Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic Write a Song with Some Bloke Named Paul McCartney
Unless you’ve been off-world for the past week or so, you’ll know that there was a Nirvana “reunion” of sorts when Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic were joined by Paul McCartney in the role of Kurt (well, sort of) for the 12-12-12 Concert and Saturday Night Live.
If you saw the SNL performance, you’ll probably have noticed the big “Sound City” sign as part of their stage set-up. That’s the name of Dave Grohl’s documentary film on the legendary (but defunct) LA recording studio where so many amazing records were made, including Nevermind.
So why have that sign onstage with Macca? Because he, Dave and Krist wrote a song for the soundtrack called “Cut Me Some Slack.” They played the song during their brief 12-12-12 set as well as on SNL.
Here’s the studio version of “Cut Me Some Slack.” A full tracklisting of the Sound City soundtrack is available after the jump courtesy Loudwire.
