It's not really a Nirvana reunion though is it...just some blokes getting together to do a few songs and a couple of 'em used to be in Nirvana. Dave Grohl and McCartney are mates anyway and have played together in public back in 2009.

Its as close to a Nirvana reunion as you'll get without Kurt - Grohl and Novoselic plus Pat Smear who is on the Unplugged MTV show
Grohl, Novoselic and Smear played on a song on the last Foo Fighters album. It's not like they are reforming under the name Nirvana with Macca. A non story.

Very true - they haven't done an INXS with Terence Trent D'Arby playing Michael Hutchence!
Think it's making headlines as it'll be on stage rather than in the studio

Yeah. Although it's being reported in some places as a reunion, it isn't really, hence 'reunion' in the title. Grohl and Smear have been playing together for years, and as johnny73 says Novoselic recorded with them on the last Foos album. However, the thought of Macca doing Nirvana songs is hilarious, even though it won't happen.
Listen to the early Beatles stuff .. like Long Tall Sally .. Maca has got a great rock n roll voice .. also, songs like Maybe I'm Amazed ... mind you, that was along time agobe
Always thought Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters as a hugely overrated band. I know it is all subjected but I've just never understood the fuss around them. Same as Kings of Leon, Killers etc.
Plus that incident where he acted to big and brave to shout down that fan fighting as "his" show was embarrassing.
The Foo Fighters are brilliant and I don't listen to the hype I listen to the music. As for calling out a fan for starting a fight with another fan and ruining enjoyment for others - I wish more rock musicians would do that.

Agreed, if it hadn't have sounded so false and egotistical when doing it.

I don't know about false but obviously he has an ego. I've been to quite a lot of foo gigs and he is not an understated person in any sense. I can see how it would come across as fake perhaps he really lost it or maybe planned it in advance because he wanted to get the message across to a wider audience. It does happen quite often (and he had never said a word before). One thing I've noticed is all his off the cuff blurb between songs at gigs is rehearsed and if you see him more than once during a tour the speeches are identical. But then I don't go for his 'You are the best effing fans in the world' statements.
What. A. Joke. It's a bit like getting Cliff Richard to fill in for Freddie Mercury. Oi Macca. NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can still remember the day I heard someone on the radio claim that Nickleback were the new Nirvana. That was the day I stopped listening to music radio stations.

Shocker. Hope it goes okay for him, I do but, not hopeful.
