Biography
1. Wings (also known as Paul McCartney & Wings) from UK. Late in 1971, drummer Denny Seiwell, and ex-Moody Blues guitarist and singer Denny Laine, joined Paul McCartney and wife Linda McCartney to record Paul McCartney’s third post-The Beatles project. The result was Wild Life, the first project to credit Wings.
In 1972, Paul McCartney returned to touring, mounting an impromptu tour of UK universities and later a tour of small European venues (with the group driving around in a van), playing no The Beatles numbers. He scored hits with the relatively light singles “Give Ireland Back to the Irish” (banned by the BBC for its political stance, and only mentioned in chart rundowns on Radio 1 as ‘a record by Wings’), “Mary Had a Little Lamb”, and “
Hi Hi Hi” (again, banned by the BBC for alleged drug and sexual references).In early 1973, Paul McCartney repeated this pattern, adding ex-Spooky Tooth guitarist Henry McCullough, and re-christening the band Paul McCartney and Wings for the album Red Rose Speedway.
Following the release of Speedway, Denny Seiwell and Henry McCullough left the band, leaving the McCartneys and Denny Laine to cut their next album at EMI’s recording studio in Lagos, Nigeria, recording what turned out to be their breakthrough album, Band on the Run.

Evidently not "Finish doom/death only". If that were true you wouldn't have to insist as such.

Why not? Because Paul McCartney's solo albums are different from Wings' albums, and should be credited as such. Only Ram is borderline, but ultimately it was created before Wings the Band formed.

Why don´t just unite Paul McCartney, Wings and Paul McCartney and the Wings in one sole band? I know there are a lot of differences, and discussions, but it just don´t seem right to see his music split. Deep Purple, Iron Maiden and so many other bands had plenty of periods and changes but the name is just one. I think that is a historical debate, not a tag debate. When we look at the number of songs played, it seems Paul McCartney is little listened! And Why? Because of so many categorization and divisions.

Hearing the quality of the "Eat at Home/Smile Away (Live in Groningen, 1972)" bonus track from the 'RAM' reissue ( http://youtu.be/pJxlr7MhZlY ) makes me really, really crave some HQ shows from that incredible era for Wings. Get on it man, I know ya got the tapes!

Wings (Fin) for me..the sun (1994) and diatribe (full length) are both fucking excellent finnish death metal (except maybe the last 2 tracks on the full length which are somewhat misfitting)..
