Paul McCartney - Flaming Pie

[93MrAcdc]

Did i see paul stanley?

[Beatlemania63]

and I saw a man on a flaming pie and he said, you shall be known as Beatles with a "A"

John Lennon

[Itzzzelrivera]

0:15 looking at that lil girl watching paul...

There is hope :')

[zakmandeau]

seeing Paul on the 31st

[djadshead]

The guy at 1:44 is Ian Brown I swear!

[axeman1063]

I personally feel that this origin makes more sense because if you look at the earliest "Hamburg era" photo's of the Beatles, (with pete best and stu sutcliff) and before the "Brian Epstien's "Clean" Beatles, they are all dressed in black leather biker jackets and boots, with denim jeans, all of which confirms my belief that this is in fact the most likely origin of their name. Even George Harrison concurrs with the account below

[myrtlebox]

@axeman1063 May 1997, in an interview with the New York Times concerning the title song of the "Flaming Pie" album.

Paul: There are still a lot of things we have to fudge because of comprimise. If we don't all agree on a story, somebody has to give in. And Yoko kind of insisted that John had to have full credit for the name (in "The Beatles Anthology"). She believed he had a vision. And it's still left us with sort of a bad taste in our mouths

I still believe Paul is telling us something.

[axeman1063]

The Beatles actually got their name from Stu Sutcliff when he saw the 1954 Movie "The Wild One" , a movie banned in the UK until the late 1960's and "The Beetles" was the name of the motorcycle gang (Headed by Lee Marvin) in the film. He the suggested the name to Lennon and John said "We'll change the spelling to include the "A" thus giving it the double meaning "Beat" music.

[myrtlebox]

I've always wondered about Macca's intent on this song.

As we all know, John said a man on a flaming pie appeared and said that you shall be Beatles (with an A)...etc

Is Paul effectively saying here that HE created the name BEATLES?? by declaring himself to be "The Man on the Flaming Pie?"

[TheTdot2010]

@myrtlebox its a song about John.

[joshbrowntube]

@myrtlebox

I think he is more doing this as an 3rd person context.

[TheBach2rock]

I got to hear him do this song live. More than fantastic. All the songs were great.

I like some of the Beatles songs better when he does them. I'm surprised.

I didn't wear ear plugs. Loved the space between US concert.

[MertonHayford]

Look at 0:09!! The pretty little brown girl knowing all the words to even this not so big hit. Fantastic.

[amberitokristabelle]

:D

[alexandrerocker]

I went to the concert in brazil 22/11/2010. no words. simply marvelous!!!!

[alexandrerocker]

[ale0kiss]

[valonalien05]

[speedking186]

[MatiasArgerich]

Excelente Paul, por suerte en unos días te tenemos en Buenos Aires!

ETERNAMENTE BEATLES

[69MC97gc]

I am so glad.The first time I heard the song was back in 1997.In Mallorca,and the Song played then was another song..From the CD------The first time I saw a Ford Ka too--the song?It is about James,Pauls son who has released a cd now----James is a gardener,that is what Paul said way back when James was 11----must have been older.Paul said that James is interested in plants,in gardening,in planting seeds.You still don´t know.!997-Flaming Pie.Young Boy.

[Maccamaniaca]

he's just perfect when you see him live in concert!

[TheMaccafan]

Flaming Heck......Brilliant!!!!

[thoughtable8900]

Dude at 1:05 Paul Stanley (singer to Kiss) was there! OMG Paul Stanley at a Paul McCartney concert! Cool!!

[WalmartXXX]

GOING TO SEE HIM 26TH JUNE!

[4FabBEATLES]

using the power of more than 25 HD cameras and 5.1 digital surround sound, PAUL McCARTNEY: THE SPACE WITHIN US captures this epic experience on DVD. Better than a front row seat, this feature-length concert film takes viewers onto the stage and beyond, capturing Pauls out of this world performance--which was beamed to the astronauts aboard the space station who got a live feed from the tour.

[jpgrfan101]

lol i love this song but its probably the WEIRDEST song i've ever heard!!!!! the works are so awkward but i love them so MUCH!!!!!!

[Mirkox93]

YEAAAAAAAH PAUL

[Igelishus]

Hey that's Paul Stanley of Kiss at 1:03!!

[EmmaEasterling]

@Igelishus Sure looks like him!

[thebird55]

Watch the whole DVD. Stars everywhere. Jack Nicholson certainly enjoyed himself. I think I saw Tom Smoltz.

[4FabBEATLES]

@thebird55 that's cool--I never knew any audience guys were stars--it just shows paul really is amazing having other stars come to see him

[moptopsfromliverpool]

"...a man appeared to us on a flaming pie. he said: 'from now on u shall call urselves the beatles with an "a" '. we said 'thanks, mr. man!' and he flew away..." ~john lennon

[irishbug14]

Paul said something different, but I like to believe John's explanation. That would've been awkward if they weren't high out of their minds.

[4FabBEATLES]

@irishbug14 --John constantly said random explanations just for fun--the reality is the band didn't have a reason for the name--all of em said it could've been anything cuz hey went thru at least 4 names before this name stuck

[Leadtheband96]

at 1:05 thats paul stanly

[CelinexXxBeatles]

I saw him a week ago in Arnhem (the Netherlands) It was absolutely great! He did this song too, I love this man. And I think this is a great song!

[Menalinda88]

I'm going to see him next week!!!!

[powerpats]

3 more days and then i am going to see him live :D

[karimmatlin]

powerpats,menalinda88 & celineXxbeatles.....

[WaCoproductions]

[Enslaved10]

[unskinnyboba]

One of Paul's most underrated songs, I'm glad he added this into his sets on the last few tours

[spngebob1237]

[4FabBEATLES]

@spngebob1237 2005 ---its from Paul's "Space Within Us" tour/DVD

@XiahgoSQUEE I've seen him twice in concert and my face hurt when I left from grinning like an idiot the whole time

[dmenkhau]

@XiahgoSQUEE I have. If you ever do, I garuantee you will have an EXTREMELY pleasurable experience. :) It was my first concert, last year when I was 10. My mom took me. :)

[OctoberMountainGirl]

@XiahgoSQUEE Yes, you should. I have been to hundreds of concerts and his are my favorite.

[unclejonas]

[nick1137]

[kinolek18]

takich występów jakie daje Paul to niewiele muzyków dzisiaj daje;D Dawaaaj PaulxD

regards from Poland!!!

why won't you come to your polish fans for once, Paul?

[ExecutionOfAllThings]

anyone within a reasonable trip to queens needs to be at the show tonite or tuesday if you want a guaranteed memory thatll last forever

[ExecutionOfAllThings]

im 27 and ive seen countless shows since i was a kid.."paul's first ditty at citi" was amazing 30+ songs, 2 1/2+ hours..no break. i was exhausted and paul just wanted to keep going!

ill probably never see paul live again and im glad i was there and ill never forget it. i went with my mom who saw the whole fab4 at shea more than 40 years ago and she was so happy

[dscuber9000]

I love the drummer's dance. :p

[akatsukifangirl11]

he owns many faces

[4FabBEATLES]

@dscuber9000 I agree- the drummer's name is Abe laboriel Jr.--and he does have a personality the way he drums and stuff

[adamscrewedeve]

@4FabBEATLES yES he drummer does labor ;)

[timin770]

36 songs......wow. I saw Rod Stewart/Faces (w Ron Wood) one time and they played 50 minutes, walked off and never came back. I was a big Faces fan and I was like "WTF?"

[hofnerv03]

[hofnerv03]

holy shit I thought that was oaul stanley but I was'nt sure

I always knew kiss were beatles fans

[iamabigfatbutt]

[Guitar4Life2007]

the drummer should lose weight--he gets too excited while drumming.

[dynadave1]

Beware of those who offer "shoulds" for others

[num1Beatlesfan]

Love McCartney he ROCKS!!!

[ZebTV]

[blueice1995]

[mostrovolante]

PAUL ROCKS!

[modjohnny]

This song is great... Sounds like Classic Beatles/Wings. What do you people want?

[whillop]

This song is a flaming piece of shit .

[num1Beatlesfan]

It is not a flaming piece of shit whillop your a flaming homo

[quiznationrules]

You are flaming funny.

[Demonridesthemoon]

Well your taste of music is a flaming piece of shit

[whillop]

I think that You would like Pauls hotdog nestled in your bun , if ya catch my drift , Ya Flaming Homo !

[Demonridesthemoon]

Aren't we inteligent......

[whillop]

You are a fucking half-wit .

[bobbybolan]

Sometimes, Macca writes 'SHITE' songs ... This is just one of them!  :0(

[num1Beatlesfan]

No this song is one of his best I love it!!!!!

[3rdpug]

Vile

[MrsVanderblit]

Great song! Love the piano solo!

Paul is legend!

[eathara]

just saw it live two days ago:)

great song, awesome preformer.

it was worth every hour of standing

[ferrypad]

My Uncle, Sir Paul never die...

[BillyXFaul]

Great song and a tribute to Lennon to boot.

[Gonzalez1003]

What does that mean?

[AndreFroMan]

John famously said that the idea of calling themselves Beetles with an "a" (hence Beatles), came to him in a dream, where a man on a flaming pie said "you are beetles with an 'a'!"

[Gonzalez1003]

I think I got it...

[padinbox]

lol a dream... more like an acid trip

[AndreFroMan]

He said that in 1961, long before The Beatles tried pot, let alone acid.

[HoggyWartyHogwarts]

I saw Sir Paul in Québec. It was SO BRILLIANT! I mean, 36 song of pure genius. This man, is just a legend!

[KCVROCKS2008]

36 songs, not too many people play that many songs in a show. like when i saw eric clapton, he played about 16 songs, w/ lots of endless tedious soloing. it got old fast.

[mannypanny268]

are you serious? i could listen to claptons solo's forever! even after 60 years!

[5timesliverpoolfc]

just seen paul at the livepool sound cocert at anfield he was fuckin superb

[ironisan89]

Paul McCartney is damn cool!!

[melito9791]

Long live king Paul!

[Smara00]

Fantastic I love this music.

[num1Beatlesfan]

Damn what vocals!

[num1Beatlesfan]

Five stars all the way! ;]

[WiltatKansas]

The crowd seems stupid.

[engineally]

didn't John Lennon say when asked about where the beatles got their name : "A man appeared on a - flaming pie - and said, Let there be Beatles with an A."

[saulheadbanger]

The man at 1:10 looks pretty much like wix :p

[nilch97]

[MemoryAlmostFull2007]

[MemoryAlmostFull2007]

BTW about the "imposter" MAF2007, he/she copies my comments. Just letting u know so there wouldn't be any confusion

[MemoryAlmostFull2007]

One of my fav videos. I was at the Toronto concert back in 2005. I will never forget that night. HE WAS AWESOME AND HE STILL IS :)

[MemoryAlmostFull2007]

be aware ppl there r 2 MAF2007. I'm the real MAF2007 and the other one is a fake. The "imposter" was saying he hates Paul and calling him a demon. Now he's saying he likes Paul. Just check out the user PAULMCCARTNEY and go to that user's profile. Then click see all comments and u will see

[hpug]

thought id have a look,as expected its vile

[salvadormarley]

Come back Paul, come back the man who can write great songs. Please come back Paul, write another song like Live and Let Die or Maybe I'm Amazed - and these are only from the time when you were not a Fab. We know that you can't do a Beatle song because John is not there.

[MemoryAImostFull2007]

very nice

I would love to kiss that old man

[MemoryAlmostFull2007]

i got this video. PRETTY KEWL :)

[Ilovealtoids]

nah, its cool

[YoungbloodJohnson]

the thing the drumer does is so stupid at 1:01.

[ceefax101]

wasnt flaming pie a lennon quote

[psychgirl07]

Lennon stated that he had a vision of a man in a flaming pie that told him they would be called the beatles with an a.

[Petiber]

This is a great song! "Never mind, check my rhythm!"

[ItsAllHappening]

I'm in this vid at about 46 seconds! :D I'm also shown during Please Please Me.

This concert was a blast.

[oakfox1981]

[ceefax101]

[mls41]

and that's not the beatles. it's from he's solo works

[sgtpepper1138]

yeah, it's from of all things FLAMING PIE

[zaries123]

Yeah, McCartney's on Bass guys, lol

[rockshow21]

lol..how can you compare a "guitar player" to mccartney ?

Anyone with training can be a good guitar player, but how many Paul Mccartneys are out there ?

[jbo110]

Yeah besides, isn't Paul on bass? I think even the untrained eye can recognize the trademark Hofner.

[brunobugnotto]

PAUL STANLEY from KISS is on the crowd!

[dlpine]

the beatles. plain and simple.

[larryvgs]

Amen to that.

[BritishArrow]

Paul McCartney can rest on his laurels all he wants.

[BlandBoy]

Bah, the dude on guitar out-performs macca. phftt...

Don't rest on your laurels Paul, do something interesting!
