It was not an easy weekend for drummers. In fact, during the weekend two rather important positions have skipped in the rock chessboard: on the one hand the soap opera WHO ended with the dismissal (the second in a few days) of Zak Starkey, on the other the Foo Fighters who decided to conclude their experience with Josh Freese after two years.
“Shocked and disappointed”, so he is definitive free before explaining what happened: «They called me to tell me that they decided to go in another direction. They didn't tell me anything else ». In his press release the drummer had added, however,: «But as many of you know I have always been freelance and I am used to rebounding from bands to bands, so everything is ok for me. Stay tuned to read my “top 10 of the possible reasons why Josh was hunted by Foo Fighters” ». Now this top 10 has arrived:
10. Once on tour I whistled My Hero for a whole week
9. I know a single Song of Fugazi
8. Only two words: polyritms
7. My precision as a metronome is considered “without a soul”
6. I asked that before each test there was a sound bath with the bells of 20 minutes
5. I have never tried to make my beard grow up
4. I did not introduce myself to the studio when Mercury was retrograde
3. I promised noodles as a fourth guitarist
2. I refused to perform if an Ouija and Nunchaku table had not been guaranteed after each show
1. All this thing about poodle (Freese has four, NDA) It has become a little too much
