McCartney Records Punk Track With Rolling Stones in 10 Minutes
2 Jul
Summary
- Paul McCartney recorded a fast-paced punk track with the Rolling Stones.
- The session for 'Covered in You' took McCartney approximately 10 minutes.
- Mick Jagger initially had reservations about McCartney's bass playing style.
Paul McCartney recently contributed his bass guitar skills to the Rolling Stones for their track 'Covered in You.' This collaboration came as a unique experience for both artists, as McCartney had previously only sung with the band. Mick Jagger expressed initial reservations, concerned that McCartney might not suit the high-energy, overdriven bass required for the punk-influenced song. However, Jagger was impressed when McCartney recorded his parts flawlessly in approximately ten minutes.
McCartney himself described the recording session as a delightful return to band collaboration. He shared that he was thrilled to simply arrive with his bass and contribute to the Stones' music. He also observed the other band members, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, and Mick Jagger, diligently working on their respective parts during the recording process.
Separately, Mick Jagger also addressed the long-standing notion of a rivalry between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones during the 1960s. He acknowledged a degree of truth to the PR-driven narrative, likening it to the New York vs. Los Angeles dynamic, but suggested it was largely amplified for public consumption.
