What is Paul McCartney releasing next? Life after Egypt Station

Maybe a supergroup with Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Van Morrison and Bruce Springsteen, but I wouldn't count on it.

 

Paul Trek III: The Search For Rupert

 

Other than a one off song, I'm not sure Paul would really ever consider a super group arrangement. Even if it was 1 album. It is interesting to think about though.

 

No Ringo!?

 

I love Electric Arguments. It's a magnificent piece of work. To think each song was (at least claimed to have been) written in a day.

Off topic, has anyone noticed in "Sun Is Shining", at the end of the first verse, when he says "ohhhhhh", that it sounds (very clearly to me, anyways) like two different vocal takes edited together, almost sounding like it clicks to another take in the middle of the "ohhhhh"?

 

He wasn't even the best drummer in the Rolling Stones, what makes you think he'd cut it for Led Floyd?

 

I wouldn't like that group, where are the rockers!?

I'd surround McCartney with Eric Clapton on lead, and Keith Richards on rhythm with Ian Paice on drums, now that's a super group! It's also one that would absolutely rock!

 

Realistically does Paul have a "rocker" voice anymore?

I think we've moved into the Yanni/Kenny G/YoYo Ma phase of supergroups.

 

I’d like to see an “experimental” super group. Something like:

Paul McCartney
John Cale
Brian Eno
Michael Rother
Gary Numan
Suzanne Ciani
Scott Walker

Call them Paulie and the Blue Sways.

 

Valhalla Station - -McCartney

 

I wonder if the first single will be a cover of the Immigrant Song?

 

Maybe you've moved there, but McCartney hasn't, he's still belting out Helter Skelter.

Though age has taken effect, he can do rockers, it's the slow ballads that really challenge him.

 

Dang, the titles for Track 1 and Track 2 haven’t leaked yet!

 

I would be so daring as to say that his rocker voice is all he's got. It's just doesn't sound like his younger rocker voice.

 

I would love to see a DELUXE London Town

 

Wasn't there also a rumored leftovers album from New that never materialized?

Uneducated guess: His next album will be classical.

 

A massive vault excavation of unreleased tracks and b-sides is well, well overdue. Forget Cold Cuts, it should be a massive release on the scale of the Anthologies (or at least Lennon's Anthology set).

 

Life after Egypt Station would be Spirits of Ancient Egypt.

 

I'm reminded of a quote I read in the defunct Egypt Station appreciation thread, about Damon Albarn telling not to work with Kanye. I'd love to hear a collaboration of some sort with Albarn, another of my fave musicians. Produced by Kanye

Yep, definitely. His rock voice is the least affected. He should focus his concerts more on that style.

 

Maybe we are just thinking of two different things. I'm thinking of that last stretch of Who Cares or Maybe I'm Amazed the last time on SNL where he's basically just croaking the songs.

I'm not sure a rock album of just that would be suitable.

I do think his ballad or pop song style voice where he doesn't have to belt it out is what he can still use effectively despite the changes.

 

What is Paul McCartney releasing after Egypt Station?
Easy, an album called China Airport!^^

 

Whatever he want...

 

My thinking is they just repeated the first verse for the second and did a sloppy join at that point.

 

I don't know, I don't feel the chemistry. They'd just do their bluesrock riffs and then take a nap.
