The nicest guy in rock’ Dave Grohl okt 2021

 

David Grohl Foo Fighters

The funny thing about the way the Bee Gees wrote songs was that they didn't do it conventionally with a verse-chorus-verse-chorus structure.

The Bee Gees divided a song into three sections, and those three sections were repeated twice. So with the Bee Gees you often think: is this the verse or the chorus? You don't know, it's just one musical highlight. Because the Bee Gees are such fantastic songwriters.

 I really love the Bee Gees. Otherwise we wouldn't have made a Bee Gees tribute album with the Foo Fighters (the last year's Hail Satin, ed.). We were in the studio one day, wanted to record a cover and I said let's do something from the Bee Gees! And the band said, uh, okay. But how then, they asked, how do you want to do that? And I said, just like the fucking Bee Gees! So we did.

 And the next day we did another Bee Gees song. And again the next day, until we had a whole album.

 I've never sung this high before, and I've found that singing Bee Gees songs is actually much easier than singing Foo Fighters songs, because it always makes me scream my throat completely bloody.

 When it came out – we called ourselves Dee Gees (after Dave Grohl's initials, ed.) – I was allowed to call Barry Gibb. What an incredibly sweet guy that is.”
