Len Cnut Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Incredible what 30 odd years can do to a man eh, I mean there’s young Davey Grohl in 91, hip as you like, brimming with punk rock ideals and all that...cut to 2019 and he’s like the Barry Manilow of the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but he always liked metal as well. And I don't think he ever got bored of it like Kurt got bored with classic rock. (even if Kurt was influenced by Black Sabbath) So Dave did a song with a Beatle but made an album with the bassist of Zeppelin. He always had the potential to become the Barry Manilow of rock imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvanG Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Dave went from a shy person to very outgoing... now he spends half of the Foo Fighters shows telling stories and screaming at the crowd. Such a contrast to this guy, Quote I'm not the most vocal person in the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a contrast to this guy, But was he? shy I mean. Maybe he was just camera shy in interviews or shy in certain situations. As he gained more experience he could have felt more comfortable and confident reflecting who he really was. (a knucklehead) he just doesn't strike me as an introvert or particularly shy person even then but maybe you're right, idk.

Never met him in person, but maybe shy isn't the right word, he was always a bit of a goofball and that hasn't changed. But when you look at interviews during his Nirvana days and now, you see a world of difference. Back then he wasn't very talkative but now his bandmates hardly get a word in because he does all the talking, but it's only normal that he's more confident and he's in a very different situation now obviously. He's the frontman and it's his band, while in Nirvana he knew his place because he was drummer #4 or 5 and there was a lot of tension in the band, especially later on. Kurt wasn't too happy with Dave's drumming anymore at the end, and Dave knew about that. And in the beginning of the Foo Fighters you could tell he felt quite awkward having to be the frontman and uncomfortable not being able to hide behind his drums like he did before. But now he's the ultimate frontman, very talkative and always getting the crowd pumped up with every song, and that's basically what I meant.

Mendez Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) I love the Foo Fighters. Simple, bur catchy radio rock. Except for their latest album, the one tries a little more to be artistically interesting and I appreciate it more, even if it does fall a bit short. To be fair I like 2000-2019 pop music as well so thats likely why Im not so bothered with the simplicity of it, even if i do enjoy more complex songs as well Edited November 12, 2019 by Mendez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Boy Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I thought this thread was going to be about eradicating the Foo Fighters, I'd be down with that I've never seen the appeal, it's pretty bland bubblegum rock That said, I've not listened to their whole catalogue, maybe there are gems. But I'm guessing it's just ten albums of the same radio friendly unit shifters (hat har) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Boy Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Why wasn't Cobain happy with Grohls drumming though? It was pretty awesome. Maybe he caught wind of Grohl's hankering to be frontman of a mega big pop rock band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget that he was really young when Nevermind happened, like, only 22 years old and already in the most popular band of that moment. People change.

Such a contrast to this guy, No doubt, just the opposite of Axl. He used to spend half the show bitching about whatever now he hardly speaks at all.
