Sosso Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Foo Fighters leader Dave Grohl says his dream is to one day play drums with AC/DC. The musician was speaking with Forbesabout voting in today’s midterm elections in the US when he was asked who he’d love to play drums with if he could. Grohl responds: “AC/DC. That's my last one, that's it. Phil Rudd is back though. If you dive back into their back catalogue, that early shit, there was a little bit more dynamic, then they settled into the groove. “That's the thing. And it's because of Phil Rudd. It's AC/DC, but that guy holds the key.” Will Grohl get his chance behind the kit? It seems unlikely, given that Rudd was photographed earlier this year at Vancouver’s Warehouse Studios – the location where AC/DC have recorded their last three albums. While there’s been no official word from the camp regarding their current lineup of plans going forward, drummer Chris Slade – who joined the band on their Rock Or Bust world tour after Rudd was sacked in 2016 – gave his take on the rumours swirling around AC/DC earlier this week. https://www.loudersound.com/news/dave-grohl-i-want-to-play-drums-with-acdc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Personally I think he's a tad over rated as a drummer. There's definitely things he does well and he uses them to good effect. I'd fear that an AC/DC slot would demonstrate his lack of groove and pocket just like his slot with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers did 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendador Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 That would be a hell of a super group! Axl on vocals, Grohl on drums, Angus on guitar, maybe R. Waters on bass. Could you imagine that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought roger waters has to much of an ego to be in a band where other people are higher up the food chain, in terms of popularity then him.

Gavin82 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Says about Slade he only stepped in cos Rudd totally fucked it him self IF he had NOT got in too legal problems HE would have 100% been on the RoB full tour. DG also confirmed Rudds back in the band there is people well in the know & they saying its only a matter of time before we all know whats what its not been said in them exact words but you get the drift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I adore ACDC but both JPJ and Waters wouldnt fit with Angus a bit lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Mark Evans is the only logical choise for the open spot of the bassist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus wont hesitate to call slade quickly. Edited November 13, 2018 by Sydney Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) What if Grohl and Angus joined GNR. And Josh Homme produced the album. If time itself was his demeanor. Edited November 14, 2018 by wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRL I know people who worship his drumming. Him, Travis Baker and some others all play with exaggerated movements (read: poor technique) and hit hard, which to some equals drummer greatness. Like I said in my post, I think hes good at what he does. But groove is not how he applies himself to the skins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvanG Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) A lot of people consider Grohl the best drummer in rock. He's a good drummer and all, maybe even better than your average drummer out there, but I think a lot of people say this because they don't know what they're talking about and because Grohl is a likeable guy who played in Nirvana.
