Paul McCartney talks about musical influences

[rogerscottq]

Yeah, but Paul himself cannot explain his genius for playing bass. I'm sure it's beyond him. But no doubt: his fingers on a bass are unique and unexplainable in any ordinary way while he was a Beatle. While he was one of the four.

[Stuber9077]

I bought a cassette/radio in 1975 and recorded whatever the documentary is this clip came from off of the TV. Played it over and over and still have it somewhere! Nice to see the film again...

[socrates1818]

Big Bill was the best of the blues singers by far, and what a songwriter!

[purpledinosaurs1]

if i was a teenage girl in the 60's; i'd wanna hold his hand ;)

[wellitstrue102]

i think he likes saying "big bill broonzy" lol

[ERSlowhand94]

Im pretty sure he's the fuckin man.... anybody who can look cool wearing fat bastards skirt should be knighted.

[TheRonaldo666]

Coolest motherfucker who ever smoked a joint.

[mariagrazia405]

I influenced Paul Mccartney

[MAGICO240]

Elvis was the singer who really influenced Paul, to the point that without him the Beatles would have not existed.

[crowley24]

@MAGICO240 Your thinking about John, hes the one who said that.

[mrfester42]

@MAGICO240 What an idiotic, ill informed statement!

[chookieJS]

I fucking love his face.

[truthslap]

I love how the first influence Paul mentions is Big Bill Broonzy, the man really has taste!

[PolishChick9376]

i don't know about anybody else, but i had no idea what he said. i was just staring at his face

[myrtlebox]

Anthology extract. If you haven't seen the Beatles anthology DVD's, you owe it to yourself to watch them - great stuff.

[grommie959]

Damn right Wilson! I'm just SO glad to have grown up being able to experience his career. Great musician, great humanitarian, great father......who could ask for more?

[higrl12345]

Why cant he be the face of every guy(;

[kmalobe1]

[KaTiElOuIsEBuXtOn]

[blackspace007]

He is such a cutie. Just a prescious man

[Icymarky0123]

his eyes look blue on this video! :O!

[Icymarky0123]

his eyes looks blue :O!

[Johnmcartney10]

when this interview? Is it 1980's?

[lifestraight]

@Johnmcartney10 He looks too young for this to be the 80s. He looks at most in his mid 30s here.

[williwo]

@lifestraight I'd pin this to the late 70's probably

[meanmachine210]

@JoyNoelle8H OH YEAH

[Bazza598]

can anyone please tell me when this was, i need to know when paul gave these words of wisdom =)

[slimshine953]

@Bazza598 My estimation is that it was sometime between 1972 and 1975, based on his appearance, haircut and the plaid scarf. I recall that he wore them occasionally during that period.

[Ihy744ppp]

@slimshine953 1977, my guess..

That's about the period it was aired.

[meanmachine210]

he looks like Jim Sturgess on Across the Universe

[Mercaification]

@meanmachine210 No. Jim sturgess looks like HIM.

[RingoStarrForLife1]

He looks Sick ! Aww Poor Paulie

[BWFlynn]

Does anybody know what year this is?

[VideoVauIt]

@BWFlynn 1975

[RosySuperBeatleFan]

Well said Macca ♪

May I add that according to your own statement on Bass Player mag you said that James Jamerson was your mentor - talking about bassplayers -

BTW, both you and James Jamerson were my mentors too ♪!

[RickyGervaisFreak]

[MsBobohj]

@Ilovethebeatles98 im a boy so i wont say hot but handsome

[Ilovethebeatles98]

@MsBobohj oh okay. 

[wilsondylanmccartney]

Paul can sing like a mutherfucker. He can do the old ragtime singing. He can wail blues. He can rock out a heavy metal type song. He can do a GORGEOUS ballad. He can do a country song, if he wants to for fun. He can do a reggae tune if he feels like it. He can just do ANYTHING musical. Did a couple classical albums. Most people make a life out of doing certain types of music; and Paul can do their type of music twice as well, even if just for a laugh.

[MyDreamside]

@wilsondylanmccartney i dont like to vote the famous comments but i couldnt resist,i wouldnt say it better

[PrittyWords]

im so fucking in love. :x

[xander7ful]

Well now I've got to find out who Big Bill Brunzi is and what his music was like.

Paul looks quite charming in that Scottish scarf, doesn't he?

[jorgepeironye]

Ele é lindo! He's beautiful man! Trè bell! Più bello.
