...dick!

Paul McCartney is never a dick. He's a frickin' musical genius and icon. That'll learn ya ;) !

\m/

Please don't do it. A Nirvana reunion without Kurt Cobain is like a Mr. Bungle reunion without Mike Patton or a Sublime reunion without Brad Nowell.

OK, all this "no X = no Y" stuff is getting out of hand. First off, Nirvana was a 3-piece (before Pat briefly joined), so if Dave and Krist jam together then that basically constitutes a "Nirvana reunion without Kurt". I guess those two better steer clear of each other for fear of offending the old Nirvana purists out there.
Second, since Dave and Pat are currently in the same band, we have half of Nirvana together, with no Kurt! Blashphemy!! Add to this, that Krist jammed with them on their last album, so wow, this is too much to take at this point.

No The KarlMarxAbortion = No _________________

How can u not fuckin' know who they are? Foo Fighters is one of the biggest bands the last 15 years! They played with fuckin' Led Zep in London! Paul must be getting Alzheimer's.

He knows who Grohl and Foo Fighters are, he didn't know Pat Smears and Novoselic. Should he know them by sight?

If he called Grohl, obviously he knows of him...and I don't think they're plugging it as a Nirvana reunion. Though the guys in Thin Lizzy had the nerve recently.

Couldn't they bring someone who would fit better on the spot? McCartney?? Really? Fuck...

Paul is now a crotchety, old curmudgeon. Beatles were a boy band

Dumbest, most ignorant post of the day...so far.

Insane, crying, screaming hoarde of teanage girls = boy band

...seriously, just FUCK OFF, Paul.

The Stones were always better, in any case. AND they still sound great live. And they just put out a couple of new tunes that kick ass.

When was the last time McCartney put out anything worth a damn....?

Oh that's right, it was with Wings. In the 1970's.

George Harrison was the true badass in the Beatles. He is missed.

when has the STones put out anything worth a damn. (and I love the Stones) or 99% of the 60's artists. Jimmy Page, etc. They had their day. I think his contributions in the Beatles alone are fine enough...the well runs dry for all of them.

agree on Harrison.

He obviously knew Dave Grohl - why would he know the loser bassist and who cares 2nd guitarist from Nirvana?

Morons.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

You left "I'm here all week!" off the end there.

Facts don't lie. The Stones catalogue tramples The Fab Four's into the dust. This isn't even a debate.

both kick ass, but no one's catalogue tramples the Beatles. The Stones would be the only band that can even be in the conversation.

No Ringo=No Nirvana

bunch of fucking morons are on this site, I keep realising.
Really, most of the comments above are so pathetic, it makes you wonder what these people do to make a living.
Or, for that matter, where they learned how to read and interpret a piece of text (however small it may be)

Really, the human race can be such a disappointment

So go kill yourself and save the rest of us your despair!

No Bill Fuck = No Beatles

Haha, all aboard the stupid train.

There is no doubt who will have the biggest chubbs tonight and that will be Dave, Kris and Pat. If you said something about Paul in front of any of those dudes they would probably take a shit on your chest.

Get some respect, you schlepps.

Should be interesting to see Paul w/ Nirvana. Could turn out to be good.

No Pat Smear = No Deep Purple

To see Paul perform "Negative Creep" with them.

I thought it sounded interesting, seeing the big Beatles fan Kurt was. He would be freaking if he could see this! I don't see it as a Nirvana reunion at all. Also comparing the Beatles to the Stones is a dumb argument. It's like comparing Nirvana to Pearl Jam(I don't like Pearl Jam though!).The Beatles and The Stones are after all "The big 2" The Beatles singing and song crafting was superior to The Stones, but the Stones have some great deliciously evil sounding songs that I love too. PM's voice is still pretty much the same as it always was, although he hasn't released anything decent for quite a while. Don't disrespect The Beatles or The Stones!

Blasphemy! To quote the Meatmen "fuck the Beatles" Hope someone takes that bitch McCartney out!

Scratch that. I stand corrected. THIS is the dumbest, most ignorant post of the day.

It's not a rumor. Sir Paul has confirmed that he will be onstage with the band tonight.

Grampa's Spirit.

..... McCartney allegedly has over £650mm in the bank, do you think he gives a flying fuck what Anyone thinks ?

looks/sounds funny playing "I Saw Her Standing There" in that video

Without the Beatles there would be no Sabbath which in turn there would be no Nirvana.

And without Buddy Holly there would be no Beatles.

I hope they do "Rape Me"

(I hope they don't do "Rape Me")

Yeah, you're extra super cool 'cause you didn't buy into the Beatles "hype"!! You win!!

...none other than fuckin' LEMMY said that the Stones were all art-school posers and the Beatles truly grew up in the rough end of town. The Beatles were the real "bad boys". Yeah, their image became planned and processed with the matching suits and all, but that era was only a speck compared to what came before and after.

I mean, the Stones are cool, too, but this "I'm too cool to like the Beatles" crap is stupid.

OF COURSE they will NOT be doing any Nirvana songs.

-sigh-

Nirvana is one of the most overrated bands of all time.

It makes me sad whenever I hear a member of this younger generation state a dislike of the Beatles.

I don't dislike The Beatles. Excellent song writers. Just overrated like Nirvana. I'm over 40

even if they aren't your cup of tea, they wrote one classic album after another. Where's the overrated come in? Never before or after has a band been so ambitious, creative, changing, and prolific. My only slight criticism of the Beatles is they stopped playing live, and didn't have the more modern killer show. (ala Led Zep etc).

Nirvana gets a bad rap today, always getting shit on, on the other hand, they don't deserve their "revolutionary" status. But Nevermind, while overplayed, is stellar.

Who else can you think of who knows and works with Paul McCartney and John Paul Jones on an occasional basis?

I bet Kurt Cobain is smiling at the idea of this gig. I highly doubt he's upset that Paul McCartney is playing a little something with his former bandmates. Considering how much The Beatles influenced Kurt's writing, it's even sweeter.

Damn: Dave knows the Zeppelin guys, Paul McCartney...

Good for him, man. At least Dave Grohl is a cool guy and an equally awesome musician. Sounds cool. Rock on!

\m/

"I bet Kurt Cobain is smiling at the idea of this gig" - doubt it, he's dead.

I grew up on The Beatles thanks to my old man. Personally I think their songwriting is phenomenal. Don't get me wrong, they had a shit load of really questionable material but songs like Eleanor Rugby, Across the Universe and A Day in the Life are stellar.

Paul as Kurt Cobain? Uh, not so sure about that. Think Eddie Vedder or Lane Stanley (RIP) would have been more appropriate.

They are'nt gonna play anything by Nirvana, obviously! Why would they?
Paul is great, you can't really expect him to know how Krist looks 20 years later, can you? What do you think he does on his sparetime, checking out latest rock news on Blabbermouth?

He obviously knew abot Nirvana, and how special it was to play with them, right?

He is a genius songwriter, still is. Listen to My valentine on the latest jazz/pop release. Check out the minor/major chordchanges. Genious.

Imagine if they asked Fred Durst to fill in?

I like Nirvana a bit, but they weren't 'legendary'. Just a good punk influenced, pop rock band.

Foo Fighters are boring, although, some stuff with Pat Smear was OK.

Beatles influenced SUPERGRASS, which I like as well. Never thought any member of that band was great, except for George Harrison, who wrote a couple of good tunes and loved Indian culture. Speaking of which, RIP to MR. RAVI SHANKAR

Can't give a fuck about them playing together!

is simply playing with the remaining survivors of Nirvana. that's it. Joining them on stage. nothing more. Reunion? Paul's not playing w/Nirvana. "Paul as Kurt Cobain"? where is this stuff coming from?

Indeed, McCartney could handle his drugs.

this is true Bong Warrior, the man's been a Bong Warrior for 45 years.

What's Next?

An N.W.A. reunion with Tom Jones filling in for Eazy-E??

I saw Paul McCartney a couple weeks ago. He's sounding great and he's still playing 3 hour sets, nearly 40 songs a night. How many bands do that? And for a guy who's 70? ... amazing stuff.


This benefit concert will kick serious ass.

no bill ward=no melvins=no nirvana

The Beatles had more number 1s in 10 years than the Stones had had in 50 years, also the Beatles were way more innovative & groundbreaking than the Stones. That is all

Wonder what they are gonna play. Maybe a little 'Territorial Pissings' and 'Stay Away'. Boy would that be entertaining.

Cool

Obviously you're too fucking stupid to perceive the meaning of "fact". Just because it's your OPINION one band is better than another does not make that a fact. You fucking idiot.

had to check it wasn't april 1st.
