Q: What makes Dave Grohl a rock god?

A1: Grohl was the missing element of Nirvana.

Here, we have a conclusion thinly veiling itself as premise.

Stupidity Score: 6/10.

A2: FF is a successful institution.

Popularity ≠ rock god.

Stupidity Score: 9/10.

Unprovoked Musing: Dave Grohl's "power" is exceptional.

Concededly, Grohl works well in Nirvana. But Grohl's "power" is mostly a crutch, even within that context. Grohl has stated he often feels the need to play really loud to get things to work. Judging from Nirvana's 1993 MTV Unplugged, however, Grohl has sold himself short. His insanely loud playing is rooted in some kind of insecurity complex. His playing is so loud IRL it will literally blow your ears out if you're near him. Completely unnecessary because he has a lot musicality to his drumming, and he makes good choices when BACKING the right people.

Stupidity Score: 4/10

Total Stupidity Rating: 10/10 for your attention seeking nonsense and not showing proper respect to threak treasure, @double00, who, as the old cliche goes, HAS FORGOTTEN MORE ABOUT MUSIC THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW. GO BACK TO LISTENING TO INSANE CLOWN POSSE LIVE TAPES FROM DETROIT AND GTFO.

btw there is a video ( i don't think i posted it when i saw it which is what i often do here sometimes i omit some pretty good stuff ) on yt nirvana live in rome . i didn't connect the dates but it sounds as if the band has just finished the album and they're doing basically the album versions of a bunch of tunes plus they do r4pe me way back then ( censor ), it's pretty good .

LOL, aren't you cute...and attention seeking.

Btw, he engaged with me; I was just drunk poasting and minding my own business. Combined White Knight and Stupidity score: 11.

Just found this - depends where I am... The CD currently in my car would be one of London Concertante's (either 'Night at the Opera' or might be about to switch to the 'Music Of the Movies' - I cannot remember how far through the first CD I got!). In the house, and whilst working - Brian Culbertson 'Winter Stories'.

Yes, my car is old and does not have all of this fancy Apple Car play business (or any blue tooth connectivity if I am honest!)

This morning I used Spotify to generate a playlist based off of John Cale's Big White Cloud and I was not disappointed. Some of the standouts:
