Ex-Nirvana Member Dave Grohl Praises Sir Paul McCartney, Calls Him “The Sweetest Man”

Former Nirvana band member and metal band Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has some nice things to say about the Beatles legend and singer, Sir Paul McCartney. Grohl is getting ready for his movie premier at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.  

Grohl is collaborating with McCartney, and their track is called "Cut Me Some Slack" which was recorded in three hours.

"We walked in; we jammed the song. It just came out of nowhere. The best songs happen that way. We recorded it live and put a vocal over it and that was it. It was three hours and it was perfect," said Grohl to KROQ, Entertainmentwise reported.

"You have to understand, one of the great things about playing with Paul McCartney or playing with Neil Young is that that generation of musicians, they cherish and respect and value the practice of just going into a room and coming up with something and jamming and making it a song.

"There's not like seven songwriters and seven producers and digital technology or whatever. It's like people getting in a room."

Grohl will be marking his directorial debut at the Sundance Film Festival. He will be premiering a documentary on the iconic Sound City studios in California where Nirvana's "Nevermind" was recorded.

Both had performed together at the 12-12-12 fundraising concert for Hurricane Sandy affected victims last year.

The 44-year-old guitarist and singer will also perform a major act with great artistes like Stevie Nicks, Rage Against the Machine drummer Brad Wilk and Slipknot's Corey Taylor and many others.
