It's perfectly reasonable for him to be "subpar" as he's not actually an interviewer funnily enough. He's the wildly talented frontman and guitarist of Manic Street Preachers who's sold nearly 25 million records worldwide. He's also a lovely bloke. He uses those sorts of nicknames as a term of endearment, he does it a lot, I can assure you he was not referring to any connotations that name might have.
Old Music Is Better people refer to him as 'bradders' its a nick name, often a term of endearment, like 'jacko' was, kindly calm yourself, no one is having a pop at mr jackson
so happy that paul had corrected the interview. tss 'jacko'... paul is amazing for doing that. I saw him live this year and it was great, hopefully he'll continue blessing us with his music ^^
Michael did a very snakey move against Paul. Sure he did pay to buy those Beatle songs, but he was given advice and tips from a guy who was in the music business longer than he was and used that information against him. Paul has every right to be angry and call him Jacko.
Two legends! Met JDB in a pub in Bristol after a brilliant gig, such a nice and down to earth fella. Saw Paul in Kiev in 2008, when the gig was almost cancelled due to heavy raining, he got on the stage risking his life and did a 3 hour set! We should be happy such people are still alive, never gonna happen with today's "stars"! And btw no respect to MJ after the copyright scandal, though his early Motown stuff is really great.
+Dominika Kardasz Don't take things too seriously... Jackson is basically and historicaly a scottish surname so if you really want to take things seriously Jackson is not realy an original black or "african" surname
just in case people are wondering who is calling jackson "jacko", the interviewer is james dean bradfield, the frontman of the manic street preachers. they are renowned internationally, they've even played cuba. james has an amazing vocal range, and real chops on the guitar. if you're ignorant of the man, that doesn't make him unworthy to call jackson "jacko". btw, if you play the original gran turismo and hear the intro, the "everything must go" song that plays is james dean bradfield's band playing - a remix of their single from their 1996 album of the same name. try listening to the likes of "she is suffering", "judge y'rself" or "nobody loved you" and judge james' abilities as a vocal artist. they're considerable.
The 'Interviewer' is not an interviewer, he is James Dean Bradfield, singer and guitar player for the Manic Street Preachers - he generally comes across as being quite awkward when interviewed himself, so can you imagine how he felt interviewing Paul McCartney? Cut him some slack, plus Paul died in 1966.
To those talking about how their voices are not that similar. They are talking about certain moments when they are singing in unison. Paul actually has a little bit greater vocal range than Michael, but Michael hits higher notes. Paul still hits very high notes and very low notes. Of course they have different accents and different voices, but he was speaking of singing high notes and moments of singing in unison. Their voices compliment one another so nicely. They sound great together in the three songs they did together.
i dont know how each voices sound to your ears, it's subjective and we all have personal choices towards music, however, on a technical level, i think both of them shared a 5 full octaves range, but paul can sing a deep baritone that mj couldnt, while mj can sing much higher notes that paul cannot, i love both voices personally, i think mj is a little more skilled on singing, while paul is better as a songwriter (yeah, both are serious songwriters and singers, i just thought that paul is better at writting songs than mj and vice versa)
OH, relax - certain spots when they are singing in unison. Paul has a huge vocal range and hits some high notes. He also sings very low parts in the girl is mine. These two complimented one another greatly. They sound great together. Appreciate it.
Even though I prefer 'The Girl Is Mine' and I'm not really a fan of the new remix of 'Say Say Say', I love that these two amazingly talented artists got to work together at least twice. Now if only John Lennon and Kurt Cobain had had the same chance...
This comment section is so hilarous. Literally most of the comments are only there to defend MJ because of the fact that James Dean Bradfield called MJ "Jacko", others simply because they adore Paul. Maybe JDB, just like anyone else, was also reading the newspapers around that time about MJ with the name "Jacko" on it and thought that it is cool to say it that way. Being myself a JDB fan and also his band Manic Street Preachers, I honestly think he is not a MJ fan (and that's why he named him that way IMO and didn't know that MJ didn't like it) but entirely respect him and his music. And just so you know, JDB (the "interviewer") is a guitar genious, a great musician and a great human being. HE IS NOT AN INTERVIEWER LOL. And finally, talking about Paul, he also had his things with MJ, as far as I know.
Michael Jackson fans are not annoying at all 👀 Anyway it's nice to see Paul interviewed by a fellow musician, who respects and understands what he was doing on Pipes of Peace. You can tell JDB couldn't quite believe he was actually talking to Paul McCartney lol
Ringo is my fave beatle while Michael Jackson is my fave singer. I wish they had pictures together because I've never really seen one photo of them together. o.O
Paul doesn't say much, I believe and to me, they had of course, beautiful voices, but not "so similar" as they claim. Also, they seem to forget the collaboration on Jackson's "The Girl Is Mine".
This was interesting ,I wish that when famous song writes get together they would film them to see how they bounce idea's around see the process of it . Love that album and videos they all seamed to be having a great time working together
*As the story goes, Paul McCartney made a big mistake sharing his investing advice with Jackson. After he told his two-time duet partner how much money could be made by buying the publishing rights to hit songs, the “King of Pop” turned around and bought the company that owned most of the Fab Four’s catalog. “I think it’s dodgy to do things like that,” was McCartney’s surprisingly measured response, “to be someone’s friend and then buy the rug they’re standing on.”*
MusicManStingray1989 Dude saying what you said clearly makes you as insane as the original poster. I see how you didn't bring up a valid point...you just said I was unstable. Lame.
+KillaCommieFerMommie Being a BIG fan of both, I can say this pretty unbiased. I think what MJ did was not a very nice thing to do, but he took the chance like a businessman. Paul should have found the money to buy them. Heck, he's Paul McCartney! Though, if I had been in MJs position, I'd have sold Paul -at least- half the rights...
***** In case you didn't notice.... what was said about Jackson was in QUOTES.... Because PAUL said it.... not me.... Don't like it?.... Take it up with McCartney.
+May Been I'm almost positive Chuck Berry owns all rights to his songs. Macca did, however, buy the Buddy Holly catalog. Considering The Beatles were named after Buddy Holly and the Crickets, that only makes sense to me that he would do that.
For the record, James Dean Bradfield is not an interviewer, he is a brilliant singer, songwriter and guitar player in the Manic Street Preachers, is humble, intelligent and generally has that warm kind Welsh demeanour about him. Sorry him calling Michael Jackson 'jacko', as he was referred to occasionally in the UK, hurt your stuck-up pretentious arseholes.
Referring to Michael as Jacko or Jackal is rude and disrespectful and Michael does not deserve that kind of reference. Michael was always a gentleman who was well mannered and polite to everyone. He treated others with respect and he deserves the same respect for himself. He has spoken about this publicly saying that it hurts him when he is called Jacko, and that he doesn't like his children to hear him referred to that way. Fans of Michael are offended by such references too. I could tell that Paul disapproved of JDB using that word Jacko and he politely corrected him by saying Michael. Please show some respect.
Even though he was super talented and funny guy, he shouldn't called Michael that name. He hated it. It's disrespectful. He can call him MJ or even Mike but not Jacko.
Fuck it if he was talented. Michael Jackson himself said he hated when people called him that. Only nasty tabloids call him that. It's Jacko is Jackson (MJ said that in a interview). It's about respecting his name, just like Paul did. That name suggest he was weird and bizarre, and very racist.
When Paul approached Yoko about paying half the cost, she said she would try to negotiate the price down. She ended up causing the price to go up because she's such a bad negotiator. Paul then refused to pay the full cost out of principal because he didn't think it should be so high. That's when Michael came in and purchased the catalogue out right.
Sean Morris lyrics written by Nicky and Richey in their early twenties. They've had changed their mind since, even Richey before his disappearance stated how he loved the Beatles and was listening to "Nowhere man" on the tour bus.
more in a political sense but not actually the real person nor lennon's death. I can understand it in a way as some of my friends also discusse the politic shifts or things like that in the beatles's years and some may have stinging opinions :)
He may be something, the problem is he doesn't stop interrupting Paul and called Michael "Jacko", a racist nickname the british gave him (Paul even had to correct him). If he's a legend that's okay, but doesn't give him the right to say what he wants.
@@Revolver1981 no, seriously the name Jacko came from a monkey's scientific name called Macacco Jacco. This is what I saw and several people from the fandom already warned about that.
I think none of this would have happened if John was still alive. John would have probably bought the rights to the Beatles songs. Paul was way ahead of Jackson in other ways, because Mike was a recluse, whereas Paul was social and made friends in many fields.
Ok,I'm just hoping that someone who knows the answer or someone who is close enough to Paul to ask him this question is reading this. Ok question:In the strawberry fields forever video when Paul jumps from the tree,did he really jump from that height or did he hang and drop? Because there's a cut that only shows the drop from just below the branch. And we see him on the branch. Because if he made that complete jump then its very impressive,but if its a hang and drop job with an edit its still impressive but not as much. PEACE ✌ and LOVE
Pure logic is the answer to your question, dude 😂 No human being, even the musical god that is Paul McCartney, can simply crouch down and jump that high in the air.
Miguel Moreno I think you miss understand the question. I'm talking about the jump FROM the branch,not a jump TO the branch from the ground. Because if you've seen the video where he's jumping fro the ground on to the branch then your seeing it in reverse. The scene was filmed with him already on the branch,and then we see him drop. I know that its impossible for somebody to jump onto the branch from the ground.
+Miguel Moreno do you get me now? It was filmed with Paul starting on the branch and then jumping or hanging and dropping from the branch and then it's seen in reverse to make it look like he's jumping from the ground on to the branch. So I was asking if he jumped off branch onto ground or if he hung from the branch by his hands so his feet were closer to the ground and then dropped
+Adam . I'm just glad someone understood my question. Because someone else thought I was asking if Paul jumped FROM the ground onto the tree branch in one go lol. Obviously he's seen it in reverse and thought I thought Paul jumped FROM ground onto the branch in one crouch and jump and was going on like I was an idiot. But yes,I thought Paul had been standing on the branch and then the stopped the camera and just filmed him hanging from the branch and dropping . And just made it look like he was jumping the full height down to the ground. Lol. So complicated to explain. Well only idiots wouldn't understand. I'm glad you did. Thanks. Are you a Beatles fan?
All the pricks on here getting up in arms at JDB for referring to Michael Jackson as 'Jacko'. These are clearly people who know nothing about music if they haven't even heard of the Manics. Hands down one of the best and most important bands of all time. James can say what he wants.
Shadow Palace Well not knowing how the word "jacko" has a racist undertone he doesn't sound too intelligent. Let's not take into account how MJ hated this tabloid made nick.
Most interviewers are not empathic people, they're narcissists that get paid to be gossipy trolls. "Jacko" is not only a lack of respect, it's downright petty and childish. Paul has and always been a good man, that's why he said "Michael" like that.
+1980Triumph I love how Paul asks if he's referring to Michael. It's humbling hearing Paul speak about Michael now, considering he could easily have some lasting bitterness since the buyout.
WOWW people are so PC these days Jesus Christ. James Dean Bradfield, the "interviewer" is a Welsh musician, who plays guitar and sings for Manic Street Preachers. He knows his stuff when it comes to music so let him ask what he wants. Also, that whole "jacko" thing, British people tend to shorten names a lot, for example, James' bandmate is called Nicky and James calls him Nick. It's not an offensive thing to do. People get so butthurt.
absolutely right, it,s common in wales to have nicknames at different times ive had evdog, pws, nobby, and nelly, and people ive grown up with have, spew, deet, snakey, pig, the list goes on , its not insulting just a term of endearment, your irish or could be American (butthurt) lol, but I'm sure its not unique to wales, people need to chill out.
Neil Evans my point exactly, thank you! And you're correct I'm Irish but I used 'butthurt' to speak the language of all the sensitive Americans in the comments
ArtIsLife02 exactly so there's no reason for people to be calling him offensive names when he didn't mean anything by it as I've stated multiple times before nice to see a reasonable fan
two great musicians, would love to be a fly on the wall when the camera stopped rolling and they talked by themselves, "macca" shit did I offend anyone then? down to earth man fair play.
The best thing about this interview are the ridiculous comments underneath. Out of all the things in the history of time, one half-second abbreviation of someone's surname has really really upset people! He abbreviated a name, of *course* he must be a terrible human being. James Dean Bradfield tends to give people throwaway nicknames when he talks about them, that's just his jokey way of talking. He's clearly not trying to disrespect MJ here, he actually seems quite admiring (even though he has perfect reason not to be). But there's no point trying to convince you lot, Jackson fans tend to be in denial of the most obvious facts. Just thought I'd try to put a minute in to defend someone who I know to be a stand-up guy and great talent (the fact that you guys haven't even heard of him suggests quite a limited music knowledge, anyway...)
i agree with you but you can also see how paul himself is a little uncomfortable because when james says "jacko" paul correct him saying "michael" so it was a little awkward
Mila Ash You must be incredibly naive if you think that he is giving Michael Jackson an affectionate nickname. It is and was widely used in the press as a derogatory name. No one who knew the man would use it (hence Paul's awkward correction). Does it mean he is a terrible human being? No. But it is disrespectful and that is a fact that *you* are in denial about. It's just bizzare to not refer to someone by their actual name, particularly when 1) The name is something Jackson found insulting and 2) He didn't even know the Jackson. I would not like it. Paul didn't seem to like it. What's the big deal? I have never in my life been in denial about a fact, I'm a fucking scientist. However what you think is an "obvious fact" may be (unbeknownst to you) untrue, especially when it concerns Michael Jackson. I like the truth and *will* correct those that spread false facts.
I like the comments here, mainly by Americans and Jackson fans, who don't know much about the British music scene, James Dean Bradfield or the Manic Street Preachers and refer to him as a "subpar "interviewer". He is not an interviewer he is an accomplished musician, together with Mccartney one of my favorites, and who cares if it's Jacko, Wacko, Jackson, Michael, King of this king of that...
Paul McCartney. This guy is James Dean Bradfield, lead singer of the massive successful rock group Manic Street Preachers who have supported Paul in concert. Paul asked for him personally because he new James was a genuine fan of the album Pipes of Peace. Which is what they were there to talk about.
Misconception led by cultural difference then. I like three of them, especially MJ when I was in middle school and MSP now. I think it's quiet reasonable for MJ fans to feel offended because JDB called him Jacko. Just solve the misunderstanding and that's all. No way could JDB said that in a racist way referring to MSP's political opinions. Also, the point is to clear this up, not saying JDB is talented in his rights so he could say anything, is that too difficult for some of you to understand? This is the real bizarre thing. What's more, a band or musician's accomplishment is undoubtedly not really related with the business achievements isn't it? An example which may not so serious, Karl Marx may not that popular in today's commercial colleges and the mainstream economics but it doesn't mean Marxist political economy is any secondary okay? Fair enough for your meaningless disputes.
+lirfrank It's not 'an interviewer' it's bloody James Dean Bradfield, one of the best songwriters and vocalists and guitarists of all time, it's *meant* to be more like a conversation between them.
Stuart Rook I must admit that I didn't know about this artist and sorry if that offended you but still, Paul had so much to say and he just couldn't, oh well, he shares a lot on Michael on the McCartney Years.
I think James Dean Bradfield is clearly nervous here to be speaking to someone so famous and who he would have been listening to his whole life. People tend to accidentally talk over people when they're nervous and excited.
Joseph Preston You know your comment says more about you than MJ. If you don't like his music, fine. Honestly, who cares? But coming up w/ false allegations and the results of his very serious health problems (2 autoimmune diseases and a 3rd degree burn) makes you look a total ass.
I love that moment when interviewer said "Jacko" and Paul corrected him and said "Michael" 💖
@Ciaran Moran213 in this case he interviews Macca. So he's an interviewer.
How do you not know who james dean bradfield is
The interviewer is James Dean Bradfield. The lead singer and guitarist from the Welsh rock band the manic street preachers.
Paul always loved Michael even after when the catalog thing happened
Michael Jackson's over but Sir Paul McCartney still on it was fabulous, marvelous in his lifetime
What an honor, getting to talk with James Dean Bradfield!!! 😻😻😻
I love when subpar "interviewer" refers to Michael as, "Jacko". Paul pauses briefly and corrects him by saying Michael. Pure class!

Richárd Kovács he didn’t correct them, he was just confirming he was talking about Michael
@@TheAstronomyFloyd No, he corrected him.
Two of my favourite artists.... amazing!
*Three for me*
That "jacko" is the firm proof of Michael having been tortured by media all those years, and for the righteousness of Michael's battle against them.
so happy that paul had corrected the interview. tss 'jacko'...
paul is amazing for doing that. I saw him live this year and it was great, hopefully he'll continue blessing us with his music ^^
I saw Sir Paul Live just last week. He's phenomenal
Paul is a very interesting man, i always like when he talks about everything.Amazing person.

hey I saw ur hofner and I just got my ignition series I love ur channel
τthank you very much and Merry Christmas :)Brycenator20 Plays!

they made another song called "The Man"
A legend interviewing a legend about a legend. Amazing.
I wouldn’t call Bradfield a legend, sorry.
well that's pretty American way to say this
ok, well i can differentiate whoms voice I hear
maybe because of studying Michael Jackson for years!
what a legend, what a talent,....and yes there is also sir paul mc cartney
Hey hey I see the new album as your profile pic! So excited!
It's not Jacko, it's Jackson.
+Mikes PYT Of course with a photo like yours... looks like a ghost , right ?

its not jacko its pedo
It's actually 'Wacko Jacko'.
Michael did a very snakey move against Paul. Sure he did pay to buy those Beatle songs, but he was given advice and tips from a guy who was in the music business longer than he was and used that information against him. Paul has every right to be angry and call him Jacko.

love u paul!!!!!!!
please come back to brazil
I would love to hear James cover this song. He has the vocal range to do it.
tfw people don't know that the interviewer is a music legend
I know, like, whaat? People are calling JDB a bad interviewer, when he is a legend himself!
He may be something, the problem is he doesn't stop interrupting Paul and called Michael "Jacko", a racist nickname the british gave him (Paul even had to correct him). If he's a legend that's okay, but doesn't give him the right to say what he wants.
@@shadowcoded It's not a racist name. But it's short for Wacko Jacko which is not a nice name.
@@Revolver1981 no, seriously the name Jacko came from a monkey's scientific name called Macacco Jacco. This is what I saw and several people from the fandom already warned about that.
It’s wacko jacko lol
Why are you calling him JACKO
can't believe he said that
" Music is everyone's possession its only the publisher's and copywriters that think that they own it" - John Lennon 1980 in his playboy interview.
How Yoko would be living right now if music is anybody's possessions?
I think none of this would have happened if John was still alive. John would have probably bought the rights to the Beatles songs. Paul was way ahead of Jackson in other ways, because Mike was a recluse, whereas Paul was social and made friends in many fields.
David why the hell do you read so much tabloids? MJ had no friends? You don't know what you're talking about... obviously...
A lovely song x
Is there a full interview, any idea why I can find it?
Great collaboration. They should have done much more together
beautiful!!
Don't say jacko ,
James Dean Bradfield for Labour leader
Labour isn't for the working class anymore.
The comments on this video are fucking mental.
It takes another great musician to tell Paul- 'Stop that!'
Good interview...(just don't mention 'Motown Junk!)...
Paul💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Next Question from James Dean Bradfield:
In the lyric to Motown Junk (By the Manic Street Preachers) "I laughed when Lennon got shot". Change my mind.
Ok,I'm just hoping that someone who knows the answer or someone who is close enough to Paul to ask him this question is reading this. Ok question:In the strawberry fields forever video when Paul jumps from the tree,did he really jump from that height or did he hang and drop? Because there's a cut that only shows the drop from just below the branch. And we see him on the branch. Because if he made that complete jump then its very impressive,but if its a hang and drop job with an edit its still impressive but not as much. PEACE ✌ and LOVE
Pure logic is the answer to your question, dude 😂
No human being, even the musical god that is Paul McCartney, can simply crouch down and jump that high in the air.
Miguel Moreno I think you miss understand the question. I'm talking about the jump FROM the branch,not a jump TO the branch from the ground. Because if you've seen the video where he's jumping fro the ground on to the branch then your seeing it in reverse. The scene was filmed with him already on the branch,and then we see him drop. I know that its impossible for somebody to jump onto the branch from the ground.
+Miguel Moreno do you get me now? It was filmed with Paul starting on the branch and then jumping or hanging and dropping from the branch and then it's seen in reverse to make it look like he's jumping from the ground on to the branch. So I was asking if he jumped off branch onto ground or if he hung from the branch by his hands so his feet were closer to the ground and then dropped
He's so adorable!!!!! ^_^
Its not Jacko its "JACKSON" Thanks Paul for correct that
my two babies working together
Who was that 1 person who dared to dislike this??
Anyone got the link to the full interview?
Would love to see you do some songs with the MonaLisa-Twins!
+Jerry Chamness Yes! The twins are amazing :D
Fucking Hero. Dam, Paul is awesome.
+Adam . I'm just glad someone understood my question. Because someone else thought I was asking if Paul jumped FROM the ground onto the tree branch in one go lol. Obviously he's seen it in reverse and thought I thought Paul jumped FROM ground onto the branch in one crouch and jump and was going on like I was an idiot. But yes,I thought Paul had been standing on the branch and then the stopped the camera and just filmed him hanging from the branch and dropping . And just made it look like he was jumping the full height down to the ground. Lol. So complicated to explain. Well only idiots wouldn't understand. I'm glad you did. Thanks. Are you a Beatles fan?
Paul looking good.
It’s JACKSON
Great!
All the pricks on here getting up in arms at JDB for referring to Michael Jackson as 'Jacko'.
These are clearly people who know nothing about music if they haven't even heard of the Manics. Hands down one of the best and most important bands of all time. James can say what he wants.
Shadow Palace They don't care about whatever band he was in. People don't really like assholes.
Most people are feckin' arseholes in this world. James Dean Bradfield isn't one of them x
Shadow Palace Well not knowing how the word "jacko" has a racist undertone he doesn't sound too intelligent. Let's not take into account how MJ hated this tabloid made nick.
Hows it got a racist undertone to it? Sounds like we are hearing politically correct bullshit yet again.
They seem proud of being ignorant of the Manics' greatness, its bizzare
Most interviewers are not empathic people, they're narcissists that get paid to be gossipy trolls. "Jacko" is not only a lack of respect, it's downright petty and childish. Paul has and always been a good man, that's why he said "Michael" like that.
You do know that “Interviewer” is the lead singer from the Manic Street Preachers?
Is Paul wearing a wig, his hair looks like a wig but I am unsure? Also it is pretty ugly for the interviewer to call Michael, Jacko.
+1980Triumph I think he paints it.
I've always wanted about is hair. like most people is age are likely bald or have bald spots. I wondered if he has a wig on or had hair transplants.
+1980Triumph The interview is James Dean Bradfield, a star in his own right in the Manic Street Preachers. He can call him Jacko if he likes.
Alex Hopkins Nettle suck it loser
+1980Triumph I love how Paul asks if he's referring to Michael. It's humbling hearing Paul speak about Michael now, considering he could easily have some lasting bitterness since the buyout.
The Beatles were never the same after Freddie left.
WOWW people are so PC these days Jesus Christ. James Dean Bradfield, the "interviewer" is a Welsh musician, who plays guitar and sings for Manic Street Preachers. He knows his stuff when it comes to music so let him ask what he wants. Also, that whole "jacko" thing, British people tend to shorten names a lot, for example, James' bandmate is called Nicky and James calls him Nick. It's not an offensive thing to do. People get so butthurt.
absolutely right, it,s common in wales to have nicknames at different times ive had evdog, pws, nobby, and nelly, and people ive grown up with have, spew, deet, snakey, pig, the list goes on , its not insulting just a term of endearment, your irish or could be American (butthurt) lol, but I'm sure its not unique to wales, people need to chill out.
Neil Evans my point exactly, thank you! And you're correct I'm Irish but I used 'butthurt' to speak the language of all the sensitive Americans in the comments
ArtIsLife02 exactly so there's no reason for people to be calling him offensive names when he didn't mean anything by it as I've stated multiple times before nice to see a reasonable fan
two great musicians, would love to be a fly on the wall when the camera stopped rolling and they talked by themselves, "macca" shit did I offend anyone then? down to earth man fair play.
The best thing about this interview are the ridiculous comments underneath. Out of all the things in the history of time, one half-second abbreviation of someone's surname has really really upset people! He abbreviated a name, of *course* he must be a terrible human being. James Dean Bradfield tends to give people throwaway nicknames when he talks about them, that's just his jokey way of talking. He's clearly not trying to disrespect MJ here, he actually seems quite admiring (even though he has perfect reason not to be). But there's no point trying to convince you lot, Jackson fans tend to be in denial of the most obvious facts. Just thought I'd try to put a minute in to defend someone who I know to be a stand-up guy and great talent (the fact that you guys haven't even heard of him suggests quite a limited music knowledge, anyway...)
i agree with you but you can also see how paul himself is a little uncomfortable because when james says "jacko" paul correct him saying "michael" so it was a little awkward
Mila Ash You must be incredibly naive if you think that he is giving Michael Jackson an affectionate nickname. It is and was widely used in the press as a derogatory name. No one who knew the man would use it (hence Paul's awkward correction). Does it mean he is a terrible human being? No. But it is disrespectful and that is a fact that *you* are in denial about. It's just bizzare to not refer to someone by their actual name, particularly when 1) The name is something Jackson found insulting and 2) He didn't even know the Jackson. I would not like it. Paul didn't seem to like it. What's the big deal?
I have never in my life been in denial about a fact, I'm a fucking scientist. However what you think is an "obvious fact" may be (unbeknownst to you) untrue, especially when it concerns Michael Jackson. I like the truth and *will* correct those that spread false facts.
They seem proud to be ignorant of JDB, its bizzare
JDB is my biggest Idol, but we all put our foot in our mouths sometimes
I like the comments here, mainly by Americans and Jackson fans, who don't know much about the British music scene, James Dean Bradfield or the Manic Street Preachers and refer to him as a "subpar "interviewer". He is not an interviewer he is an accomplished musician, together with Mccartney one of my favorites, and who cares if it's Jacko, Wacko, Jackson, Michael, King of this king of that...
Is JDB a little bit starstruck here?
tottaly!!!
very good
Wow who assigned this guy for the interview.
Paul McCartney. This guy is James Dean Bradfield, lead singer of the massive successful rock group Manic Street Preachers who have supported Paul in concert. Paul asked for him personally because he new James was a genuine fan of the album Pipes of Peace. Which is what they were there to talk about.
thanks for sharing this. would you mind to tell the source of this information?
I remember Noddy Holder (Slade) wanted to do a remake back in 1983 with ozzy osborne with the title: gay gay gay!
Misconception led by cultural difference then. I like three of them, especially MJ when I was in middle school and MSP now. I think it's quiet reasonable for MJ fans to feel offended because JDB called him Jacko. Just solve the misunderstanding and that's all. No way could JDB said that in a racist way referring to MSP's political opinions. Also, the point is to clear this up, not saying JDB is talented in his rights so he could say anything, is that too difficult for some of you to understand? This is the real bizarre thing. What's more, a band or musician's accomplishment is undoubtedly not really related with the business achievements isn't it? An example which may not so serious, Karl Marx may not that popular in today's commercial colleges and the mainstream economics but it doesn't mean Marxist political economy is any secondary okay? Fair enough for your meaningless disputes.
Aah Faul (only joking) and James meeting for first time? Paul and James probably went for a beer afterwards!
Great stories, but why does the interviewer keep on interrupting Paul? So rude.
+lirfrank It's not 'an interviewer' it's bloody James Dean Bradfield, one of the best songwriters and vocalists and guitarists of all time, it's *meant* to be more like a conversation between them.
Stuart Rook I must admit that I didn't know about this artist and sorry if that offended you but still, Paul had so much to say and he just couldn't, oh well, he shares a lot on Michael on the McCartney Years.
I think James Dean Bradfield is clearly nervous here to be speaking to someone so famous and who he would have been listening to his whole life. People tend to accidentally talk over people when they're nervous and excited.
Typical American who has never heard of MSP because their lyrics are too complicated for American brains
Joseph Preston You know your comment says more about you than MJ. If you don't like his music, fine. Honestly, who cares? But coming up w/ false allegations and the results of his very serious health problems (2 autoimmune diseases and a 3rd degree burn) makes you look a total ass.
Did this man just call the King of Pop "Jacko" ?
You're so handsome :)
Hahahaha... Jackson & McCartney the best couple for me! :3
Yet you seem to prefer Mr. Starkey, judging by the profile picture you chose.
Reverend Eslam And That has something wrong? I love The Beatles and Michael Jackson. I love them equally.
Kassandra Hernandez Nothing wrong there Senora. :)
+Reverend Eslam senora? what do u mean? lol ..
Kassandra Hernandez"Senora" is the title of a woman in the Spanish language.
I assumed you had Hispanic heritage since your family name is Spanish?
