  • I thought it was banjo chords that John's mother taught him not ukulele chords

  • I nearly cried too, SamWaterstonFanatic...

  • hands up, who hates yoko,and who blames her for everything

  • @1dannyfell Fuck off. If you knew anything about The Beatles you would know that Yoko had nothing to do with the breakup. She's an incredible woman and has accomplished more than you could ever imagine.

  • @bauersnarky If you knew anything about who Yoko is you would never write something as stupid as that ... do your homework before writing this nonsense.

  • @1dannyfell At least I'm sure she's not to blame for the Beatles breaking up ...but she's too blame for everything else ...

  • I just read that: "In the era of Jane Austen, "handsome" was an adjective frequently applied to women. I don't know precisely when it fell out of use but it was used for a long time. One doesn't normally hear it nowadays."

  • Handsome woman?!

  • Why Did Yoko had to thank Paul for being there? Once a bitch ....always a bitch ...or should I say ...WITCH>?

  • @JohnLennon100 she thanked Paul, who actually inducted Lennon into the hall of fame, as if he were some hired entertainer whom she had hired.

  • @myshkin34 Exactly .... Yoko bitching as always ...

  • see now to sound stupid but this proves pauls not dead cause how would he know all these little details like this

  • Comment removed

  • Funny how the buddhist didn't react to Yokos comment but if she said Jesus the God squatters would go mad Agian!

  • Yoko is a Cunt

  • @emokiller907 John was a tough guy. John had a temper. John was an angry young man. You may hate Yoko, but he loved her. He was lost without her. He called her "Mother." There must have been something very special about her for him to have been so totally devoted. She obviously helped him to be the man everyone loved. She helped him to feel contentment and peace. She was who he needed. If that's good enough for him, it should be good enough for us all.

  • @GryffindorFawkes2 shut up u muppet

  • @GryffindorFawkes2 Maybe he loved her in the begining ( he was under her spell..) but I'm sure in the final days he wasn't, he was just so insecure of being alone that he needed a feminine figure, a strong and smart one to help him cope with life. Read Goldman's a Seaman's biographies of Lennon and then think again about that statement your wrote.

  • a loss, loosing John, this must have been super hard for paul, understandable why, what a awesome history, just love the beatles.

  • Comment removed

  • at like 7a;30 he says shit

  • @ralphcrombie so?

  • Where the fuck is Julian? Again forgotten?

  • Julian Lennon was forgotten again! He should have been on that stage as well.

  • this guy is a legend an ocean of talents

  • i wish this video stopped at 830

  • Scouseeeerrr!!!!

  • Also, for those who say that Yoko and Linda were golddiggers, they both came from very well off families. Yoko decided to become an artist and her family thought that profession was beneath them. Her first husband was considered well off. I guess somewhere down the line she decided to live for herself instead of what her family expected from her.

  • From what I understand, they were already broken up long before Yoko entered the picture. I read something where John said that when their manager died, that was the beginning of the end. Also, George was on the Dick Cavette Show saying that there were many problems before John met Yoko. I guess people don't want to face the fact that they were just four guys who were wearing thin on each other and wanted to do their own thing.

  • @MsRiley1980 True! Not just the manager but John hired a new manager but that manager fucked with their money and Paul never trusted that manager. He knew that they were fucking with them but John and the others didn't believe Paul!

  • Yoko looks very nice with short hair. I actually felt sad watching this knowing that John Lennon was not here to enjoy receiving the award or to see how much he was loved by his fans.

  • Great to see Paul being so gracious and loving towards Yoko, she was the love of John's life and anyone who disrespects her disrespects John's memory.

  • People bash Paul for taking the role of leader after Brian died but had Paul not taken the role of leader the group would not have had the direction. The group was used to taking orders from Brian and I think it rubbed them the wrong way when they had to take orders from Paul.

  • Thanks Paul

  • 8:32 cold, cruel and calculating - she'd do anything to be invited to these gala events, even have her own husband shot dead.

  • Fuckin yoko ono. She drove a spike in the greatest group ever.

  • @melkadri Say that to John Lennon and he would metaphorically drive a spike into you, just saying, respect the lady and you respect John's memory, she was the love of his life and his rock.

  • Did anyone else's heart just melt at the ending of the speech?

  • Where was Julian Lennon???

  • @cast390 You suck

  • @cast390 Sean.

  • is Mark Chapman the man at 0:08 ?

    6:32 is Paul saying that Yoko went to his house before meeting John ???

  • @sgtpeppersplanet That one is Elton John.

  • There is none Higher

  • can someone try and convince me why all you people believe this is not the real paul? Ive been obsessed with this band since i was 7 and im not convinced. I think people like to develop conspiracys to make their lives more fun.

  • Good performance, Faul.

  • Those 4 had the best bro-mance ever. :D

  • Paul and John loved each other more than anyone will be able to know and understand.

    They ALWAYS did. They were brothers, closer than that actually.

    Just let it be.

  • Very cool , full respect to Paul & Yoko :-)

  • Like so many of us, as we get older, we aren't so emotional about the people who may have at sometime in the past, rankled us. Years down the road, I believe Paul recognizes that things happen for a reason and to just "Let it Be".

  • Paul's got big shoulders

  • why the clips over Paul speaking ?

  • No one cares how old you are. But yes, it is sad. Paul has a lovely voice.

  • Im 15 and i have been crying since the video started.

  • "This comes with love from your friend, Paul. John Lennon, you've made it...tonight, you're in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."

    I nearly cried when I heard that part...

  • bigger than budda

    

  • very emotional. notice how he, politely, puts yoko in the place she was: after she appeared, everything was gone, in a way. john became unaccesible. but anyway... life´s life. enjoy TODAY.

  • crying forever :(

  • wait.wait.wait. he was the one who sent yoko over there if only he knew what the falling out would be my jaw literally dropped when he said that i was so shocked...he made it funny though

  • "We wanted to be famous." And they made it big time they did. Very moving.

  • They cut out a part in the middle, did anyone else notice?

  • Linda looks so much hotter than this Yoko!

    

  • @TCfoxs: That was John Lennon's opinion too...

  • Notice how when John met Yoko Paul didn't have any stories left about John

  • John will desirived that reward he was great

  • McCartney is a class guy! That must have been tough to do without tearing up,....shit I did, and I didnt know the guy. !!!!

  • So when will George be inducted? Paul can have a better chance.....

    Idc if its Paul or Faul, the man has good music

  • @Chivasjr95 Both of them are inducted.

  • The Beatles broke up because they each fealt like their individualism was expanding and the band was getting less popular. Paul said,"When you die they start to kick you."

  • @EmanHohn i think youb might be right

  • The Beatles broke up because each of them were growing as Musicians and had to grow individually to find their own paths, the rest if history..

  • The Beatles broke up because of their ego's! They both had something amazing about them, and they felt like they were the best in the band.. Doesn't make them bad people, doesn't make them any less friends... Their amazing..

  • bigger than... budah LOL

  • Where the hell was Julian?? did they snub him on this???!!!!!

  • I am not liking people here saying Paul didn't say enough I think his interaction with Yoko said enough

  • In my opinion, it was Brian Epsteins death that made The Beatles break up.

  • @TCfoxs I don't know. After Brian died they had several brilliant albums so, I just think it was because their individual style of music was really forming..

  • @heyummrandommuch But Brian Epstein was the one holding the band together. George Harrison said in an interview after Epstein's death that The Beatles were now alone. They had to do most things by themselves. And that's when John Lennon and Paul McCartney almost became enemies. John Lennon thought that Paul McCartney wanted to be the band leader. You can actually see that in Magical Mystery Tour movie. That wouldn't have happen if Brian Epstein was alive.

  • @TCfoxs I think that Epstien`s death was one of the factors. I mean, they were musicians, not businessmen and when Epstien died it caused a lot of tension among the group in that aspect, not to mention the new manager hired against Paul`s wishes . I think Yoko was the nail in the coffin, though. Her constant just being-there, and the fact that if any of the other Beatles had their wives hanging around like that, John would not tolerate it at all proved too be their end.

  • @blackbyrd97 Yeah, you're right. Never thought about that before. It wasn't just Yoko, it could be anyone hanging around the band like that.

  • Comment removed

  • @TCfoxs TRUE

  • @TCfoxs i'm just glad that his death didn't have a negative effect on their songwriting.

  • @TCfoxs You're entitled to your opinion but it was a combination of a lot of things. Brian's death was the beginning of the end though. One thing that narrow minded people say is Yoko broke up the Beatles, that of course is not true at all. The Beatles remain the greatest musical group of all time

  • @DailyDale3 Yeah, Paul McCartney actually said in an interview that Yoko Ono did not break up The Beatles.

    I think The Beatles are the greatest musicians of all time. :)

  • @DailyDale3 Well yoko didn't break up the band, the 4 members did. However, setting up a bed for her in the studio didn't help neither did giving her opinion on which songs should make the cut or telling john that paul's song wasn't very good. Having a beatles single with all 4 members on the cover plus yoko probably sped up the process. She didn't break them up but she was the main reason.

  • @fairyfellermaster couldn't agree more.

  • @TCfoxs That was definitely the beginning of the end.

  • @TCfoxs I don't feel that way however it was the beginning of the end and his loss was one of the milestones towards their breakup.

  • @TCfoxs May people don't know that it was Brian who held The Beatles together. I don't remember exactly who said, but in some Biography ( I guess it was ) It was said [Few] Times.

  • @TCfoxs That's an interesting opinion - why do you think that?

  • I saw Paul McCartney last Saturday.

  • @TCfoxs That's IT? That's the end of the story?! Aaah!,

    <3!?

  • No, Paul's not dead--but this intro unfortunately was. What a great chance to tell us something ABOUT John Lennon from his perspective--what he meant to Paul, how they played off each other, etc...

  • 4:02 lol beatles sandwich

  • Why would Paul McCartney tell the story of meeting John Lennon Twice if he wasn't really him? How would he know it? And why would any man give up his life pretending to be a different man? And why Paul McCartney?Despite how sad it would be if the world knew, what kind of idiotic solution is the one of the Beatles lying like that? And Finally, After a rumor spread lie that that one, Why would they not arrest Paul McCartney's "Double?

    Think about this, Paul McCartney is NOT dead.

  • what a boring induction...

  • @Comuna hater

  • @Comuna I`m sure you`d be more exciting than Paul!

  • @Yellyist Probably!!! 

  • @Comuna what a boring comment...thought it wa sa very touching speech from paul... when hes remembering all those great times when they were younger..and growing into themselves...

    t

    times when they were young..

  • WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH :'(

  • Soo im thinkin he says shit at 7:30... Yeah?

  • @rachelswensss Yup!

  • @MrTenitis Only he could get away with that haha

  • @rachelswensss  Correct.

  • Can everyone leave Yoko only? She is amazing. She is the equivalent of Jackie Oh to me.

  • Yoko Ono sure is not talented in Rock`n Roll Music or pop. If you hear her sing there might be no discussion about. I m sure, that you or I can do better! But John gave the Beatles the power that made them great. Listen to that music and you could feel it! After presenting Sgt. Pepper John lost his ambitions to be toppermost of the poppermost and was looking for the sin of life! There ware two things he better hadn´t met. They were Yoko and Heroin. Love and peace!!!

  • When I was stationed in the Philippines, there was a bar called the 168th St Bar, which is weird, since the name of the street was Magsaysay Blvd. Anyway, there was a two foot wooden statue of Buddha on a pedestal in the middle of the place. I didn't know much about Buddhism, except that it's pro-indulgence. So I hung my cig out his open smile and let him smoke. The waitress cried. I felt bad and still do, but they shouldn't put that where drunk people are going to be.

  • @asgasdhawh Pot maybe. Meth, no way.

  • Has anyone noticed that Paul can be an obnoxious, annoying bitch, and his huge ego could have spurred the end of the band. George had issues with Paul also. Ringo was just happy to be in the band, he didn't give a f__k!

  • yoko is such a dick

  • I think HONESTLY What would John say if he was in the audience??? "HOLY CRAP...WRAP IT UP PAUL FOR GOD"s SAKE! GET ON WITH IT!" lol

  • This is the night where Yoko gave Paul John's Demo tapes... Real Love and Free as a Bird.

  • Dear Paul, this is my answer to yoour letter. I want you to understand that I do not hear your thoughts, I do not hear your messages when you speak them into the air. I got your message- your "letter, by seeing the video on youtube. I see, I hear, I am with Joanne. If you still feel that you want to see me- or to hear what I think- what I feel. . . whatever. then you must come and find her. As crazy as that my seem to you- that is the way that it is. I have missed you all. John.

  • Quit banging on the podium.

  • great speech

  • Doesn't sound like his voice saying "yeah" after 1:50. Strange.

  • The Beatles ARE bigger than Jesus

  • @steveufo5

    If so, that's a tragedy, to worship the creature rather than the creator. Peace.

  • Aw, quit pissing on Yoko non-stop like a programmed tool being indoctrinated. Think for yourself. He needed her badly when he met her and had it not been Yoko it would've been someone else like her. Sorry, she wasn't the "bitch who broke the Beatles up" because they were heading to hit the skids themselves by that time anyway.

  • @Sausahga Amen!  Well said!

  • @Sausahga Think for yourself cause I won't be there with you...

  • @Sausahga Yoko is a bummer. Was, is and always will be. 

  • Yoko's face is bigger than buddha!!

  • @DELHOOLY Your ignorance is smaller then your penis!

  • @MrTenitis speakin of penis, did ya see Yoko's enormous five head?

  • @DELHOOLY Okay, I'm going to let that go cause it was funny.

  • Feel like I'm watching the abridged version of the Anthology. I guess when you get that much press over that many years you learn to rattle off talking points.

  • Comment removed

  • @kuriokurio Exactly! 

  • @kuriokurio The point is she made a mockery of him. Listen to his version of hound dog.

  • Paul was trying not to cry.

  • I hate that everybody is hating on Yoko. I mean she made John happy..

  • @dudeandmude Are you sure about that? May Pang might say otherwise.

  • @toucansam3 listen to his last album. If that wasn't making up I don't know what is.

  • @dudeandmude any woman can say she loves john lennon and fuck his brains out it takes a succubus to change a man that was so great masons wanted him dead

  • those who hate on yoko, if it in fact is true that she split up the band, keep in mind that it means John chose love over career. all you need is love, right?

  • you, who are against yoko, don`t forget to remember that Yoko was a friend of composer John Cage and Cage influenced the so called Beatles a lot in theit music.

  • yoko ono should've stayed in the kitchen.

  • Wait , didnt john's mom ( Julia ) play the Banjo . Not the ukelele.

    Cuz thats what ive read on multiple books.

  • @jayven009 She played both.

  • when will all of you yoko haters STFU...maybe once you take your last breath, perhaps. do you realize how asinine you sound 40+ years after the beatles ended?

  • @grundycenterboy I agree! If you are a fan of John's you must accept Yoko! John loved her! I love her! Get over it! How can you be a fan and hate the woman he loved?

  • can't stop crying...

  • Well Paul: it took until 1100 hr (EST) on the 11th of November, 2011 for me to get this: Thank you. Now you have reached me, in oblivion. I love you still. John.

    so- I learned me guitar chords from a boy who played upside down and backwards with his left hand. . . are we geniuses, or what?

    I notice you call me mum "Julia"- not |Judy| like that.. bloke tim.. riley-he-riles=me/// Yeah she was the real genius: managin to raise the likes of us..

  • They should have done SNL when Lorne Michaels made the offer. That would have been a beautiful final chapter.

  • Thumbs up if you live in Cleveland, where this Rock 'N 'Roll Hall of Fame is which happens to be the ONLY 1 IN THE WORLD!

  • George should have inducted him, they were better friends

  • @theone456 But with that writin team of Lennon/McCartney, no one is more qualified, in my view.

  • @theone456 George and John became closer after the shared LSD experience. That sort of thing bonds anyone, but I truly don't understand why all three wouldn't induct him. They were all close and loved each other very much. They lived with each other from 1957 till 1970. No fan~not you or I, know what they really went through. Peace.

  • All of these stories are common stories that everyone knows about the Beatles. Paul's whole speech sounds so impersonal. This guy is not the real Paul McCartney. 

  • @SaintJorge304 Hahahaha, you fucking stooge.

  • @SaintJorge304 I can see where you are coming from with 'common stories' but, this sounds really personnal as Paul soeems to be a bit sad talking about JL.

  • @SaintJorge304 with all due respect, I'm sure Paul could write an anthology on his relationship with John.. and I didn't know some of these stories, although I do admit a lot of them sound cliche.. still, give Paul a break..
