Hey everybody so the Foo Fighters were on
the Howard Stern show this morning.
I just finished listening to the interview
and I just wanted to run down some interesting
stuff from the interview so
Dave first and foremost he's actually a pretty
big fan of Psy.
Remember that korean rapper from a couple
of years ago.
He's a pretty big fan of Gangnam Style and
he attributed that of course his kids musical
taste and he also claimed he wasn't a musical
snob.
One of the most interesting things from the
interview was that when he wrote the song
Everlong he was going through a divorce with
his first wife and apparently all his assets
were frozen and he was basically homeless
and he was crashing at a friends pad and I
guess that's normal process to have your assets
frozen when they're divying up who gets what.
When he wrote the song My Hero, the chorus
in the actual song was just temporary lyrics
he wrote because he had done the drums, he
had done the guitar and he wanted to at least
hear what the vocals would sound like so he
basically did the melody and he was going
to change the lyrics after wards, but once
he showed it to the band they actually liked
the lyrics and they just said keep it.
The other thing is that they did play two
songs in the studio.
They played Learn to Fly from their third
album.and they also played their new single
Something from Nothing which is off Sonic
Highways.
He attributed that David Letterman was partially
responsible for the HBO series saying that
he talked to Dave's producer Rob Burnett and
basically Dave made some phone calls to the
people at HBO and was able to set them up
and actually get their show produced and help
them with that.
The interesting thing is that the production
costs for the HBO show were so expensive because
they had like a 15 person crew, but because
just like everybody who has a credit card
the Foo Fighters have a band credit card that
accumulates points when they travel and they
paid for a lot of their production costs that
way for hotel rooms and travel and of course
they talked a bit about Courtney Love and
how they are now friends.
Although the story of them going to a strip
club is not true.
I guess that was printed in the tabloids
And i think the last part of the interview
was probably the most interesting.
Most of the interview Howard was talking to
Dave, but their keyboardist Rami Jaffee who
I guess used to play in the Wallflowers.
He had some pretty bad things to say about
Jacob Dillon how he doesn't want to tour and
how he's lazy and it sort of escalated a little
bit from there.
But overall it was a really good interview.
