Coolest motherfucker in music, Dave Grohl is about to release a killer documentary called "Sound City" based on the legendary analog recording studio (trailer right here).
Naturally, the movie needs a soundtrack, and rather than accumulating previously recorded songs, Grohl called every cool motherfucker he knows, including Slipknot & Stone Sour's Corey Taylor, Rage Against the Machine’s Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk, Nine Inch Nails‘ Trent Reznor, Queens of the Stone Age’s Joshua Homme and many other non-metal big names to contrbiute to the soundtrack.
I mean…look at this ridiculous list:
1. ‘Heaven and All’ – Dave Grohl with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s Robert Levon Been and Peter Hayes
2. ‘Time Slowing Down’ – Dave Grohl with Queens of the Stone Age’s Chris Goss and Rage Against the Machine’s Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk
3. ‘You Can’t Fix This’ – Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, Rami Jaffee and Taylor Hawkins with Stevie (F'N) Nicks
4. ‘The Man That Never Was’ – Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Pat Smear with Rick Springfield (he of Jessie's Girl)
5. ‘Your Wife Is Calling’ – Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins and Pat Smear with Queens of the Stone Age’s Alain Johannes and Fear’s Lee Ving
6. ‘From Can to Can’t’ – Dave Grohl with Slipknot and Stone Sour’s Corey Taylor, Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen and Kyuss’ Scott Reeder
7. ‘Centipede’ – Dave Grohl with Queens of the Stone Age’s Joshua Homme, Chris Goss and Alain Johannes
8. ‘A Trick With No Sleeve’ – Dave Grohl with Queens of the Stone Age’s Joshua Homme and Alain Johannes
9. ‘Cut Me Some Slack’ – Paul McCartney with Nirvana’s Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear
10. ‘Once Upon a Time … The End’ – Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl and Rami Jaffee with violinist Jessy Greene and drummer Jim Keltner
11. ‘Mantra’ – Dave Grohl with Queens of the Stone Age’s Joshua Homme and Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor
The tracks that immediately stand out to me are "From Can to Can't" and "Mantra." Slipknot and Cheap Trick?! Sure, I'll take it! Trent Reznor collaborating with Grohl and Homme isn't breaking news, but it is very exciting!
