THE BEATLES PAUL MCCARTNEY TALK ABOUT QUEEN FREDDIE MERCURY

[QueenAny18]

The Beatles is one of the best...But Queen...They inspired me...Freddie's voice is incredible...

[MetrazolElectricity]

Beatles are the best but Queen managed to top the sales of Sgt. Pepper!

[skybourne96]

king mercury :)

[Kimep5]

For me Freddie Mercury is number 1!

[MrTamerlan1980]

the beatles is the first commercial success around the World it made them best...many bands recognized the beatles pushed them to create music..even metall!!..Queenn is the best too but the beatles will be always in the special place..unfortunately higher than queen...

[bilbaobizkaia]

@MrTamerlan1980 Beatles Metal and Queen punk

[bilbaobizkaia]

Beatles are a good group........ but Queen is supreme!!!!

[McM2000]

I like them both. Without Queen, without the Beatles something really good would be missing in musical history. I am glad that their music won't be forgotten.

I really miss the heart, soul and good melodys in today's music. :(

[Djo98100]

THERE BOTH THE BEST :)

[solarDeviant]

@koalajones88 I agree!!!!!!

[heatwhisperedtrees]

LOL Paul doesn't want to be campy. He should try harder!

Gotta Sing Gotta Dance: watch?v=PhVaDFoFMJk

[OlaNaTungee6]

freddie had a big voice and big hair...

[JoshWrTV]

I well here you go the beatles are my absolute favourite band but I can still put my hands up and say queen are better cause they are. The beatles at the beginning of there career were clumsy and insecure like the queen fan said they were only secure because of the media and that's the truth. Queen on the other hand were set to rock right from the start. Bryan may miles better lead guitarist then George Harrison. Don't even think about saying ringo is better than the drummer from queen cause th

[solarDeviant]

@JoshWrTV Thanks for not being an asshole. What I mean is, at LEAST you recognize Queen's talents even if you like the Beatles. It turns me off when a Beatle fanatic FORCES me that they are the greatest without even slightly considering the fact that Queen were of a different order. So cheers mate!

[MrMGD92]

@JoshWrTV I think beatles are better but thats my opinion.

[msanm5]

@koalajones88 hello kid! nah...the beatles are considered by all the greatest. sorry

[mercuryforeva]

@koalajones88 This fool tried to convince me with an epic failed attempt. The worst arguing skills I have ever seen from someone who wants to claim they have a good knowledge of music.

[mercuryforeva]

@koalajones88 100% agree.

[msanm5]

@koalajones88 the beatles: greatest artist in history

[msanm5]

@koalajones88 in your opinion. its funny cause u want to have the last word. ahhaahhaa

beatles will be remembered like mozart and beethoven hundreds of years from now. second class bands like queen, stones, zeppelin and others will be forgotten. jajjaa

[msanm5]

@koalajones88 for you, but not for the world. hahahaha. fail.

[msanm5]

@koalajones88 once again..you wont change anything kid...get over it hahahaha. everyone wants their favorite band to be considered the best..trust me..i talk to people like you everyday but who are fans from other bands..i;m kinda used to it. queen has some good songs but they're boring...the songs have the same sound..not too much diversity. queen is good tho. like paul said. :)

[msanm5]

@koalajones88 you're doing the same thing you say about the artist with queen. you're so confused about personal taste and better music..so you think queen is better. hey buddie, i take that all the time from doors, zeppelin, floyd fans. they all want to compare themselves with beatles and say they're better. hahhaha. like i said, you wont change a thing. beatles are considered the greatest in history. sorry buddie.

[msanm5]

@koalajones88 and thats where you're wrong. for example in the rolling stones magazine the beatles were voted greatest artist of all time...also..they had 4 ALBUMS ON THE TOP 10. and for this you may say its the ''media manipulation. wrong. the people who voted for this were music artist WORLDWIDE...not anyone. and its kinda funny how i need to ''prove'' something when everybody knows the beates is the greatesband. no one will ever match their music and success. what u say wont change anything.

[msanm5]

@koalajones88 hahahaha..that what everybody that loves other band say about the beatles..cause they got nothing else to say. elvis and lady gaga and the beatles? there's a difference..the beatles are musical genius and the other 2 arent. thats why gaga or elvis dont top any musical competition. if you search for polls and the top 10 greatest albums you'll see that the beatles absolutely owns all. why? if you wanna keep thinking is the media do it. but the world knows they're the best. go cry.

[msanm5]

@koalajones88 the world knows that the beatles are the greatest band ever...if you wanna think that queen is the best the good for you...but just wanted to clear that out for you kid.

[BananaSandwich1]

the beatles are overrated shit, queen rules

[BananaSandwich1]

freddie had a good voice, no shit paul

[FRE1991DDIE]

Continued:

Everyone knows I Want It All, but I'm having trouble finding a Paul song.

[FRE1991DDIE]

PEOPLE!! Listen, without The Beatles there would be no Queen, we all know that. But just because they looked up to them it doesn't mean they can't be better!

I saw Paul in August, and for those of you who say he's jumping around the stage, that's bullshit.

Freddie on the other hand, was always jumping on stage.

Plus, Queen's music never failed to reach the charts. Name me one Paul McCartney song from 1985 to 2005 that everyone knows.

Name me one Queen song from 1985-1995 that everyone knows

[joseutuado]

Are you totally out of your mind?? Queensrÿche said about Innuendo:

“ I found out later that this was one of the last songs Freddie Mercury recorded before he died. He sang it from a wheelchair like his life depended on it. It’s such an impassioned performance. When I was in the studio recording, I pictured Freddie and tried to imagine what it must have been like for him to sing this song facing his own mortality. I could never hope to top it; I just wanted to pay tribute to his performance.”

[mercuryforeva]

@joseutuado Freddie could sing though eh :) whereas, erm, Paul actually in comparison... well, average singer to say the most lol.

[solarDeviant]

@poussyledzep We make associations between the piercing riffs or a dancing ballerina and the endless catalog of moments in our lives. When you give reasons for why we should love The Beatles like “They’re the greatest band in history.” “They defined music and everything it could be for a generation,” so on and so forth... these are your own personal reasons.

[solarDeviant]

@poussyledzep In that case, why do we even bother liking anything resembling art when we’ve already been told what we’re supposed to have a preference for? The answer is simple: We cannot help what moves, touches or speaks to us. We come to like these things because we derive some sort of meaning from them, whether consciously or otherwise, that is completely personal.

[solarDeviant]

@poussyledzep However, when it came to The Beatles, people like myself or mercuryforeva are suddenly not allowed to dislike them. This led me to consider whether music, or art in general, really is subjective. Is it possible that there is some standard, objective list of bands, albums, paintings, movies – what have you – which we’re all supposed to like?

[neil73]

@solarDeviant Taste is VERY subjective. If someone says they don't like an act to the person who thinks the same act is the saviour of the world, it can be very offensive. Just the other day I fell into an argument with a Radiohead fan - and was called a retard because I didn't like them!lol!

[solarDeviant]

@poussyledzep Therefore, I am not a fan. This doesn’t mean that I don’t respect the talent within the band and the transformative power their lyrics have had over so many generations. I just cannot lie and say that I love The Beatles. Given my honesty -- and even mercuryforeva's comment - and my assumption that musical tastes were personal, I cannot help but notice violent (lol) reactions to his frankness. I think people should always be entitled to like whichever musical act pleases them.

[solarDeviant]

@poussyledzep Apart from the delicious slice of cello-driven melancholy that is “Eleanor Rigby,” I cannot say that any Beatles song really speaks to me. I’ve listened to nearly the entire catalogue and no sparks.

[aboeklaas]

@poussyledzep

ARE YOU JOKING??? Have you heard freddie's voice at the Innuendo album (4 years after Knebworth)????, it's the best it's ever been! paul's voice is absolutely nothing compared to freddie's. Nobody from my age (mid 20's) talks about paul mccartney, everyone talks about the greatness of Freddie's voice, even when they're not particular fond of queen.

[FREDDIEMANIAC]

@poussyledzep...And, your point?

First off, Freddie suffered fr nodules, which made it incredibly painful to sing leaving his voice unpredictable at times.

Second, not much to lose for PM, when he never had a voice to begin w/ !

Queen songs are incredibly intricate & complex; hence, very hard to sing, as opposed to songs w/ the normal 3 chords. Btw, Bohemian Rhapsody has SIXTY CHORDS!!

So you're really comparing a group who rode in on Elvis's coattails to a sophisticated, skilled talent - QUEEN!

[edmame]

@poussyledzep paul's performing style is never as physically taxing as freddie's - that's basic difference not going into any question of superiority. knebworth was a long tour winding down w/ wears/tears. after some rest his vocals on innuendo are hardly lost or shot. focusing on that is like judging paul's entire career on his shot voice @ live aid!

[poussyledzep]

@edmame

you didn't answer my question,Freddie lost his voice at age 40 !!knebworth was a proof ,Macca is still rulling giants stadium at 68!!he is just PHENOMENAL AS THE BEATLES WERE!!!

Mercury is a screamer,macca is a singer thats the diffrence!!!

[funkblue2]

@poussyledzep That's a silly analogy. If Paul had to sing Queen songs day in and out around the world, his voice would have not lasted a year. If Freddie had to sing Beatles music, his voice would still be good even in his grave. Queen music had higher notes, is more complex so your comparison is moot. Besides, Beatles stopped touring in the late 60s--that shows revealed a lot for a band.

[mercuryforeva]

Freddie Mercury even to this day kicks paul mcfartney's overrated ass.

[poussyledzep]

@mercuryforeva

i think you forget who the fuck is Paul Mc cartney???Learn rock history before posting crap,if the BEATLES Didn't exist there will not be Queen.Who wrote the first Opera Rock song if not Eleanor rigby by Sir Paul,ask Brian May and Freddy who are both fans of the genius of the beatles.

[mercuryforeva]

@poussyledzep The simple statement of 'if it wasn't for the beatles there would be no (ins. band here) is ludicrous. They didn't create rock, they were a part of a musical revolution! The Beatles were the first band in the 60's to get the chance to be revolutionary, doesn't make them talented. They couldn't even sing. Album sales also doesn't equate to talent. No genious, just in the right place at the right time, it’s like saying if it wasn’t for Bach, there would be no Mozart.

[solarDeviant]

@mercuryforeva You have a point there. Nothing is more annoying than somebody trying to convince me The Beatles revolutionized music and, without them, we would not have so and so. That argument is weak and false. I wish this statement was true because, if it was, we wouldn’t have pop sensations Britney Spears, T-Pain or American Idol. The Backstreet Boys were revolutionary. But they sucked, too.

[solarDeviant]

@mercuryforeva I agree! How can a band who stopped playing live shows in 1966 and started making just studio albums be ‘the greatest band ever’? Individually, they were mediocre. Together, the Beatles have had an impact on popular music. Individually, not so much. You don’t look at the band members and say, “He is the greatest person to play that instrument.” Also, John Lennon and the rest of the band preached love and tolerance, yet hatred and jealousy among band members tore them apart.

[FREDDIEMANIAC]

@mercuryforeva .....OMG! How well said! In fact, I had to check to see if I had written it b/c I tout that same exact truth ab the B's - right place, right time! That's why I call them the luckiest band ever! Which, ppl like you and me know does Not translate into talent, let alone the undeniable genius of Queen - the greatest band on the planet!

And Freddie...there are no words for what he did to a song. The magic, passion, & charisma he imbued in every lyric - phenomenal - pure genius!

QUEEN!!

[solarDeviant]

@poussyledzep Personal tastes are just that: Personal. They are guided by your experiences and preferences that are unique to you. You want to avoid being labeled as a brain-dead moron? Be absolutely and unapologetically aware of why you like something. But then again, that’s just MY personal opinion… and anyone who doesn’t like it, doesn’t know a damn thing.

[solarDeviant]

@poussyledzep The music of arguably the most critically-acclaimed and commercially successful band in the world touched them in ways perhaps only they could explain. But why would those reasons necessarily have to be transferred to someone else? Permit me to argue that one’s entitlement to enjoy a certain band’s music should then allow another to dislike it. And feel free to apply this argument to art in any medium.

[queenandi]

Ohh would I love to hear Queen perform 'Because'. Can you imagine that? 'Because' with the Queenharmonies like the '70s' style. The voices of Freddie, Brian and Roger. Or Queen perform live on stage 'I'm the wallrus'.

[austriacan]

yeahhhhhhh that's right mr maccartney, freddie is so much better than you!!!!!!!!

[PenelopeShun]

@liamkeating2010 the song is ``Liar`` from the 1st album of Queen, Queen.

[pedrocollares]

I love that song......

"LIAR!"

just amazing

[Amabardos]

The Beatles = "The reincarnation of the Rock 'n' roll"!

[ivikaEilona001]

and freddie never said something of paul????

both are the best singers!!!!!!

[Favas1996]

Freddie is the best singer ever by far.

queen is the best band ever

I like some songs of beatles for exemple: hey jude, let it be...

[JimmyCarlinSk8]

Im not a big fan of the kind of music Queen makes but I can't help loving them when Freddie has that incredible voice!

[cha2kat12]

I could never choose between The Beatles and Queen. They're both great. The Beatles started it all. But Queen continued it and made it more there I say it "Rock n' Roll" type. They are also very cute. That is why I always have a hard time on who is more cuter. . .THEY BOTH ROCK MY WORLD!!

[LeandrusElUnicus]

@cha2kat12 Hi!, yes. It's similar to me. I love BOTH bands. It's like when you were a kid and you were asked 'who do you love the most, your mum or your dad?' I prefer Queen or The Beatles ALL MY LIFE, and not the crap that is music nowadays 'Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, etc' Best wishes and regards!

[frankdyna]

Queen were the greatest sounding band ever !!!

Sorry Beatles

[StrikeForceUnlimited]

@frankdyna Beatles were better, but Queen are good. 

[matemagyar]

Freddie is the QUEEN Of SINGERS!

The Queen is the KING of ROCK 'N ROLL!

The Beatles is the GODs Of ROCK 'N ROLL!

And we didn't even talk about the Rolling Stones XD

[kinolek18]

[javialpalo]

jajaj! ok! ok. I think freddie by himself is better than the 4 of liverpool! by far better musician, he didnt mix poltics as lennon did! he lived for the music that s why he is the best my friend, beatles only lasted 7 years , and didnt invent the rock as you may suppose so,, , queen was superior in every way! that s it adn end of discussio, remenber ! queen is superior in every way, voice , guigtar , drums , composition!

[kinolek18]

well you're the first Queen fan i met that have NO CLUE about ROCK... i REALLY thought that if someone claims himself as QUEENFAN knows that the Beatles have started all that stuff...

[javialpalo]

ok , go to your grands and listend togheter to the sadnees melody i have heard , the melody of yellow submarine! depress me really bad! queen rules! and remember freddie is the king!

[kinolek18]

then don't listen to the Beatles!! and i have never said anything bad about Queen or Freddie! HOW COULD I?!?!?! i don't get it... You say Freddie is King which is right:) and then you say Beatles are boo :O don't get it man, don't get it... there's something wrong with you, sorry...

grow up or something...

[javialpalo]

of course i wont! im in anger with beatles , cuz, the stupid of ring star been asked once if he know queen ? he said ,, the queen ,yes , she is the buckinham palace, ignoring the group! you know what i mean, i shouldn´t have put the rest of the band in the same bag , i hate that stupid ringo star indee, he is so stupid!

[kinolek18]

@javialpalo haha now you must be joking! it's RINGO! i see you have no clue about his sense of humor;)) check out the Beatles interviews if you don't believe me..(of course you won't, you're not interested in the truth). btw it's one more reason for me to love them...

[mouloudo]

@kinolek18 but I think Queen was better at anything... better singer, better guitarist, better bass player and especially better drummer lol... but music is a matter of taste I guess

[reneperezz]

@javialpalo queen has some good songs but the beatles blow them out the door. enough with your crap. Beatles are the greatest... Queen doesn't even deserve to be mentioned with the Beatles, thats the truth!

[Queenlvr314]

[LEdPRINCEgirl]

@joseutuado THANKYOU for posting this. God bless you man. People like you should be given a fucking trophy for excellence.

[1QueenLover]

@Queenlvr314 You have to search ebay and places like that and hope you found it. I got lucky and found it from a UK seller on ebay. It's hard to find and only available on VHS.

[1QueenLover]

My two favorites of all time, Freddie being #1
