Evil Gang STOLE ONLY Copy of Legend's New Music-Turned DISASTER into BEST #1 Hit | Professor Of Rock

Former Beatle Paul McCartney was trying to establish his band Wings when he flew to Nigeria to record Band on the Run. 2 key members quite right before and then when they arrived equipment in the studio was dismal and one day when Paul and Linda were walking the streets they were threatened at knifepoint by a gang of terrorists… Paul had to keep calm if he was going to save he and wife’s life. So along with his wallet, he handed over a bag containing two of his most prized possessions... a notebook of lyrics and a demo tape of songs for his new album. Neither of which he had copies of. These thieves, having no idea who was standing in front of them, stole one of the 70s greatest #1 hits. Band on the Run alone with 70s classics Jet and Helen Wheels. After surviving the ordeal this musical genius knew he either had to track down the stolen lyrics and tape or try to remember it and recreate it… Find out what happened next on professor of rock.

So, it’s time for another edition of our series The New Standards. This show takes an in-depth look into songs that transcend genre, decade, and fads - songs that are monumental touchstones in our culture and society. On previous episodes we have covered Sundown by Gordon Lightfoot, Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey, and Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin.
But today we are taking a deep dive into one of the coolest song stories ever..the Paul McCartney and Wings hit Band on the Run.

from London to Nigeria, Paul got a call from his drummer Denny Seiwell. The news wasn’t good. There would be one less member than expected taking the trip. Seiwell wasn’t coming. He was quitting the band. That was two bandmates gone in as many weeks. Shortly before, Wings had suffered its first split in the ranks when guitarist Henry McCullough angrily walked out on the band. Almost overnight, Wings had gone from being a sturdy fivesome to a shaky trio. The remaining three members were Paul, his wife Linda on keyboards, and Denny Laine on guitar and bass.

Wings was of course McCartney’s first post-Beatles music venture. The band was formed as a quartet during the summer of 1971, Paul, Linda and the two Denny’s. Wings’ debut Wild Life, was indifferently received by critics and was even regarded by McCartney himself as a disappointment. At the end of 1971, Wings would then add Henry McCullough. Early in 1973 Wings scored a double #1 in the US with their album Red Rose Speedway and the track ‘My Love.’ And later in the year they enjoyed more transatlantic chart success with the theme from the James Bond movie Live and Let Die.

But now the band was whittled down to three members. The discontent within Wings had been stewing for some time. For all McCartney’s protests to the contrary, for the most part the band democratic in name only. Paul clearly still reserved the right to veto any musical decisions he disagreed with. Said Laine, “Let’s be honest, he wanted to be in a band in a sense. But he would still have the final call.” But how could you argue with Paul McCartney?
