What are you listening to? Part III

This one reminds me of a girl I knew few years back - never worked out sadly so a bit of a pang listening to this.


The singer Darren Hayes actually wrote this about a dream boy he fell in love with, no a boy he met in his dreams at night.

So I saw a clip of Dave Grohl talking to Pharrell Williams about drumming, and Pharrell kept going off about how he thinks that Grohl is a legend on drums. Finally, Grohl had enough and told him to stop saying that, because he wasn't. In fact, here's the video:


In short, Grunge got its biggest influence from Disco and Funk.

Now, I still think Nirvana is one of the worst bands to hit the music scene as they set back any type of virtuous playing in the USA by a good 20 years compared to Europe and Asia, but I have a bit more respect for Nirvana from what Grohl did here.

With that, I think Grohl is a great guy. Very humble and loves to pay respect to what got him to where he is, and now that the Foo Fighters are at that level that they can do what they want because they can, They just put out a cover of the Bee Gee's You Should Be Dancing..

And funnily enough, it sounds good.. So now with Weezer and Imagine Dragons covering 80s song, and Foo Fighters going 70s (they're putting out an entire album of disco covers), I wonder what's next..

Have fun. My personal view is the quality decreases the further you get, particularly after Gabriel departs.

Thanks! I feel Collins and Gabriel both have their strengths but I am a huge fan of the latter, both in his solo stuff and his work with others. It does seem to take the band a little time to come into their own when Collins takes over as lead vocalist.
