I went to Bass pro shop and to my surprise they didn't have a single bass guitar.

McCartney would top it.
Good luck though to him!
Might be interesting.

Can his voice pull it off?
Sounds like a train wreck to me.

But surely you were joking about the "guitar player" part. Right?

It's not like Kurt Cobain was a stellar singer in the first place.
Given a choice amongst old farts, I'd have taken Neil Young as an obvious choice. |

Kurt was not a guitar virtuoso but he did have a raw unique style.
I think the only people that will enjoy that show will be Paul McCartney fan boys.
Just another money grab by Dave Grohl

Just another money grab by Dave Grohl | Well, this is purely subjective, but I don't hear Cobain doing anything that my third-month beginner guitar students or McCartney couldn't pull off.
Totally agreed about the Grohl comment though.
