Paul McCartney to front Nirvana

[Andrew_Culture]

Truly these must be end days?

"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?'"

That's Nirvana. You're Kurt


I think his hearing is going.

How desperate is he for publicity?

Great.. an hour of Nirvana style jam session of Hey Jude.

How desperate is he for publicity?

Very very desperate.

[ianrauk]

Why doesn't he just go away and retire?

You ruined the Olympic opening ceremony....so you owe it to yourself to just go.

I'm absolutely horrified at the thought of this and it's not like Dave needs the money. Perhaps Kris has fallen on hard times and needs to pay the mortgage?

It's a charity gig btw!

I can't see it being good, but then I can't see Dave putting his name (and Nirvana's) to anything that isn't half decent.

 

[Minotier]

OMG. Why not just give Robbie Williams and George Michael a ring and reform The Beatles!
I thought Grohl had more about him.
Having said that I saw the Foos at Hyde Park a few years back and they had Roger Taylor and Brian May on stage with them doing Queen songs.
Maybe they will do a grunge version of the 'Frog Chorus'.

 

[AnythingButVanilla]

Pat Smear is a massive Queen fan though so I can understand that but not Thumbs Up Macca with his bad hair and whiff of desperation.

Yeah, Roger Taylor played drums at Milton Keynes last year whilst Taylor H sang Cold Day in the Sun...

They've played together a few times before.

Bit of a strange bill: The Rolling Stones, Jon Bon Jovi, Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and Kanye West.

They better hurry up or half of them will have died.
