“I was always trying to write something different, trying to not write in character…I sat down and wrote ‘Helter Skelter’ to be the most raucous vocal, the loudest drums, etcetera etcetera.” - Paul McCartney #Anthology2025

@PaulMcCartney Helter Skelter, Birthday, and a few other numbers had a tough driving sound that laid the foundation for heavy metal.

@PaulMcCartney Please release Etcetera!

@PaulMcCartney Yes, now let's hear the 27-minute version and Carnival of Light!

@PaulMcCartney So at what point are we getting the documentary on the White Album because we always just get random footage of sessions every few years. Someone get Peter on the phone

@PaulMcCartney And he invented heavy metal in the process. Cool.

@PaulMcCartney I really wanted to watch and listen to rarities... You could release more than Anthology

@PaulMcCartney Compare Helter-Skelter to Sgt.Peppers to Penny Lane to Paperback Writer to Here, There, Everywhere - all McCartneys songs. There will never be another band who can write one masterpiece after the other in so many different styles like Lennon/McCartney

@PaulMcCartney Same artistic concept with which he approached Sgt. Pepper ... pretended they were another band, and yada, yada, yada ... best album in history. @PaulMcCartney

@PaulMcCartney I wonder what he thinks of the Siouxsie and The Banshees cover version from their debut album in 1978. That’s certainly quite raucous.

@PaulMcCartney Be loud 📢 be proud 🦚

@PaulMcCartney great song

@PaulMcCartney It is amazing how this turned into the final rendition.

@PaulMcCartney Charles Manson vibes.

@PaulMcCartney Thank you Sir Paul for all you give us. Love you!

@PaulMcCartney Absolute classic piece of writing must say!!

@PaulMcCartney 👍😊

@PaulMcCartney Well you succeeded, Paul. I always comment on how diverse is.

@PaulMcCartney My favorite song on that record. Love to hear the Barry Gibb beginning and glad they picked another take!

@PaulMcCartney That was a Striking Song. Unfortunately People like Charles Manson took it as a Personal Message from The Beatles!

@PaulMcCartney 😎🤟👓

@PaulMcCartney D-２８ lefthand use this time

@PaulMcCartney I think the story was that he heard another rocker (I think Pete Townsend) talking about writing a song like that, but Pete never did it. So Paul thought, "I'm going to do it!"

@PaulMcCartney

@PaulMcCartney Wow

@PaulMcCartney Great song. 💪🤘🤘🤘

@PaulMcCartney there’s no question that John was always the better singer of the band

Can't wait to hear HS 27 min version, Carnival of Light with Shirley's Wild Accordion, take 20 of Revolution, and the 9 min version of Flying, from Anthology 4! ... Oh wait, I won't.
