What happened when Dave Grohl joined the band?
[We felt], “This is it.” Dave added so much more diversity. Not only did he have perfect metronome timing, he hit really hard. He was able to go in between all the dynamics that we wanted to experiment with. It was just perfect. Plus he sang backup vocals and I’d wanted that forever, ever since the beginning of the band. He’s always talking about all his band influences. Yeah, he’s really good at copying other drummers’ styles. He’s got his own original style, too, but he also can play a Led Zeppelin solo note for note perfectly. You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. He’s a great drummer.
