    Young Dave Grohl and old Dave Grohl are both so awesome in their own way. I wish there were more interviews from this era of Foo Fighters

    This is like the golden age of Australian broadcasting, when people were allowed to look and dress however they liked

      however Dylan was always a total cringe-inducing dick.

      But I’m honestly happy as to how people were allowed to look. We need that more these days, to be yourself and not be ridiculed or casted

      @fincarosa 4 года назад +1

      Yeah and who cares? Artists can be complete dicks in interviews, like Billy Joe was. Many of the artists on Recovery (live on Sunday mornings) had played and partied the Sat night before and were f*d up and without sleep on the show and behaved accordingly. Dylan is quirky and much loved. Check out his other interview with Dave Grohl at a music festival they get along great.

    GeeZ pretty sloppy interview. Dylan wanted to be a music star himself but it never really happened. Overall Recovery was fun but what a missed opportunity to do an awesome interview.

  • @nymets9559
    @nymets9559 7 лет назад +4

    The "English" RAF aye? 🤔
    Pretty sure the thousands of Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish service personnel would have something to say about that.
    Funny how most Europeans can name most U.S states but Americans don't know the very basics of pretty much any other country.
    I like Dave Grohl btw

    • @Agent_Riot-2000
      @Agent_Riot-2000 6 лет назад +1

      Nah you are being a little bit over-serious xD. It is not only he, or americans. In other countries you can also see people calling the british as ''english''. Of course, that's because not everyone know properly about british historical matters... So for the rest, or almost the average of the planet british = english. No doubt Dave Grohl, a musician and not necessarily historian, falls into that description. Well, thankfully, internet have made it easier for people to know about certain things. But back then, were Internet was much more limited than today, stereotyping or falling into inaccuracies was much more common than today.

      An interviewers job is not to show off how much he knows about the band, it's to get the band to say something interesting for the audience, the majority of which would not know the in-depth history of the Foos.
