Talk:Paul McCartney

Semi-protected edit request on 14 May 2023

A "Covers" subtitle should be created in the discography section and CHOBA B CCCP, Kisses On The Bottom, Run Devil Run, Thrillington and Give My Regards To Broad Street should be packed under it; Thrillingtone should also have the label "(Ram remake)" and Give My Regards To Broad Street should have the label "(soundtrack)". Also a "Remix" subtitle should be created and Twin Freaks and McCartney III Imagined should be packed under it. Liverpool Sound Collage should be in the solo discography since it's not a remix album. The Family Way should be in the classical album section with the label "(soundtrack)"; since it's a classical album. The "Other" subtitle should be eliminated. That's a more correct and immediate way to give proper information about McCartney's outputs. 2A02:1210:66E4:B400:B4BB:B946:C9CB:A0F5 (talk) 15:50, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

There's a difference between "recorded" and "released". Abbey Road was the last recorded, though not last released. Read the articles for each for details. Sundayclose (talk) 21:59, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Infos about McCartney's release of his first photo book "Eyes of the Storm" and the photo exhibitions related to it should be added. 2A02:1210:66E4:B400:75B5:863F:E937:8548 (talk) 10:33, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Add Ukulele to instruments

Paul McCartney has been playing ukulele regularly at many concerts for the last 20 years. He even did a music video featuring the ukulele. He has been quoted as saying, "To this day, if I ever meet grownups who play ukulele, I love 'em." The Ukulele Dude - Aggie80 (talk) 14:16, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

It's a novelty, like a kazoo. Not a serious band instrument. WWGB (talk) 14:35, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Indeed. He has also played trumpet on a handful of recordings, such as "Only a Northern Song", but that is not going to be added to the infobox either. Tkbrett (✉) 16:38, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

To add on to that, the only ukelele song I can think of at the top of my head is "Ram On", so it doesn't strike as significant enough. Plus, ukulele's are just smaller guitars. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 19:58, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

I'll throw in my two cents. We don't need to add any more instruments, but if there were an additional instrument it would be drums. He played drums on Back in the U.S.S.R., Dear Prudence, Martha My Dear, The Ballad of John and Yoko, and every song on McCartney (album). Sundayclose (talk) 20:12, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Not to mention all live drums on McCartney II and McCartney III, and even Foo Fighters' "Sunday Rain" (2017). – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 15:57, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

The person who taught McCartney to play the ukulele was the grandmother of comedian Emily Atack: [1], [2]. True story! 86.187.175.64 (talk) 16:02, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Divorce month to Heather wrong.

The divorce month to Heather is wrong. The preliminary divorce decree was granted in May 2008.[3] The Sounes book that is sourced uses March 2008 when Heather won a financial settlement.[4] Please correct to May 2008 with my reliable People magazine source. 2A00:23C7:1104:F601:A1BE:310B:E1A0:5C81 (talk) 08:33, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
