Just a heads up that one of the Maccas will be on The Colbert Report on Comedy Central tonight at 11:30 PM Eastern. Should be an interesting setting.

Pretty good... FAUL was rather flummoxed at the lack of fawning adoration throughout the bulk of the interview.
It seemed to my relatively untrained ear that Stephen has had more successful vocal training than FAUL.
It's a shame Stephen didn't nail him about Paul being dead, though... he nailed Buzz Aldrin on the phony moon landing thing a while back, IIRC.

It was hilarious, Colbert at his best. Might surprise some, but I think SP liked this interview, as he didn't have to admonish the interviewer about talking about his "private life" for once. My favorite: "Why did it take 13 days to record, I can listen in 40 minutes?"

I know that this is my pet theory, and that it might be getting annoying that I keep bringing it up, but please bear with me I'm not 100% certain what exactly I'm proposing here, but I want to point out that Macca's Jawline/chin last night is very similar to Denny Laine's these days.  Here's a relatively recent still of Denny performing Mull Of Kintyre:  Keep in mind that there's not much footage of Denny these days, especially this close up, and that this is the bast angle I could get. Also keep in mind that Laine sounds and AWFUL lot like Paul/Bill, and as I've noted elsewhere, the Moody Blues were signed by Epstein in 1966, and that he QUIT in late '66, just in time for him to have played a part in our obsession. Further, he's the only one (other than Linda) to have been a member of Wings from start to finish. Listen to this version of Mull Of Kintyre without looking at the screen, and I submit that it's really tough to tell that it's not Paul/Bill. |

Yeah, they scattered the afterbirth"  Hmmm. P(D)enny La(i)ne is pro babl y also one of "them"!  |

Aha! Switched out AGAIN! They just keep updating the model. Can't they leave well enough alone? How many Fauls will they go through before they finally settle on one? Do they keep retiring? This could go on forever. The public figure Sir Paul could reach 137 years of age, if anybody bothers to do the math, you know, 1942 (or was it 3?)---they can keep changing the historic birth years to confuse the issue, and have "Sir Paul" #27 out there, releasing albums and doing interviews even long after Beatles fans like me have perished. Good gracious, Gertrude. Beatles across the centuries.Self-replicating, renewing, ever releasing hits on coffee cups and dust size data chips. You'll need an iPhone to view the cover art, cause it'll be so microscopically small. And Sir Paul will perform as a Hologram from Scotland while his band plays via Maclink from LA and the show is seen in a sea shell in the Orkneys. They can digitally generate a 60 year old John Lennon, overdubbed by Julian, playing songs assembled by a new Mac music program called "WritaBeatleSong" using an algorhythm devised by Steve Jobs with Sir George Martin and Yoko nearby in a chair, using a Ouija board and tarot cards. A Brave New World. The Beatles never really die, and new Beatle music and "live" concerts go on for centuries. Well, I don't really mind that part of it. |

No, Michelle, it does not look like Denny Laine; not even a little bit. And inspite of P(D)enny La(i)ne's determination to annoy the hell out of me with his nonsense thesis that Denny has passed himself off as Faul, I have yet to see any evidence at all to pursuade me that this has ever happened, even once. It is true that in the lower ranges, Denny's voice sounds like Faul's, but it absolutely does not in the higher ranges. I have heard Denny Laine from his early days singing "Go Now" with The Moody Blues, to as recently as two years ago when I heard him singing LIVE at Hippiefest. He was standing right in front of me; I know whereof I speak! And I am not deaf! Denny has a raspy voice in the higher ranges, and it does not sound like Faul. And (stating the obvious) he was, after all, a fellow band member with Faul in Wings; so I hope michelle, (and P(D)enny), that you will refrain from posting this garbage in the future.  I can agree that Denny's voice may have been used for "Paul's" in some recordings, in certain places, though I have no evidence, but as far as performing as Faul in a public venue: NEVER! |

My theory with Denny was twofold, that his voice in concert (and in studio, but not as important) blended in such that the end result was a good Paul approximation, and two, he of course was "in the loop" and therefore could be trusted.
So yes, he is a whole and separate person from the McCartney he performed with all those years ago. (but I doubt anyone states otherwise just to annoy you LB)

Back on topic... Did any of yall notice during the closing montage that Colbert put one of his WRISTSTRONG(*) bracelets on McCartney? This accomplished one of Colbert's most sought after goals, because he always tells people who buy one of his WRISTSTRONG bracelets to give it to anyone they meet who is famous than they are. FAUL is the most famous person in the world, and Colbert got a bracelet on him.... that campaign is pretty much complete...(**)
(* Colbert's campaign to raise awareness of violence against wrists.)
(** Except that Obama is officially a bigger world celebrity than the BEATLES now...)

I can agree that Denny's voice may have been used for "Paul's" in some recordings, in certain places, though I have no evidence, but as far as performing as Faul in a public venue: NEVER! My goodness, B. So grumpy this morning. My "thesis" began with the caveat that "I'm not 100% certain what exactly I'm proposing here, but I want to point out that Macca's Jawline/chin last night is very similar to Denny Laine's these days." I guess I should have clearly stated that I was NOT proposing that Laine has appeared AS Paul, because I do NOT think that. In fact, when I saw Michelle's post suggesting that Denny was posing as Bill singing YESTERDAY in 1976, I was going to point out that Denny was probably on the other side of the stage tuning his guitar, what with his BEING IN WINGS and all... This whole thing is a riddle wrapped in an enigma, eaten by a cloned fish that's become fossilized, locked in a derelict refrigerator, hidden at the bottom of the sea, brought to the surface by Oannes, and planted under a palm tree on some uncharted Greek island. In addition, we've got Nazis, and Zodiac Killers, and Solar deities, and the KKK. Not to mention Crowley and Lucifer. Now, I'm not bringing all of that up because I think it's crazy. I'm mentioning all of that to show that my photo comparison between Denny's and Bill's jawlines isn't such a terrible transgression of the board's integrity. I mean, really guys. Denny sounds A LOT like Paul/Bill. Maybe not through his entire range, but enough so that it's not ridiculous to show a Jawline comparison on a forum where we seriously discuss the possibility that Bill is a CLONE. Anyway, I hope this doesn't come off as bitchy, because that's not how it's intended. I have the utmost respct for you, B.  |

Letter B you seem to be a 'pro' while I'm amateur. I never seen Danny or Faul or Paul live. They could be just frigging twins in the world of pictures. What I do know is Faul can't sing 'yesterday'. I made a mistake of buying it from ITunes about a year ago. It's pathetic. I bet to differ: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTIuvuD65b0He did write the song, after all. |

Well, see, to me now it's sounding just like James Paul did, four hundred and sixty two years ago. OK I exaggerate---but it does sound like James Paul did in 1965--and totally without resorting to audio enhancements, live EQ tricks or post production overdubs. That is Sir Paul, sounding like James Paul, a bit older agreed, but he's into the phrasing and so forth. And in F major, the key of the original recording. Good job. I still crack everytime I sing it at "man I used to be" and on "shadow" and I've practiced it 462 times at least. I may give up my attempts at singing it. Or squonking through it. All the dogs in my neighborhood start barking when I give it a go. My new apartment lease has a "no yesterday" clause at the bottom in small print. I tell you it don't come easy. |

No doubt true, because everyone is moving out. There is one building with one tenant in it. 7 empty units. I must be louder than I thought. I mean, I sang in the shower until the ceiling collapsed! Twice! I was away both times. Must have been something residual. I can't keep champaign glasses around. |
