It’s not a revolution but it is revolting.
He should marry Yoko Ono to get his creative juices flowing again.
In other words, the same kind of stuff he has been doing for years.
Interesting. I think its actually quite good. Several good rockers on the CD (eg. House of Wax and Only Mama Knows). More reminiscent of Wings than the Beatles or his solo works. I’d recommend the Deluxe version with four additional tracks (two instrumental).
Honestly, I don't think I could take 4 more tracks.
When Paul recently released his catalogue digitally, I listened to many of his post-Beatles albums on Yahoo Music Unlimited. I was pleasantly surprised by most of what I heard.
Paul's post-Beatles style is very interesting IMO.
Too bad about the Beatles, The truly great ones are dead.
Everybody gonna dance tonight
Everybody gonna feel alright
Everybody gonna dance around tonight
Everybody gonna dance around
Everybody gonna hit the ground
Everybody gonna dance around tonight
Isn't there supposed to be an Everybody Wang Chung Tonight in there somewhere?
Then there's the duet with Michael Jackson, "Ebony and Ibuprofen."
I’d agree with you about George. I believe his solo works were by far the best of the four, especially his song writing. I think most of John Lennon’s solo work was garbage. He did have several gems, though, that to this day I love to sit down and play for myself. The very sad thing is that I believe John’s best solo work was just about to begin when he was killed. I think his best effort was the song Working Class Hero...totally hits ya between the eyes. Glad to see someone (Green Day) covering it.
So in other words, this album sucks like every other. Doesn't suprize me.
Marry Yoko Ono? Please no! Anything that would cause that waked out mental case publicity should be avoided at all costs.
Plus, what do you think would happen if Paul Mc'crappy started making albums with KuKu Ono and Johnny son? Of course, Holliwierd and the loony left would fall down and worship that crap, and we would be forced to hear it on all airwaves.
It would be too much to bear. And if it resulted in a BONO-McCrappy-Johnny son save Africa- give Islamic warlords all your money concert tours, it would result in mass suicides.
In the book about the Beatles written by their sound engineer (great book btw) Paul is positioned as the one with talent. Sometimes he would play the drums because it was too difficult for Ringo. Other times he would play the lead guitar in the studio, much to George’s disgust. The truth of “Lennon & McCartney” is deeper than just the names. John’s positive influence on Paul’s songs was huge (even though John’s manner of giving positive input was by being negative, LOL). After listening to this CD, I miss Lennon more than ever.
Gotta ask one question. If you don’t like Paul McCartney as an artist why was it so important for you to post your thread? You sound very bitter. I mean there are plenty of artists I don’t like...way more than I do as a matter of fact..but I just don’t give them a thought. I just don’t buy their material.
Will you still need me when I’am 64.
Paul McCartney jumped the shark about 40 years ago.
The album before this has a couple of really out of tune lead guitar parts. No one has the fortitude, or is too starstruck to be honest with old Paul.
I don’t think he’s bitter. I think he’s just pointing out the industrial waste and pollution created in the making of this “album”. ex rock star -turned greenie wienie are such hypocrites...
