Paul McCartney • Interview (Beatles’ Early Career) • 1964 [Reelin' In The Years Archive]

[@DanBryant-qj2pl]

I find it incredible and almost unbelievable that today, in 2024, he still has the drive and passion to make and perform music that he did way back then. Hell, even if I love a craft, I begin to get a bit ancy to do something else after 3-5 years of it being my main thing. What he’s done and the fact that he is still doing it with the same unbridled passion consistently is just amazing. He and Ringo have done a great job of in 9:11 keeping the Beatles top of mind with new generations. And they come across as so damned 9:11 genuine. Paul would have every good excuse to be a pompous asshole after all his success,talent and presence to intimidate. But no, he seems all but that on his talk and more importantly his actions. Smart, wise, crafty, industry slick guy who knows how to present himself and does it so well I do believe it is absolutely genuine. It’s going to be a sad, sad day when we lose one of music’s greatest, most driven yet genuinely humble and grounded geniuses. I love the din of a b**ch. I really do.

I wish I was that mature at 21...to take the magnitude of it all all psychologically, speak so eloquently, and still have room for humility is breathtaking. Will-I-Am is a total dk in comparison and I get why JL was the first to crack in the end and get aggro with Will-I-Am. I think I would have done the same!!!! George and Ringo were always behind JL. The OG 3 were all trapped inside an artificial product they no longer had control over and were being handled. JL sabotaged it all to give the OG 3 an out. JL killed The Beatles and "they" didn't forgive him for it, or forget, they made JL's life a total hell, he couldn't travel back to England to visit his Aunt, or son, and then the cowards took him out. Spineless, control freak cowards...the lot of them. RIP Paul, John, George. I really hope Ringo outlives Will-I-Am so het gets to spew the truth into mainstream before he pops his clogs. Now...that would be one hell of a Netflix limited series. Yeesh!!!!!

What most people don’t think about with Paul and the way he was here at such a young age is that all that was mostly due to his upbringing. His dad was a very proper man and brought him up well. He was also responsible for much of his musical talent….so says Paul himself. He has always talked about how much he learned from his dad, and judging by this interview, he learned more than music. He learned how to be respectful and courteous. That’s one thing he’s kept throughout his whole life. Even now, he’s generally a courteous person in interviews.

@stevennewton5185, Paul McCartney died in an automobile accident on September 11, 1966; less than 27 months after this interview.

[@jprg1966]

Very interesting interview, a rare one where they don't ask dumb things like "how do you spend your money?" or "how do you like Australian girls?" I find it especially interesting that as early as 1964, Paul caught on to the fact that the Beatles had a uniquely eclectic set of musical influences.

[@OlskZeri-ip1xr]

Real Paul McCartney was a very intelligent young man.

[@siriusBhive]

What a Thoroughly Nice Guy maybe ! . A star like You 🛎👋

[@SchwarzerTurm]

Love to see the true real Paul. I suppose that some people know about what I'm talking. 🧐 Great interview by the way.

[@susanrutherford866]

Only a very few. Most are still asleep. 😌

[@Peaceharmony-x3r]

Much more genuine and not an ounce of arrogance there.

[@BeatlemaccaAR]

​@@susanrutherford866oh you are soooo enlightened! Ode to you, praise for believing and spreading the most ABSURD "theory" ever 🙄🙄🙄

The parting on the left became the parting on the right.

[@martineroels2396]

9:11 I was a kid in '66 when I heard it, I never forgot it. Later I found so many clues about the unbelievable, bit one has to want to see the differences between Paul and Faul.

[@IamThatiAm420]

Billy was given the title "Sir" for his ability to fool the public.

[@Akhenatonification]

In an RKO Special, F. Lee Bailey (a high profile attorney during the 60's) asked the supposed brother Mike McCartney (McGear) "when did you last see your brother" (aka JPM) and McGear answered "At his funeral."

[@olskzeri1476]

He was honest for once.

[@BillieBeatles77]

Oh really that's interesting 🤔🤔🤔

[@sherrybirchall8677]

My God, we're living in stupid times.

[@CommonContentArchive]

@@sherrybirchall8677 It's mostly bots or people coming from conspiracy message boards. I have been a fan for 40+ years, and in those years have never met a single person who takes "Paul is dead" conspiracies seriously. Yet there's a dozen bots just on this page. It happens online, when a page gets spammed with bots or nutters

[@C.O.G.]

​​​​@@CommonContentArchive, excuse me, but I am neither a "bot", or a "nutter", as you call it. I'm a person who loved James Paul McCartney very much. Just because someone doesn't agree with you, that doesn't make them any less than any other person. Thank you for assuming things about us, though. It makes my day, when people want to assume that they know me, or anything about me, based on comments that I make on KZbin videos. Just lovely. (Dripping sarcasm, here; in case you can't tell.) By the way, there are a lot of us PID believers out there in the world. A lot more than you can imagine. We won't be intimidated by your name calling and assumptions, however. Might want to get used to the fact that we are here to stay. (Oh, and I've been a Beatles fan for 60 years.)

[@Thegeniuskidsuperb]

The tears in those glorious eyes says it all..

[@OlskZeri-ip1xr]

Sadly Paul lived a short life.

[@Thegeniuskidsuperb]

@@OlskZeri-ip1xr that’s just a myth. Don’t believe everything you see online

[@FEARYOYOYO]

You're talking about it as if it's text and pictures that convince people and not the apparent changes in demeanor and personality. ​@@Thegeniuskidsuperb

[@СветланаЮдина-п4я]

Милашка. Море обаяния. Большой умница. 💓🌺😊🥰😘

[@Noah1997callahan]

Love this man

[@OlskZeri-ip1xr]

If you really loved JPM then you would be aware that he is dead.

[@CommonContentArchive]

@@OlskZeri-ip1xr And if you really loved apples, you'd be aware that they're oranges 😂

[@OldSchoolVibes1978]

The original Paul. What a cutie!

[@ultraviolet3905]

One and only Paul

[@strongpeppapig]

the real paul ❤️

[@DanielStillieJohnston]

Definitely the real Paul. This new guy ain't Paul

[@domdonofrio7974]

Just a lad from Liverpool. 🙂

[@Raelyn976]

❤

[@BJ-fj6jw]

his lips and voice and demeanor different than in 1967. This Paul is gentle and sweet and genteel and ... British. Also his ear lobes are different than in 1967.

[@BJ-fj6jw]

@All Law What??? John too???

[@chops4986]

@All Law wrong

[@C.O.G.]

​@@BJ-fj6jw, no. Just Paul.

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Paul had a Great Father xx

[@ManubibiWalsh]

I wondered a bit about how these guys thought about the kids screaming about them and worried they would misunderstand what it all means, but I’m so comforted by knowing at least one of them got it. It’s really not sexual or hysterical… and then I remember, he was and is a fan of someone else’s too. Of course he knows. These guys made music so insane that I never really connected them being someone else’s fans and acting the way fans act. And it’s not a standard answer either. Very interesting and simple but it’s the kind of thing you forget about when the person you’re a huge fan of is a person too and other artists’ fan as well. I often forget the artists I love have an inner life that relates to art made by others separate from their own art.

[@asteverino8569]

Great interview, Paul. Pretty insightful for your almost 22 self. I do think that some of those girls and guys had wet underpants. 💁🏼‍♂️

[@tinyangel5020]

how can someone be this good looking,sexy, charming,talented, as young as he is at this interview, he is cool as cucumber. . .he is so stunning , it's unbelievable

[@OlskZeri-ip1xr]

Real James Paul McCartney was a special man.

[@DexterBanks5555]

Can you make the watermark bigger? I can still see Paul.

[@DahonGone]

Thanks for that comment. The watermark is infuriating but at least you made me laugh 😂

[@Mrfacts_Ji]

He was great!!! ❤

[@a.vasquez771]

4:55 It's really no wonder Paul still performs at his current age.

[@OlskZeri-ip1xr]

JPM stopped touring in 1966. William is still touring under the "Paul McCartney" name.

[@a.vasquez771]

I'm telling you with complete sincerity you need to take your meds.

[@SvenEmberg-ek8dt]

William Shepherd could certainly read music.

[@sunmoonstars2228]

So he said in a 4 days he'll be 22. So if this intervieuw was taken in 1964, then he is born in 1942.

[@claradiaz3147]

Sunday afternoon, June 14, 1964.

[@lolly9080]

So does one change from liking to be indoors to outdoors because he is saying here he wasn’t keen on the outdoors and was more of an indoor person. Weirdly changed after 66

[@OlskZeri-ip1xr]

Good observation. All that changed when JPM was replaced late 1966 "as an already set up affair" by William.

[@josemasterson9925]

Different Personality, Definitely An Entirely Different Person, What A Pity!!!

[@sobeidalagrange7129]

01:48 Paul, how old r u?❤❤❤ He looks and sounds so genuine!!!😮😮😮

[@C.O.G.]

@sobedaiagrange7129, he was genuine; before September 11, 1966. This is the REAL Paul McCartney (June 14, 1964).
