LED ZEPPELIN Bassist To Perform With FOO FIGHTERS At GRAMMY AWARDS
- Jan. 28, 2008
|
|
|
LED ZEPPELIN's legendary multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones will arrange a special orchestral version of the FOO FIGHTERS' hit single "The Pretender" and will serve as special guest conductor of the FOO FIGHTERS' orchestra as part of this year's My Grammy Moment, produced in partnership with YouTube and CBS.com. The segment gives up to 20 unsigned musicians the opportunity to play with the rock group as part of the orchestra conducted by Jones.
"We're participating in 'My Grammy Moment' because it creates opportunities; opportunities to write, compose, play and study music — skills that absolutely need to be passed on to generations to come," said Dave Grohl of the FOO FIGHTERS. "And thanks to 'My Grammy Moment', musicians from this next generation have the chance to play with us at the Grammys as part of our orchestra."
The 50th annual Grammy Awards will be held February 10 at Los Angeles' Staples Center.

are evidently buds. Cool I guess, although I'm NOT a Foo Fighters fan @ all. I kinda miss Nirvana actually. I know, I can't believe I just said that either...anyway, JPJ rocks.

didn't think of that one. Good thought. He would be a great drummer for them if Jason can't do it.

The only way Drave Grohl plays for Zep is if Bonham loses an arm in an auto wreck. Come to think of it, probably not even then, cause the last one-armed British drumm I saw was pretty damn good. Seriously, Bonham is a member of Led Zeppelin. He will be the only drummer for them. Besides, it's not like Foreigner is any kind of big deal anymore. But I would agree that Grohl is a phenomenal drummer, and is a phenomenal dude. Other then when I almost kicked his ass about 20 years ago at Monsters Of Rock in D.C. for being a dumbass. But we were all kids then.

Two bands that suck? Seriously? I can kind of understand you thinking that about the Foo Fighters... but the mighty Led Zep, that's just deranged.
