  • Tower Records Doc 'All Things Must Pass' Features Dave Grohl, Elton John

Tower Records was one of the biggest music chains around from 1960 to 2000, and many famous musicians have an attachment to the store.

The director talked about the film, which took so long to make because of funding issues, prior to a screening. He mentioned two big music names -- Elton John and Dave Grohl -- as supporters of the record store, 'Billboard' noted. Slash also appeared in the film.

  • NME Ranks Best Beatles Songs with Panel of Stars; Dave Grohl, Pete Townshend and More Voted...What Won?

    "The Best Beatles Songs" is a poll that you won't see Music Times touching with a ten-foot pole. One factor is laziness: There are just so many hits from the band...sorting them would be a nightmare.

  • Why Does 'Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck' Lack Commentary from Dave Grohl? Director Brett Morgen Explains
