Foo Fighters: Back and Forth Page #3
like, that was a very big deal.
I remember the first time that
Nate and William and I got together to jam.
It was over at William's parents' house.
to William's parents' kitchen
and sitting there after we played,
and Dave just goes,
"You guys wanna be in the band?"
And I was like, "Hell yeah!"
Playing in front of people
was very difficult for me.
I did have a conversation with Dave
and I said,
"I don't think that I should do it. "
Dave said, "That's exactly
why you're the guy that has to do it. "
I don't know what that meant
but that convinced me, I guess.
After that rehearsal, Dave brings up
that he wants a second guitar player,
and thinks it should be Pat Smear,
who William and I knew from him having
played in Nirvana and the Germs.
Then Dave came over,
and he gave me a cassette.
I listened to that whole tape,
just front to end,
and I thought it was all great.
I didn't have anything against Pat.
I didn't know him as a musician or as a person.
But he lived in Los Angeles,
and I just thought that was f***ing crazy.
The way I'd grown up,
you were in a band with your friend from school
that you saw every day.
You'd go home after school and get together
at somebody's mom's house or basement
and work it out.
You can't do that
if the guy lives in Los Angeles.
Pat came up, we played,
and he was perfect,
so I got over that "Him living in LA" thing.
about trying to move to Seattle.
All of us came from bands
that ended prematurely.
We didn't really talk about our former bands.
For me, it was always
kind of a touchy subject.
At this point in time,
Kurt had only been dead for a year,
and I didn't wanna talk about it.
So we all entered into this new band
like it was helping us get through the loss
of the bands we'd been in before.
Dave saying, like, "Let's have it be fun.
"Let's have things be out in the open.
"Let's talk about sh*t.
Just no drama. "
He was like,
"I don't want it to be a stressful thing.
"We're not gonna tour into the ground. "
And...
Which I was glad about.
The first tour that we did,
was with a musician named Mike Watt.
He is a legendary punk rock bass player.
And he asked me if I would tour with him.
And I said, "Yeah, man.
How about this?
"I'll be in your band
if my band can open up on tour. "
And Eddie Vedder, from Pearl Jam,
had done the same thing.
And we said, "Cool,
"Let's put together a tour
where Eddie's other band,
"they were called Hovercraft,
my band - Foo Fighters,
"would open up for Watt,
and we would all be his band. "
It was just this, like,
revolving cast of musicians.
