maverickteen100 is a perfect example of how myopic today's youth is. They are so caught up with the nonmusical politics of their modern music, that if a song isnt about being homosexual and "strong" or being a feminist and being "strong", then its dismissed as old or crap. Sorry real music doesnt need to thump an agenda, kids.
being a Beatles fan, a McCartney fan, and a Ringo Star fan, and a professional drummer and engineer for the last 25 years, i have to say that it is NOT all Ringo playing the drums on this recording..this drumming is quite technical and goes against Ringo's brilliant simplicity..Ringo just appears in the video for kicks and plays the simpler parts as he's always brilliantly done through out his career !! it is , in fact, session drummer Steve Gadd, the dude next to Ringo , who plays rest !
You know as cool as Lady Gaga is (not that cool really.... haha) she wouldn't even be here if it weren't for people like Paul McCartney. And she'd say that herself - McCartney has passed the test of time, playing for thousands of people for the last 50+ years. Will Gaga play for anyone in 20 years? Who knows.
UGGGHH!! >smh< Spence, Aspergers is a prison as real as one made of steel and cement. It drives me crazy event though my wife patiently understands. (no one else here thinks he looks a bit like Hoffman?)
George Martin always has a way of bringing the best out in Paul McCartney. He's the only one who really knew how to take Paul's great musical ideas and realize them in genius fashion!
my mate was an extra in this video, infact he got me into McCartney, I loved his Wings stuff first, but THEN I got into the Beatles..... Afterwords !.
1981...i borrowed this album on cassette tape from a friend and never returned it...i lost it 8 years ago though...one of the greatest,most listened album i ever had....Paul mc cartney is one of the few remaining living legends on earth.
Doesn't the electrician at the beginning of the video look like Ian Stewart from the Rolling Stones? The Epstein-like imppressario looks like John Hurt. How did they make George M., Ringo and Paul look so youthful at the beginning of the video?

To people who respect music like those who said well of my comments, I mostly respect the generations who like this real music (and the music of course), for those who respect the golden age of music (1940's-1980's) you make me feel glad that I'm not the only one who respects the music that will soon be forgoten (unless you pass it on to the newer generation). Thank you!
Are we witnessing the death of musicianship in popular music ? I have to wonder if ppl will write the same things about the Beiber and his ilk 30 years from now.
How good to know that the beauty of his songs and his physical beauty is just a reflection of the beauty of his soul, HE SHOWN US IN EVERY DETAIL IN MY COUNTRY PERU, HE IS REALLY REALLY GREAT!! I DEVOTE HIM
@drumdude1000 lol actually I was thinking about the older fellow in the closet fixing something looks alot like R Lee Emery ,the SGT from full metal jacket..
@TheDorr71 I know dude. Paul would have been nothing without John and maybe vice versa. OK maybe Paul was the more musically gifted but John was an ikon and talisman for his generation, I just find it very sad that there is so much bickering about a partnership that had so much genious and it is very sad that JL is gone so we will never know what they might have acheived in a reunion. The best songwriting team we will ever likely to see in pop music :(
Why can't people respect this music instead of Lady GaGa and Justin Beiber, their music sucks! Why can't it be like it used to be? Where did it all go? Thats what I want to know. I maybe a 90's child, but still I love this music just as my parents did.
@WIZKID8675 Good music trancends era. I am a 45 year old fart but I love all genres of music from all eras. Hey man Take That are knocking out some good songs now. Saw Spandau Ballet in Dubai a few months ago - they were superb and blew the main act (Rod Stewart) away. Think he was just there for a big payday. Think Spands were so happy to be back together again. They had the great songs from the 80's and were excellent. Love Macca but very sad that he will never work with John again :(
Love Macca's bass playing and bass sound on this album. Some of his best bass playing ever me thinks. I still own a Yamaha BB-Series bass exactly like this one too.
@audesemusic Yes Buddy Holly was a hero of Sir Paul as well as Little Richard. Paul sang a fabulous version of "I'm Down". Just such a genious he is. The mid section is very Billy Joel. Paul is the master I wish that people would not slag him off compared with John it is not fair. They were both an incredible talent - do you cry more when you listen to "Yesterday" and "The long and Winding Road" or does "Across the Universe" and "Imagine" float your boat. It not fair to compare, both brilliant
Why can't people respect this music instead of Lady GaGa and Justin Beiber, their music sucks! Why cant it be like it used to be? Where did it all go? Thats what I want to know. I maybe a 90's child, but still I love this music just as my parents did.
@WIZKID8675 10 years ago it would be britney spears and n'sync that were referenced, before that the new kids on the block and boys II men, before that menudo and leif garrett, before that the monkees.... come on. there have always been pop bands, and paul mccartney and the beatles were considered one of those pop bands at first (even though they were a lot more talented.)
@WIZKID8675 Um I'll let you know Ladygaga is an inspiration to a bunch of people. Theres a future coming ,so people are going to waiste their time listening to this old 80's crap.
@Maverickteen100 u say that Lady gaga is an inspiration. yet u insult Paul. guess what Freddie Mercury and John Lennon are her inspiration. John and Paul are both Beatles. So saying that Paul is crap would in turn say that Lady Gaga is crap.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@iamobeliskquake Shut up who cares what you have to say? Ladygaga has more fans than this pathetic excuse of music besides Ladygaga is a very talented person unlike this person.
@Maverickteen100 ur kinda wrong there. If you look in the Guiness Book of World Records it states that Paul McCartney is the most successful person in music and he wrote the most covered songs. Also, Lady Gaga would care because The Beatles inspired her. Paul can play over 25 instruments kid while she can only play the piano(he can play that too)

@depedro9119, Lady Gaga does have some talent but comparing her as an artist to Paul is, well, absurd. She is not in his league but that really isn't a put down of her as not many people are in Paul's league. It is amazing that younger people, and I assume this person who compare Gaga's talent to Paul's is young, think that anything that is older than last year has no relevance.
@Maverickteen100 dude! i'm fckn 15 years ols, i've got al 80 crap lp's and an lp player ! i love the beatles and paul mccartney , so fu , mady kaka sucks , thats no music, thats pc!
@justmyopinionbro If you dont like this. Fine, then go listen your Justin Beiber and Lady GaGa music see what I care, you just dont respect real music.
P.S this is not the only good piece of music to listen to (thank goodness).
@WIZKID8675 Go look up 'false dichotomy'. In no way did I mention any music I like or dislike. Guess what? I came here because I like this. That doesn't mean I'll let a moronic comment slide. People have different tastes, and suggesting you can make objective statements based on people's opinions make you sound unbearably ignorant and arrogant. That and suggesting that the only modern music in existence is shitty top 40 makes me pity you for not seeing the shitload of great art around today.
@justmyopinionbro Ok I apologise its just that I received a bunch of nasty responses to my comments recently (the responses all sound the same anyway). Plus the fact that some more modern songs dont make sense. For example, a music "artist's" idea of a song is this sentence "around the world" over and over again, and that was popular? I dont understand why it should be at all.
the beartles were pioneers of progg and psychedelia, from 1966 onwards. take it waway and say say are shameful and are recorded for cash. Many like the Beegees, david Bowie and Cher changed and turn pop crap.
The band that should have gotten back together. THE BEATLES!!!!!! Loren Michaels of SNL offer them 3 thousand dollars. They could even give Ringo less! lol
3 beautiful bass guitars played in this video by the one and only sir paul the hofner the rickenbacker and the yamaha bb great video bit of funpoked at himself and that clown ringo
@Doobie1975 Yes you are right the chord sequence is very Billy Joel like. Paul was influenced by him in the mid 70's to early 80's. Nothing wrong with that they are both brilliant. A lot of Major 7th chords descending to minor 7ths. Check out my chord explanation on the other version of this on You tube
I was 15 when this song came out. Totally gives me the chills and I can't stop playing it. Reminds me of my old girlfriend too! Time for facebook to find her next. Peace out.
video is about a band/song making it. starts out with band playing in living room, moving to radio station, being discovered by an agent who hears the song on radio, who then checks out the band now playing before a large audience; then band signs a record contract
@GOLDENGAMINGNETWORKx I never thought about that, you're right! It's the beginnng of a band, the driver is the roadie, the sole survivor could mean paul, the only former Beatle in Wings. I think this song could be about Paul's band Wings
This had a great bass riff! He played it on his Yamaha bass which he only used for a short time in the early 80's (the "sunburst" colored bass later in the video).
@TashTrinka - I dont agree... Just because Lady Gaga and Justic Bieber are huge, doesnt mean that there is equally good music coming out every day. its just that you have to look harder for it
What a blast from the past seeing this gem all over again. I just heard it on the radio & I had to see if the original music video was here. I remember it in the early days of MTV, they used to play it a lot. Such great memories. I remember being intrigued by the format from the start, a great tune, seeing the musicians perform it & a directed story to boot. It's cool to see a young John Hurt cameo. Even in the few shots he was in, he delivered a great performance. I haven't seen this in years.
I don't understand why this song wasn't as popular as "Ebony and Ivory" was, while "Ebony and Ivory" was a good song I personally liked this song more, this song is definitely one of Paul's most underrated songs
Richard Herd.... thats too cool!

@Maverickteen100 I love that your comment has received so many negative votes that it doesn't even appear in the comments listing anymore. Maverickteen100 - You don't get it!!! Lady Gaga vs. Paul McCartney. Are you kidding?!! Do you even have a clue what this man did not just for rock'n'roll but popular music in general. You don't have to like his music but you better respect the man!!

@depedro9119, Lady Gaga does have some talent but comparing her as an artist to Paul is, well, absurd. She is not in his league but that really isn't a put down of her as not many people are in Paul's league. It is amazing that younger people, and I assume this person who compare Gaga's talent to Paul's is young, think that anything that is older than last year has no relevance.

@WIZKID8675 I agree 100% but people conform to the negativity in society, hence Lady GagMe, etc

@WIZKID8675 "Why can't people respect the music I claim to be good? They're stupid for not having the same opinions as I!"
That. That's what you sound like.

@justmyopinionbro If you dont like this. Fine, then go listen your Justin Beiber and Lady GaGa music see what I care, you just dont respect real music.
P.S this is not the only good piece of music to listen to (thank goodness).

@WIZKID8675 Go look up 'false dichotomy'. In no way did I mention any music I like or dislike. Guess what? I came here because I like this. That doesn't mean I'll let a moronic comment slide. People have different tastes, and suggesting you can make objective statements based on people's opinions make you sound unbearably ignorant and arrogant. That and suggesting that the only modern music in existence is shitty top 40 makes me pity you for not seeing the shitload of great art around today.

@justmyopinionbro Ok I apologise its just that I received a bunch of nasty responses to my comments recently (the responses all sound the same anyway). Plus the fact that some more modern songs dont make sense. For example, a music "artist's" idea of a song is this sentence "around the world" over and over again, and that was popular? I dont understand why it should be at all.
P.S I dont all modern songs are terrible.

the beartles were pioneers of progg and psychedelia, from 1966 onwards. take it waway and say say are shameful and are recorded for cash. Many like the Beegees, david Bowie and Cher changed and turn pop crap.

Starting at 3:19 until fade out, LOVE the signature Wings chorus, best part of the song IMO.

This song kind of resembles an upbeat version to Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are" and I take that as a good thing
Doobie1975 1 year ago
@Doobie1975 Yes you are right the chord sequence is very Billy Joel like. Paul was influenced by him in the mid 70's to early 80's. Nothing wrong with that they are both brilliant. A lot of Major 7th chords descending to minor 7ths. Check out my chord explanation on the other version of this on You tube

video is about a band/song making it. starts out with band playing in living room, moving to radio station, being discovered by an agent who hears the song on radio, who then checks out the band now playing before a large audience; then band signs a record contract
GOLDENGAMINGNETWORKx 1 year ago 3
@GOLDENGAMINGNETWORKx I never thought about that, you're right! It's the beginnng of a band, the driver is the roadie, the sole survivor could mean paul, the only former Beatle in Wings. I think this song could be about Paul's band Wings

This had a great bass riff! He played it on his Yamaha bass which he only used for a short time in the early 80's (the "sunburst" colored bass later in the video).

@TashTrinka - I dont agree... Just because Lady Gaga and Justic Bieber are huge, doesnt mean that there is equally good music coming out every day. its just that you have to look harder for it

What a blast from the past seeing this gem all over again. I just heard it on the radio & I had to see if the original music video was here. I remember it in the early days of MTV, they used to play it a lot. Such great memories. I remember being intrigued by the format from the start, a great tune, seeing the musicians perform it & a directed story to boot. It's cool to see a young John Hurt cameo. Even in the few shots he was in, he delivered a great performance. I haven't seen this in years.

I don't understand why this song wasn't as popular as "Ebony and Ivory" was, while "Ebony and Ivory" was a good song I personally liked this song more, this song is definitely one of Paul's most underrated songs
