And then actually if you really read it, he's not actually replacing Cobain, there just doing a slot together. Well that's how I read it anyway.

It's not really a very good fit tbh. Not in a, " that Macca is a ......" you usually get online, but there are probably more suitable artists.

Probably an opportunity for the remaining members of Nirvana to write a song with and play live with one of their heroes.

Put that way, I'm all for it then. Best of to them, sincerely.

[Deep Thought]

Fair play to 'em. I just hope they don't attempt 'Smells like Teen Spirit'.

What do you mean?!?! McCartney is left-handed; what else do you want?

There's no shame in that - I had to google to find out about this McCartney bloke.

He was the bloke who was held hostage in the middle east with Terry Waite wasn't he? That's why I thought it so odd.

[mart]

Well, if I thought Courtney Love might turn up, I think I'd opt for a few years sabbatical in the middle east.

The middle east, by the way, what is that - part way between Ely and Norwich?

[TimR]

Just down a bit. Near Colchester.

given Macca's age it's more likely to be 'Smells like boiled cabbage'

[jaydentaku]

well, i have witnessed the video of this and it was fairly loathsome.

[4 Strings]

Did he smash his Hofner?

[jaydentaku]

No, he was playing some goodness knows what, uke, type thing. It looked like a GCSE project.

He hardly touched it really and Dave was doing most of the singing. I really can't understand why he was there/needed. I am not even sure it was plugged in.

He did give a resounded "oh yeaah" at the end though. Implying, yes, that was truly amazing, wasn't it!? Very grungy.
