Post by: Eeebs on May 30, 2004, 10:32:42 PM
Haha.  I just read this over at the GnR Bar, and just *had* to repost it over here :)  Gotta love David Grohl.

In any case, thanks goes out to Eduardo Paiva for postin this little tidbit.

I just read in the RIR site that FF dedicated the song Stacked Actors to GNR.. Well heres one bit from the lyrics:

"Yeah, but what do you do?
When you're just another aging drag queen?"

Here are the complete lyrics, for those interested...

Stacked Actors

Verse 1
Oh mirror mirror
You're coming in clear
I'm finally somewhere in between
I'm impressed
What a beautiful chest
I never meant to make a big scene

Will you resign to the latest design
You look so messy when you dress up in dreams
One more for hire
Or wonderful liar?
I think its time we all should come clean

Chorus
Stack dead actors
Stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards
All I want is the truth

Hey hey now, can you fake it?
Can you make it look like we want?
Hey hey now, can you take it?
And we cry when they all die blonde?

Verse 2
God bless, what a sensitive mess
Yeah but things aren't always what they seem
Your teary eyes
Your famous disguise
Never knowing who to believe

See through
Yeah, but what do you do?
When you're just another aging drag queen?

Chorus

Dave Grohl? Isn't that the guy who used to be good when he was playing DRUMS in a band called NIRVANA, ten years ago?

You know your right  ;)

 ;)

I'd say he's still pretty good, he releases great records, has hit singles and tours his ass off.  

Not a bad second act for a guy who's already secured his legacy in rock history..

And for the record, the song is widely credited as an ode to Courtney Love...

Grohl's a funny fucker...

Really don't.  I don't care what his feelings on Axl are, he's annoying.  And he looks like Bob Seger this days.  

The lyrics are about Courtney huh, popular girl, they don't make a lick of sense to me.

Axl could have shown up with his band if he wanted to...  

Just coz he had a song dedicated to him doesnt mean it was an insult... maybe Grohl just wanted to mention Axl..

Dave Grohl is a damn good drummer and so what if he mentioned another band... it happens all the time in Rock n Roll...

 There is a very funny and kicking ass song for Kurt and Nirvana that makes Nirvana look like loosers. Well, they don't look like they are, in fact.  But the song is not in English. I remembered it now.  ;D
 About David Grohl, he sucks. He's such an idiot that it's not worth talking about him. I think that Axl will respond somewhere telling the looser one, two things like GET IN THE RING.

Post by: blues_rock_axeman on May 31, 2004, 07:46:12 AM
My personal opinion is that Taylor and Dave should swap around in the Foo Fighters. Taylor has a killer voice which I prefer to Dave's, and Dave is a better drummer than Taylor (even though Taylor kicks ass at drums).

And their other guitar player Chris should go and reform his glam band  ;D

I don't know about you guys but Foo Fighters is a kick ass band and Dave Grohl can compose/has composed great songs...

you shouldn't take Dave's shit talking too seriously..he and Axl have had a little crunch for each others for a long time..I think that on the bottom of Dave's heart he has a place for Axl too..'cause I believe that they both respect each others when it comes to the music.

Actually, Dave Grohl is a huge GnR fan from back when.  I remember reading a review that said at RIR3 (I think?) he was spazzing out at the side of the stage because he was seeing Axl live. But I dunno..


Edit: Found out it was in the issue of guitar one commemorating 15 years of AFD.
Found the quote on google but the website it's on is down.

Everyone's got to take everything to the heart.

Dave Grohl was either joking or just dedicating a song. Or maybe he even doesn't like Axl. Who cares?The guy is great. Just because someone isn't a fan of Axl doesn't mean they are a little bitch.

I personally like Dave Grohl.

yes he did.

my guess here is that he's another GN'R fan that are fed up with Axl cancelling gigs and never manages to release a new album, and he jokes about it, like soo many people in here do as well. we're all GN'R fans even if we do it, right..?

Does anyone have quotes attributed to Grohl that would lead someone to conclude he was/is a fan
of GNR?

I'd heard a few positive comments about AFD, nothing more.

And yes, he was at the first VR gig...

There was another MTV retrospective in which Dave commented on a Pavement video featuring nasty skateboard injuries and saying it makes you want to throw up, "much like a Guns N' Roses video makes you want to throw up."  And then there was the taunting at the 1992 VMAs.  So its hard to gauge what Grohls opinion of the band is.  However, if its true that he dedicated "Stacked Actors" to Axl, he definitely wasnt dedicating it to Axl just to mention him, and it wasnt meant to be flattering.

What year was the Pavement comment?  Because he used to sneer at GnR during Nirvana days of course, but it seems he's become friends with Duff or something, I believe he was at the first VR show, so he doesn't do that anymore, but Axl is fair game I guess.  And of course his whole Probot thing, he's become more metal friendly, not that GnR are metal but you know what I mean.  

He always annoyed me, let's see if he really quits rock n' roll like he's been promising.  I love to see a "punk" eat his own words.

I remember the Pavement video comments as well.  Hardly flattering.  

I've followed Grohl's career since his days in Scream through Nirvana and still with the Foos, the only positive comment I can recall was a one off statement about AFD, that's it.  Nothing whatsoever denoting being a "fan" by any stretch of the imagination.

Post by: Axl_owns_dexter on June 01, 2004, 12:43:48 AM
BTW, I think Axl's dream lineup at some point might have been something along the lines of, Navarro and Finck sharing lead, grohl on drums, and maybe keep Duff on bass.  Also probably have Trent Reznor working on the computer effects.  Man, that would have been an even bigger circus than he has now.

me either.... If Axl didnt want his name mentioned he shouldnt have accepted the RIR gig and then not shown up..

but if you dedicate a song to someone then the lyrics are the important ,
not in this case.. the lyrics are too vauge..

I dont have the quotes but I remember him saying that he watched rio3 from the side of the stage and that it was a great show and blew him away. SOmehting to that effect.

That doesnt make him a fan though. He could have enjoyed the show and still not be a gnr fan or whatver...

who cares you people get so wrapped up when some1 bashes Axl. Let them bash. One of these days Uncle Axl will have the last laugh and all of these "bahsers/pranksters/whatever" will wonder why there music sales have dropped.

Dave is a good frontman and was a great drummer.

If we remember correctly Dave has battled Courtney time and time again . and we know Axl hates Courtney so they have something in common. Lets not bash Axl because people think Dave hates Axl. You cant just hate everyone because someone says they dislike Axl.

Axl is not god. Just a great musician
