Soundtrack Chatter

welcome to the musical madness

Q: Who do you wish could have been in Sound City Movie that wasn't?
Grohl: I would have to say Pat Benatar. There weren't enough women in the Sound City movie and she's one of the greatest female rock singers of all time.
Q: How was working with Jack Black and Kyle Gass? Will you be working on more Tenacious D records with them in the future?
Grohl: So hard to play the drums when you're laughing hysterically and tears are rolling down you cheeks. Maybe the hardest gig ever. And: YES
Q: I know in "My Hero" you refer to the ordinary heroes out there, but was there any specific person, musical or not, who made you a significantly better man?
Grohl: I think my biggest musical hero growing up was probably Ian MacKaye he set a great example for all of us local musicians. still to this day i see him as the best example of a right-on musician.
Q: Dave, how unreal was it to jam with Paul [McCartney] the first time?
Grohl: The first time I jammed with Paul was at a stadium in Liverpool, I played Back in the USSR, Band on the Run, and I Saw Her Standing There and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
Q: Which one of your songs means the most to you and why?
Grohl: Probably "Walk" – which i wrote for my daughter as I was teaching her to walk.
Q: Do you think "Grunge" will ever make a comeback? If so what are your thoughts on that?
Grohl: If you mean loud ass guitars, loud ass drums, and screaming ass vocals? That never went away ding dong.
