Dave Grohl Your Take

[DLRdelight!]

What do all of you think about mr.Grohl. He is one of my idols because of all he has done. I think he is a talented musician. I mean what cant the guy play, he recorded the first hole foo fighters album by himself. I just think this guy kicks ass, Your Take?:cool

[Figs]

I think the Foo Fighters are great, my favorite current band. The Color and Shape is a fantastic album.

[DLRdelight!]

Yes i agreee, very great band, i thihk i like their first and third album more than the colour and shape, i saw them last year, great show

[Figs]

I really want to check them out. There was even a rumor of Grohl bringing the Atomic Punks along to open for him a couple of years ago.

[DLRdelight!]

That would be so bad ass, i have been wanting to check out the atomic punks for such a long time. The foos put on a hell of a show man ill tell you that much

[Dan]

Foo Fighters rock big time.Dave Grohl is amazing musician.

[DLRdelight!]

Yes he is, i love the way he plays drums, always goin crazy

[sambo]

I dig Mr Grohl/Fooeys, they rock. Saw them at the Big Day Out (Aust. Music Festival) a few years back as well, they blew everyone away..

great tunes, huge riffs and great songwriting, and they never overplay...

Everlong - still one of my favourite songs of the modern era.

[DLRdelight!]

I saw them last year of april at the universal amphitheatre and they rocked the fucking place. They left the stage n on the encore the guy who sings that "Yeah Whateva" song came out and played and dave was on drums, n then they continued playin more foo songs

[Rikk]

I like the FOOS a lot. Their new album was very good (COLOUR AND THE SHAPE is still my favorite).

But I have to say that I still highly prefer NIRVANA. I've loved them since '91, and they are still one of my favorite bands. Dave's drumming on the IN UTERO album is stellar and would do Bonham proud. In fact, that album has the best drum sound I've ever heard on any album. I mean it.

One more thing: I do like Alex Van Halen's drumming...but I still think Dave Grohl is a better drummer.

[DLRdelight!]

I think there is a lot more drumming skills in dave than what most people know. I bet if anyone was to hear him drum off he would blow their mind

Oh, he's great. It's not just the amazing Bonham-like sound of some of his beats...it's that he also knows when not to overplay.

But some of his beats are incredible. His drum intro on SCENTLESS APPRENTICE on IN UTERO is astounding. Anyone else know that cut?

Absolutely Rikk, saw Dave with Nirvana and he was fantastic..

[DLRdelight!]

Nirvana were great, I was very fortunate to see them in Australia. First Big Day Out in Sydney in 1992. Also there was The Hard Ons w/ Henry Rollins, Massappeal and Violent Femmes plus a stack of Aussie acts..

[Chaz Rock City]

I think everything Dave has done after Nirvana is killer. Not just the Foo Fighters. He also played drums on OOTSA's Songs For the Deaf, and Tenacious D cd.

[sambo]

Great drumming on QOTSA btw... good call..

[Rikk]

QOTSA last album is incredible. GOD IS IN THE RADIO is one of my favorite cuts...and Dave plays multiple drums on that one!

[freak]

Dave Grohl is a real musician. Nuff said.

[Warham]

Fantastic player, and great writer!

Love the FOOs

[Panamark]

Dave Grohl is great !

While not my favourites, (The Foo Fighters) you cant deny the
musicianship thats going down... Some very cool original riffs...

He/They are one of those bands that I dont go crazy over, yet
totally admire. No doubting the pure talent of the guy...

[DLRdelight!]

On their site it says that dave is doing the drums for nine inch nails next album

[sambo]

Now that would be cool.. that'd work...

[DLRdelight!]

wonder how it will turn out. What a lucky guy. He drops out of high shcool and has major success as a musician

[sambo]

Don't know, but I'd be very tempted to buy it.. maybe a listen at the record store first.. but it should be a safe bet.

[DLRdelight!]

yeah, did you check out the probot cd?

[sambo]

absolutely, I like it.. a bit different to what I would normally listen to but Lemmy and Max Cavalera are excellent value and was another reason I bought it

[Hecubus]

Dave Grohl....

The most talented member of Nirvana.

[DLRdelight!]

I agree with you there about the most talented. And yeah, that lemmy track rocks on probot

[HELLVIS]

DAVE GROHL IS THE SHIT OF THE SHIT.
I have everything he's done. He drums...he plays guitar....he sings...and oh my god, he writes better than just about anyone out there.
And if all that were not enough, there is always his very pro-Roth stance. I believe he coined the phrase,"There is no VH without Roth".

[Panamark]

That dave comment alone moves him up a notch in my books !
I think he is really cool. Good musician. I loved that song they
did recently, what was it called, Youre Everything Im Not ?
(Sorry if thats not the correct title) that had some great guitarwork
in it..

[BruinJer]

Nirvana is one of my all-time favorite bands... Dave was the brains behind the music and added that punk/metal influence that gave Nirvana their unique sound. Foo Fighters kick ass... love their stuff. I bought the "Probot" CD and I have to say, that is a great album. Some of my oldschool hard-core/death metal friends kind of gave it mixed reviews because it sounded too Nirvana-ish... that is the reason I LIKED it! It's Nirvana/Foo Fighters on 10! Great stuff!

[DLRdelight!]

This man is a living legend

Dude...thanks for reminding me. Gotta still pick that one up!

[DLRdelight!]

Has some pretty dope shit on there, well from my view

[Terry]

Dig Grohl.

Foos are great (agree with several other posts here about the Colour and The Shape......fantastic album).

Not quite sure about the comment that Dave was the brains behind Nirvana..........have always perceived Kurt Cobain as the alpha member in that band, but totally agree that Grohl is a great drummer and one of the reasons for that is knowing when not to overplay.

[PHOENIX]

Dave Grohl is cool in my book. I love his style of drumming.

[DLRdelight!]

I love how he always head banged on ever tyime he hit a symbol n puttin his heart to playin

in the early days dave was the reason nirvana got signed in the first place, and this is 100% true...the record company members notified his skills first

I saw the Foo's around 2 years ago now, and they rocked. After the support act finshed Van Halen 1 came on the monitors (the whole album). Then the Foo's hit the stage (opening with All My Life). What a night.
