There’s one last band Dave Grohl wants to drum for
Besides playing drums in Mission Impossible and Nirvana, Grohl handled percussion on the first two Foo Fighters albums, you’d think that Dave Grohl maybe got his fill of the drum stool. But no.
When asked by Forbes journalist Steve Baltin about his “dream person to play drums for,” the rock Renaissance man doesn’t hesitate with his answer.
“AC/DC,” says Grohl unequivocally. “That’s my last one, that’s it. Phil Rudd is back though. If you dive back into their back catalog, that early s**t, there was a little bit more dynamic, then they settled into the groove. That’s the thing.”
In other corners of Dave Grohl’s world, the musician will perform the 23-minute instrumental song he wrote and recorded for mini-doc Play at this December’s Warren Haynes’ Christmas Jam in North Carolina.
