Did Paul McCartney ACTUALLY die in 1966? Let's find out through vocal analysis!

[@Redspeciality]

Such a stroke of luck for the 3 Beatles to find in a couple months someone who looked exactly like Paul McCartney, had his exact voice, was also one of the best bass players (left handed) in the world, and also a hugely talented composer. What are the odds?

Paul McCartney entered a Paul McCartney look-alike contest in London and lost to a guy named Billy Shears' I'm not sure how you could look more like a person than the person himself but if you google for an image of Billy Shears you will understand how it could happen. There will usually be a side-by-side comparison picture of McCartney and Shears. Remarkable likeness. He is an actual person who won the look-alike contest and he's the person they were referring to on the Sgt. Pepper album where Ringo sang the part.

[@HollyBluePlanet]

The faux Paul was not left handed, which is why they stopped doing live shows. He did learn how to play left handed, but there are reports of him playing right handed in the studio. What makes me think it could be true is that the song writing style changes drastically. Early Paul is a genius. Faux Paul writes dance hall tunes. I can't stand his songs. I can't stand Let it Be or Long and Winding Song. I hate that song writing. Sgt Pepper is NOT the same song writing as Revolver. I'm a song writer and I played in bars for years covering Beatle songs. I don't cover any songs after 1967 because I can't stand them. The early songs are so good that any musician who learns the chord changes on those songs is mind blown. It's almost impossible that they are that good. If you go over to my channel, you will find my song writing, which is greatly influenced by the early Beatles. The bridges change rhythm, and keys. They take a major B and turn it into a minor B in the key of G, and then use a Bflat 7th...really crazy stuff. It's almost more believable that the early songs were composed by classical musicians at the Tavistock Institute, another conspiracy. If that one were true, then the genius song writing would have continued. Sgt Pepper sucks. Sorry, but it's all dance hall tunes. Real Paul was a freakin genius and it must have totally broken John's heart when he died.

[@davidc5864]

@@HollyBluePlanet You make some good points and you obviously know a lot more about songwriting than I do but maybe the change was due to them having less time to focus on writing songs since their personal lives were becoming very chaotic due to their popularity, drugs and women as well as the death of Brian Epstein. George Martin comes on the scene and he loves the orchestra backing in a lot of songs, something that Mccartney disagreed with in most cases. Also Paul would go back home to visit his brother and father as well as aunts, uncles and cousins especially during the holidays and an impostor could not have fooled the family and childhood friends. I'm gonna check out your channel because I'm guessing you're pretty good. Oh, one last thing what do you think of Post Beatles Paul. The songs he wrote with wings.

[@Galantski]

@@John_Malloy Well, to begin with, the "Paul is dead" crowd cannot substantiate any part of their claims. As far as Paul being the sole writer of any song in The Beatles' catalog, I assume nothing. Along with their collaborative efforts, there are plenty of songs that can be unequivocally called "John alone" or "Paul alone" songs by the stylistic fingerprints found on them, but also from what is remembered at the time by them, and others in and close to the band. So, when John said in a 1980 interview of "Helter Skelter": "That's Paul completely," I tend to believe him. Remember, Lennon just as often disavowed any ownership of what he derided as "Paul's granny songs".

Two things. Firstly: Distinctly remember our house lodger in Bristol getting me to read an article back to him when I was very young. A single column on the right hand side of the inner pages of a local Bristol paper, reported Paul had died at the scene of an accident on the south bound of the M1 motorway into London in the early hours of a February morning, with a lady friend, both dressed in white, in a white Volkswagen beetle, after it reportedly hit black ice. No other traffic was involved. Searched to find the article online, but seeing as I don't know what newspaper it was, cannot find it. Second: Was going through regular plastic surgery to repair my harelip, became a young expert in telling the 'slightest' difference in facial appearance, my own face, other children on wards in hospitals as swellings went down, stitches removed. Noticed his face was longer, skin tone, nose tip & ears were different, biggest difference in the eyes, the cheeky sparkle had gone. Even his mannerisms, voice & personality was different, more serious & well behaved, no acting silly anymore. Also, the Beatles, let their hair & facial hair grow wildly. A disguise perhaps. Alleged reasons for allegedly replacing Paul, the Beatles were generating a lot of income for the treasury in tax income for Britain at the time, and, the 1966 World Cup was coming up in Britain, so was apparently to keep spirits in the country high, Harold McMillan quoting 'Britain has never had it so good!' Also at the time, was the big switch from b+w to colour television, so appearances could've been lost in peoples perception back then too. Remember the day our b-w tv caught fire, fire brigade came, so my Dad had to fork out £300 for a new colour 26" television. Yeay!

They just might have killed George when they had him shot, but then had his clone until they decided to kill him with Cancer from being a heavy smoker. He was a heavy smoker because of the evil he saw! They all did LSD because of the evil, but the LSD awoke them 🆙 and helped them to see more clearly about God our Christ! That’s why the evil ones said that LSD was against the law to use it! Nobody ever died from using that drug! Nobody ever did… Look up adrenochrome, it’s what the satanic elites everywhere in government, Hollyweird which we call pedowood, most of Hollywood are oedophiles and or Transgenders, like Leonardo Decaprio, Sandra Bullock, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Maniston, Courtney Cox, Lady Gaga, Madonna, so many others too ( it’s most of the time in their names. , all of the Kardashian daughters were born males! You’ll see soon enough. Everything will be coming out this year, 2022, the year of REVELATIONS. The truth will be revealed. There are over 900+ famous celebs in all walks of life industries that faked their deaths, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Michael Jackson,Prince, Tupac, Robin Williams, John Denver, Steve Irwin, Natalie Wood, Whitney Houston, her daughter Bobby Christina, Paul Newman, David Bowie, Freddy Mercury, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Bernie Mac, Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, Shirley Temple, Lucille Ball, Dale Earnhardt sr, even Jesse Presley was kept hidden from us because of his and Elvis’s bloodline. Oh and Elvis and Marilyn had a son, name is Julian Assange, yes the Wikileaks guy. They had to keep him a secret not just because of his famous bloodline, but because Marilyn Monroe was supposed to already be dead. Julian was born in 1971, conceived in 1970, Marilyn would have been in her 40’s, Elvis in his late 30’s. Julian actually looks like his Great grandfather Jesse Presley also known as John G Trump, yes Di lads uncle, neither of them were Trumps, Donald was born to Jean Gordon and General George Patton his birth parents, both were murdered in different ways. Patton before Donald was born and Jean Gordon when Trump was about 6 months old. He was actually born in December of 1945, not June of 1946, that was his adoption date by Fred and Mary Anne Trump. Even John G Trump is not a Trump or a Presley, he was born Tad Lincoln and was sent from America to Libya with his brother William Wallace Lincoln, William was adopted by the Muhktar royal family and his name was changed to Omar Muhktar who later became the famous freedom fighter there for his people there, they were both Abraham Lincolns sons, but even Lincoln was not born a Lincoln, he was born a Kahlooni from Libya. He was NOT an American by blood per say. Wait until you find out about the real ISRAEL , Bethlehem, etc. JerUSAlem is actually in the United States of America, not what we’ve been taught, told all of our lives! You see we’ve been lied to our whole lives. I was fully awake almost 3 years ago, but knew Elvis was alive in the early 80’s somehow. Wait until you find out about JFK sr! And Junior! JFK is not a Kennedy neither was his older brother Joseph jr. they were born in Libya too, Omar Muhktar had a son and 4 daughters, his son was murdered when he was about 18. His youngest daughter Mary married a Prince and had 2 sons, JOSEPH and JOHN! They were sent to America to be raised by the Kennedy’s, to protect their bloodlines. You want to know why the bloodlines? I will tell you, but p,ease go research on duck duck go and brave so that you will find out the truths of these things I’m telling you. Use your own God given discernment. Their bloodlines comes from Noah, Adam and Eve. Caines bloodline came from the evil satanic ones because Stan and Eve had Caine. Satan was the forbidden fruit, NOT an apple or whatever. We were all lied to. The true Bibles are coming out soon with all the truths about our ancestors and us! The Old Testament was changed, hijacked and changed, but there is enough in there to help wake you up if you read it with an open mind and heart. Know that God / Christ loves you and me and all his children more than anything ever! More than any creation he has ever created! If you can get copies of these books, the truths are in them, The book of Enoch, The gospel of Q, the book of Lady Magdalene, the book of Noah, there are 711 books missing from the KJV, and 111 books missing also that are only about the great Giants! I can’t wait to get those books. I’ve already got the book of Enoch and the gospel of Q and some others. The Thrift store.com is where I purchased them, less expensive that way. How ever, the white hats, the good guys are making new Bibles with every wh thing that is correct and written by our true God/ Christ and his followers and family members. Lady Magdalene has a huge part in this as she was not what we were to,d of her, she was NEVER ever an adulteress or a whore! She was a beautiful Christ’s apostle, one of more than the mere 12 we were taught to believe. Tell lie vision is just that, tells lies to us to make us dumbed down and brainwashed and believe whatever they tell us to believe! Trump, the white hats, the Kennedy’s, our militaries, Q team and the great Alliance, Soace Force and the galactic federation of planets will be telling us the whole truths very soon and showing us, showing us the evidence, the proofs of why, when. Who how and where! Believe that! We are in the end of times, but NOT as we were to,d. It’s the end of times for Satan, his demons and all of his minions and followers, NOT the end of times for us who believe in God our Heavenly Father! Good bless you, you are already awakened and even more awake now. Please go research. Telegram is a great tool to use, it’s free and mostly conservative. Occasionally there are trolls there, just ignore them.

Look for me on telegram, message me, tell me that I messaged you on KZbin about Paul McCartney and I will remember. Take care of heart2heart and nottingtohide and welcome to the Great Awakening! Where we go one we go all! Also, Trump and our military took out the high elite satanics and the ones who follow Satan and Baphomet the transgender, the ones you see now on the tv are body double actors wearing the voice modulators and no they are NOT clones.

Obama was shot in his head, Hillary, her clone actually was hung like Bill Clinton. All of this will come out with facts, video court hearings. They mostly all confessed. Crimes against humanity, treason, fraud will get you the death penalty every time, because it was an executive order from Trump when he was in office. Lol 😂 look it up if you think I’m lying, I’m not, but please do some research! I’m here to help you, others to finally wake up so the white hats will put all the truths out there! The sooner most humans wake 🆙 the faster things happen and get done in a positive way! I am a digital soldier / Anon, Hello and my real name is Laura. I’m not afraid of anything, not even Satan who is now gone. Our good guys are cleaning g up the mess now. That’s why Russia’s Putin is in the Ukraine to clean it up, he has not hurt even one person or child while his military was there, they were there to destroy their evil government, the evil military and help the good military come out of hiding and help the citizens there.

@@nottingtohide Paul never owned a Volkswagen Beetle. The car that was totaled in the January 7th accident you mentioned was Paul's mini-cooper, being driven by a friend of Robert Fraser (Paul's art dealer Fraser Gallery) named Mohammed Chtaibi -- long story short -- party at Paul's 7 Cavendish Ave. home ... ran out of drugs .. decided to take the party to Keith Richards's West Wittering cottage -- the group took off in two cars. Road conditions were bad, and Chtaibi didn't know where he was going, so he was speeding to catch up with the lead car, Mick Jagger's mini-cooper. Paul was in the first car with Mick, Keith, and I know for sure the son of the British Governor of Rhodesia , Christopher Gibbs... Chtaibi was taxiing the others. Well, he lost control of the car, and hit a pole in the exact middle of the vehicle. It's amazing that no one was seriously hurt. The reason people thought Paul was in the car is because the bevy of girls that hung out at Paul's gate 24/7 saw the group of people spill out of the house and pile into the two cars. These fans saw only a blur of people, but they assumed that Paul was driving his own car. A story did run in the paper, but it was immediately corrected. One of those things that happened before cell phones and mass media.

@cliff How would a voice coach even know? You need to get a life and let Paul live his. A hoax from 66 to sell records is all it was. Paul's voice is raspy from a lifetime of smoking so he's going to sound different. Paul played left and right handed as a stunt in 1963. So, that comparison means nothing. Billy Shears doesn't exist anymore.. He didn't look like Paul then. He died over 3 years ago according to various accounts. But I don't think he ever existed in the first place. William Campbell Shepherd was a worker on Paul's farm. He's been dead for years, yet he's supposed to be Billy Shears. If Paul had died in 66, the whole world would have known. Like John said: We can't do anything that the world doesn't know about since so many reporters follow our every move. Paul is 80 and has smoked his whole life. His voice is raspy. He no longer performs. And the Beatles were a relic from the 20th century. Get a life. Other British Invasion groups were actually better. The DC5 for one.

But if you look closer at their lifes, interviews and careers, you will know that they never took all of this seriously. And that was the secret of their creativity. They were joking along, playing, doing weird stupid things, writing nonsense lyrics because it was actually fun.

The photos of Paul after the death, of the original are SHOCKING. I saw them before they were scrubbed off the internet. Suddenly 'Paul' was taller, AND A LOT taller, at that. Different nose, jaw shape, chin, just totally crazy. He was a folk singer, from that area, and this was the ultimate career boost for him. The Beatles were MEGA STARS, at the time, and a MASSIVE CASH MACHINE, that too many big players, had a stake in. The current Paul, is a liar of 5 plus decades, and this BECAME his life.

So wonderful. People of a certain age who grew up with the Beatles grew up listening to his voice. It was the norm to us so thinking it was flat, imperceptibly so, never crossed our minds.

Always appropriate for the song. Also, ponder different tunings on guitar for effect. Drop D comes to mind as well as Open.

[@7colliemac]

Everything about your analysis is spot on, plus, when you hear the vocals isolated you can easily tell that the vocal timbre is identical in both Yesterday and Hey Jude.

[@karenp1687]

I toy with the idea occasionally that it is a different Paul now, but, for me, it still goes back to the fact that ALL the audio "clues" on the records were of John's voice. I really think he did it as a joke to see how long Paul would take to catch on. It did have the ring of a "John practical joke" to it. I do remember hearing that Paul went somewhere & came back to John's house to see the final proofs of the complicated Sgt Pepper cover. He had been assured they would wait for his okay before printing it. But John said it was already at the printer. Paul stormed away. Then straightaway, Sargent Pepper came out with a bunch of hidden clues. After 1966, they stopped touring. Sales flagged after a few years. But the record sales went through the roof when the rumor finally went mainstream. (Lots of kids had destroyed their records playing them backwards!) They had to stay together then, but after agreeing to stop touring, it wasn't so physically draining. Many times, they recorded stuff separately. By 1970, the story broke bigtime as he was at his place in Scotland with Linda and their new baby, and he found himself faced with a reporter and cameraman dogging him for answers. Had to be maddening if it was the real Paul. If not, ig might explain how all four could begin suing the others just on the advice of lawyers.
