I didn't want to click on it, I thought, ¨hey it´s Paul again, I've heard hours and hours of this guy talking in interviews over the decades.¨ Then I click on it and I'm hanging on every word, ´cause it´s Paul McCartney and he´s just a lovely, charming, bastard.

I once walked into a very small bar at Lee Studio's and there was Paul McCartney and Linda and Lee Remick, well my heart stood still and I left really quickly, they all laughed at my shyness, I was 21 I'm 66 now and it's still like a dream in my mind but it was real

I’m smiling like an idiot all through this interview. He’s so cute and funny & SMART ! Man, no wonder he’s a Beatle. They all had something special.

Ever the charmer... 40ish here, now 80!!? And still charming.

Greatest singer songwriter musician of all time

Paul is so right that when it comes to art and creativity, you need to satisfy yourself.

We're lucky to have had and still have this amazing man around for so long. I keep stumbling into old interviews like this and they're always incredibly insightful and earnest. Shame we lost John too soon as he was the same but I think part of him continues on vicariously through Paul. To have ~60 years of his documented personality and philosophy out there, in addition to his music, is a wonder.

What a dude ! Macca is the GOAT

Made me wonder if the live aid concert gave him back his confidence. Denny laine is quoted as saying he left wings because paul was too afraid to tour again after johns death. He never did tour again until after he performed at live aid and when he did, he started to include beatles songs in his set list. Must have taken a lot of courage to get back on stage

I adore this lovely man.

Paul Mc Cartney a World 🌎 Treasure

He’s so flirty with female interviewers. Always has been. So cute.

In all the interviews I watched him give, he always gives honest answers to the questions and interesting little asides. I remember him telling a story of when one of his small children first realised that he was famous. He was leading her on a pony in the Scottish hills and she said “Dad?” Paul said “yes?” His daughter asked “are you Paul McCartney?” Of course she’d always known him as just Dad up to that point!

i love Pauls interviews!!

Being a Brit he is a cool guy very bright & gave us so much growing up along with the bands & his music’ arrangements words it all in there ! Thanks Mate !

I love this man so much. I was 13 when they came to America. I have followed his career for 58 yrs. His music never disappoints! Gifted musician.

What a great interview! One of the best, I think.

"It's not so easy to play that guitar". That's so true. And plus writing songs.

Paul was on top form in the 80s. He looked great and seemed totally at peace with him self, he had nothing to prove so had this natural confidence which comes through in this interview. I think Paul was the most natural media beatle, he gives great interviews with unihibeted stories and one liners. Paul got the full package in genius level quantities! Suspect this interview was done at his St John's Wood home and the harmonium in the background featured on pepper?

Paul is a treasure. We definitely are blessed to still have him with us.

unbelievably attractive in body and mind!

Thanks for sharing! We are all so so lucky to be alive the same time as this beautiful human! In centuries to come people will dream of what it must have been like to have been alive when Sir Paul was alive or George, Ringo and John etc. I was only one when John passed but how thankful I am to have had George, Sir Paul and Ringo in my life. Incredible.

PAUL Is A Professional Entertainer for 60yrs 👑🌟♥️🇬🇧🇬🇧🌟💙👑

❤ Paul just makes my day

Good interview, interesting to hear him at difference phases of his life. There had been quite a gap when he didn't tour, so good for his family life

Such a talent

All you need is love. How beautiful! Thank you!

I love Paul.

Paul at full steam. Nice to watch.

You proved a million times over you were good Paul! I knew that as a 6-year old music connoisseur in '64. Of course, Elvis got my attention with Hound Dog and Blue Suede Shoes. I still remember singing and acting out those tunes. But then one day this phenomenal music and singing came out of the transistor radio that dear Santa delivered Christmas of '63. Although I loved lots of music and artists after that day, no one ever compared to The Beatles!

Paul is always relaxed when he is inteviewed in his MPL office

Love seeing these early interviews from the 80's. This was around the time Paul released Press To Play.

This is a very illuminating interview.

Great interview by my childhood hero

Paul, always the best

Someone wrote….Paul’s love songs..John’s truth…George had spirit and Ringo was peace….love, truth, spirit and peace…The Beatles

This Interview was FAB Covered It All ♥️♥️♥️♥️

The perfect man

Miss Linda, but she has a strong legacy

Live Aid should have been the Beatles doing their reunion set.

1 of the greatest guys to ever live.

Thank you. Blessed

How could You mind hanging out and just hearing his great stories?

M3 is a fab album !

I love him.

Roadies are the key to a great live performance. No doubt about it.

The interviewer is catatonic. Well done Macca for rising above the banality,,,!

I like the way they identified him at 4.44 :)

Muito gracioso o Paul sendo entrevistado , gentil e alegre

He's great. Love him.

handsome👏👏👏💖💖💖🆒

Top guy

Yes, brilliant! If you're referring to Paul McCartney

4:05. He answered (finally!) one of the questions I've always had about him, ever since I started learning guitar, decades ago. Does he actually practice guitar, like the rest of us? That is, does he look up chords in chord books, practice scales, practice the hard parts of songs, etc, - over and over, and day after day. He always makes it look so easy, as if he found his way around a guitar quickly, through sheer talent. I've always pictured him just noodling on the guitar to produce a new song, or have a bit of fun, and that's it for the day. There has always been a partial answer, provided by all the Beatles - the long hours in Hamburg were where they most developed their skills, so that was thousands of hours of guitar playing to build the technique. Well, at 4:05 we've finally got it! He says that many '70s group "couldn't actually play" and don't know their way around a guitar fretboard. "It's not that easy to play the guitar... it's difficult" he says and gives a quick demo of what a guitar play should be able to do, then adds "That can take twenty years". He doesn't mention "practice", but it's implied.

James Paul McCartney (Liverpool, Merseyside; 18 de junio de 1942)

Watching these 1980s McCartney interviews, I always get the feeling he's wishing John was there.

The Beatles still rules

I love you

This went well mostly because he genuinely fancied her. He had the charm factor turned way up.

his microphone went off because it was rumored that Yoko was less than 500 miles away. the yell "cut the mike!"

I wonder where this interview spot is - he's been recently interviewed in front of these stairs. Maybe MPL office?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

So play the piano, if probably sounded like being a Beatle ~ I was recording every feed in nyc & I didn’t let them mix it out of sync

I miss John Lennon ❤️❤️❤️

A little high I'd say.

Erinnere ihn mal bitte an seinen Fan aus Deutschland. Postcard is coming before his Tour. And please, please me, autograph for ,,the old ,not little girl,, in Hessen. Lg Ellen 😍

He looks like David Hemmings.

McCartney was much more open, funny and edgy in his 70s and 80s interviews. I think he has purposefully become more monotonous and square in recent interviews to avoid any controversy. So all this idea that Johnny was the fun one and McCartney was a boring square machine who just came up with catchy melodies is all a misconception.

7:43; hahaha. I wonder if the subtext of this is McCartney’s troubles with publishing and not owning all his own material.

"He thought I was hanging around with the wrong crowd," MCartney recalls of his dad's view of John Lennon (8:45). "And I was!" Brutal honesty and a touch of latent classism there perhaps, disguised as humor. He felt the need to do a little cleanup in his next breath.

He looks really high LoL 🤣🤣

my daughter loves your hair look. She bragged that it’s long in the back. We used to make fun or the boys. “Shlong” short & the rest in the long. I think Erik & the moody blues are dull.

He´s such a wonderful cheese salad.

Tara browne aka Paul mccartney

It’s not easy to play an instrument? I am not able to do that. I love that your wife and children love you.

I would have liked Jane to have interviewed Paul but she didn’t seem to like him or the Beatles. She was a bit nasty to Linda. It seems that her husband Garry introduced her to it. Which seems odd to me. She was old enough to know Beatlemania and her cohort girl were into it. When she was in Chicago, she didn’t interview him. I always wondered why.

Your mic went off & it was funny?

high as a kite.

I adore Billy.

Monitor wasn't working. He should've pulled an Elton John & threw a major tantrum!!!!

Not sure about how he portrays Linda here… like yep she’s ok and she cooks…

Billy Shears Interview

His name is Paul McCartney not Macca.

Billy's either 86 or 87 now & was born this month.Happy birthday Billy Beatle!

This interview proves once and for all that this Paul was the best Replacement Paul anybody could have hoped for after that sudden tragedy in Cheslewickstonminster. He has been with us longer, flown higher, and is still going. It's time we acknowledged that This Paul is the Real Paul McCartney (RPM).

P r o m o T I o n Band Tour

Ah Billy !!!!

@paulMcCartney 🤣

YLLIB

my little 3-year-old-girl is the same age as Beatrice. You & John were the “wrong” crowd? My daughter’s friends keep changing their pronouns. I DISAGREE I AM OPEN TO INTELLIGENCE.

Billy Shears

RANDY JUDAH TORREZ ❤️ < Billy Billy Billy 👍

Paul OR Faul ???

He's trying his best to speak with an American accent.

Don't care anymore. He played for Gates.

I thought the thumbnail was Richard Madely. I'm not that bothered about McCartney to be honest, or indeed the Beatles. Needless to say I won't be watching the video, sorry. It's neither what I was looking for nor the kind of video im interested in.

RANDY JUDAH TORREZ ❤️ < it's funny really, Billy looks nothing like Paul ✔️

Live Aid London was pompous, self congratulatory crap. It was like punk had never happened. The Philadelphia set was marginally less awful.

Now Tina can meet the real James Paul McCartney 💔🙏

Except for unheard stories about the Beatles, I don't think Paul has much to say.
