What the absolute fuck.

I mean I don't think Nirvana is sacred or anthing, but... you fuckig kidding me? This sounds like a Brass Eye joke.

"...with Sir Paul McCartney taking the place of the late Kurt Cobain."

This is a joke, right?

Seriously?

Having said that, considering Macca's ragged vocals at the Jubilee/Olympics, he might be planning a new career as a stripped-throat proto-grunge grandfather.

Stay tuned kids...

this is somehow, someway going to be a let down

like it'll just be hey jude with the rest of nirvana

or they'll cover other songs

best case scenario, they do nirvana songs but do slow meandering versions of the ones that don't mention whores and cancer and rape. not sure how many of those there are.

- I think it's just misreporting
  
  i.e. Paul M. is playing with those two guys from Nirvana for a charity benefit, that's it. It'll be nice and safe and boring and then we'll all go to bed.

- 40 years + all the money in the world later
  
  and Paul McCartney is still playing the ugliest, uncoolest guitars in the world. Strap on a Firebird, loosen the strap down to your knees and just for once in your life try and be cool you bellend - don't play what looks like the top of a little perfume box owned by Charles II.

Quite surreal to watch (and hear)

Sounds like a crap "Helter Skelter". They should have played that and/or some other Beatles stuff.

  Not too shabby a line-up:
  Dave Pirner, Greg Dulli, Thurston Moore, Don Fleming, Mike Mills & Dave Grohl (pre-Foo Fighters). Shame they never wrote any original material really.

    Don't know why all the bedwetters on here have such an issue, s'pose it just goes how much the "alternative" scene hates to see success,especially in this country- it was the same with James Arthur and Dappy.
