How a Quick Pitstop in the Restroom Lead To Steven Tyler Meeting Paul McCartney
If you are a man, you know what it’s like to have a conversation at a set of urinals. It’s awkward, weird, and most men seemingly try to avoid it, as the mutual understanding is that you don’t talk to another person when you’re using the restroom. However, that rule has to be broken every so often, and Steven Tyler broke it when he met Paul McCartney for the very first time.
Everybody knows Steven Tyler as a free-spirited musician who is no stranger to ambitious and intense rock and roll antics. As we all know, he is quite the animated character. That being said, it isn’t all that surprising to learn that Steven Tyler first met Paul McCartney during a stop in the restroom at a urinal. Frankly, it is arguably the perfect setting for this type of interaction. It’s memorable, comical, and just downright hilarious. Regardless, here is how Steven Tyler first met Paul McCartney at a urinal.
While at the Hammersmith Odeon theater in London, Steven Tyler needed to do what everybody needs to do: Use the restroom. However, what was seemingly intended to be a routine visit turned into a once-in-a-lifetime interaction. And Steve Tyler recollected the one-of-a-kind moment in an exclusive interview with Blabbermouth in 2007.
“My first meeting with Paul McCartney was certainly memorable,” Steven Tyler told the publication. “I was in a backstage urinal at the Hammersmith Odeon. McCartney walked in, started doing what people do in urinals. For the record, I did not check his size out.”
