The lyrics Paul McCartney said were never good enough for The Beatles
High standards.
From The Vault Archives: 02/2026
The one song Brian Wilson never enjoyed listening to: “It’s a crapped-out lead”
Not giving his best effort.
The Beatles song John Lennon accused Rod Stewart of ripping off: “That’s one the publishers never noticed”
“That’s one the publishers never noticed.”
The guitarist Joe Perry said was in a different league: “The genius”
Having his own musical language.
The singer Stevie Nicks called the last legend of pop: “The last emperor”
Effortless musical brilliance.
The one album Josh Homme said was painful to make: “I pray to the god of rock ’n’ roll”
Inspiration that hurts the soul.
The guitarist Dave Grohl could have never worked with: “I was asking to leave”
Not clicking in the right way.
