    Is this it:

    Paul McCartney / George Harrison MASSIVE ARGUMENT 1969

    or this:

    OK, man !!!

        Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Wings have just as many hits as the Beatles? I remember reading that somewhere.

          No but they had a good run...in America all 23 singles charted top 40 and they had 6#1's in America......not sure the full number worldwide

          Beatles had 20# 1's in America.....

            Thanks! That certainly speaks well to McCartney's musical composing skills. I think the solo careers of each member clearly showed their contributions to the Beatles. McCartney had a great knack for creating excellent hooks, while Lennon buried everyone in lyrical composition. Ringo and Harrison were the spice to that chemistry made it pop.

              Comparing Beatles with Wings

              Beatles had tons of hits, semi-hits and popular songs

              Wings either had mega hits or nothing

                BTW, McCartney is the biggest control freak there is...don't be fooled by his "Show" face when he is being interviewed. My biggest complaint about Wingspan is that you don't see any members of Wings...Not even Denny Laine...being interviewed or asked about his experience in the groups multiple lineups. That right there shows you that Paul wants people to see his side of the picture. That's why you won't see a Let It Be release. Again, just give me the Rooftop show and I'll be happy.
                I think that's just his old school entertainer sell the image/product. As You know he was willing to dump the other 3 early on to get ahead. Paul envisioned himself as an entertainer with or without the Beatles and may have had a good solo career had the Beatles failed. He had the boy next door good looks and was already developing into a a good songwriter.

                Plus i don't blame him after John was misquoted with the Whole Bigger than Jesus and Telling people he smoked pot I'm sure he put a lid on everything. I Don't really blame him. He knows he's a product that has to sell, he knows where he stands in Rock history......I would be the same way.

                  I think what's cool about seeing them separate was seeing how individual they really were. When you mixed them together they created magic....

                      don't forget the whole fiasco when Paul admitted to taking LSD to a reporter and the trouble that caused him

                          exactly, which is why he is always so reserved now when talking publicly

                            Totally you can see how careful he is in interviews.....I think the worse was after Lennon's death when they stuck a camera in his face and was asked to react...you could still see he was still in shock and many took it as he was being insensitive....when George had died you could see he was more careful how he answered......

                              when George died he was able to come s/w the media on his own terms as they were all sitting outside his estate....you could also see the raw emotion in his face and hear it in his voice
