Re: McCartney to Front Nirvana Reunion TONIGHT- NEW SONG
It’s strongly rumored that at tonight’s 12-12-12 concert to benefit Hurricane Sandy victims tonight at NYC’s Madison Square Garden will feature another huge collaboration, this one between Paul McCartney and the surviving members of Nirvana, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, according to an article that ran on UK’s the Sun. Pat Smear, who played guitar for Nirvana during their last 6 months, will also be part of the reunion.
“I didn’t really know who they were,” McCartney said of Grohl and Novoselic. “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.”
Nirvana are rumored to perform a new song with McCartney, that they recently wrote while jamming.
Re: McCartney to Front Nirvana Reunion TONIGHT- NEW SONG
No Kurt no Nirvana. PERIOD!
I don't see it as a nirvana reunion myself. And I don't think they'd brand it as such either. But the press certainly is. I see it more of a one-off supergroup. Unless they decide to do more. It could be awesome.
And yes, Courtney Love has taken to the twitters in a rage.
Re: McCartney to Front Nirvana Reunion TONIGHT- NEW SONG
A new song? So who sings it, Dave?
Kurt wasn't Chris, or Layne, or Eddie, or even Andy... but... no way Dave can carry Kurt's vocals.
Call what's his face from the Melvins. He'd be good.
Regardless I will definitely be listening for it. It's been a great show so far.

It'll be interesting. My bet is a McCartney/Dave combo or just McCartney.
I hope they don't announce them as Nirvana though.

I was thinking Pennyroyal Tea.
At least we're on the 'correct' album. Smells Like Teen Spirit would just be hokey.
ANY of them would sound weird. Smells Like Teen Spirit should definitely be retired. MAYBE when they get inducted pull it out, but until then leave it alone.

As I recall Dave, Krist, and Pat only played Teen Spirit as a instrumental. Nobody sang. Dave let the mic stand alone in memory of Kurt. The only other Nirvana song they've played is Marigold which is a song Dave wrote.
As for the special Paul McCartney performance, It may happen. Looks like he is almost done with his set. Doing Blackbird right now.
I personally think it will be a new song that doesn't involve the Nirvana catalog.
About A Girl would be interesting to hear though.

Did you hear it? What was it called, "Mother"?
Kicked ten tons of ass. McCartney was a great choice for it. So fucking weird to see him fronting Nirvana, yet somehow pulling it off. I mean just an odd, yet somehow appropriate moment.
For years Kurt was called the "Paul McCartney" of his generation and Nirvana "The Beatles" of Gen X. Yet Paul gets the call to do this.
Craziness. Moment of the night. Absolutely pure throwback Nirvana energy with a Beatle. Unbelieveable.

What's up with Seattle lately? Resurrected? Reunited AIC, then Soundgarden, now Nirvana... only thing left is PJ doing a sequel to Ten.
