I'll say it again. The fact that Paul McCartney and John Lennon grew up in the same town, were close in age and met is almost miraculous.

[@Chrisicola]

We could do something with this band....Biggest understatement ever.

You took the comment right out of my mouth!

“We could do something with this band”

they...created another band: The Beatles.

[@gregoryyoung8819]

"The Beatles were four different legs of the same table." - Paul

[@wxnd3r45]

Damn! That is such a good comparison

[@dabreu]

Exactly. So good to know Paul agrees with me. LOL I mean, most fans disagree and are even rude when I saw things like that about them. But now I know have the same view of the band. Now everybody can criticize me. I have Paul on my side. LOL

“Yeah, you know...we could do something with this band.” They did.

Pretty awesome how many times Stern has gotten Paul on the show

[@roopan1968]

Agreed....and Stern really brings out the best in McCartney. I can listen to their interviews all day long.

[@danielmcgarel5105]

I think he likes being on there!

[@wxnd3r45]

@@roopan1968 me too. He really talking from his heart and Howard is such a good interviewer

[@speedoflight9005]

I think that he must be with Stern, weekly. Enjoy, guys.

[@ricomajestic]

Stern's childhood dream was to meet and talk to the Beatles and now he does it every few months!

Just want to point out the guitars are all on one rack but the hofner bass is on it's own I feel like that shows how much paul loves it

No doubt about it. I’m sure they would’ve collaborated again had John lived.

After Bill N Ted :p

"I think I'm allowed a minute to think about it" he says when talking about deciding to join the Beatles. Boss.

[@ktcarl]

My Aunt used to babysit Paul and his brother when they around 4 and 5 years old and I asked her if you could tell if Paul was a prodigy back then and she told me, "No! He was a brat!"

[@Caalifrna]

This Paul guy sounds alright. Hope his little band makes it some day.

I can never get enough of you interviewing Paul McCartney thank you so much.

"We could do something with this band" Just changed the history of music, forever.

A very important week that was. Imagine a 14 year old making one decision that would end up effecting his life and the world of music and popular culture forever?

The Beatles was his first band? Not too shabby.

The Quarrymen

[@SpaceTravel1776]

The Quarrymen, dude. Please listen to his words, the ones he is speaking in this video.

[@joe6096]

@@ianrutherford878 Right but I see what he's saying..... technically when Paul joined the Quarrymen in 1957 he'd never left or joined "another" band until the Beatles broke up in 1970. It was the Quarrymen who morphed into The Beatles with John and Paul as the constants.

"We could do something with this band." Understatement of the century.

[@scottmatheson2390]

God bless ya Johnny Rocker for caring about young Paul and his songwriting abilities. What an auspicious meeting: two of the centuries greatest singer songwriters meeting up in the same town. (not to mention the quiet and lovely George with his own gifts not quite yet in full bloom) and of course the under cover cool and artistry of one Richard Starkey.

[@1960taylor]

That meeting was preordained by God....the 2 greatest songwriters in history...George wasn't bad either.

[@joe6096]

"We could do something with this band"..... Of all the understatements of the century that have been said, this is by far the most understatement of all understatements!!!

[@KilianMcCartney]

Btw Howard. Paul also had a solo career so you could talk about more with him than just the Beatles all the time...

[@johnmeye]

Great interviewer, Great interviewee-I always want more

[@speedoflight9005]

"We can do something with this band". Oh, yeah...they "did something" I think.

[@rgordon572]

Amazing to think how our world would be so much different if Paul had said "No" to joining the band.

[@raymondsmith9886]

In a way It must be horrible for him to repeat the same stories for the last 50-60 years. At least it’s over a 10 plus year period with the Beatles and couple more with wings

As well as Itchy & Scratchy.

[@terryguire1321]

McCartney's alway interesting to listen to. Howard is a good interviewer - albeit too obsessed with sex questions - but it worked as a way of getting recognized in the business. I don't think he needs that stuff anymore.

[@user-yz9kz6vt9y]

In an interview that can be found on KZbin, John says that Paul agreed to join his band the very next day after they met. Maybe it was their partnership that began immediately.

John Lennon wouldn't have made it if he hadn't met Paul McCartney, he would have been an unknown nobody all his life. This has been said before by people and its true. I know what a genius John eventually grew into with the Beatles, but on his own or with those Quarry Men he wouldn't have even been given a chance to develop because he wouldn't have been taken on by anyone and given the opportunity in the first place. Paul Probably wouldn't have made it either but he would have had more of an initial chance because he at least looked pretty, he had that going for him, which would have got him at least noticed by talent scouts, whereas John wasn't pretty at all was he? he would have just been ignored and never had a career in show business.
