Now personally I fell asleep at around 8pm last night so I missed it all. But my husband is a huge nirvana fan and says paul mccartney and 'nirvana' got together and played one song he had never heard of before, which wasn't a nirvana song. Or if it was, it was written by the remaining two people in nirvana. According to the news it's a new song.

Wtf. Most overhyped "reunion" ever?

[TakeAStepBack]

Nirvana with Paul M. singing Smells like teen Spirit.

[Spidergawd]

I only heard a few minutes of that collaboration on the way to work this morning. Uhhhh.... not good. Not good at all.

um, they didnt hype it at all, in fact, it was a total suprise because they kept saying "coming up next....Dave Grohl, Paul McCartney. We didnt know it was "Nirvana" until Paul announced it.

Likewise, Micheal Stipe doing Losing My Religion with the Coldplay guy was a really nice suprise.

[CTMuleman]

Apparently Paul didn't know they were Nirvana until someone told him during their initial jam session. Yeah Paul, you're playing the part of Kurt


Stipe was a complete surprise to everyone including the organizers.

[hoagie]

Stipe looked really nervous.

That was a huge treat!

[Quinn The Eskimo]

It is a song they wrote together during a jam session. They have apparently been jamming together for a few months.

They need to stop jamming, and practice.

[Quinn The Eskimo]

I will have to take your word on it. I haven't seen it.

Why is the guitarist from Foo Fighters also playing with them?

[Quinn The Eskimo]

probably because he was in Nirvana

[Lemireacle]

He was a touring memebr of Nirvana.

[TakeAStepBack]

C'mon, Andy! Dave Grohl was the drummer of Nirvana.

[Quinn The Eskimo]

Yes and no.
He was brought in as a full member of the band. There was only one song recorded after he was brought on and Kurt killed himself before Pat Smear got a chance to lay down his part. He was supposed to be the fourth member of Nirvana, but things ended a little abruptly. So yes, Pat was their "touring" guitarist, but only because he didn't have a chance to record with them.

He was a touring memebr of Nirvana.

[TheDHJ]

It was just nice to see them on stage together after 18 years.

[TakeAStepBack]

Wait, Pat Smear or Dave Grohl?

[hoagie]

i thought they said Pap Smear...

:not a Nirvana fan:

[Quinn The Eskimo]

Shut up hippies, stick to your ancient, dinosaur caricatures going...furthur.

[TakeAStepBack]

LOLCourtneyLove

[Quinn The Eskimo]

Fuck her
She sold the publishing rights to the Nirvana catalog because she couldn't live off the millions of dollars a year she made

[James420]

So they played on SNL last night. Song sounded pretty good except for Paul screaming into the mic. Didnt really make sense to me at all.
It is nice to see David Grohl back where he belongs.

[Quinn The Eskimo]

Oh good. I am not alone.

[TheDHJ]

Kurt's looking down from heaven beaming. Anyone who knows Nirvana knows the insane Beatlemaniac Kurt was. The guys are doing this because they know Kurt would have loved it. Paul knows it and respects it too...the song has total Nirvana overtones...this is all being done with the utmost respect for Kurt in mind.

It's a trip to see Pat Smear from the Germs on stage with Sir Paul McCartney...
