August 2, 20241 yr Just now, Beau Vine said: I've never really liked the Pretenders. I feel like I've never really known you.
August 2, 20241 yr Just found out a couple of friends are heading to that show tomorrow. Kind of wish I were in Denver now.
August 3, 20241 yr Saw them in Cincinnati last week. Foos delivered as always. Nice to say I've seen the Pretenders in person. Didn't make it in time for Wolfgang. Worth the drive from Nashville.
August 4, 20241 yr "Holy shit, it's beautiful as fuck out here right now!" -- Dave He kept remarking that this was the largest US crowd they've ever played for, which seemed hard to believe. His other great line was, encouraging people to sing along, he said, "If you don't know the words, just look over at the 55-year old guy who's sitting next to you and do what he does." Edited August 4, 20241 yr by Beau Vine
August 9, 20241 yr LOL . . . I didn't realize that was the drummer kid they befriended. I kept thinking "why does a pro saxophone player have such sketchy intonation?" Because, not a pro, a kid. Well done.
September 10, 20241 yr LOS ANGELES — Iconic rocker Dave Grohl announced the birth of a daughter outside of his marriage on social media Tuesday afternoon.

September 10, 20241 yr He's got another confession to make. But seriously, it's pretty shocking he didn't have a vasectomy, right?
September 10, 20241 yr When you are a celebrity you can just grab them by the pussy and they let you.
September 10, 20241 yr damn dude can't catch a break and had another daughter. All he wants is a son man!

To me, the funniest part of this is that how he still manages to totally Dave Grohl the whole thing. "Yeah, I fucked up, but I'm totally gonna try and do the right now" and you kinda believe him. Also kind of amazed in this day and age that these dalliances weren't a little more leaked.

Gonna need some links to go down this rabbit hole please
January 16Jan 16 we all know that Dave fucked up royally, but he's still a good guy. He spent his 56th birthday on the streets of L.A. cooking for fire victims. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/dave-grohl-volunteers-birthday-feed-l-a-fires-victims-1235228452/

May 15May 15 Reddit says Ed Sheerin has a song on the F-1 movie soundtrack. with Meyer on guitar, Dave on drums.
May 16May 16 Yeah, I knew from that first rehearsal video he was not the guy. I mentioned it here. I like him in the right context, but he's too punk rock and not enough classic rock for the Foos, which is ironic given the backgrounds of Grohl, Smear, and Shiflett, but hey, there you go.
May 16May 16 i'm sure the fact that he can go drum for 100 other different bands made the decision a lot easier. wouldn't be surprised if they've had someone else in mind the whole time, but freese was there and able to learn the songs quick because of his freelance experience.

May 16May 16 It's time for the guy from Styx?Sucherman is a great follow if you enjoy drum cams like I do. His flow around the kit is always cool to see

Taylor was his soul brother IMO. my guess is they go through drummers every 3 or 4 years until Dave decides to hang it up. And considering Dave is a drummer, any drummer that takes the gig better be ready to get fired.

And like you said, with Dave already being one of the best drummers, it was already fraught for any drummer, but now add Taylor’s death and it takes it to another level.

Kenny Jones did an admirable job replacing Moon. he probably lasted the time he did because Townshend and Daltrey likely happy just to have someone stable on the kit.

May 18May 18 I think Travis Barker should get a shot. The usual names -- Danny Carey, Chad Smith, Matt Cameron -- are all quite a bit older than Dave. They might give Taylor Hawkins' kid a look, or maybe someone out of left field like Stanton Moore (Galactic). Jimmy Chamberlin would be unreal, but Billy Corgan would have him murdered, so that's a non-starter. Roger Taylor's kid seemed pretty good when he sat in with them. Tough call. It will probably be some unknown.

I would think most people would go easy on him, but if he wants to be a pro drummer (and I have no idea if that's even true) he's always going to be compared to his dad. See for instance Jason Bonham and Zak Starkey.

See for instance Jason Bonham and Zak Starkey. That's the least of my concern. It's the negative impact on his life. Look what it did to his dad. He totally should be a drummer if he wants, just not in the Foo Fighters. Jason and Zak are prime examples how to go about it, wonderful careers in great bands.
