Save for “Band on the Run” and “Hands across the water,” I’ve never really been impressed with Paul’s solo music. While George and John’s solo records really pushed the envelope and challenged listeners, Paul’s recordings always struck me as rather bland and too consistent.
SIR PAUL McCARTNEY battled with maverick producer NIGEL GODRICH over his new solo album, because the former RADIOHEAD mogul refused to refrain from criticising him.
McCartney appeared at the London Live 8 gig on Saturday (02JUL05) fresh from the studio where he and Godrich have been working on CHAOS AND CREATION IN THE BACKYARD – the former BEATLE’s first studio release in four years.
Godrich was recommended by former Beatles producer SIR GEORGE MARTIN – and the singer has found his no-nonsense attitude refreshing.
The pop legend says, “People get a little sycophantic around me, but Nigel was the opposite.
“He’d dismiss my rough demos out of hand if he didn’t like them. He was quite cheeky. He took me out of my comfort zone and really tested me. There were awkward moments but we never came to blows.”
McCartney does indeed play all the instruments on the track and on the majority of the album.
I think the track is okay. Truth be told McCartney hasn’t written a “hit” single in the last fifteen years even though his albums during those years have been some of his best. In fact the singles on albums such as “Flaming Pie,” “Run, Devil, Run,” and “Driving Rain,” have been the least interesting tracks on them.
I must say, as an indie rock fan myself, I’m tired of cooler than thou hipsters (such as the ones who posted above) dissing McCartney because they think that’s the cool thing to do. Honestly, all of your “Bright Eyes” albums won’t spontaneously explode if you formed your own opinion.
For every crap song like “Ebony And Ivory” he’s recorded an amazing track, many of which can be found on 1972′s “Ram.” If someone put it out today it would be thought of as the indie album of the year.
My point is if you know McCartney’s work and still want to say he’s a bad dye job hack, rock on. If you don’t, shut the F up.
Great song! I love it!! He’s still the man and will always be… despite the critics. While alive and playing he will alway be the finishing act of every big event. Why? Because he’s the biggest of all those big musicians!
Great song!! It’s getting better all the time.
This songs makes one thing clear, the album Chaos and creation in the backyard will be the best cd release of 2005!! Yes the man is music himself.
Totally agree with you John, WTF? If you don’t think Paul has written a good song since the seventies, you obviously either haven’t listened to crap, or you don’t know squat about music!!! I can’t wait to hear this new song. Paul has written hundreds of songs and even at his worst, he is better than most mainstream artists. Loved the Album McCartney, Ram, Pipes of Peace, Flowers in the Dirt…the list goes on and on. If you don’t like Paul. Please just don’t listen to him. Then maybe his ticket prices will go down and I’ll be able to afford a better seat at his shows instead of 200 bucks for General Admission (worst seats in the house).
Macca’s Ram is not only one of the best Beatle solo albums, its one of the greatest ever recorded. Definitely in the top 100 of all time. Go listen kids! PS Check out any tracks by Karl Wallinger’s World Party… some of the greatest RAM influenced music!
paul is always great , never stop working hard , i like this song , good music , but as a single it may strugle to find a place in the top 10 , at this time where most of the new songs come up from young genration of singers and bands , well done paul , keep going
I love a fine line but i’m sure there has to be a better single for this album. I agree with the comment that the singles used on the past 4 albums should have not been used. even though they are fine songs nothing about them stood out. By the way i also have to disagree about paul’s solo work. Flowers in the dirt, Flaming Pie,Tug of war(ecept ebon and ivor), London Town, Venus and Mars, Band on the Run, Red Rose Speedway, Ram, Run Devil Run, Driving Rain, and Mccartney are all fine albums that should be in anyone’s libary. What is this crap about John Lennon pushing the envelop. John was lazy and use only half his talent since the Beatles. Except the album Imagine none of his other albums really did much. Paul will never match the Beatles. But he is definatley morecreative than 90% of today’s artist. By The way Green Day has proved to me to be the closet thing to the beatles since the Beatles. God bless
Good song, no doubt. Not a hit one, but one of his better songs indeed. It always is a good sign, what comes to his albums, if Sir P. takes care of all the instruments by himself.. i love his drum playing! ..yeaah.. dig it…!
anyway nohing good can happen with this new band anderson etc….BUT!!!!there s always one or two little perla on a paul s lp better than all others artists!!!
This is the same crap as the crap on Flaming Pie…I’ve alway’s loved Paul but it’s been a long time since he’s put anything out worth listening to. So I’ll keep on listening to his older stuff–Ram, Venus & Mars, Back To The Egg..right up to Off The Ground. And that’s all people want to hear when they go his concert’s. But that’s OK.
Everybody who thinks McCartney hasn’t done anything worth while since the Wings days hasn’t listened to “Off the Ground” or “Flaming Pie” of the last few years.
I feel, as with most releases, the lame record labels never put out the best song as the first single (and they never did land on the right one with “Driving Rain”, his last release).
This is a good start and makes me want to hear more. The fact that Paul had somebody pushing him to not “settle” is a good sign.
John was my favorite Beatle, but McCartney is by far the better composer. “Double Fantasy” was pushing the envelope? Come on…
To those who dismiss McCartney’s career out of hand, especially in relation to his fellow Beatles, quit parroting a false myth. Harrison’s solo albums were pretty bad after his first one, and though Imagine and Plastic Ono Band were great, on his following albums up until his death Lennon was coasting on a string of mediocrity.
The thing about McCartney is that he released a lot of crap, which unfortunately has to be waded through to get to the good stuff. But Band On The Run and Ram are two of the best albums of the 70s, and macca’s non-album singles (Helen Wheels, Hi Hi Hi, Another Day, Junior’s Farm, Mull Of Kintyre) were consistently terrific. By far the most interesting canon of any of the ex-Beatles, even if you cut off his work at 1980.
The blusey lyrics are the highlight in Fine Line, and its catchy. This is growing on me but the intro piano sounds childish.
I know of Nigel’s cred as producer and look forward to hearing Paul’s new album, i believe Paul surrounds himself with “yes men” producers at the best of times but to hear that Nigel openly said to Paul his stuff sounds “too Cheesy” I believe Nigel pushed him on this one so I’m sitting up and paying attention!!!
I am a BIG Macca fan and believe as many others do here that yeah, you gotta go thru the mud to get the diamonds as far as his songs are concerned. I
I love his stuff thru the 70′s to now and enjoy McCartney, Ram, Venus & Mars, Band on the Run, Flowers in the Dirt, Flaming Pie,Driving Rain. Choice of singles seem to let him down (From a lover to a friend…what was he thinking???)
I love it that people here love the Ram album, its a pearler!! here’s a hot tip, Kid’s, listen to it!
Rock on Macca! Your music is still better than that plastic tripe other music “artists” serve to the masses!!!
I don’t know what kind of problems all the people have you know…
I mean, ok .. Paul hasn’t written another Sgt Pepper with that song, so what?!? Nobody says he has to, or do you all expect him to do it?
Do you think 50 cent’s better or what? If I look around the world, with Paris Hilton making a record, and Britney Spears’s and Jessica Simpson’s everywhere I feel so blessed that there are still people like Paul around, giving the world beautiful music!
Labussiere has it right. There are always two or three gems every time Paul steps back into the spotlight. Very often they are to be found as b-sides. Increasingly (in the 1980s especially) moderate single followed moderate single, and yet the various Wings/Solo out-takes which appeared as b-sides were wonderful.
‘Fine Line’, though typical, is a great single as much beacause it exists as anything else. In ten years time there may be no such thing as a new Paul single so enjoy it for what it is!
By the way, am I the only person in the world that considers ‘Wild Life’ to be his best album?
Despite the commercial albums released by McCartney, one should never despise his under-pseudonym stuff, a release that has made me put attention to this guy is Liverpool Sound Collage. His recent collaboration with remixer Freelance Hellraiser for the making of a new techno album under the name Twin Freaks is another demotion due to lack of attention by the music media centred on McCartney’s 90s-00s work.This guy can do anything beside Pop & Rock music!
I have been one of the greatest Beatles fans ever. I’m 48 years old, & “grew up with the Beatles,” so you may want to consider what I have to say. (By the way, don’t believe me? Play Revolution 9 backwards, towards the beginning, & you will a regular piano, playing that melody that sounds so eery when played forward.)
It would be nice if Paul could really knock our socks off, one of these times, with a new song as phenomenal as Hey Jude or Helter Skelter, but that is probably expecting too much.
So I listened to this silly little song called “Fine Line.” Okay, it has a catchy melody, which is something Sir McCartney is superb at coming up with. Why the changing chords, at the end of this 2-3 minute tune, resemble Green Day’s “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” is beyond me. It’s maybe like Paul McCartney playing Jeff Lynn hits or something.
So, the things that I know of, that were really good were “McCartney,” which is Paul’s first post-Beatle effort, and a few other tunes from his other LP’s/albums/cd’s. “Maybe I’m Amazed” comes across as a Beatles song. The rest are Paul on his on, coasting along, though “Too Many People,” the opening tune on the album “Ram” (and the Back Seat of My Car, closing tune on same album), also had stirred up some post-Beatles excitement in me (years ago). Also, Ringo’s single “It Don’t Come Easy,” Harrisons “My Sweet Lord,” “What is Life,” and John Lennon’s “Imagine,” “I Don’t Wanna Be a Soldier, Mama, and “How Do You Sleep” are all superb songs.
Anyway, I used to listen to Paul’s “Red Rose Speedway,” “Venus and Mars,” “Band On the Run,” but sort of lost track of his work, when upteen other albums came out, although maybe Wings “At the Speed of Sound” is pretty good; I don’t know never heard it, except for “Silly Love Songs,” & some B-side of the single, which ain’t all the good, which is also on the “(Speed of Sound)” LP.
I did hear “Flaming Pie,” once; The last song, produced by Sir George Martin (along with Paul, maybe — I don’t remember, for sure), “Beautiful Night,” is kinda good.
So, you see, I have checked, now and then, to see if Paul has come up with anything like the songs he wrote, when he was with the Beatles, and all I can say is “Get Back!”
Oops, I listened to this song, again. Not really anything I would want to listen to, a bunch of times. However, the (seemingly) backwards cymbals sounds, and the (forwards) tamborine and Piano timbre sort of sound, to me, reminiscent of the Beatles’ “Day Tripper” and “We Can Work It Out” Days.
Nice to hear from Paul again, anyway, though. If you want to hear a song that reminds you of the Beatles, try listening to Nickleback’s new one, “Photograph.”
Green Day does not remind me of the Beatles much at all, by the way. (This is a comment on something one of you other folks had to say, about Paul’s “Fine Line” — or whatever subject you were on.)
After losing real artists like Mercury, Lennon, Harrison (why did you blame him so much? have ever listened to 33&1/3?), Sir Paul is the only genius left we have. In this world where everyone seems everyone and everything is the same indeed, he’s always original!
‘Fine Line’ is not a masterpiece, but listening to ‘Growing Up, Falling Down’ (the b-side) everyone can see there’s a lot of new interesting stuff to wait for. God bless Paul & Vlovelyn!
Nice to see us huge Macca fans can love the man’s music and still be critical. Shows we’re not complete idiots and can discern good Macca from bad. What’s Rod Stewart, Eric Clapton and other contemporaries doing? Not producing original – or even good material anymore. McCartney continues to rock! Fine Line – though no Hey Jude – is a cool little tune with awesome production values. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the disc (as we all know the single is always his worst one).
I’m a huge fan of Wings but other than that, Paul McCartney isn’t that great as a solo artist. His solo stuff isn’t horrible compared to alot of other solo artist, but compared to his days with the Beatles, it’s pretty shitty. But I think Fine Line’s a great song’ McCartney always had this country thing about him, and it suits him.
Does anyone else hear a similarity between the piano in Paul McCartney’s song “Fine Line” and John Lennon’s song “Remember” from (his first real solo effort) the Plastic Ono Band LP?
Going to have a listen now.
Don’t hold much hope though, since he has only written about two good songs since 1970.
Save for “Band on the Run” and “Hands across the water,” I’ve never really been impressed with Paul’s solo music. While George and John’s solo records really pushed the envelope and challenged listeners, Paul’s recordings always struck me as rather bland and too consistent.
Thanks AOL for not supporting macs… and they wonder why everyone hates them…
I must admit…I have mad love for Wings…but most everything else since there…boo.
nigel godrich produced this…eager to listen but am at work

nigel godrich vs. paul mccartney “coming to blows”?
i love ya, macca, but that candy-ass of yours would crack upon hitting the ground!
not even my man Nigel can save us from bad songwriting
it SOUNDS very good especially the drums and bass…did paul play all the instruments?
he did play drums on “dear prudence”
this song is not catchy or satisfying at all however
McCartney does indeed play all the instruments on the track and on the majority of the album.
I think the track is okay. Truth be told McCartney hasn’t written a “hit” single in the last fifteen years even though his albums during those years have been some of his best.

all you punk asses need to go listen to ram and shut the hell up..
that album kicks all other albums in the f@#king dust…
just go listen to “monkberry moon delight” you retards….
and wish you could write a song as rockin as that…
that is all.. I have ranted enough…
god bless macca
here’s an mp3 that sounds better than the aolstream:
http://idigworms.blogspot.com/2005/08/mp3-mccartneys-fine-line.html
Great song! I love it!! He’s still the man and will always be… despite the critics. While alive and playing he will alway be the finishing act of every big event. Why? Because he’s the biggest of all those big musicians!
If you don’t own Ram make it the next CD you buy.
listen up you basher idiots, this is maccas best work in eight years! This album is going to be amazing.
Great song!! It’s getting better all the time.
This songs makes one thing clear, the album Chaos and creation in the backyard will be the best cd release of 2005!! Yes the man is music himself.
a good song not sure if its a strong enough single but paul you are great.
Totally agree with you John, WTF? If you don’t think Paul has written a good song since the seventies, you obviously either haven’t listened to crap, or you don’t know squat about music!!!

My fave macca song:
“flying to my home” the rocking B-side of once upon a lang ago (i think)
Good song, no doubt. Not a hit one, but one of his better songs indeed. It always is a good sign, what comes to his albums, if Sir P. takes care of all the instruments by himself.. i love his drum playing! ..yeaah.. dig it…!
