I didn't like the slide guitar, it make it sound like that new weird country sound Lynyrd Skynyrd has going on now. Paul McCartney's grunge singing was pretty rad though.

A bit more surprisingly, McCartney’s instrumental contribution came on a humble cigar-box guitar he played with a slide. The guitar, as it happens, was made here in the Southland by cigar-box guitar aficionado Matty Baratto, whose Cigfiddle creations were featured in a story I wrote last year about a modern-day revival of interest in the homespun cigar-box guitar tradition.The article this is from.
Baratto’s instruments have made their way into other famous hands, including those of Keith Richards and Johnny Depp, and present-day cigar-box players also include ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons and rocker Steve Miller.

Looks similar to this to me. Guitars generally have 6 strings.

This was quite good IMO. As incredibly unlikely as this is, I'd really like to see a small run of shows where Grohl/Novoselic/Smear back McCartney through his hits (and maybe a few Nirvana songs...????); it's pretty clear the band still have their chemistry. I don't think a full tour would be practicable, sadly.It's pretty amazing how Grohl can still go like the old days 20 years after Nirvana's untimely end - I guess limiting his drumming to guest spots and other musicians' sessions have helped keep him fresh.

@me_no_are_no_nice_guyThe cigar box guitar is a primitive chordophone that uses an empty cigar box for a resonator. "Guitar" refers to the traditional instrument and to a string bass. The earliest predecessors had one or two strings; the modern model typically uses three or more. Generally speaking, strings are connected between the end of a broomstick or 1" x 3" wood slat and to the resonator, the cigar box.

I don't know man, maybe I'm jaded but I don't think they really need to be performing as a Nirvana reunion without Kurt Cobain.
