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!

Thanks to Suki for reminding me just how good L7 are. I meant to follow up on them when I heard the track Shitlist on the Natural Born Killers Soundtrack album years ago and was mightily impressed. It's taken from the album Bricks Are Heavy which is a good place to start with the band. In terms of all female grunge bands they kick Hole's ass. Now that just doesn't sound right now, does it! Here's a video of the girls playing Shitlist in Rio in '93. Play it loud, then play it again, this is good stuff.
