Mr. Shiflett is the most underrated member of the Foo Fighters. Yet, I suppose, that must be a real bonus for him because, as you heard Mr. Shiflett himself say - he walked across an entire field of a music festival to see Sinead O'connor (whom I have adored since Mandinka back in the day). Hands up, who thinks Mr. Grohl could get away with that? Then, Mr. Shiflett, without any problems of any sort, without any qualifications - said out loud to the entire world: I went to watch Sinead O'Connor & she was great. Again, hands up who thinks other "Rock Stars" would allow that to be said?
"I think your award show is fucked if he doesn't already have it" re Paul McCartney being "up" for a Lifetime Achievement Award - this may be my fave Foo interview
This is so great. Very educational, really. My favorite part is The Kings of Leon (and Van Helen) commentary at about the 9:00 mark. Priceless :) Being, in part, from Fairfax County, VA, Dave is my local hero.
😂 This interview is hilarious!! Commentary on some great acts, and drinking with rock stars. I’m glad Dave’s liver is a nuclear power plant! That means he’ll live a long time!! And lastly, I’m probably am the most British American woman I know, and I’ve met a lot of ppl in my line of work. Such a shame I never had a chance. 😅☺️😉 And a million award’s later, “Fuck awards…” Jäger bombs have inspired some incredible work. Keep it up, but take care of yourselves. Playing in the nude sounds like a great idea. 💡Cheers!!! 🍹And watch out for food poisoning. ☮️🎶🎸🥁❤️🔥 (I hope you never get hit by a car 🚙 by the way.)
Ha ha! Thank you for this comment......I giggled so much when I read this. I'm grieving the death of my dear Dad at the moment and this comment has made me laugh properly for the first time since he died.
Dave discovers that Paul McCartney has no Brit award is a high point of the love of music during the last few decades. Instantly reducing the whole institution to have exactly zero value with "Oasis got it before Paul McCartney????" and then getting seriously pissed off at the information about Spice Girls.... Pure gold. In fairness though, the first four winners were the Beatles (the Beatles 1977), the Beatles (John Lennon 1982), The Beatles (the Beatles, 1983) and the Beatles (George Martin 1984). So in a sense, the price started out as a comedy show.
I love how Grohl gets so pissed off about the Paul McCartney thing...and for good reason, too. Frankly, I don't really give a shit about the Beatles much, personally BUT that was hilarious-- dude is so fucking cool and has such mad respect, that he was so genuinely insulted for McCartney
They supported Hole in late 1991. I guess that might be the connection when Nirvana were in the UK in Nov 1991 as Kurt showed up to Hole’s gig in Wales where Daisy Chainsaw were supporting. Yes I’m a geek haha.
Talk about ask shit the boys have no idea about. Have you seen my local pub band?? Do you like their music??And weve got a bunch of shitty awards you've never heard of. Which one would you like to win??
This girl interviewing Dave and Chris has the personality of a stale breadstick. I’ve had DMV clerks with more charisma. Dave will say something hilarious and she just responds with “Hmmm… Fair enough”. Like COME ON LADY!
Fucking awkward interview!! Dave is making everything to make it fun but the interviewer doesn't catch a single joke... terrible interaction... Poor Dave and Chris
