Paul McCartney has admitted that he felt like punching a record producer who branded one of his latest songs "crap".
The former Beatle worked on his new album Chaos and Creation in the Backyard with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, not realising that he would have prepare himself for some harsh criticism.
"I was well p**sed - 'You don't like my songs? How dare you? Who are you?'" Breakingnews.ie quotes Paul as saying.
"There was one key moment when it all rose to the surface. I was in the studio, raring to go. I was in a good mood. I was just about to listen to the track [just recorded] and find my way through a bass part when Nigel said: 'You know that song you played the other day? I really didn't like it. I think it was crap.'
"I said, 'Oh yeah?' and I thought: 'What will I do now? Punch him or just spit at him?"
McCartney did neither, but stormed out of the record studio, returning the next day to discuss his hurt feelings over Godrich's comments.
He added, "I realised he was looking for a vibe, so if one of my songs was a bit perky, maybe he didn't think we should do it this time around.
"It was good for me. It was like working with a great band member. It was similar to me and John [Lennon], back to when we were just kids."
