Further Proof That Dave Grohl Will Work with Anybody
Let’s make a quick list of all the people Dave Grohl has appeared/played/recorded with outside of Nirvana and the Foo Fighters.
I know I’m going to miss something, so please help out:
- Them Crooked Vultures: Self-explanatory
- Lemmy: The Probot project, among others.
- Nine Inch Nails: Drums on several songs on With Teeth
- Killing Joke: Recorded and toured with on drums.
- Mike Watt: Appears on Ball-Hog or Tugboat?
- King Diamond: Probot again
- Cronos from Venom: More Probot
- Max Cavalera from Sepultura: Still more Probot
- Tommy Iommi: Drums and vocals on “Goodbye Lament” from Tommy’s 2001 solo album
- Tenacious D: Appeared in the video for “Tribute”
- Cat Power: Helped on the album You Are Free.
- Queens of the Stone Age: Recorded with them on Songs for the Deaf and drummed on subsequent tour.
- Garbage: Vocals on “Bad Boyfriend” on 2005 album Bleed Like Me.
- Davie Bowie: Guitar on “I’ve Been Waiting for You” on the Heathen album.
- Prodigy: Drums on two songs on Invaders Must Die.
- Slash: Drums on “Watch This” on Slash’s solo album.
- Cage the Elephant: Some live gigs subbing in for drummer Jared Champion after he suffered from a burst appendix.
What did I miss? Right. Ratt.
Dave’s latest plan is to record with two guys from the 80s hair metal band. I can’t even imagine. Meanwhile, enjoy some vintage Ratt.
He played live with Tom Petty shortly after Nirvana for a bit. I don't think he made it on any albums, but was there for an SNL gig at least.
The Moopets?
Bob Mould?
He also played on a Juliette Lewis album
Aw wow, I used to love me a bit of Ratt. Does this mean there's hope that Dokken might still make a comeback?
Oh, and this: http://www.rdio.com/#/artist/Lemmy_Kilmister,_Billy_F_Gibbons,_Dave_Grohl/album/We_Wish_You_A_Metal_XMas…And_A_Headbanging_New_Year!/track/Run_Rudolph_Run/
Didn't he play drums on a song on that odds and sods Michael Jackson album that came out in late '10? Think so.
He worked with Brian May on a cover of Have a Cigar on the M:I 2 soundtrack, and if live stuff counts, he played with Roger Waters on Letterman last year?
FOO FIGHTERS were musical guest on SNL a few years back and Dave appeared in a Digital Short called Punching People While They're Eating. Pretty Hilarious actually.
He played with Pearl Jam in Australia for a few shows in early 1998.
He didn't just appear in the video for Tenacious D's 'Tribute'; he played drums on the entire album, as well as drums on the entire Pick Of Destiny album.
Don't forget playing on Puff Daddy's remix of "All about the Benjamins".
Since the MI-2 collaboration with Brian May (done as Foo Fighters w/Brian May), the Foos did a couple Zepplin songs at Wembley with Jimmy Page & John Paul Jones.
The man has friends everywhere.

The Bangles?? really?
He played in a fake band called Crisis of Conformity – with Ashton Kutcher and Fred Armison – on the IFC show Portlandia last season.
