GEORGE: I Remember Saying, “Well, One Of Us Has Gotta Be The Bass Player, And It’s Not Me. I’m

GEORGE: I remember saying, “Well, one of us has gotta be the bass player, and it’s not me. I’m not doing it.” And John said, “I’m not doing it, either.” Paul just went for it. (1995) JOHN: Paul’s bass playing is underrated. Paul was one of the most innovative bass players ever. And half the stuff that is going on now is directly ripped off from his Beatles period. He’s an egomaniac about everything else about himself, but his bass playing he was always a bit coy about. He’s a great musician who plays the bass like few other people could play it. (1980) RINGO: Paul is still, to this day for me, one of the most incredible melodic bass players around. He’s just incredible. (2016) PAUL: As time went on, I realized that I didn’t have to just play the root notes. At first if it was C, F, G, then it was normally C, F, G that I played. But then I started to realize that you could be pulling on that G, or just staying on the C when it went into F. And then I took it beyond that. I thought, well, if you can do that, what else could you do? You might even be able to play notes that aren’t in the chord. I just started to experiment. What could you do? Well, maybe you can use different notes. Sevenths instead of the regular notes, or maybe even a little tune through the chords that doesn’t exist anywhere else. Maybe I can have an independent melody. (2018)

ULM vol. 3 is back on YT - with some additions!

These are the additions I noticed:

John's statement about George (I think from Lennon Remembers) that he wouldn't buy his album, that ATMP means nothing to him, and that George should be grateful that he could learn from John and Paul.

The addiction of John and Linda's performance of "Love in strange" in the background when the song "Bless you" sounded with the line: "Love is strange".

Excerpt from a 1975 interview with John in which he says he wonders what Paul thought of his performance of "I Saw Her Standing There" at Madison Square Garden.

The questionnaire, in which John described Paul as extraordinary, Bowie as thin etc., was supplemented with pictures.

The ending (which kinda broke my heart).

Reporter: How do you like not having any privacy?

Paul: We do have some, you know.

John: We just had some. We just had some before, didn't we, Paul? You tell them.

George: Yes, we just had some drinks over there.

Paul: Help yourself a drink, folks.

00:03 - Yes, John and Paul kiss. Paul:“To say about the girls that you….do”

00:25 - They kiss again. John, in a sexy voice: “Alright Paul, come along now..”

00:58 - John whispers : “McCartney”

01:13 - John: “Now, give us a kiss! ha ha!” “Mmm” “Ok..” “That might be an idea…”

and don’t try to tell me these aren’t kisses ‘cause I won’t believe you anyway.
