what the hell do you mean by that? you obviously don't know Grohl's background. he grew up on the east coast (virginia, i think) in hardcore, metal bands, before he flew to the west to become a legend in Nirvana, he was in a band called SCREAM. Don't dis the man... he's done a lot of good for the old metal community with the Probot project. Ya gotta give him credit for this project which took years to finish. He easily could have done another cd or 2 as the Foo Fighter during that time and sold millions, but he stayed with the project until it was complete. Seems like a cool honest guy to me, and I've enjoyed the majority of the Foo Fighters material... the first 2 releases are still among my favs. -------------------- yawn

I really dig the Probot album, pretty much the whole thing. Mixing a Kim Thayil guitar solo with King Diamond!? Who would think that would ever happen? Love it! I'd probably say the Tom Warrior track is the weakest of the bunch (unfortunately).As for Grohl... Schroeder pretty much summed up how I feel. I might also add that Grohl has pretty much added an element of heaviness and class to anything he has contributed drums to, just listen to the last Killing Joke album, fucking brrilliant! Looking forward to the new NIN as well. The metalheads against Nirvana/grunge backlash is so ill-founded it kinda pisses me off. It was hair-metal that hurt the scene in the early '90's, not these guys! I know, I grew up in this 'to-be-called-grunge' scene and everybody here that was listening to Nirvana, The Melvins, and Soundgarden, were all Celtic Frost, Voivod, and Slayer fans too. These's a funny interview out there with Grohl mentioning that Kurt Cobain somehow envisioned Nirvana as a cross between Sonic Youth and Celtic Frost. Heh! -------------------- I am a robot... bleep blop bloop

I'm with Blurrhog on this one. The fucking audacity of Dave Grohl to even think of recording a heavy metal album when it's fashionable!He should have waited a couple more years when everybody had moved on to 'punk' bands like Bad Religion and Good Charlotte etc. He might not have sold any records, but he'd have at least avoided the scalding 'lizard in a frying pan' disapproval of The Old School. (Not a fan of the Foo's, but he was very entertaining at Reading Festival with his goofy antics. The music itself was mid-satisfying in much the same way that watching a really good decorator put up wallpaper correctly is satisfying. Or drinking a plastic cup-full of mid-priced bottled water when you're not particularly thirsty.) -------------------- Der der der-der DER! Der der der-der DER! DER!

Thanks for backing me up on this one XD.Grunge certainly didn't kill metal. It was more metal than what a lot of the so-called metal bands were doing at the time. Grunge came along when a lot of metal bands were writting poor albums, and it was certainly a breath of fresh air. Granted there were a bunch of talentless "grunge" acts buty the great one were (and still are) great. I still enjoy most of the so called grunge records, but most bands they labled grunge, to me, were just great ROCK bands who wrote great music and lyrics. I HATE LABLES -------------------- yawn

I didn't buy it, I have it, I haven't listened to it, except the Snake song...I was curious...and I don't care either, NIA  Grunge? Besides the music, which you described perfectly, I remember it was also described as someone who wore jeans, flannel and Converse. I guess I was "grunge" at the height of Metaldom in the 80's. Oh holy hell, I'm still grunge
