I wish when Paul would go on a talk show they would quit asking stupid questions about the Beatles and ask him to tell stories. He is such a great storyteller. I wish he was my grandfather, just listen to Grampa McCartney talk about the old days...
I can listen to Paul's stories all day! love it
Tina C Same stories over and over again.
That would be great!!
jetnut89 exact thought i had in my mind :D:D
+jetnut89 holy cow! Imagine if Paul McCartney was your grandfather. Paul. McCartney. Grandpa. Just... that would blow my mind
R.I.P John Lennon and George Harrison, Jimmy and Jemima

Good one! 👍

Lol 🤪😁
This is the fifth time I've heard him tell this story and I still laugh at it.
me too
I wonder if it’s true
its hard to tell,paul makes it up as he goes!!!!!
@@erickaufmann4839 no he doesn’t. He tells the truth while occasionally fudging up the details.
@@ewest14 YES HE DOES MORON,OPEN YOUR EYES,FOOL!!!!!!

HA.
+Lenny Mata You mean 2 spiders killed by two cool cats who were two beatles.

I miss George Harrison..
me too :(
Chloe D'ORSO I
Yeah I miss him too
And John and Paul also.
Me too.
Wow what a great story! And you can see that Paul is very fond of this memory, he looked very happy remembering and telling it.
At the end of the day Macca is just like any other guy you'd meet down the street or in a bar. A regular scouser who never forgot his routes. He is a great man.
routes?
@@ZaveAres I guess OP meant to write "roots," which makes more sense instead of "routes."
@@ZaveAres I kinda like "routes"...like he never forgot the roads he travelled or something like that...it's one of those happy accidents...

My two favorite Beatles: George and Paul.
Mario pookster, my favorite Beatles are Paul and George.
Count me in✋
Same
Me Too
Me too 👍
I Know he is holding tears, I can see it on his eyes :(
He holds back tears when he talks about John, not George.
@@gretchennelson7056 Don't be weird
@@gretchennelson7056 pienso que recordará cuando le dejó a George una casa para que pasara sus últimos días con su familia alejado de los médios.
I can see it in his ONE eye....
They were kids. Way before there fame. They had no clue what was to come. It’s a beautiful friendship story
Paul McCartney is the man
My Favorite Bassist
I sometimes wonder how Paul has managed to keep going. He lost his mother, then linda, and then John, and then George, all one right after the other.
Well I mean he is the richest rockstar of all time and loved, adored and idolised by millions around the globe, but oh yeh poor Paul
@@JohnWilson-qy8en You say that as if being idolised is a blessing
RPOW11 well I mean it’s better than being on benefits like the majority of working class people are gonna be after corona
Also lost The Beatles
@@JohnWilson-qy8en money doesnt solve your feelings. it doesnt detract your emotions. i cant believe you think all because hes famous means that it doesnt hurt to loose a bunch of your friends and family
Man, to me, the saddest day in the world is gonna be when Paul calls it a career. No more music, no more live concerts. That's gonna be a real sad day for me. Love ya Paul.
@@clintkantor you’re right on👍🏼👍🏼
I think he'll only be stopped by ailments that come with old age because if he's still going now then i doubt he'll want to stop
10 years later we are still scared.
No the saddest day in the world will be Paul McCartney’s passing. Yeah it would be sad if he retired but at least he’d still be with us
Paul’s not ever going to formally retire, it’s not in his blood. Remember he was the one who kept the Beatles together for an extra few years after they stopped touring and Epstein died. Everyone else kinda fell off after that. Not to mention the songs released after John’s death, particularly Now and Then, are testaments to Paul’s perseverance and persistence. He ain’t retiring until he takes his last breath. And that will be a truly sad day
What a rich and full life Paul has had. Amazing.
All in a mere 24 years.....
Glad Paul remembers the good times with George. Things were tense between them after the Beatles got big. They almost never spoke in the 1970's. They had an on-again, off-again friendship in the 80's. But working together on the Anthology projects in the 90's brought a closeness. There was even reports that George asked Paul to help him with a few tracks on the album that would later be "Brainwashed". Sadly, George died before he and Paul could work on those tracks.
Why did this make me tear up?
Because of everything a person seeks to achieve or thinks will make them happy,
it’s the simple things that we remember,
funny situations, good times, no-money fun.
“Life’s what happens when you’re busy making other plans”,
as a certain wise man once said...
It depends. Are you a spider?
"In Spite Of All The Danger" was one of the first songs ever recorded by The Quarrymen, and it was co-written by Paul and George.
Or was it 'In Spider Of All The Dangers'. I'll get me coat.
@@Kevin-jh8nx It was a song about Jimmy and Jemima
Each of the Beatles had/have incredible wit. None were boring, but together? Like the Marx Brothers! Combine that with musical genius and you have the greatest band of all time.
Paul is so funny! I could listen to him speak all day
But then you would have to unlearn all the lies he have been telling people.
Yeah, like I'm really PAUL. @@olskzeri1476
God bless The Beatles. I can't and wouldn't want to imagine a world without them.❤️
McCartney is one of the great storytellers to come out of the 20th century. Not only because of what he got to live, but because it's innate in him, instead of just preaching or telling jokes like other Beatles he can just make you sit in awe for hours with his tales.... just listen to his songs and lots of them are little stories.
"WE" - the collective world - need to record every story Paul has to tell. He's a living world all-time icon, and needs to be archived for future generations.
just what his daddy Aliester crowely would want from his beloved son.
@@user-fu2mi1nd5lwhy do people think aliester crowely is his father its so funny to me. if this was the case paul would be over 100 years old
Paul and George killed the little lady's pet spiders...
OMG, what a riot!
Paul is such a wonderful person. All the Beatles were. No wonder we all love them so much.
Cynthia would like a word with you
@@ZaveAres Cynthia never said John was a bad person. In most of her two books she talks fondly of her memories with him.
@@johnp515 That shows that she's a class act, not that John was. It's good practice to never speak ill of others. John's actions of abandoning her and his first-born son speak for themselves.
Yeah I gotta interject that John wasn't the best of people, not a bad guy, but definitely not a wonderful person. I was just reading about Mal Evans and how close he was with the Beatles. When I read about his death(police shot him when he pointed an air rifle at them while high on valium) he was cremated and his remains were lost for a time while being mailed to his family, Lennon replied to inquires with: "They should have checked the dead man files" that just bothers me...
@@AetheriusLamia no hay que juzgar a nadie si no te ves en su misma situación y aún así no hay que juzgar.
I could listen to this stuff for hours
i think so too. that's one of the things i like about Paul. he'll never quit his music until he literally can't! that passion is a thing to admire in my opinion. :)
Paul is clearly missing beatles days
Debbie Smith I'm 18 and nearly all of my friends love the Beatles. I don't know who these people are who are not clapping, but it's not that only people who grew up with beatlemania at the time love Paul McCartney.
Debbie Smith they mean a lot to me too. Their music is the soundtrack of my life, I listen to it everyday :)
He has no choice but to tell the stories. It's the only thing people want to hear about. What's he supposed to do....
Debbie Smith who are you to say he can't sing and he shouldn't that and he should do the other. You do what you love until you don't, or until you die. You don't have to go. You don't have to buy the records and you don't have to go the shows. And you don't have to watch this video or,post comments. You can just go and let the people who like it enjoy it. But because it's the internet, you don't. You stay to make comments that will change nothing and you invite disagreements and on and on. You go!
@@picassoboy52 I grew up with the Beatles and it's a fact that Paul McCartney's voice today is a shell of what it used to be. There's nothing wrong with that though! He loves to perform still and we all love to hear him. We all get older. I get, however, how some who don't have the connection with him that modern fans and those that grew up with him have might not have the understanding of what a true legend he is and was.
I’ve watched this too many times to count and it never gets old. I could listen to him talk (and play) all day. Protect McCartney at all cost. 💙🙏🏽
Paul really gives it his all communicating his love for the Beatles and each member.
Paul is a very uplifting person, I appreciate that about him so much.
I would love some form of series of just Paul and Ringo walking or driving around Britain telling stories of different places they went to.
But that was before "Sir Paul's" (William) time.
@@olskzeri1476 todos sabemos que siempre vas a criticar a Paul.
What's fantastic to see, as the uploader, is all of my fellow Beatle fans still going strong and bringing views to this video. The Beatles will forever live on through people just like us. Best wishes to all of you.
I have been trying to prepare for the inevitable day when Paul's time is up and I cannot escape the fact that it will be the saddest day in my life. I will almost certainly just go sit in my favorite chair, listen to his music for hours, perhaps days, and bawl my eyes out. Actually, I quite almost hope I die first.
Still alive?
This comment is almost 10 years old but Paul is still with us going strong!!! ♥️
That was my exact day when we lost George Harrison. I lived that day in memorial to him the best I could. I found a cozy spot and listened to his tunes all day. I don't think they'd want us to be sad, they'd just want us to keep appreciating life and good music where we can find it.
Jimmy and Jemima... wow, it's amazing how he remembers all that!! paul's an amazing story teller... In the words of the immortal Lennon, "I could listen to him for hours!"
Long live Paul and Ringo. RIP George and John
I wish we could get more stories like this. Instead of the same old fables over and over. This stuff is priceless.
paul and george were probably cool dudes to hang-out with....
Such a master at telling stories.
Billy been weaving stories since 1967.
I became emotional there. You know, how Paul recalled it all and that to remembering tye names.... and that "oh my god" in the end. Everything about them takes me back to their old times. It's like when I see them anywhere, I go on a _magical mystery tour_ with them. Got me emotional yeah...
This story is amazing for me not because I'm a massive beatles and Paul McCartney fan it's my 2 kids are called Jimmy and jemima couldn't believe it when he said the names of the spiders, love it proper coincidence
Paul should still be brought up on charges for the brutal slaying of Jimmy & Jemima. Arachnids have rights.
this is so sweet! i LOVE the part about the spiders. That made me smile. George was incredible
Now Jimmy is George's pet, Jemima's still waiting for Paul.
Tomás Orellana or George is Jimmy's pet while Jemima is still waiting for Paul to be her pet. 😂
yeah? Well she can just go on waiting! We're not letting him go.
why did this made me actually cry girgoijreigreijhuiwe
As a Welshman I have now named the two spiders in my bathroom Jimmy and Jemima.
Precious times never to be 🙏 forgotten...
I remember when BRIAN EPSTEIN died. That was a sudden shock for everyone as well. I was 16 at the time & I thought it was beautiful of Paul to show up at Brian's funeral (or memorial) wearing a long rainbow-colored scarf wrapped around his otherwise dark, somber-looking suit. I took it at the time as a statement of "LIFE GOING ON" or "the soul emerging from death as a jewel-tone butterfly, released from earthly bondage." Paul TRIES not to be too deep, but he has a deep side that fans always got.
♥️♥️♥️♥️
The Beatles were hard men who all had tough lives but they had heart. You can see it in their thousands of videos and that’s why we love them. Even now.
19 years without George today, may he rest in peace
Wonderful musician, singer, songwriter, and just stellar bassplayer. So versatile and razor-sharp. They just dont make's like that anymore. One of a kind and a reminder that music is more than singles om spotify or commercials. Kids these days have no clue. They think "i feel good" was made as jingle for cornflakes. Just saw the other day that "Take on me " was used in The Leftovers and all the comments were like this oi youtube : The leftovers brought me here. People don't know their own music history anymore, It makes me sad. Just watered out nonsense in the same two chords in all pop music these days. At least Jeff Beck, Tom Waits, Al Di Meola is still around. Some really good players like Hiromi has come along. Seems like there is still hope!
This man is a true legend
Dear Paul and George: So glad you are now famous and all! Do ye mind popping the room fee in the post? 3 and 6.
I love Paul's friendship stories! He's got that sparkle of love for his mate be it George as here) or John) in other vids ....Such a legend & great friend & mate
I love this story, it cracks me up everytime.
I can´t get enough of this wonderful story. Love it.
Awww. That is such a cute story Paul told. The spiders named Jimmy and Jimima. I'm laughing as well as being teary eyed due to his memories of George and the great times they've had together.
it easy to think of Paul as Sir Paul the refined English gent but at his concert he got to talking about the old days and I realized he's still a cool guy and a bit of a rebel. He told stories about getting high with Jimmy Page and playing jokes on Clapton and hanging with Hendrix. Paul is still the rebel kid from gritty , tough Liverpool
This is one of the funniest beatle related videos in existence. Would be awesome to hear a recording of George telling it haha
We miss you George & John, R.I.P.
Paul was great in this doco. He was real. Talking of friends and life when it was precious and pre-frame. Well done. this wasn't in the doco I saw, but it must have been in te extras. Great story.
You must have missed a few brilliant albums. Paul McCartney continued to write and record some spectacular songs in the early to mid 1970s.
His work in the 2000s has been fantastic too.
@@yes2day100 -- I don't know if I would agree that his later work is "fantastic" but he's definitely create some more good songs and is always a beloved talent! Funny, my comments on this page were from 9 years ago and must have been in response to comments that are no longer here. I was clearly responding to someone's opinion about McCartney albums. I would have thought my comments would disappear if the original post was gone.
When asked about what he would of done if The Beatles hadn't happened George said I think I would of still of been with Paul playing music somewhere, I think that was very telling Paul did seem to loose sight of George when he got together with John and George must of been hurt by it, but he never forgot he was Paul's friend first. God Bless George.❤️
Well this absolutely breaks my heart 😭💔
George and "Sir Paul" (William) didn't grow up together.
To my children and Aleque. What a great interview with Paul Mc Cartney on
We are happy together. We listen to the Beatles music and love them since the dawning of rock and roll.
Love, Moniquehelene
The twins are 21 days old.
We won't get FOOLED again!
It’s amazing how much of The Beatles history has come to light maybe decades after they were famous, it’s almost like these little items were meant to be found to celebrate the depth of our knowledge etc. This little tale of Paul and George shows they were really good friends from early teens and despite all the stress of being ‘Beatles’ and all the fallout in the 70’s they were still friends, just look at the start of the new video of Now and Then. Paul could do another anthology with Ringo on all the things left out on previous Anthology
You can tell they will always be friends.
George and William were not friends.
Amazing how these Fools on the Hill still believe what ole Billy has to say. his pappy is so proud of his son.@@olskzeri1476
This warms my heart.
i wish paul was my dad 😞
+Thomas Martin i wish paul was my husband :(
i wonder how it is to be paul's wife tbh... i mean, it sounds really cool to even know a man like him, a genius... so spending your whole life with him sounds really appealing tbh
I wish Paul was my neighbour. Like to jam all day.
:)
"i wish paul was my dad" I knew a friend of Mary's, apparently Paul intimidates her some and very genuinely cares about her. George intimidated Dhani, too. Maybe that situation kind of naturally comes with the parent having a ridiculous amount of power.
You and me both honey
I wish he was my son.
Miss John and George. Screw Chapman, and screw cancer.
The word Legend can barely describe their greatness!!!
What is scary to some are peaceful to others and "Jimmy and Jemima" are the best example of what is scary to some people , is regarded as harmless by others . Well told Sir Paul! It's a great story for him to remember.
God brought them together. there Love songs and them being funny helped us in the 60's.... we didn't think of the war so much...
Seems Paul always talks about George with such love and high regard, whereas I've never heard George say a nice thing about Paul..
+redletter2008 yet Paul went to school with George and Paul got George into the Beatles. Without Paul its unlikely we'd hear of George haha
I guess that's just how it is, Paul just played a beneficiary role in Georges life.
i dont think George was afraid of John, remember he doesnt mention him in his autobiography. Also his resentment with Paul maybe is after Epstein died and in that time Paul was a freak control everyone in the band resented him
redletter2008 well Paul was the only one who could read music and play multiple instruments. He could have recorded all the songs alone and in fact did a few times haha
John could only play a ukulele when the band formed, I'm not surprised haha
Seems like ego, better to accept that Paul is the musical genius and dynamo among them i think. Not every band has someone like that.
There might be a better sound when everyone is involved, but if people can't get organized quickly enough..
George didn't have much good to say about Paul cos Paul frequently dismissed George and would put him down. In my opinion The Beatle who had the consistently better material post Beatles was George. He was a bloody good singer/songwriter and a damn fine guitar player.
When I think of how all of the Beatles music still is so relevant and beautiful and how literally millions, maybe billions, still love their music. How sad we are at John and George's passing, it made me ponder about the emptiness we'll all face when, Ringo,and Paul pass. I don't believe there are men on this earth that will be missed or loved as much as those who made up the Beatles. Their music was full of love, passion, the joys of life. Now, the music coming from man if not most bands is full of hate, ugliness, drugs, references to Drugs, death, cheating on our,spouse, promiscuous sex, rampant negative emotions, etc. perhaps this is why today's music will never be long lasting like the Beatles. We have so much hatred and depravity in today's world, what is there to sing about? It can really be,depressing at times. Thank you BEATLES and all the musicians who sing about and promote love in the world, who do not fear making reference to God, Christ, and their love that has influenced the love and goodness in this world and not the negative, we see enough negativity.
I love sir paul. He is really greatest singer, composer. From nancy padilla
I would buy a CD of Paul just Whistling and it would still be great!
Same, lol
i needed a great story
Awww paul what a gem he was my fav
Oww, poor Paul, he seems to be choking with tears, sad but sweet!
No sane person would say George was a better singer.
I miss George :(
Paul McCartney 👍🏼🎺🎻🎷🎶🎤🎸🥁🎹
Alguien debiera traducir estas entrevistas para facilitar su comprensión a los seguidores de habla hispana. Muchos se quedan sin conocer la historia que hay detras de lo que dicen estos genios.
Duolingo, Babel, escuelas de idiomas... se puede aprender Inglés 👍
Paul and George. Spider murderers!!!
As a country girl..l laugh to think they were scared of "daddy long leg" spiders lol😀 Great story. xo
Harrison was all tapped out after 'All Things Must Pass'.
I've never heard that spider story. That is HILARIOUS.
George & Paul ❤️
R.I.P. Jimmy and Jemimah... oh, well.
I could talk to this guy all day.
Awww Jimmy and Jemima!!
THE SOUND EFFECTS WHEN HES EXPLAINING HOW HE HIT THE SPIDERS😭
And there are people who think this isn't Paul McCartney!
Because William is not Paul McCartney.
Hay personas que solo creen tonterías, de hecho no creo que les guste The Beatles, simplemente comentan la frase típica de Paul y en todos los comentários hacen lo mismo, aburren.
Sounds good reminds me of a trip to Wales me and a friend had.
That was a great story, it made me smile.
Jimmy and Jemima sounds like a great name for a song
Well told and hilarious story!
When you are as old as Paul and I, you come to realize that death is a part of life and you move on. If you live long enough, you are going see a lot of friends and love ones expire, if you don’t that means you are no longer here.
What a treasure.
