The George Lite Zone

Sitting here in our hotel room in Berlin surfing You Tube in search of musical entertainment. Having just played a live version of L7's Pretend We're Dead on iTunes, I went hunting for footage of grunge's finest in full flight. That's when I came upon this clip that reminded me what a damn fine drummer Dave Grohl is. With Brütal Legend fast approaching, here's young Jack Black and Kyle Gass performing their tribute to the greatest song in the world, aided and abetted by the shiny demon himself. And here's Dave playing the tributed song. Hmmm is that why Zeppelin didn't have him guesting with them at the O2 Arena. Although he would have done a bloody good job... If they ever make a live action Muppet Movie, Dave's getting my vote to play Animal!

It's Friday night so it must be time for a double bill of gratuitous music videos. Yet another way to get stiff. Now that's what I'd call Grindhouse!!! First Lemmy shakes his blood with the Suicide Girls while Dave Grohl does what he does best and plays the drums. I still rate him as one of the finest drummers in the world. Shame he didn't guest with Zeppelin at the recent O2 gig. From the album Probot Then Nick Cave and the Raga Girls bring it on. I actually had the idea for that video, in the sense that the video maker Johnny Hillcoat said, "What do you want to make a video about?" and I asked him, "What do videos looks like on MTV these days?" and he said, "They look like a lot of black girls wiggling their arses at the camera," so this is basically what we ended up doing, really. Nick Cave in an interview for BBC Stoke January 2003 A much better quality version of this video can be seen on Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - The Abattoir Blu...
