It seems like it's almost cool to "hate" Paul sometimes, the Paul Is Dead weirdos don't help.

not-a-medical-Dr Jessica Taylor monetising the Russell Brand and David Walliams news is disgusting. She forced her vulnerable employees to sign an NDA to stop them whistle blowing. She threatened survivors of sexual abuse to sue them for “every single one of their assets” if they spoke up. She is one of the most dangerous people in the VAWG sector and does so much harm to women and girls.

I honestly think that in the Pantheon of composers, Paul McCartney is up there with Bach, Mozart, Mahler and Beethoven
Sadly you’re right, whereas it’s really it’s cool to love and appreciate him.
Also Reverend sorry for the wrong initial reaction to your post
Although to be fair there have definitely been doubles used which also muddies the waters.
Do you think he sent a double regarding the DNA test to establish paternity of a German woman? Was there also someone in France?
He’s definitely used doubles in videos
The video for "Wonderful Christmas Time" is the best example of this when two doubles are in the same shot facing each other.
There was also all that stuff about his fingerprints not matching when he got arrested in Japan.
I know he used Lawrence 'Macca' Gilmour in his 'No Other Baby' video back in 1999 because I don't think Lawrence ever shut up about it. I'm not sure how happy Paul was about that either!
He did! Couldn’t use him now as LG looks more like Bruce Springsteen these days. He wasn’t musically that gifted either. Neil Tudor was another, he was backed by Höfner who revoked that as he was pretty nasty and pretty racist.
Oh god, Neil Tudor was terrible. He was always perving on women young enough to be his daughters too. Had a mate that used to promote him and she eventually had to stop because he was chasing her. None of those guys were musically inclined, it was that they happened to look like Paul did in the 1990s.

See also Gary Gibson. First time I saw him someone threw a thong on stage, he picked it up, sniffed it and said I know who this belongs to. I did everything in my power to never see him again. He and Lawrence did a tour together, how that happened I don’t know
There's a lot of Beatle tribute acts out there that are absolutely awful in many ways. The problem with them is a large portion of them think the people coming to see them are THEIR fans and not the Beatles. This gets further confused when some of these young girls are looking through the rose tinted glasses and seeing these guys who are pushing 60 playing 20 year olds as John, Paul, George and Ringo and want to be groupies. I have a mate who played Paul in a couple of Beatle bands. He was actually in his 20s and decently looked and sounded like him. Even is left handed! This sent all the young teenage Beatle fans into a frenzy which caused many of the older, sad arsed wig wearing tributes to throw their toys out of the pram when he played with them. He had to leave it all behind because it was just nuts and he didn't want to turn into that frustrated musician playing Beatles songs and seeing the young girls getting younger. He has a few stories about the tribute scene too that absolutely wreck my head!
Sounds awful for him. I love the Beatles (otherwise I wouldn’t be here
) and I like going to see tribute bands, but thankfully I’ve never confused them with the real JPG&R. It’s just nice going hear a band playing the music. Shame on the ones who take advantage of the young people (girls mostly) admiration. I knew someone who liked sleeping with people in tribute bands, but sadly that included married/engaged/non single guys. If both parties had been single, go for it. I felt for oblivious significant others often miles away back home
I've seen the Bootleg Beatles twice. They seemed decent. Andre (George) was telling the audience to go ahead and take pics/film after the ushers were telling everyone off for doing it.
I’ve never heard anything bad about the Bootlegs. Andrea and Paul Cooper dying is sad. I think Neil, their original John, still works behind the scenes. Not every member of every tribute band is a bad person, but there are some horrors. Same as there are some bands you think how do you make any sort of career out of this.
The Bootlegs will be getting a new Paul soon won’t they
Neil really looked and sounded like John. Adam was similarly good. I think he joined a Beatles tribute band in the US. They've just announced Miles Frizzell as the new Paul. I don't know him so not sure if he is any good. But they have high standards so he probably will be.
Oh I have to chime in here and say I never heard anything bad about the Bootlegs or the Fab Four, which are the US tribute Adam Hastings joined.
Ah I wondered what happened with Adam. I think most people in the bands are fine people, but the horrors are horrors!
I was reading this interview with Dhani Harrison and it struck me that his expression belies the headline
Lately, he had been dressing in oversize clothing and his face is mostly in shadow when he is being photographed in concert. It's as though he wants to hide. I wonder if he has stage fright.
