Paul McCartney's Rules For His Staff Are Beyond Weird

Paul McCartney's Rules For His Staff Are Beyond Weird
The legendary Paul McCartney is among the biggest names in all of music. He has spent over six illustrious decades bringing boundless joy to millions with his infectiously cheery, vibrantly upbeat love songs.
But if you get him a leather boot or serve his crew steak you're basically asking for trouble!
In today’s video we will take a closer look at Paul McCartney's Rules For His Staff and find out if they're indeed, "beyond weird."

I worked refurbishing his company offices in Soho Square around 1975. He came around on Christmas eve and spoke to anyone who wanted to speak to him. After he left we were called to the basement, there was a table stacked full of beers and our foreman said " Merry Christmas lads, courtesy of Mr McCartney"

Paul is a perfectionist! Not a surprise of a genius.

[@Jgeneraledger23]

My "Paul Moment" was in 2007 when I gave Sir Paul 'Thumbs Up' as I stood on the corner of Sunset Boulevard. It was so-awesome.

[@MustangWriter]

I'm not sure I could ever work for Paul... but even from afar I can appreciate his musical genius. Thank you for the soundtrack of my life.

[@55rbmb]

I love his veganism. And it keeps him for and trim. I have utmost respect for his talent and morality.

[@stephenfisch615]

I would definitely go totally meat free to work with Paul.

[@Fortunapage839]

The leather thing is not weird at all. I know lots of animal rights people like that.

[@JoeRivermanSongwriter]

I’d have strict vegan rules for my crew too if I were famous. Nobody thinks it’s weird or peculiar.

[@stevegreen5430]

You bet I would play by ALL of his rules just to play one Gig with the legend that he is and deserves to be.

[@boshane123]

Paul likes what he likes! Can't blame him for that!

[@bethkissel9159]

His s first wife was very a vegetatian activist to the extreme so apparently it rubbed off on Paul. 😮😮😮

[@seltaeb3302]

Venue staff, who dont work for him, cant be told what to wear period, his roadies yes.

[@markv.5962]

brian is not the band bassist. he is a utility player mainly a guitar player. he only plays bass when paul isnt

[@donnaenglund-pd4vy]

I didn’t read them yet but he is brilliant. Fans can be truly insane & sometimes very dangerous. Even if he can’t sing or play he will be an excellent writer if he so chooses. Or just live at the Isle of Wight. Can’t help but love him.

[@jeanmyers1787]

Paul is a hero for supporting animals.

[@garyhoffman503]

More power to Paul. Hey he knows much more then most certainly much more than me. Grace and Thank you Sir Paul.

[@user-qj7xy8mu4g]

Great thank you animal RIGHTS❤

[@user-gn9vu7wn7t]

He is the boss therefore he is the boss. He ia against animal cruelty which is good, he abhors as I do, bullfights that's why he doesn't want anyone wearing leather, etc.

[@anyanikolaeva9619]

If anything, all of this makes me respect and admire Paul even more.

[@margaretmaged2584]

Good for him privacy is important totally agree

[@connierenna-xf9um]

It wasn’t supposed to have been a plane crash. It was supposed to have been a car crash.

[@user-cz2bh3yl9y]

This all good. I am happy for him and his life. ☮️💟☮️💟

[@sherronmitchell3977]

I like how Paul walks the walk for veganism. Linda is proud.

[@vaskylark]

I once camped out for Paul McCartney tickets in the rain too. Then the ticketron broke so we had to stand there for eight more hours after already being in line for many hours. It was a great show and a good memory since I went with my sister who is now gone. Only concert I ever camped for tickets to.

[@jonapolloapollo5770]

Billy Shears did a great job for the beatles

[@BudinVegas]

Wonderful personal decisions, but keep it personal, not shoved off on others. The OCD is way too much. Fine human and music ambassador to the world though, and great composer.

[@SteveDanielson]

the paul and phill thing is you would have had to watch it live and see

[@user-uu6jw6qs7b]

I love this man and his music.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

It's really very simple...We aren't him. Try to understand the pressure that man is under. Most top-tier Rock stars live relatively short lives and one reason is the pressure is immense in ways the media doesn't allude to.

[@rubycollins714]

I think the Phil Collins thing is blown out of proportion. Perhaps Maca was being sarcastic.

[@chathammkm]

Too bad about Phil Collins. Probably not too well known but Phil Collins was actually an extra as a teenager in the Beatles movie A Hard Day's Night. He was a huge Beatles fan so I'm sure Paul's comment to him later on in life was a bit deflating.

[@normanbrown9225]

More Than TALENT, LUCK And GOOD LOOKS IS DISCIPLINE.😊

[@kingforaday8725]

If ya dont wanna lives by the bosses rules then go work elsewhere!

[@serenaleigh8418]

He is the most unique musician of our time.

[@tns-xh1jz]

nice

[@ahenshawful]

would I go vegan for the chance to work for Sir Paul? No question at all, in a heartbeat.

[@BeatlesFan1975]

He loves (other) animals and wants to protect them. Yea, hes a monster 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@gstockwell5315]

He brings out the best in people. You must NOT forget he is a vegetarian and a positive headspace

[@earlmcpherson6913]

Wouldn't have a problem with his diet.

[@butch3715]

I think it's safe to say you may not want to meet some of your musical hero's.

[@andreslopez3502]

And it should be that way!!!

[@jimking3288]

The hyper privacy thing was supposed to support the theory that the real Paul is dead !!!

[@rayhelps5591]

Sad..... no, it's great. Some people just don't know when to give up, and he's one of them.

[@susanforet2117]

Good for Paul McCartney!!!! He is a great vegetarian and has respect for animal life. I respect that. Too bad the governor of South Dakota couldn't be more that way.

[@AhrBC]

well just to compare phil collins' net worth of about £275 m to McCarthey's 1 billion £ may be enough to get a feeling of the difference....

[@AndrewHeller-jn7dx]

Interesting content.

[@ritahenning5143]

Absolutely ❤️

[@user-hr9jh3mq9b]

That's why he is so awesome!! HELP! He needs me to work for him❤❤❤❤

[@Zirin-md7pg]

I just think he and Linda and all the Beatles are amazing! Paul has his beliefs and they aren't bad! So i think he's awesome,goooo for animal rights!we all should applaud that and go vegan you'll be happy u did and your body will thank you!!!!!!❤

[@lynnroots7556]

I’ve experienced Diana Ross’s Security to be very similar. … gentle and serene. So impressive 💞L xxx

[@owendarby2172]

He happily sat in a Range Rover with leather seats on carpool karaoke with James Corden. He even drove the car.

[@mikeworsley1773]

Maybe I’m amazed

[@beholder2012]

Paul's demands regarding music are natural to me - because they concern the work for which he pays. Although from what I read he doesn't pay that much, unfortunately, considering his requirements (see as example Denny Laine's case). But his controlling „who should eat what” or „what shoes the staff should(n't) wear” is already treating the staff like some kind of serfs (actually even like dogs) and I can only be surprised that so many of you write: „oh, I would agree to anything just to work for Paul McCartney”. Well, many of you, guys, seem to have a huge inferiority complex and a complete lack of self-respect.

[@michaelryan5364]

Silly Love Songs, Let 'Em In, Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time. These songs make me question my admiration for McCartney Beatles songs.

[@lenorebarron3140]

Definitely!!

[@mjbrooks67]

If I worked for him I'd probably make till lunch and say "Ok I'm done, thanks for the opportunity..." lol

[@helenstrachan6940]

Rock on George❤❤❤

[@RichardBowman-uf8ym]

Yes I agree a humble man and a very good musician eg travelling wilburys

[@sdd123]

I absolutely love his voice but I do think he is Billy Shears but I do not care. He is a brilliant singer and composer.❤❤❤❤

[@wardbond7497]

I will always eat a fillet o fish whenever Paul is around.

[@NonInflatable]

He's lost his voice. It's very sad.

[@susanferraro897]

Talk about OCD !

[@blakechristensen9073]

When in doubt...Go with the man, John Lennon😎

[@andrewminogue334]

He is shown wearing a leather jacket a few times.

[@MargaretWalkerCellist]

He is his own God. And you'd best believe in him or you're out! Not even Jesus Christ acted like that!

[@alexf7377]

The songs were much better when he ate meat.

[@jerrycrabb9234]

He did the same thing Eric Clapton done to Eddie Van Halen but that could be rumor.

[@nickmele9968]

I met his Cousin Wrongo Fartz in an insane asylum in Frankfurt Germany

[@DavidMaclean42]

Go Vegan ! 💙

[@stevet8121]

I liked Paul when he was a Beatle up until about 1966. They moved on and so did I. Now he's just a control freak who can't move forward but only lives in the past. He needs a big ribeye steak so he can chill out.

[@mamagale5625]

George was my favorite. Much better singer.

[@edjo487]

Doesn’t Brian play guitar…?!

[@Saskia728]

Reacting like that towards Phil Collins.. well, not nice.

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Glad I've never spent a dime for ole Sir Paul's concerts...just another full of themselves person...

[@carmenlamontagne4948]

I have no respect for his nonsense.

[@EsteeWalts]

Never liked him. Sold his soul.

[@GranMastaDee]

Wierdo.

[@servantsofthemessiah720]

He stinks has for many years.

[@user-uu6jw6qs7b]

He needs a shrink!

[@petersheely7246]

👍🌭🍔🥓🥩🍖🤪

[@IrishStock3]

Clown world.

[@goldenneedle5980]

Unbelievable that Paul would be so crass towards Phil Collins. Phil has more talent in his little finger than Paul McCartney has in his whole body (just listen to Phil’s drumming on Brand X records, not to mention his songwriting). And I wouldn’t be surprised if Phil Collins has sold more records than McCartney, a legend in his own mind.

[@alvinrichover9682]

paul is dead

[@tbeau6663]

Narcissist control freak.

[@peterjones4621]

What a weirdo.

[@thomasmazur6916]

Sounds like he's like Trump.

[@DragerPilot]

Had the Beatles come along a year later in the “British Invasion”, their success would have been mediocre. Of all the Beatle songs, few are really good Those that are, were early works. Those were different from the usual, and being sung by a novel group. That was the secret to their quick rise to fame, enabling them to remain on top as some kind of music gods, while soon thereafter putting out albums that were truly crap for the most part.

[@andrew-xr1de]

john always put him in his place.....but no more

[@Sun_flower4321]

I never liked the Beatles never. Paul was the worst human
