I think you'll find that there are only 2 surviving members

Smear is performing with them - he was at least a touring member until they broke up and we have no idea if he was set to play on the 4th album or not and we'll never know.

Rather cool

chad channing, jason everman + paul mccartney

I guess so. He played in the secret reunion back in 2010 though. I genuinely think he would've been a full time member come album 4.

Couldn't get anymore opposite, no-one was ever crying for a Nirvana reunion so it should have been left alone.

If they were gonna get a big name to do it, it should've been Corey Taylor. No doubt in my mind he would've been suited to the job.

wonder if Courtney Love will try suing Paul McCartney now? ;)

I Hate Myself and I Want to Live and Let Die.

I doubt this is true, but if so it's a truly, truly terrible idea.

this is supposed to be today?

It seems to have been picked up by a few rather reputable sites, still I hope it's false.

Tbf if you were to use the old 'would Kurt approve?' argument the answer would undoubtedly be yes.

No doubt, Kurt loved The Beatles.

Paul > Kurt in my eyes.

Yeah but imagine Paul singing Rape Me.

"Paul > Kurt in my eyes."
Agreed but Nirvana had their time, place and sound and Paul singing nirvana reeks of failure. I'm assuming they are not doing Nirvana tracks?

lol if this i true its gonna be funny as hell

and yea i agree it would be like death reunining with rob halford

It is true, been all over the news and radio in the UK

Kurt Cobain, "I like the Beatles, but I hate Paul McCartney"

Could be kind of interesting if nothing else. I doubt they will play any Nirvana songs, the media is undoubtedly making it it out to be more than it is.

lolwut

A Nirvana gig with no Nirvana songs, right...

um

I still can't believe this, McCartney of all people

"Here he is, ladies and gentleman, the one and only... McCobain!"

Yeah shitty idea.

i hope they play blew

Dunno Taylor can fit most styles and probably imitate Cobain quite well - whenever he's performed other people's songs before he's done pretty good portrayals.

lol bad idea

maybe the guy from the pixies. that would be neat. but i couldnt see it happening.

Beatles >>>> Nirvana

Frank Black from the Pixies would have been sweet.

Geddy Lee would have been better

If we forget the fact that Geddy Lee plays bass, it would still be a train wreck. Wait...were you just being sarcastic?

Worse than Loutallica

this really makes sense. I mean think about it.

Don't believe it myself.

people comparing Beatles and Nirvana, get the fuck out

McCartney's voice is fucked, I can't see how this would work!

Chris Cornell would have been a good choice.

just. cant. see. it. Man so Grohls has been jamming with ex members of Zeppelin and now the Beatles.

get anthony green on that shit


EDIT: http://youtu.be/9izfxtZl04U

Get no-one on it and prevent Cobain's legacy from being tarnished

Nah you first bro

almost interesting

lol this is ridiculous !

So he didn't even know who they were? And then agreed to perform with them?

The guy is an arsehole and is shit live

Well this is really weird. I wonder if they chose to do it with Paul because Kurt was such a big Beatles fan.

Kurt was a Lennon guy though

He didn't like McCartney

I'm sure he liked him, I'm just sayin his idol was Lennon

So it should be, everyone loves Lennon

They're gonna play Bleach in its entirety and Paul is just gonna do his Helter Skelter thing all the way through

You guys are totally right. They should just use a John Lennon hologram to stand in for Kurt.

Paul knew who Grohl was. He jammed with him a few years ago on something.

wow this is probably going to be terrible

sir paul doesn't need to concern himself with these other lesser acts

Has potential... but it could very well suck super hard. Can't decide.

"Paul McCartney is a legendary musician, but he is also a cocky douchebag"


um...

he's PAUL MCCARTNEY like

Wonder who Courtney will sue over this!

i was related to paul mccartney once but i still don't like him

Jared Letto would have been better. He even looks a lot like Kurt.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5Kf4zBL6V8

i really want to see how this turns out

this is incredible and unwanted

This will be interesting to see. I mean, it's not like people said "Hey, we should put Nirvana back together but with McCartney as Kurt." The band thought that it would be cool, don't understand why all of you are getting so butthurt about it.

Wonder who Courtney will sue over this!

So it should be, everyone loves Lennon

how do i get an avatar pic

suck chan's dick

They should play Stain.

um.. guys.. they won't play any Nirvana songs, they'll perform one song they wrote together

this is so damn stupid, come on you guys - you're better than this

Why'd they need to bring Bon Jovi out to ruin "Born to Run"? I swear, looking at Bon Jovi is like going 30 years into the future and seeing grown up Bieber. Such a douche.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=s5cxpRRmCg8 concert streaming here. Might take a while but Foo Fighters linked to it, time to find out if the rumours are true.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT'S THAT BINT FROM TWILIGHT

tori black talking about new jersey yesss

Oh? Nirvana is evolving!

So Pat Smear's dad would be Pap Smear?

Excellent

So... did people forget about Katrina? Everyone keeps saying we have never seen a storm like this and shit like that but I'm pretty sure Katrina did more damage. What's with that?

tori black talking about new jersey yesss

whoa

They actually sound good. This is nice.

not a Beatles fan but respect them I'am a huge John Lennon & Nirvana fan tho.thought this would suck with McCartney leading let me say i take that back i was blown away!!!

does anyone have a link to this performance
