Respect to Dave Grohl....

[buzzbass]

So, you're @ the White House playing for the President and the Honoree of the night...... Sir Paul. The show format is folks covering songs from Paul's career. Dave whips out this little gem, and a bad*ss version at that. Imagine trying to play one of your hero's hit solo compositions for him, right there in the front row. Wow....

Cool. I still prefer the Spastic Phono Band's spoof cover "Banned In Japan"...

Of course, he’s backed by Macca’s band, that’s half the battle. What would be unnerving is to have him in your band…

 

[MonetBass]

Stevie sure enjoyed that, as did I. Herbie, not so much.

 

[5StringBlues]

Meh....

 

[Bob_Ross]

Yeah, I dunno... Grohl didn't seem to bring anything to that tune that wasn't already there. Kuddos to him for selecting such a fun number. But -- presuming Macca can still hit those high notes -- I would rather hear him fronting that same band (aka, his).

Abe Laboriel Jr is an absolute gem though!

You said exactly my thoughts even though I went with meh. especially about abe.

If anyone hasn't watched the documentary this song was written during go watch it! Sound City. Amazing music was written by so many amazing artists.

I wonder what that gig paid.

Exposure, man, exposure! Just look at who was in the room!

Just saw this earlier today. I always liked his playing; he seemed like he was having fun and he and Dave had good chemistry.

Man. Going to be tough for that band to continue.

I think that would be almost as big a tragedy. Dave is very picky about drummers since he is one and wants one who plays like he would, but I’d like to think Taylor would want the band to continue. A very sad happening.

Dave was already exposed by then but I guess he really doesn’t need the money. I was speaking more about the guys in Paul’s band who backed him up.

 

[Michedelic]

I’ll bet their salaries are quite agreeable. Hell, they played my local joint once, not bad for a bar band, and since I’ve seen a couple of decent Beatle tribute bands, I gotta say they did OK…

Dude, Dave is a class act.
