Paul McCartney - Helter Skelter

Best Version EVER of Helter Skelter!

[@raindrops21_9]

63 years old - and that voice! When he was blessed with that talent, we were all blessed.

[@Desi-sm8yk]

hell yes

[@Aderin.]

I think this specific show was autotuned. You can hear on the first scream something didn't sound right. It sounded too high pitched

[@macca8562]

I'm trying to think of another songwriter who could write a song like Yesterday,then write Helter Skelter ? one song he could have given to Sinatra,and another he could have given Black Sabbath,the man is a genius.

[@tadthemod]

Exactly right mate, well said.

[@welcometothepsyop3639]

Billy wrote this not paul

[@muliczakatalin8247]

Well, actually to my ears the Beatles 1962-66 is a completely different band from the Beatles 1967-70... The first Beatles was a group of young guys trying to make popular music to attract girls' hearts, the other Beatles was a progressive rock band 😂

Paul is the god of the music! He is better than ever!!

[@neoranger15243]

i know its sooo sooo cool. the beatles make every style of music cool. im performing this song at my school, it will be soo cool.

[@DisciplineY]

The very first form of heavy metal can be heard on the song "I can see for miles" by The Who. McCartney was totally blown away when he heard the song that he wanted to inform The Who that he could write a similar "heavy" song and he wrote Helter Skelter. You you listen carefully you can't deny there's Who' style in it.

[@modder1975]

after so much years this song still rocks. always forward

[@Susie196921]

A lot of people categorize the Beatles as more or less of a pop music band. Well, you can hardly call Helter Skelter some pop song. It is pure HARD ROCK at its best and written by and sung by the iconic and legendary Paul McCartney.

[@eldabaez3113]

[@TonyblanquitoMaxi]

i love this song =)

[@MsMandaPanda101]

I can't believe people are still having fights about this. It was indeed Ringo who yelled out "I've got blisters on my fingers!". They took so many takes of this song and Ringo was drumming so hard that his drumsticks started to give him blisters. Being a guitar player I'm sure John was used to getting blisters and his fingers were probably already so callused that the guitar playing for this song didn't bother him.

[@beleloy808]

who ever said the beatles were never a rock n roll band... well, ask you rock heroes, you'll be very sorry. beatles were the greatest rock n roll band, musically, in live performances and personal lives.

[@Kungen940127]

@sonicedhoedown1 I love The Beatles, but u should listen to "You really got me", a 1964 Kinks song. It is said to be the first hard rock song. No doubt Beatles were pioneers in many things, but they didn't invented everything. Having said that, The Beatles are the best!!!

All I can Say this If this IS Metal Well Charles Manson was crazy to have a cult that talked all about Helter Skelter I know I dont like he does but I like the song and I like Hwo in the BEatles Rock band every1 exct Ringo is Playing Guitar Paul isnt playing his Signature Bass in the Song for Beatles Rock Band can anyone answer me why?

[@stepott]

i wish ringo were playing the drums...

[@CollegeLunchboxes]

@cmfishburn You must be very young or ignorant because anyone that has seen The Who live would not make such an absurd comment., Most Rock music critics agreeThe Who has always have been the best live Rock act ever. Compare that to The Who playing the Super Bowl last year and Paul's recent SNL show I felt embarassed for him.

[@quote55]

im TOO stoned for the editing in this video right now

[@kempoguy7597]

Was that Al Franken?!?!?!?....must explain the way he votes.....

[@MrDonnyAir]

I remember the very first time I heard this song, playing the White Album for the first time in its entirety... got to Helter Skelter, and I was blown away. Such raw intensity...especially considering that it comes right after Sexy Sadie, which is Lennon being very mellow, and then WHAM! It smacks you right in the face. By today's standards, it's not considered "heavy", it pales in comparison, but at THAT time it was new, heavy, raw, transcending, frenzied, ... and fantastic.

[@luxyaltz219]

+MrDonnyAir You nailed it !!

[@donnastitz1497]

Michelle Crosby.....I felt the same way & would not listen to this for about 30 yrs because of Manson :( But this song is about an amazing huge & " FUN" roller coaster in England :) So think about that every time U listen to this & ENJOY ! LETS TAKE THE POWER BACK FROM MANSON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Jayzon666]

Don't kid yourself. Helter Skelter is still a fucking heavy beast.

This was the song that got me into heavy metal back in 1983 when I was 16 🎸

[@rmzzz76]

I don't buy into the crazy conspiracy theory, but this performance doesn't do anything to help debunk it. Search youtube for videos of Paul singing this with the Beatles and frankly he sings it entirely different, different timbre (expected to change with age) but it's not just the tone of his voice, his phrasing is different and he's off pitch very often in this video.. How did a young Paul without the help of modern tech like in-ear monitors, etc... pull off such great performances on stage in the early 60s but today sounds like a bad impersonator? I realize he's a symbol and the crowd doesn't give a shit because he's a legend, but putting that aside and putting aside the great band performance here, Paul's contribution to this song is not the best case for "Paul isn't dead" although I'm fairly certain it is the same man, he might as well be someone else.. On the flip side at least he's out there still performing.

[@stephenspringer8658]

You expect things to sound and be te same 38 years apart?

[@helengreaves8721]

[@blasemmanuelvillarino1754]

@@rmzzz76 im late but i wanted to point out that youre misguided by this PID bullshit. The believers of this bullshit theory says original paul died 1966. But helter skelter was written in 1968 and the so called replacement of original paul wrote it. So the man performing this song today was no other than the replacement. There are so many networks of inconsistencies to support the bullshit theory and it just doesnt make sense anymore for people like you to not consider it a hoax

[@ArniePorter]

Somehow I think you're missing the point. Paul is often referred to as the sweet voiced balladeer and John the Rocker. This clearly shows that he is much more multi-faceted than that. This song is sometimes referred to as a precursor to the Punk Rock movement so not quite sure how one would classify it as Love Song but I'm always eager to learn more.

[@iankenyon5892]

This video exemplifies what music should be about.All labels are stripped away and we're just people for the moment.Couples dancing,guys headbanging and air guitaring,and girls dancing as the music frees them.We need more of these moments.

[@4FabBEATLES]

Paul has written songs in all gneres, and is good at it. hes done classical/orchestra/choral symphonies, a celtic song, calssic rock, pop, balaads, Indina music, heavy rock, country, kids, and every combination u can imagine- and yest his music just never repeats or gets old. Paul=musical genius!
