Cleo Catra 178382 Report post Posted December 12, 2012 Not that I'm the biggest Nirvana fan (I'm actually way more into the Beatles), but this is wrong. Just wrong. Hoping it's a hoax. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/dec/12/paul-mccartney-kurt-cobain-nirvana 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IamaGeek 3664 Report post Posted December 12, 2012 Well, The Guardian is a reputable British broadsheet but this is wrong on many levels. The Beatles may have re-invented pop music in the 60s and 70s but the total was always much greater than the sum of the individual parts. I didn't have much time for any of their solo careers (well, maybe John) but in particular I haven't paid any attention to Paul since he became a clone of Angela Lansbury (seriously, has anyone ever seen them together in the same room?). To substitute a cheeky Scouser for a tormented grunge artist does NOT work. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canuckhooker 19203 Report post Posted December 12, 2012 It scared the crap out of me until I read the article. Doesn't seem too bad, once you read it. But I love that whisper in his ear "That's Nirvna, you're Kurt" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicolette Vaughn 294340 Report post Posted December 13, 2012 I think with this article, you have to read between the lines. It stated that they asked McCartney to "come jam with them" and as for filling in for Kurt Cobain, well that's just the sensationalized part so they could use a catchy headline to sell newspapers as people would all say "WTF?". Imo, they used Cobain's name in a sick twisted way and unfortunately it's all about the money at the end of the day. I really could not imagine Sir Paul singing "Smells like Teen Spirit". Now that would be effed up!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Serena Blake 14066 Report post Posted December 13, 2012 every time I see or hear of this I almost have to hold back a little gag. Paul McCartney and Nirvana is just a crossover that sounds horrible in my head. the Cheery tunes of Yellow Submarines and the gungy lithium endused music. It just doesn't seem right. How ever, if they are writing new music and jamming, chances are they've developed a new sound. it could be interesting. I hope anyway as I'm sure Kurt would be rolling in his grave if they wen on a cover tour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canuckhooker 19203 Report post Posted December 16, 2012 Actually it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be..and they reprised it on SNL at the end of the show. Actually pretty decent. Who'd a thunk it? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
