- Marking the occasion of Macca's 80th birthday, this excellent ten-minute U.S. interview (from mid-point in life and career) illustrates clearly that underneath it all, the world's greatest living musician Paul McCartney kept himself both grounded and together, whilst possessing more musical talent than any name one cares to mention

I didn't want to click on it, I thought, ¨hey it´s Paul again, I've heard hours and hours of this guy talking in interviews over the decades.¨ Then I click on it and I'm hanging on every word, ´cause it´s Paul McCartney and he´s just a lovely, charming, bastard.
Hahah, so true
I hate that adorable asshole!
I once walked into a very small bar at Lee Studio's and there was Paul McCartney and Linda and Lee Remick, well my heart stood still and I left really quickly, they all laughed at my shyness, I was 21 I'm 66 now and it's still like a dream in my mind but it was real
I can’t even imagine how thrilled you must have been!!
😮 Wow just wow
@@pinky69207 he is the closest to a fairytale and a legend, ever.
I’m smiling like an idiot all through this interview. He’s so cute and funny & SMART ! Man, no wonder he’s a Beatle. They all had something special.
Ever the charmer... 40ish here, now 80!!? And still charming.
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is THE TRUTH no matter what.
❤ I know... so adorable
Greatest singer songwriter musician of all time
He’s so flirty with female interviewers. Always has been. So cute.
Made me wonder if the live aid concert gave him back his confidence. Denny laine is quoted as saying he left wings because paul was too afraid to tour again after johns death. He never did tour again until after he performed at live aid and when he did, he started to include beatles songs in his set list. Must have taken a lot of courage to get back on stage
Wings did play some Beatle tunes while on tour.
@@PenguinBooks365 bthanks. Never knew that
We're lucky to have had and still have this amazing man around for so long. I keep stumbling into old interviews like this and they're always incredibly insightful and earnest. Shame we lost John too soon as he was the same but I think part of him continues on vicariously through Paul. To have ~60 years of his documented personality and philosophy out there, in addition to his music, is a wonder.
I fully agree. Where do I sign?😂 great musician and person.
So beautifully stated!
I'm pretty sure Paul has been consciously carrying John with him for the last 40+ years.

No need for me to comment, just DITTO :)

😁✌💜
No I adore him
@@janetownley I guess we all do lol

She obviously does too! Not green btw 😎
Paul is so right that when it comes to art and creativity, you need to satisfy yourself.
What a dude ! Macca is the GOAT
Paul Mc Cartney a World 🌎 Treasure
i love Pauls interviews!!
He is addicting! :}
"It's not so easy to play that guitar". That's so true. And plus writing songs.

What a great interview! One of the best, I think.
In all the interviews I watched him give, he always gives honest answers to the questions and interesting little asides. I remember him telling a story of when one of his small children first realised that he was famous. He was leading her on a pony in the Scottish hills and she said “Dad?” Paul said “yes?” His daughter asked “are you Paul McCartney?” Of course she’d always known him as just Dad up to that point!
I love Paul.
Such a talent
Paul was on top form in the 80s. He looked great and seemed totally at peace with him self, he had nothing to prove so had this natural confidence which comes through in this interview. I think Paul was the most natural media beatle, he gives great interviews with unihibeted stories and one liners. Paul got the full package in genius level quantities! Suspect this interview was done at his St John's Wood home and the harmonium in the background featured on pepper?
I love this man so much. I was 13 when they came to America. I have followed his career for 58 yrs. His music never disappoints! Gifted musician.
You are so lucky!
I was 9 and still in love with Paul. what a great era!! We grew up with the Beatles❤

Paul is a treasure. We definitely are blessed to still have him with us.

All you need is love. How beautiful! Thank you!
Paul at full steam. Nice to watch.
Thanks for sharing! We are all so so lucky to be alive the same time as this beautiful human! In centuries to come people will dream of what it must have been like to have been alive when Sir Paul was alive or George, Ringo and John etc. I was only one when John passed but how thankful I am to have had George, Sir Paul and Ringo in my life. Incredible.

I agree but be careful. The person you should count yourself lucky to know is yourself. Please, do your best to be kind and loving to others. Love is about that. John and Paul and George and Ringo would tell you....I hope.
Being a Brit he is a cool guy very bright & gave us so much growing up along with the bands & his music’ arrangements words it all in there ! Thanks Mate !
Great interview by my childhood hero
Paul, always the best
You proved a million times over you were good Paul! I knew that as a 6-year old music connoisseur in '64. Of course, Elvis got my attention with Hound Dog and Blue Suede Shoes. I still remember singing and acting out those tunes. But then one day this phenomenal music and singing came out of the transistor radio that dear Santa delivered Christmas of '63. Although I loved lots of music and artists after that day, no one ever compared to The Beatles!
Ditto
❤ Paul just makes my day
Paul is always relaxed when he is inteviewed in his MPL office
Good interview, interesting to hear him at difference phases of his life. There had been quite a gap when he didn't tour, so good for his family life
Love seeing these early interviews from the 80's. This was around the time Paul released Press To Play.
And took up johns earlier mantra when he released pipes of peace. The 80s seemed to be a healing time for him after the horrendous start to the decade
This is a very illuminating interview.
This Interview was

Someone wrote….Paul’s love songs..John’s truth…George had spirit and Ringo was peace….love, truth, spirit and peace…The Beatles
Good explanation! Love that!

How could You mind hanging out and just hearing his great stories?

I love him.
Same here!
Only for 58 years
@@janetownley Me too!
The perfect man
M3 is a fab album !
Thank you. Blessed
Live Aid should have been the Beatles doing their reunion set.
John was already gone.
@@j.bradley what's why it should have been but it wasn't
@@j.bradley I know.
If John was still alive then I’m sure they would have reunited for live aid
Top guy
Roadies are the key to a great live performance. No doubt about it.
1 of the greatest guys to ever live.
Two of the greatest
I like the way they identified him at 4.44 :)
For all the people who had never heard of the Beatles.
For those of you who don't know this man is, he's written a few decent tunes in his time 😉
handsome👏👏👏💖💖💖🆒
Yes, brilliant! If you're referring to Paul McCartney
The interviewer is catatonic. Well done Macca for rising above the banality,,,!
Muito gracioso o Paul sendo entrevistado , gentil e alegre
4:05. He answered (finally!) one of the questions I've always had about him, ever since I started learning guitar, decades ago. Does he actually practice guitar, like the rest of us? That is, does he look up chords in chord books, practice scales, practice the hard parts of songs, etc, - over and over, and day after day. He always makes it look so easy, as if he found his way around a guitar quickly, through sheer talent. I've always pictured him just noodling on the guitar to produce a new song, or have a bit of fun, and that's it for the day.
There has always been a partial answer, provided by all the Beatles - the long hours in Hamburg were where they most developed their skills, so that was thousands of hours of guitar playing to build the technique.
Well, at 4:05 we've finally got it! He says that many '70s group "couldn't actually play" and don't know their way around a guitar fretboard. "It's not that easy to play the guitar... it's difficult" he says and gives a quick demo of what a guitar play should be able to do, then adds "That can take twenty years". He doesn't mention "practice", but it's implied.
He's great. Love him.
James Paul McCartney (Liverpool, Merseyside; 18 de junio de 1942)
Watching these 1980s McCartney interviews, I always get the feeling he's wishing John was there.
He's certainly not alone, with that.
Yes, I get that feeling too. They were all terrified, grief stricken when John was murdered and took a loooong time to start performing and getting back to normal again.
I love you
The Beatles still rules
high as a kite.
I wonder where this interview spot is - he's been recently interviewed in front of these stairs. Maybe MPL office?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
his microphone went off because it was rumored that Yoko was less than 500 miles away. the yell "cut the mike!"
No
I miss John Lennon ❤️❤️❤️
So does he, if it helps.
McCartney was much more open, funny and edgy in his 70s and 80s interviews. I think he has purposefully become more monotonous and square in recent interviews to avoid any controversy. So all this idea that Johnny was the fun one and McCartney was a boring square machine who just came up with catchy melodies is all a misconception.
On the contrary, the image of Paul as a square who just came up with catchy melodies was at its peak in the 70’s and especially after John died. That image has gradually been reassessed. His interviews used to be more interesting because he was often asked more interesting questions by his contemporaries rather than the same old questions by younger people who now treat him like an elder statesman. Also, everyone mellows as they get older and lose a little bit of edge, although he was never known as particularly edgy, but he was a Beatle so there was always that touch of insouciance.
@@johnp515 Well, I was never talking about his perception in this scenario. Perception is always very subjective, it always exists in different pole and it’s only sometimes that one side gets more vocal and gets more attention than the other.
His 90s one with Conan is quite good
@@micahlingle1060 and, the one with Bob Costas.
So play the piano, if probably sounded like being a Beatle ~ I was recording every feed in nyc & I didn’t let them mix it out of sync
This went well mostly because he genuinely fancied her. He had the charm factor turned way up.
'He genuinely fancied her' - Where are you getting that from? What are you on about? He's just being affable as usual.
@@sratus This isn't the entire interview. I've seen a raw clip of them putting the mic on and her there bantering and he was full on flirting. He fancied her. Calm down little man, it's just a CZcams video. Go play with your spinner.
@@willswalkingwest7267 Oh William, you silly old man.
A little high I'd say.
He looks like David Hemmings.
You could say that David Hemmings became a star thanks to Paul McCartney. Michelangelo Antonioni actually wanted McCartney to star in his film Blow Up, and ended choosing Hemmings because he looked like him.
Tara browne aka Paul mccartney
Erinnere ihn mal bitte an seinen Fan aus Deutschland. Postcard is coming before his Tour. And please, please me, autograph for ,,the old ,not little girl,, in Hessen. Lg Ellen 😍
He´s such a wonderful cheese salad.
He looks really high LoL 🤣🤣
Not at all
7:43; hahaha. I wonder if the subtext of this is McCartney’s troubles with publishing and not owning all his own material.
"He thought I was hanging around with the wrong crowd," MCartney recalls of his dad's view of John Lennon (8:45). "And I was!" Brutal honesty and a touch of latent classism there perhaps, disguised as humor. He felt the need to do a little cleanup in his next breath.
I would say it's the opposite. It was just a joke. PM was every bit as working class as Lennon, wasn't he? I think Lennon enjoyed the "poshest" upbringing of all, with his Aunty.
@@vangroover1903 Nah, PM's situation was more secure. Plus JL was walking around dressed like a Ted. Jim Mac didn't want Paul anywhere near him and there was a lot of covert meetings between the two (at the house, no less) early on. All this from "Tune In" by Mark Lewisohn.
@@mayday63 Fair enough. Lennon himself mentioned he had a more affluent upbringing than the others, but maybe Paul's dad had a nose for trouble, right or wrong.
John admitted he was a troublemaker that wanted to stir up shit in his friends homes. He thinks it was because he didn’t have a mom or dad around. Paul’s dad was correct.
Paul's fam was actually working class. John's wasn't 🙄
my daughter loves your hair look. She bragged that it’s long in the back. We used to make fun or the boys. “Shlong” short & the rest in the long. I think Erik & the moody blues are dull.
It’s not easy to play an instrument?
I am not able to do that. I love that your wife and children love you.
Your mic went off & it was funny?
Billy Shears
Truly right. This is not Paul. He died 20 years earlier and was replaced with Billy "Shears" Campbell
Monitor wasn't working. He should've pulled an Elton John & threw a major tantrum!!!!
@Rockit 65 Paul McCartney wouldn't do that.
YLLIB
I would have liked Jane to have interviewed Paul but she didn’t seem to like him or the Beatles. She was a bit nasty to Linda. It seems that her husband Garry introduced her to it. Which seems odd to me. She was old enough to know Beatlemania and her cohort girl were into it. When she was in Chicago, she didn’t interview him. I always wondered why.
Not sure about how he portrays Linda here… like yep she’s ok and she cooks…
I adore Billy.
Yawn

The name keeps changing, I heard Billy Shears once.
It's all teen stuff, you know, so childish, so flat Earth-ish. I don't engage in conspiracy theories.

How can people not see the differences after 1966. It is mind boggling.

James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is THE TRUTH no matter what.
This interview proves once and for all that this Paul was the best Replacement Paul anybody could have hoped for after that sudden tragedy in Cheslewickstonminster. He has been with us longer, flown higher, and is still going. It's time we acknowledged that This Paul is the Real Paul McCartney (RPM).

I thought the thumbnail was Richard Madely. I'm not that bothered about McCartney to be honest, or indeed the Beatles. Needless to say I won't be watching the video, sorry. It's neither what I was looking for nor the kind of video im interested in.
yawn, yes we`ve know you don`t like the Beatles yawn yawn...you couldn`t wait to tell us though
Thanks for clearing that up I'll be able to sleep tonight

What a complicated life Billy made for himself, pretending to be Paul for 55 years!
@@chrisnolan5607
It's very strange once you find out It's really BILLY, and not Paul, what you think. 🤔
He doesn't look like James Paul McCartney, in this interview at all, I can see right through BILLY, especially now, it was 55 years today BILLY SHEARS taught the band to play.
But he was a way better musician
Oh my god billy shears was the best thing to ever happen to the Beatles
@@flamingpi2245 Hah, after 3 years of Billy they called it quits, never to reunite.
@@flamingpi2245
No one will really know if BILLY is better than James Paul McCartney, Seems to me BILLY, was a problem the other 3 Beatles didn't want to put up with him.
BILLY was and is a control freak, it was all part of the plot Billy was supposed to break up the Beatles, he took over when he made his musical debut, the one and only Billy shears, at that point he was in, and made it official to the public, but Billy's been around even before that as a Ghost writer for the Beatles.
But it's sad what happened to biological James Paul McCartney the clues are real
I preferred the real biological James Paul McCartney and so did John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr.
He's trying his best to speak with an American accent.
Without trying to sound like VIV
Live Aid London was pompous, self congratulatory crap. It was like punk had never happened. The Philadelphia set was marginally less awful.
Except for unheard stories about the Beatles, I don't think Paul has much to say.
I think he's pretty professional when it comes to revealing too.much about his privacy and personal experiences to curious people.
@@Light-Shift He's shallow.
@@lewisc215 you're jealous, right?
You'd like to be half as handsome and charming.
Sorry, buddy, he's Paul McCartney.
😁✌🤣
Well, we do! So go away
@@lewisc215 No, YOU’RE shallow, obviously.
Don't care anymore. He played for Gates.
William Shepherd was working with The Tavistock Institute and Theodore Adorno. "Paul" was an adequate musician, John a passable guitarist. Neither great, George Martin liased with Adorno. Having talked to various boyfriends, manager Epstein was suicided to keep it quiet. The Stones and the Beatles were helped and enhanced to effect societal change by a Fabian think tank, The Tavistock Institute. There was always too much political capital to be gained in popular music, particularly in reshaping society. The CIA promoted and invented rap to exacerbate gang culture in the US
What a foolish! I found out that every famous subject hast to have a conspiracy theory
William Campbell is a real person. I know him. Paul is not him. And yes he is from Ottawa. He is very old now and doesn't even really look like him anymore. Stop already.
@@adolescentwombat Who the fuck is William Campbell ?
@@PedroAmA In case it helps, even Paul thinks the Replacement Paul conspiracy is silly fun, and Ringo thinks it's hilarious.
Your fur sich bourgeois logistication merely proves yet again that capitalist society is a mass, consumer society, within which individuals are categorized, subsumed, and governed by highly restrictive social, economic and, political structures that have little interest in specific individuals.
