Stacker Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Inspiring! When I hear the words 'Keynote Speaker', I usually sigh inwardly, imagining some boring suit harping on about finance or whatever. But this was enthralling and inspiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chardbass Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Loved it. I have some of his music- not much, but I can listen to the guy talk forever. A passionate performer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbass4k Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'll have to find some time to give this a listen, but to be honest I've kind of been going off Dave Grohl a little lately, he's started coming off as a bit insincere, even hypocritical. I saw Foo Fighters in Germany, and towards the end of the set he made a big speech about how he was "proud to stand on stage and play true rock 'n' roll, with no f***ing computers behind (him)". The nord and novation synths their live keyboardist was using are basically computers, not to mention all the fancy rack gear they were no doubt using. It's an extremely arrogant viewpoint that I was sad to hear from him. It kind of adds to the Wasting Light thing, he made such a big deal about tracking on to analog tape to get back to "true rock 'n' roll", I can kind of see the appeal, but what was the point when they were just going to compress it to hell? Wasting Light sounds exactly like most major label modern records, which is to say, f***ing awful, I certainly can't hear any vintage tape mojo.
