McCartney's Thumb

[nula]

McCartney has a mean thumb going at full speed on this one.

Question: Would it have been the same damn classic song with fingers style?

Is it my imagination or does he suddenly have a pick at the very end?

What you see is not what you hear. This is not a live performance.

Here's a tricky one: Would it have been the same damn classic song with the best bass for metal, brightest flats, finger technique of Steve Harris and the bass tone of Hysteria?

[perkidan]

Would it have been the same damn classic song if it was another song?

That's because this is not a live performance. TV magic my friends. His pick tone is quite clear in the audio and if it was actually a live performance you would hear a lot less of The Beatles and a lot more of the screaming girls. Plus it would most likely be much faster.
