Guitarists Pat Smear and Chris Shiflett and bassist Nate Mendel talk about what it’s like to be a Foo Fighter as the band celebrates their 20th anniversary. Watch Anderson Cooper's full report: cbsn.ws/1DR7wjI
So nice being able to see an interview with the other 3 members of the band. Most of the interviews are usually just Dave and Taylor. I love watching their interviews but I also want interviews with Nate, Chris and Pat.
I met these three guys once in Cleveland, they were all sitting around a TV talking about music. and I gotta tell ya they are all pretty fun loving, nice guys.
seriously some legendary dudes sitting here. if it weren't for pat smear & the rest of the germs, underground/DIY would be totally different. and of course nate & the lads in sunny day real estate were groundbreaking for so many other bands to come after them. the individuals in the foo's don't get enough credit for their groundbreaking & highly influential work pre-foo
Javier Jesús Saavedra Alcántara i'm aware. i wasn't trying to discredit chris or anything. but i mentioned pat and nate especially, because they were founding members of the bands that i spoke of
@@behindthewallsleepin he's just a very reserved person, doesn't often talk in interviews and rarely smiles or laughs (which says a lot since he's in a band with Dave Grohl)
No Use For A Name and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes were HUGE in the 90s punk scene. Honestly there are probably more people who would recognize one of their songs than any Germs song. The Germs were undoubtedly great and iconic but I wouldn't call them well known to the average person. Any kid growing up in the 90s buying punk compilations knows Chris's bands. Sunny Day Real Estate was also a huge part of the early Emo scene. All 3 have been in really iconic bands.
Well I like them. But when you compare being a small indie emo band that can only fill a movie theater size venue to the fucking foo fighters selling out football stadiums...
I had the privilege of meeting Kurt in 1998, we talked for about 3 and a have hours about being on tour. I wanted to ask about Courtney but i didnt want him to think about her, we went back to my hotel and did the devils tango.... I have never told anyine this!! DO NOT TELL CORTNEY OR FRANCES OR DAVE you can tell Krist because he was there. 🤭🍆🥛
Sunny Day Real Estate and Jeremy Enigk have written many better songs than The Foo Fighters. See Cannons by Jeremy Enigk. The Ocean, J'Nuh, the whole How It Feels To Be Something On record, 47, One, Tearing In My Heart.... so much more real emotion.
you could have just said SDRE and anyone could have listened to any one of their songs and it would be better than 90% of what the Foo Fighters have released in the past 20 years
My three favorite people from the Foo Fighters together. As much as I like Dave, I like that he's not here to dominate the discussion. Gives them a chance to actually talk. I have a picture of Pat on my wall near my guitars, because he's truly one of my guitar heroes. All three of these guys are incredible in their own way.
