Default Nirvana to reunite tonight with Paul McCartney as the lead singer

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012...vana?fb=optOut

Kinda cool

Paul McCartney will fill the role of Kurt Cobain when he plays with the surviving members of Nirvana at the 12.12.12 concert for victims of Superstorm Sandy on Wednesday night.

The former Beatle will join Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl and bassist Krist Novoselic on stage in New York to play a new song after secretly working with the pair. Grohl and Novoselic have not performed with each other for 20 years.

A spokesman confirmed that Grohl recently asked McCartney to come along to "jam with some mates".

The former Beatle suggested they "just make something up" and found himself playing with Grohl on drums, bassist Novoselic and guitarist Pat Smear, who toured with Nirvana for the last six months of the band's career.

Kurt Cobain took his own life in April 1994.

McCartney said: "I didn't really know who they were. 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."

I've got nothing personal against McCartney (and I actually like some of his material inside and outside of The Beatles), but I just can't imagine him as an appropriate substitute for Kurt Cobain.

Its just Grohl and Novoselic playing with Paul. It sounds like they will play no Nirvana songs.

Damn I thought the reunion performance was great!
It sounds exactly like you'd imagine a hard rock Paul McCartney mashed with Nirvana would sound. Dat Novoselic bass.I'd be down to hear more.



I hope this spurs a Paul McCartney late-life crisis where he turns Scott Walker or Wayne Coyne on everyone. That would be amazing.
