In the press - gotta say, I don’t hear it at all … maybe drummers can comment: ‘This week Dave Grohl, who was in Nirvana with Love’s late husband Kurt Cobain, illustrated just how incongruous some musical inspiration can be when he said he was inspired by disco drummers when creating the sound on their most celebrated work.
“If you listen to [Nirvana’s 1991 album] Nevermind, I pulled so much stuff from the Gap Band and Cameo and [Chic’s] Tony Thompson on every one of those songs,” he told Pharrell Williams in an interview’Anything to promote sales of his disco album.....meh Funny how he has never mentioned that in numerous interviews and documentaries about Nevermind, one of the most discussed albums of the last 30 years, but then he mentions it suddenly when he has a crappy Bee Gees disco covers record due. There's absolutely nothing remotely disco or funky about any of the drumming on Nevermind and no trace of any influence. In the video he gives a nice example.  (And I also like the anecdote about mentioning it to Tony Thompson. ¨I know.") He did to be fair, but it was only four drum hits at the start of a song. Why he says he can't believe no one picks up on it, I don't know. Apart from hitting the drums hard, a rock staple, there's no noticeable influence on Nevermind. The example he gives is pretty generic. Um, Chad Channing and Dale Crover wrote most of the drum parts on Nevermind... Never let the truth get in the way of more more more publicity.:crazy: I read that interview yesterday, and thought to myself... if disco would have sounded like Nevermind, then disco wouldn't have been so monotonous and annoying as genre. :sigh: :shh: |

Does Dave Grohl understand Bobby Whitlock's significance?

Of course none of them hear it. They understand music as much as they understand women.

My final poat before I told Huffy to go fuck himself was in a thread regarding Ritchie Blackmore's favourite guitarists- to my surprise, given Blackmore's sickeningly racist "shoeshine music" comments in the past, I admit I was surprised Blackmore listed Albert Collins and Buddy Guy among his favourites, and said as much in my poat, which I expect to get Gorted in due course...

I don't think it's immediately obvious but once Grohl mentioned Tony Thompson, it made sense to me. What's the problem, or am I wrong for not still being mad about disco almost 50 fucking years later?

Every drummer of a certain age has that shit in their DNA, it was omnipresent.

Look at these sad sacks like Applebonkerz crying that an uber-rock guy like Grohl may have bought the single of "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" or had the Power Station cassette. What a bunch of losers.

Ah, yes. The end of a 15 hour work day. I come home, say goodnight to the family, settle in with the dog, and...SURPRISE! Fucktards talking out of their asses. Idk much about who wrote the "drum parts" to Nevermind, and I'm admittedly not the biggest Nirvana fan on earth, but I'm fairly sure the only trace of Channing OR Crover is the cymbal crash in Polly.
The wonders never cease.

Makes sense to me. Will it make sense to the SHites? Probably not. Are we sure sTEvE didn't have anything to do with the drum parts? |

What's the problem, or am I wrong for not still being mad about disco almost 50 fucking years later? "Nobody flies the rock flag anymore. There are no rockers" "Dave Grohl....." "Well, not him, he sucks". Admittedly I have finally given up on the Foos as the last album was horrific but poor Dave seems like such a good dude. Sir Thumbs Aloft can put out 900 versions of the same shitty album and they eat it up, but Dave shows up on an awards show or documentary and they lose their shit. |

Grunge is when I stopped following rock that closely. It sure did get samey for awhile there. Nothing against it, and I'd rather listen to Nirvana or the Screaming Trees than rjp's record collection.
Grohl loves what he loves and there is nothing wrong with that. SHiTEs are probably jealous of him because he gets to hang out with Whoppie.

Cobain was a huge fan of Public Enemy and Ice Cube.
