Not a joke, story is here. It’s for a Hurricane Sandy benefit tonight in NYC. Looks like they’ll be playing a new song, and I doubt Macca will be learning any of the old ones to play w/ them.
From the article:
We live in a bizarre universe. :eek:
The show lineup looks pretty awesome. One reviewer said of The Who’s soundcheck, “…it was high-octane as hell. Pete Townshend’s arm did 11 full windmills during the first song alone.”
There’s a link on the left to Nirvana Beatles songs.
Some of the suggested songs:
Oh, well. Paul had been rumored to be dead all those years ago. It’s only fitting that he fills in for Kurt Cobain.
I hope they do “Octopus’ Garden in [del]Courtney Love’s Vagina[/del] a Heart-Shaped Box”
Point of order - [del]Are we gonna do Stonehenge again tonight?[/del] Is McCartney going to be on guitar? Or bass?
Isn’t Krist Novasiaklekljqrlewa or whatever the bass player?
My bet is guitar.
I can’t imagine this is going to sound very good.
I can’t wait to hear what this sounds like. Dave and Kris haven’t played Nirvana tunes in public since Kurt Cobain’s suicide.
Merged duplicate threads.
So did it happen? A crazy bald, fat man is blabbering now. Wait, that’s Billy Joel.

[/QUOTE]That’s a really crappy video with even worse audio, but from what I can hear, it’s a really good song.
ETA: Found a 30 second real deal video, and fuck yeah, that’s a great song!
DAMMIT! Stupid short edit window!
There’s a full video at the end of the article I linked to in my previous post. I didn’t see it because I was trying to get the URL linked before the edit window expired.
ETA: It is the unbelievably coolest thing in the world to see Pat on stage and in a band with Paul! It had to be a dream come true for him!
^ Here’s another YouTube clip with better audio:
Sir Paul’s speaking voice seems to have taken a beating, but he can still sing pretty well - or maybe this song is just suited to whatever’s happened to his voice…
I love Paul’s cigar-box guitar. Very low-tech in a cool way. They are going through a big resurgence these days.
That was a cool jam, and it did bridge the common ground between the bands just a little bit. I did find myself wishing they could’ve worked up a Nirvana song, but I figure they didn’t have time.
I’m trying to find out what that instrument is. It’s a 4 string, right? Almost looks like a baritone uke of some kind.
