I love this one

Sebastian Maharg That's a very good point Sebastian!

George had his hair pretty long for most of the 70's and 80's. It was longer than Paul's for many years. Even the interviewer's hair is longer than Paul's is here but I think that Paul cut it short for the Pipes Of Peace video.

Paul hair( or hur as George Harrison pronounced it ) is so short here he looks more like his Spitting Image puppet!

The early part of the eighties, after wings had stopped touring and he was only singing in the studio, his voice was probably at an all time high.

'was' a great vocalist?

Is a great vocalist 🎵😊

Jimbobjim jim well...... mmmm.... Paul was.... dead..... and Billy was ...... who knows...

@@hernanarielberti8894 shut the fuck up !

Looking every day of it and Wow! Really? Respectively.

@@hernanarielberti8894will you stop with this bullshit, grow up man….

YES

Who wouldn"t! ❣🤭

Todd Drummer Only when is hair falls out!

He had his hair cut that short for the Pipes of peace video

When Linda had cancer and lost her hair due to chemo I believe, Paul cut his hair short to show sympathy and solidarity with his very ill wife. Otherwise, no, The Beatles started the long hair thing and he's pretty much always sayed with that look. It is notable though that he made a video featuring him on the battlefield for this song and he had the short hair of a soldier, so maybe that's why he cut it short?

Looks like the same haircut he had before they all got their Beatles cut

Potter.

I think Paul had it cut like that as to portray the WW I British soldier in the video

Just a theme. Nothing to do with McCartney.

chenlung1 Well the record came out 1983 so I would say it was about then, but it's all a long time ago.

Fry Pan Music According to Wikipedia the album was 17 October 1983, whilst the single was weeks later, on 5th December. It was when Russell mentioned Christmas I wondered, but regardless, thanks for uploading!

chenlung1 At the end of this interview pipes of peace video is shown but copyright wouldn't let me continue.

He had a short back and sides for the Pipes of Peace video

83/84 was the heart of the preppie/yuppies haircut. He barely went there though. Lasted for like a month. The only time he had short hair like this.

sebastian errazuriz no that’s a John something.

John Hammel

I think he said “normally” not “nobody”, which would change the meaning of that sentence a lot

AIR Studios--London. It is now Niketown (4th. Floor). I was just there. The associates probably thought I was crazy soaking up the moment from my hero's recording space😂

No

🙄

Get out from Paul McCartney! You re idiots who believe this absurd

You right Jennifer the man in the video is not the real Paul mccartney - however it is not Billy either. What so many people get wrong is how many replacements were there. Yeah William might have been and might still be the main replacement but there were a couple other guys who were brought in shortly after him to play the role of Paul. And trust me when you compare Billy's pictures with theirs they look nothing alike. They all look like Paul to a certain degree but they don't look like each other at all. From 1966 to 2009 the role of Paul Mccartney was played by 3 different people. The guy in the video is Frank C. He was one of the 2 doubles that were brought in after William, and he looked the most like Paul out of the 3 of them. He had a round face as you can see, thin arched eyebrows, brown eyes and a small nose. That's how you can tell him when it's him posing as Paul. William has a long narrow head, long thin nose, green eyes and an elongated chin, that's what you'll need to look our for when you're looking for pictures of him as Paul. While Pete the last replacement to have been brought in, has a shorter face than William, blue eyes and a quite robust looking nose which appears slightly beaked from the side. They were around until quite recently. Frank quit in 00 while Pete quit in 09, William has been the lone Faul since then

FAKE PRESIDENT this is not 1979

If he is 41 here, and he was born in 1942. It would have to be about 1983 then.

War time!

No-mans land 1914.

I'm one!

"Faul" as you call him played on Sgt. Peppers, The white album, Abbey road, and Let it be. And he wrote Penny Lane, Hey Jude, Let it be, The long and winding road, and Blackbird. Not bad for a stand in right?

Omg shut the fuck up !!!!!

You are stupendously ignorant. Also, you insult Paul, his family, the other Beatles, George Martin, every fan in the world and desecrate the Beatles massive contribution with crazy lies like this. You have no evidence to support this crap, and are too naïve to even see how absurd you are. False rumors are dangerous things...they hurt people, yet you spew it forth without ever considering the ramifications. You are the very worst kind of troll...limited intelligence, easily manipulated by sensationalism and mindlessly active in perpetuating myth. You should be ashamed...and your comment disgusts me.

@@yellyman5483 Exactly...these lowlife losers are a disgrace. It is beyond impossible for a stand-in to replicate Paul's one of a kind genius, yet they claim this...oh, and then the stand in goes on to evolve musically far and wide from early Paul, just as you say. I hate this rumor..it is offensive to the entire human race. It's about stealing the joy we all feel about the Beatles..it's reprehensible.

These 'Paul is dead' morons are the most vulturine, ghoulish people around. To even entertain this shit any longer after John & George's passing is repugnantly maudlin. Their 'evidence' is contrived, try hard lunacy. A Paul's Corpse?! Fucking seriously? Who talks like that anyhow. It's like the backmasking horse dung from the 80's they tried to pin on metal bands; the things they claim is being said would never ever be uttered in normal English conversation. It's like the QAnon batshits or flat Earther's; they've ruined any legitimate discussion of conspiracies. Because there have been legitimate conspiracies in history, the JFK Assassination being one, but you cannot discuss it without being called a tin hat...thanks to duncecaps like this. Eat fewer boogers.

World war one!

McCartney's always been a known slurper...lol

And oriental noodle slurpers.

Is it not ready him?

That old snore

It was Paul’s song... not George’s.

First world war haircut for the video.

Kentoxymoron .... Do you realise how ridiculous you and your ilk sound? By the way, you have the right name, it really suits you ....

I thought I was the only one who noticed. They apparently do this with all of the musicians, replace them. It has to do w money first and another agenda. They wear fake teeth. Look at the retaining line on the bottom teeth you can sometimes see it on the top teeth .look on Google images of before during and after a musician his career they all look different and sound different

You don't need to talk about things you have no idea about. All you are is a part of the daily public who don't know how the other half lives. You have no idea what you are looking at and I do. And so do the sharp minded

Minecraft Caleb plays Crayfish and of course you are an expert! We should bow to your supreme knowledge! Apologies for having an opinion that you don’t agree with!

telstar1957 yes I may look ridiculous but you win with the most stupid and idiotic name and comments
