Paul McCartney - Helter Skelter

[@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 😂

[@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.

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.

@@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

The older McCartney gets, the more I respect him. Any musician who has covered this song knows that you have to play it balls-to-the-wall. There are at least three generations of people in the crowd jumping up and down during this song. Rock and roll would not be what is today were it not for this song.

[@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.

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.

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.

[@KbcBerlin]

This was 68. !!! I heard it start up on a street fest lately, and then realized it was Lennon McCartney 68. It sounded right with the other music. That was L& Ms strength . This song opened the door for a whole styles, heavy rock metal, punk as did a lot of their music.for other styles. You have to know the history now to see that.

The Beatles included Starr's shout on the stereo mix of the song (available on CD); the song completely fades out around 3:40, gradually fades back in, almost completely fades back out again, then quickly fades back in with three cymbal crashes and Ringo's scream ; in fact, Lennon can be heard asking "How's that?" before Ringo's outburst).[15] The mono version (originally on LP only) ends on the
