  • Dave Grohl: Lorde's 'Royals' a 'Revolution in a Sea of Bulls--t,' Slams Pop Music

    Dave Grohl established that he was a fan of Lorde earlier this year, and he even invited the New Zealand singer to perform with Nirvana at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in April. The Foo Fighters frontman continued to praise the singer-songwriter in a new interview, especially her "Pure Heroine" hit "Royals." In an interview with the Red Bulletin, Grohl talked about why he and Krist Novoselic chose to perform with female lead vocalists for their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performance. "Because Kurt was a feminist," he said about the band's deceased leader, Kurt Cobain. "And someone suggested Joan Jett. I mean, Joan Jett, she's the first lady of rock 'n' roll. She's the one. Then it was like, 'What about Kim Gordon?' She and Kurt were great friends, they loved each other and Sonic Youth were our heroes. 'Yeah, let's get Kim.'" "Lorde was my idea," he added about the pop singer who performed "All Apologies" with the band. "Her song 'Royals' is its own little revolution in the sea of bulls--t." Grohl went on to call today's pop music "superficial" and "devoid of meaning."

In a recent interview with "Rolling Stone's" Brian Hiatt, Lorde talked about her many adventures in music, which included a tour stop in her native New Zealand last month.

  • Dave Grohl Says Bands Performing Old Albums 'Lazy,' Considers Re-Recording Foo Fighters's Debut Album

    Dave Grohl has long been a champion for authenticity in music, famously using his 2012 Grammy speech to celebrate "the human element of music," and in a recent "NME" interview, the Foo Fighters frontman was at it again, denouncing the recent trend of bands going on nostalgia tours to perform their old albums in full. "F--k, man! I don't like it when a band's tour is just to play one past record," Grohl vented to "NME." "I f--king hate that. I don't like it when bands do that. It's presumptuous. It's lazy." The topic of these nostalgia tours came up when Grohl was discussing the Foo Fighters's plans for their upcoming 20th anniversary, which at one point included a re-recording of the band's self-titled 1995 debut album, which Grohl originally recorded by himself in a matter of days.
