Truth is no one will understand the relationship between John and Paul like John and Paul.
I'm pretty sure Ringo understands it better than either of them.
Ringo saw all in the end I'm sure.
Zoso The Outrider I understand their relationship without any explanations.
Zoso The Outrider it was more important than any other relationship they’d ever experience.
Absolutely 👍
Thank God it was Paul who inducted him not Yoko
No way was that going to happen. There would have been an insurrection.
Yoko Oh No!
@@davidkariu2330 "I can feel John inside me now, and I can hear him asking me to tell you all "thank you" and that he loves you all. He loves the whole world."
@@ClarenceFisher Sounds like her alright *cringe*
to jov what an idiot you really are yoko was his life why are you hiding replies
I got emotional when he said,"This letter comes with love from your friend Paul, John Lennon you made it,tonight you are in the rock and roll hall of fame,God bless you."
Noman Newaz ✨😢🌹
He was clearly holding back the tears at that moment.
"With love, from me to you."
The love & respect Paul had for John...shows in his speech to (JL-HOF) induction ***
Paul McCartney is one of those people that you'd pay to listen to talk about furniture. The man just has presence.
I love listening to him, he was a bit shyer/nervous when he was with The Beatles but age has made him fearless, lol.
@Jeremy Spade We'll pay you to stay off the internet
I've been in love with Paul McCarrtney since 1963 !!!!! And the other Beatles as well. I'm a musician, singer songwriter bcz of them. Nothing comes CLOSE today
Well said ❤
I remember a McCartney story from their pre-fame days when they were in an old van going from one club to another and ran off the road and didn't know what to do. The individual provenance is sketchy, but someone said 'Something will happen'. It became a kind of defacto mantra for them. I say it to myself every day. "Something will happen'. Something did happen--for them, at least. They changed music forever.
He was talking to John...not to the audience....keep that in mind.
ryan49er1 exactly. Heart breaking.
I got the feeling that Paul is saying things he wished he'd ssid to John.
In parts, yes!
He knew too. McLen knew each other well!
.... I'm just saying. :)
I reckon if John hadnt been shot then the Beatles may have got together for the Live Aid concert in 1985, just to add, i have created a Paul McCartney lookalike video in good humour, to see it simply just type in the following title to the search bar above...... 'People who look like Paul McCartney'
@@kenni123064 he said i meet john when they were still young...stop talking about faul
Love it when Paul says: "John Lennon, you made it. Tonight you're in the rock and roll hall of fame. God Bless Ya."
Lenny Hendricks Paul should have been inducted at the same time. Really nasty that he wasn’t inducted until FOUR years later!!
@@barbaranelson8617 -- I would imagine that had to do with John having passed and Paul still being alive and kicking at the time. I don't sense that Paul was offended.
Well, when Paul was inducted, he reportedly brought his daughter Stella up on stage with him, who was sporting a t-shirt saying "About Fucking Time".
The only sincere part
It wasn't too long ago when someone could make a speech in front of an audience without continuous wooo's and applause after every damn thing they said
Paul was always the stoic one in the group. To see him so uneasy and struggling to fight back the emotions he must've been feeling shows the love he still felt for John. Beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.
I also felt Paul was fighting a huge urge to cry , but, he managed to contain himself, not letting tears flow out.
You can always tell when Paul gets emotional, as you can see him try to play it off.
Abseloutely, non verbal never lies
@@redadamearth
@@jelau4851 Self proclaimed body language expert? Shameful.
There a million ways to describe the diverse and sometimes complex personality of the Paul McCartney. But "stoic" is definitely not one of them 😂
John and Paul were soulmates of a sort. The relationship they had was spectacular. It’s heartbreaking to listen to the emotion in a grown man’s voice as he speaks to his best friend - as he tries to hold it together.
They were made for each other!
Indeed they were. It was a fascinating relationship they had.
They were soulmates
They sure were.
gayyyyyy
Lost his Mum.
Lost his best friends.
Lost his wife.
This man is a true inspiration :)
Lost his school mate George. His been through alot.
amen
Two in heaven, two on Earth.☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀😇🌷🌸🌄💜😇🌷🌸🌄💜😇🌷🌸🌄💜😇🌷🌸🌄💜😇🌷🌸🌄💜😇🌷🌸🌄💜
He'll always have Yoko
Never lost his story-telling talent.
He’s usually an easier talker. You can feel Paul holding back a continent of emotion. Now that’s love.
"A continent of emotion." That's very nice.
No, love is never "holding back". Love is full on inclusion.
Couldn't even imagine how he is feeling.
TheAwakenedINFJ He’s holding back from bawling while saying things he wished he had said to his dead friend he never got to reconcile with. I’d say it’s ok here.
I couldn’t even begin to know all of the different emotions he was feeling. That must have been VERY hard.
This made me cry. It's like hearing a brother doing a eulogy about his beloved brother who passed away.
It meant so much for us to know that Lennon shared some good habits and the joy of being with his son, in one of their last calls, since on the Get Back documentary we have a clearly difference as John was doing heroin and almost getting himself lost. So that part was so nice to hear
That final "John Lennon, you made it. Tonight you're in the rock and roll hall of fame." nearly gets me choked up, you can tell he's close to crying there.
It seems odd to me though. Like going to the world's richest man and being like, "You made it dawg, you can buy a 2007 rusty honda civic", idk maybe the hall was seen as a big deal back then?
@hansolo631 I think they considered it an honor, but both Paul and John would have known their fame far surpassed the bounds of what the Hall of Fame could represent, so Paul was keeping it straightforward and casual
When he said, "Oh boy," I knew he was trying not to cry, so naturally I lost it.
D. D.D. What an absolute pile of garbage! Get over yourself.
D. D.D. I hope you find some happiness in your life that will stop you from saying negative things like this
@D. D.D. You sound jealous and pathetic. Get a life.
Ikr I cried sm and I never even met John or Paul :(
D. D.D. Wow you know when I saw the comment I was surprised cause I like damn he was sad? I thought the exact same as you that he was super uncomfortable and cause no one was laughing at most of the parts of his scripted speech. Btw anyone dw about the people giving you shit they’re just not as smart as you xd
"Think of me old friend"
The last words spoken by John to Paul.
Now how do you know this? I am curious
@@jayvonck9757 good question
I read somewhere - the last words spoken by John were "Yes I am" when he was asked "Are you John Lennon", by one of the doctors in the emergency room after he had been shot.
Rich Joe wasn’t he already dead when he came into the hospital?
@@cesarnunez4029 good question
You can tell he loved him like a brother. His words are inspiring. They changed the world together. Thanks for the music. It inspires us all everyday.
Imagine the reverse, John's witty and hilarious induction of Paul would've been great.
“I miss ya, ya cunt!”
-John Lennon, 1994
I don’t think John would have been laughing if it had been Paul who had been killed and he was inducting him. Moron.
@@gretchennelson9965 Well Paul also told some jokes, didn't he? And he misses John so much!
@@gretchennelson9965 Laughing at old memories is not the same as laughing at someone’s death
@@gretchennelson9965 it’s pretty healthy to laugh and reminisce about those you’ve lost
Writing songs was never hard for Paul to do. THIS was.
It must've killed him inside
@@Ryan23H why?
@@hjgd90 to talk about John so candidly
@Fred Wucher When he talks about him you can tell he does but he recognizes that he really loved Yoko and they just didn't...
Writting songs was hardly complicated , THIS is the one of the only times his heart was broke , but having to not cried , # PAUL MCARTNEY IS AWESOME . # JOHN LENNON IS AWESOME , MAY HE REST IN PEACE
"John Lennon you made it."
+Sabrina Umstead That one had me choked up. Beautiful speech.
Honestly same
Quite. The rest is noise.
my heart
@@icejjfish3409 goosebumps
No one is more rock than John Lennon. Not a fake one with tough looking clothes, silly symbols and generic obnoxious stereotypical rock behavior. John was the real deal. He had a real edge, he had charisma, intelligence, he didn´t conform and he was innovative. All that is on the inside. THAT is rock.
John Lennon was kind of a fraud
I miss him so much. My heart was forever broken on Dec.8, 1980
Same with Tom Petty
Watch the full documentary "Get Back" and see for yourself the love these two guys had for each other.
It cracks me up when people complain about Paul's ego. If you wrote the soundtrack for an entire generation and were told every day of your life how special you are....let's see how well you keep your ego in check! I think Paul and the rest of the boys did a pretty good job...all things considered.
Vintage Vinyl paul has every right to talk good about himself anyway, hes paul mccartney
Paul has done very well. So has Ringo . Life goes on. They worked so hard, and had a path that was just for them. Beatles forever!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
McCartney is the most accomplished songwriter in rock and roll history. Hands down. It's him. Beatles, Wings, solo, duets, etc. Nobody wrote and made music that sold more than he did. That goes for all people and all types of music ever
He is extremely modest most every time I have ever heard him talk. Extremely. Doesn't brag, doesn't talk down to people. He is also a considerate and caring listener when fans and reporters, etc., speak to him. In fact, the way he is, he typically acts like you are important to him when you talk to him. That is why people love him even more.
Hes pretty humble for how great he is
Paul is lovely. Considering his incredible lifelong fame and a talent beyond almost every other rock/pop composer, he's remained as humble as it's possible to be. The world is a better place with him in it.
The "Yea" at 1:29 sounds like John
It's almost like John was replying to Paul...
shit...
M o m c o m e p i c k m e u p I ' m s c a r e d
I was thinking the same thing! Strangely beautiful.
Ok buddy..
Omg that’s weird. It does sound like John!
Beautiful and sad all at the same time. I still can't get my head around how we lost John Lennon all those years ago. Paul and John--two of the greatest song writers and performers of all time.
Hello,how are you doing?
I was 12 and it kicked my ass.
Yes, that was totally unnecessary for him to die like that.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Paul so uncomfortable. I think this task was so emotionally difficult for him that his goal was simply to try to hold it together. And so he relies on notes and is fidgety and mechanical. Paul oozes humanity. I really felt for him here. I guarantee you, this was one of the most difficult things he’s ever done. Bless you, Paul.
Yes, the only thing that shows him maybe a bit more uncomfortable is the one from the Desert Island Show from 1982 where they played Beautiful Boy and he was sooo close to crying. The way he moved his face around was so sad.
John and Paul were the greatest love story ever.
Agree!
In the sense of creating songs...yeah
Robert Allen shut up Robert, Christ
"Touch is love"

Greatest team ever in music: Lennon/McCartney
bamamgr1 and jingo starrison
CooManTunes, my statement was, "Greatest team ever in music: Lennon/McCartney." Out of that one sentence you seem to state I also mean Harrison and Star are bad? Since you do not have the ability to post without profanity I assume you do not have the ability to read and comprehend. Making a positive statement on Lennon/McCartney is not stating George or Ringo were bad. George is probably one of the most if not the most underrated songwriters ever. Ringo was very talented as a drummer, and would also fall under the category of very underrated too. It took all 4 to make what happened happen, so no I would not say forget the other 2.
Ignore the guy, he's an angry troll, your post was not a slam or dig at George or Ringo.
Chris .Appel Yes. It was. Moron.
bamamgr1 also Ice Cube/Dr. Dre
What a class act. You can feel the love he has for Lennon with every word. At the end he was doing his best to keep himself composed. Truly a class man. Legend
Its very heart touching to see how Paul and John were so good friends, and after all that years, the memories still in the heart of him
Inducting John Lennon into the Rock n Roll Hall of fame is like giving Vince Lombardi the Lombardi trophy
Spot on.
Ha!!! Perfectly said. Love it.
True dat
Not really
@@Ghostfacekilla999 Did you get slapped for smiling when you were young?
They both lost their mothers when they were young. They were both crazy talented and determined. Look what we got out of it. Timeless music, such a gift for our heart and souls forever
Well said.
Janet McIntosh Imagine (no pun intended) how much more we would have received from the Beatles if they hadn’t broken up. ❤️
@@joanieb641 They all had sucessful solo careers. Great stuff came from all if 'em.
They also pushed each other to be better. Neither would have been as great if it wasn't for the many years they collaborated together. They gave each other confidence in their early years. Helped both of them grow creatively. Consider the amount of music these to wrote and performed in 6 years.
Janet McIntosh No one to hold them back, they just found their way and look what it did for all us? My Teen years would have been no where if not for the Beatles......
You can tell he’s uncomfortable sharing his memories and is struggling to keep it together, the little snippets that he’s giving out are for him and John to understand, not the rest of us.
You can tell how important John was in Paul’s life they were brothers and he really misses him because Paul is trying not to tear up because normally he talks so easily.
John may be gone physically but he still lives in peoples hearts
R.I.P. John Lennon the world misses you ❤️
Dear John do you remember all the times we rejected Ringo’s songs
lmaooooo
It was definitely for the best
And George's...especially when he was kicking our ass so bad on Abbey Road and we rejected "What Is Life" in favor of that piece of shit "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"? No way was George going to have 3 great songs on a Beatles album. High five?
@@joesimon2018 Quit bashing Maxwell's silver hammer, it ain't bad at all.
@@imeretian9446 granny music
the amount of jokes the audience didn’t snicker at i-
I’m sure they were smiling, it’s quite a sombre moment you know
The love me do thing was hilarious and no one made a sound lmao
There were no bad jokes, Paul is a very funny man 🎸
I’m just so thankful to Paul, and all the Beatles for being so real and so sharing.. everything they did meant so much to me then and now. I wish to meet them in the after Life.
Some of them would be funnier to John.
the crowd’s reaction when yoko’s name is mentioned is priceless
"Do we clap for that?? Okay maybe a few claps to break the awakward silence... nevermind Paul's talking again thank God"
That was a very brave performance. To stand before the world and recapitulate the shared life of a deep friend, a brother, really. I thought at each word his voice would break and he wouldn't be able to finish. I sat, enthralled, listening to his vignettes of his life with John, very moved by the stories and his obvious trial of emotion. And he pulled it off. Such grace under pressure is a rare thing to witness in the world, today.
You’re really projecting a lot of your emotions watching this onto Paul as if you know everything he feels about John. The guy had barely spoken to John for 10 years before he died. Sure they were brothers once, but I don’t think Paul is as broken up about his death as people like to think.
@@winser21, go bother someone who cares. Pffffffffft.
@@winser21, keep your pathetic imaginings to yourself. Piss off.
Yes, I think he did extraordinarily well. The script was by the numbers, in parts, but the emotion felt real. This is not an easy thing to do, as many of you will realise from eulogies you've delivered.
@@winser21 I have the same thoughts.
The man Paul loved like a brother died way before he was shot down. In a real friendship there’s no coming back from the shit they went through. The most painful thing in these cases is seeing your friend, your brother turning his back on you, turning into something that despises you. After that, they’re just like any stranger next door.
Bless him, he’s obviously broken hearted about losing John. How he held it together I’ll never know.
Beatles dont cry in public
Paul is NOT dead
@D. D.D. Hahaha, you have to comment under almost every comment, don't you? 🤦🏼♀️
@@eLiFILMSinc Ringo...?
(He cried when he talked about George's last words to him)
F. St. Yeah cause they have no life and love to to shove their bonkers conspiracy theories down people throats
As much as this was hard for Paul, I'd imagine how much it was a relief for him to finally share with the public all those random memories he kept inside all these years. The event was a fitting excuse for him to do just that.
You got it Joseph...
D. D.D. Dude everyone has bullet point flash cards for speeches like this. Especially in front of a large audience. People tend to get overwhelmed and forget their talking points. Also go take your gullible ass somewhere else
D. D.D. except what you’re saying isn’t true
@D. D.D. idiot
@D. D.D. ahhahahahahahahhahaah pauls dead get it hhahahahahahahah. shut the fuck up
Brothers from different mothers. We must treasure this complete legend of British music.
This always breaks me up. Brits are known for a stiff upper lip and control their emotions. You can tell that Paul's heart is breaking right in front of us all. Bless you mate. RIP John
I think that Paul is still broken hearted that John is gone. The petty differences in their personalities waxes very minuscule as time passes and the love that remains is vast and true.
It would be terrible to lose one of the most important people in your life in such a violent, and senseless manner....The kind of thing that heartbreak is made of....He was still so very young, and had so much life left to live, and love....A heartbreak felt throughout the world....
Brad Hill so wonderfully put.
From what I saw in there early videos and it looked like they were two goofy brothers. It would break me if I were to lose my friends
I’m still sad to this day!
@swiSSy Schweizer idiot
look at Paul's facial expressions he's so holding back the tears.........his lips, his eyes, his body movement he's so trying not to break down reminiscing about a dear and close friend he lost. I swear on my life I hope when I die at least one person acts like this, that would mean I was important to at least one person..........this is epic
Jason Stone im sorry to tell you but the real paul McCartney died in 1966...
We impact many people lives daily. Our job is to make sure it's a positive impact.
critter mccormick oh yeah, i forgot thanks man 😂
Jolly Good I love your comment. Just make the world better because your were here, in a big away or a small way. Just make it better.
Jason Stone I so agree with you, John was so important & special to Paul. He idolized him, Johns opinion was of utmost importance to Paul. ❤️
I love that it’s not just a speech, it’s a letter to John
John was Rock and Roll. And he was ALWAYS in that hall. This just made it official.
He talks about first meeting him, like it’s just Yesterday,,,
The older you get the shorter life seems. Yes, it was yesterday.
All his troubles seem so far away
I see what you did there
"This letter comes with love from your friend Paul...."
So much conveyed with that little statement...
I can't even imagine all the stories he has of him and John. He could've gone on for an hour and it still wouldn't have been enough.
Talks about A Day in the Life and finishes the sentence with "Oh boy"
"Bang goes another myth."
"Beatle sandwhich."
I like his subtle humor 😁
I died at the mythology gag. I miss how playful the threetles were with the mythology. ever since George died, they always seem to cover up every dirty detail
The day in the life story was hilarious
John Cavanaugh the public image of the Beatles as people, bandmates, all that. They were more honest then. They aren't as open about the conflicts or tension anymore. Paul and Ringo just smile and act like the 'Get Back' sessions never happened
My friends and I aren't the fucking beatles. And it's not about wanting to see them argue, it's about them being genuine. Human experience is nuanced. Bland generalizations aren't compelling. And fuck off your high horse
John Cavanaugh you have no fucking clue what you are even saying. I'm not idolizing. Acting like they are infallible is idolizing them. I'm relating to them. I never said anything about Paul's personal life, or even his public life. Only the public persona of the beatles legacy. Again, fuck off. You don't know what you're talking about
When my twin brother Paul died from cancer in 1992, I wrote, as a photographer, to many famous people asking that I might take their portrait in my bros' honour and collate a series of images for a book of photographs.
I sent out sixty seven letters to the good and great in their various fields and crossed my fingers and waited.....
Guess who the first person was to respond to my request. Your right. The very next day...
I went down to his studios, after being met with a big hug and a cuppa,
That picture got everyone else on board for the project and I know for sure that without Paul's yes it never would have got off the ground...
I was in pieces having just lost my twin bro and best friend and your words of kindness about your mate John helped me like you'll never know....
You didn't know me from Adam and yet you gave me your time and I will always be grateful for that.
Thank you.
I'm sure there are a few people on here who remember Paul & Barry Ryan.BTW 'Eloise' was a classic !
Cheers Bus!
Wow, is this really THE Barry Ryan? Sir, you have a wonderful voice!
@@MrBoreray I remember Paul and Barry. They were Muriel Youngs sons weren't they?
Barry. What a wonderful memory. I'm sure they knew of you.
I didn't know you lost your brother, I'm sorry to hear that.
I hope life is being good to you. Are you still in the music business?
Thank you for sharing your memory.
He’s so nervous. The memories must be phenomenal and overwhelming inside of him. Thank you, Paul. You’re still missed, John, and I’m still pi$$ed.
or they are not his memories and he is indeed william
@@BlorbusUnimax 🤡
@@evergarden8592 possibly, but or he has done the most amazing troll in history which is also possible
This is honestly such a sad thing to see. You can clearly see him holding back emotions in this. We all miss John. And one thing I realized, if they would've stayed together as a band, John might still be with us today. God bless all four of them for their talents and the great miracles they performed for this world.
1994: Paul McCartney inducts John Lennon
2015: Paul McCartney inducts Ringo Starr
James Talada George Harrison?
On his last day on Earth, John Lennon was followed around by Dave Sholin, who was interviewing him for RKO. Sholin was on his way to the airport and, when John and Yoko's car to the studio did not show up, Sholin invited them to ride with him and be dropped off on the way. They apparently had a remarkable day together and Sholin found Lennon to be open, friendly and excited to be reviving his career.
When the subject of Paul came up, John did not hesitate to talk about their troubles, but ultimately said this: "He’s like a brother. I love him. Families … we certainly have our ups and downs and our quarrels. But at the end of the day when it’s all said and done, I would do anything for him. I think he would do anything for me."
Obviously, I never met a Beatle, but it always troubled me to think that the two men didn't reconcile before they died. I find it very comforting to know that they did and that they had the opportunity to tell each other how they felt.
In the end, I suppose, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
Lots about the Beatles, but not much about John himself. Sorry, Paul was about as deep as Keef inducting Chuck Berry.
@@donnareedfan it's difficult to talk about someone who you love and respect and too explain their relationship too others..it would take a lifetime to explain..Paul truly loved John and vice versa they were brother's
They did reconcile. There’s loads of stories out there that, post- Lost Weekend period, Paul was going to The Dakota almost every time he was in New York.
hillbilly beer dranker Sutcliffe, Epstein, Lennon, Linda...
They did reconcile he spoke about it in an interview with Howard stern
Music brings two friends together like nothing else...
I’m such a nerd - this speech still makes me cry
This is the most uncomfortable I've ever seen Paul in public. It was a beautiful speech though.
His heart was breaking.
Rene Rodriguez
Quite right. Speaking wise yes. And playing Here Today. It really does me in. It gets me to see Paul pouring his heart out with grief. I do feel him.
Rene Rodriguez I WANNA GIVE HIM HUGZZZ!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!
"Macca"was and is,an asshole.
@@reg5381 The kind of asshole that can stand against the huge asshole that Lennon was.
I'll bet John would've done the same for the Paul if the situation was reversed.
I never thought about it but this is actually so true :'(
dreams are dreams true respect to Beatles
dreams are dreams Huh? Oh the Paul is dead bullshit.
John would never take the Hall of Fame seriously.
Except he would have done it right.
Paul is like fine wine...he only gets better with age!
To be young and raised on Beatle music...what a gift God gave me and anyone who grew up on them and their music well it's timeless.God bless the Beatles
If John was around today I'm sure they would be good friends. That youthful competitive spirit can be destructive. But age is a great healer.
+Paul Ivey They would be genuinely friendly today when they saw each other, at least, if not close friends. During the '70s, while they were suing each other over pride too many times to do anyone any good, John both hated and loved Paul at the same time. Anyone who's been through a divorce knows how that can be. And John called it "like a divorce."
Brazilian Atlantis they were pretty much back to normal before John died. Makes it even more sad. Just as they were healing their relationship John gets shot...
George said what people do not realize for years they did not even leave the Hotel rooms and they got by with their love for each other and humor. That period of their life was so different no one could ever imagine what it was like to be a Beatle in the sixties.
To Paul Ivey:yes they were just starting to talk on the phone and after John's murder, Paul said that he was visiting John in new York several times and Paul said that he and John spoke many times about making a new album with all 4 Beatles.
Paul did have an ego, but so did John, so did all of them. In the end though they were just "4 guys who really loved each other" (which I think Ringo said) What friendships don't have their ups and downs? In the end John and Paul were brothers
+austin angler we all do - it's a human condition.
Of course they had an ego. How can you not when the world tells you they love you and how much of a God you are every day.
Ringo made a comment once that he was "born an only child but will die having had three brothers" absolutely beautiful.
+Serena Hall its in the job description under Rock Star must have somewhat of an ego LOL everyone has an ego its not letting it go crazy that is the key
+Austin Angler What a fantasy. They were about themselves, they were not brothers, and they did not end their relationship as best friends. They were produced, they were lucky, and they couldn't hold a candle to guys like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, and Paul still can't hold a candle to John.
"Ahh, boy ..." That got to me. Paul was holding back the tears at that point. The "I'd love to turn you on" memory and their shared look must have especially stirred something up inside.
i noticed after watching quite a few pretty emotional interviews with paul, that he gets very twitchy when he's nervous, or on a verge of crying. here he looks like he cant stop twitching, and watching it breaks my heart
Yes, that's true. I also recognized that...
The crowd was quiet out of respect as everyone knew how painful it was for Paul to induct John into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame because of his assassination.
Because quite simply, they should BOTH have been up there together. Which having healed their relationship, they WOULD have been! That is the obvious subtext here, so yes there is a respectful rather than over the top celebratory mood. In a just world, John would have been there himself.
no shit
Please dont say that ugly word asasination! Not cool! Do you like that word? I dont! John Lennon is a Humanitarian ! We all miss Him!!
Honestly, I do sort of believe that he would have forgiven the guy who shot him. Too bad the fury of the public prevented him from ever getting a parole.
This was surely one of the hardest things Paul McCartney ever did. It's just absolutely heartbreaking.
And then the HOF betrayed him. There was an agreement that Paul would be inducted the following year but instead they made him wait 5 years, by which time Linda was dead. F*ckers. .
Saw Julian Lenton on TV recently and he still calls him Uncle Paul!
Love Paul McCartney
My Dad saw the Beatles live.
Paul just comes across so laid back and he has gone through so much. I am so happy they put their differences aside.
What I love about this random collection of memories from Paul is that he didn't try to canonize John; he didn't try to elevate him to super-human status. He just shows how it was the real, day-to-day moments -- even at the height of fame -- that were meaningful to him. For us on the outside, we want to see a legend immortalized, but Paul was just missing an old friend.
@Paul McCartney It's amazing how stupid these bot creators must think people are. Reported.
If you see my msg and the bot msg is still there, plz report it.
The "ah boy" at 6.30 is one of the most revealing moments i've ever seen from Paul.
Ikr it's like he's trying to recover from some memory he had with John 🤔
D. D.D. On
D. D.D. all i can think of reading that comment is the video where everyone facepalms at the same time
@D. D.D. I used to love the Beatles before I realized they were all occultists and used their music to spread an agenda of evil.
@Benjamin is Perfect Wish I was, they were my favorite childhood band... I'm not going to get into it, but you can see for yourself if you care enough to look.
Oh the stories Paul could tell!!
It must of been difficult with out getting emotional.
These 4 blokes changed the world 🌎.
I LOVED ALL OF THEM & THEIR MUSIC. THEY MOLDED MY WORLD.
John was so talented & such a musical force.
SEAN. JULIAN & YOKO his family .
GEORGE & JOHN dearly missed around the world. THANK YOU Paul!!!
Love their music, still at 65 it moves me sometimes to tears.
Paul has control his tears of losing john... their friendship is incomparable... paul showwed how he missed their moments and how he loved their friendship.. i seemed to cry listening him. I missed their friendship and presence although im not born at their time... when i listened their music ses they were lived on this world. GOD bless paul and john9
Paul always loved John and the group. He dedicated many songs to John. In 1974 John was wearing a button "I love Paul" and someone asked him "Why are you wearing this shirt?" "Because I love Paul." Harry Nilsson told that story.
They were really friends...
I love when he imitates the voice of John.
Nice comment

Grazie.
hi Zeusdattilo, exist a picture with John and this shirt?
I don't think. Actually, as referred in Geoffrey Giuliano's book "The Beatles: a celebration" it was a button. Harry Nillson told this story about a girl friend of his who, one day, met John who was wearing this button on his shirt.
She asked him "Why are you wearing this button?" and he replied "Because I love Paul".
John did love Paul. It was the impostor they hired after 1966 he wasn't too crazy about
There’s an unusual moment at 1:30 when he says “yeah”. It doesn’t sound like Paul. It sounds like John to me.
John might have said that
hE wAs pOsSeSSeD!1!
Only those four men know what they meant to each other..their contributions will live on ...Because it's a longand winding road..much love for the music.
Here we go again, 8th December 2020. 40 years... 💔 We love and miss you, John! 🥺
At 6:27, when he talks about the look they exchanged after that line in A day in the life, you can see he's reliving that moment.
The pause, the sigh and the 'ah boy' are so painful to watch.
It's when he thinks about small, intimate and playful moments like that one - moments only the two of them shared - that Paul misses John the most.
you make them sound gay lol
@@hunterking4045 I'll never understand why two men can't be great friends without someone perpetuating homosexuality. Be comfortable with who you are, and accept others as they are, too.
@@hunterking4045 Shut up idiot

I'm crying
You're crying
Let's all cry together

Cry together! Right now! Over me! Written by John Lennon
Was that one of there songs?
This was 30 years after the Beatles hit the big time. Suddenly, it's 60 years since they did. I bet Paul, now 80, can't believe it either.
The Beatles deserve a higher level of honor than the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. They were one of a kind and the best musical act that will ever exist.
Yes, sadly the R&R HOF has become a joke and not really that credible...too political, too many people omitted who should be there, too many admitted who shouldn't have been...
If you're a fan, you will cry. I grew up with the lads as best I could, through film and vinyl. I'm 60 and had never seen this video before. I clearly remember the day John died. The Beatles and John solo touched my life in so many ways I can't explain. Thank you John. Thank you Paul. Thank you George. Thank you Ringo. Thank you for enriching the life of a kid from nowhere USA. Seriously.
Nailed it. Thanks
Ikura Prime I'm with you every step of the way on that one. Wasn't it incredible growing up with them? The music kept flowing from them to us and never dried up until the break up.
It's impossible for those who were not there to understand what they were and what they meant to all of us. Every six months a new album would come out and every track was a gem. Every three months there was a new single with music that was never on an album.
In the early 80s A Hard Day's Night was re-released in theaters. I went with my friends and all of those who were my age literally cried at the beginning of that film. It had only been a short time since John was killed and it hit home on every one of us who were in that theater that day. Try to explain that to younger people who were not there and they will just shake their heads and walk away.
We we're privileged and blessed to be part of that time and to experience all that came with it.
I did not cry. But I am a big fan. It was just nice to hear his stories about there bond together. Even though he was hurting of loosing a dear friend.
@@tallmn1957 even after the breakup, the music never died, it seemed to multiply times four. I was heartbroken about the breakup, but when attending a Paul McCartney concert in Charlotte 93, that was absolutely the best night of my life!
@ONNIE TALONE John did change. He wasn't the peace loving guy before he met Yoko. He wasn't humble. He was very arragant. He only became more humble in his later years. He grew up. He said as much in the bed in for peace interviews. But, John never changed in that he was true to himself no matter if his beliefs changed. He was always blatantly honest.
Long Live the BEATLES.
Forever
a splendid time is guaranteed for all.
+Maren Denison And tonight Mr. Kite topping the bill!
Syd Barrett Syd Barrett is commenting on TH-cam? Awesome :P
+Maren Denison Beatles Forever.
“Thank you, Larry.” The timeless satirical quippy humor of Paul and the Beatles that made them so fun.
40+ years is a long time to go without ever seeing or speaking to one of your favorite people. What a reunion that's going to be.
Hello,how are you doing?
God,you can clearly see the pain and the sadness in his eyes
heartbreaking
Katja Müller Go check you vinyl copy of Please Please Me and look at the writers credits it was McCartney /Lennon before Lennon /McCartney.I can see it eats at you that John picked Paul to be his partner in July 1957 and not you..Get over it..
You are way more pathetic than Paul. And you never knew John or was a friend of John or even wrote a song with John. Paul did all those things.You are just faceless bitter fan that thinks he knows John..LOL
Katja Müller oh God, you are just simply dumb darling. If you know nothing, then stay quiet.
One advice for the future : shut up and open your fucking eyes ;)
I took a shit once and both of the turds in the toilet didn't argue about which one came out first. They both knew where they were going in the longrun.
He changed the songs so he got some of the royalties. He gave Julian some of the royalties where some of it should have went. Yoko didn't give Julian ANYTHING, not even the letters he wrote his father. Not even his childhood pictures his father had. Julian has spent the better part of his adult life buying from collectors, his own things back, because Yoko refused to give him anything. So yea Paul got petty and changed things so that both of John's son's got his Royalties. We know Yoko got her cut for being the widow. How would you feel if your childhood memories were being sold off to collectors at auctions and you had to spend money to get them back? Or your father passed away and you got nothing.
Should have ended with: "You passed the audition!"
YES!
Flog....
That would have been awesome!
That’s hilarious, that would’ve been great
Yes, that is what John said at their last session on the rooftop "I hope we passed the audition"
To do not without a tear drop must have been challenging. What a great letter
When George died Paul called him his baby brother. Which was beautiful. In truth, I think John was Paul’s big brother. In fact, he may have been the big brother to all of them.
I think that’s true. Paul has said that all The Beatles looked up to John.
It sounds as if he is trying not to cry.
ChristineES44 I imagine it still hurts to this day, they had time but not enough.
It is the most significant relationship he had in his life .. so why wouldn't he cry??
Paul thinking about John reminds me of Brian thinking about Freddie
I was thinking the exact thing. Brian has a hard time talking about freddie.
Freddie Mercury was Brian May's best friend, and Sir Paul McCartney was John Lennon's best friend. It is nice to hear what the surviving best friend says about the dead best friend.
or Dave Grohl about Kurt Cobain
@@gmrodriguesz Krist is more emotional than Dave about Kurt.
I WASN'T EXPECTING TO SEE THIS MY HEART STOPPED FOR A SECOND
John Lennon and Paul McCartney together as a song writing team changed the future of music. I remember seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 that was exciting. They played many songs in 4 Ed Sullivan Sunday night shows. I remember in the mid 1960s on the AM radio station they had a music competition contest and would keep playing another tune and see which song won and 'I want to hold your hand' by The Beatles won that contest. A different time in 1967 I was 12 and I brought my portable record player to a girl's place in our small town and we were playing spin the bottle and a few guy and a few girls and you kissed the girl who the bottle pointed to. That was fun. The only records we had there were The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. I remember each of the Beatles songs as they were released on the AM radio station the songs were always great.
I can’t believe a man, 9 years before I was born, could leave such a lasting presence in my life. Thank you, John. You’ve saved me a few times x
Brilliant man. Not talking about the assasination, not giving that jerk of all jerks any credit any waste of time and name. Paul your the best.
One of the best comments on this thread...and no one...
I've met Paul and is wife Linda God rest her soul.. Here in LIVERPOOL when he was on the Royal Court. He was amazing so down to earth the two of them were. Love the man. ❤⚘❤
I doubt any of the critics could do an 8 minute speech in front of thousands of people and try and be funny and poignant at the same time.....all the while trying to hold it together and not break down......easier said than done folks!
THANK YOU. I swear, people are too hard on these just for not reacting to things the way THEY think they should react. We haven't lived the same lives they've lived Even if you know a lot about Paul, you don't what's going on in his head all the time, so they really need to just let him be whoever he wants to be. He's been through enough crap
xpat73 You are right on the money concerning Paul. The first few minutes he was very nervous and looks like he was holding back some deep emotion that was bubbling at the surface. I felt very sorry for him but proud at the same time.
Dear Xpat: I couldn't even speak for more than a minute at my mother's funeral in 2003, but Paul held it together, I admire him so much, and I loved the stories he shared with the world as Lennon finally got inducted into the hall of music, which should have happened many years earlier. All the Beatles have had to wait for too many years, and the rock n roll Hall of fame waited way too long.
@@tiablue9106 totally agree. Paul and Ringo are both older now so people need to stop with these ugly, snarky comments. If u don't like the Beatles, no one is forcing you to listen to their music. I was taught to respect my elders, so lay off these 2 remaining Beatles and give them props for the best music of all time 🎸 🥁 😁
Man you can tell at some times during his speech, he’s holding back tears, the thing for me is that even if they weren’t Muscians , they would still be friends live each other
That was really quite moving. I've seen a lot of interviews with Paul (we all have, I'm sure) and I'm never convinced how sincere he is. But I felt that here, he was really meaning it and feeling it. Oh boy...
Everyone should watch the interviews with paul McCartney when he was young. Whenever they'd ask him something he'd give John the credit. Always. 😑😑😑
Great insight! I'll keep an eye out for it.
NOTED I am on the lookout 🕵️
That is because in the beginning I have a feeling a lot of the "Lennon, McCartney" songs were 80% Lennon. A couple years in I think Paul got his writing down, and a few years later George. But in the beginning I dont think anyone would argue it was Johns band (especially the Cavern and Hamburg days)
@@DimitrisDr3am Oh, yeah. I've seen it like this: Pre-1965/66, it was John's band, almost completely. Post 1966, I'd say it's more Paul's band, really.
Disagree. They gave each other credit. They were both as humble and as loyal as each other. It was in the latter years when asked post Beatles, it was made more evident who wrote what. Still loyal to his friend, but it was more Paul setting the record straight than John. I don't think John cared.... until he felt betrayed by digs in RAM songs and wrote the scathing 'How Do You Sleep' in retaliation. Interesting to note Phil (the last Beatle producer) produced it and George played on it.
A travel across the time. This is a video posted 8 years ago, showing an event from 25 years ago, whose subject was from 50 something years ago.
Great Band, The Beatles, whose legacy will last for many years to come.
It's 2019.
Their music will be playing in 3019. And beyond.
And it's 2020 now
@@celestial6516 2021 now
Yep. Forever.
❤❤❤ yes, indeed❤❤❤ I saw them when I was 16 years old they were fantastic!
Paul remembers him and miss him every single day, he lost his best friend, band member , co songwriter and very special person to his life. They're voice blended like no other.
