How about all of his classical albums? Thrillington yes but not the classical ones 3. Do you have all three 'Fireman' albums, 'Twin Freaks' and the 'Liverpool Sound Collage'? None of them 4. How many times have you seen Paul in concert? Three times now 5. Have you ever queued overnight for a gig or tickets to a gig? No way 6. Have you ever met Paul McCartney - if so, how many times and how? No but I have met Sue Cook 7. How many of Paul's books do you own? None that he wrote 8. How many books about Paul do you own and which ones? Many Years From now, The Alan Clayson one, Blackbird, Wingspan, there's a couple of others in the loft that are burried and I can't remember what they're called. 9. Do you celebrate Paul's birthday? Well I might get p*ssed and watch one of his DVD's if I'm off work. 10. How many Paul McCartney DVDs do you own? I can eight on the shelf 11. Have you ever visited one of Paul's homes, hoping to catch a glimpse of him? No, I think it's rude. 12. Do you have any Paul McCartney/Wings-related tattoos? No thank you 13. Have you ever travelled overseas for Paul McCartney-related endeavours? Nope 14. Have you named any of your pet - or children? - after Paul? Yes, I used to have a pair of angel fish called Paul and Linda 15. Have you bought other McCartney family products such as Stella's clothes/fragrances or Linda's food/music?

Finally, on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, how big a fan of Paul McCartney do you think you are? Very difficult to say really, I would imagine I'm in the top ten percent of the worlds population so that would be a ten but then wouldn't that be the same for everyone here? I'll say 7 or 8 so people can say a higher number and beat me. |

The "How BIG a Paul McCartney Fan Are YOU" Survey I like it! :clap: 1. How many Wings or Paul McCartney solo albums do you own? All of them. 3 copies of Band on the Run (cassette, CD in New World Collection, 25th anniversary edition) 2 copies each of Wing Greatest, Venus and Mars, Press to Play, Pipes of Peace, London Town and Back to the Egg. (Cassette or vinyl replaced on CD) 2 copies of the Russian album, CD and original Russian vinyl. 2. Do you have 'Thrillington'? How about all of his classical albums? Yes. And yes. 3. Do you have all three 'Fireman' albums, 'Twin Freaks' and the 'Liverpool Sound Collage'? Yes, yes and yes. Also, many 12" singles, a couple of picture discs and interviews. 4. How many times have you seen Paul in concert? I have seen Paul 100% of the times I had the opportunity to. Yes, once. :P 5. Have you ever queued overnight for a gig or tickets to a gig? No. 6. Have you ever met Paul McCartney - if so, how many times and how? No. 7. How many of Paul's books do you own? None. As an author, he's a top bass player. 8. How many books about Paul do you own and which ones? Three or four, depending on what you count. You can only read the same story in so many ways. 9. Do you celebrate Paul's birthday? No. 10. How many Paul McCartney DVDs do you own? All of them. 11. Have you ever visited one of Paul's homes, hoping to catch a glimpse of him? No. I'm a fan, not a stalker. 12. Do you have any Paul McCartney/Wings-related tattoos? No, but I don't like tattoos anyway. 13. Have you ever travelled overseas for Paul McCartney-related endeavours? No. 14. Have you named any of your pet - or children? - after Paul? No. 15. Have you bought other McCartney family products such as Stella's clothes/fragrances or Linda's food/music? I have Linda's album, contemplated her cookbooks and admire her photography. 16. Do you think that Paul's solo and/or Wings stuff is just as good (surely not better?) than his work in The Beatles? Music is either good or it isn't. John always regarded his work as part of a single, ongoing piece and I don't see what Paul should be any different. He's done some stuff that blows but there's more than enough good stuff to keep me interested. 17. Do you have Paul's autograph? What is it on? Do you have it more than once? It's printed on several of his album covers. 18. Do you have a photograph with you and Paul? Can you reproduce it here (no photoshopped pics, please - we will be able to tell!)? See above. 19. Do you have all of Paul's single releases as well - or some? I can't claim all, but I'd say most. Well over 90% 20. Would you marry Paul if he asked you? I think we should get to know each other a little better first. 21. Do you own any bootlegs? If so, how many and what are they? I'm not a ravenous bootleg collector but I've got some cool stuff. Several shows from the 1993 tour. Two shows from 2002. Warm-up gig in New York from 1992. A couple of 1990 shows. 22. Finally, on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, how big a fan of Paul McCartney do you think you are? Big enough to have filled in the survey but not big enough to bicker with anyone else over the title. I can enjoy music just as much as the next person. Everything else is just garnish. Thank you! ^_^ Darling. Edited by Bill, Dec 23 2008, 06:37 AM.

Yes, once for the Electric Ballroom MAF secret gig. 6. Have you ever met Paul McCartney - if so, how many times and how? Nope, although I've been across the road from him, too aware that I'd be crossing a line if I crossed over and spoke to him. 7. How many of Paul's books do you own? Just Blackbird Singing. 8. How many books about Paul do you own and which ones? A couple, but I've read all of them (I think) as I've borrowed them from the library. 9. Do you celebrate Paul's birthday? Not really, although I do wish him happy birthday if I remember. 10. How many Paul McCartney DVDs do you own? Around half a dozen, although they're officially Fiona's. 11.

God, no. 13. Have you ever travelled overseas for Paul McCartney-related endeavours? Nope. Just up to Liverpool - that's foreign enough. :P 14.

Compared to some people here, I think I'm about an 8. Maybe a 9, tops. I've thought of a few more questions, which I'll add now. |

17. Do you have Paul's autograph? What is it on? Do you have it more than once? Sadly, no. 18. Do you have a photograph with you and Paul?

Would you marry Paul if he asked you? No - he's a very nice chap, but I'm not that way inclined - and I don't think he is either. 21. Do you own any bootlegs? If so, how many and what are they? I have a few MP3's of songs which have never been released commercially and part-ownership of Return To Pepperland. I'm strictly amateur status when it comes to bootlegs, I'm afraid. |

Naturally! You've seen this thread from the beginning, through the formation of the idea, witnessing a couple of name changes, to the ejection of the post which just didn't fit in... and now we're firmly in the midst of Threadmania. We just need to conquer get a few of our US boardies to answer and then we'll have conquered America - and you were there all thoughout that crazy rollercoaster ride! |

Yes, but I prefer the old posts to the new posts. It was real back then, before things all got commercialised. Those people who came in after the fifth post can never know what it was really like. Things will never be the same again. |
