    Saw the Sound City Players last night in Hollywood. What a gig! Over 3 hours long with all of the different artists. I think my personal highlight was seeing John Fogerty rocking all the Creedence classics with the Foo Fighters. Loved Alain Johannes playing QOTSA's "Hangin Tree" with Dave on bass. Also really liked Dave playing drums with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. So cool and just a really great night overall. You could tell Dave was loving every minute of it.

    Sound City was great! Dave Grohl is the man. Simple as that. Can't wait to get the soundtrack when it comes out. I feel like checking out albums that were recorded there now.

    Sound City was a pretty awesome documentary. So many times I caught myself rocking out and realizing I had the biggest shit-eating grin on. Just pure happiness and for the love of music. Dave Grohl is truly the coolest most down to earth guys, don't know when he sleeps.

    Go see it!

    They say Dave is the nicest guy in rock and roll and after last night, I can confirm that! Saw him host a Sound City screening with a Q&A session at the end. First, Sound City was a really awesome film, thoroughly enjoyed it! If you even remotely like music (which means you all), you should see it, end of story! The end comes, and Dave hung around for a tiny bit to sign and take pictures. Nervously went up to Dave to say hi. I told him that I saw the Foos at Globalfest (he asked me how i liked it, but don't think i even answered that, I was so flustered to be talking to a hero of mine lol). Told him how when they played These Days it was so meaningful to me, as 2 weeks before the show my dad passed. I said 'thank you so much' and that 'i wish there were words bigger than thank you, seriously'. He put his hand on my shoulder and told me he was sorry, and then gave me a hug. I asked him to sign and he nicely did. Then asked for a picture, and when I went to take one was fumbling with my phone cuz I was pretty much shaking. Dave goes 'here, give me that, watch this' and proceeds to take a selfie of us! Ahhh! He was even nice enough to make a 4 second 'hello' video for one of my best friends who is a huge fan! Thanked him again, and went on my way! What a nice, genuine, incredible badass of a dude! This pretty much made my year! When you finally meet a hero and see that they're just as nice and awesome as you imagined them to be- really REALLY cool stuff. :D

    Awww...Nice! Dave is really a cool guy, so are the rest of the Foos. The Sound City Players in L.A. was a super awesome night, and Dave was having so much fun. Glad to hear he stuck around at the screening for pics and stuff-that is so very cool. Congrats on the pic and video too. My hand would have been shaking too--I'm a total dork. :D

    I watched Back and Forth. really cool doc on the Foos. Im not a huge Foos fan, but I really liked SKin and Bones DVD. After seeing back and forth, I ordered the album that they did in the garage.
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)
