Due to the six nominations that The Foo Fighters have received for the Grammys, Dave Grohl and Butch Vig were recently interviewed together by HollywoodReporter.com. In the interview, the two talk about a lot of things, such as the elements of making music and how the modern process really differs in comparison to the methods that were used in the 90s. This is especially noted since The Foo Fighters recently made an analog album with Butch Vig in the same format that was used decades ago. As the interview progresses, there is a lot of focus on Nirvana and some reflection on the recording experience during the band's prime.
Perhaps one of the most notable moments in the interview is Grohl states that working with Vig on Nevermind eclipses anything else that could be created. He also explains that because of that experience, he would tend to think about everything that happened and how it affected his decision of whether or not to work with Vig again. However, he also mentions that they are good friends and that it was time for a collaboration, especially considering that around 20 years have passed since their last album together.
Additionally, towards the end of the interview, there's also a short discussion about Grohl singing the background vocals on Nevermind and whether or not it was an indication that he could be a lead singer in his own band. Vig and Grohl then proceed to talk about how easy it is to be in a band these days, how the quality of music has changed, and artists that they enjoy -- such as Adele.
