The Limited Times

Now you can see non-English news...

It was known: the Beatles were the first punk group and Paul McCartney is a fan of the Sex Pistols

2023-02-01T14:30:30.011Z


A fleeting and fortuitous encounter through the streets of London was the only contact between the two teams. But there are many points of contact.


Yes,

Paul McCartney loved punk

.

The guy was a fan of the

Sex Pistols

and that

was remembered by John Lydon himself

, the band's singer, who had the honor of starring in an embarrassing encounter with the beatle in the late '70s.

Lydon, better known as Johnny Rotten, was married (which is already a gossip for the story).

The truth is that in the

Life Stories

program he said that he was driving with his wife through London and the allegedly unexpected happened: “Two people ran across the street: they were Paul and Linda McCartney.

They saw me and started banging on the car window."

Rotten seems to have been scared as if the intruders were window cleaners: “I put the button to close the doors, then I swerved and ran.

I couldn't bear it.

My shyness took over."

Through the rearview mirror, Rotten could make out the doggy look of McCartney swinging on the asphalt.

The Beatles' punk streak

100% credible: 

Helter Skelter

, The Beatles song from 1968, was composed by Paul McCartney.

Scholars explain that due to its "dirty and aggressive" sound, the song included in the

White Album

is considered a "key piece" in the early development of styles such as heavy metal and punk rock.

And not only heavy metal and punk rock, but it is also proud as the first "hard rock" song.

Another piece of information that reaffirms the origins?

 When they played in Hamburg, The Beatles were pretty punkish

, rock journalists say.

As if that were not enough,

Helter Skelter

 was the cry that made Charles Manson completely crazy.

In one such documentary, Manson syndicated Paul McCartney's theme as a kind of "rally cry" for his massacre in August 1969, a milestone that made him world famous and the father in heaven of Netflix's favorite genre.

All this without forgetting the best thing that Ringo recorded in the Beatles: “I've got blisters on my fingers” (I have blisters on my fingers!).

Starr's scream at the end of such a chaotic, avant-garde song is more important than Munch's Scream.

Paul said: "I think we should make a really beastly record." And that  's where

Helter Skelter was

written .

The Beatles were fucking punks: the event that works as a hidden pearl is that on August 26, 1966 they stopped playing live forever (the terrace thing is invalidated because no tickets were sold).

In other words,

more than half a century ago the first major push-back in the entertainment industry took place

.

A massive group, for whom world tours had been invented, would retire, reinvent themselves, shake off their egos, and stop performing live for good.

Whether you lived in London or Buenos Aires, you were only going to hear about the Beatles through their records.

Nothing more punk than that

.

Johnny Rotten?

A breast-fed baby.

The beginning of the end of his recitals started with the shows at the Hollywood Bowl.

George Martin, historical producer of the Beatles, explained that those concerts in Los Angeles had been "chaos".

He said there was no sound return, "so they couldn't hear what they were singing."

Punks before punk.

There was still a long decade to go before the Sex Pistols landed, and yet The Beatles had already had the courage to get rid of their fans.

What is called having the eggs well laid.

An unprecedented fact and misused by essayism.

Who gives up the crowds?

Are there groups, soloists, avant-garde, human, someone who gets off a hit?

Lydon: "I never liked the Beatles"

On the Sex Pistols, McCartney declared with the incoherence that the question deserved: “Hearing them, yeah, that's the excitement for me.

The music is very good rock and roll and you can see that many other people choose it…”.

What else, Paul?

“You needed kids like that, and the energy they could bring to rock.

Very good music, ”he insisted.

In a television interview, the PIL frontman and former Sex Pistols continued to show his disgust at Sir Paul McCartney's trademark debate-neutralizing praise.

"I never, never liked the Beatles. My parents played their songs all day... I would say too much."

Many years later, with new ingredients, the punk singer's anecdote was heard again: "One day I was with my wife Dora. We were going to visit my brother in Tottenham. In that, driving a car like Mr. Bean's Through Harrod's, we see Paul and Linda McCartney approaching our vehicle."

"Paul starts banging on the car window, so I locked the door, turned around like I didn't see him, and drove off…"

Glen Matlock, a founding member of the Sex Pistols, was allegedly kicked out of the group for liking the Beatles.

It is said that Rotten saw him whistling

Love me do

and did not compensate him.

After all it was a good decision because he was replaced by Syd Vicious and put the story in its rightful place.
