    Every other day this band is being announced for a new festival. Holy shit. Now they’re replacing Pantera at a few festivals too.

    did that "reunion" already implode?
    Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall

    The German festivals dropped them over actions by Phil in the past. He made what was interpreted as a “nazi salute “ and said “white power” at a show. He claimed it wasn’t what it looked like, but the festivals decided to cancel their appearances.

    It's exactly what he did. He meant it as a joke but it was an extremely poor one that was caught on film for all to see. I know someone who was backstage that night and his ridiculous excuse was actually true. People were making fun of him for drinking white wine and he used that as the basis for his Nazi salute and multiple "white power" screams. It was monumentally stupid.

    My source says Josh Freese is the guy but only as a hired gun and not a permanent member. Not sure when it will be announced.

    Not surprising at all. Josh doesn't do long term projects really. They need a monster who is ok with being a hired gun and Josh is exactly that. Would have guessed Josh the moment they announced they'd tour again-plus he's already played some of Dave's parts before in NIN.

    There are times Dave Grohl annoys me for being so visible all the time but this is just awesome.  Provided food at LA shelter for almost 24 hours.  Provided and BBQd over 450 meals all paid for by himself.  That's a good man.

    Man, if it is Josh Freese behind the kit, I'm extra motivated to see them now.  

    I might have to look into that New Hampshire show. (can't justify the cost for a single day pass to Boston Calling for one act)

    I got the 3 day pass for BC. Are there other bands you want to see on the other days?

    Yeah, I would love to see QOTSA, Alannis, The Flaming Lips & King Gizzard, but the logistics of getting in there every day are a pain in the ass for me. I live on the other side of the city and work even further away (in regards to getting there for Friday night) 

    and I’m just getting old… 2018 was great when there were 5/6 bands on one day I wanted to see, but for 1-2 bands a day, it’s not worth the hassle for me

    Dave and the Foos do a lot of really good things. I'm frustrated by what they do musically nowadays, but I can't help cheering for them anyway. Good for him!

    I mentioned it on the previous page. Nothing official has been announced but it's Josh Freese as a hired gun and not an official member.

    Where’s that dude with the inside knowledge that it was definitely Freese? I wonder if something changed or if it was false info.
