    Josh Freese will be the touring drummer for the Foos.
    Is this a prediction or a fact? 
    That is what Dave Grohl himself told a good friend of mine who knows him well.

    That's great.

    "As a studio drummer, he’s played on over 400 albums." :o

    Was just thinking how insane it would be to be the drummer for the Foo Fighters and it is only the third best band you played for.
    Depends on how you define or measure "best." I bet more people out there would consider FF better than SG. I would disagree, but I think we're in the minority on that.
    But yes, I see your point. Fortunate to be a part of so many great bands, regardless of the order.

    The funny thing was in my head Matt was the drummer for two RRHOF bands (Soundgarden and Pearl Jam) and would potentially be a touring drummer for a borderline RRHOF band. Sure enough I looked it up and actually Foo Fighters are in the HOF but Soundgarden only nominated but not inducted as of yet. 

    Not that RRHOF is the ultimate arbiter of anything but just reinforcing the excellent point you also are making.

    I never liked or bought into the MC -> FF rumor either.

    RE: the HOF… Jethro Tull isn’t in it, but Eminem is. It’s a f’ing joke.

    If Missy Elliot makes it in this year and Iron Maiden doesn't, then they MUST change the name to Music Hall of Fame.

    I don't mind if she makes it in at some point. But I think it's too early for her. When MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, or Salt n Pepa should have gotten in first. And LL should have been voted in and not gotten in the way Nile Rodgers got in. Both of them deserved the votes.
