Last June, Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins sat down at his L.A. home for his last in-person Rolling Stone interview. He talked about stage fright, almost quitting the band, his 'older brother' Dave Grohl, and more.
After the conversation wound down, Hawkins drifted over to his drum set, put on headphones, and played along to Alex Van Halen’s manic drum part on Van Halen’s “Out of Love.” “This is how I practice,” he said, laying his sticks down after performing the entire song at an unwavering, stadium-worthy level of intensity. Portions of the conversation appeared in last year’sMy sonNirvana now. I didn’t ever see Nirvana. I’m so fucking bummed. I texted Dave. He didn’t text me back, of course.
I said, “It should be just like this.” And we showed up, and the Chili Peppers were nice enough and our friends, but they were like, “You guys just do what you want. Do your own production and we’ll do ours.” Yeah. Well, if you think about it, it started with the videos. Each video should be an event, should be either really funny or something interesting. Make a moment. Dave loves to grill. The reason Dave loves to grill is because there’s a beginning and a middle and an end to the project. And he is very, very focused when he is focused on what he wants to do.
We were amazing. We started the set with “All My Life,” which no one had ever heard. After the show, I remember going for a walk with him and him going, “We’re going to go back to Virginia. We’ll finish this record and then we’re going to go on tour and we’re going to be a band. It’s going to be awesome. Another week with Queens of Stone Age. It is what it is. Just let’s do this.” We got to Virginia, and me and Dave recorded that whole record in five days. And then Nate.
