Paul McCartney + Nirvana

This is incredible! Check it out even if you're not a fan of Nirvana.



The song is called 'Cut Me Some Slack'

I watched it live last night. It's a cool performance and the song's not half bad either.

I need to see this...will have to check it later.

I have it on my DVR I will try to watch it this weekend

So I heard this was an original tune. True?

Yeah, it was.

As it happened, the mates didn't just happen to get together "to jam." They had already produced a new song, "Cut Me Some Slack," which (carelessly cliché title and all) was closer to the living solo-McCartney blueprint than Nirvana's impossible-to-recapture one. Outside of its potential charity-donation impact, you'd be hard pressed to call the track life-changing. But it was more than acceptable. Like many of McCartney's recent good-but-not great projects, there were minor delights to be found in it.

McCartney brought you your blues courtesy of an electric slide-guitar part, while Grohl pushed the medium-tempo groove with unflagging energy (and a particularly strong finish). Novoselic's bass part featured a stray figure that periodically moved away from Macca's line in a way that recalled Nirvana's adventurism in the search of new riffs, but it wasn't as though you could close your eyes and trick yourself into thinking it was the old band up there. How could it be so? The musicians knew this, and played their way around it, even as they talked of a "Nirvana reunion."

That's pretty cool, actually.

"Minor delights" to be found? Bah! Why can't they just admit that the song kicks f%#*^%@ arse!

I thought it was a cool tune.

It's got a pretty sweet groove to it.

Cut Me Some Slack was written by drummer Grohl, and is set to appear on his upcoming documentary movie Sound City, telling the story of the iconic California studio in which Nirvana recorded their Nevermind album.

I wasn't sure when I first heard this happened. I'm a fan of both McCartney & Nirvana but it just seemed like a strange pairing at this point. Damn that song proved my doubts wrong. I'd like a whole album with this pairing.
