- Paul McCartney reveals his complicated and heartbreaking relationship with John Lennon after the Beatles breakup. John Lennon and Paul McCartney are considered the greatest songwriting partnership of all time. As of 2004 they sold over 600 million records worldwide making them the most successful to date. Yet the events leading up to the breakup, the legal matters to dissolve the Beatles, and the public nastiness after the breakup created a rift between the duo that seemed irreparable. So after all the dust settled, how did their relationship end before John’s untimely death in 1980?

Even today I shed a tear for John :>(
We missed you badly John,,,
The Beatles were at a loss after their manager, Brian Epstein died in August of 1967. I believe he left a power void that Klein and John tried to fill. I am impressed that Paul rose above the comments in "How do you Sleep", and later be the first to reach out to rekindle his friendship with John. The beautiful part is that they became buddies again, talking about baking bread. Love and respect to both Paul and John.
Paul wrote “Dear Friend” in response to “How Do You Sleep” on his “Wildlife” album. it wasn’t even nasty:
Dear friend, what's the time?
Is this really the borderline?
Does it really mean so much to you?
Are you afraid, or is it true?
Dear friend, throw the wine
I'm in love with a friend of mine
Really truly, young and newly wed
Are you a fool, or is it true?
Are you afraid, or is it true?
Dear friend, what's the time?
Is this really the borderline?
Does it really mean so much to you?
Paul took over the band after Brian, not Lennon
I agree Paul was the one that filled in even though Klein and John unseccessfully tried to.@@user-fu2mi1nd5l

Although Paul and John may have a fight, at least they patch things up at the end. Rest in peace John Lennon 🙏 🕊️
Couples fight. Friends fight. Just life.
Still break me up, 44 years later.
That bit at the end... rehearsing Strawberry Fields... Lennon plays a little guitar line which is perfect for the song.... He never gets the credit for his guitar playing that he should.. the guy was pro pure and simple.
Yeah, I really love that little guitar part, perfect ending.
I agree with you 1000% percent. There are tens of thousands of people who are more skilled with a guitar than John was. But not a single one of them has come up with the riffs that John came up with. If he could only play well enough to play the stuff he wrote--if that were true--John is still great with a guitar. Like Clapton might be more skilled, but
Clapton hasn't come up with anything near what John came up with. I don't think we would ever have had any questions about John's guitar playing if he had not brought it up. Anybody would answer this question the same way: Had you rather play like Clapton or play like John and come up with stuff like John came up with?- The purpose of a guitar is not to show off with it. One last thing: John was not a lousy player. Ringo's skill with drums is more questionable than John with a guitar. I don't think Ringo's skills are a matter to question. George is not Ginger Baker and John is not Eric Clapton, but what both did is 10x what Ginger Baker and Eric Clapton did.
@@cowdaddy4595 Great comment!! ; ]
I think Paul was saying something to John with the song, and John was saying something back with the guitar, and Yoko could not get between them and interfere
As some have already noted, Ram was not Paul's first album. It preceded Imagine and John even included a photo with that record of him holding the ears of a pig in a mocking fashion to Paul's Ram album cover. John was pissed over Too Many People so he struck back with How do you Sleep. The thing is, later, in typical John-under-the-influence-of-the-woman-whose-name-shall-not-be-uttered-here fashion, he said looking back on it he was really writing about himself. I say he got that take from his woman because it is the type of narcissistic comment she would come up with. It's sad that they had such a rough time of it after the breakup but at least May got the two of them talking again. I am convinced John and Paul would have done something in the 80s had John not been killed. Cynthia and John's sister Julia both have alluded to John being fed up with that other woman and her heroin addiction and sleeping around and that he was going to tell her to take a hike once and for all. Yeah, it might be a bit self-serving, but hey, a guy can dream can't he. That would have been my version of a happier ending to the story.
#BILLYSHEARS.
So it was all about Joko who broke up the band..sad but it's all gone gone gone.
I really like many of Harrison's songs. While My Guitar Gently Weeps is my favorite.
Huh - 'On his first solo album Ram in 1971' - how can you make such a mistake. McCartney was his self-titled first album.
John imo treated Paul woefully. As for Klein - what a cruel nasty individual.
She should have stayed out of the studio. Her presence was troublesome
PERIOD!!!!!!!
Both of their mother's dying as teenagers, wildly famous and just in their 20s, it's hard to imagine how close they were. I read that Paul was broken with the relationship that began between John and Yoko. It's as if he watched his very best friend find another to bond and collaborate with.
Liverpool.... rough language pretty much a constant , very rough. You can see here and there in movies. Real brutal stuff omg. John and Paul were closest of friends tho, you can see that too.
They loved each other very much and people should shut the hell up okay?
Yoko got Klein involved in order to help her with the breakup of the Beatles.
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is the truth no matter what.
Its sad, it makes me sad....
She sat on their amps and ate George’s biscuits, so what do you expect ?
God, how I despise that woman! Not only for the way she caused all the tension with the Beatles, but the way she treated Julian. He had to sue her to get a tiny bit of John's fortune when he was killed. If I remember correctly, she didn't even want him at John's funeral! I don't care if she hated his guts, that was his FATHER who was murdered! She is a psychopath IMO.
The problem was John loved loved loved Yoko and she had him convinced she was a musician. In a sense, she was. She was a terrible musician. They called it avant garde, but it was actually indigestible and even annoying and cringe. He couldn't hear that because he was crazy about her and he was bored with writing rock and pop music. Paul and the rest of the band were right: She had no place in the studio. So John had to go to follow his heart. And in the end, all the rumors were right. Yoko broke up The Beatles.
That was hard 😢
Too Many People is from Ram - his second solo album. McCartney was his first.
I always liked "How do you Sleep?"
Yea it’s got a nice funky feel.
It really is a great song with excellent soloing by George Harrison. :)
Paul McCartney was, and still is, a musical genius. A natural musician that can accomplish anything he puts his mind to. I think that Lennon was the wordsmith and McCartney the composer in their relationship. This is evident in the lyrics that McCartney writes for Wings; the music is great but the lyrics seem something like an afterthought that are often not convincing. Lennon, on the other hand, used lyrics to great effect and they tell a narrative on contemporary life.
Excellent piece. 👏🏼
A quote from John Lennon The dream is over. Its time to wake up and move on.
After Brian died, John said "Paul took over" That was a problem. It was John's band. I suppose John resented Paul taking over leadership of the band. I read some years ago that Yoko said It was always John's band. When Paul took over, John lost interest. I believe it was Mick Jagger that warned Paul about Klein, stay way from him. I also believe that Klein wanted 25 percent commission of the Beatles. Paul wasn't willing to give away that kind of money to Klein so he Quit.
At the end of the day, it all went down, the way it was meant to be. But, really, can you imagine if you insisted on bringing your wife to work, every day, just to hang around. How about if everyone brought their spouse to work, just to hang around, ... all day, everyday?? How about if Maureen, Patti, and Linda came to the studio everyday and just hung around all the time? It would be weird in any scenario.
Agreed
9:20. My birthday is dec 9th and I'm from new England, i was also in the brig, that was the absolute worst birthday I ever had , if I'm not m saw
istaken the Patriots also lost the game.
The Beatles even invented the dis track,damn.
Good observation lol
How Do You Sleep is a Lennon solo. And McCartney's Too Many People was a solo song as well.
George tune Not Guilty, left off White album is a dis on paul and john@@Revolver1981

What with you mentioning that Paul was brought up to be stoic, and that by his own admission and his early experience with grief and death, I now more readily understand why he made that unfortunate ‘drag’ observation to the assembled, baying and braying press pack.
Although it sounded a bit bored and casual, he just hadn’t had the chance to process the information that his best friend had been murdered, even if they had had a fraught, terse and bickering break up.
People were demanding to hear his thoughts and opinions but that hunt for the story showed a complete disregard for his privacy and took away the time and space for him to grieve in. Added to that, although I already knew who the Beatles were and a lot of their songs, I was still young and didn’t really understand death and grief myself as I was yet to become acquainted with it.
Even if Paul had a responsibility to convey something to the multitude of fans, and I know that he understood that, the media were also obliged to show some deference and courtesy but some of them failed to fulfil their end of the bargain. I think Paul realised that and I sometimes wonder if maybe the drag quote was a bit of subconscious contempt for them and their lack of empathy.
All very unnecessary…..Yoko tagging along changed the dynamic…..hardly surprising….i stand with Paul on this situation
Lennon was spellbound. I swear, Yoko is a witch, she put a spell on him.
The boys were right, there was no reason for a gf to b there
What about almost the entire Ram album being about xxxPaulxxx JOHN, not Paul. This is an edit of my original post..
I was thinking the same thing.
Ram came out first. How Do You Sleep was John's answer. Ram was a more subtle (apart from the pic of a beetle screwing another one on the album cover), but John's was more direct. No beating around the bush. What you see is what you get. Gotta respect him for that, even though you don't always agree what what he says.
"After I heard of John's death I went back to sleep"
George Harrison
no comments
I think that and George Martin’s”not a good way to start the day”were worse than Paul’s comment.
Yesterday is negative ❤
The beatles broke-up when John brought in his Japanese frog.
Nasty, nasty, nasty!
If I was Yoko I'd appreciate being called a frog as they're cute but you're a TOAD! And wrong as well.
😂😂😂😂
SORRY JOHN You dont bring your girl in the middle of friends business period
Like I said, Bro's before hoe's !
Not an excuse but people forget that John was cracked out in heroine for a good chunk of this time and not in his right mind. Yoko of course turned him on to the heroin.
You better hope yoko doesn't hear you say such a stupid libelous lie. Be careful boy.
He's right, JoJo did get John into H. Know the story@@kenbranaugh8251
Yoko did not belong on the white album! John, though a genius was also not perfect. I'm glad they did Abbey Road, much better.
Nooo!!! I never liked "How do you sleep". John Lennon wrote this song when he was feelin really bad about most things in his life. Nixon was still in charge and it was problems for John to make a life for him and Yoko in US. I think he regret the song. But he was only human. And so is Paul McCartney when he tells how he feel about the words. Tell me you are never bad to any one, esp. when sad and haunted. I'm so tired of all this nonses spoken on utube by people who think they know the truth.
Billy with his beard.
Like "It was a fake mustache' it was a fake beard and a wig. Cmon Billy we can see
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is the truth no matter what.
Lennon abused his children, wives, and everyone around him.
A supreme narcissist.
James Paul McCartney died on September 11, 1966. He and John Lennon were very close. Billy and Lennon didn't get along. I don't think the others did either. George said in an interview that it was a job to go to Abbey Road studio and he was tired of being FAB. MAYBE, it was because of Billy. They DID make a lot of money though, with Sgt. Pepper, Abbey Road, the White album and Let it Be. So, when they split, they were ALL extremely wealthy. Lennon said that Brian Epstein robbed them contractually ,but were devastated when HE died. Complicated? It seems the music industry is just that.
Shame Paul's father never knew he out lived his own son. You can't go back to sleep because you've been sleeping throughout life.
he knew, they all know as per Memoirs, sanctioned by Macca himself@@charlottelouise209
Where’s the proof of this claim….ive heard this Paul is Billy nonsense but never any irrefutable evidence
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is the truth no matter what.
the video is just made to get clicks
Again, with the clickbaiting. Not worth watching.
You “Paul is dead” people are nuts. 🌰 🥜

You are showing mostly Billy shears. John hated Billy for posing as JPM. Biggest scam in 50 years.
Cmon man
Coocoo for Cocoa Puffs!
@@TheDivayentabelieve what you want. I was a Beatles fan until late 68. I knew something was wrong but couldn’t figure out what. Took a while to figure out that what resemble JPM wasn’t in fact him. Just look at him even in 67. The early Beatles music was fantastic. It slipped away little by little until they ran out of JPMs backlog of songs. Shy pepper had a lot of JPMs back log songs. Then it was down from there. The arguments from asshole Billy to John and George you see partially in the crap Get Back documentary then ensued. Billy fucked the other 3. Was writing his wings songs before he trashed them. What shit music. Musicians don’t change their style so suddenly. The whole. thing was mind control bullshit. The thing that cemented it was finger print failure of the Billy in Japan with Wings. Denny lane of course admitted it wasn’t JPM in Wings. Graham Nash admitted it in Public. Pink Floyd turned down Billy when he offered to join them. A man sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest. Wake up. I don’t like it. Identity theft is illegal. It’s hidden In McCartney incorporated. Their is no James Paul McCartney. Billy didn’t go to Jim McCartneys funeral. It was not his father. He didn’t attend the Beatles induction into the Hall of Fame. RIP JPM. The rest of you believe what you want.
McCartney's style didn't change much. On Revolver when John and George were drastically changing styles, McCartney kept writing his same style of songs. His playing style stayed the same too. He had a particular way of finger picking his guitar, and that hasn't changed. The fingerprint thing in Japan never happened. It's just made up. The guy that was known as Paul McCartney in 1963 is the same guy that was in the Beatles in 1969. He wrote in the same style, played all the exact same instruments in the same style, and sang in the exact same style. A person can't be replaced. Especially someone as unique and talented as Paul McCartney.
@@michaelharrington75 wrong. JPM used a richenbscker on rubber soul. The same was handed to Billy during the Get Back sessions. He didn’t know what to do with it. Also JPM never look at the fretboard while playing. Look at anything after 67. It’s no the same person Billy is 5 years older and 2 inches taller.
Paul sent anonymous letters to John and Yoko saying how ugly she was. Paul is the meanest of all the Beatles. How Do You Sleep is too kind for Paul.
If the letters were anonymous, how do you know Paul sent them?
Paul is incredibly talented, but became narcissistic. He caused George to want to leave te Beatles, as was well documented in the Get Back sessions, he drove Ringo away, and he is currently working to re-write history with so many songs John created claiming credit for works beyond his contributions. John had his faults, but it doesn't take much to see the monster Paul became in the later years of the Beatles. He missed the point John made when he sang the only thing you done was Yesterday, his F you to John highlights the narcissism that is on full display to this day. Talented, but so extremely flawed by his own demons. Had he not teamed up with Lennon, given his early work, it would never have achieved the heights that they did together. His later works, while still very good,was not to the level of the Beatles collaborations. Longevity and John's murder has given him a place where he now says all kinds of things where he is taking credit knowing John is not here to give the "rest of the story".
Absolutely agree McCartney is full of shit.
