Paul McCartney

Red Rose Speedway
On the album cover for the McCartney album 'Red Rose Speedway' we're shown a picture of Paul lying down upon a motorcycle engine with a red rose in his mouth that looks like a gaping red hole. A cryptic symbolism of the crash site? The 'red speedway' name certainly hints at this. Not only that, but on the back all you can see is a solemn bunch of flowers laying down beside a microphone stand just like how a mourner would lay flowers down at a crash site.
 
London Town - The Poster
The original copies of this album contained a poster that had a number of photos that were taken whilst the LP was being recorded. At the top right of this poster there's an interesting photo of Paul that has the word 'SUBSTITUTE' scrawled across it. Could this be telling us that the McCartney shown here is a substitute?
 
McCartney II
Quite an interestingly titled album, especially from within the context of the conspiracy. As you can see on the front cover, Paul is shown to be producing two shadows. Could this mean that there are two McCartneys? This notion is backed up by the back cover which does indeed show us two McCartneys! Like the scene in the Yellow Submarine film, again we're being shown McCartney with a double. But why?
 
Paul is Live
This LP of live material is shows us that McCartney wanted to pull the legs of PiD enthusiasts. The title 'Paul is Live' is pretty blatant, along with the Beetle registration plate that has been changed to that it read '58IS' since McCartney was 58 when the album was released. He has a good sense of humour for a dead man...
 
The Bowl of Cherries
This is the front cover to Paul's first solo LP released in 1970. In the UK there's a saying, "Life is like a bowl of cherries", yet the bowl of cherries shown on the front cover is empty. Why is the cherry bowl of McCartney empty?
 
The McCartney Interview
In 1980 Columbia released a limited edition single called "The McCartney Interview". It contains an interview Paul gave to Vic Garbarini for 'Musician' magazine. At the very end of side two in the runout groove however, there is a slight mumbling. When this mumbling is reversed you hear Paul clearly saying "And I'm still the walrus", again adding more confusion as to who really was the walrus.
 
The Lyrical Confession?
In the song "Beware My Love" on the Wings Over America LP, there's the line "I have to leave, when I'm gone, I'll leave a message in my song". Could this be Paul telling us that clues have been left in song lyrics?
 
All The Best - The Cigarette
In the photo-montage that can be found within the gatefold of the LP 'All The Best' there is a solemn photo of Paul smoking a cigarette. Back in the 60's cigarettes were commonly referred to as 'coffin nails', so is this showing us another nail in McCartney's coffin?
 
The Accidental Introduction
In the film 'Give My Regards to Broad Street' there is a scene where Paul enters the BBC building. When he enters he is greeted by an elderly man, who then introduces Paul to another individual by saying "Do you know William?" Was this a slip-up or intentionally said? Could it have been coincidence or Paul making a playful jibe at the 'Paul is Dead' legend? Click on the image to see the clip.
 
Driving Rain - The UK Cover
Driving Rain was released in the UK with a front cover that was taken by Paul on a watch camera - apparently in a public toilet. What's interesting is that on the wall behind him are four circles, one of which has been covered up by Paul's hand. Now, the four group members of the Beatles have always been John, Paul, George and Ringo, so if this was placed in context to the photo, Paul's hand is covering up Paul. Is this telling us that something about Paul has been covered up?
 
Driving Rain - The UK Cover #2
Is it me, or does Paul's arm looks totally disproportional to Paul's head? Is it possible that this cover could be referencing Paul trapped in the car behind the windshield? Why is only Paul's head being shown - is it symbolising Paul's decapitation? It might explain why his eyes are closed and seemingly crying blood, and why he looks to have a mere bloody stump instead of a neck and shoulders...
 
Driving Rain - The American Cover
In America the cover to the album 'Driving Rain' was different, showing a coloured photo of Paul with his bass guitar. It has been suggested that this album cover is symbolic of a car crash with Paul, face showing fear and anxiety, being hurled from it. What's more interesting however is that Paul is not only dressed completely in black but also he is shown barefoot. It seems that the old clues just keep on coming, almost like they're being intentionally highlighted again and again for some reason.
 
Ever Present Past
Just recently Paul released the song 'Ever Present Past' from his new album 'Memory Almost Full'. The music video that was recorded to promote this song is interesting in the fact that it features two Paul's. Not only that, but at the end of the song one of these Pauls fades away into nothing. Why would there be two Pauls and why would one fade away like that? It is telling us that there were two but one has long faded into obscurity?
