On the upside, most Nirvana fans should know who he is. Unlike the little fuckers who had no clue last year when he played the Grammies.
I liked his Beatle stuff. Most everything he touches since then turns to shit, though. He's got the Midas touch, only with poomp.
Maybe Taylor Swift will make a surprise appearance to "sing" the Linda parts. :x
If you thought Macca fronting Nirvana was a bad idea, let me introduce you to this:
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/balloon-boy-falcon-heene-metal-band-145332294.html
'Ballon Boy' Falcon Heene has his own band with his brothers only, they make Hanson look like the Mozart triplets.
So, if the thought of Paul The Walrus singing Smells Like Teen Spirit isn't disturbing enough, then you might want to consider this little gem:

Horrible, but an Everyday Occurrence
(TM).
This is...
different. Y'know, I'd rather see a faceless, reanimated Kurt Cobain zombie fronting Nirvana. Or just put what's left on strings like a marionette and put his old vocals through the PA.
That might be kind of cool, actually. :horrormirth:
Wait... I... Ok im going to hve to see these links when i get home. I understand though that kurt was a huge beatles fan and probably would be honored.
I however am a beatles antifan and find the prospect unpleasant. Especially where nirvana was what made me want to be a musician to begin with.

This post has given me the nagging sensation that things really aren't all right. There's something off about this reality. It's . . . that has to be a spoof post, right? Some kind of joke? If it's genuine . . . I kinda have that feeling you get when you've just locked yourself out of your house but haven't realized it yet and you're wondering what you forgot . . . and it's raining acid and there are rabid wolves waiting to eat your soft meat parts . . . but you're still wondering what it is you forgot.
My mind just won't understand this. I just can't see Paul singing anything that Nirvana did. And even if they do some entirely new song...just doesn't work.
But it seems everyone is reporting it from the same source, The Sun. So it is possible that it isn't true...
am i the only one who immediately thought this is fantastic?
:?
Yes but youre texan.
Plus you probably actually like the beatles.
right you are, on both accounts.
but it's not that i think the musical outcome will be worth squat. its just that these are two bands that two groups of people that i would think have only a small overlap idolize.
what a wonderful mindfuck for such a large audience!

Rolling Stone pretty much killed that theory, Sita.
"Update: Krist Novoselic has confirmed on his Twitter that the group will perform a new song, which he described as "kind of 'Helter Skelter' meets 'Scentless Apprentice'" that "rocks with a heavy groove.""

Ah. We must read between the lines. Paul will be with "Dave Grohl and Friends" which includes Pat Smear and Krist Nobodycanpronouncehisname. So, expect no more than one (1) Nirvana song, and it will most likely be their cover of "Man Who Sold the World." If more Nirvana songs are played, they will most likely also be from the "unplugged" versions.
But I could be wrong. I would like to hear McCartney scream "rape me" a whole bunch of times.

I was up until midnight watching this stupid thing and still didn't see Paul.
Hubby was able to stay up till the end, though, and said that the song was ok but definitely sounded more like something Nirvana would do.
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...
Thanks MMIX.
Song was ok, but Nirvana it was not. Also, I noticed that there was a Twitter feed above the stage, which I find even more distressing.

No probs. I won't be breaking down any doors to get it on vinyl or whatever the modern equivalent is but it was definitely ok music. I am also delighted to state for the record that I have no idea what a twitter feed above the stage is. That is a technology too far in my book.

Hopefully the DVR recorded it alright and I'll be able to catch the end later today.

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...

Shenanigans!
1. It's not true about Dave & Krist not playing together in ages since the demise of Nirvana. Krist played on the last Foo Fighters album and is kind of uhh....seen to be playing with Dave in the documentary film they made about that record.
2.Given that Pat Smear was part of both bands, it could be argued equally that Paul McCartney jammed with some members of the Foo Fighters and the old Nirvana bassist just happened to be there. Plus, Paul and Dave have played together before, so there was not a single thing about this event that was new, edgy or historic.
3.The song was entirely non-descript but who cares because as long as a shit load of people donated money and helped out hurricane victims, then all is well. It's a shame the promoters felt that they needed to somehow 'entice' us with some multi-valent nostalgia A BEATLE AND GRUNGE...TOGETHER!!!! :eek:
4. And when you consider Courtney Love, this jam wasn't the worst thing to happen to Kurt since he blew his brains out.
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.

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'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.

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

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

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!"
