Paul McCartney & Nirvana's Krist Novoselic Shred Beatles Banger 'Helter Skelter'
Paul McCartney, Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic and Nirvana drummer/Foo Fighters fellow Dave Grohl teamed up in December 2012 at a Madison Square Garden–set benefit and gave the world "Cut Me Some Slack." The ultra-heavy track was completely on brand for McCartney—'68 McCartney, that is.
So that's the background you need going into this video of Sunday night's performance of "Helter Skelter," a revival of the McCartney/Novoselic connection, set in Nirvana's home turf of Seattle. Watch above as they power through the proto-metal classic.
