Hux Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Atta boyeeeee!! No more ball and chain! Giv'er Macca! What was Macca smoking? We know celebrities sometimes bend the rules - but if you're Paul McCartney you can get away with any thing. The Beatles legend was spotted with what seemed to be a, er, herbal roll-up, but discreet staff turned a blind eye as Macca, 65, puffed away. One over-zealous worker gushed: "Don't worry, you're a legend." Earlier that evening he'd decided he needed a swift drink - or two - and rocked up to the bar where he ordered two pints just 15 minutes before the opening number. It's a miracle he got served though - we're told staff were instructed not to speak to him. His daughters Stella and Mary and comic Vic Reeves kept him company until he finished.

The Chameleon Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I hope so - I'd go to a Wings reunion before a Zeppelin reunion.Get off the pipe man. Wings have one good album. All you need is "Band on the Run." A good album but hardly a legacy.I dunno either I think sir Paul is out of creative gas as it were. His last album was an embarassment from what I heard.

His last album was an embarassment from what I heard.Red Rose SpeedwayVenus and MarsWings at the Speed of SoundLondon TownBack To The Eggall of these albums have some of the best song writing throughout the discography.Get it all live with one of the best live rock albums ever "Wings Over America".Don't forget the best James Bond Theme ever was by the Wings "Live and Let Die".GOSH!

balogna pogna Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I have a live Wings DVD: Rockshow which kicks a lot of ass. I believe it is from 1976 or so and I would highly recommend it.I also have Venus & Mars & Wings at the Speed of Sound on LP (yes Vinyl) so do I still get a punch in the mouth Hux?

All you need is "Band on the Run." A good album but hardly a legacy.I dunno either I think sir Paul is out of creative gas as it were. His last album was an embarassment from what I heard.From what I've heard I wouldn't disagree with you about his most recent album or albums' date=' but if we're talking Wings we're talking 1971-79, how's this for a legacy....[b']During its life, Wings had 12 top-10 singles in the UK and 14 top-10 singles (including six #1s) in the US. All 23 singles credited to Wings reached the US Top 40. Wings had only one fewer #1 single in the US than John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr combined in their post-Beatle careers. Of the nine albums credited to Wings at the time, all went top 10 in either the UK or US, with five consecutive #1s in the US. Wings' 1977 single, "Mull of Kintyre"/"Girls School" is still the biggest-selling non-charity single in the UK (although Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" sold more, its sales include a reissue in aid of the Terrence Higgins Trust) and it ranked fourth in the official list of best selling singles in the UK issued in 2002.Band on the Run is good but it's too short IMO.Here are my favourite Wings albums:1. London Town2. Ram3. Band on the Run4. Red Rose Speedway5. Venus and Mars6. Back to the Egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hux Posted December 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 It's "Arrow Through Me" Srsly, I really dig that tune. "Love Awake" is also an epic tearjerker. I am a cheeseaholic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
