I read last night that Paul McCartney was fronting Nirvana at a benefit concert which included several other heavy weights of rock.

Being a big Beatle and Nirvana fan, I should be thinking that 1/4 of one of my favourite bands coupled with 2/3 of another of my favourite bands should be amazing but I just think it's all a bit weird. I've just had a look to see if there is any footage of the gig and the best I could find is this: https://apps.facebook.com/theguardian/music/video/2012/dec/13/paul-mccartney-nirvana-sandy-video

It looks to me that McCartney and Nirvana have written a song together....... All very odd. Well, it is to me anyway.

I know there are some of you that post on here that have got an interest in music. What do you think? I can't quite get my head round it!


You fill up my senses,
Like a barrel of Tetley's,
Like a packet of Woodbine,
Like a good pinch of snuff,
Like a night out in Cleethorpes,
Like a greasy chip butty,
O, Super Black and Whites,
Come fill me again
Na na naa naa naa naaaa TOWN!!
Na na naa naa na na naaaa
Na na naa naa na naaa naaa
Na na naa naa naa naaaaaaa!!!!!

If Sir Paul has written the song it'll be shite ,same as everything else he's done since the early 70s
I always find him a bit of a twit to be honest

i agree,that gormless scouse suprised expression he pulls when singing never fails  to pi.ss me off.
hes a twit of the highest order, the one true mystery to me is how did a gimp like him write a great tune like "mull of kyntire"?

This is as ludicrous as Cliff Richard fronting the Rolling Stones. Can't stand McCartney's voice, songs, look, personality, arrogance. Kurt, on the other hand was so cool.

What I've heard sounded awful.  Lennon and Cobain will be turning in their respective graves.

So, the general consensus is that you all think it'll be excrement! Me too. I've not seen it yet but I think It'll be like watching a train crash in slow motion.

I've still got time for McCartney although I think he should pack it in now, he's making himself look a bit silly. Same goes for The Stones. I've a great deal of respect for them and what they have done for British music but seeing them now makes me cringe.

Kurt Cobain was indeed cool but so was McCartney when he was in his 20's.
