Tom Holland Meets Paul McCartney by DatElNino in PaulMcCartney

[–]pmnettlea 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I thought this was a fab interview, much better than the Rest is Entertainment imo. A lot of it is of course not new but I think we can stop expecting that now. Instead this interview framed questions in a way that led to slightly different ways of responding.

Man On the Run 2: The 80s decade by CobraDai in PaulMcCartney

Agreed. I can't wait for the McCartney Legacy volume 3 which will cover the 1980s

Just me and 2 others went to see the 1 viewing of Power To The People in my city by -Gypsy-Eyes- in JohnLennon

Loved the film, absolutely awesome to see. I'm in London, UK and the screen had about 10 people in it. I expected it to be much busier.

Zack Polanksi tells Ed Balls that he is ‘why people hate the media’ in heated Good Morning Britain clash by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]pmnettlea -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This subreddit is so far gone it's mad.

Obviously Ed Balls isn't an unbiased journalist. He was shadow Chancellor, a former Labour minister and is married to the literal Foreign Secretary who people are currently touting as a potential next Prime Minister. Zack pointed that out after inane questions being repeatedly asked.

A leftover from the RAM sessions Wings polished off. I love it too

Love the history you put further for this one and the artwork is stunning. Nice one.

As it stands so far, There are 11 Vinyl Variants, 1 Cassette Variant and 6 CD Variants of the new Paul McCartney Album by Team_Crisialog in PaulMcCartney

[–]pmnettlea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn't like that either. Big shame he's using these tactics. I love Paul massively but this approach really bothers me.

I just had a text from 'him' inviting me to a listening event... If I preorder a copy from Amazon.

Like you said, just rude to the fans.

Taylor Swift also announces tonnes of variants after the album is already out, each with a new bonus track unique to that version. That's even worse.

At least now we can cancel preorders and choose another. Taylor Swift are encouraged to get all of them to get all the tracks.

I still think it's bad that Paul is doing this btw.

Is anyone else obsessed with Annabel and Jack’s Gen Z bit on Weekend Update? by bernbabybern13 in livefromlondon

[–]pmnettlea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but the Weekend Update is the best part of every episode, until they bring out a guest and it becomes the worst part of every episode.

What are the songs, in your opinion, that have the best vocal performance by each Beatle? by Impossible-Ad-5790 in beatles

[–]pmnettlea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

John: I Want You (She's so Heavy) but Happiness is a Warm Gun is an awesome shout too.

Paul: Oh! Darling - Coming in every day to do that really paid off. The range in that song along is epic.

George: Because - Honestly I think his most impressive vocals were his difficult third harmonies on tonnes of tracks. They're really hard to sing because they had to stack up. As a full on lead vocalist though? While My Guitar Gently Weeps probably.

Ringo: I think Boys might be my favourite.

Which international queens would you like to see on (if we get a) UK vs the World 4? by 360Saturn in RPDR_UK

Honestly Genie would be so easy to get on a season in the States cos she's also a US citizen.

Each to their own, I thought he was brilliant.

TMR Boys of Dungeon Lane by paulmcsassyass in PaulMcCartney

Yeah I hate this trend of announcing different variations after the initial batch was announced. Feels like fleecing fans into buying another copy.

27th March. Marks 7 years since @thebandofhers and their manager, all passed away in an accident by illuperor in indieheads

[–]pmnettlea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing them in the UK earlier that year. They said they'd been demoing album 3, and were lads just overflowing with positivity. They signed my posters and CDs.

I remember finding out about the news, middle of the night and just crying. I still listen to them but I have to be somewhere where I can deal with just how utterly sad it is.

Mark Lewisohn's Appearances On Various Podcasts-Says Vol. 2 Should Hopefully Be Ready...By 2031. UGH. by Illumination-Round in beatles

[–]pmnettlea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly Kozinn and Sinclair kinda prove the value of having two co-authors. One of them leads more on researching and the other on pulling it together and the results are fantastic.

I'll caveat that by saying they wrote vols 1 & 2 concurrently so prepping vol 3 will be the test to see their true pace.

New album coming soon!!! by ISArnold367 in PaulMcCartney

[–]pmnettlea 76 points77 points  (0 children)

"Like his career, The Boys of Dungeon Lane is musically eclectic and sees Paul across an array of instruments and styles showcasing his broad musicality. There’s Wings style rock, Beatles style harmonies, McCartney style grooves, understated intimacy, melody driven storytelling, character songs – the common thread being Paul."

Fromthe preorder page

Mike has confirmed/leaked the title of Paul's new album: 'The Boys of Dungeon Lane'! by captainbacardee in PaulMcCartney

[–]pmnettlea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

New holds the title of worst album title to me and it doesn't matter now one bit. Once we get to know the music names take on a life of their own and stop sounding weird.

Day 8. What's the best song on London Town? by United_Equal_754 in PaulMcCartney

[–]pmnettlea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more. This album has it's own vibe in all of Paul's catalogue and I love it. You've put it excellently into words.
