I wonder if this also happens with Mick....
Paul McCartney admits to forgetting parts of his back catalogue
'There's a huge period in the '70s - I couldn't tell you what was on the albums then,' says the former Beatles member
Paul McCartney has said that he sometimes forgets what some of his lesser known songs sound like, as he recorded them in a period when he was "befuzzled".
Speaking to NME in this week's issue, which is available digitally and on newsstands now, the former Beatle says that points in the period between The Beatles ending and getting his band Wings started are a mystery to him.
"There's a huge period in the '70s - I couldn't tell you what was on the albums then," says McCartney. "It was a bit befuzzled. It was after the end of The Beatles and I was a bit like, 'Oh God, where are we gonna go now?' Trying to get Wings together. There are some tracks there. I've seen tracklistings and thought, 'I wonder what that one's like?'"

Mick claims it does but I don't believe it for a second. This was brought up on the board some time ago and I remember debating it.

Not to revive that debate--because I wasn't here for it when it was being discussed--but I'd bet you a month's worth of beer that if suddenly called upon to sing any track from Between The Buttons he would need to review a lyrics sheet first.
In the rehearsal footage on the Shine A Light DVD, Mick even had to look over at Chuck to cue him on the lines from She Was Hot, and that one is from the early 80s.

Sorry, misunderstanding. I'm sure he's forgotten the lyrics to lots of songs.
I meant specifically he claims to not know what songs were on what albums. Like 'Factory Girl'..."What album is that song on Bill?"
Mick knows.

Ah, I see. But I'm sure you believe Charlie when he says he doesn't know what songs are on which album--because everyone knows he's yet to even listen to a Stones album.

I dont like the new album..I'm kinda disapointed by the production, cause..I think McCartney has a great live band on tours - they rock - the drummer is amazing, so why the lame modern synth ridden production on the album.. Dont get it. I was hoping that he would let us enjoy the band he has...
I think he's trying to be hip and stay on the modern edge, big mistake - I get it - but when you have a great kick ass rock n roll band - why make an album that sounds like New Kids On The Block and Backstreet Boys ? Why compete with those teenagers, why not stay mature. Those new songs would have sounded much better with a real rock n roll garage sound, Hamburg -era Beatles production would have been perfect.

I don't think the choice of modern production is to be hip. There are only hints of it on the album anyway, it's not like he has made a record with hip-hop beats. On his recent Fireman album, there are plenty of this kind of music, so I think it's more a question of his sideprojects slowly being absorbed into his main albums. Unlike our favourite band on this board, McCartney seems to never stop being curios and experiment with his sound.

No disrespect- Barry White, Teddy, will but they are music of substance. Yes there are a couple of Rap songs that will. It will be soon forgotten 2020. The music Stones, CCR, etc.. will still be around
