One of the most down to earth gargantuan stars of our lifetime. How this guy has stayed so down to earth is a pleasant mystery.

No "almost seemed" about it.

He was. Who in their right mind wouldn't be?

I’m really surprised they’ve never met before.

@@karlmeredith5134 There's an SNL cold open of the Five Timers Club with Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. It's pretty funny in and of itself. But at the very end, McCartney comes on and it looks like he kind of wasn't expected because Baldwin kinda loses it. It was funny and yet another example of the effect Beatles have on people who are incredibly famous in their own right. Just wanted to share that; your comment made me think of that.

@@finnsterling6514 Paul's lucky Alec didn't shoot him.

So what happened?

@@user-dnf83n0s8sg9u Indeed, further enlightenment on this encounter is called for. C'mon Colette, enquiring and inquiring minds want to know.

@@bodsnvimto I watched a documentary only yesterday, and he lived in rented housing, so did Ringo and George. They had to depend on authorities to house them as they could not afford to buy their own homes. They were ordinary people, and but for some fluke in history, would have remained so. There is nothing for these folks to be arrogant about.

what happened

@@overplayed3553 Guess we'll never know. lol

That is the format of his show, and radio can have no dead air. But I was surpised how quiet Artie was, likely a memo from Howard before the show started.

@@XxxXxx-fm3wo artie also just recently started the show

Yep, I agree!! I do not listen to these two much at all, but isn't that part of their arsenal? I think everyone talking loudly at once seems like their attempt to confuse and catch the guest off guard. I heard the same style of questioning and suggested answers being thrown out there the last time I was tried to enjoy this program years ago. I felt embarrassed by the cheap shots (given in the form of questions) asked to obviously jab at Paul. So glad he didn't take the bait, and kept the interview rolling with great answers and positive energy! Great job Paul!!! ❤️

​@@strangebrew1231name of the show?

OMGosh, especially Robin needed to just plain hush!!! At least Howard was asking questions & mostly back & forth. Robin, not so much. Dang! So annoying! 😬 It was really hard to hear him at all through that interrupting & talking over him very loudly & without stopping. We're watching this to hear him, not them! Wow. (Had to vent a bit, lol.)

Yeah I love Paul and his presence and hearing him tell stories

Agreed🙌

Without question. Amen.

White lower

It might sound weird for a guy to say this, but Ozzy was so cute when he told Paul how he'd always wanted to meet him, etc. I never actually _liked_ Ozzy Osbourne before, but that awkwardness made me like him.

@@haskellbob Ha. At best, I've always been indifferent to Ozzy but yeah, you're right--this made me warm up to him a little.

And I just re-watched that part of the segment. While Paul is discussing Ozzy's bassist or something (no idea what the hell they're talking about here), you can tell Ozzy is not hearing a word he's saying because he's awestruck. And before that, he just walks up and hugs him. Just a really fascinating--and moving--moment of Beatles memorabilia.

​@@finnsterling6514 yeah Ozzy had just told Howard he asked for Paul to play on his album and was blown off

Exactly what I was thinking. They just must not remember ,like come on now.

Yea thought the same. Crazy stuff.

Yeah ..OZZY was in awe of Paul Mcartney......The Beatles gave OZZY the inspiration to be in a band.....and WHAT A BAND!!....BLACK SABBATH!!......OZZY you are a fuckin' LEGEND in your own right!!.....Paul should've been bowing to YOU man!!....The Beatles, and Black Sabbath are my all time favourites in music...I'm 72 and still listen to them CONSTANTLY...👍🏻✌🏻

@@frankhornby6873 nobody cares about Black Sabbath past the 2000s

amazing great authentic moment between 2 legends

Lol I love Howard because he ask the questions we want to know, but he’s obnoxious no doubt. He knows that

I can't stand the constant interruptions I'm like f-ing let him answer one question before you start asking another. Love Paul Mccartney but I can't sit thru a Howard Stern interview with someone.

@@lilinando , yet, you just did.

@@deniselewandowski5274 no I didn't that was the point of my comment. I love Paul mccartney but couldn't sit thru the interview after watching him try to answer even one question with so many interruptions.

@@lilinando then you missed him take control and tell Howard he wasn't answering certain questions

I hate to be a doubting Thomas, but I still think the old adage "where there's smoke there's fire"- is what's up about Faul (George's name for Paul).. and yes, Paul is dead. An amazing lyricist and musician no matter who he has become.😉

It's the working class upbringing. Ozzy Osbourne is the same way.

I think you got it Lydia

He speaks in melodies

Well, both are British. I'm sure Ozzy listened to the Beatles as a teen.

Ozzy had said that Beatles are the ones who made him want to be in music

@@tomm4782 have you heard any of 70s gen rock musicians who didn’t say that ?

@Dench2020 Ironically, The Beatles were inspired and idolized by Elvis Presley,however,Presley said they were a bad influence on the youth. Scary to think since a youth shot and killed Lennon.

He's an English Rockstar. He's legally required to be a fan LOL

Good on ya.

Hahaha

I am watching this in Jan. 2024 Too bad he married Heather. That was a disaster. It seems like he likes being in love. He seems to do fine with Nancy

where is that other interview

That was very funny. I cackled out loud when he said that.

Heather..ughh but I'm sure he takes great care of their daughter

Heather was the perfect example of toxic femininity before it became a thing. I suppose we must thank Heather for setting the standard for such other wonderful women like Brie Larson , Amber Heard , Jada Pinkett Smith , Rachel Zegler and Meghan Markle to name just a few

@@laurarules3642 What did Brie Larson ever do though? As a guy I've never seen her actually say anything even slightly controversial

He organized that Concert for New York.

The two main things, and it may just be a howard stern thing, is that he was just talked over constantly and that there was no sensitivity when talking about moving on from linda.

The difference between a diet of LSD and a diet of every heavy drug known to man (and bats)

@Vita Woolfe99 shush. you're making a fool of yourself

And now Paul looks like an 80 year old lady.

@@solodolotrevino Paul was not a habitual LSD user. He tried it once back in the 60s. Mary Jane* was his drug of choice back in the mellow 70s. Ozzy, on the other hand, was an animal. But unfortunately, his predilection for bats is an urban legend. * marijuana.

Ozzy still did his bit for music.

That's Stern's whole character. Paul and everyone else already knew that beforehand. You just sound pathetic.

Yea but thats sorta what makes me respect Howard, no filter.

​@@thirdhandlv4231Filters can be a good thing sometimes.

Yes and Robin's ever annoying babbling and cackling. I used to be able to tolerate her way back in the day but with every passing decade she just makes my ass itch!

@@BrianBrayMedia not in this inerview because paul two seconds later admitted he felt guilty about having sex with someone new and he would have admitted that without howards prodding "rude" questions

the host tried to dissuade Paul from his intention, intuitively, to no avail

@@Bella-nt7ec indubitably

@@Bella-nt7ec you mean... Howard Stern? The "host"? The fuck...

Every Star on the planet is a peasant compared to Sir Paul

You are correct. Paul knows how nervous people get when they meet him. He saw the nervousness in Ozzy and immediately started talking to break the tension. Paul is a really good guy.

This in-between Era is so painful, 9/11 happened last month and the death of George going to happen the next month 😢💔

Wow

When you know someone like a brother and you've experienced what they have together, it's a very special thing.

Also a little over a month after 9-11-01... So NOTHING was normal in New York and the world at the time.

He couln't say how bad George Harrison's cancer was

So very well stated! ;)

One of the most thoughtful and intelligent comments I have ever read on UKposts. I just really connected with your intuition on Macca, Mr Arrogant.

@@timwright4263 Thanks. Of course, I would contend I always write the most thoughtful and intelligent comments on UKposts... signed, Mr. Arrogant. ;-)

Oops... I replied while signed into my music account. But, make no mistake, I am Mr. Arrogant... or Czar Arrogant - I'll answer to either. And thank you. I do find Stern's interviews more compelling without every one turning into a chaotic free for all.

Agreed 100% Now, if somebody could just put a muzzle on Robin! She was so irritating and unnecessarily intrusive, She really seemed to feel the need to be heard with her stupidity. I know she & and Howard are BFFs and all, but really... Enough! I was happy that Paul kept a leash of decency on the interview. Good one.

Howard knows exactly what NOT to bring up with Paul and that was exactly what he knew he was going bring up. He really has no filter, and I thought he came off kinda disrespectful in this. Even though Paul agreed to come on knowing that Howard has no filter, you would think that Howard would respect the fact that Paul is doing the show and not be a dick by bringing up really really personal stuff like he did here.

painful to watch this interviewer and his sidekick, Paul was cool as anything and handled it superbly.

Paul's been asked the same questions literally for decades, so it's nice to see Howard come in and shake things up.

Purchase went through a case of water

Paul just went through a case of water

why did Paul go to therapy?

@@gnessi4029 i think it had something to do with linda's death

You’re posting this on a public video on the worldwide web for all to see. What’s low key about that?

What a pleasant conversation, you two could be related

Which parts?

Not surprised. Howard and his loudmouth sidekick have no style or grace and think they can get away with asking anything, no matter how personal. Trash.

@@randalclarke5487 About all.

Paul knew what he was getting into.

Howard's grown up a bit since then. He was a bit 'try hard' in this interview and comes across as a loudmouth blowhard.

He’s my role model.

Charming people has always been his thing. Paul has always put up a nice facade to keep people from invading his privacy. He likes to control the image that people have of him. He can definitely be a huge dick and he's very conscious of the fact that he's a big deal. Though he's become a lot more mellow with age.

This was October 2001. Right after 9/11

His interviews were much looser back then and sounded more like an actual conversation. Now he thinks he's Barbara Walters or Oprah Winfrey.🤮 Edited (edited)

Classic Howard was hilarious. He changed for the worse in the 2010’s.

He got on my nerves a few times. Paul really opening up and Howard jumping to different questions without letting him finish just interested in the solatious stuff. And then when he was opening up about speaking to Linda and Howard belittling him laughing saying "not really haha" I thought that was abit out of order making Paul the butt of the joke for believing in nonsense. And just obsessed with wanting the sexual gossip. He doesn't realise what an opportunity he has with speaking to Paul and at times he completely ruining it in parts with disoresectful nonsense. Paul's a better man than me I'd have got triggered with a few things he says

@@edited7382 yeah... realized that seconds into his recent mila kunis interview.. that sucks.

There was a reason Howie got to where he is. The 90s and the early 2000s? Howard was just such a legend. And im 21...

He's still unhappy bout Ozzy's dis tune to Paul's daddy

It was more Robin unnecessarily butting in and adding pointless things to Howards questions, which is what she does a lot. Paul has been on this show multiple times since this first appearance. Robin is annoying in a couple of those too but not nearly as much as she was here. His later interviews are much more insightful and laid back than this one.

So fucking frustrating

THATS WHY PEOPLE TOLD HIM NOT TO DO THE SHOW BUT ASSHOLE PAUL STILL DID IT.

lol, he did more shows with Howard after.

she gotta go

A well deserved finger.

Yeah. I usually don’t buy into the belief that Robin is annoying and needs to shut up, but I feel like that for this interview. I think she was too excited and wanted to make sure she contributed. She kept talking over people.

@@Pumpkinking64 I was just noticing that. She laughs it off when one of her darts doesn't hit its target (when Paul doesn't stop talking so she can). I agree, though, that she was too excited. Howard was too.

No! All the water he drank turned into perspiration and sweat!

Lol he drank like 3 bottles

Good observation!

Yes...like calling one nail in the wall "art". She was real good at such "art".

‼️

Holy shit it’s so bad

Robin provides a counterbalance and reins Howard in. They make a good team and Robin made a great contribution to the success of the show.

@@pete1759 she is a talentless horror show.

@@mikewest6569 I always thought she was like a straight “man” and provided a nice balance to the show. It wouldn’t be the same without her. I guess we can agree to disagree.

Yeah! Ozzy was all tongue-tied and awkward.

I actually get a little choked up watching that part.

Who says? I would've met someone at the funeral. Lol

power of Beatles

@@goku4114 Greatest ever

Ozzy said : »when I first met Paul it is like I saw God »

He could barely spe@k

there is noone on earth at this point that Paul mccartney takes a backseat too...he has been one of if the most most famous men on earth since age 21...he is 80....Noone has maintained that type of fame for that long. he is beyond a generational figure. at this point he is historical in terms of the greatest humans to ever walk to planet. obviously there have been greater contributions from inventors and scientists etc etc, but the sheer joy he has brought people for over a half century is tough to compute since noone has done it that long. as admired and universally loved as he is , upon his death his contributions will be pored over by the masses and his stock will only go up.

agreed, wonder why he said yes - but he's always been a master promoter/marketer of his latest releases

He’s been back two more times on Howard.

Nothing compared to the chick she's talking about getting married to who then eventually filed for divorce in 2006 and took a lot of his money

Yeah - he’s too nice of a guy.

@@michaelfleming8490 3 actually I think

he was playing a character back then

He pulled out his A-game for Paul McCartney.

'Interview skills' ???? He and that woman are like 2 loud, rude teenagers. No style, no grace.

and to talk about moving on from linda so insensitively and casually

That’s the show

You don't get to that position by being starstruck and timid like an average nobody. There's a reason his show was so popular and stood the test of time. We want to hear these people asked the entertaining questions.

This is 20 years ago

He was 59 years old

@Vita Woolfe99 You either imagine someone made a bot that comments with very specific observations about Howard Stern’s videos for reasons that are inexplicable, or your own comment is made by a bot designed to spread irony across the Internet .

There's obviously a level of respect there where he can ask these things. Paul knows the show is controversial and he would be asked controversial or uncomfortable questions, that's the nature of the show and what makes the show a success, Stern asks the questions we are all thinking but don't have the balls to ask.

He really did have stars in his eyes, didn't he?

Meanwhile? Meanwhile you're another inane UKposts dipshit who thinks you've uncovered something. Oh shit, you mean sometimes people end up doing shit that they previously believed they would never do? This won't be a revelation once you turn 15...

@@78bcat dude are you okay?

Turned out to be a good question. Paul lost $48 million to her when they split.

Howard got divorced. Makes total sense to remarry to “find actual love” or whatever. I think Howard’s point was about getting remarried soon after losing your apparent soulmate of 30 years.

@@78bcat Is this not Billy Shears?

Can't stand her.

Not just Robin, the other one too.

I was just noticing how much interrupting she does, how often she tries to grab the rudder of the conversation. 10:40

Robin has ALWAYS been annoying.
