KRIST NOVOSELIC TALKS NIRVANA REUNION WITH PAUL MCCARTNEY, SAYS IT WAS ‘HEAVY’

By: 20 December 2012 20 Comments

From Krist Novoselic’s blog:

The collaboration came out of the Sound CIty film that was produced and directed by Dave. He asked me if I wanted to play with him, Pat and Paul? I said YES! It was a wonderful day — Paul came in with this cigar box guitar and started playing some mean slide on it. He said it was in a “D”. Hearing that, Grunge instincts took over my left hand and I dropped the E on the bass to D. Pat and Dave got into it and the tune took shape. Paul flashed a riff and we picked it up. I busted another one out and everyone picked it up. Things started coming together.

It was so exciting to play with Paul. I became seized with thoughts, for I hadn’t played like that with Pat or Dave since the last Nirvana show in 1994. Wow, it was emotionally and musically heavy! Some other things brought me back; there was a Lefty on guitar who was a heck of a songwriter. Anyway, words can’t really describe it and I returned to the task at hand. A new song was born! And that’s about it. That’s all it is — a new song by some players who have doing it for a while.

    I would like my heavy, weighty balls to descend upon Taylor Momsen’s face.

    Heavy isn’t the half of it – I can’t stop watching the SNL version where McCartney ‘lets go’ toward the end.

    McCartney for the Win. Thank you Dave et al for pulling this off — it’s beyond stellar.

    I can’t count how many times I’ve listened to it and watched both performances, but it releases some chemical in my brain that keeps me awake for hours afterward as if I’m “awaiting the next track on the LP”.

    Hey Brett, Slash put on FB that he’s putting out a song he did with Mark Lanegan later.

    “Magic mike ” it’s creepy small cocked jock faggots like u that killed grunge in the first place!!! your not a true fan because anyone who thinks being a sexist creep is okay CANNOT be a punk rocker. Why can’t u just respect women instead of degrading them?? Go and listen to limp bizkit u weak limp piece of shit. Dude the only time u can ever get laid is with $10 lady boy tricks using your mommy’s pocket money. Seriously get the fuck out of our scene.

    Why the fuck can’t some guys just leave their sexist disgusting comments to themselves. Why cant you just respect a chick for standing up and playing rock n roll instead of making sick comments about raping her n all. Don’t ever buy my records or go to my shows. I don’t want you as a fan. I hate you with a passion u weak piece of shit. Grow the fuck up. Maybe chris brown wants u as a fan but ur no punk rocker. If u dont understand how against people like u punk rock is then maybe learn to read first before u troll some chicks utube video with that shit. weak petty little white “male”. fucking die in a ditch. That song polly is about u.

    Yeah, some of us would like to vote you out of being a “writer” here on grungereport.

  • Shayla said:

    These disgusting, woman degrading Momsen comments may have started out as a funny side joke, but they’ve really gone too far. I think I’m done here for a while.

  • Krist Novoselic said:

    Hey bro, I love grunge and rock n roll. I love the lifestyle, the rebellion, and the desire to make music for love of it, and not to just win awards. But that doesn’t I don’t mean I can’t have a sense of humor and enjoy the greatest thing in existence, SEX. Men like women, so don’t get offended by sexual comments on here.

  • Abe Froman said:

    Nice, now he’s commenting under the name Kris Novoselic.

    I wanted to avoid taking the cheese as this guy is obviously trolling, and reacting to his comments is playing into his hands and giving him the attention he is craving. With that being said, it’s pretty embarrassing for this site that Brett allows this crap. It’s a joke.

    (While on the subject, what’s the fucking point of writing “be nice, keep it clean and stay on topic” if you’re not going to enforce it, huh Brett?)

  • Beavis said:

    Chill out guys, heh heh.

  • Magic Mike Mazzarone said:

    I have a craving. And the only cure? Is more Taylor Momsen.

  • jjc19461 said:

    Is it just me, or do i have a feeling Brett is also posting as “Magic Mike Mazzarone?”

  • Butthead said:

    Huh, huh “magic,” huh, huh.

  • GenXLady said:

    @Abe Froman…the “Sausage King of Chicago?” (Ferris Bueller)…love that. :-) .

    Oh, and Magic Mike, please do take the advice being offered to you here. That would probably be a good thing.

  • Christine said:

    It’s typical at all sites this time of year: kids are at home from high school and home from college, spam is expected for the next two to three weeks, sadly, as they have more energy to antagonize than they do to actually listen to the music the rest of us appreciate. sad sad, their loss.

  • Magic Mike Mazzarone said:

    My energy level is high once again. Time for a release…

    *Gets some KY lube and season one of Gossip Girl ready*

  • Abe Froman said:

    @jjc19461, yup, and a lot more, including Christine
