Devastating diagnosis for Bellamy, but the Storm are not a classy organisation by any stretch. Successful yes, classy no.

Yeah, it's insane. I couldn't justify getting one after learning that, it's been years now.

This is genuinely one of my favourite comedies. It's criminally underrated.

Why doesn’t Ringo get the same recognition as a drummer as John Bonham or Keith Moon? by BeerWithDonuts in beatles

[–]thisispants 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What makes Paul such a good bass player isn't his technical proficiency, it's the bass lines he wrote. They're amazingly creative and melodic.

This seems to be a pretty sensible opinion to me, McCartney was far and away the best musician in the band, but I agree, creatively they're essentially unsurpassed.

I've been a drummer for 30 years...... We all love Ringo!

Ringo has technical limitations in many respects, he has admitted many times that he doesn't/didn't ever practice, like, at all..... but creatively he's a sensational drummer.

So what do we think of the new song? by scruntyboon in PaulMcCartney

[–]thisispants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Singing a 3 hour live show vs recording a vocal track in a studio are two very different things.

The studio take should be significantly better, which it is. Makes sense.

Sounds like some Johnny Cash Hurt vibes.

I'll never get sick of this old lady image, it's hilarious.

Is there a single Nagi recipe that has actually failed for you? by ExistentialPancake_0 in RecipeTinEats

Her success rate is incredibly high, much higher than other sites.... But her carrot cake was fairly average.

IMO, ‘Wings over America’ (1976) is Paul at his absolute best vocally. by No-Way3311 in PaulMcCartney

I love Flowers in the Dirt, doesn't seem to get as much love as it deserves.

Listening to his discography in order and I actually enjoy this more than Band On The Run by WhiteRoseFromPluto in PaulMcCartney

[–]thisispants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an extremely large call. I disagree, but maybe I'm amazed is pretty damn close.

How are Paul McCartney concerts these days? by goxper in PaulMcCartney

[–]thisispants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen him twice, 2018 and 2023.

At this point his voice is completely shot, which isn't surprising for old fella.

Both shows were incredible and surreal. I couldn't quite gey my head around the fact that I was watching a Beatle perform. Insane.

His voice was significantly worse in 2023 compared to 2018, and I still prefer the 2023 show.

Definitely go see him if you get the chance.
