Someone posted an excerpt from the documentary with Paul:

I was getting chills watching this. The more I hear the song, the more I love it.

Between things like this and all the 50th anniversaries that we're approaching, it feels like an exciting time to be a Beatle fan.

I didn't care for the song - but I agree with bikelock28 that it was great to see McCartney let one rip.

Offsets "Kisses on the Bottom" and the image that he's an old fogie.

From the article on Dave Grohl's interview at LA's KROQ on recording with Paul:

Speaking to KROQ, Grohl called the Beatles legend "just the sweetest, nicest, most awesome person."

McCartney and Grohl had previously recorded some performances for Grohl's documentary on the iconic Sound City studios, in California.

Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and Nirvana's Nevermind are among the now legendary albums recorded at the studio.

Grohl later asked the former Beatle if he wanted to jam again.

"We walked in; we jammed the song. It just came out of nowhere," said Grohl. "The best songs happen that way."

"We recorded it live and put a ...

Yeah, I bought it too. I was glad that, although the other songs on the Sound City soundtrack are only available if you buy the whole album, they allows CMSS to be purchased on its own.

Bit unfair, probably, but I did wonder if Kurt would have come up with something more melodic if he'd been around. For a McCartney song it's strangely tuneless.

I think Pauls' perfomance was really good. Sounded better to me than he has done in a little while. Don´t really know all that much about Nirvana (so don't want to offend here) but is it me or did they look really tired/miserable/bored? Graet song though, as a lot of other people, it seems, I wasn't expecting much but I was impressed.

Well Dave sure didn't look like he was tired, and the only other member of Nirvana was Novoselic, who sure looked tired but he haven't played for almost 20 years, and he just aged I guess.

I thought last night's performance on SNL was even better than the 12.12.12 concert. He seemed to be even more comfortable performing it. I really hope this gets released as a single, I can see it playing well.

Looking tired/miserable/bored is the only way to be "cool", you see.

P.S.: Nirvana bores me to tears. I don't get them.

It was awesome, great to watch. Good to see he still sounds quite good for a 70 year old.

I thought the tune sounded a bit Led Zep-ish. I don't know why, but I didn't really liked the song it self. Maybe the recorded version will change my mind though.

So apparently Dave Grohl has been working on a documentary on Sound City, am LA based studio where Nirvana, Fleetwood Mac and Tom Petty among others recorded. In the course of this he met with and jammed with several music legends, including Sir Paul.

This tune comes from that session and will appear on the films soundtrack (due to premiere at Sundance this year) and may well be a single as well. As a single I think it has the legs for a top 10 spot. Imagine that. Paul is indeed timeless. And, I gotta say, I love me some Dave ...

Commenting on the "dad jeans" is sillier than wearing them.

Getting offended by that comment is even sillier.

That was a weird axe he was playing, though! What was up with that?

I'm curious about that too. Liked the song, can't wait to hear a studio version since they reportedly recorded it. The dad jeans were a bit unfortunate, though.
