Sir Paul McCartney to replace Kurt Cobain in Nirvana reunion

Quote:

McCartney will be supported by drummer Dave Grohl, bassist Krist Novoselic and unofficial fourth member Pat Smear for the 12.12.12 concert for victims of Hurricane Sandy.

It will be the first time the surviving members of the grunge band have played together in 20 years.

[McCartney] told The Sun: “I didn’t really know who they were. They are saying how good it is to be back together. I said ‘Whoa? You guys haven’t played together for all that time?

“And somebody whispered to me ‘That’s Nirvana. You’re Kurt.’ I couldn’t believe it.”

The outfit will not see Paul McCartney try his hand at classics Smells Like Teen Spirit or Lithium, however.
Instead, the four will play a new song at the New York charity concert.

I mean this whole thing is fucking stupid anyway but I don't know if this makes it more or less stupid.

do we have a picture of paul?

The roger waters performance was bad ass. Vedder killed comfortably numb. Didn't see the stones, were they any good? Who are just so so

Raskolnikov · 12-13-2012, 12:51 AM

So what's this song - "Cut Me Some Slack" - resident Nirvana experts?

Raskolnikov · 12-13-2012, 12:52 AM

Live HD stream on YouTube has been running amazingly smoothly tonight, too in case you're interested. Billy Joel doing his thing right now.

I thought Waters' voice sounded great at the beginning and then inexplicably evaporated halfway through. The Who's performance was really good except that Daltrey can't sing too well anymore. Pete played like a motherfucker though. Stones sucked.

redbreegull · 12-13-2012, 01:17 AM

Billy Joel is like the worst fucking songwriter

TuralyonW3 · 12-13-2012, 01:31 AM

New York state of mind is a pretty good song actually

TuralyonW3 · 12-13-2012, 01:39 AM

Helper smelter is fuckin rockin

TuralyonW3 · 12-13-2012, 01:40 AM

TuralyonW3 · 12-13-2012, 02:00 AM

McCartney-vana is surreal for sure

redbreegull · 12-13-2012, 02:06 AM

redbreegull · 12-13-2012, 02:06 AM

Paul McCartney is still the fucking man

I'm pretty sure he lip synched most of in the flesh (the opening song), as well as parts of other songs.

this isn't true.

You can say you don't like his music. But the guy knows how to write a song.

MyOneAndOnly · 12-13-2012, 12:37 PM

Grohl should play drums and forget about being the front man

How many Billy Joel songs have you heard man?

I grew up with this album, and I can vouch for everything on it.

Toast · 12-13-2012, 07:50 PM

Kurt was going to show up but he couldn't get his head together.

vixnix · 12-13-2012, 08:02 PM

Billy Joel's songs are a product of their time and good I think. He was an excellent pianist though.

TuralyonW3 · 12-13-2012, 08:08 PM

He's an excellent drinker and troublemaker
