People grow, they change. They lose weight, they gain weight. Millions of variables that are introduced in our day to day life can account for physical change. I've listened to almost every single Beatles song at least a hundred times a piece, if not more. And the voice singing "Love Me Do" or "Twist & Shout" in the early 60's is the same voice that was singing "Hey Jude" in the 70's and the same voice that tours today.
If this conspiracy is true, I just paid to go see Billy Shepherd in concert on July 11th. And that doesn't excite me nearly as much as the thought of seeing Paul McCartney.

I think the most damning evidence, the one that really sheds the light on it is that the Real Paul played a Hofner bass. Faul used (and uses) a Rickenbacker.

Many of the pics are from August 1966 compared to December of 1966 where the differences of aging cannot show up that quickly. And it can't be weight gain or weight loss because his body looks generally the same in terms of leanness. There are too many differences in the bone structure of the face to discount. Why not take an open mind on this?

Btw, John sang on "Twist and Shout" not Paul.

Oh I have an open-mind. And I'm not new to this theory. I just don't believe it. If someone can present something beyond what's been said here or previously uncovered, I'm fully prepared to reconsider my position and argue for a refund on my ticket. But as it stands, with what's been presented thus far, I've come to the conclusion that the theory is baseless.
Indeed, but Paul's voice was still in the song. Well, it's overshadowed by the screams of teenage girls.. but if you listen close enough you can hear it.
Of those who believe this theory to be valid, do you believe that John and the rest of the Beatles were informed?
If so, why would they perpetuate the lie and shame their dear friend in such a way of showing no respect to his passing.

They had no choice. They had to play the game.
Many people on this site accept that there is a system of control that controls every area of life. From Science, Religion, Military to Politics. So why wouldn't that cover the Entertainment Industry? In fact, the Entertainment Industry is one of the greatest tools for mind control. That's what all this is about. No need for everyone to be offended. We are not trying to insult the Beatles or their fans. We just want to get the truth out.

Check out the Beatles Anthology. George, Ringo & Paul are all interviewed on it. George and Ringo typically recant similar stories about who did what and who was to blame for what. Paul usually had a separate story. Certainly a bit of friction between them all and some skewering of the facts on what seems to be Paul's side. And I agree that one of them would have chimed up if there was something to say.
Between Paul & John though, while there was a short split between the two, they did make amends and repair their friendship prior to John's passing. Not all historians or biographers say so, but from every person who was close to the two men seem to share a similar story that amends were made. So the split between them all is blown out of proportion at times, but one did certainly exist at one time or another.

Of course they were. The differences in person would be obvious. IMO, the only people who wouldn't be able to tell were perhaps those that met him briefly before '67 and then met him again many years later.

I do not dispute this system of control. But I believe with all my heart that John Lennon is the last person who ever walked this earth that would ever buy into what you speak of with concerns to Paul.
