Jan Backing Track Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Best of You is a guilty pleasure of mine. Way more than Everlong and their other big hits. I'm finding I like this In Your Honor album a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"long road to ruin" was a joke! the palm muting was straight off a nickelback cut. most of these tracks are just too top 40 radio polished for my taste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first two albums they recorded on tape I believe, probably fit better for Grohl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasting light was recorded on tape in his garage. Theres cool footage of it on youtube. Dave Grohls movie Sound City is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 He recently hung and played an acoustic set with Brandi Carlile. Hope that goes somewhere, amazing potential there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
