WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
a paul mccartney thread - it was never going to end happily, was it?

No, that's not what I mean - perhaps I should say a case of lerning musical history.Dubversion said:care to expand? are you claiming that - for example - the loathing that wolfie and i share for McCartney is born out of ignorance of musical history on our part?

the addled old fart does still post in football as bertifrew. i just think he'd made such a cock out of himself on other forums he kept away.
Who is this 'bb' twat? Krs seems to have worked him out but I can't ... yet ...

Oh, McCartney?
Saw his first few tunes at Glasto 2004, out of curiosity, but I don't myself like him or his old songs** any more, not enough to linger and see the whole thing anyway.
**(ie the Beatles ones, I was once a fan a long time ago, but sensibly got into a lot more interesting stuff)
And I have a near-overwhelming dislike verging on hatred of pretty much all his solo work, very few exceptions. Haven't heard the new album and probably won't, but I'd be surprised if it was all that much better than the nadir ...
In other words, I'm not a pathological kneejerk hater, but I'm very far from a fan either.

Not just me -- see above posts.
This is about MACCAA.
Fair enough ...
Didn't grab me enough to make me want to linger (I had other performances to get along to
), but I'll take your word for it that he put in a good set ... if you're more of a fan than I am that is ...
Just a difference of opinion
I wanted to give him a chance, but the experience (saw the first 5 songs btw) confirmed that I really wasn't that interested any more, not even in the old time classics.
I'd rather have seen Bowie in 2000, a performance that I very stupidly missed
at self ...

Bowie's usually rubbish live - Macca was much better.

At Glasto 2000? I'm emphatically told not, by lots who were there ...

Fairly certain it was 2000 .....
Scandalous - how quickly you forget the Glass Spider tour. A masterpiece, a wonderous theatrical spectacle, and not merely some coked-up old tool rinsing the sour dregs of his depleted talent to a bunch of masochistic hero worshipping suckers. No, indeed.Major Tom said:

no i mean generally.
Bowie fans tend to be a bit fussier. I've seen him a few times, and he varies from ok to terrible.
I reckon it was the festival factor - all that cider, drugs and fresh air - made people think he was better than he actually was.

This thread makes me laugh. I think the best thing about the Beatles is how easily wound up their fans are.
