The Grohl story...

[Bro Hammer]

Anybody see this shit yet? Total bullshit. I hate headlines like this and this one just really pisses me off.

Yeah, that's total bullshit. Fortunately the commenters seem to understand Buzzo and disagree with the headline.
(I guess people on this site still have some brain left in their head, unlike, say, Alternative Nation)
I hate how the most news coverage and attention Buzzo usually attracts when he says something about Cobain or Metallica or other "rock stars" or whatever, and people get OFFENDED.
So it's pretty much like all those blogs and sites and other news sources always try to portray him as a dick and a "jealous" cranky old man.
Such kind of misunderstanding really pisses me off.

How much of these shows are turning into a standup comedy/spoken word thing ?  I could listen to Buzz yap on and on for hours.  Great stuff.  I cracked up at the part about having his own shark story.

MUUUUDSHAAAAAAARK !!

Eh. You know what they say....there is no such thing as bad press.

The guys at Metal Sucks are just looking to write an article. And personally, I think it's kind of funny.

Out of the hour he was onstage at Grumpy's, I bet there was 10 minutes of talking. He's a great storyteller.

I'll take the stage banter, but not if it takes away from the total amount of music that they play. I think the shows where Buzz said anything were the longest shows that I attended, anyway. Stag, Maggot, Melvins Lite headlining tours.

They've written four or five on Danzig doing basic household things alone.

I would pay to see that muscle bound freak clean his house!

Ohhhhhhh, I know.  I did a Danzig art installation a few years ago and they wrote about that, too.
I think they have a radar on the guy.

IT'S NOT FUNNY! (there isn't a pouting icon so pretend there's one right here.)

See this is more like it!

Well ... AT WORST, that story sounded less like a dig at Grohl and more like a dig at Josh Homme (and possibly Alain Johannes for some reason), but I'm not even sure that it's that. It really sounds more like Buzz making fun of his own momentary lapse in self-possession. I can totally relate to that situation where you don't mean to sound dismissive of someone's attempt to be nice but still somehow do. I should have the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme on my phone for those sorts of moments.

I hope things between him and Dave have since been smoothed over. Grohl does seem like a standup dude. Scuttlebutt had it that he was at the Pissed Jeans show I went to a couple weeks back, so at the very least he has good taste.

Agreed. It is a bit rude to turn down an old friends request to attend a show they are putting on for a baseball game.  I think Buzz is acknowledging how he screwed up Dave's attempt to reconnect.

I didn't think Buzz sounded like sour grapes whilst telling the story. I also do not think he was being rude.

I do, however, think he has a great sense of humor (and from what I understand, a mad passion for baseball). 


I was never really for or against Grohl but loved his appearance in the Lemmy documentary.
