Since he married Heather Mills? A program about her on the television last week, showed her for what she is - a gold digger. So does poor old Paul suck, or is he a sucker?

Some of the stuff that Mac did in Wings is fucking fantastic. I don't know how anyone could say he sucked after the Beatles. It's prolly pretty difficult to write great songs for 4 decades without having dry spells. Groove Monkey, how could you possibly say that Mac sucked as a bass player? Let's not lose touch on reality here. Mac is considered one of the greatest bassists ever by many people, myself included. I understand if his style doesn't do it for you, but to say his playing is shite is shite.

yeah, I've always had that impression, that Paul was the one who kept it all together, the working-class guy with the down-to-earth work ethic that kept them going, and John was just on a big rock'n'roll pose... after all, he broke the band up.

there's 2 sides to every coin and if you look at these 2 astrologically...one the libra> and one the gemini who WOULD sell everything to crumbly face himSELF
eventually and live to face that ghost.....you learn a lot about who we are...,not just paul and the beatles. it was john who tired of the beatles
status of complacent rock-star acceptance and doing normal rock-star things. he wanted to publically and privately protest the war and make weird doodles naked in bed and hold to a desire to perform as an individual and not forever as a part of "the fab four". in pauls' defense....he is amongst one of the best bassists to play AND SING simultaneously.
i mean....geez....they wrote a thousand songs and he could walk up there and perform the damned things and make millions scream. then again....
ebony and ivory....

what's funny and sad is that he had to ask michael and yoko whether ONE song could read mccartney/lennon and MJ said.....no!
paul...."it's only business."

i say it's only karma.
t'would make him a more humble and spiritual guy by now....i'm thinking.

although the split was an ongoing thing, McCartney was the first to officially leave the group. look it up.

bassist? thoughtful and melodic. what was required and nothing more. the bassists who suck are "lead" bassists out of the flea/stanley clarke/chris squire school who turn the treble up, overplay shit and mostly just show-off their chops. yuck!

the changing the credit thing may seem kind of small and revisionist, but also might more accurately represent the contributions, especially with the later stuff, when there were obvious John songs and obvious Paul songs. And what was Lennon's contribution to "Yesterday"?

some of the man's tunes we silly fluff, others we nothing but brilliant and will be remembered long after we're all worm food.

Paul was the best musician in Beatles. In some Beatles songs, the bass line almost is the song, like Taxman, or Come together. He could play melodic, contrapuntal lines or groovy riffs, whatever it took. Or just play one note, if that was needed, like in Tomorrow Never Knows.
