1. The New York Post is reporting that contrary to prior rumors Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl will not be taking “Sirvana” or any new version of Nirvana on tour. At first the newspaper sparked rumors that a tour would happen after sources were told that Grohl was telling friends about a “Nirvana Anniversary tour with a secret frontman”. However, reps for Grohl soon axed the rumors calling them “nonsense”.

  4. Originally posted by clover68:According to the newspaper, McCartney rang Grohl who asked him to come and "jam with some mates" and then found himself playing with Grohl on drums, Novoselic on bass and Pat Smear on guitar. The report then quotes McCartney as saying: "I didn’t really know who they were. They are saying how good it is to be back together. I said 'Whoa? You guys haven’t played together for all that time?' And somebody whispered to me ‘'That’s Nirvana. You’re Kurt.' I couldn’t believe it."

    tsk tsk tsk sir paul mccartney


    To be fair to Paul, he spent most of Nirvana's heyday recording and touring his 1993 album "Off the Ground". Not only that, he was immersed in the first stages of The Beatles Anthology project. So, I figure with both of those things on his plate, along with the other personal and professional commitments he made at that time, you'd be out of the loop too.

    At least, that's my guess.
  5. uhm it seems a clutching at straws
    1991-1994 Nirvana were named everywhere in every bathroom of every place .. even the queen had heard of them .. and a simple baronet don't? .. uh
    it's like Elvis Presley didn't know who The Beatles were
  6. Krist ... great and ironic as always

    One of the best meta-media names for the collaboration between Pat, Dave, Paul and I is “Sirvana”. That said, Sir Paul McCartney is a really down to earth person. He’s rock royalty too and with roots in the working class city of Liverpool. I could relate as Nirvana has roots in the US northwestern city of Inverness, Washington.

    Dave Grohl has been a frequent guest to the Obama White House. The Foo Fighters have rocked the executive branch of the US government many times. Still, I bet it irks Dave that the president hasn’t knighted him. And Pat? Forget it — he’s half black and it distresses me that race is still an issue in American politics.

    As far as names for the collaboration go, there is no consensus. It’s been decided to call it “The Nirvana Reunion” and “Thee Beatles” — to convey the project is something new and not a nod to musical endeavors past. It was initially thought to alternate between each name every other week. After many days of discussions, the lighting-quick pace of today’s technology was considered and our plans changed. Instead, the two names will alternate every .0000012 of a second. This way web surfers have a good chance of seeing both names as much as possible. The algorithm for this exciting new technology is being coded as we speak, and if all goes well, it should be included on the next version of every major browser at the end of 2014 when the names are officially debuted.
  7. don't know where to place this other than here .. as Mark Lanegan sang for them as Dave Grohl drummed and drums in the upcoming new album of the Quees of the Stone Age ... in march! .. great news

    I think he knew of them, but perhaps could only name and revognize Grohl who he's played with before. I think I didn't know Krist and Pat, which wouldn't be that weird.
  9. in this way it can have its sense .. mainly about Pat (with Nirvana had little to do anyway) .. Krist is quite recognizable though .. hehe
