Where's My Teeth? - Grammy’s Make Me Feel Old
Dec. 5, 2008 – I remember when the Grammy’s meant something to me. When I actually cheered in front of the TV when someone, I cared about, won a trophy. Last year I endured a pretentious Alicia Keys singing with a very dead Frank Sinatra and Beyonce, who I barely consider an actual musician, trying to make the Tina Turner tribute all about her. More

Foo Fighters Dave Grohl to Guest on Prodigy Album
Nov. 10, 2008 – Dave Grohl is teaming up with Prodigy again. The Foo Fighters lead singer and guitarist will make a special appearance on Prodigy’s new ‘Invaders Must Die’ album to be released in 2009.

Prodigy songwriter and producer Liam Howlett says the union was quite easy, "Dave emailed us to see what we were up to and offered his services. It was really inspiring."

Howlett warns that the track featuring Grohl, ‘Run With the Wolves’ is pretty heavy stuff, "It's definitely the most venomous track on the album. Keith (Flint) really goes for it on lead vocals. It's wicked."

Foo Fighter toured with the harder edged dance band in 1997 on their ‘Fat of the Land’ tour.

Welcome to Dave Grohl Alley
Oct. 15, 2008 – He’s known as the nicest chronic-gum-chewing guy in Rock N’ Roll and now he’s getting a street named after him. Dave Grohl is being honored by his home town of Warren, Ohio as they switch Markey Alley to Dave Grohl Alley. It’s all part of a successful campaign orchestrated by Warren police sargeant Joe O'Grady and radio DJ Fast Freddie via a huge petition. City council did have concerns that name change would cost lots of money but it still passed unanimously. Duh, here’s a guys who was the drummer of one of the most trend setting bands in history of music, Nirvana and now continues to be very relevant with his own group, the Foo Fighters.

The city says the switch will come with a big celebration and they hope Grohl will attend. Do you think his waiver will ask for lots of Juicy Fruit? He grew up in Warren and still has lots of family there
   
Now, more people can mispronounce his name and get lost at the same time. – by John Beaudin

Foo Fighters, Fighting Mad at John McCain
Oct. 9, 2008 - I finally know what Presidential hopeful, John McCain does in his spare time – He rocks to the Foo Fighters. Yeah right! The band says they’re not interested in having the aging politician as a fan and especially mad that he used their song ‘My Hero’ in McCain’s campaign. Jackson Browne has sued McCain over the same thing and Ann and Nancy Wilson were pissed when the Republicans used the Heart tune ‘Barracuda’ at a recent rally.

The problem lies in McCain not asking for permission to use the song, not that he would get it anyway. The Republicans are still trying to sort out the problem of using Browne’s ‘Running on Empty’ without asking.

The Foo Fighters released this statement, "It's frustrating and infuriating that someone who claims to speak for the American people would repeatedly show such little respect for creativity and intellectual property," the band says in a statement. "The saddest thing about this is that 'My Hero' was written as a celebration of the common man and his extraordinary potential. To have it appropriated without our knowledge and used in a manner that perverts the original sentiment of the lyric just tarnishes the song." In other words John McCain is no righteous dude.

Recently Foo Fighters leader Dave Grohl told BBC Radio 1 that the band was taking a long break and not to expect any new music in a while. He did promise that the band would come back with a new sense of purpose.   – by John Beaudin

Paul McCartney and Foo Fighters Dave Grohl Together!
May 30, 2008 - Can this get any better? On Sunday, Paul McCartney is set to play in his hometown at Liverpool FC's Anfield stadium. Sir Paul says playing to the folks that really know him is always special and Foo Fighters Dave Grohl will play a new tune with the famous Beatle. Remember we all loved John Lennon's primal screams that gave the Beatles a real edge but Paul was also a rocker and this could be the start of something bigger. These two guys will probably sound fantastic together. Stay tuned.
