Paul McCartney as Mick Fleetwood
Forgive me if this has been posted before, but did you guys know that when Paul McCartney did his remarkable video for Coming Up, where he plays most of the band (through video trickery) as various famous musicians, that he plays the drummer as Mick Fleetwood. I haven't seen this video since I was a kid, before I really knew who Fleetwood Mac was, and while watching it today I jumped up right in the middle of it and screamed (Oh my God, that's MICK!!!).

It is funny, I do remember that clip, as the one of Phil Collins, Can¿t hurry love, when he appears in several roles too.
I didn't see that video as a parody of impersonators, but I was 14 at that time. Even now, I don't see Mick as the drummer, frankly. He should be wearing his typical costume. I don't find any other character, except for one of the guitar man who looks like Buddy Holly. |

The characters in the video were...
The Buddy Holly looking guitarist was actually Hank Marvin of the 50's English group "The Shadows". On keyboards was Ron Mael of "Sparks" and unfortunately the drummer is supposed to be Ginger Baker. I believe one of the sax players is supposed to be Frank Zappa. Very funny video indeed and still funny today. Thanks for sharing.

The sax player he's playing with the big mutton-chop sideburns, slicked back hair & sunglasses is supposedly Andy MacKay from Roxy Music. Isn't the male background singer character with Linda supposedly Ray Davies of the Kinks? And, ok, to state the obvious, the bassist is "Beatle Paul".

Makes sense given the use of his studio during Band On The Run.
I remember it was announced on Aus TV as being John Bonham which never seemed to fit. So who's the long-haired guitarist? Some have suggested Neil Young, but the character is a leftie. |

Hippie guy
I think Paul said the dude with long hair was just some hippie guy. I thought it could have been several guys and would have been better had he focused on a person like Neil Young but still it was a great video.

I saw that too!
I saw that wide eyed look too and it does look like a "Mick" expression. The beard is far too unkept to be Micks' however. He nailed the Hank Marvin and Ron Mael looks and I think many of the other looks were too vague. Except of course "Beatle" Paul. All in all Mick or no it was a great video.
