The fictional death of Paul has been going for decades now. And the stories always change. One site claims there are recordings of him in a car with a lady, and they were arguing. Causing the wreck. Interesting that technology like that was available in the later part of the 60's. Soon we will see video from hidden cameras in the car. I imagine a huge amount of money has been made from that whole work of fiction. Paul lives on. The End. Even now. When I see and hear Paul I can still see that young master in his voice, his sense of humor and his magnetic personality. I had a dream once that I was having lunch with Paul and Linda. We were all pals. Hilarious 😂 but very cool.

Hey Fil, the four Beatle characters were actually created by Tavistock in conjunction with EMI Records. The original actor/musicians to play them were Colin Unwin as John Lennon, John Halliday as Paul McCartney, Terry Johnson as George Harrison and Mark Graves as Ringo. Over the years, the original actors were gradually replaced, the big one being John Halliday being replaced by Tara Browne in late 1964 as Paul. It was actually Tara Browne that was killed in a car crash in 1966, and this event is well documented in the British mainstream media. Browne was replaced by Billy "Shears" Shepherd in 1966 as the new Paul and continues to play the role to this day. Colin Unwin as the original John Lennon, was replaced in 1968 by an actor/musician named Mark Staycer as the new John Lennon. The Lennon assassination was actually a staged event. The four Beatle characters never existed as real people, Mark Staycer has also continued to play the "John Lennon" impersonator role until very recently!

John laughs at him and is quickly ushered away. All of them had doubles. Not all could actually play instruments and perform.

Playing left handed can be learned, a right handed bass player learnt to play left handed for a Beatles tribute band. Would you happily give up 'artistic recognition' for £1 Billion? And who is to say that he writes those songs, at the very least he may have had a little help from his friends. If you look at Paul's career his only successes have had George Martin's involvement, Live & Let Die, Pipes Of Peace and the list goes on. Paul McCartney never looked at the bass while playing live, post 1966 he continually does so. Complicated bass on albums, simplified bass playing live. Photographs can't be compared, too easily manipulated. Italian forensics team set out to prove that it was all a hoax but were shocked to find many discrepancies. Not necessarily agreeing that he was replaced to continue the £ trillion business that is the Beatles just being devils advocate.

"If you look at Paul's career his only successes have had George Martin's involvement, Live & Let Die, Pipes Of Peace and the list goes on." Utter tripe. Paul produced all Wings albums with no help from George Martin. George helped to produce the song Live & Let Die but that's all as far as Wings goes.

One thing that has always struck me as odd about the Paul is dead hypothesis: After the Beatles got popular, every music company out there were looking to find something or someone that could be "the next Beatles" and noone noticed this man that made such great songs, played equally well and had an incredible voice. It looked like The Beatles must have been the only one that did. Another interesting fact, given that he is an imposter, is of course that Mike McGear made a solo album in 1974 with the guy that stole his inheritance and his brother's place and still call him his brother and by his borther's name, make music with him, sings with him and uses his band as musicians. Mike didn't have to make that album, could have used other musicians, etc. No he did it because he love his living brother.

I had someone comment about how much volume I could get without moving my arm. The way Paul plays seems perfectly natural to me.

And the song Too Many People pissed him off too, as he saw it as an attack on him, So...being this pissed off, John would surely have blurted out the truth regarding Paul/Faul not being the real deal.

Yeah you’re right. If you look at Fil’s video presentation closely it doesn’t really help that you can also see that McCartney is looking remarkably thinner than the other Beatles to the point that he looks stretched and squashed.

[@niemann3942]

Another point: If you look at very closeup photos of Paul, he has the same arrangement of small moles and birthmarks, all the way from the Hamburg days, through the early 60s, through the late 60s, through the 70s and 80s ... even up to today. You have to look closely, because no one would really notice them otherwise, but they're there and consistent. I put up a number of photos once focusing on a sort of triangle of birthmarks that are right next to his nose on his left side, and two on his throat on the left side. If I could post photos here, I'd add them. One "Paul died" person insisted that was just a sign of the plastic surgery they did on "Billy" to make him look like Paul. I could only reply, "So they went to the minute, excruciating detail of adding a lot of subtle, almost invisible birthmarks that probably no one would notice ... but it didn't occur to them that "Billy" was four inches taller?"

[@louisb5563]

😰Whew, I'm glad that's all cleared up! 😁 Wee! Sir James Paul lives! 👍🏻😄 As a bass player, I say Paul probably didn't look at his bass earlier in '63/'64 because the notes were simple and not as complex as 1966 onwards. He DID chip a tooth, reportedly, on Boxing Day '65 and you can see it on the film for the song "Rain"; eventually he had it fixed! Good fun Fil!👍🏻

I kind of bought into either the Paul is dead or retired theory after following Mike Williams 'Sage of Quay' You Tube Channel. Some things I have trouble getting past: 1)pre 1967 Paul had brown eyes, post 1967 Paul has green eyes. 2)Around the same exact time the switch supposedly happened the Beatles announced no more touring and no more public appearances. 3)The abundant album clues which have been explained away as coincidences or publicity stunts. They seem too numerous and intentional to be coincidences and it's hard to understand why the most popular band in the world would try to make the public believe half their songwriting team is dead. While I appreciate Fil's analysis, I have heard audio tracks isolated before of Paul pre 1967 vs. late 70's where the voices sound totally different performing the same song. The new voice much higher pitched and the old voice deeper. The speaking voices appear different to me also when viewing older vs. newer press conferences. I'm not 100% convinced either way, but it's fun speculating.

[@surfrunnerd8457]

@@nthdegree1269 you hit one of the nails on the head as to why it's so hard to pin this "conspiracy" down on one side or the other. Things like eye color and skull shape typically don't change. But as in anything in life, we can always try to apply some "reasonable" explanation (the old 'its the wind' when something starts moving on its own in a quiet non windy room). One reason for Wired Magazine's conclusion that there was a switch was the skull shape. Original Paul round and cherub. New Paul elliptical ("You let your face grow long"). I honestly don't believe we'll ever ever know for sure because I suspect even if the current Paul said he was a replacement and even if he provided DNA evidence most people would not believe it. I think we tend to defend our beliefs whatever they are and tend to explain away what we don't want to believe. The theory, however, goes that Paul was more than likely in a car crash (although he had talked of retiring from the Beatles in the prior 2 years) and the Beatles handlers, more than anyone else, went into a mad panic. Half the songwriting team gone, one of the 2 primary vocalists gone, how could the money train keep going. A gentleman who had been in a Beatles copy band called Billy Pepper & the Pepperpots bore a striking resemblance, had far more formal musical training, knew the Beatles personally, and even wrote a book about the Beatles in 1964 published by Bantam, seemed like a perfect replacement. They refined his appearance at one of the World's most renowned plastic surgery centers at the time in Kenya, announced no public appearances or touring for awhile to keep things under wraps. The surviving Beatles signed non disclosure binding legal agreements but thought they would set the historical record straight by planting clues in the music and album art. People caught on quicker to these clues than anticipated. Tension mounted between the new Paul and John as John missed his childhood friend dearly resulting in an eventual break-up of the band. That's somewhat the way the prevailing theory goes. One thing is for sure, I'm confident regardless of whatever happens in the future, the world will never know 100% certain either way.

I agree with you. Faul had plastic surgery on his facial features including his teeth. Actually, the two photos that Fil points to do show a difference in the nostrils. Faul's is more flared. Some analysis which folks have done shows a comparison of the ears. They are definitely different. And although Fil is comparing height here, there are many photos of the boys standing that show that pre-1966, Paul is shorter than John. Not so after 1966. People like us who take the time to do all of the research do find the truth. And there is a lot out there to be researched. Rumble seems to have more on this than KZbin.

Thanks Fil, I'll never buy into the those theories either. But one thing that I'm not on board about is that saying John Lennon's height of only 5'7"... Being a Beatles fan, I've read, or heard that he was 5'11" and that George and Paul were the same height. Using that computer technique to move Paul along side of John doesn't quite work for me, for one, their feet are not standing evenly on the floor of the stage and their own unique stances on stage would make Paul seem taller. But if watching any live performances with them on the same mic,(George too) they're relatively the same height. He wasn't shorter than Ringo at 5'8" and any pictures of them indicates Ringo was the short one of the group. Otherwise I agree with everything you said, Fil.

Great objective analysis and the first I've seen from a musician's perspective. The first I heard of the 'Paul is dead' theory was back in the 60s when it was mentioned on one of the pop radio shows (I think it was Kenny Everett, but it's a long time ago). A few days later Paul turned up at the studio and joined the presenter to explain that he really wasn't dead. That was pretty convincing to me! The other factor, as with most conspiracy theories, is the number of people who would have to be complicit. In this case, there's the other Beatles, their wives, girlfriends, family, circle of friends, etc. There's all Paul's own family; there's the Abbey Road staff, the band's roadies and crew; Brian Epstein and his staff who all must have known Paul reasonably well. Add to that all the people who were directly involved in the cover-up: police and paramedics who attended; pathologist and their staff; someone would have had to falsify a death certificate and other people would have authorised a burial or cremation without the legal certification. Any one of those people could have sold the story to the tabloid press for a large amount of money at any time up to the present day. Aside from the financial incentives, anyone with a grudge could have spilt the beans. John at one of his bitterest moments would surely have done so. No-one has ever done so.

But now, as an oldster American, I admit to a dark frustration over the slavish willingness of so many of my compatriots to believe in idiotic notions, from Trump's cruel and mindless blather to "Paul is dead." Logic and reason be damned. But as the American journalist H.L. Mencken wrote in 1926, "No one in this world...has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people."

I've agued the "looking while playing" point with people before. In the early 1960s Paul was playing more straightforward bass lines of the sort that he had been playing for thousands of hours on stage. Additionally each individual song would have been played multiple times before it was first filmed. Later on in the 1960s he started playing more complex parts at the same time as playing them far less often. It's not surprising that he might glance at the fretboard more often when playing more difficult parts with less practice.

John Lennon did seem to love back masking, but the biggest thing thing I thought about was what an amazing man the new McCartney had to be to pull this off. This new McCartney has to be more talented than the original, simply because of all the material he created after the Beatles broke up. This was the part I couldn't buy into. Anyone with this much talent would have been found because of the producers looking to make big bucks. There was something else going on at that period of time. Music producers were all looking for any white man who sounded like a black man. this was the holy grail at that time. Many were found by the way. Then you have the opposite. A black man who sounds like a white man. This was how Chuck Berry came up. He sounds like a white guy. His fans didn't know he was black until they saw him on the TV in 1959.
