Paul McCartney Returns to Letterman - New York Post

[flakbac]

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT OOOOLD BEATLE HITS TYPICAL BABYBOOMER LETTERMAN PLAY SOME OF THAT 1965 GARBAGE

[Gauraonline]

Paul is one smart business man. George and John had had it with the Beatles and each went their own way, but Paul is still the crowd pleaser, singing old Beatle hits. George Harrison is the msot spiritual of the Beatles. John first introduced meto the life transforming words Hare Krsna, but George got into the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra big time, & asked to become a disciple of AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder of the Hare Krsna movement. John accomodated the Swami at his home

BASSMASTER!!!

[OzzyDoop]

Lennon murder

[kirk15c]

yeah beatles!!!!in my life

[pazzensutra]

It's not really AT the Ed Sullivan Theatre, it's more like ON the Ed Sullivan Theatre. It looks like he wanted to recreate the Let it Be rooftop concert or something. I guess if I was him I'd do the same thing for fun too.

[badguitarp]

he gt that facking awesome bass guitar since 1960 :P fucking great

[Thejbirdy]

NYP...crap.

[Watdafuke]

Went to see him live last night.

Amazing gig just amazing

[cubbiem]

comments below show the how all these folks know little about music or the major achievements of Macca i lived through it and have seen him live twice

i just feel sorry that u will never experience anyone with his greatness and contribution i believe ever again

its downhill from here u missed it get over it or get a guitar and assemble your lifetime of music knowledge maybe but I doubt t it u may write ONE song and live another three lives maybe u can come up with a voice to sing it.

weep !

[scob62]

its been done

[kaisariani]

the truth is that the real good work was with beatles but is a sympathetic guy to watch ,he made some intersting things after beatles

[stevene1989]

the question is, would he be that popular if he never had his beatle's companions?

[lfgubrs]

the answer is ofc not, The Beatles will always be The Beatles i mean he is Sir Paul Mccartney the bassist in The Beatles! imo

[stevene1989]

i meant if he tried to get a career in music with out the beatles.

what I'm trying to say is, would the beatles be as good if it wasn't for each other.

[lfgubrs]

you can say like this: WIthout the beatles there are no the beatles :)

[stevene1989]

good point :D

[YouBoob85]

What a stupid thing to say.

[stevene1989]

care to explain why?

[YouBoob85]

I mean what was the point of it? Sounds like you trying to rip on him and claiming his popularity was only due to the beatles. Well Duhhhhhhhhhhhh!. Its just such a negative retorical question for no reason. Everyone knows he wouldnt have been becuase you cant get more popular than they were so thanks for bringing it up just to hear (read) yourself speak.

[stevene1989]

i never said would he be more popular than the beatles with out them, i said would he be popular at all.

People look at him as a great musician mainly because he used to be in the beatles, not actualy because he's a good artist.

The beatles were around ages ago, he's a 1 man singer now, why do people keep bringing up the beatles when mentioning his name.

[YouBoob85]

um becuase he was a beatle.

[chibimaru8]

because the Beatles was extremely popular.

and that he WAS in fact involved in a lot of its compositions, singing, multi-instrument playing.

"People look at him as a great musician mainly because he used to be in the beatles, not actualy because he's a good artist." baseless claim.

[chibimaru8]

also, yes, he could have gotten lucky to be involved in the beatles, and might not have been nearly as popular as he would be if he was not a part of it. Nonetheless he was renowned to be a fully competent, very good musician. One's popularity considers multi factors (many complicated), not necessarily just one's techniques. Welcome to the real world.

[chibimaru8]

if you're still unclear about his achievements wiki him up.

[stevene1989]

ok

1. You never actually answered my question, all you said was "because he used to be a beatle and was involved in there stuff, what, so just because of that, he cant get fame on his own any more?. It was not a "baseless comment" for i was simply basing it off what I've seen.

If you ask some one who Paul McCartney is, they would most likely say "he was a member of the beatles" not "a good artist"

I.E

The description box for this video.

[stevene1989]

2. You pretty much said what i said. (and then some, which i already knew)

Which means basically you don't know the question i asked (maybe no one does)

But perhaps in future you shouldn't answer the question if you don't know the answer.

(just makes you seem ignorant)

[chibimaru8]

erm, i never intended to offend you with my attempts at answering your question, and i tried very hard not to. So excuse me if that's what i did and caused you to offend me.

Basically, frankly speaking though, your answer really cannot be answered because:

1. no one knows the answer because of course no one'd know how exactly he'd go without being a beatle. you cannot give conclusions to something that hadn't and wont happen.

[stevene1989]

You never offended me and in reply i never offended you back, so i don't even know why you would say that.

(moving on)

You made a good point, you should of just said that before, instead of saying stuff that didn't really answer the question.

[stevene1989]

which basically means you don't know the answer to the question i asked.***

[chibimaru8]

2. since no one knows exactly how well he'd go, it's more appropriate to estimate based on his music competency. Which, of course, He possesses as shown by what he'd done in and out of the beatles (yes, he did the composing, which means he's good even without the others). So what i tried to say was that one's competency in something does not always correlate to one's success and fame. Other factors could be complicated and can be very dark.

So, i basically analysed it for you

[chibimaru8]

and i basically didn't say anything more than what i had already said. Purely paraphrased it because you didn't seem to get the point.

also for the "baseless claim" i spoke of, people recognises him as a member of the beatles does not automatically mean they'd assume he's a good artist, WHEREAS, when people recognises HOW much he had contributed to the Beatles and how much he is credited for his music prowess in it perhaps explains their knowledge of him being a good artist.

[chibimaru8]

oh i felt lazy and didn't wanna organize what i wanted to say...anyways.

the "just makes you seem ignorant", is perhaps an honest response but it is a bit offensive to the norm i'd say. Or perhaps i'm just oversensitive. Either way, good day to you sir. Just enjoy the music~

[stevene1989]

I'm not sure,

It does seem a bit offensive now i think about it, but i never actually meant for it to be offensive. Anyways thanx and good day to you to lol XD

[KRvideos1]

No probably not, his best songs were his collaborations with John.

[nevikmoore]

What could be more cliché than some YouTube snark about an old rock musician being a "dinosaur"? When did music turn into Logan's Run?

[kd5hms63]

Sir Paul McCartney is so multi-talented as a performer, composer, musician, legendary singer, icon, and top entertainer of all entertainers! Paul Rocks!

[stratman06]

0:32 - she's hot.

[MattHatter]

Uh, that guy dancing in the pink shirt is a little different from when Beatlemania first hit the States, wouldn't you say? Then again, ME dancing around in any shirt would be a little different from when Beatlemania first hit the States!

[mozmuse]

I love Paul! Sigh. MACCA LUV! :-D

[caerrrr]

[guybyguyby]

[PrincessShittyBottom]

I agree, Paul McCartney is still pretty good for a 200 year-old jurassic dinosaur.

[AnonymousWhitePerson]

Paul McCartney is still very good for an 100-year-old.
