- jcrs, on 05/26/2009, -3/+25Hmm... This should be interesting musically and lyrically. Good for them. I can't wait to hear it.
- schavira, on 05/26/2009, -1/+15If only this happened 40 years ago.
- warriorpoetist, on 05/26/2009, -1/+13If my calculations are correct, their collaboration should result in the greatest song ever written!
- angelgabe, on 05/26/2009, -0/+12Allow me to be the first person to flame you. You suck.
- smitty1701, on 05/26/2009, -1/+11I cannot believe so many of you think so poorly of two of musics biggest icons. Both of them have broken many musical boundaries and been the first to try and invent new ways of doing things. To look down on them is just blasphemy.
- atmenterprises, on 05/26/2009, -0/+9Sort of like Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison in the Traveling Wilburys? Yeah, that was stupid too. /s
- the2989, on 05/26/2009, -0/+9Obviously people on digg are close-minded trendwhores - they refuse to try to appreciate things that aren't from their time, and automatically label them as "sucks".
- DarthRonPaul, on 05/26/2009, -0/+8Bob Dylan smoked Paul & John & George & Ringo out for the first time in the sixties.
George & Dylan were GREAT together in their band Traveling Wilburys and the concert for Bangladesh.
Curious to hear this....Paul's got a poppy edge but he still sounds good, I saw him in April at Coachella.
Dylan's new album is OK, his sand & glue voice has gotten grittier & there are a lot more accordions...Very curious to hear this... - markbushy, on 05/26/2009, -0/+5McCartney and Dylan or Dylan and McCartney?
- DiggMistress, on 05/27/2009, -0/+5I'm lookin forward to seeing what they came up with... i'm still full of admiration after seeing Bob live a couple weeks ago.
- bloodqc, on 05/26/2009, -0/+5The "Sir" thing is lame. I don't recognize any of the queen power.
- grapesofbaath, on 05/27/2009, -0/+5I don't know why you are expecting to hear Bob Dylan on top 40 radio next to Beyonce and Justin Timberlake. If you want to hear some great new music, listen to Time out of Mind, Love and Theft, or Modern Times, all (relatively) recent Bob Dylan albums.
Admit it, you don't know anything about either artist besides having heard "Like a Rolling Stone" on the radio, and owning a copy of "Sg. Pepper" or "Revolver". - b3astie, on 05/26/2009, -0/+4Came here to say the same thing, they were fantastic.
- inactive, on 05/27/2009, -0/+4Everybody whining on here about "relevance" and "significance" - and deriding McCartney and Dylan for currently lacking the same - should flesh out their insults and define their terms so we can see just how far up their asses their heads are.
- richirwin, on 05/26/2009, -3/+7Elvis Costello will find some way to complete this unholiest of trinities.
- pappyblueribs, on 05/26/2009, -0/+4I hope it has "Ebony and Ivory (Extended Hot Mix)" on it.
- theskillwithin, on 05/26/2009, -0/+3The shadowy past, Is so vague and so vast. I eat when I'm Hungry, I drink when I'm dry.
- deathcannon, on 05/26/2009, -1/+4I hope it comes out sounding like Maps & Atlases.
- HiroOfShadows, on 05/26/2009, -0/+3Dude, that's just like.... woah. Very cool stuff, I hope it turns out well.
I'll certainly give it a listen. - hotjava23, on 05/27/2009, -0/+3What happened to the McCartney and Colbert collaboration album? It's pure magic when both of them sing together.
http://digg.com/d1j2ea - HiroOfShadows, on 05/26/2009, -0/+3No.
- devilclown, on 05/27/2009, -0/+3From Wiki:
"Ebony and Ivory" is a 1982 number-one single by Paul McCartney, performed with Stevie Wonder. It was released on March 29 of that year....Ebony and Ivory" spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was the fourth-biggest hit of 1982."
Not my thing, but it does answer your question. - zacattac50, on 05/27/2009, -0/+3bite your tongue sir. george harrison was a genius.
- danielinvermont, on 05/27/2009, -0/+3I think you mean that Dylan introduced The Beatles to pot which he did,
- breakneckridge, on 05/26/2009, -1/+3Dylan also made an album with the Grateful Dead, and it's a pretty lame album. Then again, that album was made in the 80's, which was generally a bad time for music*, so who knows what a Dylan collaboration album made today might sound like.
* = Yes, there was a lot of great music the came out of the 80's also, but overall, generally speaking the 80's were a bad time for music. - Strongo, on 05/27/2009, -0/+2I'm a hug fan of both. I however feel that the time has passed. I've heard dylan live...he's not the same. It's a shame. I'd rather just want to wonder what could have been.
- JugularJuice, on 05/27/2009, -0/+2wow ok, read the Beatles Biography.
Paul was incredibly oppressive and dull when it came to creative direction.
Yes he's talented, but his money and fame are entirely thanks to Lennon. - grapesofbaath, on 05/27/2009, -0/+2True, those were two fantastic albums, but George Harrison was still at the top of his game. George's and Dylan's songs were the best on the albums. However, Paul McCartney is marshmallow fluff, and has been for 30 years.
- Steeple, on 05/26/2009, -0/+2nobody's criticizing their old stuff, granddad, it's "top of the hit parade" but name one significant artistic contribution mccartney's made in the last 30 years?
frog song? - RatatRatR, on 05/27/2009, -0/+2The stuff McCartney recorded as The Fireman in the '90s is interesting. Not necessarily the greatest music ever, but it should be acknowledged before you accuse him of not having tried anything new or experimental.
- inactive, on 05/26/2009, -5/+7Hmm, I'm not fond of McCartney. He's a Scouser when it suits him.
- dead56k, on 05/26/2009, -12/+14Two artists that haven't put out anything relevant in 20+ years.
Now we will get a bloated album with boring rock/pop songs, and I'm sure a big tour that will have giant ticket prices.
but i'm sure people will eat this up. - inactive, on 05/27/2009, -0/+2Define "significant artistic contribution."
- evilregis, on 05/27/2009, -0/+2He who goes to bed with itchy bum wakes up with stinky finger.
- Strongo, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1too little to late
- evilregis, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1Spoken like someone who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to music.
- grapesofbaath, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1All of those artists (except maybe Orbison) put out much better music than McCartney post-Beatles.
- ViscidGobs, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1Wango. Hit the nail on the head. Music just went from bad to worse. I hope these two reach the ripe old age of 150. Year after year proving how irrelevant they are. To all the young people out there, go make your own music. Stop listening to your parents music, are you your parents? No.
Express yourself start singing about what sucks in the world and what you dream about and stop towing the corporate line. Get off your asses and get out of your parents basements and stop being apathetic *****. - JugularJuice, on 05/27/2009, -0/+140 years ago Dylan introduced the Beatles to weed, he did his part.
- kidcodea, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1clearly, u didnt heard mccartney latest album
- sonofashoe, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1We all like Paul but enough of the Sir. Elton John is a Sir. Takes a bit of the valor out of it all.
- DarthRonPaul, on 06/06/2009, -0/+1The difference is Dylan and McCartney go way back to the early 60s. I doubt Robert Plant and Eminem have even met. Old chums vs. strangers
- RatatRatR, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1I've never thought Dylan & The Dead is as bad as its reputation.
- PatrickOwtf, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1yeah, because they're music legends.
- bluesman3535, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1Dylan and W. Campbell---there, fixed it.
- RatatRatR, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1The concerts are very different, but as an old man, Dylan has turned out some interesting songs from the studio. (Ironic, since as a youngster, he liked to use his studio time to just bang out first-take ramble-throughs.)
- inactive, on 05/27/2009, -0/+1Define relevant.
- dead56k, on 06/02/2009, -0/+1i have nothing to admit. i'm not stuck listening to ***** irrelevant music from 30 years ago like you are, apparently. nor do i own a copy of either ***** beatles records.
- guitarstar, on 08/24/2009, -0/+1It would be interesting to see a picasso dali collab tho. haha
