OH I wasn't knocking on McCartney. I meant to that to be directed at people that might, though. People will mention it, but its impossible for him to be younger so, so what? He did a pretty great job right there, on a driving rock tune.

[worxforme]

Wow.

I don't care what the naysayers say, Paul singing and those guys blasting...

That rocked.

[electracoyote]

The best thing about Paul still being as active as he is, despite what percentage of his 20-something self you think remains or is missing, is that he is performing with a crack band songs that The Beatles and McCartney/Wings never played live, many of them hits and fan-favorites.

Like I say about Peyton Manning: Paul McCartney at 80% is still pretty friggin' good and entertaining.

[Richland123]

I was not overwhelmed by the song. However, McCartney sang way better than Cobain ever did. Kudos to Paul for still rocking it out.

[fjadams]

Unfortunately I fell asleep before he came on, the 5am wake up call came quick.

Was it the Beatles, no. Was it Nirvana, no.

But it was some pretty good musicians having fun for a good cause.

What more can one ask?

[Bloodhammer]

I think they rocked.

[lavmonga]

I thought it was great, it was a big relief that they didn't play a Nirvana song, that would have been gross.

I can't believe nobody is asking about Macca's guitar? What the heck was that thing?

[MarkMgibson]

I was never a Nirvana fan, but I liked it. I dug McCarntey's slide playing - not something you see every day. Did they just play the one song?

I know.

He had some awesome guitars, he must have changed guitars at least a half dozen times. Makes a world of difference when you have someone to take one and hand you the other. Switching guitars/ basses by yourself is a pain.

Glad I DVRed the whole thing. Refreshing to see a big TV concert where musicians actually play instruments.

There weren't many real bands playing on the Grammys.

Looked more like a mandolin.....

[geoff_in_nc]

I liked it. A lot. Much better representation of McCartney than Hey Jude during the Olympics.

It was just Rock and Roll. Grohl has jammed with McCartney before. It didn't thrill me, but it wasn't awful.

[Mugre]

Atrociously bad. If I saw a band at The Mint or Molly Mallone's playing that "jam", I'd be laughing at the badness as I left. The fact that these people are all legends doesn't make it any less boring and retarded. Besides the whole thing reeks of a stunt.

I liked it, before I make an opinion on a performance I always ask myself;

" Have I ever been involved or played at that level? "

The answer is always no, then I reserve my opinion. But that's just me.

IMO, the fact they are all world class musicians and legends came out in all those stellar performances.

I was on the edge of my seat, far from boring for me.

Look at it this way, it's why they are up there in the " big time" and we're at home watching them.

Stay positive

Dave ghrol could have sang. There was no reason to have sir Paul there. I think throwing him in was odd and seemed needless.
