"McCartney butchered "Twist and Shout" way back when. Never bought a Beatles record, never will."

Like the others posted, it was lennon. Not much of a song to butcher anyway.

I guess since the Stones did a tour, McCartney has to do one too. None of the Beatles solo were as good as they were in a group....not even close.

The group "Rain", a Beatles tribute band, play out in Reno and Tahoe from time to time...they are fantastic....sound even better than the Beatles. But without all the screaming girls...it just isn't the same.

Yep, Paul and John did a good job of filtering out each others crap.

Yep, but each recorded some pretty good albums nevertheless. The best solo Beatle effort, imo, was George Harrison's All Things Must Pass (1970), recorded immediately after the Beatles' breakup. George had tons of great songs saved up due to Lennon/McCartney's "one Harrison song per album" restriction on Beatles' records.

I shall always remember, fondly, "Imagine". (/sarcasm)
