Tug Of Peace | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

‘Tug Of Peace’ is the penultimate track on Paul McCartney’s fourth solo album Pipes Of Peace. See more…

The great thing about working with Paul is that you can try anything, he’s great for experimenting. For example, on ‘Tug Of Peace’ I had the idea of having a kind of Zulu sound, and I wanted to get the noise of thumping assegais on the ground. So we got a whole stack of garden canes, and Paul and I ended up with about 15 each, holding them, and chomping them down, which is that tremendous sound you hear on the off-beat. Just a noise that I had in my mind, which he thought would be fun to do.
