I thought I might as well upload the video that IAAP requested Tafultong remove. Yes, THAT video. The one that people have pestered him to re-upload for so very long. As for me, I see no reason to keep it from anyone and unless Phoney asks me to take it down, it's staying right where it is. Who is that at 2:05? The implication is that it is a rare photo of Paul/Faul, but...

By the way, I noticed that YouTube cut off a millisecond or so of the video, so it may be hard for those of you want to see what I'm talking about to pause at the intended moment. Therefore I took the liberty of taking a snapshot of it and tidying the image up a bit (hopefully I didn't make it worse!): If anyone can prove that this isn't Sylvester Stallone, I'd be very thankful. I have looked high and low for a photo of Paul with fat lips and a fat nose as shown here. Not to mention the very Stallone-style hairdo.

now the question is: what is in that video? why did iaap want it down? Well my current crackpot theory is that the superstone referenced in the video's original title (a lie adds up - superstone) is Stallone, or All Stone, as the name can be conveniently anagramed. But that's just my insane theory of the moment. I'm still looking for the source of the photo, and whether it's Paul or Sylvester.

It's from Stallone's porn film. movies.yahoo.com/movie/1802815594/infoOddly enough, my first reaction to that still of Stallone was that I thought it looked a bit like Syd Barrett. After a few seconds though, the Italian Stallion clicked into my mind, and it turned out that it's actually from that Stallone porno. Back to the Syd connection for a second... Pink Floyd have been pretty up front about the fact that "WISH YOU WERE HERE" (Shine On You Crazy Diamond, in particular) was about Syd. I've always thought that the guy on the LEFT of this photo looks A LOT like Sylvester Stallone. Looking at it now, I STILL think it looks A LOT like Sylvester Stallone. But what does this all mean? ?

Finally, someone agrees with me that it's Sly and not Paul! Now about the Wish You Were Here cover....I haven't had a close look at it, but from the picture you posted I'd say both men look like Sylvester Stallone. But why is the one on the right burning? I've never listened to that particular Pink Floyd album before, so maybe you could some light on this for me. What could Sylvester Stallone have to do Pink Floyd, or PID for that matter? Any ideas?

So why did Iamaphoney add a photo of Stallone from 1970 to one of his videos? Could it be that "superstone" is somehow a reference to Sylvester Stallone (but that wouldn't explain the phrase "the superstone is in egypt")?
Whatever the reason for the Stallone photo, I'm positive now that it is the reason that Iamaphoney asked Tafultong to remove the video in the first place. He implied that there was something in the video that shouldn't be there, and indeed there is. Perhaps the Sylvester Stallone photo was intended for another video on another date at another time. You can never be sure with Iamaphoney.

Jude wrote: "If anyone can prove that this isn't Sylvester Stallone, I'd be very thankful."I can't see the image of "Paul" in that image well enough to comment, but I have alwaysfelt that the "Paul" in the picture that GN calls "the last picture of Paul McCartney", which has been posted here, and which shows The Beatles, with George and John in dark clothing, while Paul and Ringo are wearing light blue jackets, has "Paul" looking very much like Stallone. I will post the picture if I can find it. update:<---- Two flying; two not.(Thank you Sir Larry Mildew at Tafultong's Iamaphoney blog!)

I think that is what Jude is suspecting.

I think the image is supposed to convey the idea of making a deal with the devil. They seem to be in the lot of a movie making company, as one would find in Hollywood. A lot has been hinted at that the post-1966 Beatles were tied to Disney somehow. In any case, the idea is "selling out" or, as the Byrds once put it:
"Sell your soul to the company Who are waiting there To sell plastic ware"
Selling your soul to the record company/ to the 'devil', etc.

And when the Beatles tell you They've got a word "love" to sell you They mean exactly what they saythefullpint.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/original_were_only_in_it_for_the_money_front_cover.jpg

The implication is that it is a rare photo of Paul/Faul, but... Is that Stallone? That is a clear picture of Stallone, kinda resembles the pale/washed out with red lips Michael Jackson look. The transparent image at the end of the Superstone clip is very hard to discern, I wouldn't venture a guess of certainty. It could be anyone who resembles Stallone/Macca. I agree with Tafultong about holding off conclusive guesses. Also, I do think there was another 'Superstone' video that differed slightly from this one, but I could be wrong. There are a couple of mirror image pictures (from anthology) in the video and there seems to be a picture of a dorsal view of a cerebrum.

Iameye:
If I can read that tiny little print, you said that no one mentioned Egypt. But Jude posted this above:
"So why did Iamaphoney add a photo of Stallone from 1970 to one of his videos? Could it be that "superstone" is somehow a reference to Sylvester Stallone (but that wouldn't explain the phrase "the superstone is in egypt")?"
So, I was wondering if this is something IAAP told someone as an aside, or if it was in one of the videos and I just don't remember it?
Thanks

The memory is a little foggy, but I think I can help clarify this. As the legend around Superstone was being fueled (much to my dismay!) one of the members of the grandfatheraleister crew made a video with the title "Superstone." It had no similarity to Iamaphoney's "Superstone." That other "Superstone" video had a clip from "The Holy Mountain," which was directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky, the same person who made the Lennon-funded movie "El Topo." All of Jodorowsky's movies use a mixed bag of religious imagery along with dead people, dead animals and the obligatory male castration scene. I'm sure there is some Egyptian stuff in there as well. I don't think Lennon had anything to do with "The Holy Mountain," but Allen Klein's company Abkco did.

If the re-encoding process of youtube stripped off the last few frames of the video, why don't you just put a binary copy on a site that won't re-encode it? (ie, megaupload.com). One post saying its from an old Stallone porn flick isn't enough for me. Forgive me, I don't watch early Stallone porn. I would really like those last couple frames. Upload an original copy somewhere instead of re-encoding it. (Or it could be just awfully convenient that the frames in question are "lost")
