Here's the studio version of Paul McCartney's song with surviving Nirvana members, "Cut Me Some Slack"

by Tyler Munro

Whether you’re uproarious or indifferent, Paul McCartney’s experiment with Nirvana’s surviving members has all but come and gone. But first, the studio version of “Cut Me Some Slack,” which is right up top for your listening pleasure. Or to scrutinize.

If you’re somehow confused, McCartney joined up with Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear this past Monday for a Hurricane Sandy benefit, leaving trashbags like Courtney Love to bicker and regular folks scratching their heads, especially when they actually kind of pulled it off. McCartney didn’t sing any classic Nirvana songs, Pat Smear had more fun than anyone and this new cut isn’t half bad. It’ll be on the soundtrack to Dave Grohl’s upcoming Sound City – Real to Real documentary, the tracklist for which was just revealed (and is fantastic — that’s it below).
