Krist Novoselic's Love Letter To Dave Grohl...

Seattle Weekly | Read Full Story >

Something dawned on me when I was reading Sunday’s New York Times: Dave Grohl is the greatest rock musician in the world today. Don’t believe me? The man is dominating November music releases. Here we go: Nirvana’s Reading DVD, Foo Fighters’ Greatest Hits, and new work with Them Crooked Vultures….I remember going to the airport and picking this dude up. He was easygoing—just like some guy named Paul McCartney told the Times. He brought up his drum set—a yellow TAMA with a 26” kick. The man understood John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) and Dale Crover (the Melvins), and this kick proved it. We wasted no time and rehearsed the next day. I knew Dave was coming, so beforehand I’d found a rehearsal place in Tacoma’s north end….For me, the years 1990 to 1994 seem like 10 years. So much went on, and of course so much went wrong. But life went on after Nirvana. I love the Foo Fighters. Dave kept that work ethic and focus, and that’s why he’s the greatest rock musician in the world today.
