Josh Freese has a Top 10 List on why he was let go by the Foo Fighters
Josh Freese is no longer a Foo Fighter. The journeyman drummer (he’s played with EVERYONE) says he was let go/fired by the band for no apparent reason. That’s weird that the Foos would create more drummer chaos heading into some shows this fall, but here we are again.
At least Josh has a sense of humour about things. He released his own Top 10 List about why he was turfed.
10. Once whistled “My Hero” for a week solid on tour.
9. Could only name one Fugazi song.
8. Two words: polyrhythms
7. Metronome-like precision behind the kit deemed “soulless.”
6. Demanded starting every rehearsal with a 20-minute cowbell sound bath.
5. Never even once tried growing a beard.
4. Didn’t show up to studio because Mercury was in retrograde.
3. Promised Noodles he could be 4th guitarist.
2. Refused to perform unless he was guaranteed a Ouija board and nunchucks after every show.
1. The whole poodle thing was getting to be a bit much.
Check out the comments section for his Instagram post, too. They’re pretty good. And don’t worry about Josh. He’s probably got a new gig already.
