I’m curious to learn what makes you think it isn’t Paul in that photo. Is it because he’s playing the drums? Is it because he pulls a funny face? Something else? Because when I Google for photos of Paul playing the drums, it becomes obvious he rather enjoyed mucking about and having fun when he was at the kit.

Because it doesn’t look like him at all.

There are other photos of that day. One of them was in the collection I posted. But, let me try again. In which ways does the man behind the drums not look like Paul at all?

What I see in those pictures, is a – possibly drugged-up – Paul McCartney , sporting one of the ugliest moustaches known to mankind and wearing something I would prefer to burn in a ritual bonfire, letting loose and having fun in a period that brought him a lot of stress and heartache. What you did – and what Tina Foster (aka Her Majesty ) did, was choose the least flattering shot of the bunch, and use it to push the PID agenda. But are there no unflattering photos of young Paul? Of course there are, they’re just never shown on 60if or plasticmacca, because then people would see that Paul’s as human as the rest of us. He’ll ‘goof off’ as you Americans say, and just like any of us, he doesn’t get more handsome when he pulls ridiculous faces. Does that mean he’s dead? Of course not! 

But please, enlighten me about his long face (which of course couldn’t possibly be just a visual effect due to weightloss and a different haircut), his ‘beak of a nose’ (which is where, exactly?), or any of the other supposed obvious differences.

I’ll not apologise for coming across snarky, because after what you said to Ahhh Girl, and after the way you responded to my attempt to help you with that article, I don’t feel very generous anymore. a-hard-days-night-paul-11

No the editor of Beat chose the most unflattering photo of the whole photoshoot.

I just found the magazine in an image search. I don’t know who Tina Foster is.

I’m sorry, @Starr Shine?. You are absolutely right and I will heed your advice.

I think it’s safe to say the following discrepancies have been convincingly debunked:

    • change in eye colour 
      • change in eye shape and eyelashes
        • height difference

        Additionally, a number of facial comparisons have shown Paul basically looked the same throughout his life. Even pictures with a 40 or 60-year gap between them, show the same person. It is only when pictures of completely different expressions and angles are put side by side, that Paul looks different. Then again, I have also shown, by using myself as an example, how using photos from different eras with different angles and facial expressions can make a comparison inconclusive.

        So, I wonder which differences we are left with that can possibly support the idea that Paul is not who he says he is. I’ll gladly debunk those as well, and I promise to remain civil.

        Head size and shape, ear cartilage, ear lobes were all covered in the Italian forensic report. Are you questioning their methods? Sunking or whoever it is didn’t perform the study. I don’t think you can say you’ve debunked anything.

        They’re all wearing exactly the same outfit in the Your Mother Should Know photo. Paul’s shoes are the same as the others’. You conveniently ignored the 1969 photo, and dismissing the Mad Day Out photo is just silly. A 10-second Google search will give you countless photos from that day. Paul was wearing regular dress shoes that day, which did not increase his height compared to the others. 

         

        George didn’t allude to anything of the sort! He only said something along the lines of it being a pity Paul couldn’t be there. Not because Paul was dead, but because the Beatles were in a legal battle at the time.

        He said about the Beatles “God knows there are so few of us left” and “we loved Paul so much”.

        JPM had prolific periods of creativity. Perhaps there was a lot of material to work with, if he really did die/disappear. (I don’t want Paul to be dead btw, as another poster suggested). All the others (including  George Martin) were more than talented enough to cover hin in the studio. They made 3? public appearances after 1966 (correct me if I’m wrong). One in which Paul is miming bass playing (Revolution on Ed Sullivan show).

        That’s one very charitable John and George, I don’t see it happening. Can you see either of them writing Obladi Oblada or Martha My Dear or Silver Hammer? Seriously? That’s unless you suggest Ringo wrote them. 

        Playing the devil’s advocate, George said “this is what is left of us” in the Rock n Roll speech @Mademoiselle Kitty >^..^< xP 

        Really Sceptic, are you suggesting that Jane Asher’s dad or Mal or Brian died under mysterious circumstances because they couldn’t withold the information about Paul’s alleged death? That’s ridiculous. The reason for their deaths has been well documented. Who on earth would be willing to do that for the Beatles? They ain’t no government! I wonder why you didn’t suggest that Chapman and Abram were hired for the exact same reason as well.

        I think this whole thing would make more sense if Paul was replaced because he got burned out by the fame rather than dying. At least that would give the others a better reason to keep this quiet.

         Not sure why some pictures stay small, but this should be a rather large picture…

        Edit: forum still keeps it small. Larger one is here: http://d817ypd61vbww.cloudfron…..k=sKKfpe09

         

        P.S. That badge, in case it comes up, does not say OPD. It says OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) and I know, because I have one of those:

        Image Enlarger

        I bought it from someone in Canada who used to work at the OPP, just like Paul got it directly from them.

        Mal was a giant. No one is taller than Mal.

        Most people know it was OPP, just the fold in the clothing made it look like OPD. Most of those clues are ludicrous anyway.

        I forgot to mention Rory Storm and his mother in Liverpool – double suicide for no apparent reason.

        Since you chose to ignore “evidence” in every other case, I wonder why you’d make an exception for them. Still, I’m glad you do.

        Whats the PM game? Try to figure out if someone didn’t send you a PM or if they did but the PM’s are on strike again?

        Here it is.

        Anyway, no of this evidence will prove that Paul died since replaced is not the same as dying.

        Oooo, just had this thought. We don’t want PIDdling to spill out into any other thread in the forum, but Paulverting is allowed almost everywhere. Yeah, even in this thread. Macca beauty overload.
