He became good friends with Foo Fighters and especially Taylor after they were on the same SNL episode. He was convinced to do a shaky cover of Creep at a huge Foo Fighters concert when they started doing karaoke with each other.

That’s because the AV Club wasn’t as shithouse back then. 

Respect to Shane Hawkins. My Hero can be a tough song. It’s basically pumping straight 16th notes on the kick drum through the entire verse and chorus. 

How did I know that THIS would be the first takeaway here at the AV Club?

Remember when the AV Club not-so-subtly tried to insinuate that Dave Grohl was somehow responsible for Hawkins’ death?

A nice piece. One big question: how is that last bit “acoustic”? It’s clearly an electric guitar. Come on, AV Club. This kind of mistake didn’t happen when you were still in Chicago.

MTV did point out that the VMAs were “the No. 1 social telecast of the year with more than 40 million interactions,”

The dying with dignity train left the station a very very long time ago.

Oh god, this is the worst thing that could’ve happened. Not only are the VMAs going to slowly die and become irrelevant, but they’re gonna follow THIS road to get there instead of dying with whatever MTV could call dignity.

I’ll have to take your word for it

I don’t even get this, and the wildly clickbait headline. I assume you didn’t actually watch the source of your clickbait. What are you even arguing for? Nepotism?

It’s also super easy not to talk to your dad for three weeks when you’re a junior at NYU and he’s an actor who is pretty much anywhere in the world at any given time. 

I mean, if she doesn’t live at home, she could have just not called him for three weeks, and he might not have called her to give her space. Or he might have been exaggerating and it was really like 10 days but it felt like three weeks!  Or maybe she does live at home and you’re right, I have no idea.  I’m just…

Tom Hanks is wondering what he has to do to get Chet to stop talking to him.

Also a better wig

I didn’t think “the optics are weird” at all. He used his leverage to go to bat for a coworker. That’s great.    

“I love him so much for doing that. I really do, because I’ve been paid more for those kinds of things than I ever was for the movie.”

Of course he got paid more, he was fresh off GotG.

Another story exposing Chris Pratt as a decent human being. That piece of shit...

This all sounds exhausting.  Can't they just fuck each other and leave the rest of us alone?
