SPINAL TAP MOMENTS
The Grammy eligibility deadline is coming up on 8/31 and I have an idea/challenge to Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters/Nirvana).
See when it comes to the actual award show rock music always takes a backseat to hip-hop and country, partially because rock has had an identity crisis for over 20 years now. Rock 'n' Roll will never die, but on a mainstream level it's got problems. Which has led to more success for established bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Green Day, Foo Fighters, etc. Simply because none of the new acts have their legacy.
I'm in the firm belief that Dave Grohl is a rock 'n' roll g-d, therefore can turn anything into a hit record. Which is why I think just to fuck with the RIAA/Grammy's, I think Dave should quickly record an EP of him simply yelling into a microphone while hitting a cowbell and submit it by 8/31. This is because I fully believe Dave would get a Grammy nomination for it.
The RIAA/Grammy voting board would think the EP is groundbreaking and avant-garde. It would influence more bands to add cowbell to their sound and rock critics would hands down make it the rock record of the year!
Maybe get Flea or Will Ferrell to jump on to do some back up vocals and I'm sure Henry Rollins would join in on the fun as well.
So let's do it! I can help you with lyrics and ideas as well. Let's meet up at The Apple Pan, my treat!!!!
