it didn’t put me to sleep but those 3D glasses did kill my eyes.  More importantly, in spite of all the hype, I didn’t really think about it once afterwards, and probably haven’t watched it once since then.  The last Mad Max stayed with me longer afterwards than Avatar.  That more Avatar movies got greenlit is solely…

To be fair, MOST people weren’t impressed by the Avatar script.

I miss that look but I see why it’s not practical. Even a cheap off-brand wooden barrel is going to cost a hobo more than a set of clothes.

This explains why he’s been wearing nothing but a barrel with suspenders since Avatar came out.

Another drummer who gave credit where it’s due: Stewart Copeland, from a BBC show, talking with Sheila E about James Brown.

No hanging head necessary! He's great!

The production has too many problems with backdoors as it is.

When you’re goin down the slide and you feel something glide...

Like most Kinja “writers”, she is clearly thirsty for those ad-supported clicks and will make controversy out of nothing in order to satisfy that thirst.

Just look at the series Foo Fighters : Sonic Highways.

Judge you for having a thing for one of the most legitimately successful musicians around?

I’ve learned how to play drums and when I started lessons the teacher asked “what kind of drummers do you enjoy listening to?” my answer was “Dave Grohl” because when he’s interviewed he has no snobbery about what is and isn’t “real music”.

They spent $18 million on a reality show about a water slide? They deserve what they get.

Grohl’s drumming is pretty simple (so basic, I guess), but the thing I’ve always enjoyed about it is that he beats his drums like they owe him money, which works really well for the type of rock he plays.

I clicked on the article with dread... "No, please not Dave Grohl! He's a Good Guy®". Total click bait :p I got baited.

It’s because he's the rock n roll version of a golden retriever.

Agree; this was a bit of a misfire. Dave Grohl (like today’s birthday Queen, Ms. Elliott) is a national treasure. He lives, breathes and oozes music. And his appreciation for all aspects of it is apparent. Rock, jazz, R&B, soul, rap, country, pop...ska. He’s an encyclopedia of all of it. He loves and spreads the…

I’ll just leave this right here; he may not be the best drummer, but generally all round good guy, and does stuff like this;

Sure. But, geopolitics aside, there comes a point when revolutions happen independently of US or EU involvement. The Med is like the wellspring of revolution. Is China going to be willing to underwrite a major military force to hold parts of that world? Are they going to spend the vast sums, life and treasure,…

Slight problem though, thanks to us destablizing North Africa and the Middle East last decade, and also funneling a shit ton of cash into Brexit and other EU-hostile parties in the last five years, in order to keep the EU from becoming a unified power that could be a global equal to America, the EU doesn’t have the…
