Dave Grohl, the 3rd wheel and most un-appreciated part of Nirvana, talks about his recent success and his beginngs of the Foo Fighters, and upcoming things for fans of the Foo to look forward too, like a track with John Paul Jones, bass player and the arranger for most of Led Zepplin’s music, “We tracked him down, and I got on the phone with him. There’s a song on the acoustic record that needed Mellotron, and he’s the king. So I explained that to him — I tried not to gush and seem like a cheap whore. We talked for about forty-five minutes, and I hung up the phone and thought, “Holy shit. I can’t believe it!” I grew up worshipping Zeppelin like they were church. A couple of weeks later, he strolled in. He brought his mandolin.”. Grohl also provide’s a unique perspective into the life of Kurt Cobain, from the perspective of a drummer who never felt like he was a part of the band, regardless of his contributions. He also sheds some insight onto the habit’s and ego of the late Kurt Cobain. However, Dave Grohl remains humble amidst all of his success and his new album should be a quality one. “The Colour and the Shape” is one of the 90′s best Album’s and Dave Grohl will keep making hit’s if there is an audience. After releasing his new Album “In Your Honor” he had this to say, “There are some moments where you just feel so proud. Like being nominated for a Grammy for an album you made in your basement in Virginia with some friends over a keg. Going to the ceremony and seeing diamonds and money and limos and fucking icons of the industry, and walking away with Best Rock Album that you made for free in your basement. How much cooler does it get? I never thought that this band could be the biggest band in the world, but to see progression and growth, I feel like a proud parent. To fucking see your child grow up right, rather than becoming a crack whore, it’s pretty great.” That is a refreshing tone.
