After the Nirvana frontman's widow watched Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear perform the new song, "Cut Me Some Slack," with Beatle Paul McCartney, the outspoken rocker took to social media to share her opinion. And despite the song's name, Love did not hold back in reacting to the song.
"There it was," she posted on Facebook following the concert. "Uh it was bad."
Love didn't mince words when it came to criticizing McCartney's performance either.
"Yeah paul better get earmuffs for th bassplaying is all," she wrote.
No word from McCartney, but you can watch him perform with the surviving members of Nirvana in the video below.

Response to recently posted comments on Sir Paul is no K. Nobrain and possible movie about Nobrain & Nirvana,??? What did KC & the Nirvana Band ever do to be considered??? One lousy song on one crappy album?? If they didn't have Courtney Puke and her Bausch & Lomb bucks to back them they would just be another semi-talented band still playing like they are musicians in thier garages and maybe doing some oldies shows on weekends. Playing with a talent like Sir Paul, Nirvana should thank their lucky stars that they were even on the same stage with him, not the other way around. Cobain was not the 'second coming' of anything except to a few skewed and scambled brains..

December 17 2012 at 3:24 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyPaul McCartney looks like he's been dead for longer than Kurt. Wtf were they thinking letting him play in Kurt's place? He's well past it.
December 17 2012 at 2:29 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyCalling Courtney Love a "Rocker" is hilarious.....she hasn't had a music career in ages, and wouldn't have had one at all if not for her connection to Kurt Cobain. Her own daughter wants nothing to do with her-she's a mess. The ONLY way she gets any media attention is when she spews venom about someone else.

He has lived a great life but experienced profound losses. Her ugly behavior means nothing. If anything I would bet he feels sorry for her and won't bother to retaliate nor even comment other than to say something regarding the benefit event.
December 17 2012 at 11:49 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyThis woman is looking for attention doesn't care if its negative attention! Her past proves she knows how to get that but its been a while so taking a shot at a living legend, fine human being as Sir Paul was just too easy for her. Hey Courtney, YOU could get attention by doing something good for others... there's an idea!
December 17 2012 at 11:13 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyHer fifteen minutes have been up for centuries. She needs to sit down and shut up. No wonder everyone hates her, she's a horrible excuse for a human being.
December 17 2012 at 11:09 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyCourtney a rocker? I thought she was just a train wreck.
