'We knew we were different': Paul McCartney claims 'no modern day band will recreate the same success as The Beatles' in new interview about his bandmates
It has been over 50 years since Beatlemania took over the world, going on to produce hits like Eleanor Rigby, Love Me Do and Yellow Submarine. Speaking in a new interview with Esquire Magazine, Paul McCartney has revealed he doesn't think any modern day band will be able to recreate the same success as The Beatles. The 73-year-old singer claims the British rock band - made up of Paul, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison - found worldwide fame thanks to writing their own material and their own individual skillset.
'Let's not forget, those four boys were f***ing good,’ he confessed. ‘You name me another group who had what The Beatles had.
'We all played, which is pretty hard. You don't get a lot of that these days. ‘We came at the right time. We wrote some pretty good stuff, our own material. We didn't have writers. Could that happen again? I don't know. I wish people well but I have a feeling it couldn't.'
When quizzed about his ‘goodboy’ image, Paul said: ‘It’s something I’ve not cultivated. 'But I think when you become a family man, when you’ve got grandkids and you openly admire them, that gets cuddly. ‘With the knighthood, you have to consider whether you’re going to accept it or not.
