September 3, 20223 yr Just now, Gil Bang said: Same, and it sounded very off-key Dave looked pretty disgusted.

September 3, 20223 yr You know, I like QOTSA just fine, but man, Josh should not be trying to sing Elton John songs.

September 3, 20223 yr I'm pretty sure nobody is ever going to describe Lars Ulrich's drumming as "metronomic".
September 3, 20223 yr Love that they went to Omar Hakim for YYZ. No offense to Dave, but it by Rush's admission their hardest tune, and Omar is even bigger monster than Dave.
September 3, 20223 yr Who was singing on the first two Queen songs?Luke Spiller....lead singer for The Struts
September 3, 20223 yr I'm surprised Roger Taylor & Brian May didn't bring Adam Lambert. Maybe Hawkins knew Spiller.
September 3, 20223 yr I'm surprised Roger Taylor & Brian May didn't bring Adam Lambert. Maybe Hawkins knew Spiller.Yeah saw this article of Spiller:I owe so much of where I am right now to him, from getting the opportunity to open up for the Foos … even coming to L.A., and sort of laying roots down here, which, again, was life-changing, and probably something that I wouldn’t have done if he hadn’t encouraged it,” Spiller reflected. “So I owe him a great amount, and I kind of still do, with these shows that are coming up. I still kind of find it a bit ludicrous that I’m even considered to be on that bill, considering the lineup. It’s going to be a really bittersweet experience. In many ways I wish I wasn’t doing it, but I kind of know in my heart of hearts, and I can actually see Taylor jumping with excitement, if I was to have called him up and be like, hey, I’m going to be singing a couple of Queen songs with Queen, he’d be like, oh my god! I know that he’d be super excited for me.”
September 3, 20223 yr I had no idea Greg Allman was still alive, nor that he could sing like that.Lol
September 3, 20223 yr Man, now I understand why Queen's group vocals were so well-blended. While Brian May isn't the mega-gifted vocalist that Freddie Mercury was, he has a similar range and tone.

September 3, 20223 yr Fuck, I love "Monkey Wrench". Absolutely my favorite Foos song, and Travis Barker is killing it. Watching them play with a guy like Barker VS Ulrich is hilarious. Shiflet, Smear they're totally grooving to Barker. With Ulrich they looked like they were in pain. Edited September 3, 20223 yr by jimmyjazz

Struts were playing some music festival and Hawkins saw them and went back stage to meet Luke...asked him if he knew any Queen. Luke said of course and Taylor asked him to come jam with them the next afternoon. The next night, Chevy Metal brought Luke on stage to sing some Queen songs. Taylor called Grohl the next day and said, "You need to come see this band." A month later, they became the Foo's opening act on their tour.

Very unexpected.
