Alex 38187 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) On 06/10/2017 at 19:01, Kid Dynamite said: He makes an appearance in the Foo Fighters documentary on Netflix. Dave Grohl is a legend. Although the time he re-recorded an entire albums worth of drum tracks behind his drummers back cos he was better was a bit nasty Expand On a similar note I was talking to mate of mine recently and we were on about this house party we were at and when someone had Ceefax ( ) up on the telly and it was announced that Kurt Cobain was dead. I think it probably had more impact than any other celebrity death on us lot because of our age, his popularity and how all of us there were into his music. I checked and it must've been the Easter holidays in my first year at university because it was 1994. I knew it was a good while ago but 23 years ffs. David Grohl still looks great, btw. Definitely aged better than Chris Novoselic anyway. Edited October 9, 2017 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 16906 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I only found out when the Journal came through the door the next morning. "ROCK STAR SHOT DEAD" was the headline iirc. Never ones to beat around the bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 38187 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 His transformation into wannabe hard man is one of the funniest things in the history of pop music.
