Title: Paul is set to retire after his upcoming tour.
Post by: Wayne L. on May 11, 2004, 01:33:16 PM
I have heard from reliable sources in the music business that Paul will officially announce that his upcoming world tour will be his last with a final concert in the US at Shea Stadium in 05 which will be filmed for a concert documentary with footage from the Beatles classic performance 40 years before even though there are no plans from him to retire from making music.

OK, I revise: Paul will still perform till he's very old indeed.[/quote]

 And they'll "Roll" him out onto the stage in his wheelchair. Of course, Macca's an independant type of guy, I'd say. So he'll probably prefer to do it himself.

[quote by=pc31 link=Blah.pl?b=mccartney,m=1084282396,s=11 date=1084664759]paul still rocks for example i've had enough,spin on it,the album run devil run.he just don't helter skelter no more.....

[/quote]

Yesterday I listened to CHOBBA B CCCP and Run Devil Run. I must admit that I still think CHOBBA B CCCP is better. But honestly, I don't think he rocks. Paul plays up-tempo numbers sometimes, but it's not rock.

But you said it: "he just don't helter skelter no more....."

Or Can't Buy Me Love or I Saw Her Standing There or Long Tall Sally or Drive My Car  or ....

Ok, so its said that Paul doesnt rock. This is a dead horse, but i'm willing to beat it again. No, Paul doesnt rock when compared to somebody like Ted Nugent or Motley Crue. I agree. The question is, did any of the other Beatles actually rock more than Paul during their solo careers? I do agree that Paul makes a living in the love song/pop genre, but he does throw the 2 or 3 romps on every album.

Like TE stated, i've seen Paul live 3 times and he does rock.

I think Paul will "possibly retire " after this tour because he's not getting any younger with only occasional live appearances afterward even though he probably has about 2 more albums left in him of original material as an artist at least before he retires for good from the music business!
