    Interesting. I hadn't seen them live with Josh, but he's well respected as a drummer so this seems strange.

    He might be the most notable touring rock drummer of all time. I wonder who Dave Grohl has in mind to take his spot.

    I'm in love with the ordinary

    If it ain't Taylor's son, this doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

    I really doubt they're bringing Shane aboard if they sent him such a cryptic message to let him go. I feel like that's something they'd just say to him, and he would totally understand. Still wild to consider that he'd never been let go from a band or project until now.

    Just realized you're the same Kyle Adams who landed on my suggested feed on IG a couple of weeks ago and whom I recently followed. Love your work, dude, those Gretsch tubs are amazing, and you beat the hell out of them beautifully.

    Might be Spider-Man...

    There's been so much smoke with them and Rufus Taylor.

    I know he's in The Darkness, but anything can happen at the drop of a dime.

    Adding in, Rufus Taylor knows Dave, the band, was rumored before, and oh yeah was Taylor Hawkins protege.

    Keep an eye on him or Jay Weinberg, or maybe Frank Ferrer who recently left GnR. Dave loves that guy.

    Maybe it’ll be Frank Zummo now that Sum is done
     
  15. Dave’s playing drums and they’re bringing Skiba in to front.

    Tim Heidecker has the top comment and it's great

    Dave’s voice in that recent Coachella vid wasn’t great, but guess he’ll get better with more shows back. I only say that because I guess it’s not impossible that he could drum again?!

    I’m probably chatting shit.
