Taylor Hawkins Talks About Grohl

Posted on 28th February 2009 by Adele in News - Tags:

Ever felt intimidated?  I wonder how Taylor Hawkins felt when he first started drumming in Foo Fighters with the ex-drummer for legendary Nirvana!!  I guess we will never know but Taylor has recenlty spoken about his relationship with Dave Grohl and their new album.

Taylor admits that Grohl is a drummer before he is a guitarist or singer and always will be. He often critics Taylor’s drumming style.

“He’s a complete control freak.  But he’s the nicest control freak you ever meet in your life. He tells me what to do but we work off each other as well. He’s a drummer first and foremost. He’s become a great singer and songwriter but he’s a drummer first. When we’re working together on music, not only do you have one drummer’s ideas but you have two of them coming from totally different places.”

Taylor has also advised that while theband are actively still working on a new album, they are also having a bit of a break from performing.

“We’ve gotten together and minced ideas already.  Just basic ideas and we’ll probably do that over the next year until we have a log of ideas. We’ll take our time and let everybody else enjoy other things — their families and stuff. I’d say maybe by summer we’ll get in the studio and start getting serious about a record.”

Talk About Rock Music says:  We cannot wait for a new album from Foo Fighters.  We are all big fans and would live to see them perform again.  We wish them good luck in making the new album and hope they enjoy their well earned rest.
