According to McCartney, Jones claims he never said any of it.
(Jones has alsopreviously publicly apologized for his unfiltered quotes.)
So I get a phone call: Is this Mr. McCartney?
Quincy would like to speak with you.
Because hes always worked through security guys.
I said, Hey, Quince!
Paul, how you doing, man?
Im doing greathow are you, you motherfucker!
Im just jiving with him.
Paul, I didnt really say that thingI dont know what happened, man.
I never said that.
You know I love you guys!
I said, If you had said that, you know what I would have said?
Fuck you, Quincy Jones!
So actually we just had a laugh.
And he was like, Oh, Paul, you know I love you so much.
Yeah, I know you do, Quince.
Hes a crazy motherfucker.
But I respect him, hes done a lot of very good things.
Hes an old guy.
I dont know what it was, he says.
But I dont think Im the worst bass player hes ever heard.
Or maybe hes never heard bad bass players.
