[edit] Hank Marvin vs. Buddy Holly

While Paul McCartney was at the time of the "Coming Up" vid and remains a huge Buddy Holly fan, my understanding was the bespectacled guitarist he is miming in "Coming Up" was not Holly but Hank Marvin of The Shadows. I've heard McCartney made mention of this, and would also note that the swiveling business he does is in line with Shadows' performances I've seen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.49.228 (talk) 03:36, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm the one that added the list from the Billboard book including Buddy Holly, but I'd always believed that the guitarist was intended to be Hank Marvin, just as you did. However, just stating that would be an opinion, so I didn't make any reference to Marvin in the article, and I hadn't been able to find a definitive source refuring the Billboard claims. Today, though, I found the McCartney quote naming Hank Marvin in the SNL interview and have referenced that to refute the Holly claim. - AyaK (talk) 00:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't this article contain a complete list of the characters in the video? Notable and wikial, I'd say! I'm filling in the ones I know. Juryen 01:22, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, AyaK, for your definitive backup. I have another source, Sir Paul himself, on the commentary track to the music video from his recent DVD collection. Marvin, according to Sir Paul, is one of only three figures who is the sole basis for a character in the video, alongside the keyboard player from Sparks and the bassist from the Beatles. Others may be amalgams (like the drummer as both Mick Fleetwood and Ginger Baker).

And thank you again. I added this to the article; hope I credited it properly. -- AyaK (talk) 00:51, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
