BREAKING: THE MAYANS WERE RIGHT AFTER ALL

[Suu]

I guess part of the whole thing is that all the buzz called it  nirvana reunion when it was not. Its like calling audioslave ratm because most of the members were in ratm (which the original buzz for that also said it was).

I just saw Paul jamming with the former members of Nirvana. I didn't see "Nirvana."

I've always thought Paul was a twit, both in and out of the Beatles.

George was the man. I cried all fangirl-like when he died.

Honestly i never really saw what the big deal about the beatles was in the first place. The only difference between them and a boy band is that they played instruments and wrote their own songs some of which were good but nothing that i could get really excited over.

No, you have to listen to a medley of "Silly Love Songs" and "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" until January 3.

There's worse stuff than Wings.

Case in point:

Simply having has been stuck in my head since yesterday. Thats what i associate paul with. Probably why i hate him so much.

I wish I could get back that half hour (or however stupidly long it was) that Kanye was on. It was an amazing coincidence that as soon as he showed up I started feeling ill...

I couldn't believe how long that went on. I swear his was the longest set (at least from what I saw) - or it just seemed like it would never end. My brain lost the will to live towards the end and I fell asleep. Woke up during the song that MMIX posted, and the songs I saw from their set were ok. I really hate the Foo Fighters though, and that's all I can think of when I see Dave Grohl.

I was happy to catch Roger Waters's set though...

I can't help it. It's an ingrained reaction. Nothing even to do with Nirvana. Whatever year that song came out, I would hear "I've got another confession to make..." and have to change the station before I put my fist through the radio...except that it was on EVERY station. I'm willing to give that there are some songs out there I may be able to tolerate, but whatever that song was combined with the incessant playing of "My Hero" has devloped an extreme distaste for them

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Appreciated suu but im on the bus with my dumbphone. No fixing til at least 8pm.

Also ive come to dislike the foo fighters for the same reason.

Am I the only one that actually enjoyed Paul playing with the Nirvana boys? Cause like...I know the latest cool thing to hate is the Beatles, but it's kind of fucking silly to assume that it wouldn't work. It's not like the Beatles didn't play "proto-grunge" or anything. Ever. It also seems absurd to assume that Nirvana wasn't influenced by the Beatles in any way shape or form just like 99.9% of every subsequent rock band between the UK and US. Shit, they were being covered by their contemporaries.

I don't see him doing a disservice to Cobain in the least, in fact, if anyone would have the honor, if you call it, to front Nirvana in his place, it may as well be McCartney. Or Neil Young...but he did the Pearl Jam thing years ago.


...Shut up, ECH.

For the record, I like the Beatles, Nirvana and Foo Fighters. As horrid & hipster as this sounds, with regards to the Fab Four, I "prefer their early stuff"...lol....For me, they started to go off the boil from 1967 onwards. Of course, that doesn't mean that everything they did sucked after that, but the ratio of misses to hits (and I don't necessarily mean chart wise) started to shift in favor of the former.

While Paul does get maligned for his multifarious musical turkeys, there isn't a single member of the Beatles who didn't, at one time or another (in the band or solo) produce some godawful crap. So, no innocent parties there.

As for the performance itself, it was a bunch of guys having a jam which, more often than not, is more satisfying for the participants than it is for an audience. It was a bit of a song, not that well formed, thrashed around by some famous dudes who were clearly enjoying themselves. Given that Dave Grohl teamed up with J P Jones of Zeppelin for Them Crooked Vultures, I'm open to the possibility that perhaps Dave, Krist and Sir Paul could, potentially knock out some half decent tunes with enough rehearsal/studio time.

I didn't think this really reflected positively or negatively on any of their collective musical legacies. Some guys bashing out a riff for charity. Of course, the media could never just say that, they have to go for: 'Beatle fronts Nirvana!' OMGROFLBBQ!!111

I finally got to hear the song and it wasn't that bad.
I don't know why my husband said it sounded more like a Nirvana song, didn't seem that way to me.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I want to hear Chubby Checker sing with Danzig.  Or Lil Jon with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Since we're letting people do mash-ups.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Actually seeing chubby checker with danzig would be pretty funny

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

People are saying on facebook that it wasn't too bad.

Fucking pinkboys.

Well, if they really DID think it wasn't too bad, then they aren't pinkboys.  If someone said they hated it because it seems too sell-out, when in fact they liked it, THEN they would be pinkboys.

But how likely is THAT?

[Nephew Twiddleton]

I didnt hate it. Wouldnt follow it either though.

I liked the drumming.

Not so much that frontman who is obviously spending a bazillion dollars that could support a small country of starving children in a desperate attempt not to look 70, but plays a square guitar so old peeps can go "YEAH! BO DIDDLEY!"

I think if they got rid of that guy, they could go somewhere.
