Foo Fighters dedicate song to GNR @ RIR 4

[blues_rock_axeman]

My personal opinion is that Taylor and Dave should swap around in the Foo Fighters. Taylor has a killer voice which I prefer to Dave's, and Dave is a better drummer than Taylor (even though Taylor kicks ass at drums).

And their other guitar player Chris should go and reform his glam band  

[John Daniels]

I don't know about you guys but Foo Fighters is a kick ass band and Dave Grohl can compose/has composed great songs...

you shouldn't take Dave's shit talking too seriously..he and Axl have had a little crunch for each others for a long time..I think that on the bottom of Dave's heart he has a place for Axl too..'cause I believe that they both respect each others when it comes to the music.

Actually, Dave Grohl is a huge GnR fan from back when.  I remember reading a review that said at RIR3 (I think?) he was spazzing out at the side of the stage because he was seeing Axl live. But I dunno..


Edit: Found out it was in the issue of guitar one commemorating 15 years of AFD.
Found the quote on google but the website it's on is down.

exactly... Dave didnt insullt Axl or GnR... he just dedicated a song to him.. the lyrics mean nothing.. he just mentioned Axls name.... but too many people here think that if another band mentions his name its insullting....

fuck dave grohl!

the nirvana OBSESSION with axl and gnr continues...

[PeterCoffin]

Everyone's got to take everything to the heart.

Dave Grohl was either joking or just dedicating a song. Or maybe he even doesn't like Axl. Who cares?The guy is great. Just because someone isn't a fan of Axl doesn't mean they are a little bitch.

I personally like Dave Grohl.

[CryGirl]

I saw the whole thing on TV,  
`cause I`m from Lisbon and I found that pretty stupid: he spit after not playing too well the first notes for Sweet Child.
That guy is so ugly and he can`t even sing, only scream his balls off!Vomit!!!  

[just_one]

:rant:David Grohl is a fucking stupid asshole.He wasn't even a even a good drummer.He sucks dicks and is a no good piece of shit.

first of all is dave not david but anyway.....how old are u really? judging from your words u must be around 14/15 isnt?

To whoever pointed out that Dave's a huge GN'R fan - didn't he also go to Velvet Revolver's first show?

yes he did.

my guess here is that he's another GN'R fan that are fed up with Axl cancelling gigs and never manages to release a new album, and he jokes about it, like soo many people in here do as well. we're all GN'R fans even if we do it, right..?

[AxlFink]

the only band worse than nirvana is the foo fighters and the only band worse than foo is probot

fuck david grohl  

suck my fucking dick

id like to dedicate one in a million to him

[spiderman]

fuck david grohl

dave grohl would be nothing if it wasnt for cobain and has no place being mentioned on this page. although im a nirvana fan grohl sucks!!!! i mean.... he realy is cheese... ANYONE who works with that tenacious d is cheese, foo fighters suck dick, queens of the stone age too? man cant you just fuck off and leave us alone and probot?@! what the fuck was that? stick to drumming you waste of human tissue grohl will never be a rock icon like axl or cobain and thats a fact. god i hate grohl... if i ever met him id chin him and kick his arse.
that would be my worst nightmare if grohl joined guns n roses i dont think id be able to stomache that.

[jarmo]

As soon as Nirvana and/or Foo Fighters are mentioned, expect to see shit like some of the posts in this thread to appear.  

I guess the phrase "grow up" could be used in this case.

Does anyone have quotes attributed to Grohl that would lead someone to conclude he was/is a fan
of GNR?

I'd heard a few positive comments about AFD, nothing more.

And yes, he was at the first VR gig...

[AdZ]

There was a show called Headbangers Ball uncensored a while back that recapped the whole of the 1st headbangers ball era and he was on, saying how he saw WTTJ and thought it was amazing.  And the quote I already posted.

[SLCPUNK]

Some of you guys are total whack jobs about this thing...get a life and grow up. It's not that big of a deal.

[MadmanDan]

Chill out,guys!! What's the big fuckin deal?

There was another MTV retrospective in which Dave commented on a Pavement video featuring nasty skateboard injuries and saying it makes you want to throw up, "much like a Guns N' Roses video makes you want to throw up."  And then there was the taunting at the 1992 VMAs.  So its hard to gauge what Grohls opinion of the band is.  However, if its true that he dedicated "Stacked Actors" to Axl, he definitely wasnt dedicating it to Axl just to mention him, and it wasnt meant to be flattering.

[Freya]

What year was the Pavement comment?  Because he used to sneer at GnR during Nirvana days of course, but it seems he's become friends with Duff or something, I believe he was at the first VR show, so he doesn't do that anymore, but Axl is fair game I guess.  And of course his whole Probot thing, he's become more metal friendly, not that GnR are metal but you know what I mean.  

He always annoyed me, let's see if he really quits rock n' roll like he's been promising.  I love to see a "punk" eat his own words.

I remember the Pavement video comments as well.  Hardly flattering.  

I've followed Grohl's career since his days in Scream through Nirvana and still with the Foos, the only positive comment I can recall was a one off statement about AFD, that's it.  Nothing whatsoever denoting being a "fan" by any stretch of the imagination.
