the block as far as I can hear, Correct me if I am mistaken.

[dejamoocathy]

Chest full of hair thats for sure

[chuckles9605]

Musically speaking......not my cup of tea! Thank God for all that Macca money which allows James to play music full time (I am guessing....). Anyway, no worries in the security "department". I know no one that wouldn't trade places with him.

[rodman2005]

his 'grunge' voice is over compensating for his father's melodic tones and he's trying to inculcate memories of John Lennon's rebeliousness~ IMHO

[ramosax4]

I love the Beatles and Paul McCartney, but I feel sorry for his son James. He obviously is trying to distance himself from his dad and anything that has to do with the Beatles to his detriment. His music is okay, the voice is not very good but he's okay. The look - all bad. I mean someone who comes from a father like MAC can and should hire a personal trainer, and for God's sake grow some hair on that melon.

[TheBeatlesluvdaisy]

what happend?!

[TheKing2033]

After Paul James is just ordinary musician

[hopesignals]

I dig the denile true scream... yah.. that's right.. people I m calling this Indie it's just not commercial crapp it's art and too creative intellectuality. My Goth teen is working on a radio show and this could be an added song definitely.. Goth is poetic philosphy with pang not stereotypical dark metal all the time.. but art utmost! James is really into melodics like his dad, the plus pillar that most miss! Thanks for putting this out here!

[JapaninArmeija]

He has a very pleasant voice, and apparently he's some bit a grunge fan too...

His manly looks may become as a surprise to many. But I really like him.

[jetbirdzme]

Best of luck James! U do have your own sound and it's a perfect one! NICE ;) Keep it a going mate! :)

[ironcitydevildog]

He sounds alot like his dad but I'm sorry James has his own style and I think it has to do with him looking and acting like his mother the great Lady Linda!!!!!!

[qqssaa]

i like this song ! does he have a CD ??

[dickwa]

How would you like it if your dad was PM. Face it, he will forever be compared, give him props for being himself and sing what he knows best. Nice Job.

[cmoerzdp]

fascinating voice!!!!!!!!

Great job james!

[jcmsaf]

fookin hell. thats a nice rack.

[MsParapapa]

He has a fan here. Very authentic voice and music. His music is very 90's alternative rock. Great job James. We are waiting for the album.

[jdmata]

FANTASTIC and ORIGINAL!!!! Right On, James!!!!

[lately1000]

Great!

¡Estupendo!

[katie8758]

I think his songs are wonderful and original. I think this song would have been better without the screaming though IMO, but nonetheless I think James is great!

[NeilFraudstrong]

I don't get why everyone keeps calling him fat.  He's not the skinniest guy in the world, but I think fat is an extreme comparison.

[osdega]

waw he finally decided to follow julian, sean and dahani good job hey do you know if james has an albun alredy o if i can download some of this songs he is really good

[philylennon]

MOOBS!!

[NicNac13c]

philylennon: ASSHOLE POSTING COMMENTS ON YOUTUBE!  Fat is the only demographic people are allowed to mock these days. Get your fill of it now because someday you'll be fat or else you'll be dead because a fat person will sit on your skinny ass.

[philylennon]

don't eat and talk at the same time thats just rude!

[monkeymichel]

that's phat

[sunriseRISE]

.. well its not as good as babyshambles or alex turner....... kind like dated yanki- anki pearl jam shite... but hes got the vocals... and he seems more lennon aand its way better than his dad.....whos last good work was in 1973''BAND ON THE RUN''...

[sam0xin]

Leave Paul McCartney alone ... people ! This Is James McCartney ! ! ! Seriously, why you comparing him to ANY ONE ?

Is this cool for you? listen & enjoy it ...if not , go get some dust...it MEANS you are in wrong page of Utube...

[MrLrossana]

@sam0xin why not? sean and julian have always be comparede to john......at least sean and julian and dhani are much better than james.....he' an ugly man....my god i feel sorry for paul......

[444mariam]

5****)))))))

I have been waiting for Pauls son to begin some musical ventures and this is pretty impressive. However I do not think he will grow to great heights. The screaming is really depressing. There is just no need for it, not to mention it sounds like nothing more than noise. If he wants to scream he should ask his pop how to do it right. His style of music is okay. Nothing different from what I can hear so far. I hope he does get some recognition, but as the fate of Julian he has his sire live up to.

[loveisyou18]

His he planning on playing anywhere else??

And does anyone know when his cd his due? I really want to hear more! :D

[loveisyou18]

Holy shit I'd be scared!! :o

[PD1968]

Good luck James,looking forward to the album release.

[philylennon]

he can't sing about real things because of his background. Thus his lyrics are always gunna suck megga balls!

[MegaMacTV]

@philylennon Lol, what are "real things" to you?

[philylennon]

I can't really remember what I wrote, as my comment can't be seen (too many thumbs down). However I think I wrote that his lyric writing skills are rubbish, because he's got nothing to write about. Which is true judging by the awful boring lyrics of all his songs that arent different or unique in anyway, from every other boring cookie cutter song that Ive ever heard! Not saying i could do any better like, just throwing it out there.

[MegaMacTV]

@philylennon I will have to agree 80%. Although the other 20% is filled with hope only, lol.

[philylennon]

Same here man, must be a lot of pressure on his shoulders though, having everyone compare him to Paul McCartney, I dont think he will ever get anywhere near that level though, because he hasnt had the same upbringing and experiences, which is half the making I think.

[pacepug]

he looks like uncle fester

[Sunriseatnoon]

Good grief, LitmusPaperSnafu, you sound like a 1) McCartney hater 2)a soured songwriter who didn't ge his due and your personal assessment has almost nothing to do with James' performance! So he's not perfect? Who amongst us is?

[boblazlo]

Wish my first gig was that good!

[Brazilady]

it's his first gig?

wow....he will be huge!

[nicolaz111]

that's the kind of good stuff I hear in some quarters of the Seattle scene, from the videos I'd say a lot of work went into the words, I'm curious to see where this is going

[selenarecuerdo]

he did great, I bet anything he will be remembered as the best othe beatles sons, this song sounds great being his first esperience, plus he is the most original all of the rest of the sons of the beatles even , he could have started when he was a young boy ,but he is so original that he started now in his 30's

[Sunriseatnoon]

I love this one!! So glad he doesn't sound anything like his famous father! And glad he chose a down keyed scene for his debut. Can't wait for the cd to come out in the US.

[Faithinmeiseasy]

He's gutsy!and know what?he's got talent.he's cool!

[Kimians]

Obviously a tough road he's taking on. But, for first outing, bloody brilliant. This is whats going to happen though, there's obviously good talent in ALL the band members but guess who's gonna get all the attention. It's up to you James to do as your old man did with Wings - give evrybody a chance to shine - and you'll do alright. Well done guys.

[zephyrquartz]

Great opening bars and sound of the guitar. Vocals need work but the song's good. The screams need more feeling behind them to be effective. May be better to replace them with singing with passion. Can't understand the words always, which makes one lose the song. But I love this one, still.

[rosesnlollipops]

he could scream, cool !
