DAVE GROHL PRAISES NEW DAVID BOWIE SONG, TALKS ABOUT HIS LOVE OF DISCO

By: 19 January 2013 6 Comments

Dave Grohl was interviewed on Marc Maron’s podcast and praised David Bowie’s new comeback single “Where Are We Now?” Grohl said, “The song is about Berlin and it’s heartbreaking dude.” He added, “I was playing it and our drummer Taylor said ‘Dude is he gonna die?’ It’s fucking the most beautiful thing you’ve heard in your entire life.” He ended the discussion by saying to the host, “You’ve got to hear it, it’s mind blowing.”

Grohl also discussed his newfound appreciation of disco. He said he didn’t listen to it much when he was younger and discussed the disco backlash, but said that he enjoys today, “I listen to disco now, and I’m like, well wait, what’s wrong with disco? I put it on in the morning when I make breakfast and the kids dance. Those drummers were amazing, those disco drummers were fucking amazing.” He added, “Disco’s great! What’s wrong with disco?” You can download the whole interview by clicking here.

    ‘Ode to Sad Disco’ is the only disco worth listening to.

    99% of disco is better than any alt music. File that under “too young gor the backlash”

    Bowie rules.

    Regarding drummers: spend some time listening to Blondie’s drummer and you’ll get what he means (no drum machine, no sampling, pure funky drummer action). Or if you want to go way back listen to some James Brown.
