Definitely a great bassist. Now if only the twat had discarded half his songs...

Duh!!!
hehehe, never heard him referenced as Macca. And the threads point is obvious, of course it is awesome. It's just that, "Something", didn't instantly register as the Beatles tune to me...I bet there are a lot of songs called that...maybe

Apparently it's exclusive only to britain (and Ireland obviously) but he's widely known as Macca here. It's a level of affection I feel uncomfortable with, seeing as how I detest him Love The Beatles though.

is mighty. It might even be the best thing about the song.
*nods in concurrence*
i want one of those music studio programs just so i can isolate the bass on some of the beatles tunes... i'm serious.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

Words cannot express how much I despise the trademark McCartney "ditties". Songs like Maxwell's Silver Hammer, When I'm Sixty-Four etc. I like his serious songs. The ones where he tries to be quirky make me cringe. Even Ringo did cheery nonsense tunes better. I can't help it. I've felt this way since I was about 8 His whole public personality irks me no end too. Just drives me up the wall. Watching him talk on TV makes me want to break stuff. I sometimes can't believe it's the same guy who wrote some of the songs I've loved forever.
He might be a nice guy in person but by god does he annoy me

Yeah, I'd take Octopus' Garden over Maxwell's Silver Hammer any day. But I don't actively dislike McCartney.... I just don't pay attention to anything he does outside of playing some of my favourite songs.
Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

I agree with that.....
It's weird listening to songs like Maxwell's Silver Hammer and thinking that's the same guy who penned amazing songs like For Noone and Yesterday.....

ok i can understand that... the thumbs aloft aspect of macca aint my bag baby... but by fuck he could play the bass like a man who studied bass at Bass College with Professor Bassington.. who drank Shandy Bass by the way...
words cannot express how much i love the guy's tunes, music, ability.. i've been in his wee hoose for fucks sake... i've sat in his bedroom!!! :eek:

Really? what were you doing there...?
He went to my local chippy in south London twice for some reason. What he was doing in New Cross I have no idea but he likes chips and pickled onions apparently (now known in there as the Paul McCartney special. They neglected to put Heather Mills' name in there even though, judging by the picture, she bought food too). He even liked it enough to come back two weeks later. Now this place markets its food as "chips to the stars" or some shit.

depends on who's trademarking it. some people think of Paul and then immediately think of stuff like Ob La Di, Ob La Da or Maxwell's Silver Hammer. I pity those people.
the REAL trademark Paul songs...to me anyway:
Back in the USSR
Blackbird
Helter Skelter
Elanor Rigby
For No One
Here There And Everywhere
All My Loving
Things We Said Today
Fool On the Hill
Let It Be
I've Just Seen a Face
Lady Madonna
Mother Nature's Son
Long and Winding Road
Golden Slumbers/Carry that Weight/The End

Well, you couldn't have a New Cross chippie selling "French fries" at the moment.

:eek: that was terrible
My mother is fucking terrified. Says she's not letting me go back. The news couldn't have made it any worse. She was already having a heart attack about them being students and then it's like "Police say one victim was stabbed 200 times, 100 of them post-mortem, and then set on fire. Officers at the scene said it is the most violent murder they have ever seen".

imo, nothing he has done can erase the sour taste of When I'm Sixty-Four

"Macca" was John's nickname for Paul.
