Tfw being better but all people want to talk about was Lennon

only at the very start.
On most Beatles recordings, whoever sings the lead was the writer

That's like comparing Beethoven to Mozart -
it's just another sort of talent.
Macca is much more of the "child prodigy" type, in the sense that he was much more of a multi-instrumentalist.
John on the other hand, was OK as a guitar-player and keys but that's it. He was much more of an "all round" artist
(painting, books, acting, activism, ect).
Macca's great songs feel effortless. It feels like some magic.
Lennon's great songs, on the other hand, feel like an epic achievement.
You hear that he really gave it his all.

With Macca, no matter how beautiful his sad songs are, somehow I don't believe him
I honestly can't imagine Paul ever crying, or not being "on top" of things.
He doesn't ever sound *really* disturbed - it's more like he's telling a story.
With Lennon - he's there, and I believe him.
Not always, sure (he'd be the first to point out shitty songs and performances)
but mostly it feels like he's in real pain when he sings it.

>And play something that drums dont shine in so no Metal or Punk
Is that something to worry about? I can't think of a single band where the drummer is the most popular member

it depends how you define "popular" and how you define "member"

I absolutely agree. I feel lennon, not macca.

that said, though, Macca WAS indeed a better musician, - in the strict sense of "occupation: musician",
and is hands-down the best instrumentalist in the Beatles.

all in all, I think we all know that their different status is because he's (supposedly) alive,
and have had the misfortune to stay alive through the 80's and 90's thus providing us some *truly* awful music -
no worse than other 60's survivors, mind you, but still quite horrendous.

did paul mccartney beat his wife like john lennon did?

worse, he made her join Wings

He wasn't a hypocrite idiot that enraged an autist to kill him and make him a legend

avoiding the spotlight might not be such a bad thing. Let's count how many violent situations Ringo Starr has found himself in?

true
Ringo is second.
spot on about John. He said rock n roll happened to be what he clung on to, but a friend of his from college said she expected him to succeed at something creative, and that it could have been anything.
Lennon was extremely restless (as Cynthia said). He did movies, tried to break into the left-wing intelligentsia, took drugs, but it was all too boring for him eventually. Look at the evidence - he was sick of that whole experience, probably the most stimulating anyone had ever, after all of 8 years. In my opinion, adult ADHD would have a big famous face if John had survived

Wings was the second best band in the 70s after Fleetwood Mac

based
without the proficiency of Wings a lot of Paul's solo output would be a bit cringe-inducing. The production is really good on some of it, I don't know how much of an input Paul had to be fair. Possibly a lot since he did in the Beatles

Heather Mills (second wife) has claimed at one point that he beat her.
My favourite bit was a story of him forbidding her to breastfeed their baby because her tits "belong to him" and he didn't want them tasting of milk.
Personally I don't believe a word she says cuz she's a psycho bitch, but still juicy.

That's John though. The Beatles would've never been successful if it were just Paul. Paul is boring, he's the everyman. John was the crazy guy, he was wrong about almost everything but you have to appreciate his constant picking and prodding. He never grew up because he never had a childhood. Paul grew up just fine and turned into a fucking dad in his late 20s. He was a proper middle age father type person by the time he turned 30

you are sick, my friend

I think it was Denny Laine from Wings that once said Paul was the best person he ever met at hiding his true feelings, which would explain a lot. I think Paul has only ever been able to write from a personal place when it’s in response to something too big for him to ignore (writing Here Today about John’s death, Maybe I’m Amazed about Linda helping him out of the depression from the Beatles breakup).
John was always more personal, his most inspired work was usually directed inwards. He wrote some more surreal songs too but the songs he always felt strongest about were usually trying to express something within.

>OK as a guitar player
John was better than Paul as a guitar player. Harrison was better than both. Paul was the best on keys and every other instrument, probably, so that part is true.

Your 'band' is doomed to fail with an attitude like this.
